Acta Anatomica Sinica 1954;0(02):-
Twenty-two samples from tissues of carcinoma of the stomach and twenty samples from tissues of the stomach of the patients of duodenal ulcer were utilized for this study. In the later, specimens were taken from the large curvature and pylorus. The tissue of carcinoma of the stomach were obtained from the cancer focus, the cancer margins, the mucosa that was far from carcinoma focus and pylorus sinus. Frozen sections were cut. The ?-glucuronidase was demonstrated with Fischman's histochemical method with modifications.In carcinoma tissue of stomach, there are sufficient ?-gluearonidase (?-GU). ?-GU are mainly distributed in cancer cells. Some of ?-GU are distributed in the interstitial tissue of cancer. In every cancer cell, their activity of ?-GU have an obvious differentiation. Liberation procedure of ?-GU in the well-developed cancer cells have a constant direction, that is same as the pylorus glands, but it is not so in the lower developed cancer cells. Overlapping on the mucosa of carcinoma of the stomach there is a layer of membrane-like substance that shows a stronger activity of ?-GU. The activity of ?-GU in the mucosa of center of cancer focus is the lowest, whereas there is an obvious increase in the mucosa of cancer margin as well as tissue far away from the cancer focus.In the stomach of patients of the duodenal ulcer, the pylorus rnucosa contains a sufficient amount of ?-GU, which is mainly distributed in pylorus glands and cellular elements of lamina propria, so that the enzyme activity appears lower in the mucosa of stomach and shows a zonal distribution.In this paper the pathological and physiological signification of ?-GU in th tissue of stomach carcinoma has been discussed.

Acta Anatomica Sinica 1954;0(02):-
Twenty-eight adult male rats were used for this study. The experimentar were injected intramuscular with 25 mg/d cortisone acetate and were killed in various intervals separately. The neurohypophysis were fixed in mixed solution of 4% paraformaldehyde and 2% glutaraldehyde in buffered cacodylate. Frozens ections were incubated in the medium of sodium glycero-phosphate and lead nitrate, postfixed in caulfield solution, dehydrated, embedded, ultrathin sectioned, stained With uranium acetate without lead citrate, and observed under EM, In the neurohypophysis of control animals, the active areas of acid phosphatase were few and were limited in lysosome and Golgi apparatus of pituicytes and endothelia of capillaries. After injection of cortisone, the lysosome of pituicytes were increased and the activity of acid phosphatase were strengthened. Besides pituicytes and endothelia cells, there were so many positive thin granules in the processes of dark pituicytes, some areas of positive reaction of AcP appeared in neurosecretion fibers. After increasing the drug dosage, positive reaction of AcP areas showed a tendency of expansion. In this study, we discussed the effect of cortisone on the AcP of neurohypophysis and the functional significance of pituicytes in neurosecretion procedure.

Objective To explore the effect of fibroblast growth factor receptor(FGFR)inhibitor BGJ398 on the vasculogenic mimicry(VM)formation of glioma cells. Methods The phosphor-FGFR(pFGFR)was de-tected by Western blot,the expressions of MMP2 and MMP14 were detected by Western blot and immunocytochem-istry;the VM formation of U87MG and U251MG was tested by tube formation assay;subcutaneously implanted tu-mor model in nude mouse was established and tumor sections were CD34/PAS double-stained to detect the forma-tion of VM in vivo. Results Western blot showed that pFGFR in the experimental groups decreased significantly (P < 0.05);western blot and immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of MMP2 and MMP14 in the experimental groups decreased significantly compared to the control group. In the tube formation assay ,the tube formation of U87MG and U251MG cells were restrained. In the subcutaneously implanted tumor model ,the VM number of the experimental group(13.85 ± 3.96)was significantly lower than that in the control group(26.40 ± 5.06,P < 0.05). Conclusions In vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that BGJ398 can inhibit the activa-tion of FGFR,and inhibit the VM formation of glioma cells. These indicate FGFR signaling pathway is involved in the formation of VM.

The inhibitory effect of wortmannin on leukemic cells and the possible mechanisms were examined. K562 cells were treated with wortmannin of various concentrations (3.125-100 nmol/L) for 0-72 h. MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of wortmannin on the growth of K562 cells. Cell apoptosis was detected by both Annexin-V FITC/PI double-labeled cytometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The expression of p-Akt, T-p-Akt, NF-kappaBp65 and IKK-kappaB was determined by Western blotting and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Our results showed that wortmannin obviously inhibited growth and induced apoptosis of K562 cells in vitro in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The IC(50) value of wortmannin for 24 h was 25+/-0.14 nmol/L. Moreover, wortmannin induced K562 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. TEM revealed typical morphological changes of apoptosis in wortmannin-treated K562 cells, such as chromatin condensation, karyopyknosis, karyorhexis and apoptotic bodies. Additionally, several important intracellular protein kinases such as p-Akt, NF-kappaBp65 and IKK-kappaB experienced degradation of various degrees in a dose-dependent manner both at protein level and transcription level when cultured with wortmannin, but the expression of total Akt showed no change. It is concluded that wortmannin can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of K562 leukemia cells possibly by down-regulating the survival signaling pathways (PI3K/Akt and NF-kappaB channels).

Twenty-fine samples of stomach and 25 samples of adenocarcinoma stomach were employed for this study. The former have been collected from the patients of duodenal ulcer. Specimens were taken from the large curvature and pylorus. In the adenocarcinoma of stomach, materials were taken from the cancer focus and the cancer margins, fixed in 10% formalin-GaCl_2 Solution, embedded in paraffin and cut at 5? in thickness. Then they were examined with defferent reactions of histochemistry; PAS, Alcian blue (AB), Toludine blue (TB) and Barnett's method. The surface of gastric mucosa obtained from patients of duodenal ulcer after subtotalgastrectomy was covered with a substance which consists of neutral and acid mucopolysaccharide and protein. The epithelial cells of the mucosa contains large amount of neutral muco-polysaccharide. The cells of the neck of gastric gland contain quite a bit of acid muco-polysaccharide, but the cells of the deep segments of the glands do not show any of it. The cells of adenocarcinoma of stomach contain a different deal material mixture which consists of acid muco-polusaccharide and protein. The surface of the cavity in the well-differenlialed cancer glands was covered by a positive substance in TB, AB method, which forms a thin layer of membrance. An evenly distributed substance in the cavity of carcinoma gland was shown with positive reactions of PAS, AB, TB and protein. The degenerated cells show a positive reactions of PAS and protein. The cells of low-differentiated cancer were surrounded with a superficial layer of the acid mucopolysaccharide. The interstitia in the invaded margines often showed clear, distinct positive PAS and TB reactions. It indicates that it cortains more chondroitin sulfuric acid and the hyaline acid. In the superficial layers of mucosa of the cancer tissue, the epithelial cellswere often to have less positive substance than that of the membrane in the parts of cancer margine, it means a lesser amount of neutral-polysaccharide. But the acid muco-polysaccharide in the surface of cancer and its metaplastic margin clearly increases in amount than the metaplastic area far away from the cancer focus. This report discussed the significance of the increased muco-polysaccharide in the tissue of the gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND: Dopamine is closely associated with occurrence of epilepsy and transmission in central nerval system, and its various functions are determined by specific receptors.OBJECTIVE: To establish temporal epilepsy model so as to probe into the influences of SCH23390, the antagonist of dopamine D1 receptors and haloperidol, the antagonist of dopamine D2 receptors injected in substantia nigra on temporal epileptic seizure induced by kainic acid and on electroencephalic activityDESIGN: Randomized controlled verified experiment.SETTING: Neurology Medicine Institute of Zhujiang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in General Military Neurology Medicine Institute of Zhujiang Hospital Affiliated to First Military University of Chinese PLA from August to December 2004, in which, 30SD adult male rats were employed, massed varied from 250 to 300 g.METHODS: ① 30 rats were randomized into physiological saline (control) group (6 rats), kainic acid (KA) group (6 rats) and experimental group (18 rats). The experimental group was divided into 3 subgroups, named the antagonist of dopamine D1 receptors, SCH23390 + kainic acid group (D1 +KA group), the antagonist of dopamine D2 receptors,haloperidol + kainic acid group (D2+KA group) and physiological saline + kainic acid group (PS + KA group), 6 rats in each. In the control, physi ological saline 2 μL was injected in the right cerebral ventricle unilaterally. In KA group, kainic acid 2 μL was injected in the right ventricle. In each of experimental group, SCH23390, the antagonist of dopamine D1 re ceptors, haloperidol, the antagonist of dopamine D2 receptors and physio logical saline 1 μL for each was injected in substantia nigra on the right side successively and simultaneously, kainic acid 2 μL was injected in the right ventricle. ② Observed items: alters of EEG on the 0.5th 1st, 2nd, 6th and 24th hours after medication in each experimental group (compared with EEG of non-epileptic behavior, appearance of sharp wave, spike wave,sharp (spike) slow comprehensive wave and multi-spike slow wave determines epileptic activity) and changes in animal behaviors (0 grade: normal; Ⅰ grade: wet dog-like trembling, paroxysmal facial spasm, like winking,beard moving, rhythmic chawing; Ⅱ grade: rhythmic nodding; Ⅲ grade:paroxysmal spasm of anterior limbs; Ⅳ grade: paroxysmal spasm of bilateral anterior limbs when standing; Ⅴ grade: falling down, loss of balance and convulsion of four limbs). Cerebral hippocampal neural cell apoptosis was observed and the rats were sacrificed on the 5' day of medication. Cerebral hippocampal section was prepared and determined after in situ end labeling staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEAUSRES: ① Changes in behavior in rats before and after epilepsy and electroencephalogram (EEG) alters. ② Results of cerebra hippocampal neural cell apoptosis.RESULTS: Thirty rats entered result analysis. ① Epilepsy seizure: In the control group, there was no epilepsy attacked. In KA group, all of rats ap pear seizure, which attacked 10 minutes after KA injected in brain ventricle, reached the peak in 1 hour and stopped in 3 to 6 hours. ② EEG record: In the control group, there was not epileptic activity manifestations,like sharp wave, spike wave, spike slow comprehensive wave, etc. In KA group, epileptic wave presented in 10 minutes after injection, the seizure developed to the peak in about 1 hour, the wave amplitude was decreased in 3 to 6 hours, presenting paroxysmal slow and spike slow waves and no epileptic wave appeared after 12 hours. ③ Neuronal apoptosis: In the control group, few neural cell apoptosis was visible in hippocampus after injection.In KA group, neural cell apoptosis was visible obviously in hippocampus in 5 days after injection (P =0.00). With SCH23390, the antagonist of dopamine D1 receptors, hippocampal cell apoptosis was not reduced remarkably (P >0.05) and with haloperidol, the antagonist of dopamine D2 receptors injected in substantia nigra, hippocampal cell apoptosis was aggravated (P =0.00).CONCLUSION: Injection of SCH23390, the antagonist of dopamine D1 receptors in substantia nigra cannot block kainic acid inducing epilepsy and epileptic electroencephalic activity is not weakened remarkably. Injection of haloperidol,the antagonist of dopamine D2 receptors enhances epileptic electroencephalic activity in kainic acid induced epilepsy and increases cell apoptosis remarkably in cerebral hippocampal CA3 area.It is to explain that it is dopamine D2 acceptor that is involved in regulation of temporal epilepsy in substantia nigra rather than D1 acceptor.
