Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is a kind of histone deacetylase which dependents on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.It is involved in the occurrence and development of tumors.Data show that SIRT1 is highly expressed in many tumors,such as gastric cancer,breast cancer,prostate cancer and so on.On the other hand,the expression of SIRT1 is lower in many other types of tumors,including glioblastomas,bladder cancer,ovarian cancer and so on.Therefore,the role of SIRT1 in tumor formation process is still uncertain and controversial.

To establish a scientific and feasible evaluation index system and to assess medical research programs subsidized by the Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau in 2002-2006, so as to provide reference to aid the management department in decision-making and better guidance of research projects. Delphi expert consultation was employed to construct an evaluation index system, and used the system to comprehensively assess the funded projects. In the end, we found that the funding of the Shanghai Health Bureau had certain promoting effect in optimization of research team, startup of scientific research, training of research personnel, and the development of disciplines.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of zinc finger gene 217 (ZNF217) in human papillary thyroid carcinoma.Methods The expressions of ZNF217 mRNA and protein were detected by quantitative realtime PCR and Western blot in papillary thyroid carcinoma tissues (n =20) and adjacent normal tissues (n =20),and the data were analyzed.Results The expressions of ZNF217 mRNA and protein in papillary thyroid carcinoma were significantly higher than those in adjacent normal tissues (96.72 ± 44.19 vs 4.86 ±3.55,0.994 ± 0.172 vs 0.195 ± 0.061,both P＜0.01),being higher in the papillary thyroid carcinoma with capsule invasion compared with that without capsule invasion (P＜0.01).The expressions of ZNF217 mRNA and protein in papillary thyroid carcinoma were not related to gender,age,tumor size,TNM stage or lymph node metastasis (all P＞0.05).Conclusions The overexpression of ZNF217 may be associated with the oncogenesis and progress of papillary thyroid carcinoma and capsule invasion,and thus is expected to become a new target for prevention and treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of different properties and hemisphere of stroke on trunk control ability and the relationships between the trunk control and cognition, activities of daily living (ADL).Methods75 inpatient stroke patients were divided into the group A (right hemorrhages, n=15), group B (right infarcts, n=25), group C (left hemorrhages, n=14) and group D (left infarcts, n=21). All cases in four groups were assessed by Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE), Sheikh Trunk Control Evaluation and Modified Brathel Index (MBI) before and after rehabilitation therapy.ResultsThe scores of Sheikh and MBI of the group A and group C were significantly lower than that of the group B and group D before treatment ( P<0.05～0.001). After treatment, the scores of MMSE, Sheikh Trunk Control Evaluation and MBI of the patients in four groups all increased, but the scores of the patients in the group A and group C increased more than other groups. There was no significant difference in Sheikh scores between right and left hemisphere stroke. All groups had high relationship between Sheikh Trunk Control Evaluation and MBI before and after treatment. There was no relationship between Sheikh Trunk Control Evaluation and MMSE before treatment, but having part relationship after treatment.ConclusionThe trunk control of hemorrhage patients are damaged more severe than that of the infarct cases, but they resume also faster. There are no different between right and left hemisphere stroke in trunk control impairment. The ability of trunk control has high relationship with ADL before and after treatment, it has no relationship with cognize before treatment but has relationship after treatment.

Objective To explore promoter methylation of HIC1 gene and the expression of HIC1/SIRT1 related to the occurrence, development, and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods Using Bisulfite sequencing PCR to analyze the promoter methylation of HIC1 gene. Using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot to analyze expression differences of HIC1 and SIRT1 genes in tissues of papillary thyroid carcinoma(40 cases) and in adjacent normal thyroid(40 cases), of which datas were analyzed by statistics. Results The degree of HIC1 gene promoter methylation was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues(P<0. 01). The degree of HIC1 gene promoter methylation in papillary thyroid carcinoma was related to lymph node metastasis, age, and the tumor-node-metastasis stages(P<0. 01). Compared with the expression of HIC1 mRNA and protein in adjacent normal thyroid tissue, that in papillary thyroid carcinoma was significantly lower(P<0. 01), while the expression of SIRT1 mRNA and protein in papillary thyroid carcinoma was significantly higher(P<0. 01). The lower expression of HIC1 mRNA and protein in the tumor tissues was related to the stage of lymph node metastasis, age, and the tumor-node-metastasis stages(P<0. 05). There was a strong negative correlation between the degree of HIC1 gene promoter methylation and expression of HIC1 in papillary thyroid carcinoma(P<0. 05). The expression of HIC1 mRNA and protein between that of SIRT1 also showed a strong negative correlation(P<0. 01). Conclusion Promoter hypermethylation of HIC1 and aberrant expression of HIC1/SIRT1 in papillary thyroid carcinoma may play a significant role in the oncogenesis and progress of papillary thyroid carcinoma. HIC1 is expected to become a new marker for prevention and treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
