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 effects of human cytomegalovirus ( HCMV) persistent in-fection on the central nervous system of BALB/c mice.Methods Thirty specific-pathogen-free mice of 6-8 weeks old were randomly divided into three groups including HCMV infected group , inactivated HCMV group and human embryo fibroblast ( HF) control group .Each mouse in the three groups was intraperitoneally inoc-ulated with 1.8 ×107 PFU of HCMV, 1.8 ×107 PFU inactivated HCMV and 1 ×105 HF cells, respectively. All mice were housed in microisolator cages for three months and their behavior and body weight were ob -served.Then three tests including autonomic activities test , Morris Water Maze and step-down passive avoid-ance task were performed on all mice to evaluate the changes of their behavior .Cerebral cortex tissues were collected from all mice to detect HCMV and to conduct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.Brain tis-sues were stained by HE method to evaluate the pathological damages .Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructure of neuron cells and the existence of virus particles .Results (1) The body weight of mice showed no significant differences among the three groups ( P>0 .05 ) .( 2 ) The frequency of autonomic activities were decreases in HCMV infected group in comparison with other two groups , but there was no significant differences among the three groups (P>0.05).(3)The place navigation test demonstra-ted that the escape latency of mice from HCMV infected group as well as HF group showed significant differ -ence after training for different periods of time (P<0.05).The escape latency of mice with HCMV infection was much longer than that of other two control groups (P<0.05), but the differences between two control groups were not significant (P>0.05).Compared with the mice in two control groups , the mice in HCMV infected group showed a lower frequency of crossing the quadrant where the platform had been located on pre -vious trials in the probe trial test (P<0.05).Moreover, the time of first crossings was also longer than that of mice from two control groups (P<0.05).(4)In the learning phase the mice from HCMV infected group showed a high frequency of mistakes in comparison with that from two control groups in step -down passive avoidance task (P<0.05).After 24 hours, the frequency of mistakes was decreased in each group , and the differences were significant (P<0.05).The latency was very shorter in mice from HCMV infected group than that observed in two control groups (P<0.05).(5)The HCMV infection was identified in six mice from HCMV infected group .And the positive HCMV UL83 gene could be only detected in HCMV infected group as indicated by PCR analysis .(6)The pathological changes including cell swelling , loosen cytoplasm, decreased cell layers and vacuolization were observed in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of mice from HCMV infected group .HCMV-specific intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies and herpes virus like particles were detected by using transmission electron microscope .No obvious abnormalities were observed in two control groups.Conclusion HCMV persistent infection could damage the central nervous system of mice .The au-tonomic activities of mice with HCMV persistent infection were not affected , but the learning and memory ca-pability of them were damaged at some extent .

Objective To explore the expression of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-3(TIM-3)in peripheral blood mononu-clear cells from patients with primary Sj¨ogren’s syndrome(pSS)and its clinical significance.Methods Enrolled 33 pSS pa-tients from Shanghai Changzheng Hospital and Changhai Hospital in October 2012 and July 2013.The relative expression of TIM-3 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)in 33 patients and 33 healthy individuals was detected by RT-PCR. The association between TIM-3 mRNA level and clinical characteristics were analyzed,for example,serum RF,CRP and anti-SSA/SSB antibody.1 2 of the pSS patients were followed up and their TIM-3 mRNA level was determined after glucocorti-coid treatment for 2 months.Results The expression of TIM-3 in PBMCs from patients with pSS was increased significantly than that in healthy individuals (0.55±0.12 vs 0.13±0.10,t=15.44,P<0.000 1),but its expression between anti-SSA/anti-SSB positive and negative patients were not statistical difference (0.45±0.21 vs 0.54±0.31;0.46±0.15 vs 0.51± 0.24).The TIM-3 mRNA expression in pSS patients was positively correlated with serum RF and CRP (R=0.558 5,R=0.414 7,P>0.05),but was not associated the anti-SSA/SSB antibody (P=0.298 2).TIM-3 mRNA level was decreased in the patients who were treated with glucocorticoids for 2 months (0.62±0.10 vs 0.38±0.13,t=5.07,P<0.05).Conclusion TIM-3 may play a role in the pathogenesis of pSS and it may be regarded as a biomarker to pSS.

Objective to investigate the protective effect of omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion on cyclophosphamide-induced gastric mucosal injury in mice. Methods Forty-five kunming mice were randomly divided into three groups as control,model,and omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion group(with 15 mice in each group). Mice of the two experiment groups were administrated with cyclophosphamide i.p. for 2 days to establish the damage model. then mice in omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion group received omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion at a dose of 15 mL/kg daily for 14 days. Meanwhile,the ani-mals in control group and model group were intravenously administered with the same volume of saline. the weight and food intake of the mice in each group were assessed daily. Five mice in each group were respectively sacrificed at day 1,day 7,day 14 after intravenous injection. Morphology of gastric mucosa was observed by HE staining and the activities of SOD and MAO in gastric mucosa were measured respectively by xanthine oxida-tion and ultraviolet spectrophotometry methods. Results Compared with the model group,the general status,nutritional status and the injury in stomach mucosa in omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion group were significantly improved. After 14 day′s treatment,the activities of SOD and MAO in gas-tric mucosa of mice in omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion group were significantly increased(P < 0.05)compared with model group. Conclusion omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion has a significant protective effect on the cyclophosphamide induced injury in gastric mucosa of mice,which may be related to the upregulation of MAO and SOD.

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.
