Objective To explore the influence of XTP4 on genomic expression profile of hepatocyte through screening and cloning of genes trans-regulated by XTP4-expressing plasmid. Methods The expressive vector pcDNA3.1(-)-XTP4 was constructed by routine molecular biological methods, and suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) method was employed to detect the mRNA differentially expressed by the HepG2 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1(-)-XTP4 and pcDNA3.1(-), respectively, using lipofectamine. The twice enriched PCR products were subcloned into T/A vectors to set up the subtractive library. Amplification of the library was carried out in E. coli strain JM109. The screened cDNA were sequenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after PCR. Results The amplified subtractive library containd 21 positive clones. Colony PCR analysis showed that there were 16 clones containing 200-1000bp inserts. Sequence analysis was performed and 9 kinds of encoding sequences were achieved. These genes trans-regulated by XTP4 protein involved in hepatic fibrogenesis, tumorgenesis, mitochondrial function, and cell growth regulation. Conclusions The findings obtained by SSH provide significant data for a preliminary understanding of the biological function of a new identified gene-XTP4. These results will pave the way for the study of the molecular mechanism of the transactivating effects of HBxAg and the development of new therapy for chronic hepatitis B.

Purpose:To investigate the cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) expression in gastric carcinoma and investigate the effects of COX-2 expression on P-glycoprotein. Methods:The expression of COX-2 and P-glycoprotein was examined by immunohistochemical staining in 48 cases of gastric carcinoma and 10 cases of normal gastric tissues. Results:There was no positive signal of COX-2 detected in normal gastric tissue. The positive expression rate of COX-2 was 60.4 %(29/48) in gastric carcinoma. The expression of COX-2 was correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P

Objective To study on the establishment of human ovarian cancer models with nude mice which can be investigated efficiently.MethodsHuman epithelial ovarian cancer 3AO cells cultured in vitro was injected by S.C.and I.P.in nude mice,so as to establish and observe human epithelial ovarian carcinoma models in nude mice.When the transplanted tumor grew big enough,the speciments of transplanted tumors were identified by histological and electron microscope observation and DNA content was analysed by flow cytometry.ResultsThe human ovarian cancer models with nude mice have been established successfully.There were many differences between the two kinds of models.The success rate of transplantation subcutaneously was 93.3%(14/15),whereas a little shorter rate was 86.7%(12/15) in transplantation peritoneally.ConclusionHuman ovarian cancer models with nude mice are easy to establish.They could display the invasive growth behavior and metastasis as same as human ovarian carcinoma.They are good models for experimental research of ovarian carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the vocal quality of patients with Reinke's edema before and after the endolaryngeal phonosurgery combined with micro-suture techniques. METHOD: Twenty male patients with bilateral Reinke's edema were submitted to surgery. All patients received the endolaryngeal phonosurgery combined with micro-suture techniques on vocal fold and completed voice evaluation preoperative and postoperative 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Acoustic voice parameters were compared with the control group without voice pathology. RESULT: The result showed that at postoperative 2 weeks, compared with the preoperative evaluation the patients' subjective sound quality improved obviously. Acoustic voice parameters improved significantly (P<0.05). At postoperative 3 months, vocal form kept well, vocal cord vibration amplitude and mucous wave seemed normal. Acoustic voice parameters had no statistical difference compared with the control group and tended to reach normal values (P>0.05). At postoperative 6 months, voice quality still remain stable, all of the analyzed parameters had no obvious difference. CONCLUSION The phonosurgery combined with micro-suture techniques treat on the Reinke's edema, vocal cord postoperative recovery time is short, the sound quality receive basic recovery after 3 months.

Objective To study the relationship between graft injury and expression of redox factor-1 in early period after liver transplantation in rats. Methods One hundred and fifty adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: liver transplant group, sham surgery group and control group. Animals were sacrificed in each group at different time points: 3,6,9, 12,24 hour after liver transplantation. The changes and significance of the expression of Ref-1 were explored by immunohistochemistry, serology and histopathology. Results Compared with sham surgery group and control group, the expression of Ref-1 protein in transplant group was higher than that in other two groups in early period after liver transplantation ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). In pathology there were lots of inflammation cells infiltration around the portal veins, and cell damage of hepatic tissue, while that in sham surgery and control group was comparatively slight. Serum ALT and AST values reached the peak at 6 ～ 12 h, and decreaced significantly after 12 h ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Graft injury after liver transplantation during early period reaches peak at 6 hour and then decreased. Hepatic ischemic reperfusion injury promotes Ref-1 expression, which in turn compensates for programme cell death induced by the injury.

Objective To explore the clinical value of indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence imaging with methylene blue for the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in early breast cancer.Methods SLNB was performed in forty patients by fluorescence navigation with methylene blue.Frozen section was performed,followed by conventional histopathology.Results The identification rate of SLN was 100％.100％ of SLNs were fluorescent,with the average number being 2.88.92.5％ of SLNs were stained blue,with the average number being 1.75.The presence of lymph node metastasis was observed in intraoperative biopsy in 7 patients,and a total dissection of the axillary lymph nodes was performed immediately.Metastatic lesions were not found in the identified lymph nodes by intraoperative biopsy and permanent pathological diagnosis in the other 33 patients.Conclusions Sentinel lymph nodes biopsy by fluorescence navigation with methylene blue was a feasible minimally invasive technology with high detection rate.

Objective To investigate the safety and obtain parameters of microeoagulation of dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) of cervical cord with bipolar foreps on animal model,and provide histological base for clinical application of treatment of brachial plexus avulsiol pain using microcoagulation of dorsal root entry zone.Methods On the base of swine's weight and spinal cord size in similar to human being,it was chosen to be experimental animal.The right DREZs of cervical cord were microcoagulated with bipolar forceps.The swines were fed in normal way.Their activities were observed.The mass change of the cervical cord segment were observed after 3 weeks and the cervical cord segment was fixed with 10% fromalin,paraffin sliced,HE dying.Coagulating space,depth and width were measured under microsope.The coagulating parameter were adjusted according to measuring outcome in order to achieving a most avaliable parameter.Results All post-op swine survived.When the microcogulation were made with bipolar forceps adopted following parame- ters:The distance of between the polar was 2.0 mm;The diameter of polar was 0.3 mm.The inserting depth 2 mm,the coagulated power 18 watt,the coagulated time was 2 second,then the width of lesions of DREZ in cross section was 1.15 mm and the depth of lesions was 3.10 mm,which was consistent with the area of hu- man DREZ of cervical cord.Conclusion The experiment on swine suggested,microcoagulation of DREZ by bipolar forceps is safe and no mortal complications when the testified parameters are adoped,and can achieve the area of DREZ of cervical cord in human.

Objective To study the related factors of recurrence after myomectomy. Methods The clinical data of 441 cases with myomectomy were collected. The age at the time of operation, body mass index(BMI), preoperative parity, and the location, size and number of myomas were recorded, and the postoperative recurrence rate was calculated. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed for possible factors related to recurrence. Results The average time of follow-up was(37.79?18.64) months. Recurrence was found in 125 cases, and 5-year cumulative rate of recurrence was 38.9%. The age at the time of operation, BMI, number of myomas and preoperative parity were related factors of recurrence(P
