Objective To detect the total colon transit time (CTT) and segmental CTT of patients with chronic constipation and explore the clinical significance. Methods Colon transit study and defecography(DFG) were performed on 60 patients with chronic constipation. These patients were divided into 3 groups: group Ⅰ, 19 patients with slow transit constipation based on low stool frequency and normal DFG, group Ⅱ, 22 patients with rectal intussusception diagnosed by DFG and group Ⅲ, 19 patients with external rectal prolapse or puborectal muscle syndrome based on the results of DFG. Results Group Ⅰ showed increased total CTT (mean, 96.2 h) and segmental CTT, right colon, 35.3 h (36.7%), left colon, 30.8 h (32.0%), rectosigmoid, 30.1 h (31.3%). Group Ⅱ had normal mean total CTT (57.8 h) and a relative decrease in rectosigmoid CTT [mean, 13.8 h (23.9%)]. In group Ⅲ, patients showed elevated total CTT(mean, 175.1 h) and rectosigmoidal CTT [mean, 115.8 h(66.1%)]. There were significant differences in mean total CTT and rectosigmoidal CTT among the 3 groups ( P

Objective To investigate the bacteroides of patients with AIDS and the healthy control by real-time quantitative PCR in order to reveal the role and significance of gut microflora in the AIDS-associated molecular pathogenesis. Methods The feces of the preoperative AIDS patients (n = 30) and the healthy control (n = 30) were collected. According to the sequences of target genes, specific PCR primers were designed. Bacterial genome DNA extracted from fecal samples was quantified by real-time quantitative PCR to analyze the bacterial amounts. Results In the patients with AIDS, the level of B.fragilis (3.23 ± 1.59; 4.05 ± 1.65), B.uniformis (5.69 ± 0.95;6.70 ± 2.18), B.thetaiotaomicron (5.01 ± 1.61; 6.41 ± 2.34), B.ovatus (5.78 ± 1.03; 7.07 ± 1.75), B.distasonis (4.21 ± 1.21; 5.53 ± 2.46) and B.vulgatus (2.92 ± 1.30; 4.48 ± 1.32) were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (P < 0.05). Conclusion The amount of fecal bacteroides of AIDS patients are significantly higher than those of the healthy control. These data indicate that the gut microflora of AIDS patients was disordered.

Objective To explore the influence of MYC expression level on ovarian cancer cells adhesion and invasion ability,and the involvement of the integrinβ1 in the adhesion and invasion control. Methods Comparative study was done to analyze the relationship between the mRNA level of MYC and ITGB1 among sixty cell lines from the NCI-60 cells bank; Western blot was performed to demonstrate the correlation of MYC and ITGB1 protein level in ovarian cancer cell lines;Immunohistochemistry was adopted to compare the expression level of MYC and ITGB1 in paired primary and metastatic ovarian cancer tissue. Furthermore ,we employed in vitro adhesion test to detect the alteration of ovarian cancer cell adhesion ability to ECM molecular like fibronectin ,collagen I and laminin after fluctuation of MYC and ITGB1 expression; Transwell assay was applied to check the invasion ability variation with the disturbance of MYC and ITGB1 level. Results The mRNA levels of MYC and ITGB1 were dramatically inverse-correlated in NCI-60 cells bank(P<0.01);The protein levels of MYC and ITGB1 in ovarian cancer cell lines were also negative correlated; The primary ovarian cancer tissue showed lower expression of ITGB1 and higher expression of MYC,while the matched metastasis displayed the opposite outcome;Ovarian cancer cells reduced adhesive and invasive capacity in case of ITGB1 being down-regulated ,however, the adhesive and metastatic ability improved tremendously with elevation of ITGB1;Promoted adhesion and invasion ability and rise of ITGB1 expression were observed after downregulation of MYC,meanwhile,and inhibition of ITGB1 reversed the increasement of adhesion and invasion ability. Conclusions MYC,inversely-correlated with ITGB1 in ovarian cancer cells,inhibited ovarian cancer cells adhesion and invasion. Inhibition of MYC could lead to enhanced adhesion and invasion ability of ovarian cancer cells.

Keratinocyte growth factor 2 (KGF-2) is a member of the FGF family that is mainly synthesized by mesenchymal cells and acta predominantly on epithelial cells in a paracrine manner. It is known to play an important role in fetal limb and lung development; skin wound healing and prostatic epithelial cell growth. The KGF-2 coding sequence were isolated from human kidney cDNA library, revealing that the Kgf-2 gene is also expressed in the kidney apparatus. Purified from prokaryotic E. coli cells, the effects of the recombinant KGF-2 protein in cultured keratinocyte were analyzed by using MTT assay and in situ TUNEL assay. Interestingly, results revealed that KGF-2 promoted keratinocyte cell growth by stimulating cell proliferation and attenuating cell apoptosis. These findings supported a few evidences that KGF-2 could contribute to alveolar epithelial cells against apoptosis. Cell migration assays for the first time revealed that KGF-2 could stimulate keratinocyte cell migration in vitro. In addition, in the pilot animal test, recombinant KGF-2 incorporated within the hydrogel dressing exhibited significantly stimulatory effect on cutaneous wound healing. These combined effects implicate a potential therapeutic application of human recombinant KGF-2 in the future.
