BACKGROUND:Tumor markers are of great significance in early diagnosis of cancer, screening of high risk
group with cancer, differential diagnosis between benign and malignant tumors, judgment of cancer progression, evaluation of cancer therapeutic effect and prediction of cancer recurrence and prognosis.
OBJECTIVE:To realize the importance of tumor marker for cancer early diagnosis by introducing the working principle and clinical application of silicon nanowires biosensor in detecting tumor markers.
METHODS:The first author searched PubMed, CNKI and Google Scholar Databases to retrieve relevant articles about tumor marker, working principle and application of silicon nanowires biosensor published from 2003 to 2013. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Silicon nanowires biosensors with high sensitivity and without secondary marks show a good application prospect in detecting tumor markers. They have been used to detect tumor markers for prostate cancer, breast cancer, tumor markers of colorectal cancer, and primary liver cancer, and achieved an ideal limit of detection. However, due to the influence of debye length, most of detections can only be performed in the standard solution. There is a lack of the serum data of cancer patients.

Objective To construct A2 gene expression vector in Q? phage by gene recombination technology, and then analyze its physiological activities. Methods Amplified A2 gene in Q? genome by PCR, cloned it into pBAD-24 expression vector to construct pBAD A2 recombinant plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was identified by restrictive enzymes digestion and DNA sequencing, then to be transfected into host cell JM109. After induced by Arabinose, the expression level of A2 was detected by SDS-PAGE. The growth curve of E.coli was obtained by phototurbidometry to test the bacteriolysis activity of pBADA2 in various host cells. Results After certified by PCR screening, DNA sequencing and restrictive enzymes digestion, the expression vector of pBADA2 was successfully constructed. The gene expression level is high in JM109 and related with Arabinose concentration, which reach its peak when Arabinose is 0.2%. OD660 value demonstrates that pBADA2 has the function of bacteriolysis, which could dissolve JM109、HB101 and 594 in E.coli rapidly, but not BE110. Conclusion The highly expressed vector pBADA2 was successfully constructed. The protein expressed has the ideal function of bacteriolysis. All of these provide theoretical and practical bases for developing new anti-bacteria drugs.

Objective To investigate the changes of diamine oxidase(DAO) and endotoxin(ET) during the treatment of systemic inflammatory response syndrome with human growth hormone and the relationship between human growth hormone and intestinal mucosal barrier injury. Methods One hundred and forty six patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome were randomly divided into operative group and non operative group, which were again randomly divided into the study group and control group.Plasma concentration of DAO and ET were determined before the treatment and 1 week after the treatment.Results Plasma concentration of DAO and ET in study group decreased after treatment with significant difference ( P

Abstract?AlM: To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal injection with Ranibizumab combined with sub-Tenon injection with Triamcinolone acetonide ( TA ) for macular edema ( ME) due to central retinal venous occlusions ( CRVO) .?METHODS:Forty-six patients (46 eyes) were diagnosed ischemic CRVO with significant macular edema by fundus fluorescence-angiography ( FFA ) and optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) . All the patients had panretinal photocoagulation ( PRP ) , a week after the four times therapies. Twenty-three patients ( 23 eyes ) in group A were randomly chosen to receive intravitreal injection with ranibizumab ( lVR ) , another 23 patients ( 23 eyes ) in group B to treat with both lVR and sub-Tenon injection with TA ( PSTT ) . There was no significant difference on macular edema and best corrected visual activity ( BCVA) between the two groups. The changes in BCVA and central macular thickness ( CMT) before and 1wk; 1, 3, 6mo after treatments were analyzed.?RESULTS: One week after the treatment: the BCVA increased while the CMT decreased compared with that of pretreatment in groups A and B (P<0. 05). BCVA and CMT changes between two groups were statistically significant differences (P<0. 05). One month and three months after the treatment:the BCVA increased while the CMT decreased compared with that of pretreatment in group A and B (P<0. 05), the difference was significant between two groups ( P< 0. 05 ). Six month after the treatment:the BCVA increased while the CMT decreased compared with that of pretreatment in groups A and B. Compare BCVA difference between the groups was statistically significant change (P<0. 05), CMT difference was not statistically significant (P>0. 05).?CONCLUSlON:Not only lVR can decrease ME caused by CRVO and increase the BCVA, but also lVR combined with PSTT can. But combined therapies can be more rapidly and have more positive effect on decreasing the ME and protecting the visual function.

Objective To investigate epigenetic inactivation of SPOCK2 gene in the malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis ( EM ) by comparing the methylation status and protein expression of SPOCK2 gene in the malignant tissues,ectopic endometria and the eutopic endometria of endometriosis.Methods From Jan.2005 to Jan.2011,22 paraffin-embedded specimens diagnosed as malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis ( EAOC ) including 11 cases with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma,8 cases with clear cell carcinoma,2 cases with serous cystadenocarcinoma and 1 case with mucous cystoadenocarcinoma matched with 22 cases with ovarian endometriosis and 16 cases with normal endometrium form cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN) patients as controls in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Shengjing Hospital.Twenty-two malignant tissues,15 ectopic endometria and 10 eutopic endometria were captured by microdissection in EAOC group; 22 eetopic endometria and 17 eutopic endometria were captured in EM group; 22 endometrium were captured in the NE group.The methylation statue of SPOCK2 was determined by combined bisulfite restriction analysis,and the protein expression of SPOCK2 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Results ( 1 ) Methylation of SPOCK2:in the EAOC group,the frequency of SPOCK2 hypermethylation in malignant tissue was 45％ (10/22),which was significantly higher than 1/15 in the ectopic endometrium (P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference of the frequency of SPOCK2 hypermethylation in ectopic endometrium in the EAOC group(1/15) and EM group (5％,1/22) (P＞0.05).(2) SPOCK2 protein:the loss rate of SPOCK2 was 44％ (11/22) in malignant tissue in EAOC group,which were significantly higher than 2/15 of in ectopic endometrium of EAOC (P ＜ 0.05).However,there was no remarkable difference in loss rate of SPOCK2 protein between ectopic endeometrium of EAOC and endometrium of EM [ 2/15 vs.5％ ( 1/22 ),P ＞ 0.05 ].No significantly difference in loss rate of SPOCK2 in eutopic endometrium was observed among three groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).(3) The abnormal methylation of SPOCK2 could lead to loss expression of protein ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Epigenetic inactivation of SPOCK2 gene is involved in the malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis.

Objective To observe the anti-androgenic activity of two pyrethroids (cypermethrin and fenpropathrin) in vivo. Methods SD rats aged 6 weeks were castrated ,and then housed for one week. The rats were randomly divided into groups, six in each: negative control group,cypermethrin and fenpropathrin group, positive control group. The rats were subcutaneously injected with testosterone propionate (TP) 100 ?g(/kg?d)for 7 consecutive days. Peanut oil, cypermethrin [ 45, 90, 180 mg/(kg?d)], fenpropathrin[10, 20, 40 mg/ (kg?d) ], flutamide[ 20 mg(/kg?d) ] were subcutaneously injected for 7 consecutive days at the same time. The sex accessory glands and serum hormone were detected. Results Compared with the negative group, no significant differences were observed in the sex accessory glands/tissues (seminal vesicles with coagulating glands, dorsolateral prostate, the ventral prostate and levator ani muscles) and the levels of serum hormones of the pyrethroids groups. Compared with the negative group, the masses of all the sex accessory glands/tissues decreased significantly in the positive group . Compared with the negative group, the level of LH increased significantly in the positive group. Conclusion No obvious anti-androgenic effects induced by cypermethrin and fenpropathrin in castrated SD rats has been observed.
