Purpose To investigate the corre1ation of the epiderma1 growth factor receptor( EGFR)gene mutation and amp1ification and protein expression with occurrence and deve1opment of non-sma11 ce11 1ung cancer( NSCLC),and to exp1ore the re1ationship be-tween the mutation and amp1ification of EGFR gene and other c1inica1 patho1ogica1 parameters. Methods qRT-PCR,FISH and immu-nohistochemistry were used to detect EGFR gene(exons 18,19,20 and 21)mutation,amp1ification and protein expression in paraf-fin-embedded tissues of NSCLC. Results EGFR gene(exons 18,19,20 and 21)mutation rate was 58. 18%(32/55)in NSCLC with qRT-PCR techno1ogy,in which the occurrence rate of exon 19 de1etions and exon 21 mutation of L858R was 87. 50%(28/32). EGFR gene mutation rate was significant1y different in gender,smoking history and patho1ogica1 type(P<0. 01),but no statistica1 sig-nificance in age,1ymph node metastasis and TNM staging(P>0. 05). EGFR gene amp1ification rate was 23. 64%(13/55)and its protein expression rate was 70. 91%(39/55). Both EGFR gene mutation and amp1ification was c1ose1y corre1ated(P<0. 05),but the two states of EGFR gene and its protein expression had no corre1ation(P>0. 05). Conclusion EGFR gene mutation with high pro-tein expression of NSCLC is common1y found in fema1e,no-smoking and adenocarinoma patients,who are main candidates of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor( TKI)screening. EGFR gene mutation and amp1ification is typica11y corre1ated,but their consequence is unknown, which needs to be further investigated. EGFR gene mutation and amp1ification is not consistent with protein expression,its under1ying machanism is to be determined.

Purpose To investigate the expression of cell cycle related protein including Cyclin D1,CDK4,p16 and IgH/CCND1 fusion gene in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and their relationship with each other.Methods The expression of cell cycle related protein including Cyclin D1,CDK4,p16 and IgH/CCND1 fusion gene were detected on the 40 cases of MCL (expreimental group) and 20 cases of reactive hyperplasia (control group) by using the combined detection of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry of EnVision two methods.40 cases of MCL were confirmend by using gene rearrangement technique and immunohistochemistry.The threshold of IgH/CCND1 fusion gene of MCL was established in the control group.Results In the experimental group,Cyclin D1 protein positive expression rate was 100%,the positive expression of CDK4 protein rate was 87.50%,p16 protein positive expression rate was 17.50%.Positive rate of IgH/CCND1 fusion gene of 100%.These cell cycle related protein and IgH/CCND1 fusion gene were negative in the control group.Conclusion In MCL,Cyclin D1-CDK4-p16 pathway is consistent with the principle of tumor cell cycle regulation.The establishment of threshold value of IgH/CCND1 fusion gene by FISH technique may provide the basis for the judgement of FISH of the IgH/CCND1 in China.

Objective To optimize the extraction and β-cyclodextrin clathration process of volatile oil in Tianma-Shouwu tablet.Methods The extraction of volatile oil was optimized through the orthogonal design L9(34) with the volatile oil extraction amount as assessment index. The saturated aqueous solution preparation of clathrate form was used. The volume of β-cyclodextrin and volatile oil, clathration temperature, clathration time was investigated by central composite design-response surface methodology, with the score of volatile oil inclusion ratio and utilization ratio as the index. The results were fitted by second-order polynomial equation, and then the best clathration process was determined. Results The optimization extraction process of volatile oil in Tianma-Shouwu tablet was as follows:to add 8 times water,immerse 30 minutes,steam distill 6 hours;and the best clathration process was as follows: the ratio of β-cyclodextrin and volatile oil was 9.50:1, clathration temperature 43 ℃, and clathration time 4.2 hours. Conclusions The optimized extraction and clathration process were reasonable, stabled and repeatable.
