Objective To study the relationship between the expression of human Stanniocalcin-1(hSTC-1) mRNA in the peripheral blood from patients with colorectal cancer and its malignant behavior. Methods RT-PCR was used to detect hSTC-1 mRNA in the peripheral blood from 57 patients with colorectal cancer. The peripheral blood from 14 patients with gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases, 15 healthy volunteers and 5 pregnant women were served as controls. Results The positive rate of hSTC-1 mRNA in 57 patients with colorectal cancer was 49.12% (28/57), and the mRNA expression of hSTC-1 was significantly related with the clinical stage of colon cancer (P

AIM: To investigate the effect of microRNA (miR)-30c on the viability and migratory ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by targeting plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1).METHODS:The HUVECs were transfected with miR-30c mimic and inhibitor or negative control (NC), and then the expression levels of miR-30c, PAI-1 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The viability and migratory ability of HUVECs were measured by CCK-8 assay and wound healing test .After bioinformatic analysis, the assessment of miR-30c binding to PAI-1 3’-UTR was carried out using a luciferase reporter gene assay .RESULTS:miR-30c directly down-regu-lated PAI-1 levels by binding to the 3’ UTR seed sequence of PAI-1 mRNA.Furthermore, transfection of a miR-30c mimic down-regulated the expression of PAI-1 at mRNA and protein levels, leading to enhanced migratory ability and viability of the HUVECs.However, transfection of a miR-30c inhibitor up-regulated the expression of PAI-1 at mRNA and protein le-vels, leading to decreased migratory ability and viability .CONCLUSION:Regulation of miR-30c level changes the migra-tory ability and viability of HUVECs by affecting the PAI-1 expression, indicating the involvement of miR-30c in modulating endothelial function .

Objective To study the role of deleted in liver cancer-1 (DLC-1) gene main domains on the regulation of human colon cancer HT29 cell proliferation.Methods Subcloning recombinant plasmid vectors with Rho GTPase activating protein (RhoGAP),sterile alpha motif (SAM) or steroidogenic acute regulatory-related lipid-transfer (START) domains of DLC-1 gene knockout were constructed and transfected into human colon cancer cell HT29.Wild HT29 cell group (control group),pcDNA3.1-HT29 cell group (vector group) and pcDNA3.1-HT29-DLC-1 cell group (whole DLC-1 gene transfected group) were set as control.The change of cell proliferation was detected by methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and colony formation test.The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The activity of RhoA protein was detected by pull-down assay.The differences between the groups were analyzed by the analysis of variance.Results At 48 hours after the successful transfection,compared with control group and vector group,cells proliferation and the activity of RhoA protein were significantly suppressed in whole DLC-1 gene transfected group (F=146.36,698.08,both P＜0.05) and early cell apoptosis increased (F=294.08,P＜0.05).Compared with control group and vector group,there was no significant difference in cell proliferation ability,cell apoptosis and the activity of RhoA protein activity in RhoGAP knockout transfected cells (F=0.99,0.049,5.769,all P＞0.05).Compared with whole DLC-1 gene transfected group,the suppression of cell proliferation was more significant in SAM knockout transfected cells (F=31.00,P＜0.05),the activity of RhoA protein down regulated (F=92.57,P＜0.05) and apoptosis increased (F=130.44,P＜0.05).Compared with whole DLC-1 gene transfected group,the ability of cell proliferation increased (F=15.47,P＜0.05),apoptosis cell decreased (F＝110.23,P＜0.05) and the activity of RhoA protein up regulated (F=199.39,P＜0.05) in START knockout transfected cells.Conclusions The role of DLC-1 gene in the suppression of cell proliferation in HT29 cells was RhoGAP-dependent.SAM domain may be the self suppression domain for endogenous RhoGAP activity.START domain may take effect through enhancing RhoGAP domain.

Objective To explore the correlation of the distance between anastomosis and dentate line in patients with severe circumferential prolapsed haemorrhoids treated by stapled haemorrhoidectomy with the patients' postoperative clinical manufestival score, and assess its value in the choice of anastomosis site in stapled haemorrhoidectomy. Methods One hundred and six patients with severe circumferential prolapsed haemorrhoids was treated by stapled haemorrhoidectomy. The distance between anastomosis and dentate line was documented during the operation, effect of the treatment and complications were also documented postoperatively. All above-mentioned data were analysed statisticaly by one-way ANOVA and ridit test.Results Four groups were established in 106 patients according to the distance between anastomosis and dentate line. Patients with distance less than 1.0cm were defined as group A, between 1.0 cm and 1.5 cm as group B, between 1.5 cm and 2.0 cm as group C, more than 2.0 cm as group D. Concerning the postoperative incontinence score, satisfaction index and complications such as haemorrhage,ederma of anal everage,residal skin-tags, there was no significant difference between all groups. But there was significant difference between four groups in score of pain. Conclusions Patients with severe circumferential prolapsed haemorrhoids treated by Stapled haemorrhoidectomy tend to have good clinical outcome. The appropriate distance between anastomosis and dentate line should be chosed by the status of prolapsed haemorrhoids.

Objective To explore the toxicity and safety of 32P-CP-PLLA seeds interstitial implantation. Methods 30 beagle dogs were randomly divided into 10 groups according to different drugs (32P-CP-PLLA and 32P-CP),different doses (185, 370 and 740 MBq) and different sites (gluteus and liver). At different time-points after surgery, the weights of dogs were measured. The blood routine and blood biochemical indexes,PC Ⅲ ,HA,CG,PCⅣ and LN were examined. ECT imaging was performed and histology was observed dynamically. Blood, urine and faeces were measured continuously for 12 weeks and 30 days, respectively. Results ECT imaging demonstrated in seed groups and 32P-CP muscle groups radioactivity concentrated continuously in the area of implantation, without liver imaging. 471.67 MBq/m2 of 32 P-CP was injected in liver,while the absorbed dose was 31 Gy,without significant liver damage. When the dose was 794. 28 MBq/m2 , the absorbed dose was 56 Gy,with strong liver and systemic toxicity. But implanting seeds at the same or higher dose, the absorbed dose was 89.83-178.68 Gy in the area of implantation, and the rest liver was 1.09-2. 18 Gy,without liver damage. Dogs in liver group died at 23, 29 and 45 d, respectively, and the inspections of liver fibrosis were higher than the means of the other groups.Blood routine and blood biochemistry indexes between the other groups showed no significant differences.Effective half-life of 32P-CP-PLLA was 11.78 d, while that of 32P-CP was 6. 82 d in liver, and 8. 73 d in gluteus. Mild to moderate injury were found in liver group at 4 weeks. Moderate to serious injury were found. Liver cell necrosis and proliferation were found at 4-6 weeks in other liver groups. In muscle groups,only cellular edema was found in muscle groups at 2 week. The radioactivity count rate in blood for seed groups showed slowly jagged decreasing over time, and decreased exponentially for 32PCP groups. The radioactivity count rate in urine and faeces were multi-peak descending in seed groups. Conclusions 32P-CP-PLLA seeds have the advantages of suitable target location, degradable, non-migration and easy to protection, and it could be used in treatment for different blood supply types of solid tumors. Liver of beagle dog could endure the dose from 32 P-CP-PLLA seed twice as 32P-CP lethal dose.

Objective To explore the effect of anti-retroviral therapy on interleukin(IL)-7/IL-7R in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) infected patients in China.Methods Cases were divided into 2 groups:HIV-infected group (35 cases),and control group (30 cases).IL-7 in serum,IL-7R(CD127) expression in CD4 +T cells,and CD4 +T cells count were detected and compared between two groups before and after treatment for 1 year.Results IL-7 level in the serum of HIV infected group before treatment [(8.98 ±3.77) pg/ml] was significantly higher than that in control group [(3.84 ±0.86) pg/ml] (P ＜0.05).The counts of CD4+T cells [(202.65 ± 121.54)/μl],CD4 + CD127 + T cells [(60.25 ± 11.75) ％],and CD8 + CD127 + T cells [(46.27 ± 12.10)％] in HIV-infected group were significantly lower than those in control group [(766.99 ± 103.21)/L,(76.89 ± 20.01) ％,(81.27 ± 12.35)％] (P ＜0.05).After anti-retroviral therapy (ART),IL-7 level in the serum of HIV-infected group[(5.55 ± 1.35) pg/ml]was decreased,and CD4+T cells [(450.58 ± 15)/μl],CD4 + CD127 +T cells [(69.82 ± 15.24)％],and [CD8 + CD127 + T(59.23± 14.73) ％] cells was increased in HIV-infected group,with a significant difference between two groups (P ＜0.05).Conclusions ART could improve the IL-7 level in the serum and IL-7R(CD127)expression in CD4 +T cells of HIV-infected patients.However,they still cannot become normal level.

Objective To explore the efficacy and side effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with different CD4+ cell counts.Methods The clinical data of HIV-infected patients who accepted TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) + 3TC (lamivudine) + EFV (efavirenz) treatment were retrospectively collected in Jiangmen region.All patients were divided into group A(350/μl ≤ CD4 + ＜ 500/μ1),group B (200/μl ≤ CD4 + ＜ 350/μl) and group C(CD4+ ＜ 200/μl)according to their CD4+ cell counts.The efficacy and side effects in different groups were compared.Results A total of 132 clinical cases was collected,including 32 cases in group A,42 cases in group B,and 58 cases in group C.No statistically difference was found among three groups in terms of gender,age,or route of transmission.CD4 + cell counts after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment in each group (P ＜ 0.05).The increase of CD4 + cell counts in groups A,B,and C was 75.6 ± 52.1,80.5 ± 58.7,and 97.5 ± 78.7 after 6-month HAART,respectively ; and 71.4 ± 58.9,110.8 ± 71.6,and 113.7 ± 88.3 after 12-month HAART,respectively.Statistical analysis showed no significant difference among three groups (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of side effects in groups A,B,and C was 4/32,14/42,and 32/58 in 3-month HAART,respectively; and 1/32,8/42,and 22/58 in 3 ～ 12 month HAART,respectively.Statistical analysis showed significant difference among three groups (group C ＞ group B ＞ group A,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions It was effective to begin the anti-retroviral treatment in all stages.The incidence of side effects may be less if anti-retroviral treatment began in early period.

Objective To explore the possibility and safety of ~(32)P-colloidal chromic phosphate interstitial injection.Methods Ten Beagle dogs were randomly divided into 5 groups (n ＝ 2) according to different doses (185 and 370 MBq) ,different sites (gluteus maximus and liver) and cold colloid as a control group.At different time-points after surgery,the weights of dogs were measured,and the blood and blood biochemical inspections were examined.ECT imaging was performed and histomorphology was observed dynamically.The radioactive counts of body surface for 90 days,blood for 12 weeks and urine and feces for 30 days were measured continuously.Measured data were expressed by mean ±standard error ((x) ±s) and SPSS 13.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results ECT imaging demonstrated that the whole liver imaging was obtained although the radioactive distribution was uneven in liver groups,and the radioactivity concentrated continuously in the area of injection,but no liver imaging in muscle groups.Dogs in group 4 lost weight progressively and reduced by 2.7 kg till 45 d after operation.While the mean weight increments in the other groups were 3.0,1.6,0.8 and 3.1 kg in order.In group 4,PLT and RBC reduced obviously.Dogs died at 23 or 45 d.AST and ALT were elevated sharply before death.In the other groups,blood and blood biochemistry inspection showed there were no significant statistical differences.The highest radioactive counts after operation were obtained from the injection spot,while the urinary bladder and the spleen were followed.The peak of blood cpm in liver groups presented at 5 min.Peak values were 0.5 × 10~7/min and 1.0 × 10~7/min,respectively.The blood cpm in the muscle groups was always maintained at 3 × l0~5/min.Histology study showed the hyperemia dropsy changes in muscle groups and 185 MBq liver group in 4 weeks,while after 8 weeks the organizational structure restored normally.There were partial liver cells necrosis in 4 weeks,and the massive liver cells balloon type changes in 6 weeks,as well as obvious hyperemia dropsy and the hepatic lobe structure unclear in 370 MBq liver group.For the radioactive counts of urine and excrement,the peak appeared at 13 and 12 d respectively,and the peak values were (42.0 ±3.3) × 10~4 and (29.6 ±4.5) ×10~4 /min in muscle groups,respectively ;while the peak appeared at 5 and 9 d,respectively and the peak values were (49.0 ± 10.2) × 10~4 and (28.5 ± 7.1) × 10~4 /min in liver groups,respectively.Cumulative excretion ratios in urine and excrement were 36.58% and 10.62% in muscle groups,respectively and 23.48% and 8.76% in liver groups till 30 d,respectively.The liver absorbed doses were 30.6 and 55.6 Gy in liver groups,while those were 2.3 and 6.5 Gy in muscle groups.The maximus absorbed doses of gluteus were 53.4 and 98.1 Gy in muscle groups.Conclusions When ~(32)P- colloidal chromic phosphate of 794.39 MBq/m~2 was injected into the liver of Beagle,the liver absorbed dose was 56 Gy,which could be lethal dose for its strong liver toxicity and systemic side effects.Injection of 463.98-772.93 MBq/m~2 in muscle of Beagle could be safe.~(32) P-colloidal chromic phosphate interstitial injection is secure to treat the solid tumors with poor and middle blood supply which could be reached by puncture.
