Objective To investigate the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of curcumin in pancreatic cancer (PC). Methods Smad4 and Jab1 expressions were detected by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissues and pericarcinomatous tis?sue from 35 PC cases, and the correlation of Smad4 and Jab1 were analyzed based on the percentage of positive staining in?tissues from 21 random selected PC cases. The effect of curcumin on expressions of tumor suppressors p53, Smad4 and cell cycle inhibitor p27 were examined by Western Blotting after human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1 were divided into PANC-1 control group (no treatments were given) and PANC-1 curcumin group (treated with cell culture medium containing 10μmol/L curcumin). The effect of curcumin on expressions of combination of β-TrCP1 and Smad4 was examined by Co-Immunoprecipitation after human embryonic kidney cell line 293T were divided into 293T control group (no treatments were given), 293T curcumin group (treated with cell culture medium containing 10μmol/L curcumin) and 293T Jab1 group (trans?fected by HA-Jab1 plasmid). Results Compared with expressions in pericarcinomatous tissues, Smad4 was down regulated while the expression of Jab1 was upregulated in PC tissues (P<0.01), and the expression of Smad4 was negatively correlated with the expression of Jab1 (n=21, r=-0.71, P=0.007). After treated with curcumin, the protein expression of p53, Smad4 and p27 was increased in PANC1 cell, and the protein expression of the combination ofβ-TrCP1 and Smad4 was decreased in 293T cell (P<0.05). After transfected by HA-Jab1 plasmid, the protein expression of the combination ofβ-TrCP1 and Smad4 was increased in 293T cell (P<0.05). Conclusion Curcumin may have suppression effect of PC through increasing the protein expression of p53, Smad4 and p27, and the mechanism of Smad4 upregulation may be related with the inhibition of Smad4 ubiquitination process, while Jab1 may be also involved in Smad4 degradation through ubiquitination.

Objective To explore the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-14(MMP-14)protein in the human stomach carcinoma tissues and its correlation with carcinoma invasiveness and metastasis.Methods The MMP-14 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in 59 cases of stomach carcinoma tissues (observation group)and 20 cases of normal stomach tissues (control group,the adjacent normal tissues from the tumor margin of 5 cm confirmed by pathology),and its correlation with the clinically pathological parameters was analyzed.The expression characteristics of MMP-14 among various TNM stages of stom-ach carcinoma were also analyzed.Results The positive rate of MMP-14 expression was 50.85%(30/59)in the observation group and 5.00% (1/20)in the control group,the positive rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P <0.01);the expression level of MMP-14 was correlated with the differentiation degree,regional lymph node metastasis degree,invasion depth,lymphatic invasion and TNM stage,which showing the statistical difference(P < 0.01);the expression of MMP-14 protein was up-regulated and showed the transferring trend from cytoplasm to cellular membrane along with the progres-sion of TNM stage.Conclusion The overexpression of MMP-14 protein exists in stomach carcinoma tissues,which contributing to the invasion and metastasis of stomach carcinoma cells.

The calcaneus bone strength was assessed by quantitative ultrasonography in 47 postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM group) and 30 healthy postmenopausal women (control group).Speed of sound (SOS),broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and stiffness index (SI) in T2DM patients were (1 015 ± 170)m/s,(84 ± 14) dB/MHz and 45 ± 8,respectively,which were significantly lower than those of control group (1 403 ± 232) m/s,(111 ± 18) dB/MHz and 66 ± 12 (all P ＜ 0.001).Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (IR) was independently correlated with the parameters of quantitative ultrasonography in T2DM patients.The results suggest that calcaneus bone strength is reduced in postmenopausal women with T2DM.

Objective To investigate the correlation between deep vein thrombosis(DVT) and clinical laboratory tests in the regulation of hemostasis. Methods Endothelin-1 (ET-1), thrombomodulin (TM), P-selectin, prothrombin fragment _ 1+2 (F_ 1+2 ), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), thrombus precursor protein (TpP) and D-Dimer (D-D) were measured in DVT patients (n=72) and normal individuals (n=20) with ELISA method. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV) and accuracy were evaluated for each of the items, and the area of the underlying receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC ROC ) was used to appraise diagnostic efficiency. Results Except ET-1, there were significant differences between the DVT group and normal control group in the other items. The AUC ROC of P-selectin, F_ 1+2 , TpP and D-D was bigger than that of ET-1, TM and TAT (P0.05). The TpP had the highest sensitivity, NPV and accuracy, and the D-D had the highest specificity and PPV. Conclusion The increase of D-D and TpP could reflect the occurrence of continuous coagulation and fibrolysis respectively. Thus the combination of measuring TpP and D-D could provide better laboratory evidence for the diagnosis of patients with DVT.

Objective To study the inner diameter and hemodynamics of ophthalmic artery(OA)and central retinal artery(CRA)in hyperuricemia by Enhance-flow(eFlow)imaging and spectral Doppler.Methods One hundred and one patients with hyperuricemia and 30 volunteers were selected,the inner diameter in eFlow imaging and the peak systolic velocities(PSV),the end diastolic velocities(EDV),the resistive index(RI)were measured,and pulsatility index(PI)of OA and CRA were measured by spectral Doppler.The 101 patients were divided into two groups according to the time of diagnosing hyperuricemia,one group had a diagnosis of hyperuricemia for more than five years and the other had such a diagnosis for less than five years.The data were compared by t-test.Then,the patients were further divided into a group of hyperuricemia combined with hypertension and the other without hypertension.The differences between the experimental group and the group of volunteers were carried out by One-way ANOVA,the comparison between two groups were analyzed with SNK.Results The RI(0.68±0.09)and PI(1.3±0.4)of OA in patients who were diagnosed as hyperuricemia for more than 5 years was higher[RI:0.63±0.09,PI:1.1±0.3(t=3.504,P=0.001 ;t=3.164,P=0.002)],the EDV[(6±3)cm/s]of OA was lower than those patients with a diagnosis of hyperuricemia for less than 5 years[(8±5)cm/s,t=1.988,P=0.049].The PSV[(11.5±3.5)cm/s]and EDV[(3.7±1.1)cm/s]of CRA in hyperuricemia combination hypertension group was lower,and the RI (0.88±1.40)was higher than hyperuricemia without hypertension group[PSV:(13.5±4.0)cm/s,EDV:(4.1±1.2)cm/s,RI:0.67±0.08].Conclusion By eFlow and spectral Doppler,we have found that hyperu-ricemia could accelerate OA and CRA atherosclerosis.The eFlow and spectral Doppler are valuable methods to study the hemodynamics in ophthalmic artery of patients with hyperuricemia.
