Objective To find a new method to prepare the acellular matrix of the penile cavernous body. Methods Intact specimens of the penile cavernous body were collected from healty adult rabbits,treated with Triton-X100 and NH3?H2O,and then stained with HE.Light microscopy was employed to observe the acellular cells.Results Acellular matrix of the penile cavernous body was obtained after a 25-day treatment with Triton-X100 and NH3?H2O.The matrix was intact.HE staining showed that the matrix was composed of regularly arranged elastic fibers with wide intra-spaces without any cells inside.Conclusion Acellular matrix of the penile cavernous body can be prepared by using Triton-X100 and NH3?H2O.

Objective:This study has two objectives. One is to detect the methylation status of reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK, a new tumor suppressor gene) gene promoter in primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and nor-mal laryngeal mucosa. The other is to analyze the correlation between RECK gene methylation status and radiosensitivity in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods:Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the RECK gene methylation of 70 specimens of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and 15 normal tissues of laryngeal mucosa. The patients underwent six cycles of ra-diotherapy and were followed-up for 5 years. The correlation between RECK gene methylation status and radiosensitivity in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was analyzed. Results: After six cycles of radiotherapy, 47 patients (67.14%) showed sensitivity and 23 (32.86%) showed tolerance to radiotherapy. The methylation level of the RECK gene was lower in the radiation-sensitive group than in the nonradiation-sensitive group (P<0.05). The methylation level of the RECK gene was lower in the remission group than in the non-remission group. RECK gene methylation could increase the risk of cancer by approximately 5.010 times (OR=5.010, 95%CI:1.616-15.533). Conclusion:RECK gene promoter methylation in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is an early event that is correlated with the patient's sensitivity to radiotherapy. Thus, the patient's sensitivity to radiation can be predicted by detecting the meth-ylation status of the RECK gene promoter.

Objective The incidence of laryngeal cancer has characteristic of regional differences, but the etiology is not clear. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between RECK gene promoter methylation and prognosis of laryngeal squamous cell carci-noma patients through detecting the RECK gene methylation status of primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and adjacent tissues . Methods Methylation specific PCR assay was used to detect the RECK gene promoter methylation status of 70 laryngeal squamous cell carci-noma specimens in our hospital from July 2006 to Dcember 2007, and the differences of methylation status with different pathological parame-ters were compared.The correlation between RECK gene promoter methylation and prognosis of 64 patients completed five-year follow-up was analyzed. Results The RECK gene methylation rate (86.67%) of patients with poor differentiation in tumor cells was much higher than that of the patients with a moderate and better tumor cell differentiation (43.64%) (P<0.05).In 29 pairs of laryngeal cancer-adjacent tis-sues specimens matches, the RECK gene methylation in laryngeal carcinoma (55.12%) was higher than normal tissues (27.59%) ( P=0.029).RECK gene methylation significantly shortened the tumor free survival and overall survival analyzed by Log-rank (P=0.024, P=0.017).Lymph node metastasis and clinical stage in classⅢ-Ⅳsignificantly shortened the tumor free survival and overall survival (P=0.029, P=0.024;P=0.033, P=0.032).Moderate and better tumor cell differentiation significantly shortened the tumor free survival (P=0.024, P=0.049).Lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, and RECK gene methylation were independent risk factors of overall survival. Conclusion RECK gene promoter methylation in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is an early event and may occur in the adjacent normal tissues, predicting a poor prognosis in patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of celastrol on allergic rhinitis rats and its possible mechanism. METHOD: Allergic rhinitis (AR) model of rats was established by OVA. The behavioural characteris tics were observed at the 1st, 4th and 7th dayafter stimulation treatment. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in the nasal mucosa breathing zone were measured. The expression of the nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (NRF2) nuclear protein and the catalytic submit of glutamylcysteine ligase (GCLC) cytoplasmic protein in the nasal mucosa breath ing zone were determined. RESULT: We observed obvious behaviour changes related with allergic rhinitis in AR rats, together with decrease of SOD, GSH and GSH-PX and increase of MDA in the nasal mucosa breathing zone. Moreover, NRF2 nuclear protein expression and GCLC cytoplasmic expression were suppressed in the nasal mucosa. The changes above were alleviated in celastrol pretreatment group. The potential mechanism may be related to the upregulation of NRF2 nuclear protein expression and GCLC cytoplasmic expression after celastrol pretreatment. CONCLUSION Celastrol can significantly relieve the allergic symptoms in AR rats. The mechanism of this protective effects may relate to the upregulation of NRF2 nuclear protein expression and GCLC cytoplasmic expression in the nasal mucosa breathing zone.
