Objective To detect the expression of hepatocyte cytochrome P450 1A1,2E1 in rat non alcoholic steatosis model. Methods 7 ethoxyresorufin O deethylase (EROD) and benzopyrene hydroxylase (ANH) activity were determined by ultraviolet chromatography. The expression of hepatocyte cytochrome P450 1A1, 2E1 protein in the liver of rats with non alcoholic steatosis induced by high fat diet was detected with immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Cytochrome P450 1A1, 2E1 mRNA were assayed with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT PCR). Results The levels of EROD activity in nonalcoholic steatosis rat at 2, 4, 8, 12 week and normal control group were (325.07?59.68),(345.25?49.28),( 468.95 ?55.28),( 548.68 ?43.25) and (260.42?35.32) nmol?mg -1 ?min -1 respectively. The levels of ANH activity in nonalcoholic steatosis rat at 2, 4, 8, 12 week and normal control group were (635.68 ?65.48), (735.45 ?76.89 ),(887.45?85.65),(956.58?84.47) and (500.25?78.34) nmol?mg -1 ?min -1 respectively. These indicate that the levels of EROD and ANH activity in rats with nonalcoholic steatosis were significantly increased compared with that in control group. In addition, the expression of hepatocyte cytochrome P450 1A1, 2E1 protein and cytochrome P450 1A1, 2E1 mRNA in rats with nonalcoholic steatosis were significantly higher than that in control group. The level of P450 1A1 and 2E1 was increased correspondingly with the degree of nonalcoholic steatosis. Conclusions The induction of hepatocyte cytochrome P4501A1 and 2E1 might participate in the development of nonalcoholic steatosis

Objective: Blue dye was one of the methods for sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer, but the success rate was affected by multiple factors. This study was to determine the related factors contributing to the success of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer using blue dye method. Method:From Jan. 2007 to Aug.2008, sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed by periareolarly injecting 1% methylene blue in 141 breast cancer patients followed by axillary clearance. Pathological diagnosis was performed for all of the lymph nodes by conventional HE staining. Unconditional logistic regression was applied to make both univariate and multiva-riate analysis. Results:Sentinel lymph node was successfully detected in 126 patients. But the biopsy was failed in the 15 patients. The success rate was 89.4% and the false negative rate was 6.82%. Univariate analysis showed that success rate of biopsy was in association with patients' age, body mass index (BMI), tumor size, preoperative axillary node's status, pathological grade as well as ≥4 positive axillary lymph nodes involved. Multivariate analysis indicated that the patients'age (OR=4.587, P=0.024), BMI (OR=4.882, P=0.011) as well as 4 or more of the axillary nodes involved (OR=3.143, P=0.013) were independent predicting factors for the success of sentinel lymph node biopsy. Conclusions:Methylene blue dyeing is a reliable method for sentinel lymph node biopsy. The rate of success is associated with patients' age, BMI as well as the number of metastases in axillary lymph nodes.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic etiology of a child with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome 3 (AGS3).
METHODS:
Trio whole exome sequencing was carried out for the child and his parents, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing. To further clarify their pathogenicity, the crystal structure of the variants was simulated and analyzed, and the plasmid of variants was expressed in vitro. A literature search was also carried out to summarize the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of AGS3.
RESULTS:
The child was found to harbor novel compound heterozygous variants of the RNASEH2C gene, namely c.434G>T (p.Arg145Leu) and c.494G>C (p.Ter165Ser), which were inherited from his mother and father, respectively. Analysis of protein crystal structure suggested that the c.434G>T (p.Arg145Leu) variant may affect the stability of local structure, and in vitro experiments showed that this variant can lead to protein degradation. The c.494G>C (p.Ter165Ser) variant has destroyed the stop codon, resulting in prolonged variant.
CONCLUSION
The novel compound heterozygous variants of the RNASEH2C gene probably underlay the AGS3 in this child, which has enriched the phenotypic and mutational spectrum of this disorder.
