Objective To study the incidence of PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression in astrocytoma and show the relationship between PTEN, p53 expression and the proliferation activity. Methods The surgical specimens from 68 brain astrocytoma patients were analysed to detect PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression with immunohistochemical method. Results The incidence of PTEN, p53 and Ki-67 expression was 54.4 %,45.6 % and 48.5 % respectively in astrocytoma. With the grade of astrocytoma increasing the levels of PTEN protein decreased, on the other hand the levels of p53, Ki-67 increased. There was a negative correlation between PTEN expression and grade of astrocytoma while there was a positive correlation between p53, Ki-67 expression and grade of astrocytoma by using the Spearman Correlation test to analyse the data. The incidence of Ki-67 positive expression was 24.3 % in 37 cases exhibiting PTEN positive staining, whereas the incidence of Ki-67 positive expression was 77.4 % in 31 cases exhibiting PTEN negative staining. In statistics, there was an inverse correlation between PTEN and Ki-67 expression. Conclusion There is an inverse correlation between histopathological grades of astrocytoma and PTEN expression. A positive correlation is found between p53, Ki-67 expression and histopathological grades of astrocytoma. PTEN can inhibit tumor cell proliferation in astrocytoma.

Objective To observe rosiglitazone(RSG) combined with insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes pa-tients with tuberculosis.

Objective To observe hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition and investigate the role of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in the process. Methods Pulmonary arterial cells improved by adherence method were cultured in normoxia (containing 21%O2,5%CO2 and 74%N2) or hypoxia (containing 1%O2,5%CO2 and 94%N2) for 1,4,or 7 days,respectively. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition was confirmed with morphological observation and expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) by immunocytochemistry. Expression of TGF-β1 was evaluated by RT-PCR and Western blot,and α-SMA by Western blot. Results Hypoxia-induced paving-stone-like pulmonary arterial endothelial cells transdifferentiating to polygonal cells with high-expression of α-SMA. TGF-β1 expression was increased significantly after 7 days of hypoxia. TGF-β1 stimulating alone increasedα-SMA expression of pulmonary arterial en-dothelial cells;while,SD-208,inhibitor of TGF-β1,abolished the above effect. Conclusion Hypoxia can induce endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. And TGF-β1 plays an important role in the process.

Objective To research ischemic postconditioning on heart function after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion(I/R),and the protective mechanisms. Methods Thirty-two rats were divided into four groups:I/R group ( n = 8 ) , ischemic postconditioning group (n=8),myocardial ischemic postconditioning+ NSC-74859 (STAT3 inhibitor) group(n=8),and control group(n=8). Establish a model of rat to observe changes of the heart rate,LVSP,+dp/dtmax,-dp/dtmax,coronary flow and myocardial enzyme spectrum in each group un-der different conditions. Results Compared with ischemia-reperfusion group,heart rate of the reperfusion period,CK and LDH of coronary ef-fluent in the ischemic postconditioning group were obviously lower,while left ventricular systolic pressure,change of intraventricular pressure, and coronary effluent volume increased obviously. And after inhibition of STAT3 expression,this protective effect decreased significantly. Con-clusion Ischemic postconditioning can provide potent cardioprotective effect in which STAT3 mediates the cardioprotective effects.
