Laterally spreading tumor is a new type of colorectal tumor found recently.For its particular shape and develptment of tumor,LST is divided as an independent tumor.LST is associated with colorectal cancer and more research is done on it .The progress of its epidemiology, oncomolecularbiology, diagnosis and therapy is reviewed.

Septic shock induced by gram negative bacteria is the leading cause of inpatient mortality. Now there are two ways in endotoxin induced cellular response: the indirect way of cytokines and the direct way. The article reviewed mechanisms of the direct intracellular way induced by endotoxin.Paid special attentions to the development of transmembrane, intracellular and intranuclear signalling and looked ahead the application in clinic.

Aim To investigate roles of ROS in oxaliplatin-induced PUMA expression and apoptosis in colon cancer cells.Methods ROS was used as an oxidative stress in vitro and PUMA expression was determined by Western blot analysis,the apoptosis induced by ROS was assessed by Hoechst 33258 dye staining,the proliferation of the colon cancer cells treated with oxaliplatin and antioxidant was determined by MTT assay.Results ROS induced apoptosis and PUMA expression in colon cancer cells;suppression of PUMA expression by stable transfecting PUMA anti-sense vector decreased apoptosis induced by ROS;oxaliplatin-induced PUMA expression was abrogated by antioxidant and the proliferation of colon cancer cells treated with oxalipla-tin was increased by antioxidant.Conclusions Our data suggests that PUMA and ROS play important roles in oxaliplatin-induced apoptosis.Oxaliplatin induces PUMA expression and apoptosis partly through ROS in colon cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of different concentrations of glutnine(Gln) on the procfion of nitric oxide (NO)and reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential in rat heputocytesactivated in by interleukin(IL)-1β.Method The primary cultured rat hepatocytes with high-purity Wfffe isolated from 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley raL, by flirt in situ circulatory collagenase peffusion method.After incubation for hours.hepatocytes were stimulated by saline,or IL-l(1 nmol/L)or IL-I(1 mnol/L)combined with gIne in concentrations rangiIfrom 2 to 10 mmol/L.The culture muln and hepatocytes were collected at 24 hours after stimulation.The concentrations of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and NO in the lnllln were detected by biochemical methods.The mitochondrial membrane potential of the hepatocytes was detected with flow cytometry after incubated with fluorescem probe JC-1.Statistic package ofSPSS 11.5 was used for the data analysand significant differences between mean8 were evaluated byQ、4k analysis.Results The average concentration ofand NOinthe culturemedium afterIL-Istimulationwas 38.2U/L and 72.7tmaol/L,respectively,whichwere sis,cantly big,herthanthose ofcontrol group(7.4 U/L and41.7nol/L,respectively,P<0.01).1hemitochondrial membrane potential ofhepatocytes in IL-lgroup was much lowerthan that in control group(30.O%vs.62.8%.P<0.01).Gin inhibited NO production induced byⅡ,lp,Jeleasing and reduction in mitochondrial II brahetential ofcuhured rat hepatocytes in a dose-dependent HmIll.Conclusions Ghtamine,the most abundant free amino acid in the body,call attenuate hepatocye injury mechateel in vitro by pro-inflammatory cytokine mediated.nlis protective effectmay be associatedwiththeinhibition of NO production and thereby amelioration of mitochondrialfunction.

Objective: To identify variables that significantly predict the intention of NaFeEDTA fortified soy sauce (FeSS) consumption and to develop feasible intervention strategies.Methods: Stratified sampling and random sampling were adopted together.636 women from rural areas and 454 from urban areas completed eligible questionnaires.Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Health Belief Model (HBM) were adopted to design the constructive questionnaire.Path analysis was used to construct the model of intentions to buy FeSS.Results: The model explained 35%(the rural model, RM)or 55%(the urban model, UM) of the variance of behavioral intention.FeSS knowledge directly and indirectly affected the intention to buy FeSS ( the total effect on the intention, 0.151 in RM, 0.368 in UM).And the behavioral intention was also impacted by women's health value and cognition on perceived susceptibility and perceived severity of iron deficiency anemia(IDA) through the behavior identity(0.176 in RM, 0.354 in UM) and attitudes towards behavior(0.161 in RM, 0.091 in UM).Cues, as an external factor, much affected the intention (0.372 in RM, 0.337 in UM).The external control belief was a rather weak factor affecting intention (0.086 in RM, 0.108 in UM).Conclusion: Integrated TPB and HBM could explain the behavioral intention of FeSS consumption among women in Guizhou.Nutrition education should emphasize behavioral attitudes and identity, and improve knowledge of FeSS and perception of IDA, which may help to remove worries about FeSS.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs about 18-25 nucleotides in length,involved in post-transcriptional genes regulation process.Previous studies showed that miRNAs played an important regulatory role in pancreatic development,gene expression,and synthesis and secretion of insulin.A variety of miRNAs which expressed in islet β cells may affect the proliferation and differentiation of islet β cells.Since miRNAs showed tissue specificity,their expression changes were closely related to some diseases.Thus,integrative studies with miRNAs over the essence of syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine could provide new ideas for the treatment of diabetes.

Objective To study the effects of intra-bone marrow injection of donor bone marrow cells in combination with low dose radiation on the immunologic reaction of composite tissue allotransplantation.Methods The inbred SD rats were chosen as donors and inbred Wistar rats as recipients. Overall 40 recipients were classified into 4 groups randomly after allogeneic leg transplantation: group A received transplantation only; group B irradiation in the sublethal level (4.5 Gy?2 at a 4-h interval) and fludarabine (50 mg/kg, i.p.); group C, bone marrow cells were directly injected into the intra-bone marrow cavity of the recipients; group D, using a combination of the injection of fludarabine (50 mg/kg, i.p.), irradiation (4.5 Gy?2, at a 4-h interval) and injection of donor bone marrow cells. The rejection of grafts was observed. 120 days after induction of tolerance the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MIR) and skin grafting were examined to confirm tolerance status. To determine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), rats in tolerance status were also histologically examined. Results As compared with other groups, mean rejection time and mean survival time of limb allografts were prolonged obviously in group D. Donor-specific tolerance was confirmed in all limb allograft recipients in group D by skin grafting and by MLR, and no signs of GVHD were also histologically examined. Conclusion Using a combination of injection of fludarabine, irradiation in the sublethal level and donor bone marrow cells, we have induced donor-specific immunological tolerance in allogeneic limb transplantation in rats without using any immnosuppressants after the operation.
