Objective Studies on the changes of gastrin and SS immunoreactive cells in pancreatic islets during experimental gastric ulcer. Methods The immunohistochemical ABC technique was used. Results The gastrin immunoreactive cells were located in most of the pancreatic islet. The mumber of G cells in experimental gastric ulcer group were higher than that of control group on the 4th and 10th day after operation.The D cells raised on the 10th day.Conclusion The present work provides the evidence that the G and D cells of pancreatic islets might be involed in the self-healing process of the experimental gastric ulcer by endocrine or paracrine regulation.

Forty-five male mice were used and divided into three groups: i.e. experimental gastric ulcer group, saline control group and normal control group. After experimental gastric ulcer was induced, the mice of three groups received intraperitoneal injection of colchicine and were sacrificed 3h later at 3, 6, 9 and 20 days, respectively. The antral mucosa was removed and processed by Sternberger's immunocytochemical PAP method to show G cells and counterstained with hematoxylin. In normal control group, the mitotic index of the antral mucosal epithelial and glandular cells was 5.93?1.23; the percentage of G cells was 2.76?0.45; the mitotic index I of G cells (the number of the mitotic G cells per 100 G cells) was 0.85?0.18; and the mitotic index II of G cells (the number of mitotic figures of the G cells per 100 antral epithelial, glandular and G cells) was 0.02?0.01. The mitotic index of the antral mucosal epithelial and glandular cells, the percentage and the mitotic index II of G cells on 6th, 9th and 20th days in experimental gastric ulcer group was raised and showed highly significant statistical difference from that of the control group, respectively. The mitotic index I of G cells was raised on 9th day in the experimental gastric ulcer group and significant difference between experimental gastric ulcer group and the control group was found. It also revealed a significant diference in the experimental gastric ulcer group as compared with saline control group on 20th day. The percentage of G cells on 6th day was most high, but the peak of mitotic number of G cells appeared on 9th day in the experimental gastric ulcer group. The distribution of G cells was found upward in the glands near the ulcer on 3rd and 6th day than in normal control. These findings suggest that the number, origin, distribution and shape of the G cells in the pyloric glands exhibited dynamic changes with the passage of time. The results suggested that the G cells might participate in the regulation of regeneration of antral mucosa during experimental gastric ulcer.

Objective To investigate the relevance between protein expression and methylation of MG-MT and hMSH2 in glioma patimts.Methods Immunohistochemical and methylation specific PCR were adopted respectively to test on 275 cases of glioma patients for the protein expression and methylation situation of MGMT and hMSH2.Results The negative protein expression rate of MGMT and hMSH 2 in the tissue of brain golima were 47.2% and 62.5% respectively;the occurrence of methylation in gene promoter region were accordingly 41.8% and 22.4%.Statistical analysis revealed that MGMT promoter methylation in peripheral blood gene groups was related with the protein negative expression of tumor tissue (P<0.05),while there was no relationship between the protein expression of hMSH2 and its gene promoter methylation(P>0.05).Conclusion The meth-ylation of MGMT is a common molecular situation in the generation of brain glioma ,which may be connected with that of tumor.However,hMSH2 promoter methylation might not the main reason for inactivation of hMSH 2 pro-tein,there may be other important factors affecting its expression .

Purpose To observe the impact of sleep deprivation (SD) for 24 hours on human brain regional homogeneity (ReHo) by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),and briefly discuss the intervening effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on ReHo after SD.Material and Methods Sixteen healthy individuals were enrolled,and self-controlled study were adopted.Resting-state fMRI scans were performed in wakefulness,after SD,and after tDCS (true or placebo stimuli).The ReHo analysis approach was employed to calculate the ReHo values of whole brain in different states.The differences between before and after SD,and between true and false tDCS after SD,were analyzed.Results Compared with wakefulness,SD mainly enhanced ReHo in brain regions of left precentral gyrus,right precentral gyrus,bilateral temporal lobe and thalamus,but decreased ReHo in brain regions of right precuneus,left superior occipital gyrus,limbic lobe and bilateral angular gyrus,superior frontal gyrus,middle frontal gyrus.Compared with placebo stimuli,the true tDCS enhanced ReHo in brain regions of bilateral precuneus,angular gyrus and right forehead,superior middle gyrus,but decreased ReHo in brain regions of the medial side of left frontal lobe,right precentral gyrus,parahippocampal gyrus,substantia nigra and bilateral temporal lobe,pons and so on.Conclusion SD can cause ReHo change in a large number of brain regions.The tDCS on the prefrontal cortex improves the brain regions with ReHo reduction caused by SD.The improved brain regions mainly include bilateral precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex.Therefore,tDCS on the prefrontal cortex can improve brain dysfunction caused by SD.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between serum chemokine CXCL13 (CXCL-13), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and liver function damage and hepatitis B virus replication in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods: Eighty patients with CHB who were treated in Jiyuan People′s Hospital of Henan Province from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected as the study subjects. According to the severity of the disease, the patients were divided into mild group (34 cases), moderate group (26 cases) and severe group (20 cases). Eighty healthy people in the same period were selected as control group, and the serum levels of CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 were detected and compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relation between CXCL-13, IL-1β, IL-6 and ALT, AST, HBV-DNA. Results: The levels of ALT, AST, serum CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 in patients with CHB were significantly higher than those in control group (P=0.000 for all comparisons); the levels of ALT, AST, HBV DNA and serum CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 in patients with CHB were significantly higher than those in control group (P=0.000 for all the comparisons). Serum CXCL-13, IL-1β, IL-6 were positively correlated with ALT and AST (P=0.000, P=0.006, P=0.003, P=0.000, P=0.000, P=0.001), CXCL-13 level was positively correlated with HBV DNA (P=0.014), IL-1β and IL-6 were not correlated with HBV DNA. There were positive correlations among CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 (P=0.012, P=0.019, P=0.008). Conclusions Serum CXCL-13 and IL-1β, IL-6 were closely related to the degree of liver function damage and disease progression in CHB patients. The level of CXCL-13 is positively correlated with the amount of hepatitis B virus. Therefore, close monitoring of serum CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 in CHB patients is of clinical reference value for judging the patient′s condition.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to examine the expression of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)/B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) signal pathway and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and provide references for the early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of OSCC.

METHODSA total of 55 cases of OSCC and 10 cases of paracan- cerous mucosa were examined in this study. Their expressions of GSK-3β, NF-κB and Bcl-2 were detected using the SP me- thod immunohistochemistry. The correlation between their expression in OSCC and the clinical and pathological peculiarity of OSCC was analyzed.

RESULTSThe positive expression of GSK-3β, NF-κB, and Bcl-2 in OSCC were significantly higher than that in paracancerous mucosa (P < 0.01). The expression of GSK-3β, NF-κB, and Bcl-2 had no obvious relationship with patient's age, sex, and clinical stages of the disease (P > 0.05). The expression of Bcl-2 was significantly correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (P < 0.05), whereas the expression of GSK-3β and NF-κB in OSCC had no obvious relation- ship with the degree of tumor differentiation (P > 0.05). Strong positive correlations were observed among the expressions of GSK-3β, NF-κB, and Bcl-2 (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe positive expression of GSK-3β, NF-κB, and Bcl-2 in OSCC are sig- nificantly higher than that in paracancerous mucosa. Detecting GSK-3β, NF-κB, and Bcl-2 in OSCC may have implications in the early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of OSCC.
