Methods:Using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reacti on(RT-PCR),CK19 and CK20mRNA expression was examined in peripheral blood fro m 250 patients with early cervical carcinoma before operation,50 Patients with benign gynecological tumors and 18 healthy volunteers. In 250 patients,possible correlations between clinical pathological factors were analyzed. Results:The positive expression rates of CK19 and CK20mRNA were 36% and 24% in 250 cervical carcinomas respectively,in comparison with 3.0% an d 0% with benign gynecological tumors and all subjects in healthy volunteers wer e negative; The expression of CK19 and CK20 mRNA were significantly correlated w ith lymph vascular space involvement,but was not associated with prognostic fac tors including stage,differentiation,pathological types ,lymph node metastasis ,bully tumor size . In patients with CK19 mRNA(+)/CK20 mRNA(+),the rate of lymp h node metastasis and vascular space involvement and recurrence outside the pelv is was significantly higher than that of patients with CK1R mNA9(-)/CK20 mRNA(- )(P

Background and purpose:To evaluate the treatment regimens used for patients with yolk sac tumors of the ovary and prognostic factors in our hospital. Methods:Clinical data for the patients with yolk sac tumors of the ovary were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into four groups: patients in A group received nonsparing surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy; in B group received nonsparing surgery and non-platinum-based chemotherapy; in C group received fertility-sparing surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy; in D group received fertility-sparing surgery and non-platinum-based chemotherapy. 5-year survival rate and prognostic factors were analyzed.Results:The overall 5- year survival rate was 69.2 %. The 5- years survival rates were 81.8 %, 40.0 %, 82.6% and 50.0% for A, B, C and D group, respectively. Platinum-based chemotherapy achieved significant survival benefit (82.4% vs. 44.4%, P0.05). Clinical stage, the size of residual tumor and Platinum-based chemotherapy were the mainly prognostic factors in multianalysis.Conclusions:Fertility-sparing surgery with a postoperative plainum-based chemotherapy should be the ideal modality for the treatment of yolk sac tumors of the ovary. Staging and tumor-reductive surgery were most associated with the prognosis of the patients.

To investigate the relationship between intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and calcium-activated chloride (Clca) channels of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) in rats under acute and chronic hypoxic conditions, acute hypoxia-induced contraction was observed in rat pulmonary artery by using routine blood vascular perfusion in vitro. The fluorescence Ca2+ indicator Fura-2/AM was used to observe [Ca2+]i of rat PASMCs under normal and chronic hypoxic condition. The effect of Clca channels on PASMCs proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. The Clca channel blockers niflumic acid (NFA) and indaryloxyacetic acid (IAA-94) exerted inhibitory effects on acute hypoxia-evoked contractions in the pulmonary artery. Under chronic hypoxic condition, [Ca2+]i was increased. Under normoxic condition, [Ca2+]i was (123.63 +/- 18.98) nmol/L, and in hypoxic condition, [Ca2+]i was (281.75 +/- 16.48) nmol/L (P<0.01). Under normoxic condition, [Ca2+]i showed no significant change and no effect on Clca channels was observed (P> 0.05). Chronic hypoxia increased [Ca2+]i which opened Clca channels. The NFA and IAA-94 blocked the channels and decreased [Ca2+]i from (281.75 +/- 16.48) nmol/L to (117.66 +/- 15.36) nmol/L (P<0.01). MTT assay showed that under chronic hypoxic condition NFA and IAA-94 decreased the value of absorbency (A value) from 0.459 +/- 0.058 to 0.224 +/- 0.025 (P<0.01). Hypoxia increased [Ca2+]i which opened Clca channels and had a positive-feedback in [Ca2+]i. This may play an important role in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Under chronic hypoxic condition, Clca channel may play a part in the regulation of proliferation of PASMCs.

Background and purpose:Uterine body invasion of carcinoma of the uterine cervix is not in the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)staging system.Some reports suggested that uterine body invasion of carcinoma of the uterine cervix was an important prognostic factor.The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of the uterine cervix carcinoma with uterine body invasion.Methods:The clinicopathologic records of 406 patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix of stage Ⅰb~Ⅱa who underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were retrospectively analyzed,the number of uterine body invasion was 69 in all cases.On the contrary,the negative number was 337.We studied the general condition(age of onset)and tumor conditions,including clinical stage,tumor diameter,pathological type,pathology differentiated degree,positive pelvic lymph nodes,deep stromal invasion,and lymph vascular space involvement.Results:In univariate survival analysis,the incidence of stage Ⅱa,non-squamous cell cancer(non-SqCC),tumor size≥4 cm,deep stromal invasion and positive pelvic lymph nodes were signifi cantly higher in carcinoma of the uterine cervix with uterine body invasion than those in control group(P

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of transcription factor Foxp 3 on the proliferation and cell cycle of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A 549.Methods:We knocked down the expression of Foxp 3 using siRNA.Foxp3 inhibition was detected by RT-PCR.Cell proliferation was detected by MTT.Cell cycle of A549 cells were detected by flow cytometry after the transfection of siRNA.Cell cycle-related checkpoint genes were filtered by RT-PCR.The regulation of Foxp3 on cell cycle-related checkpoint genes were detected by immunofluorescence and dual -luciferase reporter assay system.Results: The proliferation of A549 cells were inhibited after silencing Foxp3,and A549 cells were arrested in G0/G1 cycle.G1/S cycle checkpoint gene CCND1 was down regulated.Mechanism research show that Foxp 3 can regulate the expression of CCND 1 directly.Conclusion: Foxp3 can promote the proliferation of A549 cell line by up regulating G 1/S cycle checkpoint gene CCND 1.This provides a new target for the therapeutic targets of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To assess the prevalence of c-Kit and FLT3 gene mutations in core binding factor related acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) and analyze the karyotype characteristics of the CBF-AML patients. Methods Mutations of c-Kit, FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD were detected by genomic DNA PCR and sequencing, and the karyotype changes were analyzed in 48 newly diagnosed CBF-AML patients. Results c-Kit aberrations were detected in 13(27.1 %) out of 48 patients, including 5 cases with exon 8 mutation and 8 cases with exon 17 mutation. c-Kit was more prominent in t(8;21) AML patients than in inv(16) AML patients [(33.3 %(9/27) vs 19.0 %(4/21), P<0.05]. Only 1 case (2.1 %) had FLT3-ITD mutation (FLT3-ITD+) and 3 cases (6.3 %) had FLT3-TKD mutation (FLT3-TKD +). Prevalence of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 with additional chromosome abnormality was as high as 25.9 %(7/27), in which sex chromosome elimination was the most common one, while prevalence of CBFβ-MYH11 with additional chromosome abnormality was low. Conclusion c-Kit gene mutations and RUNX1-RUNX1T1 additional chromosome abnormalities are common in patients with CBF-AML and would be helpful for individualized treatment studies.
