Cadherins that mediate the adhesion of the same type of cells by specific binding to calciumdependent adhesions of the same type with cadherins mainly consist of three subtypes including E-cadberin,P-cadherin and N-cadherin.In recent years,more and more studies have indicated that cadherins are closely related to triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)and play an important role in prognosis and treatment of TNBC.

Objective: To study the effect of combining bcr-abl Aspo and c-myb Aspo on K562 cells. Methods: Cellswere exposed to oligomers. Cell inhibitory rate was determined by typan blue dye exclusion. CFU-K562 cells were culturedin 0.8% methyleellulose. P210 was measured by flow cytometry. Cellular bcr-abl mRNA was detected by RT-PCR semiquantitative analysis. Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry and observed by electron microscope. Results: When the concentration of both bcr-abl Aspo and c-myb Aspo was 5 μmol/L, K562 cells were still growth in clone state. The growth inhibitory rate was 61.7% at 120 h. P210 was depressed at 24 h and went up to 25.7% at 120 h. The apoptosis rate was 22.5%. While K562 cells were dealt with 10 μmol/L bcr-abl Aspo and 10 μmol/L c-myb Aspo, the cells were growth in dispersal. The cell growth inhibitory rate reached to 92.2% and 64.3% of K562 cells were induced to apoptosisat 120 h. P210 was complelely depressed untill 120 h. The decrease of bcr-abl mRNA was from 69.2% to 85.3% after incubation 48 h with 5 μmol/L Aspo and 10 mol/L. Conclusion: It emerges coordination to combine bcr-abl Aspo and c-myb Aspo on K562 cells, and enhances the anti-leukemia effect.

Objective To investigate whether serum miRNA-720 and miRNA-484 can be used as non-invasive biomarkers of colon cancer.Methods Real time-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expressions of miRNA-720 and miRNA-484 in serum from 104 colon cancer patients(divided intoⅠ~Ⅱ-stage group andⅢ~Ⅳ-stage group)compared with 60 ad-ditional healthy controls.ROC curve was performed to analyse the diagnostic usefulness of both miRNAs distinguishing be-tween different stages of colon cancer patients.Results Compared with healthy controls,the miRNA-720 was upregulated close to 2 times inⅠ~Ⅱ-stage group (t=1.997,P<0.05),and was upregulated about 3 times inⅢ~Ⅳ-stage group (t=2.133,P<0.05).The miRNA-484 was downregulated almost 2 times inⅠ~Ⅱ-stage group (t=2.585,P<0.05),but was upregulated over 3 times in Ⅲ~Ⅳ-stage group (t=3.416,P<0.01).The area under the ROC curve (AUC)for the diag-nosis of colon cancer were 0.76 (95%CI:0.67~0.86)and 0.79 (95%CI:0.69~0.89)respectively.The combined use of both miRNAs could make the AUC up to 0.87 (95%CI:0.77~0.96).Conclusion Serum miRNA-720 and miRNA-484 can be used as non-invasive biomarkers to diagnose early colon cancer.They can also distinguish between different stages of co-lon cancer patients.

53 male Wistar rats were divided into three groups, i.e. experimental ulcer group, saline control group and normal control group. The antral tissues were prepared for immunohistochemical staining at 4th, 10th, 14th, 21st and 28th days after operation. Sternberger's PAP method was used to demonstrate the gastrin cells (G cells) and somatostatin cells (D cells)in the antral mucosa in order to observe their changes during experimental gastric ulcer. The morphological relationships of G cells and D cells were examined by simultaneous double immunostaining method.The results indicated that the G cells count as well as D cells count in the antral mucosa was increased (P

AIM:To study the effects of Se-methylselenocysteine(MSC) on the growth and apoptosis of human liver carcinoma cell line,HepG_2 cells and the molecular mechanism of effects.METHODS: After HepG_2 cells treated with various concentrations of MSC,survival and apoptosis were determined by MTT assay and light microscope,apoptosis and cell cycle were determined by flow cytometry.Malignant phenotype was determined by soft agarose growth assay.Cyclin D1 mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR and Caspase-3 activity was measured by Caspase-3 activity assay kit.RESULTS: After being treated with 25(?mol?L~(-1)) MSC for 24 h,the survival of HepG_2 cells was decreased,a marked apoptosis and S phase arrest characteristic was observed in time-and dose-dependent manner.Soft agatose growth assay showed MSC inhibited HepG_2 cells growth in soft agarose.RT-PCR and Caspase-3 assay showed that HepG_2 cells treated with 25(?mol?L~(-1)) MSC for 24 and 48 hours,the expression of Cyclin D1 mRNA was down-regulated by 38% and 47%,while Caspase-3 activity was up-regulated by((39.61)?(6.65))%and((118.73)?(6.48))%.HepG_2 cells treated with 50(?mol?L~(-1)) MSC for 24 and 48 h,the expression of Cyclin D1 mRNA was down-regulated by 53% and 82%, whereas Caspase-3 activity was up-regulated by((80.66)?(9.31))% and((152.67)?(7.95))%.CONCLUSION: MSC can inhibit the growth of HepG_2 cells,and induce apoptosis and S phase arrest of HepG_2 cells.The phenotype alterations of HepG_2 cells might relate with inhibition of Cyclin D1 expression and Caspase-3 activity by MSC in the cells.

Objective To analysis the features of Montreal classification,serum markers,treatment and prognosis of Chinese patients with Crohn's disease(CD),and to estimate the relationships between clinical classification and anti-sarccharomyces cerevisiae antibody(ASCA),treatment and prognosis.Methods A retrospective study of 102 consecutive definite CD eases were performed and all subjects were classified into subtypes according to Montreal classification.The results of ASCA,extra-intestinal manifestation,treatment and disease behavior at follow-up were recorded and compared among different subtypes.Results The A2 subtype(52.9%)was dominated in Chinese CD patients.Ileocolon location(40.2%)and stricture lesion (53.9%)were common.The complication rate was dependent on disease course(P＜0.05),and intestinal fistula was associated with disease location(P=0.074).B1 subtype had higher progressive rate than B2 subtype(P=0.018).ASCA was not associated with disease loeation,disease behavior,treatment and disease progression(P＞0.05).Conclusions Crohn's disease mainly attack young people with male predominance.Early-onset CD patients have higher ASCA positive rate and disease progressive rate.The disease behavior progresses associated with disease course,and the rate of complication and the increase of surgery.The penetrating behavior is the main cause for surgery.Montreal classification is useful to predict the disease course,the need for surgery as well as the prognosis.

Protective effects of chlorpromazine on ischemic heart and its mechanisms were investigated in rats with acute myocardial infarction (MI). 30 SD female rats were divided into three groups. the ischemia group, being subjected MI by coronary ligation, the MI+chlorpromazine group and the control. All samples were taken at 2 hours after operation. The ischemia group, as compared to the control, showed remarkable ultrastructural damage in ischemic myocardium and significant increases in serum CPKmb by 77%, serum cortisol by 67% and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) by 25%(P

The hypoxia tolerance of mice was significantly increased by repetitive action of auto-hypoxia. The tolerance duration of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th run was 1.8 2.5 3.0 and 3.6 times longer than that of the Ist one. The survival time of mice that had been exposed to hypoxia repeatedly for four runs was 10 times longer than that of the control animals when both of them were placed in the same low pressure chamber and was 4 times longer while KCN was administrated. The survival time under low oxygen pressure in mice injected with brain extract of resistant mice was 1.8 and 2.1 times longer than that of the saline-injected or normal mice's brain extract-injected animals respectively. These results indicate that some plastic or adaptic changes might occur in the tissue cells particularly in the brain cells during acute and repeated hypoxia. They lead the animals' hypoxia tolerance to a very high level. Water soluble antihypoxic or hypoxia-resistant elements might exist in the brain of hypoxia resistant animals, which were extractable, transferable, and permeable to the blood brain barrier.

The present experiment was carried out on mice.The changes in contentsof 12 essential trace elements in the brain of mice were measured by inductivelycoupled plasma emission following acute and repetitive exposure to hypoxia.Followingrepeat exposure to hypoxia for one or two runs, the contents of non-soluble in brainhomogenats as was notably decreased,while that of the soluble V was markedly increased,when compared with that of normal group.When the animals were fed for two daysafter four runs of hypoxia,the contents of As,Fe,Cu,Co,Cr,B,and V were all signi-ficantly or very significantly changed in comparison with the normal value.Further stu-dies are needed to find out the biological importance of these changes and the relationshipbetween them and hypoxia tolerance.
