AIM:To study the effects of N-palmitoylethanolamide ( PEA) on the anxiety-and depression-like behaviors of the mouse model induced by restraint stress , and to explore the possible mechanism of anxiolytic and antide-pressant effects of PEA .METHODS:The mice were intragastrically treated with 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg of PEA for 21 con-secutive days once daily .Thirty min after intragastric administration , the mice ( except the normal control group ) were placed in the glass tube to accept 4-h chronic restraint stress for 21 d.After the last administration , the mice were submit-ted to the forced stress test and the open field test (OFT) to observe the effects of PEA on the depression-like behaviors. The cumulative immobility time was recorded during the 4-min interval in the forced swimming test ( FST) or during the 5-min interval in the tail suspension test (TST).The elevated plus maze (EPM) test was used to investigate the effect of PEA on the mouse anxiety-like behaviors , and the water maze method was used to investigate the learning and memory abi-lities, spatial orientation and cognitive function of mice .After the behavior tests , the serum was collected and the hippo-campus was removed . The serum contents of adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) , cortisol ( CORT ) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the hippocampus were detected by ELISA .The changes of acetylcholinesterase ( AChE) ac-tivity in the hippocampal homogenate was measured by spectrophotometry .RESULTS:Compared with model group , in the FST or TST, the immobility time in the mice treated with PEA at 2.5~10 mg/kg and fluoxetine was significantly reduced . In the OFT, the total locomotion distance and total movement time were increased significantly in the mice , but only 10 mg/kg PEA and fluoxetine increased the numbers of rearing .In the EPM test , the percentage of the time spent in open arms, the entries into open arms and the total locomotion distance in 4 arms in the mice were significantly increased .In wa-ter maze test , PEA at 5 and 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine significantly shortened the latency to find the security zone in the mice, and PEA at 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine obviously shorten the swimming distance .Compared with model group , PEA at 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine reduced the mouse serum levels of ACTH and CORT , and the adrenal index , increased the 5-HT content and decreased the AChE activity in the hippocampus .CONCLUSION:PEA produces antagonistic effects on an-xiety-and depression-like behaviors in the mice induced by restraint stress .Its specific mechanism may be related to the re-gulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function by increasing the 5-HT level in hippocampus , thus participating in the regulation of central cholinergic system .

Objective To evaluate the gene amplification and protein expression of HER-2 in gastric carcinoma with or without neuroendocrine differentiation (NED), and to explore the difference in HER-2 gene profile between these two neo?plasms. Methods Cases of gastric carcinoma with NED (n=70) and cases of gastric carcinoma without NED (n=150) were retrospectively reviewed. Gene amplification and protein expression of HER-2 genes in gastric carcinoma with or without NED were detected by combination of immunohistochemical method (IHC) and double color silver dye for in situ hybridiza?tion (DISH). Prognosis of gastric cancer patients with NED were predicted using Kaplan-Meiers survival analysis. Results Expression rates of HER-2 in gastric cancer with and without NED are 20.00%and 21.33%respectively. Amplification of HER-2 in gastric cancer with and without NED are 8.57%and 14.67%respectively. Gene amplification and protein expres?sion of HER-2 between gastric cancer with NED and without NED showed no statistical difference. Chromosome 17 multi-body positively correlated with gene HER-2 amplification in Gastric carcinoma with NED. Postoperative survival period in patients of gastric carcinoma with NED and HER-2 amplification was shorter than that in patients of gastric carcinoma with?out NED but with HER-2 amplification. Gastric carcinoma with or without NED, HER-2 gene amplification, lymph node me?tastasis and operation method obviously correlate with prognosis of gastric carcinoma patients (P<0.05). Conclusion The gastric cancer with NED is a special type of gastric cancer, there was no difference of gene amplification and protein expres?sion of HER-2 gene between gastric carcinoma with NED and without NED. Poor prognosis would be expected in gastric can?cer patients with NED and HER-2 amplification.

Objective To investigate the association between expression of the epithelial?to?mesenchymal transition(EMT)biomarkers and the malignant progression of gastric cancer in primary tumors and metastases and their possible correlation with progression of gastric cancer(GC). Methods The EMT biomarkers including E?cadherin,β?catenin,N?cadherin,Snail and TGF?β1 were detected by immunohistochemical method for 145 cases of gastric cancer(GC),25 cases of abnormal hyperplasia,13 cases of intestinal metaplasia,42 cases of lymph node metastasis and 40 cases of normal gastric mucosa tissues. Results Positive rates of TGF?β1,Snail,E?cadherin,β?catenin and N?cadherin were 73.5%,65.5%, 14.5%,53.1%and 35.9%,respectively,in gastric cancer tissues and 100%,100%,0%,27.5%and 2.5%,respectively,in normal gastric tissues, with a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05). The decreased expression of E?cadherin andβ?catenin and the increased expression of TGF?β1 were related to the depth of invasion of gastric cancer(P<0.05). The expression of E?cadherin was correlated positively with the expres?sion ofβ?catenin,but negatively with the expression of TGF?β1. Whereas,the expression of N?cadherin was correlated positively with the expression of TGF?β1(P<0.05). The expression of E?cadherin andβ?catenin in lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than that in gastric cancer tis?sues,while the expression of TGF?β1 was lower than in gastric cancer tissues(P<0.05). Conclusion The increased expression of TGF?β1 and Snail and the decreased expression of E?cadherin,β?catenin,and N?cadherin are involved in the processes of invasion and metastasis of GC. The transformation of E?cadherin to N?cadherin and the expression of TGF?β1 may play an important role in the development of GC. In lymph node me?tastasis,the phenomenon of mesenchymal?to?epithelial transition(MET)occurs.
