Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Exelon and the high pressure oxygen uniting to treat the old-age period of dementia and influence of Exelon on plasma transforming growth factor ?(TGF-?), insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1)and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in patients with elderly dementia.Methods 172 cases with ?lzheimer's diseases (AD) and 202 cases with vascular dementia (VD) were randomly divided into Exelon group, high pressure oxygen group, uniting group (taking Exelon and doing the high pressure oxygen together) and piracetam group. The MMSE scores were graded before and after treatment. TGF-?, IGF-1 and ICAM-1 were detected in Exelon group before and after treatment.Results MMSE scores had improved in Exelon group, high pressure oxygen group and uniting group after the treatment in AD group and VD group (all P

Objective To study the function of cyclooxygenase 2(COX 2) and its specific inhibitor NS 398 on the cell growth and invasion ability of urothelial carcinoma cell line EJ. Methods The cox 2 cDNA was transfected into the urothelial carcinoma cell line EJ and a cell line EJ COX 2 which highly expressed cox 2 gene permanently was gained. The cell growth rate before and after transfection was observed. Then at various concentrations of NS 398, the invasion ability was detected by Boyden Chamber and expression levels of uPA by RT PCR and Western blot. Results The EJ COX 2 cell line grew more rapidly and had a stronger invasion ability than EJ and its uPA expression increased significantly. NS 398 could dose dependently inhibit the expressions of COX 2 and uPA and the invasiveness of EJ COX 2 cell. Conclusion COX 2 can stimulate the growth of urothelial cell line EJ and promote its invasion ability by stimulating the expression of uPA.

Objective To explore the roles of urokinase type PA (uPA) and uPA receptor (uPA R) in the course of repair after human embryo corneal alkali burn in vitro . Methods After the alkali burn model in vitro was established successfully, some techniques such as the observation of cell culture and morphology, ICC and image analysis were used. Results No significant difference was found between the cells from corneal limbus and central cornea and almost all of them expressed AE1/AE3. The expressions of uPA and uPA R increased to the maximum at about 24 h after alkali burn. uPA expression distributed mainly in the cytoplasm but uPA R expression distributed mainly in the cell membrane. Conclusion The corneal epithelial cells of comparatively high purity can be acquired by tissue culture. There probably exists difference in development and vitality between embryo and adult cornea. There might be commonness of the roles of uPA and uPA R in epithelial tissue.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the incidence of dysphagia and the location of brain lesions in patients with acute stroke.Methods Swallowing function was assessed by Watin drinking water test within 48 hours after admission in 226 cases with acute stroke.The location of the brain lesions was identified by CT and / or MRI.According to the US National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS),evaluation of nerve functions was evaluated within 24 hours after admission in stroke patients.Results The incidence of dysphagia was 50.4% (114 /226) in 226 patients in acute stage.The degree of neurological deficit of stroke patients on admission was significantly correlated with the occurrence of dysphagia (x2 =13.35,P=0.02).The incidence of dysphagia caused by lesions in internal carotid artery trunk (hemisphere in combination with basal ganglia/internal capsule) was more common in anterior circulating territory(internal carotid artery system),dysphagia with internal carotid arterg(ICA) trunk occlusion (hemisphere in combination with basal ganglia/internal capsule) was more common than that caused by cortex branches occlusion (hemisphere-cortex) or penetrating ICA injuries (basal ganglia/internal capsule) and cortex branches occlusion (hemisphere-cortex),respectively(x2 =8.228,P<0.05).The incidences of dysphagia induced by brain lesions of different cortex lobes had no statistic differences(x2 =0.312,P>0.05).In posterior circulating territory (vertebro-basilar system),the incidence of swallowing disorders was significantly higher in brain stem group than in the thalamus and cerebellum (x2 =27.292,P<0.001).The incidence of the dysphagia caused by lesions in cerebral hemispheres,combined basal ganglia / internal capsule and brain stem lesions were significantly higher than those caused by other lesions(x2 =35.639,P<0.000).Conclusions Brain lesions of hemisphere combined basal ganglia/internal capsule and brain stem are significantly associated with the occurrence of dysphagia after acute stroke.

AIM:To observe the effects of adipose differentiation-related protein ( adipophilin) on the expres-sion of inflammatory factors in RAW264.7 macrophage and to clarify the related mechanism.METHODS:The cell models with high expression and low expression of adipophilin were constructed by transfecting PA317 packaging cells with stable high or low expression adipophilin retroviral vectors into the RAW264.7 cells.The concentrations of IL-6, MCP-1 and TNF-αin the cell culture medium were detected by ELISA.The protein levels of AP-1, p-AP-1, ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 were measured by Western blot.The protein levels of adipophilin, p-ERK1/2 and p-AP-1 and the releases of the inflamma-tory factors in the RAW264.7 cells treated with or without ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 or AP-1 inhibitor curcumin were de-termined.RESULTS:The RAW264.7 cells with high expression of adipophilin had higher levels of IL-6, MCP-1 and TNF-α, and higher protein levels of p-AP-1 and p-ERK1/2 than those in the cells with low expression of adipophilin. ERK1/2 inhibitor had no significant effect on the expression of adipophilin, but the protein expression of ERK1/2 and AP-1 was significantly inhibited (P<0.05).The administration of AP-1 inhibitor curcumin had no significant effect on the protein expression of adipophilin and ERK1/2, but the protein expression of AP-1 was significantly inhibited (P<0.05). At the same time, the releases of inflammatory factors IL-6, MCP-1 and TNF-αwere significantly decreased.CONCLU-SION:Adipophilin may regulate the expression of inflammatory factors through ERK1/2-AP-1 pathway in RAW264.7 mac-rophages.

Objective To investigate the expressions and clinicopathological significance of 3q27-3q29-related p63 protein in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods An immunohistochemical Envision~(TM) method was used to detect the expressions of p53 and 3q27-3q29-related p63 protein in 102 cases of DLBCL and 15 cases of reactive hyperplasia of lymph node (RHL). Results The tumor cell expressions of p53(62 %) and p63(56 %) in DLBCL were significantly higher than that in RHL (0 and 13 % P < 0.05). The expressions of p53 and p63 were significantly different (1) between stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ (the positive rate 48.3 % and 41.4 %, respectively) and stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ(the positive rate 79.5 % and 75 %, respectively; P <0.05), (2) between GCB type (the positive rate 28 % and 28 %, respectively) and non-GCB type(the positive rate 72.7 % and 64.9 %, respectively; P <0.05). The expressions of p53 and p63 had no relationship to gender, age, B symptoms and locations. The expression of p53 was positively correlated with that of p63 in DLBCL (P <0.05, Cp=0.629). p53 and p63 protein expression in negative group the 5-year overall survival rate is higher than that in positive group (38 % and 6 %, 51% and 4 %, respectively), the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion It was likely that p63, as the oncogene, participated in the occurrence and development of DLBCL together with p53. Also, p63 and p53 might play a synergistic role in the occurrence DLBCL. Combined detection of 3q27-3q29-related 1963 protein and p53 protein in DLBCL, might be one of the indicators to the prognosis of DLBCL.
