Objective To introduce the advance of the diagnosis and tretment of breast cancer(BC). Methods Reveiwing the recently world reference regarding to the diagnosis and treatment of BC was done for making an advancing paper of BC. Results The NF ?B and telomerase may be a new target of anti cancer of breast. The ECT, fiberoptic mammaroductoscopy, examine of micrometastase of BC, immuno cell chemical examine were progressing in the diagnosis of BC. The advance of the treatiment of BC included breast conservative surgery, lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy, biochemical response modifier, new adjuvant chemotherapy, TAM and 1,25 (OH) 2D 3 treatmen. Conclusions The idea and mould of the diagnosis and treatment of BC have advanced obviously.

Sera from 80 patients suffering from gastritis and/or digestive ulcer were examined for IgG, IgA and IgM to Helicobacter pylori by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-H. pylori IgG and IgA in serum could be used for diagnosis of H. pylori infection, but the former had good sensitivity (92.0%) and the latter had a great specificity (94.4%). Serum anti-H, pylori IgM level was not associated with H. pylori infection. There were no remarkable relationship between H. pylori infection degree arid levels of anti-H, pylori IgG IgA. The positive percentage of anti-H, pylori IgG of health population deceased after 50 years old but the anti-H, pylori IgA increased.

Objectiver　 To establish murine breast precancerous model and evaluate the effect of exogenous estrogen and tamoxifen.　 Method　 50 female Wistar rats were divided into contol group (n＝12), the other 38 received low dose carcinogen (DMBA) by gastrogavage, and then divided into DMBA group (common diet,n＝8); DMBA+DES group(DES added chow,n＝15); and DMBA+TAM group (TAM added chow,n＝15). 3 months later, the status of breast hyperplasia, AgNOR and DNA content were measured. 　Results　 All indexs in control group and DMBA+TAM group were normal.However,in DMBA group and DMBA+DES group,the breast hyperplasia rate was 75%, 93.3%, AgNOR was 3.71±0.76, 5.60±0.42, DNA was 88.59±7.17, 137.75±3.13 respectively.Compared with control group and DMBA+TAM group, the differences of indexes in DMBA and in DMBA+DES group were significant (P<0.01). 　Conclusion　 Low dosage DMBA administered by gastrogavage established breast precancerous model. Exogenous estrogen promotes the development of breast precancerous disease induced by DMBA, while TAM suppresses the canceration.

AIM: To investigate whether focal adhesion kinase (FAK) takes part in the intracellular signaling pathway involved in apoptosis of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMCs). METHODS: Cultured HPASMCs stimulated by fibronection (40 mg/L) were passively transfected with antisense-FAK oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs). Expression of FAK and caspase-3 proteins was detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting. In addition, apoptosis were measured by TUNEL. RESULTS: The protein expression of FAK in HPASMCs decreased and caspase-3 expression upregulated in HPASMCs in antisense-FAK ODNs group. At the same time, antisense-FAK ODNs transfection increased the rate of cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that FAK may be related with the apoptosis of HPASMCs. Antisense-FAK ODNs inhibit HPASMC proliferation and may facilitate their apoptosis via caspase-3 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of glycine on the lung injury in acute necrotizing pancreatitis(ANP). Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham operation, ANP group,pretreated group and treatment group(with intravenous glycine 1g/kg). Serum TNF ? level,glutathione (GSH) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in pulmonary homogenate were determined at 6, 12, and 24h hours after ANP induced. Pulmonary pathology and 3 day survival rate were compared between the groups.Results Compared with ANP group,in glycine pretreated group serum TNF ? level significantly reduced at 6,12, and 24h,while in glycine treatment group serum TNF ? level decreased at 24-hour . In glycine pretreated group or treatment group, the pulmonary GSH content were decreased.In both glycine pretreated group and glycine treatment group, pulmonary MPO activity decreased at 12 and 24h,and pulmonary pathologic severity significantly ameliorated and survival rate increased. Conclusions Although glycine can not increase the GSH synthesis,but giving prophylactic or therapeutic glycine may be effective in improving acute lung injury in ANP, probably through the inhibition of the infiltration and activation of leukocytes.

Objective To study the effect of rising [Ca 2+ ]i on the expression of Caspase 3, Bax and Bcl 2 in human breast cancer MCF 7 cell lines. Methods After the MCF 7 cells treated with different dose of thapsigargin(TG), intracellular calcium concentrations in MCF 7 cells were measured by calcium sensitive fluorescence indicator Fura 2/AM technique; and immunohistochemical method was used to detected the expressions of Caspase 3, Bax and Bcl 2. Results Bax was over expressed and Bcl 2 was down expressed in a [Ca 2+ ]i concentration dependent way;nevertheless, the expression of Caspase 3 was negative in all the TG treated cells. Conclusions The increase of intracellular calcium concentration may have an inductive effect of apoptosis on MCF 7 cells, which is independent to Caspase 3.

Multiple chromosomal aberrations, nucleotide substitutions, and epigenetic modifications may occur in human cancer cells, which drive malignant transformation. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project aims to promote large-scale multi-dimensional analysis of these molecular characteristics in human cancer and rapidly provide data to researchers. In this study, we introduce four flow paths of the production of TCGA data, the collections of various cancer types, the data category and level, and the standardized pipeline of data analysis, as well as several existing data analytical tools. We used ovarian cancer as an example to introduce the application of the TCGA data in the analyses of mutation, copy number, analysis, and expression. We summarized the important findings of glioblasto-ma by TCGA teams.

Objective:To investigate the the effect of CD151 on Akt-Ser473 and human umbilical veine endothelial cell proliferation.Methods:To construct pAAV-CD151 and transiently transfect to HUVEC(human umbilical veine endothelical) mediated with Lipofectamine 2000.HUVEC were assigned to control group,GFP group,CD151 group.After transfection,the expression of CD151,Akt and phospho-Akt were measured by western blot.Proliferation of HUVEC were measured by MTT colorimetric assay.Results:①The expression of CD151,phospho-Akt of pAAV-CD151 transfected group were significantly increased compared with non-transfected group and pAAV-GFP transfected group(P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors of postoperative nosocomial infection in esophageal cancer patients,and to provide evidences for controlling nosocomial infection.METHODS The data of 466 cases with esophageal cancer,from Jan 2002 to Dec 2005,were studied retrospectively.RESULTS The nosocomial infection rate of patients with esophageal cancer was 21.03%.The main locations of infection were operation incision,lower respiratory tract and thorax.The nosocomial infection rate had increasing trend as lengthening the hospitalization duration.CONCLUSIONS The nosocomial infection with esophageal cancer is related to age,hospitalization duration and postoperative time.To take measures for infective factors,for example,intraoperative aseptic operation,postoperative drainage tube unblocked and rational use of antibiotics,is important to control and decrease the nosocomial infection.

Aim To study the effects of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC) on matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) expression in alveolar macrophages(AM) induced by TNF-?,and then to explore it's signal pathway.Methods AM were collected from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.AM were pretreated with PDTC and then stimulated by TNF-? or IL-1.MMP-9 mRNA expression was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and MMP-9 protein expression was detected by Western blot.Phospho-I?B? protein levels induced by TNF-? or IL-1 were detected by Western blot.NF-?B activity was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay.Results Both the mRNA and protein levels of MMP-9 induced by TNF-? in AM were significantly elevated in a dose dependent manner(P0.05).PDTC had distinct effect of inhibiting the activation of NF-?B induced by TNF-? or IL-1 in a dose-dependent manner(P0.05).Conclusions NF-?B plays an important role in MMP-9 expression induced by TNF-? in AM;PDTC can down-regulate MMP-9 expression induced by TNF? in AM possibly through preventing the degradation of I?B? via ubiquitylation-proteasome proteolytic pathway.
