Objective To investigate the relationship between the blood pressure in subjects with impaired glucose relation and the first-phase insulin secretion.Methods The oral glucose tolerance test was performed in 126 subjects who were divided into normal blood pressure group higher blood pressure group and hypertension group.The beta-cell function was calculated by HOMA-IR and △I30/△G30.Results ①The BMI and WHR were significantly higher in hypertension group.The serum level of lipids was changed in higher blood pressure and hypertension groups.② The fasting plasma insulin level,60、120 minutes insulin level after oral 75 game glucose were significantly higher in hypertension group.③ The HOMA-IR was significantly higher in higher blood pressure and hypertension groups,with more higher in hypertension group.④ The △I30/△G30 was significantly decrease in hypertension group.There are no different in other groups.Conclusion The higher blood pressure,the more severe insulin resistance,the more decrease first-phase insulin secretion.

This study was designed to determine the effects of the recombinant adeno-associated virus vector containing sense CD151 gene (rAAV-CD151) and antisense CD151 gene (rAAV-antiCD151) on the migration of Tca8113 cell. Functional fragment of CD151 gene was amplified by RT-PCR, and inserted into the vector pAAV in the sense direction and antisense direction, respectively. The rAAV-CD151 and rAAV-antiCD151 were produced and the titers were determined by dot blot. The CD151, at protein level, was detected by Western blot. The Transwell chamber was used to detect the effects of the rAAV-CD151 and rAAV-antiCD151 on the tumor cell migration. The titers of the rAAV-CD151 and rAAV-antiCD151 were 2 x 10(11) pfu/ml and 1.0 x 10(11) pfu/ml, respectively. The expression of CD151 was increased by 108% in the cells transfected with rAAV-CD151 and decreased by 79% in the cells transfected with rAAV-antiCD151, as compared with non-transfected cells, respectively. The number of the migrating cells was significantly increased in the cells transfected with rAAV-CD151 (93.56 +/- 11.59) and decreased in the cells transfected with rAAV-antiCD151 (24.00 +/- 4.36) as compared with non-transfected and rAAV-GFP transfected cells (53.00 +/- 6.56 and 46.00 +/- 7.00, P<0.05). It is an important molecular mechanism of the tumor metastasis that the overexpression of CD151 promotes the migration of the tumor cells. The rAAV-antiCD151 is a novel tool, which can reduce the expression of CD151 and inhibit the migration of the tumor cells, and brings us a new approach of anti-sene gene therapy targeted at CD151 in human carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, histogenesis, immunophenotypes and molecular genetic features of primary intraosseous Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) for improving diagnostic accuracy and differential diagnosis.Methods:This retrospective study included 14 RDD cases diagnosed from January 2009 to January 2019 at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, China. The immunohistochemical staining for S-100, cyclin D1, CD1a and CD207 expression was analyzed. The BRAF V600E and KRAS mutation analyses were performed using the Scorpions amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results:There were 6 female and 8 male patients, aged from 2 to 64 years (mean 31.4 years). All of the 14 cases occurred in the bone without lymph node disease, while one patient developed additional lesions within vertebra and nasal cavity. Radiographically, the lesions were lytic with sclerotic margins. Histologically, the lesions percolated through the medullary cavity in an infiltrative fashion and alternating hyper- and hypo-cellular regions of histiocytic clusters (seen as alternating dark and light zones at low magnification). Large histiocytes also showed emperipolesis. Some cases had areas of fibrosis and dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates. There were vasculitis and an increased number of plasma cells in the cases involving multiple sites. One case showed concurrence of RDD and Langerhans cell histiocytosis(LCH) with inconspicuous increase of Langerhans histiocytes. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the large histiocytes were positive for S-100, CD68 and CD163 in all cases. The nuclear immunoreactivity for cyclin D1 was observed in 13 of the 14 cases. S-100, CD1a and CD207 were positive in the case with concurrence of RDD and LCH. ARMS-PCR results showed that BRAF V600E mutation was observed in the cases with concurrence of RDD and LCH, while there were no KRAS mutations (7/7). Follow-up information was available for 12 patients and ranged from 9 to 49 months. Three of the 12 patients experienced recurrences after the first surgery.Conclusions:Primary intraosseous RDD is rare, and its concurrence with LCH is a very rare phenomenon. Its clinical symptoms, imaging, and pathological manifestations need to be distinguished from other bone lesions. The molecular detection of BRAF V600E and the nuclear expression of cyclin D1 mutations can be used for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of RDD.

Objective To observe the effects and regulatory mechanism of rotavirus infection on the expression and bioactivity of Na+/H+exchanger 3 (NHE3) on Caco-2 cells. Methods A cell model of Caco-2 cells expressing NHE3 was constructed. Four groups were set up,which were control(CTL) group, rotavirus(RV) infection group, Cdc42 inhibitor (Pirl-1) group and Pirl-1+RV group. Bioactivity and ex-pression of NHE3 on the surface of Caco-2 cells were determined by BCECF-AM and biotinylation method, respectively. Expression of Cdc42 protein was measured by Western blot. Co-immunoprecipitation was per-formed to detect the interaction between NHE3 and Cdc42. Results Compared with the CTL group,RV in-fection significantly inhibited the bioactivity and expression of NHE3 on Caco-2 cells. These inhibitory effects were antagonized by Pirl-1. Moreover,RV infection enhanced the expression of Cdc42 protein and promoted the interaction between NHE3 and Cdc42, which were also antagonized by Pirl-1. Conclusion RV infec-tion might regulate the expression and bioactivity of NHE3 through Cdc42-dependent endocytosis pathway.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of detecting MDM2 gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in low-grade osteosarcoma (LGOS).Methods:Thirty cases of parosteal osteosarcoma (POS) and 14 cases of low-grade central osteosarcoma (LGCOS) from April 2009 to August 2022 at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University were analyzed for the presence of MDM2 gene amplification by FISH. Fifty-eight additional cases were used as negative controls (including 28 cases of fibrous dysplasia, 5 cases of giant cell tumor, 4 cases of conventional osteosarcoma, 2 cases each of periosteal osteosarcoma, reparative changes after fracture, pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, low grade myofibroblastic sarcoma, fibrous dysplasia with malignant transformation, one case each of leiomyosarcoma, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, desmoplastic fibroma of bone, solitary fibrous tumor, aneurysmal bone cyst, clear cell chondrosarcoma, osteofibrous dysplasia, and 3 cases of unclassified spindle cell tumor).Results:Among the 30 patients with POS, 15 were male and 15 were female, ranging in age from 10 to 59 years (mean 35 years, median 30.5 years). Among the 14 patients with LGCOS, four were male and 10 were female, ranging in age from 15 to 56 years (mean 37 years, median 36 years). All except one case were successfully detected by FISH. MDM2 gene amplification was detected in 27 cases of POS (27/29,91.3%) and 8 cases of LGCOS (8/14). All the negative controls were negative for MDM2 gene amplification. The positive rate of MDM2 gene amplification was significantly different between the case group and the control group ( P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of MDM2 gene amplification in diagnosing POS and LGCOS were 91.3% and 100.0%; and 57.1% and 100.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of MDM2 gene amplification in diagnosing LGOS (including POS and LGCOS) were 81.3% and 100.0%, respectively. In cases where MDM2 gene was amplified, the MDM2 amplified signal was clustered. Nine cases showed increased CEP12 signal different from polyploidy which was displayed as small and weak signal points or cloud flocculent and cluster signals. Conclusions:Detection of MDM2 gene amplification by FISH is a highly sensitive and specific marker for LGOS. The interpretation criteria for FISH detection of MDM2 amplification are currently not unified. The signal characteristics need more attention when interpreting.
