Objective To evaluate the validity and predictive value of CAP specific IgE test system.Methods Five allergen-specific IgEs,i.e.,specific IgE to mites,mugwort pollens,hop pollens,cat epithelium and dander,and Alternaria alternate,were tested in selected randomly allergic and non-allergic patients by using CAP system.Results In 957 tests the sensitivity of specific IgE to the 5 allergens was 99.0%,97.9%,91.7%,93.5% and 85.5%,and the specificity was 96.2%,95.8%,93.0%,97.0% and 91.7%.The positive and negative predictive values were greater than 94% and 80% respectively.Conclusion CAP system is of great potential value for diagnosis of allergens.

The morbidity and mortality of gastric cancer stand in the first place among all kinds of malignant tumours in our country,the early diagnosis rate is still very low and the prognosis is unsatisfactory also.The expression of CD133 probably as a tumour stem cell marker is significantly higher in gastric cancer primary lesion than that in normal tissue and its higher expression corelates with the larger size of tumor,lymph node metastasis occurences and poorer prognosis.Meanwhile,the positive expression of CD133 may have some relationship with the angiogenesis,severer infiltration depth,worse differentiation degree and later TNM stage of gastric cancer.This paper aims at further recongnizing the specific expression of CD133 in gastric cancer primary lesion,both the relationship with initiating and clinical pathological features of gastric cancer,so as to bring a new research direction for early diagnosis and targeted therapy of stomach cancer.

Objective:To compare 2 position implant-supported molar distalization systems in clinical application.Methods:25 pa-tients with Class II and mild to moderate crowding dentition were included,18 females and 7 males,aged 15 to 29 years old(22.58 on average ).All the patients were treated with non-extraction method by distalizing the upper molar with micro-implant anchorage.In ex-perimental group(n =12)the micro-implants were inserted on infrazygomatic crest above the maxillary first molar mesial buccal root. In control group(n =13)the micro-implants were inserted on buccal alveolar bone between maxillary second premolar and maxillary first molar.In both groups micro-implants were inserted to distalize the maxillary molars.The displacement patterns of maxillary inci-sors and molars were measured and compared.Results:Successful primary micro-implant placement was obtained in 87.5%(21 /24) of the implantation in control group and 100%(26 /26)in experimental group.The distal movement(mm)of the molars in control and experiment group was 2.29 ±0.96 and 2.91 ±0.96 respectively(P >0.05).Experimental group showed significant intrusive displace-ment of the molars.Horizontal incisor displacement in experimental group was more than that in control group.Conclusion:Micro-im-plant inserted in infrazygomatic crest may facilitate intrusion and distalization of the maxillary molar and incisor.

Objective To compare the inhibition effects of three synthesized fragments used in small interfering RNA(siRNA) against CD133 gene in KATO-Ⅲ gastric cancer cells,and to study effects of suppressed CD133 on the proliferating ability of intervened cells.Methods Three fragments of siRNA were designed and synthesized targeted at the mRNA of CD133.Cell fluorescence counting under confocal laser scanning microscope was used to determine the transfection efficiency after transfection with the CD133FITC-siRNA.The knock-down effect of the CD133 gene was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting.CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8 assay) was performed to measure the variation of the cell proliferative viability after the above-mentioned treatment.Results The transfection efficiency of siRNA was (85 ± 8) ％ in KATO Ⅲ Gastric cacer cell.All these three fragments of CD133 siRNA effectively inhibited the expression of CD133 gene,the inhibition rate being (11 ± 2) ％,(19 ± 2) ％,(24 ± 3) ％respectively.Compared with the control group,the cell proliferation viability was restrained (42 ± 4)％ in CD133siRNA-3 group (P ＜0.05).Conclusions CD133siRNAs were successfully transfected into KATO Ⅲ Gastric cacer cells and repressed the expression of CD133.Meanwhile,the CD133siRNA fragment 3 was screened from three CD133 siRNA,which has the best inhibition effect.The results provide preliminary evidence for the intereference of CD133+ gastric cancer cells subsequently.

Objective To investigate the biological effect of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) under the treatment of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 on the human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 in vitro,and to observe whether the TGF-β1 can generate the tumor initiating cells ability in SGC7901 or not.Methods SGC7901 cells were cultured with TGF-β1.The morphological change was observed.The effect on proliferation of SGC7901 cells was detected by CCK-8.The invasion assay was used to investigate the motility and the invasion ability of SGC7901 cells.Immuofluorescence was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin.The mRNA and protein's expression levels of EMT-related factors and CD44 were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively.Results TGF-β1 induced morphological alterations from epithelial to mesenchymal cells.The proliferation of SGC7901 cells was inhibited,and the ability of motility and invasion of SGC7901 cells were greatly enhanced after being treated with TGF-β1.RT-PCR and Western blotting showed that the expression of Snail (P ＜ 0.05),N-cadherin (P ＜ 0.05) and CD44 (P ＜ 0.05) were significantly increased while the expression of E-cadherin was decreased (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions TGF-β1 can generate the EMT.The CD44 expression was up-regulated.TGF-β1 can inhibit the proliferation and promote the motility and invasion ability of SGC7901 cells.

Objective: To investigate the influence of CD133+expression on patients' survival and resistance of CD133+cells to anti-tumor agents in gastric cancer (GC).
Methods: Influence of CD133 expression on prognosis was analyzed employing sam-ples from patients with GC. GC cell lines were utilized to separate CD133+and CD133?subpopulations by immunomagnetic separation and to analyze the biological features of two subpopulations in vitro and in vivo, especially in resistant to anti-tumor reagents and its apoptotic mechanism.
Results: The lower CD133+group showed a significantly better survival compared with the higher CD133+group. The highest content of CD133+subpopulations for KATO-III cells had stronger proliferative ability than CD133?subpopulations. A single CD133+cell was capable of generating new cell colony and the tumorigenicity rate in nude mice was 100% for CD133+ clonal spheres or for CD133+ cells, but 0% for CD133? cells. Furthermore, the higher expression levels of Oct-4, Sox-2, Musashi-1 and ABCG2 in CD133+ clonal spheres were identified compared with CD133+ cells or CD133? cells. Under the treatment of anti-tumor reagents, CD133+ cells had lower suppression rates compared with CD133? cells while lower level of Bcl-2 and higher level of Bax were found in CD133+cells compared with CD133?cells.
Conclusions: The patients with lower CD133+expression had a better survival. Enriched CD133+ cells in clonal sphere shared the ability to be self-renewable, proliferative, tumorigenic and resistant to anti-tumor agents as probably regulated by Bcl-2 and Bax.
