Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a type of protein tyrosine kinase in the cytoplasm, is highly expressed in many types of malignant tumors. FAK is named as such because of its close relationship with the cell adhesion function. Recent studies show that FAK is expressed in many tumor cells and has a definite relationship with cancer progress, metastasis, and prognosis. Accordingly, FAK has become one of the new tumor therapeutic targets that will bring new methods for tumor therapy.

Objective:Observing the therapeutic effectiveness of Erhuangwendan Decoction and Yiqiyangyinningxin Decoction treating acute viral myocarditis.Methods: 344 cases were distributed into the therapeutic group(258cases) and the control group (86 cases). The treapeutic group were first given Erhuangwendan Decoction one packet per day, then Yiqiyangyinningxin Decoction one packet per day after acute attack. The control group were only given myocardial nutrient. All were given 3～6 months. We observed the symptoms,signs ang EKG of the two groups. Results: The effective rate of the therapeutic group was 40% after 3 months. And it was 84% after 6 months. The effective rate of the control group was 15% after 3 months. And it was 34.8% after 6 months. The two groups have obvious difference( P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens in urinary system infection.METHODS Collected from patients urine specimens of our hospital during Jan 2004 Dec 2008 were cultured,detected and studied drug resistance.RESULTS Among these pathogens,Escherichia coli rated the top one(44%),followed by coagulase negative Staphylococcus,fungi,Enterococcus,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Proteus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.The Enterobacteriaceae were sensitive to imipenem(100%) and the Enterococcues and Staphytlococcus were sensitive to vancomycin(100%).But they all showed higher drug resistance to other antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS E.coli from urinary tract infection is the most common pathogen.In the treatment of urinary tract infection the commonly used drugs such as gentamicin,ciprofloxacin,etc,have produced a higher resistance.Clinician should pay attention to the changes in their drug resistance and use correctly.

Objective To investigate the expression of P-glycoprotein(P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), lung resistance-related protein (LRP) and predicts treatment outcome in the elderly acute myeloid leukemia. Methods Multi-parameter flow eytometric assay was used to quantify expression of P-go, muhidrug-associated resistance protein (MRP) and lung resistance-related protein (LRP) in bone marrow viable blasts from 12 eldely acute myeloid leukemia patients at diagnosis (M2a:4, one is come from MDS, M3a:2, M5a:5, M6a:1). Correlation of the MDR protein expression with treatment outcome were analysed. Results The frequency of expression of P-gp, MRP and LRP was 58.33 %, 8.33 %, 50 %, respectively and P-gp(+)/MRP(+) 0, P-gp(+)/LRP(+) 33.33 %, MRP(+)/LRP(+) 0, P-gp(+)/MRP(+)/LRP(+)8.33 %, P-go(-)/MRP (-)/LRP(-) 33.33 %;respectively. The frequency of overexpression of P-gp or LRP alone and both of them were relatively higher. The rate of complete remission (CR) and overall survival (OS) at one year of P-gp(+) group were significantly lower than those of P-go(-) group, and LRP(+) group also were lower than LRP(-) group. Conclusion The Frequency of expression of P-gp or LRP and coexpression of both of them were higher in elderly patients with AML. The overexpression of P-gp and/or LRP was a poor prognotic factor for eldely myeloid leukemia in elderly patients.

Objective To explore the effect of 1a,25(OH)2 D3 on circadian clock gene expressions in cardiac myocytes.Methods Cultured cardiac myocytes isolated from 7 -day -old Sprague -Dawley(SD)rats were identified by immunofluorescence.The medium including 1a,25 (OH)2 D3 (final concentrations were 0 nmol/L,1 nmol/L, 10 nmol/L,50 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L)were added to primary myocardial cells to culture for 2 h and then total RNA was extracted.Real -time polymerase chain reaction (RT -PCR)was applied to analyze myocardial cells circadian clock gene (Bmal1,Per2,Rev -erba)transcript levels to determine optimum concentration of 1a,25(OH)2 D3 .Then, the primary myocardial cells cultured for 72 h were divided into 3 groups:the control group was of serum -free culture medium;serum shock group was of DMEMcontaining 50%volume fraction of horse serum cultured 2 h;1a,25(OH)2 D3 treatment group receiving 1a,25 (OH)2 D3 at optimal concentration cultured 2 h.The cells were collected at 7 time points (0 h,4 h,8 h,12 h,16 h,20 h,24 h)and then total RNA was extracted.RT -PCR was applied to analyze circa-dian clock gene (Bmal1,Per2,Rev -erba)transcript levels in the myocardial cells.Results In the presence of 50 nmol/L 1 a,25(OH)2 D3 ,the Bmal1 mRNA expression showed the highest level,but the Per2 and Rev -erba mRNA expression levels were minimum.Compared with the control group,both 1a,25 (OH)2 D3 treatment group and serum shock group caused day -cycle rhythmic oscillation in circadian clock genes(Bmal1,Per2,Rev -erba)in the cardiac myocytes.And the expressions pattern of Bmal1 and Per2 genes were in the opposite phase.While Bmal1 gene expres-sion appeared at peak at 12 h,Per2 gene expression appeared in a trough.Expression of Rev -erba gene trend began to rise at 8 h,and the highest expression level appeared at 12 -16 h.Conclusions 1a,25(OH)2 D3 can affect Bmal1, Per2 and Rev -erba mRNA expressions of circadian clock genes in the cardiac myocytes.

Objective To explore the basic biological characteristics of lncRNA -uc.1 67,and its spatial dis-tribution,temporal expression pattern during the mouse embryonic development.Methods The UCSC genome browser of ENCODE was used to analyze preliminary bioinformatics of lncRNAs.Real -time (RT)-PCR was applied to detect the expression of uc.1 67 and neighboring genes in the embryonic mouse heart in different stages (P7.5,P1 1 .5,P1 4.5, P1 8.5).Dimethyl sulphoxide was used to induce P1 9 cell differentiation into the cardiomyocytes.RT -PCR was applied to detect the expression changes in uc.1 67 and neighboring genes on differential day 0,4,6,8 and 1 0.Results Full -length of human uc.167 was 201 bp,and human uc.167 was located in the genome 5q14.3 (chr5:88179623 -881 79824,GRCh37 /hg1 9).uc.1 67 mainly expressed in the ventricular muscle tissue.The expression of uc.1 67 was gradually decreased in the mouse embryonic heart development process(P7.5:1 .000 ±0.1 00,P1 1 .5:0.71 4 ±0.1 07, P1 4.5:0.393 ±0.043,P1 8.5:0.1 25 ±0.01 3),while the expression of its neighboring Mef2c gene was gradually in-creased(P7.5:1 .081 ±0.1 1 8,P1 1 .5:2.340 ±0.351 ,P1 4.5:3.958 ±0.542,P1 8.5:9.361 ±0.722),which showed an opposite trend.The expression of uc.1 67 during P1 9 cell differentiation into cardiomyocytes showed a an increase at first and then a decreasepattern,and the highest level expression of uc.1 67 was on differential day 4(d0:1 .071 ± 0.1 1 7,d4:4.71 4 ±0.501 ,d6:3.572 ±0.41 4,d8:2.550 ±0.31 4,d1 0:0.786 ±0.085).The expression of neigh-boring gene Mef2c was in an opposite trend(d0:1 .01 2 ±0.041 ,d4:0.353 ±0.037,d6:2.470 ±0.329,d8:6.706 ± 0.682,d1 0:7.765 ±0.705).Conclusions It is suggested that uc.1 67 may take part in the process of embryonic heart development and may play a role through negatively regulating its neighboring gene Mef2c.

Objective:To retrospectively evaluate the prognostic risk factors of T1-2 stage breast cancer patients with one to three positive node(s) and their effects on the benefits of post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT). Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 457 breast cancer patients with T1-2 stage and one to three positive axillary lymph nodes treated in our hospital between 2000 and 2002. The independent prognostic factors of the patients were calculated by the Cox proportional hazards model. The patients were fur-ther classified into high-risk and low-risk subgroups according to the risk factors to explore the benefit of PMRT on the prognosis of dif-ferent subgroups using survival analysis. Results:PMRT was not an independent beneficial factor of overall survival (OS) (HR=0.949;CI:0.435-2.074;P=0.896) or loco-regional recurrent free survival (LRRFS) (HR=0.611;CI:0.231-1.614;P=0.320) in all patients. Ex-tracapsular extension (ECE) and pathological grades were independent prognostic risk factors, and the benefits of PMRT were signifi-cantly different on the prognosis of high-risk subgroup patients (group ECE+OS:P=0.020, LRRFS:P=0.014;group GradeⅢOS:P=0.002, LRRFS:P<0.001). Meanwhile, PMRT failed to prolong the OS and LRRFS of low-risk subgroup patients (group ECE+OS:P=0.353, LRRFS:P=0.796;group GradeⅠtoⅡOS:P=0.267, LRRFS:P=0.589). Conclusion:ECE and gradeⅢwere the independent risk factors of death and loco-regional recurrence in the T1-2 breast cancer patients with one to three positive lymph node(s). PMRT was an effective adjuvant therapy to improve the prognosis of patients with high-risk factors. However, the benefit of PMRT had no sig-nificance in patients with ECE-or gradeⅠ-Ⅱ.

Objective:To analyze the clinico-pathological characteristics, pathological diagnosis, and treatment of rhabdoid tu-mor. Methods:The medical records of four rhabdoid tumor patients that were admitted to the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Insti-tute and Hospital since 2000 were analyzed based on existing literature. Results:In one of the four cases, the tumor originated from the kidney, whereas in the other three, the tumor occurred from extra-renal soft tissues. Histologic analysis revealed that the tumor cells were loosely arranged with diffuse growth, vesicular nuclei, dyed cytoplasm, visible eosinophilic inclusions, and more nuclear fission. The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the vimentin and epithelial membrane antigen were positive, whereas CK, CD99, CD34, and S-100 were positive at different degrees. MyoD1, Desmin, and INI-1 were negative. Conclusion:Rhabdoid tumor is rare and highly aggressive. It occurs mainly in the kidney and can also be found in other systems. The unique pathological form and im-munohistochemical staining observed on the tumor can be used as reference for diagnosis.
