ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin in the primary colorectal carcinoma and metastatic lymph nodes and it's clinical significance. MethodsImmunohistochemical analysis of Ecadherin and β-catenin was performed in colorectal mucosa( n =20 ,group A) ,colorectal carcinoma without metastasis ( n = 25, group B) and colorectal carcinoma with metastatic lymph nodes ( n = 39, group C) The expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin and the metastasis and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma were observed. ResultsThe strongly positive expression of E-cadherin in primaries of group C (5.1％ ) was obviously lower than in group B ( U = 2. 149,P =0. 032) ,whereas no statistic differences of the expression of E-cadherin between primaries and metastases of group C were observed(P =0.186). There was no difference of the expression of β-catenin between group B and group C,the same of primary colorectal carcinoma and self control lymph nodes of group C(P =0.235 and P =0. 715). There was positive correlation between membranous down regulation of E-cadherin and β-catenin in group C( r = 0.387 ,P =0.024) ,but no relationship was found in group B( r = 0.080 ,P = 0.723 ). ConclusionThe decreased membranous expression of E-cadherin in the colorectal carcinoma was correlated with lymph nodes metastasis, and was obviously related to membranous down regulation of β-catenin. There was no relevance between the expression of β-catenin and the lymph nodes metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.

Objective Resveratrol can improve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease , but its action mechanisms remain unclear . This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of resveratrol against the free fatty acid ( FFA)-induced apoptosis of human hepatic L02 cells and its possible mechanisms . Methods Human hepatic L02 cells were incubated with FFA and resveratrol for 24 hours.The prepared cells were divided into a blank control , an FFA ( 2 mmol/L) , and a resveratrol group ( 50 μmol/L resveratrol +2 mmol L/FFA).After treatment, we measured the triglyceride (TG), glutathi-one (GSH), and malonaldchyde (MDA) contents and caspase3 ac-tivity in the hepatocytes , determined the apoptosis of the cells by flow cytometry , and detected the protein expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) by Western blot as well as the mRNA expressions of catalase (CAT), Mn superoxide dismucase (MnSOD), Bcl-2, and Bax by qRT-PCR. Results The TG content and caspase 3 activity in the hepatocytes were significantly increased in the FFA ([3518.±64.2] μmol/L and [5.97 ±0.78] U/g) and the resveratrol group ([201.1 ±60.1] μmol/L and [3.60 ±0.73] U/g) as compared with those of the blank control ([40.2 ±7.4] μmol/L and [2.56 ±0.49] U/g) (both P<0.05), but the caspase3 ac-tivity was markedly decreased in the resveratrol group in comparison with that of the FFA group (P<0.05).Both early and late apop-tosis rates of the hepatocytes were remarkably higher in the FFA ([6.75 ±0.81]%and [8.52 ±0.54]%) and the resveratrol group ([4.94 ±0.44]%and [6.52 ±0.61]%) than those in the blank control ([3.38 ±0.33]% and [2.72 ±0.19]%) ( both P<0.05), with statistically significant differences between the former two groups (P<0.05).The resveratrol group showed significant differences in the GSH content ([100.2 ±8.8] nmol/g), the MDA level ([2.36 ±0.82] mg/g), and the relative expression of SIRT1 (0.84 ±0.04) from the FFA group ([73.8 ±13.1] nmol/g, [3.77 ±0.92] mg/g, and 0.61 ±0.07) and the control ([113.7 ±13.8] nmol/g, [1.85 ±0.41] mg/g, and 0.90 ±0.02) (all P<0.05).The resveratrol group also exhibited statistically significant differences in the relative expressions of the MnSOD , CAT, and Bax genes from the FFA and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Resveratrol attenuates FFA-induced apoptosis of human hepatic L 02 cells by activating SIRT1 and reducing the oxidative stress of hepatocytes .

Objective To assess the significance of urethral sphincter electromyography (US-EMG) and external anal sphincter electromyography (EAS-EMG) for the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods US-EMG and EAS-EMG were performed in 9 patients who were diagnosed as MSA.Duration,motor unit action potentials amplitude,polyphasicity,as well as recruited pattern and amplitude during powerful contraction were recorded and analyzed.Results Among 9 patients who were diagnosed as MSA,7 cases showed neural injury by both US-EMG and EAS-EMG.There was significant difference of electromyographic findings between US-EMG group and EAS-EMG group (average volatility (μV):1063.44 ±499.92 vs 634.89 ±265.07; polyphasic wave:0(0,20％ ) vs 57％ (28％,63％ ) ; t =2.567,P=0.033;t =2.833,P=0.012).Conclusions Although US-EMG may be difficult to perform,US-EMG may have the same specificity as EAS-EMG for the diagnosis of MSA,especially for the diagnosis of MSA patients only with urination disorders,who are involved in Onuf neclear according to some of the abnormal indexes.

Objective To analyze diagnostic evaluation of urethral sphincter electromyography (US-EMGs) for patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods Totally 15 patients who were diagnosed as MSA were examined as treatment group while 17 non-MSA patients were examined as controls.US-EMGs were performed in the both groups.Spontaneous activities when relax,parameters of motor unit potentials(MUPs) mean duration and amplitude,percentage of polyphasic ware,satellite potential,recruitment potentials and amplitude when strong contraction were recorded and analyzed.Results USEMGs changes of various abnormalities were found in 13 cases (86.7％) in MSA group.There were significant differences of electromyographic findings between the MSA group and control group including MUPs mean duration[(12.79 ±3.18)ms vs (9.49 ± 1.51)ms] and amplitude[(828.53 ±459.89) μV vs (378.76 ± 152.26) μV] as well as recruitment potentials [(11.47 ± 21.55) ％ vs (8.23 ± 10.74) ％] and amplitude [(2.19 ± 1.24) mV vs (0.75 ± 0.42) mV] when strong contraction (all P values ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There is certain value of US-EMGs for the diagnosis of MSA.It could be used as a routine electrophysiological method for the patients who are suspected of MSA.It could be a supplement of externalanal sphincter electromyography.

Objective To study the expression and signiifcance of phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in mice with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Methods Ninety-six 4-day-old mice were randomly divided into oxygen group and air group. Mice in oxygen group were exposed to a FiO2 of 65%, and mice in air group were exposed to air. On day 7, 14, 21 and 28, blood and lung tissue samples from 12 randomly selected mice in each group were obtained. The serum levels of MIF and PLTP were measured by ELISA assay. The morphological changes of lung tissue were ob-served with HE staining. Results The mice in oxygen group showed thickened lung parenchyma and obvious pulmonary ifbrosis. The radioactive alveolar count was signiifcantly lower in oxygen group than that in air group (P<0.01). PLTP level in air group was increased gradually from day 7 to day 21, and began to decrease on day 28. PLTP level in oxygen group was increased from day 7 to day 14, and decreased on day 21 and day 28. MIF level in air group did not change during the experiment. MIF level in oxygen group was signiifcantly increased from day 7 to day 21, and began to decrease on day 28. Conclusions MIF and PLTP may be good biomarkers for the diagnosis of BPD.
