Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of tumor M2-PK in lung cancer.Methods The concentration of Tumor M2-PK in plasma was detected by ELISA in 106 health controls,77 benign lung disease patients and 92 lung cancer patients.Results TuM2-PK concentration in plasma and the positive rate were singificantly higher in lung cancer(22.1 U/m1,71%)than that in benign lung disease and in health controls(10.5 U/ml,4% and 8 U/ml,3%)(P

Objective:To investigate the effects of survivin antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) on expression of survivin and ACC-M cell apoptosis. Methods: A phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) of specific target survivin was designed and synthesized and then transferred to ACC-M cell line by lipofectin. At the same time blank control group, sense oligonucleotide (SODN) group were set up for comparison. MTT assay was used to detect cytotoxicity. Apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry. Survivin expression was determined by RT-PCR and Western-Blotting. Results: Compared with control group and SOND group, in ASODN groups, the expression of survivin mRNA and protein were obviously weak, apoptosis rate apparently increased, cells growth was inhibited. There was no obviously difference in SODN and control groups.Conclusion:ASODN can down-regulate the expression of survivin gene in ACC-M cell line specifically. It plays an important role in inducing tumor apoptosis and suppressing cell proliferation.

Objective To develop a new methodology of prenatal sonography scoring to assess and dignose clubfoot.Methods Thirty-one fetuses suspected clubfoot(50 foots) and 62 normal fetuses(124 foots) were scanned with both 2D and 3D sonography,and were divided into normal feet group and clubfeet group.Our scoring system was made according to the Pirani-scoring for children,while considering the morphology of mid-foot and hind-foot of infants.The doctors would give final diagnosis for all fetuses after delivery or induced labor,and analyse the correlations among the abnormal signs,sonographic score and the clinical outcomes.Results The curve lat border,the medial crease,the empty heel and the post crease can be observed in the 3D reconstruction images.These four abnormal signs had close correlations with the clinical results.Conclusions The new prenatal clubfeet scoring system by 3D sonography is a promising methodology with clinical values.
