Objective To isolate and identificate a specific new gene highly related to human bladder cancer and to investigate the carcinogenesis mechanism and genetic susceptibility. Methods Normal bladder epithelia and cancer tissue collected from 8 cases of primary bladder transitional cell carcinoma were studied using the high performance?sensitive technique of mRNA differential display.The differential fragments were found by comparing with genetic expression. 6 of them were reamplificated?cloned?sequenced,and performed the autoploidy index in the public database of genbank. Results (1)37 differential fragments have been isolated.36 of which are expressed or highly expressed in cancer tissues,but not so or lowly expressed in normal tissues;while it has been expressed in 1 normal tissue but not in the cancer tissue.(2)Results of indexing:1 is homologous to TBX3 (T box gene),autoploidy 99%.1 is homologous to cl.Ca4 gene (member 4 of Calcium activated chloride channel gene family), autoploidy 99%.1 is homologous to Cu,Zn SOD gene (Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase),99%.The remaining fragments are not homologous to unknown sequences in the public database of genbank,assigned as YHHQ1,XHL,LHX. Conclusions (1)It is verified at genetic level the relation between the conment's increasing of Cu,Zn SOD in bladder cancer derived tissue and the occurrence,advance of bladder cancer.(2)The relation between TBX3,cl.Ca4 gene and human carcinoma has been observed.(3)YHHQ1 may be the new candidate of anti oncogene related to bladder cancer.XHL and LHX may be the new candidates of oncogene related to bladder cancer.

DPP-4 inhibitors are new oral hypoglycemic drugs and hot spots developed and launched in recent years, and they pro-vide new choices for the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes. In China, DPP-4 inhibitors that are approved to use in the treatment of type 2 diabetes are all imported products currently. In the paper, the current intellectual property situation of DPP-4 inhibitors that are developed and approved at home and abroad is researched and analyzed. Reasonable use of the patent information of DPP-4 inhibitors that is about to expire or have failed can provide good guidance for the subsequent development of DPP-4 inhibitors in domestic with promising curative effect and good market prospects, and can generate new patents in order to enhance the market competitiveness.

Objective To study and compare the protective effects of pmtease inhibitor and corticosteroid on endotoxin-indueed acute lung injury in order to guide the choice of appropriate drugs. Method Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided(random number) into four groups with 8 rabbits in each, namely normal controls(C) ; lipopolysaecharide(LPS) group(L) ; ulinastatin(UTI) group(U) and dexamcthasone(DEX) group (D) .Except group C, all rabbits were injected with a dose of LPS 600 μg/kg iv. Meanwhile the rabbits in group U,group D received UTI(100 000 μ/kg), DEX(5 mg/kg), respectively. The specimens were collected 4 hours later for detecting the levels of TNF-α and NO in serum, and blood gas analysis, histological manifestations, the lung wet/dry weight ratio, lung tissue MPO and SOD activity, lung tissue MDA. Data were analyzed by ANOVA (SNK- q test), and P < 0.05 was considered as significantly different. Results Compared with group C, the lungs of the rabbits in group L had inflammatory granulocyte infdtration, diffused alveolar septum thickening and hemorrhagic spots were observed in pathological examinations. The histological changes of group U and group D were much lessened than those in group L. As groups U and D were compared with group L, there were significant differences inmany biomarkers including lung wet/dry weight ratio[(5.02±0.11),(4.93±0.13) vs.(5.37 ±0.29)],lung tissue MPO activity[(0.51 ± 0.05),(0.54±0.07) vs.(0.82 ± 0.09)] and MDA[(0.82 ±0.05),(0.81 ±0.04) vs.(0.96±0.05)], NO[(296.2± 11.7),(291.7 ± 15.8) vs.(351.8±19.6)] and TNF-α[group D(2.021 ± 0.122) vs. group L(4.999 ± 0.139)],lung tissue SOD activity[(120.3 ± 6.1),(122.6±3.5) vs.(105.1 ± 8.5)] and blood gas analysis[pH(7.30±0.23),(7.30±0.17) vs.(7.22±0.45) and PaO_2( 101.9 ± 6.8).( 102.5 ± 4.7) vs.(80.3 ± 3.3)] ; but there were no differences of above mentioned biomarkers between group U and D( P > 0.05). And there were no significant differences in PaCO_2 betweeu group U and D and group L[(37.0 ± 3.3),(37.6 ± 3.0) vs.(34.8 ± 2.3)]( P > 0.05). Conclusions The protective effects of ulinastatin on endotoxin-induced acute lung injury is comparable to those of dexamethasone, thus the former may be a clinical substitute for the latter with less side effects.

Objective: To investigate the interference effect of lipofectamine-mediated short hairpin RNA (shRNA) on the expression of PIM-1 gene in prostate cancer cell lines. Methods: Three kinds of recombinant plasmid expression vectors (pP[M]- hRNA-1,-2,-3) were constructed, which can produce shRNA targeting different sequence of PIM-1 mRNA. The recombinant plasmid vectors were transfected into PC-3 cell lines, respectively. RT-PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the expression of PIM-1 mRNA and protein after transfection. Results: The expression of mRNA and protein of PIM-1 in PC-3 were inhibited significantly at 48h post-transfection. Furthermore, pPLM1- hRNA-2 and pPIM1- hRNA-3 resulted in a stronger silencing effect than that of pPIM- hRNA-1. Conclusion: The recombinant plasmid expression vector which carrying PIM-1 shRNA may remarkably inhibit the expression of PIM-1 mRNA and protein in PC-3 cell lines. The experiment provided the basis for further investigation of the role of PIM-1.

Objective To evaluate the contribution of puboprostatic ligament-sparing technique in urinary continence after radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). Methods A total of 74 men with clinically localized prostate cancer underwent RRP. Of whom, 50 patients were performed pubo-prostatic ligament-sparing technique(group A), while 24 patients were not(group B). Patients were evaluated by independent observer questionnaire to determine their urinary continence status. Results Mean patient age [(61.3±2.4) vs (60.8±2.1)years], serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values [14.3±1.2)ng/ml vs (14.7±1.3) ng/ml], operative time [(110.5±10.4)min vs (109.7±10.6) mini, estimated blood loss [(250.5±23.4) ml vs (253.4±22.3) ml], and positive surgical margin rate (6% vs 8%) were not significantly different between group A and B(P>0.05). The urinary con-tinence rate with the puboprostatic ligament-sparing technique at 1-year follow-up was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Concision The puboprostatic ligament-sparing technique significantly enhances post-operative urinary continence after RRP.

Objective To study the stability of micro-implant orthodontic anchorage(MA)with different pitch in the case of immediate loading.Method Employing 3D finite element analysis method,the stress and dis-placement distribution on the bone interface of MIA with different pitch(0.3 mm、0.5 mm、0.7 mm and 1.0 mm,respectively),which was 1.47 N loaded vertically in the major axis direction,were analyzed.Result The pitch affected the stress distribution significantly,because the maximum stress increased with the pitch decreasing and the impact of pitch on stress distribution on neck and central locations of MIA were different;to decrease the pitch could reduce the max displacement of the jaw,but the impact of pitch on displacement distribution of MIA was not significant.Condusions In the case of immediate loading.MIA with pitch 0.5 mm-0.7 mm is suggested to be selected as orthodontic anchorage in the clinic.
