0.05),but had positive relationship with the clinical stages and lymphatic metastasis of the tumor. Conclusion Livin ? is highly expressed in the tissues and peripheral blood cell from the patients of laryngeal squamous carcinoma,which is closely related to the clinical stages and lymphatic metastasis of the tumor.

Objective To study the activation effect of HBV RNase H protein on the transcription of cellular apoptosis susceptibility gene (CAS). Methods The promoter of DNA sequence of CAS gene was identified in GenBank by bioinformatics and amplified from HepG2 genome by PCR using sense (5′-GGTACCCGATTACATGTTGTACATGAAGG-3′) and antisence (5′-CTCGAGGCTGAGTTCCATTGCTATAG-3′) primers. As these primers contained Kpn I and Xho I recognition sites on their respective 5′-ends, the amplified DNA fragments were tested by sequencing and then subcloned into Kpn I/Xho I sites of pCAT3-Basic reporter vector by routine molecular biological methods. The reconstructed plasmid named pCAT3-CASp was identified by enzyme digestion of Kpn I/Xho I, in which the expression of chloramphenical acetyltransferase (CAT) was under the control of the promoter of CAS. The HepG2 cells were transfected by pCAT3-CASp, and then co-transfected by pCAT3-CASp and pcDNA3.1(-)-RH plasmids. At the same time, the empty pCAT3-basic and pCAT3-TXNRD1p were transfected (self-contructed by the authors) as controls. After 24h culturing, cells were collected and the expression of CAT activity was detected by ELISA according to the manufacturer′s protocol. Results The optical density of expression of CAT of pCAT3-CASp was 0.043 by ELISA, in contrast, the optical density of expression of pCAT3-Basic was 0.024. The expression of CAT in co-transfection of pCAT3-CASp and pcDNA3.1(-)-RH(0.065) was 1.5 times as higher as pCAT3-CASp plasmid (0.043), and 2.7 times as higher as pCAT3-Basic. Conclusions The CAS gene promoter identified in present study has transcription activity and HBV RNase H protein may activate the expression of CAS gene.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of earthworm fibrinolytic enzyme (EFE) on the metastasis of human hepatoma cells.Methods A metastatic model of human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice via orthotopic implantation was established.After the modeling for 7 days,the mice were divided randomly into the control group,low-dose EFE group (800 uku/kg?d-1),and high-dose EFE group (1600 uku/kg?d-1).After administration for 30 days,the implanted tumors were weighted,and the intrahepatic transmission rate and abdominal cavity seeding rate were calculated after examination by naked eyes.Then the pulmonary metastasis were examined under microscope,and the expression of focus adhesion kinase (FAK) and ?1-intigrin were detected through RT-PCR and western blotting method.Results Compared with the model control group,the mean weight of the orthotopic tumor was reduced,and the intrahepatic transmission rate and abdominal cavity seeding rate were decreased in FEF groups (P

To observe the clinical efficacy of combined acupuncture and Tuina in the treatment of enuresis following occult cleft spine and seek quantified indexes for result assessment, 40 subjects were treated by above methods and B-ultrasonically examined before and after treatment to determine the capacity of bladder and the residual urine inside it. The total effective rate was 90%; there was a difference of the capacity of bladder between before and after treatment (P＜0.05); 11 cases suffered from residual urine, and there was also significant difference of residual urine between before and after treatment (P＜0.01). It is revealed that this method can increase the capacity of bladder and diminish residual urine.
