Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2014;(11):1125-1130
Objective: To study the relationship between FAT10 expression and biological behaviors in inif trating ductal carcinoma of breast. Methods: The expressions of diubiquitin (FAT10), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and c-erbB2 in 50 cases of inif trating ductal carcinoma of breast were detected by immunohistochemistry. Western blot was used to detect FAT10 expression in MB-MDA-435, MB-MDA-435-transfected with FAT10 siRNA expression plasmid, MCF-7 and MCF-7-transfected with FAT10 expression plasmid, respectively. Transwell was used to detect invasion capability of MB-MDA-435, MB-MDA-435-transfected with FAT10 siRNA expression plasmid, MCF-7 and MCF-7-transfected with FAT10 expression plasmid. Results: hTe expression intensity of FAT10 was signiifcantly correlated to patho-grading, lymph nodes metastasis, distant metastasis and TNM staging (P<0.01), but not to age of patients and tumor sizes in iniftrating ductal carcinoma of breast (P>0.05). hTe expression intensity of FAT10 in receptor- negative group was obviously stronger than that in receptor- positive group (P<0.01). hTe expression intensity of FAT10 in triple-negative breast cancer was signiifcantly stronger than that in non- triple-negative breast cancer (P<0.01). hTe survival rate of patients with FAT10 positive expression was significantly lower than negative ones (P<0.05). Western blot results showed that FAT10 intensity in MB-MDA-435 significantly higher than that in MCF-7. Up-regulation expression of FAT10 could obviously increase the invasion capability of MCF-7, and down-regulation of FAT10 could signiifcantly decrease the invasion capability of MB-MDA-435 (P<0.01). Conclusion: FAT10 might increase the invasion capability of breast cancer cells by direct or indirect ways, and play an important role in invasion and metastasis of breast cancer. FAT10 might be an independent index for evaluation of breast cancer prognosis, and a potential target for breast cancer therapy, especially for triple-negative breast cancer.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2012;(12):1609-1611
Objective To evaluate the relationship of serum cystatin C (Cys C) levels and the severity of coronary artery diseases (CAD).Methods A total of 194 patients underwent coronary angiography were divided into two groups (102 CAD patients) and control group (non-CAD group,92 cases).To study the relationship of the level of serum cystatin C and the severity of CAD,the serum cystatin C of all enrolled patients was detected by immune-enhancing latex turbidimetry and the serum cystatin C level of CAD group was compared to control group.Results The serum levels of cystatin C of CAD were significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05).With the increased levels of serum Cys C,CAD severity average score was increased; logistic regression analysis showed that Cys C was one of the risk factors of CAD.Cystatin C concentration was significantly correlated with CAD severity score.A cut-off value of 0.79 mg/L for cystatin C predicted incident CAD with a sensitivity of 76.60% and specificity of 82.60%,respectively.Conclusions Serum Cys C levels are valuable clinical predictors and closely related to CAD.With the increasing levels of serum Cys C,CAD becomes more severe.
6.Physicochemical properties and biocompatibility of titanium and titanium alloy for dental restoration
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(19):-
Titanium is abundant, soft and widespread, moreover it costs lowly and contributes towards an excellent biocompatibility and causticity resistance. For the metal materials used for repairing human hard tissues, titanium is the most approach to the human hard tissues regarding elastic modulus. This result may relieve the mechanical inadaptability between metal implants and bone tissues. Compared to other alloys, titanium inlay or crown plays a role on the protection of dental pulp and the prevention of cold or hot stimulus. Titanium and titanium alloy are satisfactory with regrad to the physical, chemical and mechanical properties, especially the biocompatibility and elaboration. Those good characteristics lead to a wide application prospect of titaniun in the field of dental restoration. Titanium and titanium alloy have become a hot topic of the alloy study for the stomatology.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the WHO gradeⅣmalignancies, which is an acentral nervous system cancer with poor prognosis unless the lesion is in the brain stem. The incidence of GBM accounts for 80%of human primary malignant tumors in brain. Only 5%GBM can survive up to 5-years. Many researches showed that Sox2 is a pluripotent regulator, and muta?tion or abnormal function of Sox2 are closely related to the development of GBM. There are studies demonstrated the possibil?ity of using Sox2 gene as apotential target for GBM therapy. This paper reviewed recent progress in GBM.

As an internal environment of tumor occurrence, tumor microenvironment is composed of a variety of cells and extracellular matrix, and plays a crucial role in tumor formation, transfer and resistance to drugs. The regulation of tumor microenvironment will be a potential target to control the cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of 21 to 25 nucleotides single-stranded RNA, and are mainly involved in regulating gene expression. Recently, with the suggestion of cellular auton-omous tumor inhibition mechanism, the regulation of tumor microenvironment by miRNAs has received great attention. This review summarizes recent findings on the non-cell-autonomous mechanisms of miRNAs-mediated regulation of tumor micro-environments, which provides foundations and perspective on the design of therapeutic interventions.
