Chinese Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology 2015;(6):611-614
Purpose To investigate the comparison of miR-106a in fresh and paraffin-embedded tissues and its expression in precan-cerous 1esions of gastric cancer. Methods Human gastric cancer tissues inc1uding 30 coup1es of fresh and 40 coup1es of paraffin-em-bedded samp1es were co11ected,quantitative rea1-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-106a in these two samp1es. Anoth-er paraffin-embedded samp1es inc1uding 20 cases of precancerous 1esions and 40 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma were a1so co11ected,in situ hybridization was used to assess the expression of miR-106a in these stages. Results The re1ative expression of miR-106a in fresh tissues was 3. 25 ± 1. 99,in paraffin-embedded tissues was 3. 18 ± 2. 14,indicating that the expression of miR-106a in these two sam-p1es has no statistica1 difference(P>0. 05),corre1ation ana1ysis showed that there was a significant corre1ation of miR-106a expression in these two samp1es(rs =0. 998,P<0. 001). The expression of miR-106a was detected in the stage of precancerous 1esions with the positive rate was 70%. The positive signa1s were 1ocated in dysp1astic epithe1ia1 ce11s and appeared as dark b1ue fine granu1es. The positive rate of miR-106a in gastric cancer tissues was 87. 5% and the frequency and extent increased and enhanced compared with pre-cancerous 1esions. Conclusion miR-106a has significant corre1ation in gastric cancer fresh tissues and paraffin-embedded tissues. Detection of miR-106a with paraffin tissues and its ear1y changes in prema1ignant 1esions can provide va1uab1e information for the ear1y diagnosis of gastric cancer.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between arterial stiffness and variability of blood pressure (BPV) in senile patients with hypertension.
Methods: A total of 234 senile patients with hypertension were enrolled. The patients were examined by 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), BPV was identified by the standard deviation (SD) of blood pressure value. Based on increased percentage of baPWV, the patients were divided into 4 groups: Normal artery group, n=44, Mild arterial stiff group, n=72, Moderate arterial stiff group, n=78 and Severe arterial stiff group, n=40. The 24h ABPM results, BPV, biochemical indexes and their relationship to baPWV were compared among different groups.
Results:①The HDL-C level and 24hDBP, dDBP, 24hSBPSD, 24hDBPSD, dSBPSD, dDBPSD, nDBPSD were significantly different among each group, all P<0.05.②The increased percentage of baPWV was positively related to the age and 24hSBPSD, 24hDBPSD, dSBPSD, dDBPSD, nDBPSD, while negatively related to HDL-C level, all P<0.05.③The age and 24hSBPSD, 24hDBPSD, dSBPSD were the independent risk factors for baPWV elevation.
Conclusion: The arterial stiffness was closely related to BPV in senile patients with hypertension.

This paper is to report the study of the metabolism of forscolin in plasma and liver microsomes for guiding clinical therapy. Forscolin was quantified by HPLC-MS/MS. The metabolic stability of forscolin in rat, Beagle dog, monkey and human plasma and liver microsomes, mediated enzymes of forscolin and its inhibition on cytochrome P450 isoforms in human liver microsomes were studied. Results showed that forscolin was not metabolized in plasma of the four species but metabolized in liver microsomes of the four species. The t1/2 of forscolin in rat, Beagle dog, monkey and human liver microsomes were (52.0 +/- 15.0), (51.2 +/- 5.9), (6.0 +/- 0.2) and (11.9 +/- 1.8) min; CL(int) were (75.6 +/- 18.7), (60.9 +/- 6.8), (513.8 +/- 14.3) and (176.2 +/- 25.6) mL x min(-1) x kg(-1); CL were (34.8 +/- 4.5), (23.3 +/- 1.0), (40.3 +/- 0.5) and (17.9 +/- 0.3) mL x min(-1) x kg(-1), respectively. Forscolin was metabolized by CYP3A4 in human liver microsomes. There was definite inhibition on CYP3A4 at the concentrations of forscolin between 0.1 ng x mL(-1) and 5 microg x mL(-1). Therefore, forscolin is rapidly excreted from liver microsomes. Attention should be paid to the drug interaction when forscolin was used along with other drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 in clinics.

Objective To determine the contributions of main chemical compositions of extracts of Eucalyptus camaldulensis represented by GC/MS elute peaks to the molluscicidal activities,and explore a shortcut of looking for the effective components from natural products. Methods E. camaldulensis leaves were collected consecutively in 12 months at the same place,extracted with dichloromethane,analyzed by GC/MS,and their LC50(s)of molluscicidal activities were tested according to the method rec-ommended by WHO. The correlation of the main components in 12 extracts and their molluscicidal activities were analyzed by the grey relative correlation analysis model with software GTMS 3.0. Result All the dichloromethane extracts of eucalyptus leaves showed excellent molluscicidal activities with the highest LC50 of 0.257mg/L and 0.242mg/L for the samples in June and July and the lowest LC50 of 6.802 mg/L and 5.406 mg/L in December and January respectively. The structures of 16 main chemical compo-nents were elucidated by GC/MS and NIST Mass Spectral Library,most of which were monoterpenes and sesquiterpenoids. The gray correlation coefficients with activity were all over 0.5,the first five over 0.9 were 4,4,8-Trimethyltricyclo[6.3.1.0(1,5)]do-decane-2,9-diol,(-)-Spathulenol,a structural isomer of(-)-Spathulenol,Eucalyptol and Ledol. Conclusion The most main in-gredients in the dichloromethane extracts of E. camaldulensis leaves show good correlations with the molluscicidal activity,which suggests that the molluscicidal role is synergistically played by the multiple components together.

BACKGROUND: Human apolipoprotein H which characterizes by polymorphism is related to metabolism of triacylglycerol (TG) and function of platelet; therefore, it is suspected that it is possibly related to coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAHD).OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation among apolipoprotein H(ApoH) exon-8 polymorphism with CAHD and its effect on lipometabolism.DESIGN: Case-controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, Haici Medical Group, Qingdao,Shangdong. PARTICIPANTS: 110 CAHD patients selected from Qingdao Haici Medical Group were regarded as CAHD group, and other 100 healthy subjects were regarded as control group.METHODS: 2 mL blood was collected from peripheral vein of all cases. Polymerase chain reaction and technique of restriction fragment length polymorphism were used to determine the genotype of ApoH exon-8; meanwhile, lipids were measured with oxidase technique.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① polymorphism of ApoH exon-8 genotype; ② gene frequency of ApoH exon-8 (Try316Ser); ③ comparisons of lipid level of cases with various genetypes.RESULTS: All 210 cases were involved in the final analysis. ① G1025C (Try316Ser) existed in ApoH exon-8, including types of GG and GC, butnot CC type. ② The frequency of GC in the CAHD group was 25.5%, and the frequency of C allele was 0.13; they were significantly higher than those in control group (10%, 0.05, P <0.05). ③ TG level in genotype GC of CAHD group was significantly higher than that both in GG genotype and in any genotype of control group [(1.38±0.24), (1.16±0.10),(1.09±0.78), (1.12±0.76) mmol/L, P < 0.05]. Level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (C-LDL) was higher in CAHD group than that in control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The polymorphism of ApoH exon-8 is closely related to CAHD and TG level.
