Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2003;0(06):-
Objective:To study the expression of cytokeratin (CK) 20 in the peripheral blood of patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and to evaluate its clinical significance.Methods:CK20 mRNA in 63 patients with TCCB,19 non-cancerous patients and 19 healthy volunteers was detected respectively.GAPDH was used as a general marker for normal blood cells.CK20 and GAPDH were amplified by using RT-PCR.Results:Nineteen healthy volunteers and 19 non-cancerous patients showed no CK20 signals in peripheral blood.Sixteen of 63(25.4%) patients with TCCB showed positive CK20 signals in peripheral blood,including 0/31 of stage T 1, 2/16 of stage T 2, 7/9 of stage T 3,7/7 of stage T 4.The CK20 expression difference between T 1/T 2 group and T 3-4 groups was significant.Two patients with positive CK20 signals in peripheral blood had distant metastases during a 6-month follow-up period.Conclusion:CK20 is applicable to detect cancer cells in the peripheral blood of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and may play an important role in the evaluation of the prognosis and postoperative management of TCCB.

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of reboxetine and citalopram in treating retardant depression.Methods A total of 59 patients with retardant depression were randomly divided into reboxetine group(n=29)and citalopram group(n=30)for the treatment of 6 weeks.The patients were assessed with the Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)and treatment emergent symptom scale(TESS).Results At the end of 6 weeks,the total scores of HAMD in reboxetine(18.48±6.38)group and citalopram(11.60±4.46)group both significantly decreased(P<0.001).Between two groups,the efficacy(82.8% and 56.7%)had significant differences(P<0.05)but side effects had no statistical significance.Conclusion Reboxetine has significant curative efficacy,milder adverse effects and higher safety for treating patients with retardant depression.

Objective:To investigate the eye movement anormalities of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and their possible clinical significances. Methods: Exploratory eye movement in 57 patients with OCD according to DSM-IV criteria (27 medicated, 30 un-medicated) and 50 normal controls matched with sex, age and education were examined respectively. Results: Compared with normal controls, patients with OCD demonstrated low scores in most of the indices of exploratory eye movement. The rates of positive discrimiant score in OCD and normal controls were 37%(21/57) and 8% (4/50), respectively (X2 = 12.27, P

Objective: To examine the correlation of symptomatic feature and exploratory eye movements in schizophrenia. Methods: The eye movements of 60 patients with schizophrenia and 30 healthy control subjects were measured by the eye-mark recorder (model IV, Japan) and symptom profiles of patients were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) . Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between five-factor scores of PANSS, positive symptoms, negative symptoms and exploratory eye movements respectively. Results: The differences of all indices of eye movements between schizophrenic groups and normal control group had statistical significance ( P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anti-tumor effect of bufalin and its regulation on Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in orthotopically transplanted tumor of human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice. METHODS: Orthotopically transplanted tumor of human hepatocellular carcinoma was established in nude mice. The mice were randomly divided into five groups: high-dose bufalin-treated group (1.5 mg/kg), medium-dose bufalin-treated group (1 mg/kg), low-dose bufalin-treated group (0.5 mg/kg), adriamycin-treated group (8.0 mg/kg), and normal saline-treated group. After 25 days, mice were sacrificed. The tumor volume was measured, and the pathological changes of tumor tissues were detected by HE staining to observe the tumor necrosis degree. Cell morphological changes were also observed by an electron microscopy. Label index of tumor cell apoptosis was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), and the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were determined by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: The tumor volume in the bufalin-treated groups was shrunk significantly compared with that in the normal saline-treated group (P<0.01). The survival time of the bufalin-treated groups was prolonged compared with that of the adriamycin-treated group and the normal saline-treated group P<0.05. Apoptotic characteristics could be seen in tumor tissues of the bufalin-treated groups. The label index of tumor cell apoptosis in the bufalin-treated groups (5.87+/-2.13, 8.86+/-2.96 and 10.60+/-3.42 in low-, medium- and high-dose groups respectively) was higher than that in the adriamycin-treated group (3.28+/-0.98) (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of Bax was up-regulated, while no changes were detected as to Bcl-2 protein in tumors of the bufalin-treated groups. CONCLUSION: Bufalin has significant anti-tumor effect on the orthotopically transplanted tumor of human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice. Its effect might be related to up-regulation of Bax protein and inducement of the tumor cell apoptosis.
