Cancer Research and Clinic 2010;22(3):168-170
Objective To detect the expression of Id1 and p53 in human breast cancer and study their relationship. Methods To choose 80 cases of breast cancer from the surgical department of Tangshan people's hospital. All patients didn't get radiotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery. The expression of Idl and p53 of breast cancer were studied by using SABC immunohistochemistry. Results The expressions of Id1 were found in cytoplasm, while the expression of p53 was found in cell nucleus. The positive rates of Id1 and p53 were 87.5 %(70/80)and 90.0%(72/80) respectively in breast cancer tissues. The expression of Id1 and p53 were significantly higher in breast cancer tissue than those in adjacent non-tumor breast tissues,benign tumor tissues and normal breast tissues(P <0.05). The positive rates and expression intensity of Id1 in breast cancer had significant correlation with lymph node metastasis and pTNM stage of the tumor, but had no significant correlation with age, histological differentiation and tumor size. The positive rates and expression intensity of p53 in breast cancer had significant correlation with lymph node metastasis of the tumor, but had no significant correlation with age, histological differentiation,tumor size and pTNM stage. Conclusion Expression of Id1 in human breast cancer is up-regulated. Its expression is associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage and represents an independent marker for prognosis of breast cancer. To reduce the expression of Id1 will become the strategy of curing breast cancer. Expression of Id1 and p53 in human breast cancer have the same clinic significance. Each of them can represent an independent marker for prognosis of breast cancer.

7.Heteroplasmy levels of mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) A3243G mutation and clinical features in a Chinese family with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome
Chinese Journal of Neurology 2010;43(5):322-327
Objective To investigate the clinical manifestation, biochemically detected data, and radiographic features of a pedigree with suspected mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome, and to explore the correlations between the clinical features and the mutant heteroplasmy levels of mitochondrial genome. Methods The personal details, histories of stroke-like episodes and seizures within the proband and 11 members in the maternal lineage of the family were collected. Routine blood examinations and plasma lactate levels before and after movements of these family members were detected, followed by cephalic MRI examinations. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing were used to detect and validate the A3243G point mutation in mitochondrial genome, and real-time PCR were used to quantify the mutation proportion of A3243G. Results Typical symptoms of MELAS such as seizures, stroke-like episodes and hyperlactacidemia and atypical symptoms such as growth failure, exercise intolerance, fevers and migraines were observed on several members in the pedigree. Cephalic MRI findings performed during episode periods were in accord with the typical radiographic features of MELAS and cerebellar atrophy was commonly observed. Family members on the maternal side all harbored the point mutation on 3243 site in mitochondrial genome. Meanwhile, patients with higher heteroplasmy levels relatively manifested more typically and severely according to the clinical observation. Conclusions The pedigree is diagnosed with maternal inheritance of MELAS syndrome. The main cause can be attributed to a mitochonorial A3243G mutation.The mutant heteroplasmy levels of hemocytes in peripheral blood are positively associated with genetic relationship, seizure anticipation, plasma lactate data and other clinical features.

9.Influencing Factors on the Properties of Bone Scaffolds and Their Manufacturing Techniques.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2015;32(2):480-484
To serve as carriers of cells and bioactive molecules, three-dimensional scaffolds play a key role in bone defect repair. The chemical component and microstructure of the scaffold can affect the mechanical properties and seed cells. A variety of fabrication techniques have been used in producing scaffolds, some made random porous structure, some created well-designed structure using rapid prototyping methods, and others prepared bio-derived materials as scaffolds. However, scaffolds may vary in their inner structure, mechanical properties and repairing efficiency as well because of different manufacturing methods. In this review, we overview the main achievements concerning the effects of material and microstructure on the mechanical performance, seed cells and defect repair of bone scaffolds.
