Objective To assess the effect of polygonum peffoliatum L on the expression of Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) in hepatic fibrosis rats induced by Dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) . Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into six groups, after the model of HF rat induced by DMN and intervened by different concentrations of Polygonum perfoliatum L. Conventional flaking of liver and HE were used to observed histopathological change. Immunohistochemstry was used to detect HIF-1αand VEGF in hepatic tissues of hepatic fibrosis rats. Results The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in hepatic fibrosis rats of the high dose of Polygonum perfoliatum L from (-) to (3 +) were one , nine, one, zero and one, eight, two, zero, respectively. The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in hepatic fibrosis rats of the middle dose of Polygonum perfoliatum L from (-) to (3 +)were one , seven, two, zero and one, six, three, zero, respectively. Compared with the model group, the high and middle dose of Polygonum perfoliatum L can reduce the expression of HIF-1 oand VEGF in hepatic fibrosis rats (P < 0. 01). Conclusions Polygonum peffoliatum L has a good curative effect of anti hepatic fibrosis. Its therapeutic mechanism mainly maybe due to adjust the metabolism of extracellular matrix by decreasing HIF-1 αand VEGF expression.

Objective:To detect genomic aberrations and investigate the expression and clinical significance of TBX2,CHK2, and p53 in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) tissues. Methods:We collected 63 cases of MPNST tissue samples, which were re-moved by resection and were confirmed by pathology, from January 1991 to December 2011 in Department of Bone and Sofer Tissue Tumor, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. Twelve fresh tumor samples with qualified DNA quality were selected from the above 63 cases of tissue samples. Genome abnormalities of 12 MPNST tissues were detected by next-generation sequencing. The protein expression levels of TBX2, CHK2, and p53 in 63 MPNST tissue samples were assessed by immunohistochemistry staining. Results:One case of TBX2 gene mutation was observed out of the 12 MPNST tissue samples. In 63 MPNST tissue samples, the protein expression rates of TBX2, CHK2, and p53 were 60.3%(38/63), 47.6%(30/63), and 30.2%(19/63), respectively. TBX2 expression was sig-nificantly correlated with AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer, AJCC) stage, recurrence, and metastasis (P<0.05). TBX2 expres-sion was directly correlated with that of CHK2 (r=0.254, P=0.045), and CHK2 expression was directly correlated with that of p53 (r=0.343, P=0.006). In terms of the disease-free survival and overall survival time, patients with high expression levels of TBX2, CHK2, and p53 had significantly worse prognosis than patients with low expression levels of TBX2, CHK2, and p53(all P<0.05). TBX2, CHK2, and p53 were independent prognostic factors of MPNST. Conclusion:TBX2 and its associated proteins may play important roles in MPNST development and progression. Detecting TBX2 expression may provide the theoretical basis for estimating the prognosis of patients with MPNST.
