AIM:To explore the effect and significance of neuregulins /ErbB2 receptor signal transduction pathway on mtp53 and hypoxia-iducible factor-1?(HIF-1?) in none-overexpression ErbB2 breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231.METHODS:The expression of neuregulin was detected by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting.MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with ErbB2 kinase inhibitor AG825.Proliferation was measured by MTT assay.The cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry.The expressions of mtp53 and HIF-1? were detected by Western blotting.The mRNA expression of HIF-1? was detected by RT-PCR.RESULTS:MDA-MB-231 cells expressed a relative higher level of neuregulin.In the results of Western blotting,the positive reaction band was found in 44 kD which coincides with the molecular weight of neuregulin.When MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with AG825,the proliferation was inhibited in time and dose dependent manners(P

[Objective]To investigate the related risk factors of unstable plaques in extracranial carotid arteries in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases(ICVD).[Methods] Two hundred and eight ICVD patients were enrolled and plaques in extracranial carotid arteries were detected by c(a)rotid color ultrasound.All the patients were divided into unstable plaque group(75 cases)and stable plaque group (133 cases)according to the ultrasound performance.Related disease history and the traditional risk factors of ICVD were recorded.The risk factors with statistical significance were screened out by univariate nonconditional Logistic regression analysis,and then the independent risk factors of unstable plaques in extracnmial carotid arteries were analyzed by multivariate non-conditional Logistic regression analysis.[Results]Univariate non-conditional Logistic regression analysis showed that male,history of hypertension,history of diabetes,smoking were positively correlated with the formation of unstable plaques in extracranial carotid arteries(P＜0.01 or ＜0.05).High density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)was negatively correlated with the formation of unstable plaques in extracranial carotid arteries(P＜0.01).There were no statistical significance in history of coronary heart disease,law of life,family history of hypertension,drinking,family history of stroke and low density lipoprotein cholesterol between two groups(p ＞0.05).Multivariate non-conditional Logistic regression analysis showed that male,history of hypertension,history of diabetes and smoking were the independent risk factors of the formation of unstable plaques in ex tracranial carotid arteries (OR =2.33,7.16,6.15,2.28,respectively,P＜0.01).And HDL-C was the protection factor of the formation of unstable plaques in extracranial carotid arteries(OR=0.84,P ＜ 0.01).[Conclusions] The independent risk factors of the formation of unstable plaques in extracranial carotid arteries in patients with ICVD are male,history of hypertension,history of diabetes and smoking.And HDL-C is the protection factor of the formation of unstable plaques in extracranial carotid arteries in patients with ICVD.It has important significance to take out necessary intervention for patients with risk factors.

Objective To evaluate the expression and function of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and its substrate kinase P70S6K in mTOR/P70S6K signal pathway in cervical carcinogenesis. Methods The expression of mTOR and P70S6K in normal cervix uteri or cervical cancer was detected by the immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR methods. Results Compared to those in normal cervix uteri, both mRNA and protein of mTOR/P70S6K in cervical carcinomas were significantly increased (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between mTOR gene and P70S6K gene expression in cervical cancer (r=0.746, P<0.001). Conclusion High expression of mTOR and P7OS6K may play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of cervical cancer.

ObjectiveTo establish an effective method for F9 gene mutation detection by using high resolution melting ( HRM ) curve analysis.Methods Peripheral blood samples of 55 hemophilia B (HB) patients were collected from Shanghai Ruijin Hospital during January 2005 to June 2010.Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood.PCR amplification combined with sequencing was used to identify the F9 gene mutations in 40 patients.HRM assay was established on the 21 DNA samples with known mutations in exonl to exon7 of F9 gene.Mutation scanning of exonl to exon7 by HRM combined with direct sequencing of exon8 was used in the molecular diagnosis of 15 HB patients with unknown F9 gene mutations.ResultsF9 gene mutation was detected in each of the 40 HB patients by direct sequencing.By HRM,the different melting curve patterns were identified in 19 out of 21 cases.The detection rate was about 90％.Through mutation scanning of exonl to exon7 by HRM combined with direct sequencing of exon8,F9 gene mutations were detected in all the 15 HB patients with unknown F9 gene mutations.Thirty-four F9 gene mutations had been identified in the 55 HB patients.ConclusionsA new strategy of HB genetic diagnosis,scanning mutations of exonl to exon7 combined with DNA sequencing of exon8 of F9 gene,is established in this study.The new strategy is efficient and reliable.

Objective To explore the effect of different diary method on daily affect of college students.Methods 75 numbers of under-graduates were randomly assigned into information recording group,feeling recording group and control group.Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Positive And Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) were used before and after two months intervention.Results For positive emotion,ANOVA results showed no significant (P＞0.05) main effect of time,a significant (P＜0.05) main effect of group(2.76±0.41,2.97±0.50,3.24±0.45),and the time × group had a significant interaction (P＜0.05).Simple effect analysis showed that after the intervention,the positive emotions of information recording group (2.47 ± 0.62) and feeling recording group (2.86±0.64) was lower than the positive emotions of control group(3.35±0.46) significantly(P＜0.05).For negative emotions,there was no significant difference (P＞0.05) in main effects of time,group and interaction;for depression,the main effect of the level of time (8.02± 5.65,5.38 ± 5.04,5.20± 5.51) was significant (P＜ 0.01),and main effect of group and the interaction were not significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Different diary methods have different effects on the subject's daily affect.

Objective To investigate clinical biologic characteristics and factors that impact prognosis of patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma(FTC).Method Clinical data of 105 FTC patients treated surgically in the Department of Head& Neck,Tianjin Cancer Hospital from 1970 to 1990 was analyzed retrospectively.Results The overall 5-year,10-year and 15-year survival rates of these patients were 85.3％,76.7％ and 72.9％ respectively.The overall 15-year survival rates of patients ≥45 years and those ＜ 45 years were 45.9％,89.8％ respectively.The overall 15-year survival rates of patients with unilateral and bilateral carcinoma was 50.0％,76.2％ respectively.The overall 15-year survival rates of patients with neck lymph node metastasis and without were 54.2％,79.2％ respectively.The overall 15-year survival rates of patients at stage Ⅰ,stage Ⅱ,stageⅢ and stageⅣ were 89.3％,70.0％,45.5％ and 35.3％respectively.During the follow-up period,11 patients were diagnosed with distant metastasis from 1 year to 33 years after surgical treatment and 9 died of cancer within 5 years after diagnosis.Seventeen patients had local recurrence from 3 months to 34 years after surgery and 10 of these patients died of local recurrence.Conclusions The factors influencing prognosis of patients with FTC were age,clinical stage,bilateral carcinoma and neck lymph node metastasis,therefore early treatment and close following-up are essential to improve the prognosis of patients with FTC.

Established rat models with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) were divided into three groups:subclinical hypothyroid(SCH),SCH treated with levothyroxine (L-T4),and control group.The L-T4 group displayed lowered total cholesterol and endothelin levels compared with the SCH group[(1.29 ±0.05 vs 2.38 ±0.55) mmol/L,(98.54 ± 32.43 vs 160.62 ±37.25) nmol/L,both P＜0.05].Nitric oxide levels,left ventricular systolic pressure,and blood flow in abdominal aorta were significantly higher in the L-T4 group than those in the SCH group.The results of this study indicate that L-T4 treatment may improve endothclial dysfunction and hemodynamic changes in rats with SCH.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical curative effect and safety of nabumetone for rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS: The researches about the study on the curative effect and ADRs of nabumetone for rheumatoid arthritis were retrieved and carried out by Meta-analysis. RESULTS: 9 researches were up to the including criteria. As compared with the control group, nabumetone has better effect [RR=1.11,95% CI(1.02, 1.20), P=0.01] but fewer ADRs [RR=0.71,95% CI(0.41, 1.22), P=0.007] in clinical treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. CONCLUSION: The evidence currently available shows that nabumetone has better efficacy and safety. Because the RCTs available for this systematic review are too small, more and further high-quality large-scale RCTs with long-term follow up are required to provide more reliable evidence

Objective To study the incidence of malposition of catheter at different body positions during the operation of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC),and then select the optimum position to increase the success rate of insertion. Methods 155 patients were randomly divided into the horizontal position group (55 cases),the semi-reclining position group (49 cases) and the sitting position group (51cases).They all used chest X-ray to conffirm the position of top end of the catheter after insertion and then comparing the incidence rate of malposition of catheter among three groups. Results After insertion,11 patients' catheters were found malposition.Among them,8 patients were in the semi-reclining position group (incidence rate 16.3％),2 patients were in the horizontal position group (incidence rate 3.6％) and only one patient was in the sitting position group (incidence rate 1.9％ ).Incidence rate of catheter malposition in the semi-reclining position group was significantly higher than other two groups. Conclusions The best position for PICC is the horizontal position.If the patient has expiratory dyspnea or need to adjust the malposition catheter,sitting position can be used.Semi-reclining position should be avoided in the operation of PICC.

Objective To explore the incidence and pathologic feature of patients with thyroid carcinoma treated at the First Hospital of Jilin University. Methods From January 2000 to July 2010,clinicopathologic data of 1018 patients with thyroid carcinoma treated in the First Hospital of Jilin University were retrospectively analyzed. Results The cases of thyroid carcinoma between 2008 and 2010 were more than 73% higher than that in the preceding 8 years. Cancer cases from January 2009 to July 2010 were more1018 cases reviewed, 976 cases were clearly classified pathologically. Papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular thyroid carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma were present in 897 (91.91%), 43(4. 41% ), 22(2. 25% ) and 6(0. 61% ) cases respectively. Of the 1018 cases reviewed,804 cases were recorded with or without lymphnode metastasis. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of male and female patient were 39. 24% and 28. 64% respectively and the difference was significant( χ2 = 6. 71 ,P ＜0. 05). The rate of lymphnode metastasis of age ＜45 years and age ≥45 years were 37.65% and 23. 26%respectively and the difference was significant ( χ2 = 19. 54, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions In the past ten and a half years, the number of the thyroid carcinoma patients treated in the First Hospital of Jilin University increased year by year. The increase of papillary thyroid carcinoma was the most obvious. Thyroid carcinoma was more common among females. The peak incidence age of males and females was 30 -59. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of males was larger than that of females. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of age ＜45years was larger than that of age≥45 years.
