International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2017;38(4):452-454
Objective To explore the expression of P53 ,Livin and PARP in epithelial ovarian cancer and its correlation with the chemotherapy resistance and clinical prognosis.Methods Seventy-four specimens of epithelial ovarian cancer confirmed by opera-tion and pathology in the gynecology department of our hospital from January 2009 to June 2011 were selected ,followed up and di-vided into chemotherapy sensitivity group and chemotherapy resistance group according to the recurrence condition.The difference of drug resistance genes ,survival rate and influencing factors of survival time were compared between the two groups.Results The positive rates of P53 ,Livin and PARP in the chemotherapy sensitivity group were 47.1% ,56.9% and 52.9% respectively ,which in the chemotherapy resistance group were 73.9% ,95.7% and 95.7% respectively ,the sensitivity rate of each item in the chemother-apy sensitivity group was lower than that in the chemotherapy resistance group (P<0.05).The median survival time in the survival rate in the chemotherapy sensitivity group was 52.0 months ,its 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 68.63% and 41.18% respec-tively ,the medium survival time in the chemotherapy resistance group was 31.5 months ,its 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 47.83% and 26.10% respectively ,the survival rate of various stages in the chemotherapy sensitivity group was higher than that in the chemotherapyresistance group ,the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05).The age ,pathological differentiation de-gree ,clinical staging and chemotherapy sensitivity degree were introduced into the Cox regression model ,the clinical staging and chemotherapy sensitivity degree had significant influence on the survival time (P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of P53 ,Livin and PARP is correlated with the chemotherapy resistance in the patients with epithelial ovarian cancer ,therefore ,which can be used to predict the chemotherapeutic effect.For the patients with high expression of drug resistance genes ,the personalized coping scheme may be given for improving the patient's prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of simulated microgravity on growth , morphology, protein expression and virulence gene expression of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN).Methods KPN was divided into simulated microgravity group and control group in the experiment .The former group was in the ambient of simulated microgravity in a clinostat .The bacterial growth curves , morphologyical changes in electron microscopy , and protein expression were detected by SELDI-TOF-MS, and the expression of 4 virulence genes(ureA,wabG,uge and fimH) by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) in both groups.Results Compared with the control group , the growth of KPN under simulated microgravity was accelerated , and the total bacterial count increased in microgravity group .The bacterial morphology in microgravity group was changed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thinner and longer bacteria were increased .The transmission electron microscopy ( TEM) analysis revealed increase in cytoplasmic granular substance in microgravity group .Proteome analysis showed that the expression of 18 proteins was changed , half of which up-regulated and the rest were down-regula-ted.Those 18 proteins were searched in the protein library .And 21 proteins of a similar molecular mass were retrieved ,13 of which,proteins with known functions ,were closely related to bacterial life activities .RT-PCR results showed that four virulence genes of KPN were down-regulated.Conclusion Upon exposure to simulated microgravity , the growth and repro-duction of KPN are accelerated and enhanced .The bacterial morphology is changed .The strain′s protein expression and four virulence genes expressionare also changed .Therefore,microgravity can change the characteristics of KPN .
