Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and fibrinogen with carotid artery arteriosclerosis of patients with cerebral infarction. Methods One hundred and thirteen patients with cerebral infarction were assigned as study group, and 102 healthy persons as control group. The levels of serum hsCRP and Fib in the two groups were measured. The carotid artery arteriosclerosis and carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) were examined by color Doppler and B-ultrasound. Results The value of IMT between study group and control group was statistically significant. The positive rates of carotid artery arteriosclerosis plaque and vulnerable plaque in study group were significantly higher than those in control group (all<0.05) . The level of serum hsCRP was significantly higher in study group than that of control ( <0.05) . The level of serum Fib between study group and control group was not statistically significant ( >0.05) . Conclusion The level of hsCRP was closely related to the degree of carotid artery arteriosclerosis and the occurrence and development of cerebral infarction. But the level of Fib was not closely related to the degree of carotid artery arteriosclerosis.

SIRT1 is an NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase,involved in many physiological processes,such as cell aging,apoptosis and differentiation.Recent studies have shown that SIRT1 plays a significant role in tumor formation and progression.It deacetylates a wide range of histone and non-histone substrates and regulates gene expression and protein activity that are associated with neoplastic apoptosis and proliferation.

Objective To investigate the expression of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1 ), cytokeratins (CK) 7/20, and p53 in patients with Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocareinoma,and to evaluate their significance. Methods Expression of PARP-1, CK7/20 and p53 were determined by immunohistochemistry in 108 patients (including 40 Barrett's esophagus, 28 esophageal adenocarcinoma and 40 cardiac mucosa). Results The expression of PARP-1 was found in Barrett's esophagus, esophageal ade-nocarcinoma and cardiac epithelium with a significantly higher level in esophageal adenocarcinoma than the other two groups (P <0. 01 ). CK7/20 was expressed in much of intestinal metaplasia, part of cardiac epi-thelium and adenocarcinoma cells. The positive expression of p53 was observed in all three groups, and it was significantly higher in adenocarcinoma group than in other two groups (P < 0. 05 ). PARP-1 expression is highly correlated with that of p53 in Barrett's esophagus ( r= 0.49, P < 0.01 ). Conclusion CK7/20 is a sensitive but less specific indicator for intestinal metaplasia. Both PARP-1 and p53 are involved in the patho-genesis of esophageal adenocarcinoma and might help to determine the risk of Barrett's esophagus developing into esophageal adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND:Transgenosis of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene has been successfully performed into the muscle satellite cells of rat extraocular muscles in the previous study of the research group, proving that bFGF could express in the myoblasts of extraocular muscles, also promote cell proliferation and differentiation.OBJECTIVE: To further investigate the methods for regulating the expression of the bFGF in myoblasts following transfection. METHODS: Target gene bFGF was connected with inducing expression vector pcDNA4/T0/myc-His?A, followed by masculine clone sequencing identified by colony PCR and enzyme digestion, EcoR I and Hind III restriction enzyme digestion, as well as Xho I single enzyme verification. C2C12 myoblasts antibiotics sensitivity was screened and finally defined. By use of lipofection transfection technology, cell lines where C2C12 stably expressed pcDNA6/TR were estabolishd and then identified by Western blot. The pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A-bFGF was transfected into pcDNA6/TR- C2C12 cells. The bFGF expression and secretion in C2C12 cells following tetracycline-induced pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A-bFGF transfection were determined by immunofluorescence and Western blot, the controls were established.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ① The conjunction between the bFGF and inducing expression vector pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A was proved successfully by sequencing comparison, double digestion and single digestion. ②The minimal lethal concentration of blasticidin to C2C12 cells was 10 mg/L, while that of zeocin was 750 mg/L. ③ The pcDNA6/TR-C2C12 cell lines were established correctly. ④ The myoblasts treated by tetracycline and transfected with pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A-bFGF were positive for gene expression, those untreated exhibited a negativity; bFGF protein could be produced in myoblasts treated by tetracycline and transfected with pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A-bFGF, the production reached a peak at 24 hours, while those untreated can not produce bFGF protein. Results suggest that the bFGF expression in the myoblasts can be controlled by tetracycline inhibition and regulatory systems.
