This article is to evaluate the role of DCC gene alteration in the development and progression of gastric cancer, as well as to correlate with its prognosis. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at DCC gene was examined in 45 cases of surgically resected gastric cancer tissue. LOH at the DCC locus was detected in 15/45(33.3%), and it was found to be closely related to clinical staging, but not to the histologic types, depth of tumor invasion or lymph node metastases. These results suggest that LOH at the DCC locus occurs in late stage of the disease and detection of LOH at the DCC locus may be useful for predicting the prognosis of the gastric cancer patients.

BACKGROUND:Mechanical stimulation triggers a muscle tissue remodeling, during which, myoblast process is a multi-stage development process. Many signals in extracellular matrix are involved in myoblast process, and mechanical signals are considered as important external factors for muscle formation and regeneration.
Numerous studies concerning cyclic tensile stress effects on myoblast proliferation and apoptosis have been reported, but the specific mechanism underlying the mechanical stimulation in muscle formation is stil unclear. OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of cyclic stretch on proliferation of C2C12 myoblasts and its mechanism.
METHODS:C2C12 myoblasts were cultured in vitro under 10%cyclic stretch for 6, 12 and 24 hours.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay showed that with the time of cyclic stretch, the proliferation of C2C12 myoblasts and the rate of S-phase fraction were gradual y increased and peaked at 12 hours (P<0.05), and then decreased. Western blot assay showed that the expression of nuclear transcription factorκB protein was decreased with time, which was inversely correlated to the proliferation of C2C12 myoblasts, but increased at 24 hours under the cyclic stretch. These findings indicate that the cyclic stretch can induce C2C12 myoblasts proliferation and alter the cellcycle. Nuclear transcription factorκB may be involved in this process.

Objective The development and progression of intestinal metaplasia ( IM ) and expression of tumor-related proteins in dog’ s stomach were observed. Methods IM animal model was established in Beagle’ s stomach by feeding N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-trosoguanidine( MNNG ),ranitidine,and local X-irradiation. Expression of APC, p53, K-ras and bcl-2 genes in canine gastric lesion were determined by immunohistochemistry. Resullts IM canine model was successfully induced, with which sequential pathology studied. It was proved that progression of normal epithelial cells to IM cells might undergo several stages including superficial gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, mild focal IM, moderate,and severe IM.Aberrant bcl-2 protein was detected in atrophic gastric epithelium and abnormal expression of APC, K-ras, and bcl-2 found in IM mucosa. Conclusion Canine gastric IM was induced by the method mentioned above.The development of normal gastric mucosa to IM in dog seemed to resemble that of human being.The presence of tumor-related proteins might indicate the transformation of IM to malignancy.

Objective To investigate pulmonary function of tidal respiration in late premature infants with non-mechanical ventilation treatment at corrected gestational age of full term. Methods A total of 26 late premature infants with non-mechanical ventilation treatment at corrected gestational age of full term were collected from Qingdao Women and Children′s Hospital between April and December 2013,and saved as the late premature infant group. Also, a total of 31 full term infants with hyperbilirubinemia or neonatal ABO hemolytic disease were recruited and treated as the full term group. Then the parameters of pulmonary func-tion of tidal respiration were compared between the two groups. The late premature infant group was equally allocated into extrauterine growth retardation and non-extrauterine growth retardation groups according to the increase in weight and the ratio of time to peak tidal expiratory flow and total expiratory time(TPEF/TE) and the ratio of expiratory volume at peak tidal expiratory flow and total expiratory volume( VPEF/VE) were respectively compared in these two groups. Another correlation analysis between body weight and TPEF/TE was carried out in the non-extrauterine growth retardation group. Results (1)Gestational age difference had no significant significance between late premature infant group and full term group ( P <0. 05 ) . The body weight[(2. 39 ± 0. 44)kg vs. (3. 21 ± 0. 43) kg] and height[(46. 51 ± 3. 22) cm vs. (50. 16 ± 2. 14) cm] in late premature infant group were still lag behind that in full term group and the difference had significant significance(P<0. 05,respectively). (2)The comparison of parameters of pulmonary function of tidal respi-ration:the TPEF/TE [ ( 41. 74 ± 10. 94 )% vs. ( 48. 17 ± 11. 79 )%] , VPEF/VE [ ( 42. 66 ± 9. 66 )% vs. (48. 31 ± 9. 94)%],VPEF[(8. 02 ± 2. 85) ml vs. (10. 23 ± 3. 56) ml] and minute ventilation[(0. 76 ± 0. 23) L/min vs. (1. 00 ± 0. 44) L/min] in late premature infant group were significantly lower than those in full term group(P<0. 05,respectively). (3)The TPEF/TE and VPEF/VE all had significant significance in both late premature infant group and full term group(late premature infant group:r=0. 958,P=0. 000; full term group:r=0. 950,P=0. 000). (4)The TPEF/TE and VPEF/VE in non-extrauterine growth retardation group were closer to those in full term group. The TPEF/TE and VPEF/VE in extrauterine growth retardation group were lower than those in non-extrauterine growth retardation group(t= -2. 775,-2. 109,P=0. 011, 0. 047). Conclusion Airway(especially small airway) resistance of late preterm infant group is higher than that of term infants. Extrauterine growth retardation influences the airway(especially small airway) resist-ance.
