Objective To investigate the effect of amyloid on the expression of kinesin superfamily(KIFs) genes in cortex of Wistar rats. Methods The animal model of Alzheimer's disease was prepared by injection of amyloid into brain ventricle of rats.The learning impairments were verified by water maze test.The levels of mRNA for six kinesin superfamily genes,kinesin,KIFlb,KIFlc,KIF3a,KIF3c,and KIF4,in cortex of rats,were estimated by real-time RT-PCR. Results Two weeks after amyloid injection,the rats showed significant learning impairments.In cortex,the expression of KIF genes was increased after amyloid injection.Conclusion\ The increase of KIF gene may be an evidence for the excitotoxity of amyloid to neurons.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion in treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Methods 32 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism were selected and randomly divided into two groups:the observation group(16 cases) and the control group(16 cases). The patients in the observation group were treated with hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion, and in the control group, the patients were treated with conventional hemodialysis. Then the levels of serum phosphorus, serum calcium, serum intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH) and skin itching,and weakness and so on were compared. Results After treatment,the level of iPTH in the observation group decreased significantly(P ＜ 0.05) ,but in control group it decreased not obviously, and compared with it before treatment there was no significant difference. After treatment, in the two groups the level of serum phosphorus was significantly lower(P ＜0.05) ,and the level of serum calcium was significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05), and the level of serum phosphorus and iPTH had significant differences between the two groups (P ＜0. 05) ,while no significant difference in serum calcium. In the observation group,skin itching,muscle weakness and other symptoms were improved significantly compared with those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion in treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism was very effective.

Objective To explore the expression of cell apoptosis regulatory elements in esophageal canceration course. Methods 60 specimens of esophageal carcinoma and corresponding adjacent no cancerous tissue were detected quantitatively by propidium iodide(PI) stain and indirect immunofluorescence of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC) using flow cytometry(FCM) equipment. Results Expression of bcl-2 and c-FLIP in esophageal carcinoma was significantly higher, and Fadd, Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 were significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues (P <0.01). There was positive correlation between Fadd and Caspase-8 gene (P <0.01 or P <0.05). The expression of Fadd was positively correlated to Caspase-8. Comparing with normal epithelium and dysplasia tissue, DNA content and heteroploid cells were increased significantly in esophageal carcinoma. Conclusion During the esophageal canceration course, expressions of relevant cell apoptosis regulatory elements were abnormal. DNA content and heteroploid cells were increased significantly in esophageal carcinoma.
