Objective To study the proctective effect of heme oxygeanse-1(HO-1) on cirrhotic rats after hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury.Methods All the rats were randomly divided into 5 groups as follows: normal group(N),liver cirrhosis group(LC),sham operation group(S), ischemia reperfusion group(I/R),and I/R+hemin group.Except for N group,the other groups were injected with 40% CCl4 twice a week.After 11 weeks,the model of liver cirrhosis was formed.The segmental(70%) hepatic ischemia reperfusion operation was carried out one week later.The animals were sacrificed 6h after reperfusion.Blood was collected to measure the liver function,antioxidative ability,NF-?B and caspase-3,and HO-1 expressions were studied by immunohistochemistry method. Results Administration of hemin to induce high HO-1 expression could lessen hepatic injury,increase MnSOD enzyme level,and decrease caspase-3 and NF-?B expresssion.Conclusion HO-1 plays an important role in protecting liver cirrhosis against ischemia reperfusion injury by increasing MnSOD enzyme level and decreasing expression of caspase-3 and NF-?B.

Objective To collect the families with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus(GEFS+) and analyze the clinical status and heredity features of Chinese GEFS+.Voltaged-gated sodium channel ?1 subunit(SCN1B) gene of 2 families were detected,and expect to find new mutation sites.Methods All participant in the study of 2 families members were informed of voluntary participate in this investigation,health examination and blood sampling.All 6 gene exons of proband,patients and healthy control group were sequenced.The sequencing result was compared and analyzed with the normal sequence of genomic exon fragment and exon fragment sequencing result of control group through internet(BLAST).Results 1.A new G/A heterozygous polymorphism (G181A)was found in the 181th basyl of SCN1B gene exon 3,and codon was changed from TCG to TCA,both encoding serine (Ser,S).It was synonymous mutation.2.A new G/A heterozygous polymophism(G15A)was found in the 15th basyl of SCN1B gene exon 3,and codon was changed from GAG to GAA,both encoding glutamic acid(Glu,E).It belonged to synonymous mutation.3.A new T/C heterozygous polymorphism (T37C)was found in the 37th basyl of SCN1B gene exon 6.The patients genetype were:5 cases with T/C heterozygote,3 cases with T/T homozygote,2 cases with C/C homozygote.Healthy control group were all T/T homozygote.Allele frequency distribution for T was 55.0%,and 45.0% for C.4.A new A/C heterozygous polymorphism (A81C)was found in the 81th basyl of SCN1B gene exon 6.The patients genetype were:5 cases with A/C heterozygote,3 cases with A/A homozygote,2 cases with C/C homozygote.Healthy control group were all A/A homozygote.Allele frequency distribution for A was 55.0%,and 45.0% for C.Conclusions Two new heterozygous polymorphism (G181A),(G15A) were found in SCN1B gene exon 3.Two new heterozygous polymorphism (T37C),(A81C) were found in SCN1B gene exon 6.These 4 polymorphism enriched single nucleotide polymorphism(SPN) database and provided candidate sites for the research of epilepsy susceptbility polymorphisms.

Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus(GEFS+) is a new epilepsy syndrome proposed by International League Against Epilepsy.At present,the progress of genetic studies of GEFS+ focus on gene mapping based on family analysis,many researches indicate that GEFS+ is associated with voltaged-gated sodium channel(SCN) gene mutation.This paper intends to discuss the relationship beween GEFS+ and SCN1B,SCN2B,SCN1A,SCN2A genes,mutations in order to improve the cognition about GEFS+.

Objective To investigate the spiral CT features of gastric carcinoma in the invasion and metastasis and its correlation with the expression of phosphatase and tensin horology deleted on chormosome ten(PTEN)and basic fibroblast grouth factor(bFGF).Methods Spiral CT plain scan and triphasic enhanced scans were performed in 83 patients.The postoperative specimens were embedded with paraffin to obtain 5?m thickness tissues and stained with HE and immunohistochemistry.Spiral CT findings were compared with the expression of phosphatase and tensin horology deleted on chormosome ten(PTEN)and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF).Results(1)The accuracy of spiral CT in T and N staging of gastric carcinoma was 94.0%(78/83)and 89.2%(74/83),respectively.(2)The expression of PTEN was 47.0%(39/83)in gastric carcinoma.The expression of PTEN in T_(3.4)(40.8%,29/71)and N_(1+2) (38.3%,23/60)gastric carcinoma was significantly lower than that of T_2(10/12)and N_0(16/23)gastric carcinoma,respectively(X~2=7.439,P=0.006;X~2=6.511,P=0.011).(3)The expression of bFGF was 63.9%(53/83)in gastric carcinoma.The expression of bFGF in T(3.4)(70.4%,50/71)and N_(1+2) (71.7%,43/60)gastric carcinoma was significantly higher than that of T_2(3/12)and N_0(10/23)gastric carcinoma,respectively(X~2=7.314,P=0.007;X~2=5.724,P=0.017).(4)Both PTEN-positive expression and bFGF-positive expression were detected in 16 specimens.The expression of PTEN(41.0%, 16/39)was negatively correlated with that of bFGF(30.2%,16/53)(r=-0.447,P=0.000). Conclusion Spiral CT triphasic enhanced scans combined with biologic characteristics can improve diagnostic accuracy of gastric carcinoma in the invasion,metastasis and prognosis.

Objective To observe the effects of high mechanical index ultrasound contrast on hepatic metastasis of colorectal cancer. Methods Hepatic metastasis models were established by injecting Lovo cells into the spleen of SD rats.This study was divided into control group, microbubble plus ultrasound radiation group simple contrast agent group and simple ultrasound radiation group.Ultrasound contrast agent SonoVue(1 ml/kg) was injected via tail vein, high mechanical index ultrasound contrast (frequency 1.5 MHz,MI 1.7) was performed intermittently for 2 min.After 10 d,the animals were killed and the size and number of hepatic metastasis were compared.Histological pathology and its ultrastructure were observed.Results There were no significant differences between contral group,simple ultrasound radiation group and simple contrast agent group in metastatic rate ( P＞0.05).There were no obvious differences between contral group, simple ultrasound radiation group and simple contrast agent group in cells'ultrastructure by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The number and size of hepatic metastasis decreased obviously in microbabble plus ultrasound radiation group ( P＜0.01 ), the mitochondrion was swelling and the gaps of endothelial cells were loose. Conclusions High mechanical index ultrasound contrast can inhibit the hepatic metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Objective To Study the effects of high mechanical index ultrasound radiation microbubble on colon cancer cell skeletal.Methods Lovo cell were cultured in vitro,and this study was divided into control group,simple contrast agent group,microbubble plus ultrasound radiation group and simple ultrasound radiation group.Ultrasound contrast agent SonoVue and ultransound (frequency 1.5 MHz and MI 1.7) were used.Results In the control group,the microtubes were densest in dyeing silk,and extended to the edge of a cell.In the ultrasound and microbubble group,the microtubes were weaker and thin,the.network was mainly in the structure of the long axis.The cells arranged in a slight pigmentation to the density cell,to reach out many fine short hair,there were obviously a sense of silk and directional.In the microbubble and ultrasound group,Lovo cells streamed of the central significantly reduced,fluorescent lighting,with short hair.There was no difference in the ultrasound group and the microbubble group with microfilament and microtubule.Conclusions High mechanical index ultrasound radiation can changed into vacant,a trace of the assembly and distributed to the tumor cells are attacking,the transfer of restraining.

Background and purpose:It was reported that chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand stromal cell-derived factor 1(SDF-1)were involved in the proliferation,differentiation,and metastasis of tumor.This study was designed to observe the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4 in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and study the relationship between the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4 and different clinicopathlogical characteristics,and further to explore the clinical significance.Methods:For the detection of the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4,43 primary hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues,27 normal hypopharyngeal tissues,34 lymph node metastastatic lesions and 9 normal lymph node lesions were detected by immunohistochemical method using rabbit anti-human CXCR4 polyclonal antibody.Results:The positive expression rates of CXCR4 in 43 hypopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and normal tissues were 95.3% and 22.2%,respectively(P
