Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of early B-cell factor 3 (EBF3) mRNA and protein in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and the effect of EBF3 overexpression on HepG2 cell proliferation. Methods The expression levels of EBF3 mRNA in 20 pairs surgical specimens of HCC and their distant noncancerous tissues were detected by fluorescence quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(FQ-RT-PCR). Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of EBF3 protein in 5 pairs surgical specimens of HCC and distant noncancerous tissues. The fusion protein EBF3-EGFP was ex-pressed in HepG2 cells by transfection of pEGFP/EBF3 into the synchronized HepG2 cells using lipo-fectAMINE 2000 regent. Expression of EBF3-EGFP fusion protein was observed under the inverted fluores-cence microscope. S-phase fraction(SPF) and proliferating index(PI) were analyzed with flow cytometry (FCM). Results The ratio of EBF3 mRNA to β_2 mRNA in HCC tissues was significantly higher than that in distant liver non-cancerous tissues(0.55 ±0.12 versus 0. 22 ± 0.23, t = 5.69, P < 0.001 ). EBF3 protein in nuclear extracts of HCC tissues was about 4 fold that in distant non-cancerous tissues (26.35 ±14.06 versus 7.86 ± 8.47, t = 2.52, P = 0.036). Fluorescence microscopy revealed that 24 h after trans-fection of pEGFP/EBF3 into hepatoma HepG2, the fluorescence of EBF3-EGFP fusion protein was mainly observed in the nucleus. After transfection for 24 h and 48 h, SPF and PI were markedly increased in HepG2 cells transfected by pEGFP/EBF3 as compared with that in pEGFP-N1 transfeeted cells. Conclusion The expression of EBF3 at both mRNA and protein levels was up-regulated in HCC tissues. EBF3 promotes HepG2 cells proliferation through DNA replication, effect of EBF3 in ttCC needs to be further investigated.

Objectives To establish an HPLC method for determination of sodium Danshensu, hesperidin and salvianolic acid B in Niaosaitong capsules. Methods Three components were separated by C18 chromatographic column with a gradient mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1%phosphoric acid solution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, column temperature of 30 ℃, and detection wavelength was set at 286 nm. Results Sodium Danshensu, hesperidin and salvianolic acid B had good linearity in the range of 0.038 44-1.922 μg, 0.000 207 052 8-4.044 μg, 0.034 28-1.714 μg respectively, and the average recovery rate was 90.9%-107.1%, RSD was 2.1%-3.2%. Conclusion The methods is simple and accurate, and can be used for the quality control of Niaosaitong capsules.

Objective To observe the hemodynamic change of small artery in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods We measured peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), pulse index (PI), resistance index (RI) of ocular artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), finger artery, dorsal pedis artery and interlobar artery of patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes. Results The decrease in PSV and EDV values occurred early in CRA of type 2 diabetics while RI and PI values increased. Conclusion The hemodynamic change of CRA occurs earliest among general small arteries of type 2 diabetic patients.

Objective To study the endothelium-dependent d il atative function (EDDF) in the patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and essentia l hypertension (EH). Methods A total of 25 DM patients and 25 EH were chosen as the experimental group and 20 matched normals were chosen a s the control group. EDDF was assessed with B-mode ultrasonography for the chan ges in the diameter of the brachial artery during reactive hyperemia and after t aking in nitroglycerin. Results The changes of brachial art ery diameter during reactive hyperemia were slighter in DM and EH patients. The changes of branchial artery diameter after sublingual glyceryl trinitrate were s lighter in DM patients. Conclusion Endothelial dysfunction exist in the patients with DM; and endothelium-dependent vasodilatative dysfunc tion exist in the patients with EH.

64 cases of gallstone pancreatitis were treatedin our hospital in recent eight years. Early biliaryoperations were performed in 36 cases and good re-sults were got. Gallstone pancreatitis has the char-acteristics of cholelithiasis, the temporary damageof liver and the manifestations of pancreatitis, aswell. The purpose of the paper is to analyse anddiscuss diagnostic methods and treatment of gall-stone pancreatitis. It is important to perform theexaminations of ultrasound scanning and liverfunction in differential diagnoses. The necessity ofoperation is emphasized. It is also proposed thatbiliary operation be performed early as soon as theinflammation of pancreas is controlled effectively.

Objective To evaluate the application and effect of endoscopic screening directly with i-odine stain in high risked area of esophageal cancer and compare the detecting rate of cancer and dysplasia before and after iodine stains. Methods In the high risked area of esophageal cancer, endoscopic exam were directly performed in 3 022 people, aged 40 - 69 years with iodine staining and biopsy, then observing and recording the alternation of color and morphology of mucbsa and texture of submucosal blood vessels before and after iodine staining. Results One hundred and thirty one cases of esophageal carcinoma and 659 cases of moderate and severe dysplasia were diagnosed by biopsy; the discovery of esophageal cancer before and after iodine stain were 57 ( 1. 9% ) and 111(3.7%) cases, while of moderate and severe dysplasia were 154(5. 0% ) and 659(21. 8% ) cases respectively with significant statistical differences. Conclusion The mucosal iodine staining under endoscopy markedly increased the detecting rates of early superficial esophageal cancer and dysplasia ( moderate and severe) .

10 mm in diameter and tended to be correlated with the main discharges in EEG in two cases. 11 of 20 cases (61.11%) were effective with AEDs. After more than one year following up, 3 of 10 patients became worse.Conclusion Seizures in TS usually begin in young children, and partial seizures is the commonest seizure type in this study. There is a shift in seizure type during the clinical course. The results also suggests that there is a certain correlation between the size of cortical tubers and the epiletogenic focus. Treatment with AEDs is effective. However, the effect appears decreasing with increasing age.

Objective:To clone the encoding sequence of human EBF3 gene,construct recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid vector pEGFP/EBF3,and study the effect of EBF3 on HepG2 cell cycling.Methods:Total RNA was isolated from placental tissue.Full-length human EBF3 cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR,cloned into eukaryotic expression plasmid vector pEGFP-N1 and sequenced.The expression and sub-cellular localization of the fusion protein EBF3-EGFP in HepG2 cells were analyzed by Western blot.Cell cycles were analyzed with flow cytometry analysis.Results:Obtained full encoding sequence of early B cell factor 3 was identical with that included in GeneBank,and the eukaryotic expression plasmid vector pEGFP/EBF3 was constructed correctly.24 h after transfected by pEGFP/EBF3,the fusion protein EBF3-EGFP was observed mainly in the cellular nucleus under the inverted fluorescence microscope.Western blot analysis confirmed that the EBF3-EGFP fusion proteins of Mr 87 000 were detected in both cytoplasmic and nuclear protein of the HepG2 transfected by pEGFP/EBF3 for 24 h or 48 h.Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the percentage of cells in the S phase was markedly increased in HepG2 cells transfected by pEGFP/EBF3 as compared with that in pEGFP-N1 transfected cells.These findings suggested that transfection of EBF3 gene into HepG2 induced cell proliferation by increasing the number of cells from G1 phase to G2 phase.Conclusion:The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid vector pEGFP/EBF3 is successfully established.The percentage of cells in the S phase is markedly increased in pEGFP/EBF3 transfected cells as opposed to pEGFP-N1 transfected cells.It is likely that EBF3 promotes HepG2 cells proliferation through DNA replication.
