Practical Oncology Journal 2017;31(3):254-257
Grainhead-like 2 (GRHL2) is one of the homologous genes of Drosophila granule head-like gene in mammals,which is a kind of Drosophila granule head transcription factor.In normal organisms,GRHL2 is involved in the regulation of epithelial cell differentiation and development.In tumors,GRHL2 is complex.GRHL2 not only inhibits tumorigenesis,but it also promotes tumor formation,especially epithelial origin of malignant tumors mostly involving epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process.Further study of the relationship between GRHL2 and tumor will provide a new idea for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.The relationship between GRHL2 and tumor is reviewed in this paper.

Stem cells in bone marrow are considered as an ideal sources of seed cells with the advantage of being isolation and easy proliferated in vitro,which is a prerequisite for the autotransplantation. Studies show that the cells can differentiate into neurons. However,this opinion challenges the traditional conception of cell differentiation and therefore the dispute arises. Here we review the results of research on dedifferentiation of bone marrow cells.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of ω?6 soybean oil fat emulsion on folium sennae?induced diarrhea in mice. Methods Thirty?six Kunming mice were randomly divided into three groups,including control,diarrhea,ω?6 soybean oil fat emulsion group(12 mice in each group). Besides the mice in control group,other mice were administrated folium sennae by gavage for 15 days to establish the diarrhea model. Then mice in ω?6 soybean oil fat emulsion group received ω?6 soybean oil fat emulsion by intravenously administration at a dose of 15 mL/kg daily since 6th day after intragastric administration of folium sennae for 10 days. Animals in control group and diarrhea group were intravenously adminis?tered with same volume of saline. The body weight ,general state and diarrhea index of the mice in each group were dynamically assessed. Ten days after intravenous injection,mice in every group were sacrificed and tissues were collected. Morphology of intestine mucosa was observed after HE staining. Albumin(ALB)level in plasma was evaluated by biochemical method. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)expression in intestine mucosa were assessed by immunohistochemical method. Results Compared with that in the diarrhea group,the general status,body weight and diarrhea index of mice in ω?6 soybean oil fat emulsion group were improved significantly. Ten days after intravenously administration ,pathological change in intestine mucosa of mice in ω?6 soybean oil fat emulsion group was improved significantly ,ALB level in plasma and PCNA expression in intestine mucosa were significantly increased(P<0.05)compared with that in diarrhea group. Conclusion ω?6 soybean oil fat emulsion has a significant protective effect on the diarrhea of mice induced by folium sennae ,which may be related to the up?regulated expression of PCNA by ω?6 soybean oil fat emulsion.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of Ezrin and β?catenin in breast cancer. Methods Immunohistochemical staining method was adopted to detect Ezrin and β?catenin protein expression level in 145 cases of breast cancer tissues,and their correlation with clinical data and prognosis of breast cancer was analyzed. Results Ezrin was expressed in 70 cases(48.3%),β?catenin was expressed in 82 cases (56.6%),and there was significantly negative correlation(r=0.267,P=0.001). The higher histologic grade of breast cancer,the higher expres?sion level of Ezrin(P=0.007),and the lower expression level of β?catenin(P<0.001). Ezrin expression level was increased significantly(P=0.027),but β?catenin expression level was reduced significantly(P=0.011)in lymph node positive breast cancer tissue. Ezrin expression was sig?nificantly correlated with shorter overall survival(P=0.004)and disease free survival(P=0.017)of breast cancer patients,but β?catenin expres?sion was significantly correlated with longer overall survival(P<0.001)and disease free survival(P=0.001)of breast cancer patients. However , Ezrin and β?catenin were not the independent risk factors of breast cancer patients as determined by multivariate Cox regression. Conclusion Ez?rin was significantly negative correlated with β?catenin in breast cancer. They play a role in the progression and poor prognosis of breast cancer , which can be used as breast cancer treatment targets.

Objective To investigate the difference of spatial working memory among first-episode patients with deficit and nondeficit schizophrenia. Methods The study recruited 116 first-episode treatment-naive patients with schizo-phrenia, and 60 normal controls. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess symptoms of patients and Schedule for the Deficit Syndrome (SDS) was used to divide schizophrenia patients into deficit group (28 patients) and nondeficit group (88 patients). Spatial Working Memory (SWM) test from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automat-ed Battery (CANTAB) was used to test the spatial working memory function. Results Adjusted for age, gender and years of education, there were significant differences in the performance of between errors of 4 boxes (P=0.03), between errors of 6 boxes (P=0.01), between errors of 8 boxes (P=0.03), total errors (P=0.01) and strategy (P<0.01) between deficit and nondef-icit patients, and both groups were poorer than the control group. The SWM of deficit and nondeficit patients has no corre-lation with the negative symptoms (P>0.05). Conclusion The impairment of SWM was more severe in deficit schizophrenia patients than in nondeficit patients at early stage of the disease, suggesting they are different subtypes of schizophrenia.
