The insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) is a key regulator of mRNA metabolism and transport during development. Recent studies indicate that IGF2BP1 is aberrantly expressed in liver cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, ovarion cancer, breast cancer, etc.. IGF2BP1 expression is found to promote tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and correlate with poor prognosis. Further understanding of the mechanism of IGF2BP1 in malignancy may provide new targeted therapy strategies.

Aim and Methods To investigate the effect of UCN-01(7-hydroxystaurosporine) on cell migration and invasion ability of DU-145, an invasive human prostate cancer cell line.Results It was found that UCN-01 at non-cytotoxic doses (100 nmol· L-1) significantly inhibited prostate cancer DU-145 cell invasion and migration behaviors.Moreover, this anti-invasion and migration activity of UCN-01 was associated with an up-regulation of cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin. Conclusion These results indicate for first time that UCN-01 inhibits the invasion and migration of human prostate cancer cells.Thus, clinical application of UCN-01 may contribute to the potential benefit for suppression of prostate cancer invasion and metastasis.

Objective To study early face processing of mild cognitive impairment patients by using ERP method．Methods Sixteen healthy old man(normal group)and sixteen mild cognitive impairment patients(MCI group)served as subjects in experiment．Two runs of 300 stimuli(duration：50ms)of 3 facial and 3 non-facial pictures were randomly presented with equal probability(ISI：from 1000ms to 1500ms randomly)，and the subjects were asked to react to facial stimuli and non-facial stimuli by pressing the left button and risht button respectively as quickly as possible．Thirty-two channels electroencephalogram(EEG)Was recorded by Neuroscan Nuamps Systern．Results 1)Specific-face component N170 was found in both groups．Which was distributed at the temporal-occipital region．2)Compared with N170 in normal group，N170 amplitude Was significantly lower((-4．42±0．28)Μv vs(-7．00±0．28)Μv，F=41．52，P<0．01)at temporal-occipital region and delayed((158．91±2．17)ms vs(140．97±2．17)ms，F=34．09，P<0．01) in mild cognitive impairment group．Conclusion The early face processing mechanism of mild cognitive impairment patients may be different from normal people．

Objective:To investigate the principle and measures of prevention and treatment on pancreatic fistula due to pancreatic injury.Method:The clinical data of 131 pancreatic injury patients were analyzed retrospectively.Operation and combined therapy during perioperative were performed.Results:Among 35 cases(26.7%,35/131) with pancreatic fistula,3 cases shaped internal fistula showed by visualization and cured spontaneously after operations,9 cases with pancreatic pseudocyst after operations were treated by Roux-en-Y pancreatic cystojejunostomy,2 cases(5.7%,2/35) died of MODS and abdominal infections.The rest were recovered.The follow-up from 3 months to 5 years showed that there were no cases died of complications related to pancreatic fistula.Conclusions:Operation combined with multiple therapies was effective in the prevention and treatment of pancreatic fistula.

Objective: To review the effect of the treatment of maxillofacial and cervical tumor with external cervical atery intervention technique(ECAI). Methods: 92 cases of maxillofacial and cervical tumor were treated with ECAI. Therapeutic embolization was conducted in 30 cases, arteroy perfusion in 42 and opacification in 20. The patients were cared psycologically befor operation, monitored carefully in operation, especially for contrast medium responsing, antitumor drug responsing,embolisming responsing, etc. Results: Permanent embolization was achieved in 5 cases of hemangioma, bleeding was reduced by 75% in 25 cases treated with subsidiary embolization, local and general condition was improved in 32 patients with malignant tumor by perfusion of antitumor drug. Accuration of angiography was achieved in 93% of the cases. Complications were found in 7 cases and cured after treatment but in 1 who died of cerebrovascular disease. Conclusion: Perioperative monitoring is important to eliminate complications of ECAI.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of pancreatic head resection with the second portion duodenectomy (PHRSPD). MethodsThe clinical data of 4 PHRSPD cases were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThere were 3 benign and 1 low-grade malignant periampullary tumors. The mean surgical time was 417 min, mean blood transfusion was 533 ml, mean hospital stay was 28.6 days. Delayed gastric emptying was encounted in one case. There was no hospital morality or major surgical complications. All cases were alive in the follow-up ranging from 6 to 36 months. There was no newly developed diabetes mellitus or severe gastroenteral symptoms. No reccurrence was found in the case with low-grade malignant duodenal tumor after 26 months. ConclusionsPHRSPD is an efficient way to treat benign and low-grade periampullary neoplasm and accompanying massive bleeding episodes.

Objective To investigate the effect of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase(PAF-AH) on(severe) acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods Forty-five male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups(n=15 in each group),including group A(sham operation group),group B(SAP group) and group C(PAF-AH treated group).PAF-AH(5mg/kg) was infused through the dorsal artery of penis after 1 hour and 24 hours of establishing the model in group C.Forty-eight hours after animal models were established,the levels of maleic dialdehyde(MDA),thromboxane B2(TXB_2),prostaglandin I2(PGI_2),TXB_2/PGI_2,(platelet)-activating factor(PAF),endotoxin,tumor necrosis factor(TNF-?) in serum,and the activity of(myeloperoxidase)(MPO) in lung tissue were examined in each group.The pancreas was scored on the basis of pathological changes.Results Compared with group B,the levels of MDA,TXB_2,TXB_2/PGI_2,PAF,(endotoxin),TNF-? in serum,and MPO activity in lung tissue and the pathological scores of pancreas were(significantly) lower in group C(P0.05).Conclusions PAF plays a critical role during the course of SAP.(Administration) of PAF-AH can hydrolyze PAF,improve pancreatic microcirculatory dysfunction,suppress(systemic) inflammatory reaction,relieve pancreatitis-associated intestinal tract injury and lung injury and(markedly) ameliorate the state of SAP.

Objective To study the nuclear protein association of high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1),and the effect of interaction on radiosensitivity in human breast cancer cells.Methods The protein-protein interaction was determined by immunoprecipitationWestern blot and glutathione-S-transferase capture assays.Cell growth was examined by MTT (methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium)assay and clonogenic assay.Histone deacetylase activity was analyzed by histone deacetylase assay.Results A significant increase of HMGB1 protein and radiosensitivity was observed in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells transfected with a pCMV-Tag2B expression vector carrying with a full-length of HMGB1 cDNA.HMGB1 binding to HDAC1 was demonstrated as GST (glutathione Stransferase)-pull down and immunoprecipitation Western blot assay,and the association was elevated by irradiation.An LXCXE motif was required for the HMGB1-HADC1 interaction and HMGB1 radiosensitization.A significant difference of IC50 value was observed,for example,1.8 and 2.2 Gy (wtHMGB1 transfectants,P ＜ 0.05),3.6 and 3.8 Gy (HMGB1/C103F transfectants,P ＞ 0.05),both compared with 3.9 and 4.1 Gy (pCMV-Tag2B transfectants) in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells,respectively.A specific HDAC1 inhibitor trichostatin A markedly reduced the HMGB1-mediated radiosensitivity,0.5 Gy in the presence of trichostatin A versus 1.8 Gy in absence of trichostatin A in MDA-MB-231 transfectants,1.2 Gy (with trichostatin A) versus 2.2 Gy (without trichostatin A) in MDA-MB-468 transfectants,P ＜ 0.05.Histone deacetylase activity was also detected in immunoprecipitates prepared from these cells with antibodies to HMGB1,and this activity was abolished by the histone trichostatin A.Conclusions These results suggest a previous unanticipated role for HDAC1 in modification of HMGB1-mediated radiosensitivity by its direct interaction with HMGB1.

Objective To analyze the clinical factors predicting long-term survival after curative resection of pancreatic head carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of pancreatic head who underwent curative resection of carcinoma of pancreatic head from 1996 to 2004 were collected and were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 with Cox Proportional Hazards Model. Results 58 patients, including 30 male and 28 female patients, were involved in this study. Pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed in 14 cases and extended resections were performed in 44 cases. The overall 1, 3, 5 year survival rates was 46.6%, 29.3% and 8.6%, respeclively. The 1,3, 5 year survival rates of pancreatoduodenectomy with extended regional lymphadenectomy was 43.1%, 22.7% and 6.8%, respectively. UICC staging, peri-pancreatic nerve invasion and blood infusion had significant effects on the prognosis after curative resection. Conclusions The long-term prognosis after curative resection of pancreatoduodenectomy was still dismal. Much importance should be paid to early diagnosis and comprehensive management for pancreatic head cancer.
