Familial pancreatic cancer is a known hereditary cancer syndrome with autosomal dominant inheritance and accounts for about 3% of all pancreatic cancers. With the development of molecular genetics,several genes have been identified related with the familial pancreatic cancer, including breast cancer susceptibility gene 2, Palladin, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A, et al. In particular, mutations in some of these genes have been defined as the hereditary basis of particular cancer syndromes. Molecular genetics surveillance for high risk populace can lead to the diagnosis of asymptomatic, early-stage pancreatic cancer or precancerous lesions.

The proto-oncogene, c-kit gene, widely expresses on the mast cell, melanoeyte, haemopoietic stem cell, intestinal cell of cajal and germoeyte. Recent researches have revealed the relationship between the e-kit gene and the carcinogenesis, proliferation, infiltration and metastasis of some malignant tumor. This article aimed to make a review of its biological function, lab and clinical research advancement in the digestive tract tumor.

Objective To investigate the role of P21 protein and survivin on the cell apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) induced by mevastatin. Methods The inhibitory effect of mevastatin on A549 and NCI-H520 cell line was evaluated by MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis induction were determined with flow cytometer and transmission electron microscope. The expression of p21 protein was assessed with flow cytometer. The mRNA expression of p21 and survivin was assessed with RT-PCR. Results Flow cytometry showed that mevastatin induced G_0/G_1 cell arrest in NSCLC cell lines. The results indicated that mevastatin caused apoptosis in concentration-dependent manner. Mevastatin produced no change in expression of P21 mRNA and total P21 protein. Concomitantly, P21 protein localized on cellular membrane was decreased. It was also found that mevastatin suppressed the expression of survivin mRNA in NSCLC cell lines. All these effects were reversed by mevalonate. Conclusions Mevastatin inhibited the proliferation of NSCLC cell lines. Mevastatin exerts growth inhibitory effect and induces apoptosis effect by inhibiting mevalonate synthesis. Its mechanisms might involve blockade of the isoprenylation of p21 protein and down-regulation of the expression of survivin mRNA.

6 hours). The APACHE Ⅱ and POSSUM scoring system during perioperative period was in positive correlation with postoperative morbidity and mortality. Conclusions Pancreatoduodenectomy for the treatment of periampullary carcinomas is with high risks. Postoperative mortality and morbidity were in close correlation with the risk factors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the action mechanism of CD20 lymphocyte infiltration in the renal allograft biopsy with chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN).MethodsCAN cases confirmed by renal biopsy within 2 years after renal transplantation served as study subjects. By using immunohistochemistry,the deposition of C4d and the CD20-positive lymphocytes infiltration in the renal grafts were examined.The clinical follow-up data were analyzed.ResultsForty-four cases of CAN were enrolled in the study, including 13 cases (29.5％ ) of CD20-positive lymphocytes infiltration,and 31cases (70.5％ )of CD20-negative lymphocytes infiltration. CD20-positive lymphocytes in biopsy showed nodular and scattered lymphocytes infiltration.There were 5 (26.3％)cases of CAN Ⅰ,4 cases (25.0％) of CAN Ⅱ,and 4 (44.4％) of CAN Ⅲ in CD20-positive group.There was no statistically significant difference between the only CAN group and CAN with AR group in CD20-positive rate.Immunohistochemical staining showed there were 12 cases (27.3％) with C4d linear deposition in peritubular capillary endothelial cells (PTC).C4d positive rate had no significant difference among the CAN classifications. There was no significant relationship between C4d deposition and CD20-positive lymphocytic infiltration.The average serum creatinine in CD20-negtive group and CD20-posigtive group was 140.8 ± 22.0 and 183.5 ± 25.5μmol/L before biopsy,and 165.6 ± 37.6 and 242.2 ± 59.1 μmol/L one year after biopsy.The average serum creatinine level in CD20-positive group was higher than in CD20-negtive group before and after biopsy.ConclusionProgressive chronic humoral immunity is high risk in the process of CAN. The CD20-positive lymphocyte infiltration has no relevance with CAN grade and C4d deposition in PTC,but is associated with circulating antibody PRA and allograft long-term outcome. Pathogenetic mechanism may not contribute to chronic humoral immune,but B cells presenting donor antigens,are recognized and activated by T cells as antigen-presenting cells.

BACKGROUND: Therapist-assisted treadmill training is good gait training, but it consumes great physical strength of therapists, and requires many persons. Clinical application was limited. Robot-assisted treadmill training has been paid great attention. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the role of robot in recovery of walking after spinal cord injury (SCI) and its influence on muscle activation patterns and kinematic patterns.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Although there is currently no evidence that robot-assisted gait training improves walking function more than other locomotor training strategies. Several advantages of robotic devices are obvious for applications targeting gait rehabilitation. Robotic devices are passive in nature and focus primarily on repeated movements of the limbs via fixed kinematic trajectories. These types of training abolish the cycle-to-cycle variation in the kinematics and the sensorimotor pathways. They also cannot sensitively monitor important characteristics of the training as therapists do. Therapists need to know the robot devices, understand how to change parameters to continuously challenge the subjects, and are able to assess when the workload is inappropriate for the subject's abilities so that they can maximize voluntary locomotor performance during assisted stepping to augment the recovery of functional walking.

Objective To investigate mechanism of cyclooxygenase-2 ( COX-2) in bone loss in a postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) rat mode with ovarietomy (OVX).Methods Forty female Sprague Dawley adult rats at age of 3 months were randomly divided into 4 groups,10 in each group,including shamoperated (sham) group,OVX group,OVX treated with nilesteriol (OVX + E) group and OVX treated with aspirin ( OVX + P) group.All rats in OVX,OVX + E and OVX + P groups underwent ovarietomy under abdominal anesthesia with 10％ chloral hydrate.Rats in sham group were only taken with fat tissue with same weight under bilateral ovary.After surgery,penicillin was administered to prevent infection.At day 7 after surgery,agents were given by intragastric administration for 12 weeks.Nilestriol at 1.0 mg/kg was used in OVX + E group once a week,aspirin at 45 mg · kg - 1 · d- 1 was used in OVX + P group once a day.Saline with same volume was used in rats in sham and OVX groups.All agents were administered one time per day.Dose of agents were adjusted by weight per week.At end of study,bone mineral density (BMD) of right femurs and lumbar vertebrae 3 -5 (L3-5) were measured.Morphology of bone was detected by hematoxylineosin,and expression of COX-2 was determined by immunohistochemistry staining.Results ( 1 ) BMD:BMD of right femur and L3-5 was (0.209 ±0.010) g/cm2 and (0.230 ±0.012) g/cm2 in sham group and (0.181 ±0.008) g/cm2 and (0.201 ± 0.016) g/cm2 in OVX group,which reached statistical difference (P＜0.01).BMD of right femur and L3-5 was (0.203 ±0.009) g/cm2 and (0.224 ±0.028) g/cm2 in OVX + E group and (0.200 ± 0.011 ) g/cm2 and (0.204 ± 0.003 ) g/cm2 in OVX + P group,which were all higher than those in OVX group (P ＜0.01,P ＜0.05).However,there was no statistical difference in BMD between OVX + E and OVX + P group ( P ＞ 0.05).(2) Morphology of bone:bone trabeculae became fewer and degenerated in OVX group.However,bone trabeculae were regular and dense in OVX + P group and OVX + E group,which were similar to those in sham group.(3) Expression of COX-2:cells with COX-2 positive and expression of COX-2 around bone trabeculae in OVX group were more than those in sham,OVX + E and OVX + P group.Conclusion COX-2 plays an important role in PMOP.Aspirin could prevent bone loss by decreasing COX-2 expression in OVX rats.
