Objective To establish matched-pairs of DNA samples with copy-number controlled differential target genes, and to compare the detection sensitivity of typical Representational Difference Analysis (RDA) method and Subtractive Hybridization Difference Display (SHDD) method in isolating differential genes.Methods Two gene fragments (376 bp and 869 bp in length respectively) cloned by PCR using Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA as template were used as differential target genes, and mixed with human genome DNA. Five matched, pairs of human genome DNA samples with gradually increased difference in copy numbers of target genes were established and RDA and SHDD methods were performed to clone differential target genes and compared their detection sensitivity. Results By using RDA method, 376 bp fragment with 6-fold difference and 869 bp fragment with 8-fold difference were cloned.However, both of these two target fragments with 4-fold difference were isolated using SHDD method.Conclusion The SHDD method adopts balanced bi-directional subtractive hybridization between two sample difference products and avoids loss of differential target genes caused by unbalanced subtractive hybridization of RDA method, and thus outweighs RDA method in isolating target genes, especially long-length target fragments, with small difference.

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) is a family of multifunctional nuclear RNA-binding proteins that regulate the alternative splicing of pre-mRNA and the transport, translation, and stability of mRNA. The most abundant and best charac-terized proteins of this group are hnRNP A1 and hnRNP A2, which share a high degree of sequence homology and functional similarity. HnRNP A1 and hnRNP A2 are upregulated in multiple human tumors and modulate the alternative splicing and mRNA stability of vari-ous tumor-related genes critical to tumor cell growth, apoptosis, inflammatory and immune reactions, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Therefore, hnRNP A1 and hnRNP A2 have potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic values.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR γ) in breast tissue in obese patients with breast cancer.Methods Breast tissue samples were collected from 60 obese patients with breast cancer (obese group),60 normal weight patients with breast cancer (normal weight group),the expression of PPAR γmRNA and protein of breast tissue were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry in all patients,and the data was analyzed between PPARγ mRNA and protein.Results Compared with normal weight group,the expression of PPAR γ mRNA and protein of breast tissue in obese group were increased obviously(0.79 ± 0.06 vs 0.42 ± 0.04,0.55 ± 0.07 vs 0.23 ± 0.03 )(P＜ 0.05 ),while the expression of PPAR 3 mRNA and protein were positively correlated (r =0.81,P＜ 0.05 ).In obese group,the positive expression of PPAR γ was 47 cases with 10 cases (21.3％) recurrence and metastasis,the negative expression of PPAR 3 was 13 cases with 11 cases (84.6％) recurrence and metastaais,there was significant difference(P ＜ 0.05 ).In normal weight group,the positive expression of PPAR γwas 19 cases with 4 cases ( 21.1％ ) recurrence and metastasis,the negative expression of PPAR 3 was 41 cases with 10 cases (24.4％) recurrence and metastasis,there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Obese patients with breast cancer own a high expression trend of expression of PPAR γ mRNA and protein of breast tissue,which indicates that PPARγ may be play an important role in occurrence,evolvement and prognosis of obesity-related breast cancer.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of mild moxibustion plus loratadine tablets for children with allergic rhinitis (AR).Methods: A total of 80 children were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with loratadine tablets, and the observation group was treated with mild moxibustion plus loratadine tablets. Before and after treatment, the total nasal symptom score (TNSS) was evaluated, and the serum eosinophils (EOS) count, and the interleukin (IL)-27 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels were measured. Clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the TNSS in both groups decreased (P<0.05), and the TNSS in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); the serum EOS count in both groups decreased (P<0.05), and the serum EOS count in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The serum IL-27 level in the control group had no statistical difference compared with the same group before treatment (P>0.05), and the serum MIF level decreased after treatment (P<0.05). The serum IL-27 level in the observation group increased after treatment (P<0.05), and the serum MIF level decreased after treatment (P<0.05), and were both statistically different from those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Mild moxibustion plus loratadine tablets is effective in treating children with AR. It can significantly improve the nasal symptoms and reduce the serum EOS count, which may be related to the regulation of the serum IL-27 and MIF levels.

Objective: To observe the bone graft fusion of goat cervical model implanted with anterior cervical-adjustable fusion fixator(AC-AFF), laying a foundation for future studies. Methods: Eighteen experiment goats were implanted with AC-AFF, titanium mesh and autogenous iliac bone combined cervical plate after corpectomy. Six months later, the fused cervical spine vertebrae were collected, prepared, and observed grossly, under microscope, by X-ray photographs and CT scan; the fusion of the graft was evaluated. Meanwhile, the fusion of AC-AFF with the adjacent vertebral surface was observed. Results: All the experiment animals survived after operation; all the implants were stable, without displace or loosening. The interface where the titanium or AC-AFF contacts the vertebral body surface was bulged and ossified. All iliac bone graft fused well and a great deal of bony callus was found covering the vertebral body surface. Lucency area was not seen surrounding the bone graft, titanium and AC-AFF on the X-ray films, and there was new bone formation in the interface of internal fixation and bone. The central region of titanium and AC-AFF became vague and new bone formation was found in the intracavitary area of implants by CT scan. And part of the new bone transited the parietal reticulation and connected with normal ossea at titanium and AC-AFF. A large number of phoroblasts and chondrocytes were found microscopically in the bone fusion sites in all cases; however, the region without bony callus still existed in the titanium mesh lateral wall. Conclusion: There are no differences in bone fusion between AC-AFF with titanium mesh and autogenous iliac bone combined cervical plate. New phoroblasts and chondrocytes can be generated in the bone graft interface. AC-AFF has been proven as an important method for cervical stability reconstruction after decompression operation.

Objective: To establish an animal model for anterior cervical-adjustable fusion fixator (AC-AFF), and to compare the operation time, blood loss, and recovery time of food intake and movement between AC-AFF group and other groups with different cervical reconstruction fixators. Methods: Eighteen goats were evenly randomized into 3 groups: AC-AFF, steel plate+ titanium mesh, and steel plate+autogenous iliac bone group. The 3 fixtors were implanted after corpectomy. The operation time, blood loss during operation, and recovery time of food intake and movement were recorded in each animal and were compared. Results: All experiment animals survived after operation; one animal of steel plate+titanium mesh group suffered from incision infection and recovered 5 days after intramuscular penicillin therapy. Two animals in steel plate+autogenous iliac bone group could not stand on forehoof, but food intake was not influenced; the animals could stand 1 week later without treatment and walked with difficulty, and they recovered normal walk 2 weeks later. Four animals received C3 corpectomy (2 received AC-AFF and 2 received steel plate+titanium mesh) and the rest received C4 corpectomy. It was found that AC-AFF group had the shortest operation time (P<0.01), and there was no difference between the other 2 groups. The intra-operation blood loss in the steel plate+autogenous iliac bone group was significantly higher than that in the other 2 groups (P<0.01), with no significant difference found between the latter 2 groups. Conclusion: AC-AFF is easier to manage than the other 2 fixators; besides, AC-AFF has less blood loss, short operation time, less post-operation complication, and early recovery of food intake and movement.
