Objective To systematically evaluate the relationship between p53 gene codon72 polymorphism and onset risk of prostate cancer (PCa) among Asian population by meta-analysis.Methods The databases of PubMed,Medline,Ovid,Wanfang and CNKI were retrieved for screening the case control trials on the relationship between p53 gene codon72 polymorphism and onset risk of PCa among Asian population.The obtained data were statistically analyzed by using the Stata 12.0 software,moreover the data reliability and publication bias of statistical literature were evaluated.Results The meta analysis showed that the p53 gene codon72 polymorphism had no obvious correlation with PCa onset risk in Asian population.The subgroup analysis results on the control source showed the coden72 polymorphism in P vs.A,PP vs.AA,PA+PP vs.AA models based on the hospital source subgroup could significantly decrease the Pca susceptibility among Asian population[P vs.A:OR =0.680,95 ％ CI(0.546,0.847),P=0.001;PP vs.AA:OR=0.409,95％CI(0.260,0.645),P=0.000;PA+PP vs.AA:OR=0.513,95％CI(0.350,0.749),P=0.001],whereas the codon 72 polymorphism in PA vs.AA and PA+PP vs.AA genotypes in the control source subgroup based on the common population increased the PCa onset risk among Asian population [PA vs.AA:OR=1.664,95 ％CI(1.272,2.177),P=0.000;PA+ PP vs.AA:OR =1.314,95 ％ CI(1.020,1.693),P =0.003 6].The subgroup analysis was conducted according to whether conforming to the HWE equilibrium,the results showed p53 gene codon 72 polymorphosm was a protective factor for decreasing PCasusceptibility among Asian population in the subgroup unconforming to the HWE equilibrium [PP vs.AA:OR=0.251,95％CI(0.135,0.467),P=0.000;PA+PPvs.AA:OR=0.564,95％CI=(0.330,0.964),P=0.036].Conclusion p53 gene codon72 polymorphism has no relation with PCa susceptibility among Asian population.

Objective To study the effect of heart function and histopathology after coronary vein bypass grafting.Methods 16 pigs were divided into experimental group and control group.Following 16 pig models of chronic myocardial isehemia of left ventri- cle were established,the left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-great cardiac vein (GCV) anastomasis in 8 pigs were completed 4 week later.After GCV occlusion at proximal,retrograde coronary venous perfusion was afforded.At 8 week,coronary angiography,echo- cardiography and myocardial radioisotope scanning were performed.After harvesting these hearts,histopathologic examination and electron microscope were undertaken.Results All anastomotic vessels of experimental pigs were smooth.LVEF in experimental group was significant higher than that in control group (P

This study was aimed to identify and distinguish Metacordyceps liangshanensis recorded by the Sichuan Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Standard from its adulterants and its relative species by combining ITS and COI barcode sequences in order to study the feasibility of this new method. After extracting DNA of 28 species of Cordyceps samples, DNA were amplified and sequenced. And then, ITS and COI sequences were received. Codon-Code Aligner V3.7.1 and Mega 5.0 were used to analyze the variable site and construct the N-J tree. The results showed that the minimum ITS inter-specific K-2P distance was relatively higher than the maximum intra-specific K-2P distance. The inter-specific sequence divergence between M. liangshanensis and its adulterants exhibited high while intra-specific sequence divergence exhibited low. And COI one was the same case. N-J tree of both ITS and COI indicated that same genus belonged together and each species belonged to relatively independent branch. It was concluded that based on the ITS and COI gene, the technology of DNA barcode can be an excellent identification of M. liangshanensis, its adulterants and its relative species. It provided technical support for the further research on species molecular identification and phylogenetics of Cordyceps .

Objective To analyse the negative predictive value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)for detecting pancreatic cancer and to evaluate its clinical value of ruling out malignant cancer. Methods The medical records of patients who were referred to pancreatic EUS with suspected pancreatic cancer and normal EUS findings from January 2005 to December 2013 were reviewed. Moreover,the follow-up data were reviewed to evaluate whether the patient developed pancreatic cancer or other malignancy that could cause the abnormality mentioned above. The follow-up data were obtained by examining the inpatient/outpatient records as well as conducting brief telephone interviews. Results A total of 122 patients were in-cluded in our study. The follow-up data of 108 were accessible,and the mean follow-up period was 52. 4 months. One patient was histopathologically diagnosed as having pancreatic cancer 6 years after the proce-dure,and 107 other patients with a normal pancreatic EUS were free of pancreatic cancer as well as other malignancy during the follow-up period. The negative predictive value of pancreatic EUS was 99. 1%(107/108). Conclusion For patients with suspected pancreatic cancer but normal EUS findings,there is no need for further exploratory surgery. However,if there is a high suspicion of malignancy in the pancreas,a repeat-ed EUS is necessary in case of a false negative EUS result.

Objective To investigate the effect of silencing E6-associated protein(E6AP)on the level of p53 protein in human papilloma virus(HPV)negative cervical cancer cells(C33A cells).Methods The siRNA sequence silencing E6AP(siE6AP)and silencing control disordered siRNA sequence(siControl)were transfected into C33A cells with the mediation of LipofectamineTM2000 transfection reagent respectively.The silencing effect of siRNA on E6AP and the expression of p53and cleaved-caspase-3 proteins were detected by Western blot.Results The levels of E6AP protein in C33A cells of siE6AP group were significantly lower(t =-4.597,P<0.05),while the levels of p53 and cleaved-caspase-3 proteins were significantly higher than those of siControl group(t = 4.533 and 7.099 respectively,each P<0.05).Conclusion Silencing of E6AP significantly increased the expression of p53 protein in C33A cells,indicating that silencing of E6AP may restore the activity and function of p53 protein in C33A cells.

Objective: To investigate the antihypertensive time-effect and dose-effect features of Sancao jiangya decoction(SCD).Methods: The blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats at different time points were measured after treatment with Sancao jiangya decoction of low,middle,high concentration by tailartery blood pressure measurement for conscious rats.Results: The blood pressure was decreased at 2 hours after drug taken,there were significant dose-effect relationship between the antihypertensive effect and the low,middle,high dose.At 4h after drug taken,the high,middle dose had dose-effect correlation,but the low-dose had no antihypertensive effect.Further research on the middledose shows that the blood pressure reduced at 1h after drug taken,and the stable antihypertensive effect was keeping during 1-4h,the blood pressure began to rise at 6h,and got back to the level before drug taken at 8h.Conclusion: To choose the Middle-dose(10.4g crude drug/kg body weight) and 2h after drug taken is appropriate for SCD's use.This result laid a substantial foundation for further research on effects evaluation and mechanism of antihypertensive medicine.

Objective To establish a network laboratory for blood cell analysis and better calibrate haematology analyzers in local lab.Methods According to GB/T 15481《General requirements for the competence testing and calibration laboratories》(idt ISO/IEC 17025),we established a network laboratory providing traceability for blood cell analysis.Complete blood count was traced to Calibration Laboratory in NCCL;The secondary standard haematology analyzer with the same model and calibrator with same lot number were used for verification for a long period.Fresh blood from healthy people was used to calibrate haematology analyzers.Results Gradually we have improved our laboratory quality management system, precision as well as accuracy,which was satisfactory.The unified blood sample was adopted to calibrate different equipments in our hospital and showed consistence when compared with calibration analyzer.The correlation coefficient of all tests is more than 0.99.The relative deviation of WBC,RBC,HCT,HGB and PLT are within?7%,?3.5%,?4%,?3% and?15%,respectively.Conclusions Secondary standard systems provides good comparable results with calibration laboratory.Its tracing mode and quality control scheme could ensure the traceability and accuracy of completed blood count.Furthermore,using elective fresh blood from healthy people,the comparable results from different analyzers were achievable.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of human serum albumin (HSA) on cell attachment of human gingival epithelial cells (HGE).

METHODSHGE were primary cultured with keratinocyte serum-free medium (KSFM) and dispase. The cultured cells were immunohistochemically stained by monoclonal anti-pan cytokeratin. MTT test was employed to investigate the influence of HSA on the cell attachment on polystyrene surface. The cell growth curve of HGE which were cultured in KSFM with 50 g/L HSA was observed.

RESULTSThe results showed significant decrease in cell numbers within 8 hours after HGE were inoculated, in which the polystyrene surface was preincubated with 50 g/L HSA. But it did not prove to be the case from 10 hours to 24 hours after HGE were inoculated. There were no significant difference within 24 hours in cell numbers between cultured in KSFM with 50 g/L HSA and control. The cell numbers in cell growth curve of HGE in KSFM with and without 50 g/L HSA did not show significant difference.

CONCLUSIONSHSA preincubation on polystyrene were produce inhibitory effect of HGE attachment in early stage.
