Objective To detect the expressions of Matrix Metalloprotein-11 ( MMP-11 ) and Cathepsin-D(Cath-D),and investigate their relationship and prognostic significance. Methods The study included 95 cases′ clinical date and postoperative specimens of gastric adenocarcinoma ( North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital,2010. 01-2013. 12) as observation group,70 cases of normal gastric tissue(from observation group) as control group. Expressions of MMP-11 and Cath-D were detected by IHC methods in two groups. Results The positive rate of MMP-11 was 51. 6%( 49/95) in observation group,5. 7%(4/70)in control group(χ2=38. 884,P<0. 05). The positive rate of Cath-D was 73. 7%(70/95) in observation group,28. 6%(20/70) in control group(χ2=33. 082,P<0. 05). The positive rate of MMP-11 was correlated with metastasis and vascular invasion(χ2=7. 193、15. 566,P<0. 05). The positive rate of Cath-D was correlated with maximal diameter,lymph node metastasis,vascular invasion and proliferation index(χ2=7.431、5.654、6.569、6.801,P<0.05).There was positive relationship between MMP-11 and Cath-D in observation group(r=0. 46,P<0. 05). The expressions of MMP-11 and Cath-D were correlated with prognosis in gastric adenocarcinoma ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion The higher expressions and synergistic effect of MMP-11 and Cath-D may promote the occurrence and development in gastric adenocarcinoma. The joint detection of MMP-11 and Cath-D may be helpful to predict the prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma.

Objective:
To evaluate of the specificity of a new norovirus (NoV) detection method of in situ capture real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (ISC-RT-qPCR) and to apply the method for the detection of NoVs in fresh strawberry.
Methods:
A panel of stool samples with different NoV genotypes and various inoculums were used for the experiments.
Results:
We found that all the tested samples of eight genogroup Ⅱ (GⅡ) NoVs could be detected specifically by ISC-RT-qPCR. Moreover, in contrast to the conventional RT-qPCR method , the situation that the Ct value increased as the inoculum of NoV GⅡ decreased was not shown using ISC-RT-qPCR. When we tested NoVs in strawberry samples by ISC-RT-qPCR, the minimum test limit could reach 1.36 genocopy/10 g of fresh strawberry.
Conclusions
ISC-RT-qPCR is an effective and specific technic and it could be applied for the detection of infectious NoVs from stool samples and fresh strawberry samples.
