Objective: To analyze the association between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and pancreatic cancer. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed to explore the positive rate of serum hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) in patients with pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, diabetes mellitus and general population. Z test was used to compare the rate of HBV infection between the samples and general population. The rates among the samples were compared by Chi-square test. Results: A total of 3,701 registered patients seen in our hospital between January 1st 2003 and March 31st 2009 were collected. There were 230 pancreatic cancer patients with a positive rate of serum HBsAg of 16.1%, 1,188 lung cancer patients with a positive rate of serum HBsAg of 10.7%, and 2,283 patients with diabetes mellitus with a positive rate of serum HBsAg of 11.6%. There was no statistical significance in Z-test results between lung cancer patients and general population (Z=1.104, P=0.163), but the Z-test results between patients with diabetes mellitus and general population showed a statistical significance (Z=2.98, P=0.002). The positive rate of HBsAg was higher in pancreatic cancer patients than that in lung cancer patients (OR=1.60, 95% Cl: 1.077-2.382, r=5.487, P=0.019). Similar results were found between pancreatic cancer patients and diabetic patients (OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.004-2.123, r=3.965, P=0.046). Conclusion: The positive rate of HBsAg is high in pancreatic cancer patients. There might be an association between HBV infection and pancreatic cancer.

BACKGROUND:WIF-1 is a tumor suppressor gene. Promoter hypermethylation causes WIF-1 down-regulationin most tumors. DNA methylation inhibitor can lead to gene demethylation and restore its expression. OBJECTIVE:To observe the differences of tumor pathology and, WIF-1 mRNAand proteinchanges using WIF-1 or 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine demethylation in animalmodels of osteosarcoma.
METHODS:Murine osteosarcoma models were established and divided into three groups. In the control group, no treatment was given. In the 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine group, an appropriate amount of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine was injected ineach mouse daily. In the WIF-1 group, an appropriate amount of Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathway inhibitor WIF-1 was injected in each mouse daily. Seven days after medication, the weight of nude mouse was weighed every 7 days. Short tumor diameter (a) and the long diameter (b) were measured. Therelative tumor volume was calculated. The relative growth rate of tumor was calculated at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56 days. Four nude mice from ach group were sacrificed by puling the neck at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56 days after medication. Tumor tissues were stripped and the weight of them was weighed. Pathological analysis of the tumor was conducted. The expression of WIF-1protein and WIF-1 mRNA was detected in osteosarcoma at 56 days after medication in the three groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Compared withthe medication and control groups, the weight of nude mice was increased at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56 days in the treatment group. No significant difference was found between the medication and control groups. (2) The tumor size was significantly smaler in themedication group than in the control group. WIF-1 mRNA and WIF-1 protein expression was increased in the medication group compared with the control group to different degrees. (3) Results suggested that WIF-1 gene promoter methylation is one of the mechanisms of the development of osteosarcoma. Use of WIF-1 or 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine demethylation can inhibit tumor growth in animal models of osteosarcoma.

OBJECTIVE Tostudytheeffectofeffectivefractions(EFC)frommodifiedSimiaoWan (MSW)onthelevelofuricacidinhyperuricemicratsandinvestigatethemechanism.METHODS Two types of hyperurice mic models were established.A persistant hyperurice mic model was prepared by giving rats oxonic acid 200 mg·kg -1 and feeding the m with hypoxanthine.The models were ig given with modified Simiaowan (MSW)50 g·kg -1 or EFC 1 2.5,25 and 50 g·kg -1 consecutively for 5 d.The models were treated with MSW or EFC 50 g·kg -1 for 3 d.After the final treatment,the uric acid concen-trations in seru m and urine were determined by an auto matic bioche mistry analyzer.The activity of xan-thine oxidase (XOD )in the serum and liver was determined by enzymic colorimetric method.The activity of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP)and uricase was detected by spectrophotometry. RESULTS Comparedwithnormalcontrolgroup,theserumlevelofuricacidinbothmodelgroupswas remarkably increased(P<0.01 ).Compared to model control group,MSW 50 g·kg -1 and EFC 12.5, 25 and 50 g·kg -1 significantly reduced the serum level of uric acid(P<0.05,P<0.01 ),but increased the activity of erythrocyte PNP(P<0.01 )in the oxonic acid potassium-induced hyperuricemia rats. MSW 50 g·kg -1 and EFC 50 g·kg -1 elevated the activity of liver uricase in the nicotinic acid-induced hyperuricemia rats(P<0.05).EFC 50 g·kg -1 also significantly decreased the serum XOD activity of hyperuricemicrats.CONCLUSION EFCsignificantlyinhibitstheserumlevelofuricacidinhyperurice-mic rats,which might involve down-regulation of protein levels of serum XOD to inhibit the production of uric acid and activation of uricase to pro mote the deco mposition of uric acid.

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical phenotype and gene mutation analysis of a hereditary abnormal fibrinogenemia family and explore its molecular pathogenesis. METHODS: The STA-R automatic hemagglutination analyzer to detect the proband and its family members (3 generations of 5 people) of prothrombin time(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen activity (Fg: C), D-dimer (D-D), fibrinogen and fibrin degradation products (FDPs), plasminogen activity (PLG: A); The plasma levels of Fg: C and fibrinogen (Fg: Ag) were measured by Clauss method and immunoturbidimetry respectively. All exons and flanking sequences of FGA, FGB and FGG genes of fibrinogen were amplified by PCR, and the PCR products were purified and sequenced for gene analysis. The model was analyzed by Swiss software. RESULTS: The PT and APTT of the proband, her mother and sister were slightly prolonged, TT was significantly extend, Fg: C decreased significantly, Fg: Ag, PLG: A, D-D and FDPs are within the normal range; Her brother and daughter of the results are normal. Genetic analysis showed that g.7476 G>A heterozygous missense mutation in exon 8 of FGG gene resulted in mutations in arginine at position 275 of fibrinogen gamma D domain to histidine (Arg275His). Her mother and sister have the same Arg275His heterozygous mutation, brother and daughter for the normal wild type. CONCLUSION The heterozygous missense mutation of FGG gene Arg275His in patients with hereditary dysfibrinogenemia is associated with a decrease in plasma fibrinogen activity.
