Purpose To investigate the expression of protein kinase D1 (PKD1) in endometrial carcinoma and normal endometrium,and to investigate its relationship with the clinicopathological features of endometrial carcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemical SP and qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of PKD1 in 92 cases of endometrial cancer and 48 cases of normal endometrium,and to analyze the relationship of expression of PKD1 with the tumor differentiation and clinical stage of endometrial carcinoma tissue.Western blot method was used to detect the expression level of PKD1 protein in normal endometrial cell line and endometrial carcinorna cell lines with different degree of differentiation.Results mRNA and protein expression of PKD1 in endometrial carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than those in normal endometrial tissues (P ＜ 0.01),which showing a correlation to the degree of tissue differentiation and clinical pathologic staging.While,the expression level of PKD1 protein in endometrial cancer cell lines was also much higher than that in normal endometrial cells (P ＜ 0.01),and the lower differentiation,the higher level of PKD1 protein expression.Conclusion PKD1 is highly expressed in endometrial cancer patients.The level of PKD1 expression may be an important reference for predicting the malignant degree of endometrial cancer.

The lumbar intervertebral disc is a disc-shaped fibrocartilaginous structure located between the vertebral bodies and acts as an important anatomical structure in the spine for stability. The spinal stability system consists of three subsystems: passive subsystem, active subsystem, and neural control subsystem. Lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), the leading cause of low back pain, induces pathological changes in other tissues of the three subsystems and interacts to degrade spinal stability. IVDD is commonly accompanied by degeneration of facet joint and ligament, Modic change, decreased vertebral blood flow, increased paraspinal muscle fat infiltration, reduced axial tension injury of the nerve, et al. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred imaging modality for assessing spinal stability. Conventional MRI could completely demonstrate the morphological changes of the three subsystems in IVDD patients, and functional MRI could quantitatively evaluate the degree of pathophysiological change. We summarized the morphological and functional changes of MRI in lumbar intervertebral disc, facet joint, ligament, vertebral body, paraspinal muscle, and nerve of patients with IVDD, and then analysed the changes in spinal stability caused by IVDD, aiming to provide more imaging information for improving diagnosis accuracy and developing appropriate management of patients with low back pain.
