RET gene is an important oncogene,which is closely associated with the development of various types of human tumors. The mainly mechanisms of RET gene associated tumor are mutation and over-expression of wild type. Activated RET protein participates in the proliferation,apoptosis,metastasis through some signal pathways and influences the tumorigenesis and development.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of nano-alumina(nano-Al2 O3 )on mitophagy in primary cortical neuronal cells from Wistar newborn rats. METHODS The purity of neuronal cells was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)assay was performed to determine the viability of the cells treated with 13 nm nano-Al2 O3 0.5 mmol·L-1 for 12,24 and 48 h,respectively. The mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)was detected by flow cytometry analysis . The ultrastructure of mitochondria and mitophagy vacuoles was observed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Auto-phagic vacuoles were observed by dansylpentanediamine(MDC)staining and the expression of autoph-agy related protein Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/ Ⅰ was determined by Western blotting. Mitophagy was observed by Lysotracker and Mitotracker staining respectively. RESULTS More than 95% cells were neuronal cells. The activity of LDH in the supernatant liquid exposed to nano-Al2 O3 for 12 and 24 h groups was sig-nificantly increased compared with the control group(P﹤0.05). After exposure to nano-Al2 O3 ,the mito-chondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased compared with the control group( P ﹤0.01). The results of TEM displayed mitochondrial swelling and the formation of vacuoles and mitophagy in nano-Al2 O3 groups. MDC positive fluorescence particles were observed and the expression of autophagy related protein Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/ Ⅰ was increased in nano-Al2 O3 groups compared with the control group( P ﹤ 0. 05 ). The result of Lysotracker and Mitotracker colocalization showed the fusion of mitochondria and lysosomals. CONCULSION Nano-Al2 O3 may induce autophagy and mitochondria damage in neuronal cells while the damaged mitochondria may be removed by mitophagy.

Objective To evaluate the effects of SHENG JI YU HONG herbs loading on modified gelatin sponges on the wound healing of mechanical trauma.Methods The round size of 1.8cm diameter of full thickness back skin was cut mechanically and covered with petrolatum gauzes,modified gelatin sponges,SHENG JI YU HONG plasters and SHENG JI YU HONG herbs loading on modified gelatin sponges respectively.On day3,day7 and day14 after model mading,the wound surface healing rate,the amount of hydroxyproline,hemoglobin,the number of capillaries and the cells with positive rhVEGF165 by immunochemical method inside granulation of the wound were detected individually.Results On day3,the wound surface healing rate and the number of capillaries and the cells with positive rhVEGF165 of SHENG JI YU HONG herbs loading on modified gelatin sponges were significant enhanced than those in the other groups.On day14,all the experimental indicators of SHENG JI YU HONG herbs loading on modified gelatin sponges were better than those in the other groups with P

Objective To detect cytokeratin in routine pathology negative regional lymph nodes postoperatively in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). To investigate the relationship of lymph node micrometastasis in P-TNM stages NSCLC and survival rates. Methods From Jan. 1996 to Dec. 2003, 107 paraffin-embedded specimens of T1-T4N0-N1M0 NSCLC patients were collected. Anti-cytokeratin(CK) an- tibody AE1/AE3 was applied to detect cytokeratin with Envision~(TM) method in routine pathological negative re- gion lymph nodes in NSCLC, and selected negative control, positive control and blank control. The pulmo- nary hilar lymph node micrometastasis was upward regulated with stage pCK-N1, mediastinal lymph node mi- crometastatsis was upward regulated with stage pCK-N2. The result applied to SPSS11.0 software to process. Results The CK positive rate was 29.9% in all the patients. The CK positive rate was 27% (21/78), 30% (7/23), 67% (4/6)in stage p-Ⅰ, p-Ⅱand p-Ⅲ, respectively. All these data showed the tendency by which detectable rate increased and was accompanied by disease progress. Comparing the annual survival rate and median survival time of the non-micrometastasis group with the mierometastasis group in two groups, the survival rate difference was statistically significant. Comparing the annual survival rate and median sur- vival time in pCK-ⅢA stage with p-Ⅰ-Ⅱstage, pCK-ⅢA stage annual survival rate and median survival time was significantly different (P=0.020). Similarly, comparing the survival rate in pCK-ⅡB stage with p-ⅠB stage, pCK-ⅡB stage survival rate was significantly different(P=0.059). Comparing the survival time of pCK-ⅢA stage with p-Ⅲstage, pCK-ⅡB stage, with p-ⅡB stage, euther survival time difference was statistically significant (P=0.838, 0.518). Conclusions The rate of positive cytokeratin increase is ac- companied by the disease progress in NSCLC. Positive cytokeratin has disadvantagious prognosis. It is showed that pCK-N1 may be equal to p-N1 and pCK-N2 which also may be equal to p-N2. Micrometastasis may affect the UICC staging currently in use.

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential neurotoxicity of nano-alu mina (<50 n m)in vivo, we treated the ICR mouse with the nano-alu mina to investigate the mitochondrial da mage of nerve cells on morphology and function.METHODS Adult male mice were exposed to nano-alu mina (<50 n m)of 0,25,50 and 75 mg·kg -1 by nasal instillation for 1 month.Then we observed the mitochondrial ultra-structure of the nerve cells in CA3 region of hippoca mpus,and measured the mean dia meter in every group.The activities of Na +-K +-ATPase and Ca2 +-Mg2 +-ATPase were tested by the determination of the inorganic phosphorus,which was the deco mposition product of ATPase.Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of COX-Ⅳ,Beclin1 ,LC3Ιand LC3Ⅱ.RESULTS Co mpared with 0 and 25 mg·kg -1 groups exposed to Al2 O3 nanopartilces (Al2 O3 NPs),the mitochondria of CA3 region in hip-poca mpus in 50 mg·kg -1 group beca me ede matous and swollen with sparse and broken cristae sur-rounding the nuclear,and the mean dia meter was higher(0.49 ±0.02 μm,P <0.05).But co mpared with 50 mg·kg -1 group,the mitochondria in 75 mg·kg -1 group beca me s maller with inner cristae of high density,and the mean dia meter was lower(0.36 ±0.02 μm,P<0.05).The enzy me activity of the mito-chondria in cerebral cortex decreased dose-dependently with exposure,the activities of Na +-K +-ATPase in 50 and 75 mg·kg -1 groups(6.37 ±0.22 kU·g -1 protein,5.48 ±1 .53 kU·g -1 protein)and Ca2 +-Mg2 +-ATPase in 50 and 75 mg·kg -1 groups (3.21 ±0.99 kU·g -1 protein,3.28 ±0.15 kU·g -1 protein)were lower than the 0 mg·kg -1 group(P<0.05).Meanwhile,the Ca2 +-Mg2 +-ATPase in 50 and 75 mg·kg -1 groups showed lower activities in co mparison with the 25 mg·kg -1 group.The 75 mg·kg -1 group expressed higher level of the COX-Ⅳ protein 1 .35 ±0.66(P<0.05)than other groups.Both expression of Beclin1 protein and rate of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰin 75 mg·kg -1 group were more than the 0 mg·kg -1 group. CONCLUSION The mitochondrial dysfunction may be the potential neurotoxicity of nano-alu mina,and the da maged mitochondria were cleared by autophagy.

Objective Rhabdomyolysis (RM) is a common disorder resulting from a large variety of causes. Acute injury is one of the main reasons. The purpose is to describe the MRI manifestations of rhabdomyolysis caused by 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan province and to discuss their importance in diagnosis and treatment of rhabdomyolysison in clinic practice. Methods Three patients with rhebdomyolysis caused by earthquake were studied via 1.5 T MRI. In all the patients, T, and T2 weighted sequences with and without fat suppression, and short time inversion recovery (STIR) of both lower extremities were obtained in axial, coronal and sagittal planes. All patients were given contrast material during imaging, and MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) of both lower extremity vessels were performed. The MRI characteristics of damaged extremities in 3 cases were studied. Results MRI showed swelling of the affected muscles and subcutaneous fat tissue on both T1 and T2 weighted images. The margins of involved muscles were blurred. On T1 weighted images, swollen muscles showed equal or slightly decreased intensity with small patterns of increased intensity in some local areas. On T2 weighted and STIR sequences, the affected muscles showed inhomogeneons increased signal intensity with clearer margin. Slight fluid collection in spatium intermusculare was observed. Contrast-enhanced scanning showed nonhomologous intensification of damaged muscles, the enhancement inside the muscles was decreased when compared with normal muscles. The locations of all these abnormal intensity were correlated with the injury history and clinic physical examinations. MRA showed no lower extremity vessels were affected. Conclusion MRI has very high sensitivity in detecting the injury of muscles. It's very useful in evaluating the extent and severity of muscles affected in rhabdomyolysis caused by trauma. Also it's very valuable to evaluate the condition of blood vessels in involved extremity for predicting the prognosis of the disease. Therefore MRI possesses a very important role in the diagnosis and treatment of RM.

Objective To understand the current development situation and the existing problems and deficiencies of the exercise cardiopulmonary rehabilitation development in Level 2 and above the general hospitals in Chongqing, and to analyze and find out the factors restricting the development of cardiopul-monary rehabilitation in Chongqing, and put forward suggestions for reform and development. Methods Through literature research, field visits and questionnaire survey, the condition of 115 Level Two compre-hensive hospital's rehabilitation and exercise cardiopulmonary rehabilitation development in Chongqing was understood. Among them, 500 questionnaires were sent to 6 hospitals concerned with cardiopulmonary rehabilitation service, and 483 questionnaires were received with 351 valid questionnaires. Epidata3.1 and SPSS 13.0 statistical software were used to gather research data. Results The settings rate of 115 secondary general hospital rehabilitation was 41.7％, while only 6 hospitals carried out cardiac rehabilitation and cardio pulmonary rehabilitation. There were few rehabilitation beds, the basic staffing was inadequate and the medical staff ratio was only 2 to 2.6. Besides, there is a severe shortage of full-time health instructors.Conclusion The clinical sports cardiopulmonary rehabilitation in Chongqing is as following: The construc-tion of hospital related policies is lagging behind, the overall development of rehabilitation therapy is unbal-anced, the development is late and the level of operation is low. While the lack of professional health movement means that instructors and medical staff have cognitive impairment, residents have low accep-tance of sports rehabilitation therapy and there are insufficient pathogens, which are the main factors that restrict the development of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.

Aim To establish a postpartum depression animal model,assess the abnormal maternal behaviors of depressive dams,and observe the rapid antidepres-sant effects of the Yuejuganmaidazaotang (YG)on the PPD model.Methods Thirty-two female Balb /c were randomly assigned to two groups,the control group (Control,con)and the pre-pregnancy stressed group (Vehicle,veh),and vehicle was subjected to 3 weeks chronic restraint stress.After the last stressor,the pre-pregnancy stressed group was housed with a male.Af-ter about 4 weeks later,the mice gave birth to pups. Then at 3 weeks postpartum,we tested the maternal depressive-like behaviors,including sucrose preference test,forced swimming test and novelty suppressed feeding test.Both YG and Ketamine were single ad-ministered 24 hours before behavior test,with single saline for control group and PPD model group.Results After 3 weeks postpartum,the vehicle mice showed depression-like behaviors.Reduced preference in drinking sucrose solution was found in SPT (P <0.01 ).Immobility in FST was significantly increased in vehicle groups (P <0.01 ).In NSFT,the vehicle group displayed a significantly increased latency and reduced unit of food intake compared with control group(P <0.01,P <0.01 ).Acute YG improved per-formance in the SPT(P <0.01),FST (P <0.01)and NSF (P <0.01,P <0.01),which was similar to ket-amine.Conclusions Chronic pre-pregnancy stress can induce dams into postpartum depression.Acute YG exert fast antidepressant effect on this PPD model simi-lar to ketamine.
