Recent studies suggest that astrocyte elevated gene 1 ( AEG-1 ) is almost highly expressed in all types of malignant solid tumors and correlates with poor prognosis,which becomes a prognostic marker for many kinds of tumors.As a strongly basic protein,AEG-1 possesses a transmembrane domain and multiplenuclear localization signals.It is present in the cell membrane,cytoplasm and nucleus.As an oncogene,AEG-1 palys an important role in a virety of malignant biological behaviors of cancer,which range from cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration,adhesion,invasion to tumor angiogenesis and chemotherapy resistance.Its critical role in tumor genesis and progression has made it a potential therapeutic target.

Objective To study the epidemical status of notifiable infectious diseases in navy from 1992 to 2006,in order to set a scientific basis for working out the measures of preventing from infectious diseases.Methods The reported data were classified by the current national approach and descriptively analyzed concerning infectious diseases during a period of 1992 to 2006 based on the Infectious Disease Surveillance and Reporting System of Chinese PLA.Results 6626 cases of 34 different notifiable infectious diseases were reported in PLA Navy during 1992-2006.Class A,B and C notifiable infectious disease were all reported.There was one death case.Viral hepatitis,dysentery and pulmonary tuberculosis ranked the top situation composing 78.84% of the total cases.The types of infectious diseases during 1992-1999 were less than that during 2000-2006,while the incidence was opposite.Gastrointestinal diseases were the major infectious diseases,accounting for 50.89%.The reported incidence of gastrointestinal diseases declined,and that of respiratory diseases ascended.Blood-borne and sexually transmitted infectious diseases accounted for 18.04%.Natural focal and arthropod-borne disease accounted for 4.95%.Conclusion Certain achievements in prevention and control of infectious diseases have been made since the present century.However,gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases should remain to be regarded,especially for viral hepatitis,pulmonary tuberculosis,dysentery,chicken pox and mumps.In the meantime the propaganda and education on the knowledge of disease prevention should be strengthened among the focus groups.

Objective To investigate the effect of endoplasmic reticulum stress in renal damage caused by hyperlipidemia. Methods Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: normal control group (NC, n=20) and high-fat group (HF, n=20). Rats in NC group were fed with normal diet while those in HF group were fed with high-fat diet. Five rats in each group were randomly chosen in week 4, 8, 12 and 18. Serum lipid, urine protein in 24 hours and the pathological changes of renal tissues were observed; the apoptosis of renal cells was detected by TUNEL staining; the expression of GRP78 protein in the kidney was examined by immunohistochemistry. The expression of GRP78 mRNA and CHOP mRNA was examined by RT-PCR. Results Compared with those in NC group, serum lipid as well as the expression of GRP78 mRNA and protein in the kidney were increased in week 4, 8, 12 and 18 in HF group(P<0.05). In contrast, urine protein in 24 hours, the apoptosis index of renal cells and the expression of CHOP mRNA were increased in week 8, 12 and 18 (P<0.05). Conclusion CHOP pathway of endoplasmic reticulum stress is involved in renal damage caused by hyperlipidemia.

AIM: To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in renal injury caused by hyperlipidemia and the influence effect of simvastatin. METHODS: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: rats in control group (n=10) were fed with normal diet; rats in high fat group (n=10) were fed with high fat diet; animals in simvastatin+high fat group (n=10) were fed with high fat diet and were received simvastatin 10 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) by gastric irrigation. After 18 weeks, the quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum cholesterol and triglycerides levels were tested. The pathological changes of renal tissue were observed under optic microscope. The expressions of GRP78 and p-JNK in renal tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry. The apoptotic cells in the kidney were detected by TUNEL staining. The mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP were examined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum lipid, the expressions of GRP78 and p-JNK proteins, the mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP as well as the apoptotic cells in renal tissues were increased in high fat group (P<0.01).The quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum lipid, the expression of GRP78 and p-JNK proteins, the mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP as well as the apoptotic cells in renal tissues were remarkably reduced in simvastatin+high fat group than those in high fat group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The endoplasmic reticulum stress is engaged in the renal injury caused by hyperlipidemia. The simvastatin play a role in renal protection by inhibiting the endoplasmic reticulum stress in the kidney.

[Objective] To investigate the effects of the bioactive constituents of green tea polyphenols epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) function of HepG2 cells.[Methods] The optimal concentration and cell proliferation of HepG2 cells were determined by CCK8 assay,and Western blotting was used to determine LDLR and PCSK9 protein levels,respectively,and LDL uptake in HepG2 cells was detected by fluorescence microscope.[Results] EGCG elevated LDLR protein expression,reduced PCSK9 protein expression and promoted LDL uptake in HepG2 cells.[Conclusion] EGCG may increase LDLR abundance by down-regulating PCSK9 protein and attenuating LDLR protein degradation,which providing a new approach for lipid lowering therapy.

Objective To examine clusters of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and their associations with clinical features in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods It was a retrospective study.113 SLE patients were reviewed from March 2010 to May 2012 in Department of Rheumatology,Jinhua Central Hospital.ANA and specific autoantibodies to 15 kinds of nuclear antigens were tested by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIF) and line immunoassay (LIA) respectively.Hierarchical clustering method was performed to analyze specific clusters of ANA profiles in SLE.Chi-square tests were used to investigate relationship between antibody clusters and clinical features of SLE.Results The positive rate of LIA for ANA was 97.3％,consistent with IIF method,and the total accordance rate of the both methods was 98.2％.Thirteen kinds of antigen-specific antibodies were detected in SLE patients by LIA.Clustering analysis for these antibodies showed three specific clusters in SLE,Nuc/His/dsDNA cluster (C1),low-Ro/low-La cluster (C2),and Ro/Sm/RNP cluster (C3),accounting for 36.3％,24.8％,38.9％ of the total cases respectively.There were significant difference of AST levels among three clusters [(32.62 ± 21.92)U/L,(25.56 ± 16.63) U/L,(50.41 ± 60.86) U/L respectively for C1,C2 and C3].High incidences of chronic cutaneous lupus,abnormal renal indicators and inflammatory synovitis were found in all three clusters.Besides,there were significant differences among three clusters for the incidences of chronic cutaneous lupus (39.0％,39.3％,63.6％ respectively for C1,C2,C3) and leukopenia/lymphopenia (56.1％,25.0％,56.8％ respectively for C1,C2,C3) (P ＜ 0.05).Patients in Ro/Sm/RNP cluster showed higher incidences of lupus nephritis (43.2％/26.8％ or 39.3％); patients in low-Ro/low-La cluster showed low risk of hypertension (7.1％/19.5％ or 22.7％) ; patients in Nuc/His/dsDNA cluster showed high incidences of thrombocytopenia (41.5％/21.4％ or 25.0％) and high risk of lung or upper respiratory tract infection (46.3％/28.6％ or 29.5％),but low incidence of neurologic symptoms (0％/ 3.6％ ％ or 11.4％).Conclusion Three characterized ANA clusters are identified in SLE patients in this pilot study.Different clusters are associated with certain clinical features and complications ofSLE.However,the correlations found in this study need to be investigated further in larger populations.
