Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in gastric cancer tissues.Methods The expressive level of MMP-9 in normal gastric mucosa tissues,para-carcinoma tissues,and cancer tissues were determined with histochemistry streptavidin-perosidase (SP) methods.The relationship of MMP-9 and gastric cancer tissue were analyzed.Results The positive expression rate of MMP-9 in the gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosa tissues and para-carcinoma tissues (x2 =86.66,P ＜0.01).The positive expression rate of MMP-9 in gastric cancer tissues was related to differentiated degree of cancer tissues,tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage,infiltration degree,and lymphatic metastasis (x2 =7.76,P ＜ 0.05; x2 =12.94,54.37,11.16,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions MMP-9 probably participates in the occurrence and development of a gastric cancer,and is related to its invasion and metastasis.

Platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF), as an important cytokine, can induce mesangial cell proliferation and accumulate extracellular matrix. The proliferation of the mesangial cells correlate with the cell cycle regulation. The different isoform of PDGF works on mesangial cells to produce different effects. This review summarizes the relevant mechanism about PDGF inducing proliferation of mesangial cells.

Objective To study the effects of protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor staurosporine (STS) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human cholangiocarcinoma QBC-939 cells and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods CCK-8 was used to detect the effects of PKC inhibitor STS on the proliferation of human cholangiocarcinoma QBC-939 cells. The effects of STS on the ultrastructural characteristics of QBC-939 cells were observed by routine transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The apoptosis rate and the cell cycle distribution of QBC-939 cells were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of cyclin B1,Cdk1 and p-Cdk1 in QBC-939 cells was detected by Western blotting. Results STS could significantly inhibit the proliferation of QBC-939 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P <0. 05) and the half inhibitory concentration ( IC50 ) of QBC-939 cells at 24th and 48th h was 334 nmol·L-1 and 118 nmol · L-1 , respectively. TEM observed that STS could induce typical apoptotic bodies and super-microstructural changes of QBC-939 cells. By Annexin V-FITC/ PI double labeling flow cytometry,we found that the apoptotic rate of QBC-939 cells after treatment with STS for 0,12,24 and 48 h was (10. 16±4. 52)% ,(22. 35±2. 19)% ,(34. 27±2. 30)% and (59. 70±5. 97)% ,respectively. By flow cytometry,compared with the control group,STS could significantly increase apoptosis rate of QBC-939 cells,decrease the percentage of cells in G0 / G1 phase and increase the percentage of cells in G2 / M phase (P<0. 05). Western blotting proved that the expression levels of cyclin B1 and Cdk1 proteins in the STS-treated QBC-939 cells were significantly decreased (P<0. 05),while the expression level of p-Cdk1 protein in the STS-treated QBC-939 cells was significantly increased ( P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion STS can significantly inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis of human cholangiocarcinoma QBC-939 cells and the mechanism may be related to cell cycle arrest at G2 / M phase.

Objective To evaluate the efleet of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII)combined with mefformin hydroehloride( Met H)on type 2 diabetic patients. Methods 240 patients with type 2 diabetes melli-tus (T2DM) were divided into 3 groups randomly: CSII combined with Met H ( A group: n=80) ; simple CSII ( B group:n=80) ; multiple deliver insulin (MDI) ( C group: n=80). The levels of blood glucose, HbA1 e, therapeutic time, a-mount of insulin, Fins ,C-P, HOMA-IR and IAI were compared among them before and after 10d of treatment. Results GroupA, B eornpared with group C, the levels of HbA1 e significantly deeroased in other two groups [ ( 8.0±3.2)%vs. (6.9±1.4)% and(7.0±1.2)% ] (aU P<0.05),so did the therapeutic time[(6.0±1.9)d vs. (3.0±1.4) and(3.5±1.5) d] and insulin dose[ (55.0±17.0) U/d vs. (38.0±15.0) U/d and(45.0±16) U/d] (all P<0.05). The insulin dose was much less in group A than in group B. Versus group B and C,the HOMA-IR of group A (0.8±0.3 vs. 1.5±0.4 and 1.6±0.4)decreased(P<0.05) ,and IAI(-2.0±4.3 vs. -3.6±4. 2 and -4.1±4.3) increased (all P<0.05), without the function impairments of heart, liver or kidney. Conclusion CSII in combi-nation with mefformin hydreehloride can significantly enhance the treatment effect of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitns; reduce blood glucose and HbA1 e, improve insulin resistenee,lessen insulin need.

Objective To evaluate relationship between p53 codon72 polymorphism and cervical cancer(CC) by using meta-analysis. Methods Studies from 1998 to 2004 were retrieved through Medline, Elsevier, EBMR, Ovid, CNKI and VIP databases without language limitation. The unpublished data of our study was also included. The inclusion criteria of studies were: ① case-control studies associated with p53 codon72 genotype/allele frequencies and CC. ② CC as the outcome of interest. ③ the risk for CC had odds ratio or enough information to calculate it. RevMan4.2 software was applied to process data. Results All studies were analyzed as subgroups according to pathologic histology and race/region. The outcome of CIN of Asia and European population subgroups showed no statistically difference with the control groups. However, in ICC subgroups the frequencies of Arg/Arg genotype were significantly higher than that in the control group(Z=2.43, P=0.01, OR=1.28; Z=2.44, (P=0.01), OR=1.45). Conclusion This study suggests that polymorphism at codon72 of p53 gene is not associated with an increased susceptibility to CIN. However, a slightly increased risk was observed for ICC of Asian and European population subgroups. A possible susceptibility role of p53 codon72 polymorphism at a late carcinogenetic stage of cervical cancer cannot be ruled out.
