Objective Wnt signal is very important to control the gastrointestinal mucosal proliferation, but its role in the gastric mucosal proliferation after acidified ethanol injury is not clear yet,neither is the relationship with cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). Methods X-gal staining was used to measure the expression of Wnt signaling; Western blot and RT-PCR were used to measure the expression of TCF4 and P-Catenin in the gastric mucosa before and after acidified ethanol injury. We also used TOP/flash plasmid to further indentify the relationship between COX-2 and Wnt signal pathway. Results After acidified ethanol injury, the expression of LacZ signal, β-Catenin and TCF4 increased only in the wild type mouse. The expression of β-Catenin and TCF4 protein increased about (3.52 ±0.52) times and (3.02 ±0.62) times separately, and the expression of β-Catenin and TCF4 mRNA increased about (19. 85 ±3.63) times and (17.82 ±4.82) times separately. Without ethanol injury, the expression of TOP/flash plasmid was inhibited by COX-2 inhibitor (NS398) about 80% and promoted by prostaglandin E2(PGE2) about 50%.After 1% ethanol injury, the expression of plasmid was inhibited by NS398 about 25% ; on the contrary,PGE2 promoted the expression about 10%. Conclusion Wnt signal in gastric mucosa is activated after acidified ethanol injury. COX-2 may work through modulating Wnt signal to control the proliferation of gastric mucosa.

Objective To elucidate the mechanism of angiotensin (Ang) Ⅱ in regulation of renin synthesis and secretion in primary cultured juxtaglomerular granular cells (JGCs). Methods Mice JGCs were isolated and cultured as described before. Real-time PCR was used to demonstrate the expression of angiotensin converting enzyme (CE) and angiotencin receptor (AT1, AT2) in JGCs. Ang Ⅱ was co-cultured with JGCs stimulated by PGE2 and isoproternol or not. Renin activity in supernatant was detected by radioimmunoassay and renin mRNA expression was examined by real-time PCR. Different concentrations of Ang Ⅱ were co-cultured with JGCs with different time (1 h, 4 h and 24 h), cAMP in cell lysate and supernatant was measured by Cayman Cyclic AMP EIA Kit. The cytoplasmic calcium was decreased by BAPTA-AM, and increased by thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid, which could be used to observe the cAMP concentration affected by calcium. Adenylyl cyclase type 5, 6 (AC5, AC6) mRNA expression of JGCs co-cultured with Ang Ⅱ was measured by real-time PCR. Results Real-time PCR confirmed the expression of ACE and AT mRNA in JGCs of WT mice. Angiotensin Ⅱ reduced renin secretion in primary cultures of JGCs [(370.6±36.9) vs (299.6±25.7) ng AngI'ml~(-1)·h~(-1), P=0.014]. Angiotensin Ⅱ dose-dependently down-regulated forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in JGCs. Thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid decreased cAMP level. BAPTA-AM increased cAMP production obviously [(11.09±0.48) vs (3.55±0.47) nmol/L, P<0.01]. Ang Ⅱ inhibited AC5 mRNA expression by 42.12%, but did not inhibit AC6 mRNA expression. Conclusions Angiotensin Ⅱ can directly inhibit renin synthesis and secrestion maybe through reducing AC-stimulated cAMP levels. Crosstalk between calcium and cAMP system may exist in precise regulation of renin in JGCs.

Objective To perform the cytogenetic diagnosis on single lymphocyte of DMD patient with dystrophin gene exon 50 deletion.Methods Single lymphocytes of a DMD patient with dystrophin gene exon 50 deletion and normal volunteers were picked out and prepared for two-time duplex PCR.Results The rate of precise positive was 92%,91% and 93% in specimens of the patient(SRY positive,exon 50 negative),the male volunteer(SRY positive,exon 50 positive)and the female volunteer(SRY negative,exon 50 positive),respectively.Conclusion Two-time duplex PCR is fit for the genetic diagnosis of single lymphocyte from DMD patient with dystrophin gene exon 50 deletion.

Teaching diagnosis is also called analysis of the scene of teaching. By using multimedia teaching in the classroom,teaching monitoring system for remote video,the use of the basic method of Chinese medicine in the diagnosis of the disease"look,smell,ask and feel" to watch video playback,we let the students purposefully observe teachers’ teaching,conduct the "Self-or experts",feeling the pulse diagnosis,and find the inadequate teaching and make recommendations for improvement so as to ultimately enhance the quality of classroom teaching purposes.

Education should include two parts:teaching and learning.Therefore,during the course of medical ehtics teaching,if we want to get better teaching effect,besides the factor of teachers,we must make the students get interest in the studying of medical ethics and arouse the students' initiative and enthusiasm of studying.This thesis would discuss that in the following respects:enhancing the students'initiative and enthusiasm of studying;teacher's deep love for education enterprise and for students;person of exemplary virtue,example is better than precept;performing elicitation teaching method of developing the student's initiative and strictly avoiding cramming method of teaching

Tissue microarray is a special biologic microarray, which was invented on the base of cDNA microarray. The principle of the tissue microarray is arraying the tissue on the solid carrier according demand, then hybridizing, marking and dyeing, for researching the special expression of aimed gene or production among the different tissue. The application of tissue microarray is abroad, especially the determinant of tumor predisposing factor, the screening of the special gene and antibody, the earlier diagnosis, the therapy, and the judgment of prognosis. Compared with the traditional pathological investigation, tissue microarray has the behavior of small volume, high throughput (information), and design by different demand. Tissue microarray has important practical significance and broad market prospect in the investigation of the relation between the gene and disease (tumor), the verification of the associated gene of the disease, the development and screening of new drug, the molecular diagnosis of disease, the dynamic observation during therapy, and the judgment of prognosis.
