Purpose To study the expression of livin and caspase-3 protein in pancreatic carcinoma and their correlation with clinicopathologic features and survivial time.Methods High-throughput tissue microarray technique and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of livin and caspase-3 protein in 88 pancreatic carcinoma specimens without a history of chemo-radiation therapy and 11 non tumorous pancreatic tissues,and the relationship of these subjects was analyzed with Spearman rank correlation. Among these 88 cases, 54 cases were followed-up for 2 months to 6 years, whom were used for the prognosis analysis.Results In the 88 cases, the positive rate of livin was 76.1% (67/88); however, the positive expression of caspase-3 was 90.9%(10/11) in non-tumorous pancreatic tissue, which was much higher than that in the cancer (40.9%,36/88), with statistically significant differences(P<0.01). There were significant relationships of livin protein expression with sex, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05); the expression of caspase-3 protein expression was significantly related to sex, histological grade, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). Spearman rank correlation showed a significant correlation between livin and caspase-3 protein (P<0.01). In 54 cases with followed-up data, univariant analysis revealed that both of livin protein expression and lymph node metastasis were related to the survival rate (P<0.05), but caspase-3 protein expression, sex, age, tumor location, size, histological grade and TNM stage were unrelated to prognosis (P>0.05). Furthermore,COX stepwise proportional hazards analysis showed that only livin status retained independent significance in prospecting prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma.Conclusions The expression of livin is associated with clinicopathologic features and prognosis in pancreatic carcinoma. High expression of livin protein indicates poor prognosis, which could become an independent index for the evaluation of prognosis.caspase-3 protein may be involved in the regulation of apoptosis and the progression of pancreatic carcinoma.

GDP-mannose-3', 5' -epimerase (GME), which converts GDP-mannose into GDP-L-galactose, is essential for the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid in higher plants. The molecular characterization of two GME genes from rice has been reported. Firstly,both cDNAs were isolated from the rice mature leaves using RT-PCR technique. By comparing their sequences with homologues from other plants, it was found that GME genes were highly conserved among plant species, though phylogenetic study showed that all known GMEs could be divided into two distinct groups corresponding to monocots and dicots. Secondly, the genomic organization of rice OsGME genes was investigated, and a similarity of splice patterns was revealed. Finally, the expression patterns of the two cDNAs have been studied in various tissues and under different stress conditions by semiquantitative RT-PCR assay. The results showed that the OsGME1 transcript was up-regulated in response to cold stress, and gibberellin might regulate L-ascorbic acid levels by affecting transcription of both OsGME genes.

Objective: To determine the mechanism of protective effects of lidocaine on brain during ischemia. Method: Wistar rats within 24h after birth were enrolled. The brain cortex cells were separated and then cutured under normal or anoxic condition. The OD value of these cells were detected with rapid colorimetric assay after they were cultured 24h and 48h. According to the above values, other cells were cultured in different condition and divided intc three groups: control group(N) cultured under normal condition (37℃, 5%CO_2+95%air); anoxic group(A) and anoxic+ lidoeaine group(L) cultured under anoxic condition(37℃, 5%CO_2+95%N_2). 6.9?10~(-5)mol/L lidocaine was added to the medium in group L. Cells of these three groups were cultured under different condition for 48h, then malondiadehyde and lactate levels of each group were measured. Result: The survival cells of anoxic group were significantly lower than that of control group after cultured for 48h, the malondiadehyde levels were as follows (nmol/ml): group N(4.93 ?0.43, n=12), group A(5.56?0.34, n=12), group L(4. 80?0.25, n=11); the lactate levels (mmol/L): group N(8.05?1.64, n=21), group A (11.86?2.58, n=22), group L(9.96?1.88, n=21), Conclusion: Lidocaine may protect brain from ischemia through inhibiting malondiadehyde and lactate production induced by anoxia.

Aim To investigate the effects of breviscapine(Bre)on Na+,K+-ATPase activity of proximal tubule(PT) and its renal protection in early diabetic rats. Methods The rats were divided into three groups: diabetic model (DM group), Bre treatment (Bre group) and normal control (NC group). Rats were administrated with Bre(20 mg?kg-1?d-1, ip) in Bre group, with normal saline(ip) in DM and NC groups for four weeks after diabetes induction with streptozotocin (STZ 65 mg?kg-1, ip) in Bre and DM groups. The urine and blood samples were collected from two intra-ureteral cannulas and the heart, respectively, under anesthesia four weeks after diabetes induction. After one of the renal arteries being perfused, the renal cortex was incubated and PT segments were microdissected freehand under microscope before the Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the segments were assessed by liquid scintillation counter. The blood glucose, levels of creatinine in serum and in urine were assayed. The microalbumin , ?2-microglobulin(?2-MG) of urine and endogenous digitalis-like substance (EDLS) of serum were measured respectively by radioimmunoassay. Results The PT Na+,K+-ATPase activity in NC group was(959.11?117.35) pmolPi?mm-1?h-1, and that in DM group was significant higher for (1893.53?383.90) pmolPi?mm-1?h-1 than it(P
