Purpose:To explore the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) infection and gastric carcinoma and the role of EBV lytic genes in the tumorigenesis of EBV-gastric carcinomas. Methods:185 gastric carcinoma tissues and 185 corresponding para-carcinoma tissues were tested for EBV genome by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-southern analysis. EBV-encoded small RNA 1(EBER1) of the PCR positive specimens was detected by in situ hybridization (ISH). Gastric carcinoma with positive EBER1 signals was confirmed as EBV-positive gastric carcinoma. RT-PCR and Southern blotting were used to detect the expression of EBV lytic genes (immediately early genes BZLF1 and BRLF1, early genes BARF1 and BHRF1, late genes BcLF1 and BLLF1) in EBV-positive gastric carcinomas. Results:There were 13 EBV positive samples in gastric carcinomas (7.03%). No EBV positive sample was found from corresponding para-carcinomas. The difference of the EBV positivity was significant between carcinoma and corresponding adjacent carcinoma tissues(? 2= 11.0769,P=0.0009). In our series, age, pathological differentiation, clinical stages, lymph node metastasis and location of cancer were not different between EBV-positive and EBV-negative gastric carcinomas in (P=0.973, 0.141, 0.259, 0.586, 0.062, respectively), while sex was significantly different between EBV-positive and EBV-negative gastric carcinomas(? 2=5.2317,P=0.021). The EBV positivity of male was higher than that of female. Of the 13 EBV-associated samples, 7 exhibited BcLF1 transcript and 2 exhibited BHRF1 transcript. The transcripts of BZLF1 were detected in 6 cases, and those of BARF1 also in 6 cases. No BLLF1 and BRLF mRNA were detected in the 13 EBV-positive samples. Conclusions:EBV infection is associated with the development of gastric carcinoma. Lytic EBV infection occurs in part of the EBV-associated gastric carcinomas, and early genes BARF1 and BHRF1 may play an important role in the tumorigenesis of the EBV-positive gastric carcinoma.

BACKGROUND:Cerebral ischemia tolerance can promote proliferation of autologous neural stem cells in the hippocampus of cerebral infarction rats, but panaxtrial saponins effects on the proliferation of autologous neural stem cells in the brain have not been reported. OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationship of panaxtrial saponins, ischemic preconditioning and proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells in the hippocampus of rats at 7 days after cerebral infarction, and to observe the effect on neurobehavioral scores of rats after cerebral infarction. METHODS:Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were included and randomly divided into five groups:sham group, ischemia group, ischemic control group, ischemic preconditioning group, and panaxtrial saponins group. In the latter four groups, acute models of cerebral infarction were established using Zea-Longa method. In the sham group, only an incision was made on the neck. The focal-focal ischemic tolerance models were established with twice suture method in the ischemic preconditioning and panaxtrial saponins groups. Sham operation was instead of ischemic preconditioning in the ischemic control group. In the panaxtrial saponins group, rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg panaxtrial saponins at 7 days before modeling. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 7 days of cerebral infarction, the neurobehavioral score and the number of neural stem cells in the hippocampus were significantly increased in the ischemia group (P<0.01);compared with the ischemia group, the neurobehavioral scores were lowered in the ischemic preconditioning and panaxtrial saponins groups (P<0.01), while the number of neural stem cells in the hippocampus was increased (P<0.01). However, there was no difference between the ischemic preconditioning and panaxtrial saponins groups (P>0.05). In addition, differences in the neurobehavioral scores and the number of neural stem cells in the hippocampus were insignificant between the ischemic control group and ischemia group (P>0.05). These findings indicate that panaxtrial saponins can play a role similar to ischemic tolerance, and thus improve neurologic impairment in rats with cerebral infarction.
