Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(7):489-490,493
P-glycoprotein(P-gp)and CD44 have been characterized and are known to be determinants of multidrug resistance(MDR)and cancer metastases.Recent researches suggest that there is a correlation between P-glycoprotein(MDR)and CD44(invasion and metastases).A better understanding of any relationship between drug resistance and tumor metastasis may lead to more effective tumor treatment.

Objective In order to understand situation of the passive smoking in public places and provide scientific basis for formulating a policy of tobacco control and implement FCTC. Methods Observation on site and investigation by questionnaire in 45 public places, including service halls of government, medical and health units, schools, waiting room of communication, markets in the provincial capital, prefecture cities, county town. Results In 45 public places, there was 53.3% being smoking forbidden sites, 31.1% having no -smoking regulations and 68.9% having ban -smoking signs. It was common that people smoking in public places. Investigation by interception showed that it was easy to find out smoker in public paces. 93% persons investigated were exposed to passive-smoking every day over half hour, over 40% were never against on smoking in front of themselves, over 70% smoker never to ask if other persons agreed on their smoking in front of other people. 64.2% student's fathers were smokers and 44.7% of them exposed to passive-smoking at home in a week. 59.3% students saw his teachers smoking at schools. Conclusions It was a serious problem of public health that smoking in public places. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of rulers and law and strictly implement it, while strengthen propaganda and education in order to reduce passive-smoking and promote FCTC implement.

[Objective]To explore and analyze Professor GUO Weifeng's clinical experience in treating posterior circulation ischemic vertigo. [Methods] By learning with the teacher, collection of relevant information and medical records ,to expound Professor GUO Weifeng 's academic thoughts and clinical experience in posterior circulation ischemic vertigo, from aspects of etiology, pathogenesis, and syndrome differentiation and treatment variation, prescription medication, summarizing the characteristics of his prescriptions and ways of treatment as well as exemplifying them. [Results] Professor GUO Weifeng through many years of clinical practice proposes that the basic pathogenesis of this disease is liver with kidney deficiency and hyperactivity of liver-yang. Because of its more associated with obesity and high blood pressure, high blood lipids, diabetes, always mingle phlegm and stasis. The main treatment method is to nourish the Yin of liver-kidney, pacify liver and extinguish wind. Then, transform phlegm and disperse blood stasis. If pathogenic into collateral for a long time,we need using insect drug for treatment. Clinical treatment should be based on positive and evil of the partial ups and downs, the disease of both, flexible adjustment of medication, it is not limited by present method. [Conclusion] Professor GUO Weifeng 's clinical experience in treating posterior circulation ischemic vertigo is effective and worthy of wide application.

Objective To investigate the influence of an anti-integrin α6 monoclonal antibody (GoH3) on the in vitro infection of a human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT with HPV6/11 virus particles (VP). Methods HaCaT cells were infected in vitro with 4 different concentrations of HPV6/11 VP alone, HPV6/11 VP of 106 copies/ml after incubation with 6 different dilutions of GoH3, or 8 clinical isolates of HPV6/11 VP of 106 copies/ml before or after the incubation with 1∶ 100 dilution of GoH3. After additional culture, the infected HaCaT cells were collected and fluorescence quantitative (FQ)-PCR was performed to detect the HPV DNA load in cells. The inhibition rate of CoH3 on the infection was calculated. Results The viral load was different among the HaCaT cells infected with different concentrations of HPV6/11 VP (P < 0.01). The inhibition rate on the infection positively correlated with the concentration of CoH3 when the dilution was more than 1∶ 100; however, when the dilution was less than 1∶ 100, the increase in CoH3 concentration had no influence on the inhibition rate. The average viral load in HaCaT cells infected with clinical isolates of HPV6/11 VP was (5.81 ± 2.51) × 104 copies/ml in the absence of GoH3, (3.02 ± 1.21) × 104 copies/ml with the presence of CoH3, and the average inhibition rate of GoH3 was (46.9 ± 4.7)%. Conclusions GoH3 could partially suppress the adhesion of HPV6/11 VP to HaCaT cells, hinting that integrin a6 is an important HPV6/11 VP receptor on host cells.

Objective To investigate the expression of integrin α6 mRNA in skin lesions of patients with condyloma acuminata. Methods Sixty outpatients with condyloma acuminate, including 30 primary cases and 30 recurrent cases were enrolled in the study;30 non-condyloma acuminate patients undergoing circumcision were used as normal controls. The expression of integrin α6 mRNA in condyloma acuminata lesions of primary and recurrent cases, as well as in skin samples of normal controls were determined by RTPCR. ANOVA was used to compare the differences among the groups, and Student-Newman-Keuls test(q test)was used for pairwise comparisons. Results Relative contents of integrin α6 mRNA(integrin α6/GAPDH)in normal controls, primary and recurrent condyloma acuminata lesions were 0.25±0.10, 0.79±0.16 and 1.07±0.29, respectively, and the difference was of statistical significance(F=127.687, P=0.001). Conclusion Integrin α6 may be associated with the pathogenesis and recurrence of condyloma acuminate, which may provide a new target for prevention and treatment of the disease.

Objective To investigate the possible protective effect of adenoviral vector expressing interleukin-1β (IL-1β) small hairpin RNA (shRNA) on spinal cord injury (SCI) and its mechanism in rats.Methods Forty-eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups including the Sham, the Vehicle,the Ad-GFP and the Ad-shIL-1β groups.SCI was induced by epidural compression.Motor function of hind limbs was evaluated by Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score, the expressions of green fluorescence in injured spinal cord tissue were observed by fluorescence microscope.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence were also performed.Results The expressions of green fluorescence in injured spinal cord tissue were observed in the Ad-GFP and Ad-shIL-1β groups one day after SCI.Significant functional improvement was observed in the Ad-shIL-1β group (8.17 ± 1.17, 10.17 ± 0.98 and 11.33 ± 0.82, respectively) compared to the Vehicle (4.00 ± 0.89, 5.67 ± 1.03 and 6.17 ± 1.17, respectively) and Ad-GFP (3.83 ± 0.98, 5.33 ± 1.21 and 5.67 ± 1.03, respectively) groups at 7, 14 and 21 days after SCI (P < 0.05).Rats in the Ad-shIL-1β group had less neuronal loss 21 days after SCI.In addition, IL-1β downregulation significantly decreased IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-or (TNF-α) and IL-6 levels (138.83 ± 7.96,143.38 ± 10.20 and 120.43 ± 9.79 in Ad-shIL-1β group;169.33 ± 11.45, 172.33 ± 8.26 and 163.00 ± 9.57 in Vehicle group;172.83 ± 10.85,167.48 ± 8.19 and 159.48 ± 10.98 in Ad-GFP group, respectively) one day after SCI (P < 0.05).Conclusion This study demonstrated that the IL-1β downregulation may have potential therapeutic benefits for improving the outcomes after SCI.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disease. The diagnosis of schizophrenia so far relies heavily on subjective evidence, including self-reported experiences by patients, manifestations described by relatives, and abnormal behaviors assessed by psychiatrists. The diagnosis, monitoring of the disease progression and therapy efficacy assessment are challenging due to the lack of established laboratory biomarkers. Based on the current literature, clinical consensus, guidelines, and expert recommendations, this review highlighted evidence-based potential laboratory biomarkers for the diagnosis of schizophrenia, including genetic biomarkers, neurotransmitters, neurodevelopmental-related proteins, and intestinal flora, and discussed the potential future directions for the application of these biomarkers in this field, aiming to provide an objective basis for the use of these biomarkers in the early and accurate diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis and rehabilitation assessment of schizophrenia.
