LRRC4, a novel member of LRR (leucine-rich repeat) superfamily, is cloned by expressed sequence tag (EST)-mediated positional cloning strategy combined with 5′-RACE technology. Normal expression of LRRC4 is highly specific for brain, whereas absent or significantly down-regulated in primary tumors including glioma, meningioma and pituitary adenoma. LRRC4 is a functional gene in neural development and axon growth, and associated with glioma grade progression. LRRC4 expression is gradually reduced, even absent accompany with glioma grade increase. Absent expression of LRRC4 is involved in the late event of malignant glioma progression.The reexpression of LRRC4 can decrease a series of growth factors/neurotrophic factors (IGF, EGF, PDGF, CNTF, bFGF,GDNF and BDNF) or receptors gene expression to regulate RTK-mediated many signaling transduction pathway, such as K-Ras/c-Raf/ERK/MAPK, PI-3K/AKT/NF-?B, p70S6/PKC, STAT3 and JNK2/c-Jun/mp53, which block U251 cells in late phase of G1 to inhibit glioma cells proliferation and invasion. This inhibitory effect of LRRC4 is dependent on its LRR domain. LRRC4 induces glioma cells to differentiate into astrocyte-like cells more than apoptosis.

[Objective] To observe effects of HQSM on CK, LDH and AST activity in serum of acute myocardial ischemia rats caused by injecting pituitrin.[Method] SD rats were divided into several groups at random: normal control group,model control group, three HQSM groups(210mg/kg,150mg/kg,105mg/kg), positive control group(Huangqi Shengmaiyin and Diao Xinxuekang).The rats were treated with respective drugs by ig for 30 days, and pituitrin was injected respectively by caudal vein 1h after administering at the 29th and 30th days.Blood serum was taken out to determinate the activity of CK, LDH and AST at 1h and 24h after the last injection. [Result] The activity of LDH and AST in serum increased at 1h after injecting pituitrin, the activity of CK in serum increased,meanwhile LDH and AST was still higher than normal control group at 24h. HQSM could decrease the activity of CK and AST(P

It provides a novel procedure for revealing the molecular mechanism and regulatory network of different development stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The progress of isolation, identification and function study of tumor susceptibility/suppressor gene, gene transcription profiling and transcription regulatory networks have been introduced.

Despite seminal studies in the 1920s by Warburg showing a characteristic metabolic pattern for tumors, cancer bioenergetics has otfen been relegated to the backwaters of cancer biology. Recent studies have shown that metabolism in the tumor tissue is far more complicated than we previously knew. Despite vigorous glycolysis, in fact, the tumor tissue still retains mitochondrial aerobic metabolism. Mitochondria is one of the main sites of the biosynthesis process of tumor cells. Recent studies revealed that abnormal fatty acid metabolism. Amino acid metabolism plays a key role in the tumorigenesis. The metabolic network in tumor cells was reprogrammed, leading to nutrition lfux reorganization and re-direction. Metabolism reprogramming in tumor cells facilitates the balance between the needs of energy supply and the synthesis of biological macromolecules. Targeting cell metabolism is not intended to interfere the energy supply of tumor cells but to affect the synthesis of metabolic rate, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of the tumor. hTe review focuses on the importance of metabolic reprogramming in tumor development and cancer therapy. We summarize what is currently known about metabolic reprogramming and establish a framework to understanding its contribution to the altered metabolism of cancer cells.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a polygenetic inheritance tumor. It has very high incidence in southern China and among immigrants and their offspring from south Chinese, and has done a great harm to the health of south Chinese. As a malignant tumor with obvious tendency of familial aggregation and regional difference, it is suggested that the etiology and pathogenesis of NPC are relevant to the coeffects of genetic and environmental factors. It is the main point to focus on the elucidating of the pathogenesis of PNC as a polygenetic inheritance tumor, primarily establishing of the concept of susceptibility gene groups in NPC and the carcinogenesis model of the multi-step Domino effect involved in the molecular mechanisms of NPC dominated by susceptibility gene groups in order to lay out a substantial foundation for finding the high-risk susceptibility factors of NPC, screening the high-risk population of NPC and exploring the targetic and individual measures in diagnosis and treatment of NPC.

Objective:To investigate the current status and related factors of psychological distress in tele-phone operators.Methods:Totally 575 telephone operators from sample of a convenient survey in a certain telecom-munication company of Shandong Province were selected.They were assessed with Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10),Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10),Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS)and Sim-plified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ)for the evaluation of psychological distress,resilience,perceived social support and the coping style respectively.Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify the related factors of psy-chological distress.Results:The mean score of K10 was (24.7 ±6.7),91.8% (528 /575)of telephone operators had psychological distress.Specifically,24.5%(141 /575)had mild psychological distress,45.4% (261 /575)had moderate psychological distress,21.9% (126 /575)had severe psychological distress.Ordinal logistic regression a-nalysis indicated that the ones with good economic conditions (OR =1.74,95%CI:1.15 -2.63),higher level of re-silience (OR =1.13,95%CI:1.10 -1.17)and other social support (OR =1.07,95%CI:1.02 -1.12)had milder psychological distress;while with negative coping style (OR =0.29,95%CI:0.20 -0.41)had more severe psycho-logical distress.Conclusion:It suggested that the prevalence rate of psychological distress among telephone opera-tors is high.Poor economic conditions,lower level of resilience and social support,and negative coping style might be the related factors of psychological distress.
