Objective To study the expressions of PTEN,p73 oncoproteins and their chinicopathological significances in gastric cancer tissues.Method Immunohistochemical method of avidin-biotin complex was used to the routinely paraffin-embedded sections.Results The positive rates of PTEN,p73 in 57 cases with gastric cancer were 51% and 37% ,respectively.The positive rate of PTEN was higher in adenocarcinoma(63%) than that in mucoadenocarcinoma(43%) or signet ring cell carcinoma(38%) and that p73 was lower in adenocarcinoma(26%) than that in mucoadenocarcinoma(57%) or signetring cell carcinoma(44%).The positive rates of PTEN were significantly higher in the cases of histological grade Ⅰ and without Iymphnode metastasis than those in the cases of histological graed Ⅲ and with Iymphnode metastasis,but those of p73 were opposite.The negative correlation was found between the expression of PTEN and p73.Conclusions The expressions of PTEN,p73 mihgt be related to the clinicopathological characteristics and biological behaviors of gastric cancer,they might be important biological markers

The ratio of signal-noise of the ECG(electrocardiogram) signal is low.In order to eliminate the noise in ECG,improve the performance of ECG monitors and the diagnosis efficiency of computer-aided system,various kinds of noise rejection methods have been proposed.Generally,maybe all of them are useful to the denoising in some certain,but not full.In this thesis,a series of denoising steps are introduced.As a result,a relatively original ECG waveform is detected.

Objective To investigate the mRNA expression of CC Chemokines, including RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), monocyte chemoattracctant protein-1 (MCP-1), monocyte chemoattracctant protein-3 (MCP-3) and macrophage inhibitory protein 1? (MIP-1?), in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with chronic urticaria, their mutual correlation, and the relationship between the expression level of CC chemokines and the serum level of IgE and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in the patients. Methods Reverse transcription-polymerase reaction (RT-PCR) was applied to semiquantitatively analyze the mRNA expression of RANTES, MCP-1, MCP-3 and MIP-1? in PBMCs from 31 patients with chronic urticaria and 22 healthy subjects.

In the patients, the mRNA expression of RANTES negatively correlated with the serum level of IgE and ECP (P

Objective To investigate fluoride-induced inflammation and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in cultured human acute monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1).Methods In vitro cultured THP-1 cells were used as a model of microglia.After cultured with different concentrations of [0 (negative control group),10,50,100,500,1 000 and 5 000 μmol/L] sodium fluoride (NaF) for 48 h,the survival of cells was detected by CCK8.THP-1 cells were divided into 3 groups:control group,low dose and high dose fluoride groups according to the results of CCK8 assay,and then treated with different concentrations of sodium fluoride (0,500,5 000 μmol/L) for 48 h,concentrations of inflammatory cytokines,such as Interleukin-lβ (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in THP-1 mononuclear cell culture medium.The protein levels of IκBα,phospho-NF-κB p65 and phospho-IκB-α were detected by Western blotting.Results THP-1 cells were treated with different concentrations of sodium fluoride (500,1 000,5 000 μ mol/L) for 48 h.Fluoride group THP-1 cell survival rate [(73.21 ± 3.67)％,(31.40 ± 4.56)％,(0.40 ± 0.24)％] was lower than that of the negative control group [(100.00 ± 0.00)％,all P ＜ 0.01].Compared to the control groups [(0.36 ± 0.07),(31.07 ± 0.81)ng/L],significant increases of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β [(1.42 ± 0.79),(19.47 ± 2.90)ng/L] and TNF-α [(61.06 ± 2.20),(172.72 ± 2.29)ng/L] were detected in culture medium in low-fluoride and high fluoride groups,respectively.Interestingly,compared to the control groups [(100.00 ± 5.48)％,(100.00 ± 14.82)％],significant increases of phospho-NF-κB p65 [(113.71 ± 8.99)％,(134.74 ± 1.93)％] and phospho-IκB-α [(152.61 ± 14.16)％,(176.91 ± 7.95)％] were observed in both low-fluoride and high fluoride groups.Meanwhile,the protein level of IκBα in high fluoride group [(63.53 ± 9.67)％] was significantly lower than that of the control group [(100.00 ± 10.99)％,P ＜ 0.01].Furthermore,significant positive correlation was detected between increased IL-1β,TNF-α and phospho-NF-κB p65 (r =0.74,0.72,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Excessive fluoride can induce microglial cells to release inflammatory cytokines and activate nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway.The release of inflammatory cytokines and activation of the signaling pathway may be one of the mechanisms of the damage of the central nervous system caused by sodium fluoride.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of cluster needling of scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation(Tang's Approach) on interleukin-4 (IL-4), T lymphocyte subsets of immunosuppressive model rat.Methods40 healthy SD rats (male, 200～250 g) was divided into 5 groups randomly: normal group (NG), model group (MG), acupuncture group(AG), rehabilitation group(RG), and acupuncture with rehabilitation group(ARG), 8 rats in each group. Each group was treated by acupuncture or rehabilitation except the model or normal group, once a day for 10 d. Radioimmunoassay and malondialdehydein (MDA) technique were used to test the contents of IL-4 and T lymphocyte subsets in each group. ResultsThe contents of IL-4 of immunosuppressive rats can decrease significantly in RG and ARG (P＜0.05). The level of CD4+ T lymphocyte increased more significantly in AG and RAG than in MG after the treatment (P＜0.01). ConclusionTang's Approach can decrease the contents of IL-4 and improve the level of CD4+ T lymphocyte in rats.

Objective：To investigate the changes of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactive (CGRP-IR)nerve fibers in rat dental pulps during acute inflammation. Methods： Rat acute pulpitis model was established by silk thread ligation and the change of CGRP-IR nerve fibers was observed with immunohistochemical method.Results： In radical pulp,the CGRP-IR nerve fibers became denser and more heavily stained；in the coronal pulp,the number of CGRP-IR nerve fibers decreased,but the background staining was heavier. Conclusion： During acute inflammation,the amount of CGRP increases in dental pulps, and is released into the surronding tissue in a large scale in the coronal region.

Objective To investigate the effect of calcipotriol on melanin synthesis by human melanocytes and its possible action mechanism.Methods Primary melanocytes were cultured with various concentrations(10~(-5),10~(-6),10~(-7),10~(-8),10~(-9),10~(-10) mol/L)of calcipotriol for 24 or 48 hours.Subsequently,MTT assay,NaoH assay.Dopa-oxidase assay,Western blot and semiquantitative RT-PCR were used to measure the cell proliferation of,melanin synthesis by.tyrosinase activity,protein and mRNA expression levels in the melanocytes.respectively.Those untreated melanocytes served as the control.Results The calcipotriol between 10~(-9) and 10~(-5) mol/L had no significant effect on the proliferation of cultured melanocytes(P＞0.05).while that of 10~(-9) and 10~(-8) mol/L increased tyrosinase activity by 137%and 123%,and enhanced melanin synthesis by 40.63%and 18.75%,respectively,compamd with untreated melanocytes(both P＜0.05).Moreover,the tyrosinase protein level increased by 270.4%(P＜0.05)in melanocytes treated with calcipotriol at 10~(-9) mol/L for 24 hours.The strongest tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis was observed in melanocytes treated with calcipotriol of 10~(-9) moI/L.Conclusions The proliferation of melanocytes is unaffected by calcipotriol at 10~(-9) to 10~(-5) mol/L,but it can elevate the expression of tyrosinase protein,enhance tyrosinase activity,and promote melanin synthesis in melanocytes.
