Objective: To research the proteins differentially expressed during evolution of experimental colorectal carcinoma (normal mucosa→adenoma→carcinoma→liver metastasis) so as to find the early diagnostic biomarker of colorectal cancer as well as to understand its pathogenesis mechanism. Methods: Ninety male rats were injected with 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine intraperitoneally and sacrificed at different weeks to establish the experimental colorectal tumor models (from normal mucosa to liver metastasis). These samples at different stages were collected and divided into four groups (normal mucosa group, adenoma group, carcinoma group, and liver metastasis group). The proteins of these 4 groups were extracted to conduct 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The differential protein spots were examined by mass spectrometry and analyzed by bioinformatics. Results: Ten differentially expressed proteins were identified by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry including α-enolase, cardiac α-actin (CA), transgelin protein, myosin regulatory light chain smooth muscle isoform (MRLC), glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), haptoglobin, disulfideisomerase (DI), creatine kinase mitochondrial (CKm), heat shock protein-8 (HSP-8) and Keratin complex-2 (KC-2). Conclusions: There exist differentially expressed proteins at various stages during the evolution of colorectal carcinoma. These proteins may be the candidate biomarkers for the early diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma. Proteomic technology is an effective way for preliminary identification of the tumor biomarkers.

Objective To investigate the effects of GGNBP2 on proliferation,migration and invasion of human gli-oma U251 cells and the potential mechanism. Methods U251 glioma cells were transfected with lentiviral vector carrying GGNBP2 to establish a stable overexperssion of GGNBP2 in U251 cell line. After verification of the efficiency of transfec-tion by real-time PCR, Western Blot, PCR and CCK-8 were applied to detect the proliferation of U251 cells. The Tran-swell chamber assay was applied to measure the migration and invasion of human U251 glioma cells. Western blot was applied to measure protein levels of AKT, p-AKT, PCNA and MMP9. Result The stable U251 glioma cell line overex-pressing GGNBP2 was successfully established. Compared with the control group, overexpression of GGNBP2 significant-ly inhibited the proliferation(P<0.05),invasion(57±6 vs. 203±6,205±7,F=512.4,P < 0.05)and migration (74±7 vs. 254±14,248±13,F=242.5,P<0.05) of U251 cells. The protein expression levels of p-AKT (F=45.4, P<0.05), PCNA (F=348.5, P<0.05) and MMP-9 (F=88.7, P<0.05) in GGNBP2 group were markedly decreased compared with the control group. Conclusion GGNBP2 may suppress the proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma though down-regulation of p-AKT, which in turn inhibits PCNA and MMP-9 expression.

Objective To evaluate the role of spinal c?Jun N?terminal kinase ( JNK ) signaling pathway in incisional pain in rats. Methods Sixty?three adult male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=21 each) using a random number table: incisional pain group ( IP group) , dimethyl sulfoxide ( DMSO) group, and JNK inhibitor SP600125 group ( SP group) . A 1?cm longitudinal incision was made through skin, fascia and muscle of the plantar aspect of the hindpaw in anesthetized rats. In group DMSO, 10% DMSO 10 μl was injected intrathecally at 30 min before surgery. In group SP, SP600125 25 μg (in 10 μl of 10% DMSO) was injected intrathecally at 30 min before sur?gery. Six rats in each group were sacrificed, and the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold ( MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency ( TWL) were measured at 24 h before establishment of the model and 2, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h after establishment of the model. After measurement of the pain threshold at 24 h before establishment of the model and 6, 24, 48 and 72 h after establishment of the model, the lumbar segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of phosphorylated JNK ( p?JNK) by im?munofluorescence. Results The MWT was significantly lower, the TWL was shorter, and the expression of p?JNK was lower at each time point after establishment of the model than at 24 h before establishment of the model in group IP (P<0?05). Compared with group IP, the MWT was significantly increased, the TWL was prolonged, and the expression of p?JNK was down?regulated at each time point after establishment of the model in group SP ( P<0?05) , and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned a?bove in group DMSO ( P>0?05) . Conclusion Spinal JNK signaling pathway is involved in the develop?ment and maintenance of incisional pain in rats.

Objective:To investigate the differences in efficacy, survival outcomes, and acute and late toxicities for patients with local/regional advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in combination with che-motherapy (CT) and by IMRT alone. Methods:A total of 72 newly diagnosed local/regional advanced NPC patients were randomly subjected to IMRT/RT+adjuvant CT (after radiotherapy, RT) (n=42) or IMRT+adjuvant CT (after RT) (n=30). The Kaplan-Meier meth-od was used to analyze the two-year local/regional control rates, distant metastasis-free survivals, and overall survivals. The acute and late radiation toxicities were evaluated based on the toxicity criteria of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and European Organiza-tion for Research and Treatment of Cancer. Results:A median follow up period of 13.5 months was included in the study. The one-year and two-year local/regional control rates, distant metastasis-free survivals, and overall survival in the IMRT group were 95.0%, 80.0%, and 95.0%, and 80%, 60.0%, and 75.0%, respectively. For the IMRT+CT group, such rates were 100%, 96.4%, and 96.4%, and 100%, 92.9%, and 92.9%, respectively. The two-year local/regional control rate and distant metastasis-free survivals in the IMRT+CT group were higher than those in the IMRT group (P<0.05). Most patients had grade 1 to grade 2 acute radiation toxicities and grade 0 to grade 1 late radiation toxicities (P>0.05). No patient showed a grade 4 acute or late toxicity. The blood and gastrointestinal toxicity rates were high in the IMRT+CT group (P<0.05). Conclusion:The IMRT+CT treatment has potential advantages over the IMRT in the treatment of local/regional advanced NPC patients in terms of local/regional control and overall survival. The blood and gastrointestinal toxicity rates in the IMRT+CT group were higher than in the IMRT group but still within a tolerable range.

A UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method was used to determinate the main active fractions gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, myricetrin, hyperoside and quercitrin in Polygonum capitatum extracts by in situ intestinal perfusion models; the absorption rate constants and cumulative penetration rate of absorption were calculated. The effect of different drug concentrations, different intestine segments, bile and P-gp inhibitors on the absorption mechanism of Gallic acid and other compositions in P. capitatum extracts. The experimental results showed that gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, myricetrin and quercitrin were observed saturated at high concentration (P < 0.05). Bile had significant inhibition effect on protocatechuic acid absorption and had promotion effect on myricetrin and hyperoside absorption (P < 0.05). P-gp inhibitor verapamil could significantly enhance the absorption of Protocatechuic acid (P < 0.05). The overall trend for absorption of various compositions was that small intestine > colon. This indicated that the absorption mechanism of P. capitatum extracts in rat intestine was in line with fist-order kinetics characteristics. The composition could be absorbed in all of the different intestinal segments, and the absorption was mainly concentrated in small intestine. The protocatechuic acid may be the substrate of P-gp.

Objective To evaluate the b value of diffusion-weighted(DW)MRI in distinguishing between benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods Three diffusion-weighted sequences were implemented with 500,1000 and 2000 s/mm~2 b values respectively on 95 breast lesions in 83 patients.All lesions were confirmed by pathology.The apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values and signal intensity (SI)were recorded and compared in different lesions(breast cancer,benign lesion,cyst and normal beast tissue)with the same b value and the same lesions with the different b values.Results(1)The mean ADC value and SI of breast cancer were 1.375?0.378 and 839.713?360.493 respectively with b= 500 s/mm~2,1.176?0.311 and 459.314?229.609 with b=1000 s/mm~2,0.824?0.198 and 243.825? 110.616 with b=2000 s/mm~2.The differences in the mean ADC value were significant between two type lesions(cancer and benign lesion,cancer and cyst,cancer and normal breast tissue)with b values of 500 s/mm~2 and 1000 s/mm~2.But the significant differenee was only seen between cancer and benign lesions when b value was 2000 s/mm~2.(2)The one-side upper limits of 95% confidence interval of mean ADCs were adopted as the point to separate the malignant from the benign lesions,the sensitivity was 70.92%, 70.73% and 69.77%,the specificity was 77.19%,75.70% and 54.76%,the accuracy was 77.12%, 74.32% and 62.35% respectively with b values of 500 s/mm~2,1000 s/mm~2 and 2000 s/mm~2.The areas under ROC eurves were Az_(500)=0.775?0.046(P0.05).Conclusion DWI MRI is useful for the differential diagnosis of breast lesions with b values of 500 s/mm~2 and 1000 s/mm~2.

AIM: To investigate the mechanism of Delphinidin(Dp)in protecting retinal against light induced oxidative damage.

METHODS: All 661W photosensitive cells were treated with 2 000Lx light(48h)and/or different concentrations of Dp(5, 10, 20μmol/L, 24h). Cell activity, intracellular LDH activity, TBARS content and antioxidant enzymes(SOD, GSH-Px, GST)activity were determined respectively. After the healthy SD rats were treated with 3 000 Lx light(24h)and/or Dp \〖100mg/(kg·d)for 4wk\〗, then changes in retinal tissue structure were observed and fluctuations in oxidative stress index(SOD, GSH-Px, GST)were determined.

RESULTS: The results of in vitro experiments showed that the cell activity was significantly decreased after irradiation, the LDH activity and TBARS content were increased, and the activity of antioxidant enzyme system were decreased. However, Dp treatment could increase cell viability, decrease LDH activity and TBARS content, and increase the activity of antioxidant enzyme system. In vivo experiments showed that Dp can protect the structural integrity of retina, reduce the content of TBARS in retinal tissue, and increase the activity of SOD, GSH-Px and GST.

CONCLUSION: Dp may protect retinal against Photochemical factors -induced oxidative damage by regulating the oxidation-antioxidant system.
