Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of Twist. E-cadherin and N-cadherin in gallbladder carcinoma. Methods From 2000 to 2008, in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, the expression of Twist, E-cadherin and N-cadherin protein were detected in 79 surgically removed gallbladder carcinoma tissue specimens in paraffin blocks and 20 normal gallbladder tissue specimens by tissue microarray technique and immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with normal gallbladder tissues, the expression of Twist and N-cadherin was up-regulated in gallbladder carcinoma tissues and the positive percentage was 68.3% and 49.4% respectively, while which both were 1/20 in normal gallbladder tissues. The percentage of high E-cadherin expression in gallbladder carcinoma tissues was only 27.8 %, which was significantly lower than that in normal gallbladder tissues (20/20;X2 =29.31, P<0. 05). The expression of Twist was correlated with T classification, lymph node metastasis, distant organ metastasis, hepatoduodenal ligament invasion, lymphatic invasion and UICC stage of gallbladder carcinoma (P<0.05). The expression of E-cadherin was correlated with T classification, distant organ metastasis, hepatoduodenal ligament invasion, differentiation degree and UICC stage of gallbladder carcinoma (P<0.05). The expression of N-cadherin was only correlated with lymphatic invasion of gallbladder carcinoma (P <0.05 ). There was significant negative correlation between Twist and E-cadherin expression (P<0. 01). All the 79 gallbladder carcinoma patients were followed up after the surgery, the mean follow-up time was 30.6±14.3months. The 3-year survival rates of patients with low or high Twist expressions were 66% and 7% respectively,there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0. 01). The 3-year survival rates of patients with low or high E-cadherin expressions were 25 % and 86 % respectively, the difference of two groups was significant(P<0.01). The 3-year survival rates of patients with low or high Ncadherin expressions were 39% and 41% respectively, there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). The multivariate analysis indicated that the Twist expression was one of independent prognostic factors of gallbladder carcinoma. Conclusion The abnormal expression of Twist and E-cadherin was correlated with the development and progression of gallbladder carcinoma,and Twist expression was one of the independent prognostic factors of gallbladder carcinoma.

The cells containing 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the antrum of the SD rat's stomach were demonstrated by means of Sternberger's PAP immunohistochemical method and quantitative analysis were performed by means of Weibel's stereological method. The results were as follow: The 5-HT immunoreactive cells in the antrum of the rat's stomach were found only in the surface epithelium and the glandular epithelium of the mucosa. The volume density (V_v) was 0.0038?0.0004, the surface density (N_A) was 42.86+3.20 cells/mm~2 and the numerical density (N_v) was 2627.11?200.42 cells/mm~3. The distribution of 5-HT reactive cells showed an obvious regional difference. From the lesser curvature to the greater curvature of stomach, the cell density decreased gradually. The cell density was the highest in the lesser curvature: N_A was 59.96?3.48 cells/mm~2, Nv was 3729.23?216.89 cells/mm~3; and was second high in the two side walls: N_A was 42.39?3.48 cells/mm~2, Nv was 2647.18+216.57 cells/mm~3; and was lowest in the greater curvature: N_A was 29.39? 4.49 cells/mm~2, N_v was 1843.00?280.09 cells/mm~3. Most of the 5-HT immunoreaclive cells were found in the basal third section of the mucosa and the cell density was the highest. N_A was 92.33?6.92 cell/mm~2,N_v was 5336.28?410.22 cells/ mm~3; in the middle one third of the mucosa, the cell density came to next: N_A was 27.69?2.38 cells/mm~2, N_A was 1708.68?146.65 cells/mm~3; and in the superficial third section of the mucosa, the cell density was the lowest: N_A was 7.29?0.53 cells/mm~2, N_v was 457.00?35.44 cells/mm~3. In addition, a detailed observation on the morphology of the 5-HT immunoreactive cells was also undertaken.

AIM:To screen the gene expression profiles of normal gastric mucosa,primary gastric cancer and metastatic lymph nodes by gene expression microarray and the associated genes with lymph node metastasis by bioinformatics. METHODS:The differentially expressed genes of nontumorous gastric mucosa (group A),primary gastric cancer (group B) and metastatic lymph nodes (group C) were screened by gene expression microarray obtained from Affymetrix company. The results were further analyzed by bioinformatic software including Gene Expression Profiles Analysis of Cohort Experiment,Gene Ontology Enrichment Analysis and Pathway Significant Analysis. The expression of TLN1 in group A,B and C were confirmed by real-time reverse transcription PCR. RESULTS:278 genes were persistent up-regulated in group A,B,C,which participated mainly in immunologic responses,cell adhesion,phosphate transport,inorganic anion transport,cell chemotaxis,cell motility and signal transduction. While 387 genes were persistent down-regulated in group A,B,C,which were concerned with digestion,glucide metabolism,lipid metabolism,protein metabolism,one-carbon compound metabolism,nitrogen compound catabolism and cell adhesion. The pathway analysis suggested that integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathway were abnormally regulated. These genes including THBS1,TLN,CAPN3,ITGAX,SORBS1,CAPN6,CAPN9 were continuous up-regulated or down-regulated in integrin-mediated cell adhesion pathway. The expressions of TLN1 in group A,B,C were 0.0000342?0.0000711,0.1064?0.1251 and 0.2886?0.3529,respectively. The expression of TLN1 in metastatic lymph nodes was significantly higher than that in nontumorous gastric mucosa and primary gastric cancer (P

Objective: To elucidate the correlation between the single nucleotide polymorphism of CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane member 5 ( CMTM5 ) gene rs723840 and the occurrence of high on aspirin platelet reactivity ( HAPR) . Methods:The present study is a case-control study. A total of 210 hospitalized patients in Peking University First Hospital were enrolled. Aspirin response was assessed by 0. 5 g/L arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation ratio (PR), and ≥3/4 quartile of PR of the population was defined as HAPR. Accordingly all the enrolled 210 coronary artery diseases ( CAD) patients were divided into HAPR group and No-HAPR group. The genotypes were determined by poly-merase chain reaction ( PCR) and sequencing analysis for rs723840 of CMTM5 gene. Results:The geno-type frequencies in rs723840 C>T of CMTM5 gene conformed well to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both HAPR group and No-HAPR group. Between the two groups, the genotypes frequencies in HAPR and No-HAPR groups were 48 . 4%, 51 . 6%, 0 . 0% and 73 . 7%, 22 . 9%, 0 . 034%, respectively ( P=0. 004). The C, T allele frequencies were significantly different in the two groups (P =0. 031,OR =0 . 501 , 95%CI:0 . 264-0 . 947 ) . Conclusion:Our study finds a significant correlation between CMTM5 gene rs723840 polymorphism and high on aspirin platelet reactivity.

Objective:To elucidate the correlation between urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 ( 11 dhTxB2 ) and clinical efficacy of aspirin treatment in patients with type 2 diabete and coronary artery disease ( CAD) . Methods:In this prospective cohort study, 169 aged patients with type 2 diabete accom-panying CAD in Peking University First Hospital were enrolled. The level of urinary 11dhTxB2 was detec-ted using enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay. Low aspirin response or high on aspirin platelet reactivity (HAPR) was defined as urinary 11dhTxB2>1 500 ng/g. All the included patients were divided into two groups based on the results, HAPR group and No-HAPR group. Results:Baseline urinary 11dhTxB2 of the patients with type 2 diabete accompanying CAD was ( 3 687 ± 3 052 ) ng/g, while the urinary 11dhTxB2 was (1 954 ± 859) ng/g in patients after 100 mg/d aspirin treatment (P<0. 001). Preva-lence of HAPR in patients with type 2 diabete accompanying CAD were 32 . 5%. Within a mean follow-up time of 12 months, the outcomes occurred more frequently in HAPR group than in No-HAPR group ( P<0 . 05 ) . Conclusion:Urinary 11 dhTxB2 can be recognized as an effective indicator in evaluating aspirin clinical efficacy of patients with type 2 diabete accompanying CAD.
