Background and purpose:RASSF10 acts as a kind of tumor suppressor in various tumor tissues, but researches in cardiac adenocarcinoma has not been reported. This study aimed to detect the methylation status and expression ofRas-association domain family 10 (RASSF10) in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA), and explore its role in occurrence and development of GCA.Methods:Methylation speciifc polymerase chain reaction (MSP), reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry method were respectively used to detect methylation status, mRNA expression and protein expression ofRASSF10 in 81 GCA tissues and corresponding normal tissues.Results:The promoter methylation frequency ofRASSF10 in GCA tissues (64.20%, 52/81) was signiifcantly higher than that in corresponding normal tissues (20.99%, 17/81,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages, differential degree and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). RASSF10 mRNA expression in GCA tissues (0.57±0.05) was significantly lower than that in corresponding normal tissues (0.78±0.02,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Protein expression of RASSF10 in GCA tissues (31.10%, 26/81) was signiifcantly lower than that in corresponding normal tissues (71.60%, 58/81,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages, differential degree and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The promoter methylation frequency ofRASSF10 in GCA tissues was inversely related to its protein expression.Conclusion:Inactivation of RASSF10 caused by aberrantmethylation in the promoter region may be closely correlated with the GCA tumorgenesis.

Objective To investigate the aberrant methylation and expression of growth arrest and DNA-damage-in-ducible 45 gamma (GADD45G) gene in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA). Methods Bisulfite conversion-methylation specific polymerase chain reaction method (BS-MSP) and immunohistochemistry method were used respectively to detect the methylation status and protein expression of GADD45G in 138 GCA tumor tissues and corresponding normal tissues. Re-sults The methylation status of GADD45G distal promoter (region 1) was not detected in GCA tumor tissues and corre-sponding normal tissues. For GADD45G region 2 and region 3, the BS-MSP results of region 3 were identical to that of re-gion 2. The methylation frequency of proximal promoter and exon 1 in GADD45G island 2 (region 2 and region 3) in GCA tu-mor tissues (49.3%, 68/138) was significantly increased compared to that in corresponding normal tissues (0, P<0.01). The methylation status of this two sites in tumor tissues was associated with TNM stage of tumors (P<0.05). The protein expres-sion of GADD45G in tumor tissues was significantly decreased than that in corresponding normal tissues (P < 0.05),and threre was a significant negative correlation with methylation status of GADD45G proximal promoter and exon 1 (rs=-0.398). Conclusion The decreased expression of GADD45G by hypermethylation of proximal promoter exon 1 of the gene may play an important role in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the clinic value of procalcitonin( PCT)and c-reactive protein ( CRP)in differential diagnosis for febrile diseases. Methods One hundred and forty patients with febrile diseases in May 2009 to February 2014 in the No. 309th Hospital of People Liberation Army were investigated and analyzed retrospectively. Based on discharge diagnosis,patients were divided into bacterial infection group( n=58),non-bacterial infection group(n=47)and rheumatic diseases group(n=35),another 40 healthy people were served as the control group. Serum PCT and CRP were detected and compared in four groups. One month after backing to normal temperature in all the patients,detected serum PCT and CRP again. Results Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group,non-bacterial infection group,rheumatic diseases group and control group were(5. 18 ± 1. 92)and(0. 45 ± 0. 22),(0. 34 ± 0. 13)and(0. 16 ± 0. 05)μg/L,(25. 31 ± 4. 24), (1. 94 ± 0. 37 ),( 62. 32 ± 15. 10 ) and( 1. 30 ± 0. 04 ) mg/L respectively. Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group were significantly higher than that in control group(P﹤0. 01). Even though serum PCT and CRP level in non-bacterial group slightly higher than that of healthy control group,there was no statistical difference(P﹥0. 05). Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group were significantly higher than that of non-bacterial infection group( P ﹤0. 01 ). Serum CRP level in rheumatic diseases group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group( P﹤0. 01),while PCT level only slightly higher compared with healthy control group(P﹥0. 05). One month after backing to normal temperature in all the patients,serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group reduced significantly compared with that of febrile period( P ﹤0. 01). Serum PCT and CRP level in non-bacterial infection group were no significant change( P﹥0. 05 ),and serum CRP level in rheumatic diseases group reduced significantly( P﹤0. 01 ),while serum PCT were no significant change(P﹥0. 05). Conclusion Serum PCT combined with CRP might be of great importance in the differential diagnosis for febrile diseases.

Objectives:To examine the effect of chloride blocker (NPPB and tamoxifen)on volume sensitive chloride channels in mouse cardiac ventricular myocytes. Methods:Isolated mouse cardiac ventricular myocytes were subjected to whole cell patch clamp to record the hypotonicity activated chloride currents. Results:When the myocytes were exposed to hypotonic solution, an obvious whole cell currents were activated. The currents were inhibited by extracellular NPPB reversibly and significantly. The specific blocker for volume sensitive chloride channel , tamoxifen (50 ?mol/L), could apparently block the activity of this channel in a voltage dependent manner. Conclusions:Mouse cardiac ventricular myocytes process volume sensitive chloride channel which is sensitive to NPPB and tamoxifen.

Objective To investigate the promoter methylation status of SFRP1 and SFRP2 gene in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA). Methods Methylation specific PCR (MSP) method was used to examine the methylation status of the 5' CpG island of SFRP1 and SFRP2 gene in tumors and corresponding normal tissues. Results Methylation frequencies of SFRP1 and SFRP2 gene in tumor specimens were 87.2 % (82/94) and 83 %(78/94), which was significantly higher than that in corresponding normal tissues (14.9 % and 55.3 %, respectively) (P <0.001). Methylation frequencies of SFRP1 in lymph node metastasis group (96.4 %) was significantly higher than that in no lymph node metastasis group (73.7 %). Methylation frequencies of SFRP1 and SFRP2 gene in poor differentiation group were all higher than that in moderate and poor-moderate differentiation groups, but both of them did not show significant difference(P >0.05). 63 cases of GCA showed both of SFRP1 and SFRP2 gene simultaneous methylation, which including 36 cases of lymph node metastasis group, 27 cases of no lymph node metastasis group. Simultaneous methylation frequencies of SFRP1 and SFRP2 gene in lymph node metastasis group was higher than that in no lymph node metastasis group, poor differentiation group was higher than that in moderate and poor-moderate differentiation groups, but both of them did not show significant difference (P >0.05). Conclusion Promoter methylation of SFRP1 and SFRP2 might be related with oncogenesis of GCA and hypermethylation of SFRP1 gene might be related with the malignant behavior of GCA.
