Background p16INK4a gene plays an important role during the aging and senility.So it was well known to be a leading gene associated with aging.Corneal endothelial cells(CECs) always get trapped in the G1 phase due to the lack of proliferative ability.Whether it is relative with cell senescence is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the expression ofp16INK4a gene and Bmi1 gene in human CECs from different aged donors ex vivo.Methods The corneal rims,the residual of corneal tissue preserved in DX solution after penetrating keratoplasty,was used in the present study.Parameters were recorded for the donor,including the age,death to preservation interval and preservation to surgery interval.Corneal endothelium survival rate and endothelial cell density were evaluated by trypan blue-alizarin red dying immediately after penetrating keratoplasty.Routine haematoxylin and eosin staining was also performed to proof the normal structure of the cornea.Sections of corneas from different aged donors were classified into ＜30 years group,30-50 years group and ＞50 years group and were immunostained to assess the expressions of p16INK4aprotein,Bmi1 protein and Ki67 protein in CECs.Total RNA was extracted from independent corneal sample for the evaluation of p16INK4a mRNA,Bmi1 mRNA and Ki67 mRNA expression in CECs by quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR).Results The endothelial cell density of each group was (3069 ±172),(2748±64),(2444 ±178)cells/mm2,respectively.Haematoxylin and eosin staining showed the normal structure of corneal epithelium,stroma and endothelium.qRT-PCR examination revealed an age-related increase in p16INK4a mRNA expression in the CECs(F =5.703,P =0.014) and a decrease in Bmi1 mRNA and Ki67 mRNA expression (F =3.950,P =0.042;F=548.500,P =0.000).The further comparison verified a significant elevation in the expression of p16INK4a mRNA in the CECs of the ＞50 years group compared with ＜30 years group and significant decline in Bmil mRNA and Ki67 mRNA the expression (P =0.006,0.013,0.000).Immunohistochemistry in situ confirmed the expression and nuclear localization of p16INK4a protein in CECs,and the expressing intensities of Bmi1 and Ki67 proteins in the elder donors were weaker than those of the younger donors.The immunofluorescence exhibited that the expressing intensity of p16INK4a protein in CECs of 58 years old donor was higher than that of 23 years old donor,showing a consistent result with that of qRT-PCR.Conclusions Expression of p16INK4a gene increases and that of Bmi1 gene decreases upon age.These results suggest that p16INK4a gene is associated with senescence of human CECs.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) are rare tumors with malignant potential.The pNENs could be classified into functional or nonfunctional according to associated clinical symptoms.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful for preoperative diagnosis of nonfunctional pNENs.The clinical data of 22 patients with nonfunctional pNENs who were admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2010 to February 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.Nonfunctional pNENs were characterized by moderate to marked,consistent or progressive enhancement with capsule-like enhancement on dynamic contrast MRI,which is very important for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pNENs.

Objective The K-ras gene plays a major role in the development , progression, and drug selection for the target treatment of colorectal cancer .The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of detecting K-ras mutation in colorectal cancer by high-resolution melting ( HRM) analysis and to investigate the relationship between K-ras mutation and the clinicopathological parame-ters of colorectal cancer. Methods We collected the tissue samples of colorectal cancer from 179 patients, detected the mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the K-ras gene, and analyzed the relationship between K-ras mutation and the clinicopathological parameters of the patients. Results In the 179 cases of colorectal cancer, K-ras mutation was found in 77 (43.02%), significantly higher in those aged ≥60 years than in those aged <60 years (55.17% vs 33.70%, P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant influence of age on K-ras mutation (OR=1.506, 95%CI:1.028-2.011, P<0.05). Conclusion HRM analysis is a rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive diagnostic tool for the detection of K-ras mutation, and K-ras mutation is associated with the age of colorectal cancer patients .

BACKGROUND:At present, isokinetic testing system has attracted more and more attentions in the evaluation of athlete muscle function, but its application in the detection of waist and abdomen muscle strength characteristics in juvenile male basketbal athletes is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To study the biomechanical characteristics of waist flexor and extensor muscles inoutstanding juvenile male basketbal athletes in order to provide the basis for waist and abdominal strength training, scientific selection and prevention of lumbar abdomen injury in basketbal sport. METHODS:Eighteen athletes from the Guangzhou Men’s Basketbal Team were subjected to the detection of muscle strength and work of waist flexor and extensor muscles at 60(°)/s and 180(°)/s using Cybex-Norm isokinetic test system. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At the same testing speed, the peak torque and relative peak torque of the extensor muscles were higher than those of the flexor muscles (P<0.01). The increase in the peak torque, relative peak torque and total work of the waist extensor and flexor muscles exhibited a reduced tendency with the increasing of testing speed (P<0.05);the peak torque and relative peak torque of the extensor muscles were decreased more significantly (P<0.01);the relative power of the waist extensor and flexor muscles were increased gradual y with the increasing of testing speed (P<0.01). These parameters were better in perimeter players than in post players. Under the isokinetic concentric contraction, the peak torque ratio of extensor to flexor muscles showed a decreasing trend with the increasing of testing speed and the waist flexor peak torque and extensor muscles flexion showed a decreasing trend, and the trunk stability was weakened. These findings indicate that the muscle strength of the extensor muscles was higher than that of the flexor muscles;the muscles strength of the waist flexor and extensor muscles was better in perimeter players than in post players. In isokinetic rapid movement, the muscle strength of the waist flexor and extensor muscles were reduced and the balance of the muscle strength of the waist flexor and extensor muscles was weakened, suggesting rapid strength training of the waist and abdominal core muscles should be strengthened in juvenile male basketbal athletes.

Objective To investigate the sensitivity of the real-time fluorescence PCR technique and the bacterial culture for detecting the colonization of group B Streptococcus(GBS)in late pregnant women.Methods 2 specimens were collected from preg-nant women genital tract-rectal secretions swabs,one specimen for conducting the bacterial culture and another for conducting the real-time PCR technique to detect genital GBS.The accuracy and rapidness were compared between the two methods.308 cases of pregnant women were divided into the GBS positive group and the GBS negative group according to the detection results of the real time real-time fluorescence PCR technique.The relation between the occurrence of premature rupture of membranes with GBS was investigated by the comparative analysis.Results Among 308 pregnant women with GBS detection,18 cases were positive by the ordinary bacterial culture with the positive rate of 5.8%(18/308),while 28 cases were positive by the real-time fluorescent PCR with the positive rate of 9.4%(29/308).In the GBS positive group detected by PCR,the premature rupture of membranes occurred in 9 cases with the positive rate of 31%,while in the GBS negative group detected by PCR,which occurred in 33 cases with the pos-itive rate of 11.83%.Conclusion This survey shows that the positive detection rate of the real-time fluorescent PCR technique is significantly higher than that of the bacterial culture method,the application of this detection technique for detecting GBS provides the basis for rapidly diagnosing GBS and conducting the prophylactic use of antibacterial drugs more accurately and more effectively.

Objective To observe the growth and the development of primordial spermatogenic cells by allografting Kun-ming neonatal mouse testes into athymic nude mice.Methods Neonatal mouse testes were grafted under the back skin of nude mice (n=29). Grafts were taken out at the post-grafting day 30-110 and observed on the growth and the appearance, the structure of seminiferous tubules as well as the development of spermatogenic cells and the stage of seminiferous epithelium.(Results) The graft growth in all 29 recipient animals was observed, and the mass of grafts was significantly increased from (0.73)?(0.05) mm in diameter and (5.67)?(0.72) mg in wet weight pre-grafting to (6.75)?(0.73) mm and (113.12)?(78.23) mg post-grafting, respectively. The structure of seminiferous (tubules) inside grafts was clearly seen under a light microscope. And the histological analysis (demons)-(trated) a complete spermatogenesis with all levels of spermatogenic cells including sperm and stage I-XII of the seminiferous epithelium could also be identified.Conclusion Neonatal mouse testes could continuously grow and develop under the back skin of castrated nude mice, which would therefore be a useful tool for investigations on the proliferative and developmental pattern of spermatogenic cells and the regulation mechanism of spermatogenesis.
