ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α308,TNF-β252 genotypes and serum TNF-α and TNF-β levels in patients with gastric cancer (GC).MethodsA total of 57 pathological diagnosed GC patients were collected,of which 49 cases were from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and 8 cases were from Tumor Hospital of Hubei Province.Another 18 age and sex matched healthy controls were enrolled at the same time.The TNF-α308 and TNF -β252 polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).The serum TNF-α and TNF-β levels of 57 GC patients and 18 healthy controls were measured by ELISA.The difference of TNF serum level in different TNF genotypes of GC and the difference between GC patients and the healthy controls was analyzed.Its relationship with clinical pathological characters was also analyzed.Results With TNF-α308 genotype,GA were 6 cases and GG were 51 cases.With TNF-β252 genotype,GG were 17 cases,GA and AA each were 20 cases.The serum TNF-α level of GC patients was significant higher than that of healthy controls (median 445 × 10-3 μg/L vs 5 × 10-3 μg/L,P＜0.05),and the serum level of each TNF-α308 andTNF-β 252 genotypes was significant higher than that of healthy controls (P＜0.05).However there was no statistical significance in TNF -β level compared with healthy controls (P＞0.05).In addition,the serum TNF-α levels of the TNF-α308G/TNF-β252G and TNF-α308G/TNF β252A haplotypes in GC patients were significant higher than those of the healthy controls (P＜0.05),and the increase like serum TNF-α level was associated with the patients'age and lymph node metastasis (P＜0.05).The TNF-β level in patients with TNF-α308A and TNF-β252G high-risk haplotypes showed a significant relation with smoking history (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions Serum TNF-α level of GC patients was significantly higher,however there was no significant association between the increase and TNF-α308 and TNF-β252 genotypes.The serum TNF-α levels of TNF-α308G/TNF-β252G and TNF-α308G/TNF-β252A haplotypes in GC patients were significant higher,and associated with the patients'age and lympb node metastasis.It was indicated that TNF haplotypes may have certain impact on the TNF expression and clinical subtypes in GC.

Objective To explore the technique of massive facial scar revision. Methods All 12 patients in the group were treated with expanded deltopectoral skin flap. In the primary surgery, expander was implanted underneath deltopectoral flap region through an incision inferior to the clavi-cle. The skin perforators of transverse cervical artery and thoracoacromial artery were ligated during surgery, and the internal thoracic artery was carefully preserved. After the deltopectoral skin flap was fully expanded, the second surgery was performed and the facial scar was released and the normal ana-tomic position of eyes, nose and month was restored. The deltopectoral skin flap was planed according to the size of the defect. The excised facial scar was converted to the flap pedicle and a hinge-like con-nection was formed. The flap was delayed and three weeks after the second surgery, the pedicle was divided. The flap from the pedicle was applied for the mental region scar revision. Results Unilateral or bilateral dehopectoral skin flaps were employed for the repair of extensive facial scar in 12 patients. Satisfactory results were achieved in all these patients. Conclusion Expanded deltopectoral skin flap is a good technique for the repair of extensive facial scar.

AIM: To clone the extracellular domain of N-cadherin cDNA, and to observe the antigenicity of the expressed protein. METHODS: Total RNA was extracted from CD34+ cells separated from fetal liver and bone marrow cells. The extracellular domain of N-cad cDNA was amplified with RT-PCR and inserted into a vector pOPE101-215. The recombinant pOPE-N-cad was expressed with IPTG induction. Then, mice were immunized with the protein. RESULTS: The extracellular domain of N-cad cDNA from CD34+ cells was identified by DNA sequencing. The recombinant pOPE-N-cad in host XL1-blue expressed a 70 kD protein after induced with IPTG, and anti-N-cad antibody was detected in serum of the immunized mice after 5 times injection of the recombinant N-cad protein. CONCLUSION: CD34+ cells bore N-cad gene and the recombinant protein of the extracellular domain of N-cad cDNA shows good immunogenicity.

AIM: To study the molecular mechanism in modulation of expression of insulin receptor substrate-1 and-2 (IRS-1,-2) by estrogen and high concentration of insulin. METHODS: The 5′-regulatory regions of IRS-1 and IRS-2 gene were cloned into the pGL3 plasmid with luciferase reporter, and the clones were transfected into HeLa cells. The cells were incubated with estradiol (1 nmol/L) and high concentration of insulin (100 nmol/L). The relatively transcriptional activity of the 5′-regulatory regions of IRS-1 and IRS-2 gene was detected. RESULTS: It was found that the relatively transcriptional activity of the 5′-modulatory regions of IRS-2 reduced markedly after cells were incubated with 100 nmol/L insulin (P

AIM:To investigate the influence of ovariectomy and estrogen replacemeot treatment on profile of gene expression in myocardium by cDNA microarray,and to characterize the targeting genes of estrogen.METHODS:cDNA microarray containing 1 400 rat cDNAs was used to study the genes differentially expressed in myocardium between sham(Ⅰ),ovariectomy(Ⅱ,OVX)and estrogen replacement treatment(Ⅲ,OVX+E2)group.Then down-regulated genes in myocardium of OVX rats were further confirmed by RT-PCR.RESULTS:177 genes were differentially expressed in myocardium between sham and OVX rats,with 91 genes up-regulated and 86 genes down-regulated in OVX rats.164 genes were differentially expressed in myocardium between OVX and OVX+E2 rats,with 113 genes up-regulated and 54 genes down-regulated in OVX rats.There were 54 genes differentially expressed in OVX compared to sham and OVX+E2.They are involved in membrane channels and transporters(18),cell receptors(9),intracellular transducers/effectors/modulator(7)and metabolism(6).Most of the genes(45)were down-regulated in OVX rats and up-regulated in OVX+E2 rats.RT-PCR test confirmed the results of cDNA microarray.CONCLUSIONS:Long-term estrogen replacement may influence the expression of genes involved in membrane channels and transporters,cell receptors,intracellular transducers/effectors/modulator and metabolism.Long-term estrogen replacement has some beneficial effects on ionic concentration and cardiac function which partially comes from the results of influence of expression on Na+,K+-ATPase and Na+/H+ exchanger.Estrogen has an inhibitory effect on the expression of dopamine receptor,which partially clarify the myocardial protection of estrogen.

Objective To investigate the effect of autophagy in radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cells.Methods The expression of ATG5 in CNE-2 cells was inhibited by lentiviral mediated RNA interference.The cells were divided into three groups:control group,NC group and ATG5 group.Cell proliferation,apoptosis and radiosensitivity were detected by CCK-8 method,flow cytometry and colony-forming assay,respectively.Results Compared with the NC group and control group,the survival of ATG5-interfected cells was reduced (F =3.755,46.086,8.609,44.160,P ＜ 0.05).After 6 Gy X-ray irradiation,the apoptosis index of the ATG5 group significantly higher than that of NC group and control group (F =394.876,P ＜ 0.05).In addition,the radiosensitivity of ATG5 group was also higher than that of control cells.Conclusions Suppression of autophagy activity enhances the radiosensitivity of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

Objective To study the effect of the long-term operation of a nuclear power plant (NPP) on population health,and to collect the health related data of the population around (NPP).Methods Four research areas,named 0-10 km area,10-20 km area,20-30 km area and control area,were set up interms of the distance from the nuclear power plant.Human blood samples were collected to detect chromosome aberration and lymphocytes subsets.Results The rates of cells with chromosome aberration at 0-10 km area,10-20 km area,20-30 km area and control area were 0.157％,0.167％,0.070％ and 0.111％,respectively.The differences of rates in the four areas were not statistically significant.The percentages of T lymphocytes,helper T lymphocytes,suppressor T lymphocytes,B lymphocytes and natural killer lymphocytes were all normal.The difference of percentages among 0-10 km area,10-20 km area,20-30 km area were not statistically significant.Conclusions In the operational condition,less significant impact is caused to the population around nuclear power plant.
