Tumor 2011;31(12):1122-1126
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a major non-transmembrane protein tyrosinephosphatase and plays an important role in signaling pathway. PTP1B also acts as an essential regulatorin numerous physiological processes and it has a vital role in cell growth, differentiation, metabolism,migration, gene transcription and apoptosis through modulating intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation.Evidence has demonstrated that PTP1B is associated with tumor. Although many conflicting resultssuggested that PTP1B has two contradictory effects (supressing or promoting ) on tumor, the real effectdepends on the substrate involved and the cellular context. This review describes different mechanismsof PTP1B in tumorigenesis and progression in breast cancer, colon cancer, hepatic carcinoma, lymphoma,ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer and gastric cancer. These results further theunderstanding of PTP1B function and highlight the great prospective of PTP1B inhibitors in tumor therapy. Copyright© 2011 by TUMOR.

This study was aimed to investigate renal protective effects and mechanism of Gui-Zhi(GZ) decoction in hyperuricemic mice.Potassium oxonate was used to induce hyperuricemia mouse model.Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups,which were the blank control group,model group,allopurinol group (5 mg·kg-1) and GZ decoction group (900,1 799 and 3 598 mg·kg-1).Hematoxylin eosin staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of renal tissues in mice.Commercial assay kits were used to measure levels of uric acid (UA),creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in serum and urine,as well as the xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity in liver.Renal protein levels of urate transporter 1 (URAT1),glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9),ATP-binding cassette G member 2 (ABCG2),organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1),OCT2,organic cation/carnitine transporter 1 (OCTN1) and OCTN2 were detected by western blot.The results showed that compared with the model group,GZ decoction can obviously decrease serum levels of UA,Cr and BUN,increase urine levels of UA and Cr,resulting in the elevation of fractional excretion of UA in hyperuricemic mice.Additionally,GZ decoction obviously inhibited hepatic XOD activity in hyperuricemic mice.Furthermore,GZ decoction downregulated renal URAT1 and GLUT9 protein levels,upregulated renal ABCG2,as well as OCT1,OCT2,OCTN1 and OCTN2 protein levels in hyperuricemic mice.It was concluded that GZ decoction had hypouricemic and renal protective effects in hyperuricemic mice,which might be associated with the reduction of UA production via inhibiting hepatic XOD activity,promoting UA and other organic ion excretion via regulating renal organic ion transporter protein levels.

Objective To investigate the effect of the training scheme of microvascular anastomosis in different time courses. Methods A total of 31 neurosurgeons were trained with different training schemes of microvascular anastomosis with ultrashort time course (n = 9;4 h),medium time course (n =12;12 h),and long time course (n = 10,300 h)were selected respectively,including 22 neurosurgeons from the top three hospitals and 9 from other levels of hospitals. Before training,the average median time of working in a department of neurosurgery was 6 (range,0 to 19)years. After training,the trainees accepted the assessments,such as performing the rat common carotid artery end to end anastomosis under a surgical microscope. Their completion time,anastomosis quality score,and proportion of vascular patency after anastomosis were compared. The measurement data of normal distribution used the single factor analysis of variance. The skewed distribution used rank sum test. The comparison of count data used Fisher exact test. Results The trainees who participated in the ultrashort time course training,the time of completion of carotid end - end anastomosis was 78 ± 37 min,the anastomosis quality score was 8. 1 ± 2. 8,and 2 vessels were patent;the trainees who participated in the medium time course training,the anastomosis time was 69 ± 20 min,the anastomosis quality score was 15. 8 ± 6. 8,and 10 vessels were patent;the trainees who participated in the long time course training,the anastomosis time was 34 ± 7 min,the anastomosis quality score was 23. 5 ± 1. 3,and 10 vessels were patent. There were significant differences in the completion of anastomosis time among the 3 groups of trainees (F = 9. 50,P = 0. 001). The completion time of the long time course group was shorter than that of the medium time course group and the ultrashort time course group. There were significant differences. There were significant differences in the anastomosis quality score among the 3 groups (F = 26. 870,P = 0. 000). As for the number of the patent vessels,there were significant differences between the medium and long time course groups and the ultrashort time course group (P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion If the vascular anastomosis skills of the trainees achieve relative proficiency and stability,they need to choose the long time course training.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in the treatment of Neer three-part fractures of the proximal humerus in young adults. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of the 46 patients aged < 65 years with Neer three-part fracture of the proximal humerus from March 2010 to December 2016. MIPPO with locking proximal humerus plate ( LPHP ) was used in 23 of them who were 12 men and 11 women with an average age of 41. 6 ± 1. 2 years; open reduction and internal fixation ( ORIF ) with LPHP was used in the other 23 patients who were 14 men and 9 women with an average age of 42. 2 ± 1. 6 years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleed-ing, fracture healing time and shoulder function by Neer scoring at the last follow-up. Results The average follow-up ( 13. 4 ± 1. 2 months ) for the MIPPO groups was not statistically different from that for the ORIF group ( 14. 2 ± 2. 4 months ) ( P > 0. 05 ) . The MIPPO group reported significantly shorter operation time ( 105 ± 15 min ) , significantly less intraoperative bleeding ( 140 ± 50 mL ) , significantly shorter fracture healing time ( 4. 2 ± 0. 6 months ) , and significantly higher shoulder Neer scores ( 88. 6 ± 3. 4 ) than the ORIF group ( 120 ± 20 min, 320 ± 40 mL, 5. 4 ± 1. 2 months, and 81. 6 ± 2. 2, respectively ) ( P <0. 05 ) . The complication rate ( 4. 3%, 1/23 ) for the MIPPO group was not significantly different from that for the ORIF group ( 17. 4%, 4/23 ) ( P >0. 05 ) . Conclusion MIPPO with LPHP may be obviously advantageous over ORIF with LPHP in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in young adults.

Objective:To analyze the genetic test results and ultrasonographic markers of 41 fetuses with short femurs and their relationship.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed 41 fetuses who were diagnosed with short femurs by ultrasound during 19-37 gestational weeks and underwent prenatal genetic examination at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2019. According to the results of genetic examination, these cases were divided into three groups after excluding three cases of variants of unknown significance: genetically normal group, chromosome variation (including chromosomal aneuploidy and pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variations) group, and gene mutation (including pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene mutations) group. According to the head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL), Z FL, FL/HC, FL/AC, ΔZ H-F and ΔZ H+A-2F for each fetus were calculated. One-way ANOVA and LSD- t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:(1) Among the 41 fetuses with short femurs, there were 28 in the genetically normal group, five in the chromosome variation group, three with chromosome variations of unknown significance and five in the gene mutation group. (2) In the genetically normal, chromosome variation and gene mutation groups, Z FL values were -2.78±0.77, -4.36±0.69 and -4.69±0.70; FL/HC ratios were 0.178±0.011, 0.170±0.010 and 0.131±0.022; FL/AC ratios were 0.197±0.013, 0.186±0.011 and 0.151±0.017; ΔZ H-F values were 2.49±1.09, 3.53±1.28 and 8.17±1.30; ΔZ H+A-2F values were 4.44±2.00, 6.78±2.20 and 14.28±1.26, respectively. The differences in Z FL values between the genetically normal group and the chromosome variation group as well as the gene mutation group were statistically significant (both P<0.05); so were the differences in FL/HC, FL/AC and ΔZ H-F values between the gene mutation group and the genetically normal group as well as the chromosome variation group (all P<0.05) and in any pairwise comparison of ΔZ H+A-2F among the three groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The genetic etiology of fetal short femurs is mainly related to chromosomal variations (including chromosomal aneuploidy and pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variations) and gene mutation. In fetuses with chromosome variation and gene mutation, the degree of the femoral development delay relative to the development of HC and AC is worse than that in the normal genetic results group.
