Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification(RT-LAMP)is a novel nucleic acid amplification technique which has been mainly used in a variety of viruses and other pathogens of gene detection.Compared with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),the RT-LAMP has advantages of reaction simplicity,rapidly,cost-effective,detection sensitivity and specificity.Nowadays,RT-LAMP technology is gradually used in various medical fields,but it is still a new method especially in cancer diagnosis of tumor gene.The article reviews the application of the RT-LAMP technology in the cancer

Researches indicate that gastric carcinoma occurs where gastric stem cells settle down.Stem cells may play an important role in formative process of gastric carcinoma. Researches on relationship between stem cells and gastric stem cells, tumor stem cells and stomach neoplasms, bone marrow stem cells and stomach neoplasms indicate that gastric carcinoma may be a kind of stem cell diseases.

Useful pharmacodynamic changes occur when some Chinese medicine are used together with some Western medicine, namely enhanced curative effect, lowered adverse reactions, reduced dosages, shortened treatment courses, enlarged indications scope, improved compliance of treatment and rational medication, which could be explored to provide scientific bases for further improving diagnosis and treatment levels and rational use of drugs.

Chemotherapy resistance is a great obstacle for effective treatment of ovarian cancer.Drug resistance of ovarian cancer is the results of combined action of multi- factors.Further study of drug resistancerelated genes can provide new ideas for reversing drug resistance fundamentally.

Objective To evaluate the value of MR in the diagnosis of glomus jugulare tumors.Methods 15 cases (8 in the right and 7 in the left-side) of glomus jugulare tumors were retrospectively analysed, with the emphasis on the locations, MR signal intensities andthe invading appearances to the surrounding structures of tumors. Results The tumors demonstrated as oval or irregular shape. Thesurrounding bones around the jugular fossa were destroyed in 12 masses. The signal intensity of the tumors was heterogeneous and with marked “salt and pepper”appearance in 12 masses(12/15) on plain MR imaging. The masses(13/13)were all markedly enhanced after the injection of Gd-DTPA, in which 10 of them presented with “salt and pepper”appearance. MR angiography was performed in 9 cases, theinternal carotid artery and the internal jugular vein were all displaced and/or encompassed.Conclusion Glomus jugulare tumor can becorrectly diagnosed according to the combination of MR imaging features with the typical localization,“salt and pepper” appearance and bone erosion in the skull base.

Objective To observe the dynamic expression and location of TGF-β1 and TGF-β receptor Ⅰ ,Ⅱ at different time in an experimental model of rat molars reversible pulpitis, to evaluate the role of TGF-β1 and TGFβ receptor Ⅰ , Ⅱ on pulp injury and repair. Methods The reversible pulpitis animal model was established by drilling the enamel without water cooling and then acid etching dentine. The maxillary and teeth of each animal were made 5μm thick serial slides. The slides were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and SABC immunehistochemical technique and then studied under the light microscope and under image analysis, all the data were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test. Results Positive staining of TGF-β1 and TβR Ⅰ ,TβR Ⅱ was found in odontoblasts, pulp fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells. In pulpitis stage,the expressions of TGF-β1 and TGF-β receptor Ⅰ , Ⅱ were increased markedly, and showed dynamic changes at different time;TGF-β1 show a peak at 5d and followed by decreased significantly. TGF-β receptor Ⅰ ,Ⅱshowed the highest at 3d ,and then decreased slightly. From 0d to 3 d,TGF-β1 and TGF-β receptorⅠ,Ⅱ showed uptrends, but their uptrends had no direct proportion relationship. Conclusion The results presented here suggested that TGF-β1 and TGF-β receptorⅠ,Ⅱ might play an important role in pulp wound and repair. The inflammatory reaction in response to TGF-β1 was mediated by TGF-β receptorⅠ, Ⅱ; Although TGF-β1 showed a possible function for the TGF-β receptor,but a direct proportion relationship couldn't be concluded.

Objective: To explore the reliability and validity of Ruminative Responses Scale in Chinese version. Methods: A total of 912 Chinese college students completed the RRS. Results: All the indexes of confirmatory analysis including ?2、RMSEA、GFI、AGFI、NNFI、CFI、IFI met the requirements of psychological assessment. The ? coefficients of the scale and subscales and test -retest reliabilities were over 0.63. There was gender difference in rumination level. Conclusion: RRS is appropriate for the assessment of rumination in Chinese colleges.

Objective To investigate the expressions of SOCS3 and IL‐6 in triple‐negative breast cancer(TNBC)and their clinical significance.Methods The expressions of SOCS3 and IL‐6 in TNBC and normal breast cells were detected by Western blot and fluorescence quantitative PCR.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect their expressions in 84 TNBCs ,33 breast fibromas and 11 normal breast tissues. The correlation of their expressions in TNBC and the relationship between their expressions and clinical pathological parameters were analyzed as well.Results SOCS3 was not expressed or down‐expressed in TNBC cell lines while IL‐6 was over‐expressed. The positive rate of SOCS3 protein was 32.1% in TNBCs ,63.6% in breast fi‐bromas(P<0.01)and 72.7% in normal breast tissues (P< 0.01);and that of IL‐6 protein was 72.6% in TNBCs ,30.3% in breast fibromas(P< 0.01)and 27.3% in normal breast tissues (P< 0.01).Moreover ,a significant negative correlation was found between the expression of SOCS3 and that of IL‐6 in TNBC(rs = -0.590 ,P<0.01). The expressions of SOCS3 and IL‐6 were markedly associated with tumor size ,lymph node metastasis ,clinical stages and expressions of Ki‐67 and p53(P<0.05) , but not with age ,histological grades or menopausal status(P>0.05).Conclusion The expressions of SOCS3 and IL‐6 are asso‐ciated with the development of TNBC ,suggesting that SOCS3 and IL‐6 can serve as biological markers for evaluating the prog‐nosis ,and therapeutic targets of T NBC.
