Journal of Chinese Physician 2010;12(5):615-618
Objective To explore the expression of P16, TGF-β1 and CD44v6 in gastric carcinoma and the relationship between their expression and clinicopathological features. Methods The expressions of P16, TGF-β1 and CD44v6 in 78 cases of gastric carcinoma, 20 cases gastric epithelial dysplasia and 25 cases normal gastric tissues were detected by immunohistochemistiy (SP method). Results The expressions of P16 in gastric carcinoma (46. 2% ) and gastric epithelial dysplasia (60. 0% ) were markedly lower than that in normal gastric tissues (92. 0% ). The expressions of CD44v6 in gastric carcinoma (51.3%) and gastric epithelial dysplasia (45.0% ) were markedly higher than that in normal gastric tissues (4.0% ). The expression of TGF-β1 in gastric carcinoma (65.4% ) was much higher than the counterparts in normal gastric group (12. 0% ) and gastric epithelial dysplasia group (35.0% ). P16 was positively correlated with the differentiation degree of gastric carcinoma, the depth of invasion, lymphatic metastasis and TNM stage ( P < 0. 05 ), and it had no significant correlation with tumor size,vessel tumor thrombus and the progression of the disease. CD44v6 was positively related with the invasive depth of gastric carcinoma, lymphatic metastasis, progression and TNM stage ( P <0.05) and had no significant correlation with differentiation degree of tissue, tumor size and vessel tumor thrombus ( P >0.05). TGF-β1l was positively correlated with the differentiation degree of gastric carcinoma, the depth of invasion, lymphatic metastasis and TNM stage ( P < 0.05 ) and had no significant correlation with tumor size, vessel tumor thrombusand the progression of the disease. There was a significant positive correlation between the expressions of CD44v6 and TGF-β1 of on gastric carcinoma ( r = 0. 532, P < 0.05 ). And a negative correlation was found between CD44v6 and P16 ( r = - 0. 615, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions P16 ,TGF-β1 and CD44v6 may play a role in the tumorigenesis and progression of gastric carcinoma in some degree. Combined detection of P16, TGF-β1 and CD44v6 may be helpful to judge the degree of malignancy and potential lymph node metastasis and evaluate the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the major types and clinical manifestations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)mutations in Chinese patients with Leber′s hereditary optic neuropathy(LHON). Methods A total of 119 patients with bilateral optic neuropathy from 117 pedigrees, including 37 with determinate diagnosis of LHON(group A) and 82 with suspected LHON(group B),were tested for mtDNA mutations by using single-strand conformational polymorphism, mutation-specific primer polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. Pertinent clinical data and history of the patients with the 11778 mutation were collected. Results Nucleotide positions(np)11778 mutation and np 14484 mutation was found in 33 (89.2%) and 3 (8.1%) patients respectively in group A, while np 11778 mutation was obtained in 26 (31.7%)in group B. No 3460 mutation was found in group A or B. The clinical manifestations of 59 patients with np 11778 mutation were as follows: acute or chronic visual loss,no ophthalmalgia, the age of onset of 10-25, and either a central or paracentral scotoma in perimetry. The visual recovery rate was 8.6%~11.6%. Conclusion Chinese patients with LHON have a very high incidence of np 11778 mutation and the clinical manifestations of the patients with np 11778 mutation are similar to those of Caucasian patients.

Objective: To investigate the curative effects of apoptin on the multidrug-resistant model, of human osteosarcoma cell line (R-OS-732). Methods: 363 bpVP 3 gene was cloned into the vector pIRES1 and the recombinant eukaryon expression vector pIRVP3 was transfected into R-OS-732 cells with liposome. The expression of apoptin gene at transcription level was proved by RT-PCR. The pathological changes of the cells was observed by light microscope and electronmicroscope. The transfected R-OS-732 cells were collected after 48 hours. The genomic DNA extracted from the cells was observed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The apoptosis rate of the cells was analysed by flow cytometry. Results: The expression of apoptin gene at transcription level had been proved by RT-PCR. The construction changes of the two groups were obviously different under light microscope: most of R-OS-732 cells in the transfected group existed in form of being away from the bottom of the culture dish after 24 hours, in form of apoptosis after 48 hours and in form of necrosis after 72 hours; but those cells in the controlled group grow luxuriantly. And under electronmicroscope there was much change of cell nucleus between the two groups. DNA ladder of the transfected cells was observed through agarose gel electrophoresis only one band was observed in the controlled group; but bands of fragmented DNA observed in ositive control group. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the apoptosis rate of the cells in the transfected group was relatively higher than that of the controlls( P

To study and compare the protective effects of Cordyceps sinensis from different habitats on acute injury of hepatic tissue induced by carbon tetrachloride ( CCl4 ) . Methods:The rat model of acute injury of hepatic tissue induced by CCl4 was established. The biochemical indicators of alanine aminotranferease ( ALT) and aspartate aminotransferease ( AST) in the serum and superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and L-glutathione( GSH) in the liver tissue were detected, and the liver tissue HE staining was used for the histopathology determination. Results:Compared with those in the model group, the levels of AST and ALT in the serum were sig-nificantly reduced, the levels of SOD and GSH in the liver tissue were notably increased, and the necrosis of liver cells was improved in Cordyceps sinensis groups at low, medium and high dose from different habitats (P<0. 05), however, the differences between the two different habitats were not significant (P>0. 05). Conclusion: Cordyceps sinensis from Qinghai and Tibet shows some positive differences in the protective effect on the acute chemical liver injury induced by CCl4 in rats,however, the differences are not remarka-ble.

Objective To investigate the incidence, clinical patterns, and species distribution of pathogenic fungi of onychomyeosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis (CVH), and to analyze the relationship between onychomycosis and CVH. Methods From November 2005 to October 2006, direct microscopy and fungal culture were performed on nail samples from CVH patients with clinically suspected onychomycosis in the two largest institutions for communicable disease control in Guangzhou city. The incidence, clinical patterns, and species distribution of pathogenic fungi of onychomycosis were assessed based on the findings in mycologic examinations. Results The study randomly recruited 995 patients with CVH, and onychomycosis was diagnosed in 116 patients. The incidence of onychomycosis was 11.66% in total, 6.20%, 8.59%, 14.09%, 19.67% in patients with mild, moderate, severe and extremely severe CVH respectively, 7.09%, 17.29%, 19.13% and 27.27% in patients with a clinical course of CVH of 0.5-9 years, 10-19 years, 20-29 years, ≥30 years respectively. The most common clinical pattern was distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO, 69.83%), followed by total dystrophic onychomycosis (TDO, 14.66%). Among the pathogenic fungi, dermatophytes amounted to 71.43%, yeasts 21.43%, moulds 7.14%, and Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequently isolated fungus (42.86%). Conclusions The incidence of onychomycosis in patients with CVH is correlated with the severity and course of CVH. Among these patients, the most common clinical pattern is DLSO with the most frequent fungal species being dermatophytes and predominant fungal isolate being Trichophyton rubrum.
