Objective: To investigate the biological significance of the expressions of CDC25A and CDC25B and their relation to cell apoptosis and proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: The expressions of CDC25A and CDC25B were examined by SP immunohistochemical stain (IHC) in 52 cases of esophageal carcinoma specimens, 25 cases of dysplasia and 24 cases of normal tissues. The apoptotic ratio, proliferation index (PI), the expression of CDC25A and CDC25B protein were determined by FCM in 30 cases with esophageal carcinoma and 5 cases of normal tissues. Results: The positive expression rates of CDC25A (50%) and CDC25B (48.1%) in esophageal carcinoma were significantly higher than those in dysplasia(16%) and normal tissues (0%) (P < 0.01); the expressions of CDC25A and CDC25B were correlated with differentiation degree and invasion depth of tumor cells, and CDC25A was related with lymph node metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The PI was significantly higher in nuclear membrane protein CDC25A-positive group than that in nuclear membrane protein CDC25A-negative group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: CDC25A is involved in the carcinogenesis and progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and has the potential to become a new biological marker to predict the carcinogenesis and prognosis of esophageal carcinoma; CDC25B might play a role in the early phase of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The CDC25A protein in the nuclear membrane might contribute to cell proliferation.

OBJECTIVE: To construct a plant effective expression vector driven by a fruit specific promoter for the expression of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), to further improve the expression of exogenous gene in plant, and to prepare for the development of an effective anti-hepatitis vaccine. METHODS: Tomato fruit-specific promoters' gene 2A12 and E8 were respectively introduced to pBPFOmega7 to form pB2A12 and pBE8. The DNA fragment containing HBsAg-s gene from plasmid YEP-HBs was inserted respectively into pB2A12 and pBE8 to form pB2A12-HBs and pBE8-HBs. The fragment containing "p35S+2A12+Omega+HBsAg-s+Tnos" of the pB2A12-HBs was sub-cloned into plasmid pCAMBIA1301 to yield the reconstructed plant binary expression plasmid pCAM2A12-HBs, and the fragment containing "p35S+E8+Omega+HBsAg-s+Tnos" of the pBE8-HBs was sub-cloned into plasmid pCAMBIA1301 to yield the plasmid pCAME8-HBs. The inserted gene HBsAg and fruit-specific promoters in the reconstructed plant binary expression vectors were confirmed by sequencing. Then, pCAM2A12-HBs and pCAME8-HBs were directly introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105. RESULTS: Digestion with restriction enzymes proved that all recombinant vectors had the inserts with expected length of the target fragments, and the sequencing results were confirmed correct. CONCLUSION: In this study, plant expression vector containing HBsAg gene driven by fruit specific promoter and CaMV35s promoter was successfully constructed.

Objective To explore the relationship between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C ＞ T and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL).Methods All patients were recruited from the outpatient department of Obstetrics/Gynaecology & Genetics of Hangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2013 to May 2014.A case-control study was performed.According to the stochastic indicator method,there were 125 subjects with a history of ≥2 times URPL as the case group,and 905 healthy parous women with no history of URPL as the control group.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the distributions of the polymorphisms of MTHFR 677C ＞ T,and the results were validated using oligo-chip and direct sequencing.Results The allele and genotype frequencies of MTHFR were 60.0％ for C,40.0％ for T,32.0％ for CC,56.0％ for CT,and 12.0％ for TT in the case group and 67.4％ for C,32.6％ for T,41.4％ for CC,52.0％ for CT,and 6.6％ for TT in the control group,respectively.The prevalence of allele T was significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (OR =1.379,95％ CI =1.051-1.808,P =0.020),the frequency of genotype TT was also significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (OR =2.344,95％ CI =1.220-4.503,P =0.009).Conclusion The fertile women with MTHFR 677T allele and 677TT genotype may be susceptibility to URPL in a Chinese Han population from the Hangzhou area.

Methods:Clinical pharmacists participated in the therapy for an ovarian cancer patient with cirrhosis,and provided a rational and individualized therapeutic regimen through the drug experience of clinical pharmacists as well as the relevant medical guides and literatures. Results:The therapeutic efficacy was increased by the participation of clinical pharmacists in the therapy,the potential risk of the chemotherapy was avoided and the security of medication was assured. Conclusion:The participation of clinical pharmacists in therapeutic practice can improve the normalization of pharmacotherapy for ovarian cancer patients with cirrhosis,which also can provide ideas and methods for treating the similar patients.

Objective To discuss the characteristics,diagnosis,mechanism and the prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) induced by accessory pathway (AP).Methods The clinical,electrophysiological and echocardiographic characteristics in four cases,who were diagnosed as AP-induced DCM in the Department of Pediatric Cardiology of Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from Mar.2011 to Aug.2012,were analyzed before and after ablation.Results The electrocardiograms of the 4 patients all indicated type B ventricular preexcitation.The locations of the APs were the right-sided anteroseptum and the free wall.Dyschronous contractions between posterior wall of left ventricle and interventricular septum were demonstrated by M-Mode echo.The basal segments of the interventricular septum turned thin and moved similar to an aneurysm,with typical bulging during end-systole,which was observed in all cases by two-dimension echo.Dyschronous left ventricular contraction was shown by speckle tracing technique.All patients received successful radio frequency current ablations.Their physical activities and growth improved greatly in the 4 cases.The echocardiographic data demonstrated that their left ventricular contraction recovered to synchrony shortly after the ablation,left ventricular ejection fraction recovered to normal and left ventricular end diastolic diameter decreased to almost normal gradually during the follow-up.Conclusions Overt right-sided APs localized in anteroseptum or free wall may have adverse effects on ventricular wall motion and left ventricular function.They can even result in DCM.Dyssynchronous ventricular contraction induced by right-sided overt accessory pathway may be the vital mechanism.AP-induced DCM is an indication for ablation with good prognosis.

Objective To investigate the biological markers and their clinical significance in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of inlfammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children.Methods The study had 22 cases of IBD including 6 cases of ulcerative colitis (UC) and 16 cases of Crohn’s Disease (CD). Twenty-four children without IBD were selected as controls. The serum perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (pNACA) was measured by indirect immune lfuorescence method. The serum anti-saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody (ASCA) IgG and IgA, anti-B mannose glycoside antibody (AMCA) IgG, anti-B glycoside sugar shell antibody (ACCA) IgA, Anti-bacterial lfagellin antibody (Anti-cBir1) IgG, and the fecal calprotectin (FC) were determined by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The positive rate of serum pANCA was 100% in 6 cases of UC while it was negative in CD cases and control, and there was significant difference among three groups (P

AIM: To investigate the effect of testosterone with varied concentrations on the fibr inolysis activity of HUVEC and its mechanism. METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cul tured as recommended. After confluence, the cultures were treated with testoster one(3 ?10 -10, 3?10 -9, 3?10 -8,3?10 -6, 3?10 -5 m ol/L) , and the control confluent cells were cultured in the same medium witho ut steroid. MTT experiment was repeated for 72 hours to investigate each groups' cell proliferation. The tPA and PAI-1 antigen levels were assayed with ELISA K its. Then with HUVEC incubated in androgen receptor antagonist (flutamide) 3 hou rs previously, the experiment was repeated. RESULTS: Testosterone at physiologic or lower concentrations (3 ?10 -10 to 3?10 -8 mol/L ) stimulated the secretion of tPA by HUVEC (P
