Objectives To study the clinical significance of the early diagnosis on colorectal cancer and the value of monitoring precancerous lesions of p53 gene examination. Methods Histological specimens of tumor from 110 patients with colorectal neoplasms were collected under the endoscopy, another 10 normal intestinal mucosa tissues with benign enteropathy as a control group. By PCR-SSCP methods, examined p53 exon 5~8 of mutation circumstance, made pathological section at the same time, and combine to track the observation. Results 24 patients p53 gene mutation were detected out in 78 cases colorectal cancers,counted up 32 4%, among 17 patients were moderate,low differentiation, 3 patients of them were mucinous adenocarcinoma.There are 6 patients p53 gene mutation in 36 cases colorectal adenoma,counted up 16 7%, among them an patient of Ⅱ~Ⅲ class atypical hyperplasia adenoma occurrence canceration in the next 10 months.There was no p53 gene mutation in normal intestinal mucosa tissue.Conclusions p53 gene examination combinated with pathological examination could monitor precancerous lesions and early diagnosis of the colorectal cancer.

Objective To study the effects of glutamine (Gln) combined with growth hormone (GH) on the levels of cytokine (TNF-?, IL-1, IL-6), coritsol and amino acid metabolism in septic rats. Methods Ten out of 79 SD rats were randomly collected as the control group. Thirty of 69 septic SD rats, which were made by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) method and were given parenteral nutrition (PN) lived to day 6. They were also randomly divided into three groups as follows: septic group (n=10), parenteral supplemented glutamine group (Gln group, n=10), and Gln combined with GH (Gln+GH group, n=10). On the 6th day, blood drew from portal veins of the dead rats was used to detect the levels of TNF-?, IL-1, IL-6 and cortisol by ELISA. The plasma concentrations of free amino acids were determined by amino acid auto-analyzer. The muscle tissue of extensor digitorum longus was used to determine 3-methyl-histidine (3-MH) by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC). Results Except for the control group, most rats developed celiac abscess, hepatic abscess and pulmonary infection. The serum levels of TNF-?, IL-1, IL-6 and cortisol were significantly higher in the septic group than those of the other three groups, and they were significantly lower in the Gln+GH group than those of the Gln group, P

Objective To learn the control status of iodine deficiency disorders in Baoji City of Shaanxi Province.Methods From 2009 to 2011,according to the National Iodized Salt Monitoring Program,the iodized salt was monitored,and thyroid was examined in 12 counties(areas) of Baoji City.According to rural and urban area stratification,60 children aged 8 to 10 were selected in each county(district),and their urine samples were collected for determination of iodine content.In 2011,per capita daily salt intake was surveyed by the three weighing method at children's home whose urine was collected.Chencang Area,Fufeng County and Taibai County,representatives of Baoji City different geomorphic features were selected for investigation of water iodine,and urinary iodine of pregnant and lactating women,and 15 people were selected in each county (district).Results From 2009-2011,in the 12 counties(areas) in Baoji City,the coverage rate of iodized salt was all 100.00%(3468/3468); the qualified rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt were all > 99.00%.Children's goiter rate was 3.41%(87/2548),3.06%(77/2520) and 3.33%(84/2520),and they were all less than that of the national standard (< 5%).Medians of urinary iodine of 8-10 years old children were 368.20,293.80 and 332.50 μg/L,respectively,and the ratios of urine iodine ≥300 μg/L were accounted for 66.42% (797/1200),48.05%(692/1440) and 56.67%(816/1440),respectively.Median urinary iodine of pregnant women was 301.81 μg/L and lactating women was 329.79 μg/L.A total of 1116 households were investigated,the median of per capita daily salt intake was 8.9 g.Eighteen water samples were collected,range of water iodine value were 0.60-10.25 μg/L.Conclusions Iodine nutrition in general population of Baoji City is exceeded the optimum level,and the current iodized salt concentration has some down space,but fully consideration should be taken on iodine needs in different iodine deficiency areas and among different groups of people.

Objective To investigate the natural infection status of murine norovirus ( MNV) in laboratory mice in Shanghai area and isolate MNV from mouse cecal feces .Methods To collect cecal contents and serum samples from 319 specific pathogen-free ( SPF) mice coming from different research institutions .Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) were used to detect MNV infection in the mice , re-spectively.The positive stool samples were diluted and filtered through 0.22 μm membrane, inoculated into RAW 264.7 cells, and then identified by RT-PCR.Results There were 95 positive results in the 319 cecal samples by RT-PCR, and the positive rate was 29.78%.Among 180 serum samples which were tested by RT-PCR, 70 samples were positive by ELISA, and the positive rate was 38.89%.The infected RAW 264.7 cells showed cytopathic effect ( CPE) within 72 h. After 3 times of freezing and thawing , RT-PCR obtained a 187 bp band.Conclusions The results from the present study show that there is a high natural infection rate of MNV in laboratory mice in Shanghai area , and the strict breeding manage-ment must be strengthened .

Objective To study the interventional effects of Candesartan Cilexetil on vascular endothelial function and expres-sions of ERK/CREB signaling pathway in rats with acute myocardial infarction.Methods 30 rats were randomized into CAN group,AMI group and Sham group.Two weeks after the treatment rats were sacrificed and blood pressure,levels of blood AngⅡ, NO and NOS,endothelial vasomotor effects of isolated thoracic aorta strips,myocardial infarctual area and the expressions of ERK mRNA and CREB mRNA in infarctual myocardium were explored.Results Blood AngⅡ levels were distinctly higher in AMI group when compared with the Sham group,while the NO and NOS level were much lower.accompanied with EDDs decreased seri-ously,and higher mRNA expressions of ERK1 and CREB in infarctual myocardium.All of the above differences were significant. After the treatment of Candesartan Cilexetil,levels of serum NO and activities of NOS were obviously higher and almost reached the similar levels to those in Sham group,additionally endothelium-dependent diastole in isolated aortic strips improved greatly.Mean-while Candesartan Cilexetil can not only increase the plasma AngⅡ,but also decrease the size of myocardial infarction and the mR-NA expressions of ERK1 and CREB in infarctual myocardium significantly.However,blood pressure in all groups was not affected. Conclusion Candesartan Cilexetil can greatly improve the disordered endothelial function developing post-AMI,decrease the size of myocardial infarction and down-regulate the mRNA expressions of ERK and CREB in myocardium of infarctual zone.And all of the above protective effects of Candesartan Cilexetil were independent on blood pressure lowering.

Objective To investigate the expressions of lung cancer related genes and miRNA in peripheral blood of the residents surrounding the extremely high radon hot springs in Ruoergai County,Sichuan Province. Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from the local residents.Expressions of lung cancer related genes (p53,k-ras) and miRNA (let-7a,miR-34a/b) were detected by real-time PCR and the protein expressions of p53 and k-ras were detected by Western blot.Results The expressions of p53 and k-ras mRNA of the residents in high radon area were 0.97 and 1.33 times of the control respectively (t =0.13,-1.12,P >0.05),and the p53 and k-ras protein levels were 0.70 and 1.23 times of the control respectively (t =0.72,0.46,P > 0.05).The let-7a of the residents in high radon area was lower (t =1.63,P > 0.05 ) while the miR-34a and miR-34b were significantly higher than those of the controls (t =- 3.20,- 3.32,P < 0.05).Conclusions Based on the expressions of p53 and k-ras gene and miRNA,it can be concluded that the residents surrounding the high radon hot springs received radiation damage.
