Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of p16 and p27kip1 in endometrial carcinoma. Methods 65 cases of endometrial carcinoma were examined by immunohistochemical method for p16 and p27kip1. Results The positive rates of p16 and p27kip1 was 47.7 % and 41.5 % respectively. Both the expression of p16 and the expression of p27kip1 were correlated with histologic differentiation. Conclusions p16 and p27kip1 may play important roles in the development of endometrial carcinoma. They were important in predicting the prognosis and directing the treatment of endometrial carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate happiness and the mental health of elderly who participate morning exercise in Wuxi area. Methods: 161 elderly who participated morning exercise and 111 elderly from urban area of Wuxi were investigated with Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH), Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90), and general health status questionnaire. Optimal Scaling was used to study the relationship between Happiness and affecting factors. Results: The average level of happiness of the morning exercises groups was higher than that of control. Factors having influence on mental health included interpersonal relationship, children satisfaction rating, and attitude to retirement, house condition.Conclusions: Elderly participating morning exercise have better mental health status.

Objective To investigate the telomerase activity and abnormality of p16 gene in liver metastatic tumors of colorectal carcinoma. Methods Telomerase activity was detected by a non isotopic PCR based TRAP assay (Telomeric repeat amplification protocol) and the homozygous deletions of p16 gene was detected by a semiquantitative multiple PCR in tissue samples from 24 liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma. Results Telomerase activity were observed in 19 (79 2%) out of the 24 colorectal carcinoma patients. There was no correlation hetween the telomerase activity, the number of metastasis, differentiation, liver fibrosis and HBsAg status of the patients. Homozygous deletions of p16 gene were found in 9 out of 24 (37 5%) patients, and homozygous deletions of p16 gene was significantly correlated with telomerase activity.Conclusion The abnormality in telomerase activity and homozygous deletions of p16 gene may be important for elucidating in liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the preventive and therapeutic effect of Keshu on acute alcoholism mice.METHODS:Acute alcoholism mice model was established,and randomly divided mice into model group and high,middle,low dosage of Keshu group;the tolerance time,lasting time and the concentration of alcohol in blood were compared among each group.RE-SULTS:Compared with the model group,the tolerance time has been prolonged,the lasting time has been shortened and the blood concentration of alcohol has been lowered in Keshu group.CONCLUSION:Keshu has an obvious preventive and thera-peutic effect on acute alcoholism,the preventive effect of which outweighs the therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate CT features of similar Hexheimer's reaction during initial treatment of active pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The similar Hexheimer's reaction in 44 patients diagnosed by clinic and follow-up CT scans were retrospectively reviewed by three radiologists. Results During initial treatment of active pulmonary tuberculosis, development of radiographic progression were observed in 57 foci, including 28 pulmonary lesions increased at the site of their original lesion or new opacities elsewhere, ipsilateral or contralateral to the original lesion or both, 10 lesions related to the pleura (pleural effusion, pleural tuberculoma), 15 lymphadeneetasis, 3 thymus reactions, and 1 cardiac pericardium thickening, respectively. These reactions appeared from the 20 days to 3. 5 months, then with continuation of the initial chemotherapy for 1.0-3.0 months, the radiographic response was excellent with the areas of progression and the original lesions demonstrating resolution or improvement. Conclusion The CT appearances of similar Hexheimer's reaction during initial treatment of active tuberculosis are specific to a certainty.

Objective To investigate the changes of PPARr mRNA and protein expressions in rats with ANP. Methods 36 rats were randomly divided into sham group and ANP group. The rats were sacrificed 3 h, 6 h,12 h after ANP induction, the levels of serum amylase were measured, the pancreatic pathological changes were determined and the expressions of pancreatic PPARr mRNA and protein was examined by RT- PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results In ANP group, the level of serum amylase at 6h was (7170.83± 1635.59) U/L, the scores of pathological changes were 6.67±1.03 and 13.00±2.36, which were much higher than those of sham group (P<0.01) ; the PPARr mRNA expression was 0.18±0.05, and there were no obvious differences compared with that of sham group (0.22±0.03 ) ; PPARr protein expression was 4.17 ±0.98, which was significantly higher than that of sham group (1.83±0.71, P<0.05). Conclusions Inflammatory injury resulted in increased deactivation of pancreatic acinar PPARr, meanwhile PPARr gene expression was inhibited by feedback.

Objective To investigate the mechanism that bFGF promotes the regeneration of injured optic nerve and induces dedifferentiation of glial cells in it. Methods Fifty-five adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups as normal control group, injury group and bFGF group. At day 7 post operation, optic nerves from injury group and bFGF group were detected by gene chip and real-time PCR. At day 7, 14 post operation, optic nerves were harvested and detected by HE staining and immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the injury group, there were 645 genes expression up-regulated and 458 genes down-regulated including genes related neural stem cell or precursor cell neural development, proliferation, apoptosis, chromatin configuration, transcription regulation, signal transduction, neural growth and so on in the bFGF group. There were bigger nuclei, more cells, more immunoreactivity of nestin, extracellular signal-regulated kinase(Erk1/2), glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP), and myelin basic protein(MBP) in the distal optic nerves and more immunoreactivity of neurofilament(NF) in the proximal optic nerves in the bFGF group than that in the injury group.Conclusion bFGF could promote the proliferation of neuroglia cells, dedifferentiation of neural glias and improve the microenvironment to favour the regeneration of injured optic nerve.

Objective To investigate the dedifferentiation of neuroglial cells and its induction after optic nerve injury. Methods Adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups the normal control group,the injury group,the transplantation group and the microcrush and transplantation group.Optic nerves were harvested at days 3,7,14 and 28 after the operation.HE staining was used to count the number of neuroglial cells.Immunohistochemistry,Western blotting and in situ hybridization histochemistry were employed together with computerized image analysis to evaluate the expressions of Nestin,GFAP,MBP,NF,BDNF,Nogo-A and Nogo-A mRNA.Immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the co-expression of Nestin and GFAP or Nestin and MBP. Results The number of cells only increased at day 7 after the nerve injury, the expressions of Nestin,MBP,Nogo-A and Nogo-A mRNA were up-regulated,the expressions of GFAP,NF and BDNF were down-regulated,and some Nestin-GFAP positive cells and a few of Nestin-MBP positive cells were detected in the injury group.Compared with the injury group,the number of cells was increased sometime after the nerve injury;the expressions of Nestin,GFAP,BDNF and NF were up-regulated,the expressions of MBP,Nogo-A and Nogo-A mRNA were down-regulated,and the number of Nestin-GFAP positive cells increased in the transplantation group and the microcrush and transplantation group.Conclusion After optic nerve injury,some astrocytes undergo dedifferentiation while the macroglial cells display a gene expression pattern that is unfavorable for nerve regeneration.Pre-degenerated peripheral nerves could enhance the dedifferentiation of astrocytes and induce the gene expression pattern of macroglial cells that is favorable for nerve regeneration.
