It has been indicated that the oncogene and anti-oncogene are closely related to the development and progression of cancer.With the development of molecular biology,detection of oncogene and anti-oncogene has become an important approach for clinical warning and diagnosing of cancer.Since the establishment of the molecular model of colon cancer by Fearon and Vogelstein in 1990,the genetics of colorectal cancer has gained major advances in early diagnosis.Early detection of related gene mutations is helpful for the early warning of colorectal cancer,especially for palients with hereditary cancer(the detection rate is fairly high).This review summarizes the progression of study on biomarkers of colorectal cancer.

Objective To study the effects of Tan Ⅱ A on the expression of c-Met and HIF-lα in gastric cancer SGC7901 cells under hypoxia and the correlation between c-Met and HIF-lα expression. Methods The model of hypoxia was established by CoCl2. There were three groups; normal control group, hypoxia control group, and hypoxia combined with different concentrations of Tan ⅡA group. After Tan ⅡA was added to the media with 0.5, 2.0 and 10.0 mg/L respectively for 48 h under hypoxia, the expression of HIF-1α and c-Met protein was detected by immunocytochemical staining. Results Immunocytochemical staining revealed that the expression of HIF-1α and c-Met protein was inhibited by Tan ⅡA in a dose-dependent manner under hypoxia. High positive correlation was found between the expression of HIF-1α and c-Met (n = 4, r = 0. 996, P <0.01). Conclusion Tan ⅡA might inhibit the expression of c-Met protein via down-regulation of HIFlα protein expression under hypoxia, suggesting that Tan ⅡA might play an important role in fighting against hypoxia-stimulated invasion and metastasis of tumor.

OBJECTIVE:To scientifically establish the variety scope of expensive drugs and to reduce the stock level to a maximum degree under the premise of supply security. METHODS: The variety scope of expensive drugs was established by modified ABC (activity-based costing) analytical method,and the management on expensive drugs was carried out by fixed-quantity system (FQS) together with fixed-interval system (FIS). RESULTS: The practice of the optimized management effectively reduced the stock quantity of expensive drugs,increased the amount of money of 75 stocked drugs to 2.473 7 million yuan from 3.935 7 million yuan;the turnover rate rose from 238.36% to 461.86%,and the turnover days were decreased from 13.03 days to 8.29 days. CONCLUSION: Computer management in combination with the modified ABC analytical method together with FQS and FIS management led to an effective and accurate inventory management of expensive drugs,which then resulted in a speedy turnover rate,decreased fund occupying and lowered drug cost.

Objective To investigate the value of detecting HEART score and HEARTS3 score in risk stratification and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with non-ST segment elevation chest pain in emergency department (ED).Methods Clinical data of case-control retrospective study of 775 patients with non-ST segment elevation chest pain in ED were collected from July 2011 to March 2015.The patients were estimated and risk stratification was made with HEART score and HEARTS3 score.After follow-up visiting by telephone for 30 days,outcomes were found to be ACS and myocardial infarction (MI).And the patients were categorized with score into low,intermediate and high risk groups.The correlation between the ACS and risk score in three groups was analyzed.Comparison of capability of performance in predicting 30-day ACS between the HEART score and HEARTS3 risk score.Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS13.0.Enumeration variables were expressed as percentage.For comparison of predictive value of the two sets of scores,area under the receiver operating curve (auROC) was calculated and compared by Z test.Results There were 92 cases with 30-day ACS.The rate of ACS had a trend of increase with increase in HEART score and HEARTS3 score.The patients with higher scores of HEART and HEARTS3,higher incidence of ACS in 30 days.Especially,the high-risk patients with score≥7 of HEART score and≥8 of HEARTS3 score had higher rate of ACS.And there was significant difference in predicting high-risk patients between two sets of scoring (P < 0.05).The HEARTS3 score outperformed the HEART score as determined by comparison of areas under the ROC curve for MI (0.952 vs 0.813;P =0.028),30-day ACS (0.913 vs.0.815;P =0.034).Conclusions HEART score and HEARTS3 score both can be used to evaluate and perform risk stratification for non-ST segment elevation chest pain patients in ED.But HEARTS3 score can more precisely stratify high-risk patients with chest pain for 30-day ACS.

In order to reveal genetic diversity of domestic Andrographis paniculata and its impact on quality, genetic backgrounds of 103 samples from 7 provinces in China were analyzed using SRAP marker and SNP marker. Genetic structures of the A. paniculata populations were estimated with Powermarker V 3.25 and Mega 6.0 software, and polymorphic SNPs were identified with CodonCode Aligner software. The results showed that the genetic distances of domestic A. paniculata germplasm ranged from 0. 01 to 0.09, and no polymorphic SNPs were discovered in coding sequence fragments of ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase. A. paniculata germplasm from various regions in China had poor genetic diversity. This phenomenon was closely related to strict self-fertilization and earlier introduction from the same origin. Therefore, genetic background had little impact on variable qualities of A. paniculata in domestic market. Mutation breeding, polyploid breeding and molecular breeding were proposed as promising strategies in germplasm innovation.

Objective To study the antigenicity of human thyrotropin receptor(hTSHR)amino terminus (amino acid 29~280)and its association with Graves' disease.Methods Total thyroid RNA was prepared from human normal thyroid tissue.RNA was then reversely transcripted and cDNA was subjected to PCR amplification.PCR product was cloned into pcDNA3.1 and the recombinant plasmid was named pcDNA3.1/hTSHR188~940bp. Balb/c mice were immunized with peDNA3.1/hTSHR188~940bp. The levels of serum thyroxin,anti-TSHR antibody(TRAb)and thyroid stimulating antibody(TSAb)were measured,and the pathological changes of thyroid tissue were also observed.Results A 753 bp fragment encoding hTSHR ectodomain amino end was obtained after PCR amplification.Confirmed by Hind Ⅲ restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing,pcDNA3.1/hTSHR188~940bphad been constructed successfully,with the correct sequence and direction of hTSHR188~940bp.In the Balb/c mice treated with pcDNA3.1/hTSHR188~940bp,elevated TRAb in week 6(0.148±0.018)were observed compared with those at week o(0.106±0.006,P<0.01),and kept a higher level till week 10(0.134±0.011,P<0.01).T4 and TSAb index values were significantly increased in week 10.Serum T4 concentration increased from(41.02±7.97)μg/L in week 0 to(62.20±12.77)μg/L in week 10(P<0.01);TSAb index values rose from 0.864±0.076 at week 0 to 1.392±0.615(P<0.01).Thyroid pathological examination showed that proliferated thyroid follicular epithelial cells and foll icular eapacity increased.Inflammatory cells were occasionally found.Conclusions There are antigen epitopes in hTSHR ectodomain amino acid 29~280,which can stimulate the production of TSAb.And the latter induces hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease like manifestations.It suggests that hTSHR ectodomain amino acid 29~280 is closely associated with Graves' disease,and maybe one of important etiological factors leading to the disease.
