Objective To study the clinical significance of changes of plasma GMP-140 and lipid levels in patients with acute pancreatitis.Methods GMP-140 was determined by ELISA and plasm a lipid levels were determined with an auto-biochemical analyzer in 58 patients with acute pancreatitis and in 33 healthy(individuals) as control group.Results The levels of plasma GMP-140, total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein(LDL-C) in acute pancreatitis were higher than in the that control group(P

Objective To study the effects of a cirrhotic environment on the metastasis of liver cancer in mice.Methods Male BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to two groups:cirrhosis group and control group.The cirrhosis group was treated by an injection of carbon tetrachloride intraperitoneally.H22 liver cancer cells were directly implanted under the capsule of each group after cirrhosis was established.The animals were sacrificed at 1,2,and 3 weeks after the operation.The metastatic behavior of the cancer cells was observed by the naked eye and microscopically.Additionally,the adhesion ability of the liver was assessed by measuring the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1),E-selectin,and E-cadherin.Results After the operation,the cirrhosis group showed an obvious metastatic tendency in both intrahepatic (14/19) and extrahepatic ways (4/19),compared with the control group's intrahepatic (5/17) and extrahepatic ways (1/17) (P＜0.05).Immunohistochemisty for VCAM-1 and E-selectin showed a significant increase in the cirrhosis (P＜0.05).However,there was no difference observed in the E-cadherin between the cirrhosis and control group.Conclusion A cirrhotic liver environment may promote the metastasis of liver cancer cells by increasing the ability of liver adhesion.

Objective:To explore the relationship between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/dele‐tion (I/D) polymorphism and familial essential hypertension (EH) .Methods :Fluorescent in situ hybridization stai‐ning DNA sequencing test was used to detect ACE gene I/D genotype frequency and allele frequency in 46 familial EH patients (familial EH group) ,64 EH patients without family history (non‐familial EH group) and 43 healthy people (healthy control group) .Results:In healthy control group ,non -familial EH group ,familial EH group ACE gene DD genotype frequency was 11.6% ,32.3% and 37.0% ;distribution frequency of D allele was 33.7% , 52.3% and 57.6% respectively .Compared with healthy control group ,there were significant rise in ACE gene DD genotype and D allele frequency in familial EH group and non -familial EH group (P<0.05 or <0.01) ,but there were no significant difference between familial EH group and non‐familial EH group (P>0.05) .Conclusion:ACE gene DD genotype and D allele may be genetic predisposing genes of patients with essential hypertension ,and there is no significant difference in genetic constituent ratio between familial EH patients and non‐familial EH patients .

Objective: To expound the effect of Yiwei Ning in treating endometriosis through measuring Fas/FasL protein expression.Method:The female Wistar rats were divided into five groups randomly.After 8 weeks of administration,expression of Fas/FasL protein were determined.Results: There were significant difference in the positive expression of Fas/FasL protein between Yiwei Ning group and the control group(P
