This study examined the implication of EMT induced by TGF-beta1 in pancreatic cancer invasion. TGF-beta1 expression was determined in 29 cases of human pancreatic carcinoma (PC) by immunohistochemistry and the results were compared with those of pathological examination. Moreover, the effects of TGF-beta1 on the phenotype and invasion of pancreatic cancer cell line Panc-1 were also investigated. TGF-beta1 was detected in 12 cases (41.4%) of PC. Significant correlation was found between the expression of TGF-beta1 and lymph node involvement (P=0.047) and the depth of invasion (P=0.035). TGF-beta1 obviously promoted EMT of Panc-1 cell lines and their invasion ability was substantially enhanced. TGF-beta1 may promote the malignancy of pancreatic cancer by triggering EMT.

Aim: To elucidate the structure of an acidic polysaccharide from Cordyceps sinensis and to study its protective effect on renal cell injury by cisplatin. Methods: After Cordyceps sinensis acidic polysaccharide( CAPS) was isolated and purified, the purity and molecule weight were detected by high performance gel permeation chro-matography( HPGPC). Based on the UV spectrum, FT-IR spectrum, monosaccharide composition and GC-MS, the structures were elucidated. Cisplatin-induced injury of Madin-Darby canine kidney( MDCK) cell line was protec-ted by the blood serum with CAPS. Results: The purity of CAPS, with a molecule weight of 2. 7×10~4, was about 99%. It consisted mainly of mannose, glucose and galactose. When the serum with CAPS reached 2.5%, it showed difference compared with the cisplatin group (P <0. 05) on the protective effect of renal cell injury. It showed significant difference( P <0.01) when the serum with CAPS exceeded 5%. Conclusion: CAPS has a pro-tective effect on the renal cell injury in vitro.

Objective To compare the accuracy of BIS and skin conductance (SC) for assessment of the depth of sedation induced by target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ orⅡpatients aged 21-56 yr weighing 52-85 kg undergoing orthopedic operation on the lower limb under epidural anesthesia were enrolled in this study.After the onset of epidural anesthesia, TCI of propofol was started at an initial target plasma concentration (Cp) of 0.8 μg/ml. Th Cp was increased by 0.5-0.8 μg/ml every 3 min until OAA/S score=1. OAA/S score, BIS and SC values were recorded, SC change value (△SC) was calculated. Spearman rank-order correlation, receiver operating characteristic curve (area under curve AUC was calculated) and logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship of OAA/S score to BIS and △SC.Results BIS and △SC were significantly correlated with OAA/S scores (r were 0.920 and-0.859 respectively). The AUC of △SC (0.919, 0.946) was significantly better correlated with OAA/S score (5→4, 4→3) than that of BIS (0.761, 0.507), while BIS was better correlated (0.781, 0.959) with OAA/S score (3→2, 2→1) than ASC (0.577, 0.630). Logistic regression correctly predicted loss of consciousness. The accuracy of prediction was 93% for BIS and 82% for △SC. Conclusion The accuracy of SC for assessment of the depth of sedation induced by propofol TCI ishigher than that of BIS before loss of consciousness,while lower than that of BIS after loss of consciousness. BIS is more accurate in monitoring the loss of consciousness.
