A study the quantitative measurement of DNA content in 3 normal lacrimal glands, 18 pleo-morphie adcnomas and 21 lacrimal gland carcinomas was carried out by flow eytometry. The results showed that pleomorphie adenomas still had the characteristics of DNA content of the normal diploid lacrimal gland cells. The significant increase of DNA index (DI) in pleomorphie adenomas might mean malignant transformation. DNA content of malignant tumor increased evidently and its aneuploid ratio was higher than in pleomorphic adenomas (76.2% VS 16.8%) (P

Objective To investigate the effect of small interfering RNA(siRNA)-expressing plasmid targeting connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) on the expressions of its mRNA and protein in cultured human keloid fibroblasts(hKFs).Methods Constructed siRNA-expressing plasmids targeting CTGF were transfected into hKFs by Dosper package.Then the transfected cells were treated with transforming growth factor 1(TGF-?1,10 ng/ml).Normal hKFs cells and those with TGF-?1 treatment served as normal control and control groups respectively.The expression level of CTGF mRNA and protein were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR(RQ-PCR) and Western blotting respectively.Results The expression level of CTGF mRNA was only 56.6% of that of the normal control(P

Objective To study the factor structure in rating scale of deficiency of spleen and kidney of nephrology and estimate it.Methods Factor analyse in deficiency of spleen and kidney rating scale in nephrology was made using SPSS13.0.Results The scale was composed of four factors : Pi Xv; Shen Xv; Qi Xv and other general things.Validity analyse indicated that the result was credible. Conclusion The rating scale of Pi Shen Qi Xv in nephrology has good construct validity and it can be extensively used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Osteopontin (OPN), a phosphorylated and glycosylated protein, is a prominent matricellular component of the extracellular matrix of mineralized tissues of bones and teeth, in which they can regulate the formation and growth of hydroxyapatite crystals and influence a variety of cell activities. Recent studies have reported that the expression of OPN is not only correlated with bone formation and bone resorption but also with tumor aggression and metastasis in several types of human cancer, and OPN is even considered to be an index for the diagnosis and prognosis of tumor. The roles of OPN in angiogenesis were also reviewed.
