Purpose:To study the expressions of cyclin E and P53 in gastric carcinoma in relation to biological behavior and prognosis.Methods:Cyclin E and P53 expressions at protein level were determined by immunohistochemistry technique in 128 patients with gastric carcinoma.Results:Of the 128 patients , cyclin E positive expression was in 57(44 5%),P53 positive expression was in 67(52.3%),P53 and cyclin E were both positive in 48(37.5%),respectively.Cyclin E and P53 expression level were correlated with tumor size , invasion depth, regional lymph node status, vessel invasion, and distant metastasis, Univariate analysis demonstrated better survival in patients with negative cyclin E and P53 expressions than those with positive expression. By COX multivariate analysis, cyclin E expression level was found to be of independent prognostic significance, however p53 expression level was not found to be of independent prognostic significance.Conclusions:Cyclin E expression within gastric carcinoma tissues is an indicator of tumor behavior and prognosis, p53 expression within gastric carcinoma tissue is only an indicator of tumor behavior.

Studies using isolated rat fundus strip preparation demonstrated that l-stephanine ( l-STP ) , l-roemerine ( 1-REM ), l-stepholidine (l-SPD), 1-tetrahydropalmatine ( l-THP ) and dl-tetrahydrode-berine ( THB ) possessed 5-HT blockade properties. 1-STP ( 16, 25 ?M ) produced competitve antagonism against 5-HT receptor on rat fundus, while higher concentration ( 50 ?M ) suggested a non-competi tive inhibition, with pA2' and2' values equal to 5.8 and 4.2 respectively. 1-REM was found to be a non-competitive antagonIst ( pD' 2 = 4.5). 1-SPD, 1-THP and THB cuased a parallel shift to the right of 5-HT concentration response curve without any significant changes in their maximum response, indicating that they were competitive antagonists of 5-HT receptor. The antagonistic potencies of 1-SPD, l-THP and THB were expressed as pA2 values: 6.2,5.2 and 5.0.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of trans-facet joints approach to treat thoracic degenerative disease with anterior compression.Methods From January 2003 to December 2009,22 patients with thoracic myelopathy caused by anterior compression were studied retrospectively.The patients included 16 males and 6 females,aged from 36 to 72 years(average 54.2 years).There were thoracic ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL)in 11 cases,thoracic disc protrusion with ossification in 8 cases,thoracic vertebra posterior osteophytes in 2 cases,ankylosing spondylitis with thoracic pseudoarthrosis in 1 cases.Preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score was 5.2(range,2-9).The characteristic of thoracic degeneration was analyzed by CT and MRI examination.Posterior decompressive laminectomies were performed by the technique of "cap uncovering".The facet joints were removed bilaterally.Anterior ossified compressions were cut via posterior-lateral approach,and then intervertebral bone graft and bilateral pedicle screws were implanted.Results All patients were followed up for 8 to 38 months.According to the revised Epstein standard,there were excellent in 7 patients,good in 9,fair in 4,and poor in 2.The total effective rate was 90.9%(20/22).The excellent and good rate was 72.7%(16/22).The mean postoperative JOA score was 8.7(range,2-11).Surgical complications included dural laceration in 1 patient,pleura injury in 1 patient,epidural hematoma in 2 patients.There were no cases of spinal instability or deep infection.Conclusion The anterior compression can be solved completely via trans-facet joints approach in thoracic degenerative disease patients.

AIM: To study the effect of Lomerizine on the activity of P-glycorprotein (P-gp) in primary cultured rat brain microvessel endothelial cells (RBMECs). METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to study the efflux of rhodamine123 (Rh123) and expression of P-gp in RBMECs. RT-PCR was used to measure the expression in mRNA level of mdr1 gene in RBMECs. Transwell model was used to detect the influence of Lomerizine on the transport of Rh123 through RBMECs monolayer. RESULTS: Lomerizine inhibited the efflux of Rh123 in RBMECs. No changes of P-gp and mdr1 gene mRNA expression were detected in RBMECs after the treatment with 30 μmol·L-1 Lomerizine for 72 h. In the study of Transwell model, Lomerizine increased significantly the transport of Rh123 through RBMECs monolayer from upper compartments to lower compartments, and inhibited obviously the transport in reverse direction. CONCLUTION: The effect of Lomerizine on the activity of P-gp was mainly via its direct inhibitory effect on the function of P-gp in RBMECs and the transport of P-gp substrates in BBB may be affected by lomerizine.

AIM:To screen the gene expression profiles of normal gastric mucosa,primary gastric cancer and metastatic lymph nodes by gene expression microarray and the associated genes with lymph node metastasis by bioinformatics. METHODS:The differentially expressed genes of nontumorous gastric mucosa (group A),primary gastric cancer (group B) and metastatic lymph nodes (group C) were screened by gene expression microarray obtained from Affymetrix company. The results were further analyzed by bioinformatic software including Gene Expression Profiles Analysis of Cohort Experiment,Gene Ontology Enrichment Analysis and Pathway Significant Analysis. The expression of TLN1 in group A,B and C were confirmed by real-time reverse transcription PCR. RESULTS:278 genes were persistent up-regulated in group A,B,C,which participated mainly in immunologic responses,cell adhesion,phosphate transport,inorganic anion transport,cell chemotaxis,cell motility and signal transduction. While 387 genes were persistent down-regulated in group A,B,C,which were concerned with digestion,glucide metabolism,lipid metabolism,protein metabolism,one-carbon compound metabolism,nitrogen compound catabolism and cell adhesion. The pathway analysis suggested that integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathway were abnormally regulated. These genes including THBS1,TLN,CAPN3,ITGAX,SORBS1,CAPN6,CAPN9 were continuous up-regulated or down-regulated in integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathway. The expressions of TLN1 in group A,B,C were 0.0000342?0.0000711,0.1064?0.1251 and 0.2886?0.3529,respectively. The expression of TLN1 in metastatic lymph nodes was significantly higher than that in nontumorous gastric mucosa and primary gastric cancer (P

Objective To investigate the mRNA expression of UPA and MMP-9 in gastric carcinoma and their correlation with histological type, growth-type, differentiation, vessel invasion, metastasis and prognosis. MethodsIn situ hybridization was used to detect the mRNA expression of UPA and MMP-9. ResultsIn situ hybridization revealed that among 105 cases, the positive rates of UPA mRNA and MMP-9 mRNA were both 58.1%. There was no significant relationship between UPA mRNA and histological type( r _ s = 0.123, P =0.210)and differentiation ( r _ s =0.102, P =0.298)of the tumor. However, there was a significant difference between growth-type( r _ s =0.344, P =0.001),tumor invasion depth( r _ s =0.296, P =0.002),vessel invasion( r _ s =0.198, P =0.042),lymph node( r _ s =0.332, P =0.001)and distant metastasis( r _ s =0.530, P =0.001);there was no significant relationship between MMP-9 mRNA staining and histological type( r _ s =0.143, P =0.145)and differentiation( r _ s =0.102, P =0.298)of the tumor. However, there was a statistically significant difference between growth-type( r _ s =0.267, P =0.006),tumor invasion depth ( r _ s =0.335, P =0.001)、vessel invasion( r _ s =0.209, P =0.032),lymph node( r _ s =0.343, P =0.001)and distant metastasis( r _ s =0.468, P =0.001);There was a positive relationship between UPA mRNA and MMP-9 mRNA expression( r _ s =0.237, P =0.015). The mean survival time in cases with positive UPA mRNA and MMP-9 mRNA expression were significantly shorter than that of cases with negative expression. ConclusionThe mRNA expression of UPA and MMP-9 can predict the invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma, They can be used as markers of prognosis of gastric carcinoma in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the expression of interleukin-17 (IL-17) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their relationship with pTNM staging.Methods IL-17 and MMP-9 expressions in cancer and adjacent tissues were detected from 102 cases of NSCLC by immunohistochemistry.x2 test was used to compare the ratio of their relationship with the pTNM stage.Results IL-17,MMP-9 expression rates in NSCLC cancer were 73.53 ％ (75/102),60.78 ％ (62/102)respectively,IL-17,MMP-9 expressions in different TNM stages were statistically significant correlated (P ＜ 0.05) respectively.The expression of IL-17 and MMP-9 in NSCLC tumor tissue were related statistically (P ＜ 0.05),and adjacent tissues were not related (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion IL-17,MMP-9 in NSCLC tissues were significant increased,both may be involved in invasion and metastasis of NSCLC,IL-17 and MMP-9 were correlated in NSCLC tumor tissue but not in adjacent tissues.

Rats receiving unilateral nigral injection of 6 OHDA resulted in distinct reduction of DA (-88% ) , DOPAC(-80%) and HVA(-60%) in striatum of lesioned side, and the contents of 5HT and 5HIAA remained almost constant in comparison with that of contralateral striatum, suggesting selective lesion of nigrostriatal dopaminer-gic pathway induced by 6OHDA. Following 6OHDA lesion the rats exhibited circling behaviour after APO challenge. 1-Stephaniae ( 1-STP ) significantly antagonizied the action of APO in circling model in dose-dependent manner. Our results indicate that 1-STP possesses the ability to block DA receptor of central nervous system.

AIMTo investigate the effects of prostaglandin E 1 on apoptosis induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocy tes. METHODSThe models of hypoxia/reoxygenation were made with t he first generation of cultured cardiomyocytes. Hypoxia/reoxygenation apoptosis in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes was studied by agarose gel electrophores is and Tdt-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL). Bcl-2 and bax mRNA were det ected by in situ hybridization. RESULTSThe results of DNA electr ophoresis in the H/R group showed the typical DNA ladder. And the DNA ladder decreased gradually corresponding to the increased dose of PGE 1. The TUNEL staining showed that the total number of apo ptotic cells in the H/R group was much biger than that in PGE 1(0 127 ?mol?L -1 ) group. The results of in situ hybridization showed that the conten t of bcl-2 mRNA in H/R group was lower than control. And the content of bax mRN A showed a reverse result as bcl-2 mRNA. Compared with H/R group, the content o f bcl-2 mRNA was significantly higher after treatment with PGE 1(0 014 ?mol ?L -1 , 0 042 ?mol?L -1 , 0 127 ?mol?L -1 ). But the content of bax mRNA in PGE 1(0 014 ?mol?L -1 , 0 042 ?mol?L -1 , 0 127 ?mol?L -1 )groups was significantly lower than H/R group. CONCLUSI ONH/R injury can induce cardiomyocyte apoptosis. PGE 1 has obvious an ti-apoptotic effects on cardiomyocyte and the mechanisms are possibly by inhibi ting the expression of bax and increasing the expression of bcl-2.hein creaseddoseofPGE1 .TheTUNELstainingshowedthatthetotalnumberofapoptoticcellsintheH
