Objective To study the expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 in human gastric cancer and evaluate their effects on carcinogenesis,cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma,as well as clinical significance.Methods The expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 were detected by immunohistochemical method (streptavidin-peroxidase) in the tissues of 75 primary gastric carcinomas and 15 gastric ulcers.Results The positive expression rate of DCR3 in gastric carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues,and the expression of PTEN and Fas was obviously lower than that in normal tissues (P<0.01).The expression of DCR3 was negatively correlated with Fas and PTEN respectively (r=-0.720,P<0.001; r=-0.336,P<0.001).There was a positive correlation between PTEN and Fas.The expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 was closely correlated with lymph node metastasis,clinical stage,histological differentiation grade and tumor depth of gastric cancer,but not related to sex,age and tumor size (P>0.05).Conclusion PTEN,DCR3 and Fas have mutual restrictive relationships in the process of invasion and metastasis in gastric cancer.Detecting the expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 in gastric cancer is helpful to judge the malignant biological behavior of gastric cancer at a different angle,which may be considered as reliability index in clinic diagnosis,judging curative effect and monitoring the prognosis of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the role of AGE-RAGE system on intimal hyperplasia in autogenous vein graft of diabetic rats.Methods The experiments were performed on 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats which divided into two groups:diabetes group and control group.Autogenous vein graft model was established in all rats.Specimens were harvested 7 days and 14 days after surgery for histological examination,and RAGE,NF-?B p65 and VCAM-1mRNA were measured by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-PCR.Western Blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the protein expression of RAGE,NF-?B p65 and VCAM-1.At the same time,the levels of serum AGE were tested.Results Compared with non-diabetic rats of control group,the intimal hyperplasia of vein graft in diabetic rats obviously increased(P

Objective To investigate the significance of PI3K/AKT signal transduetion pathway in gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST).Methods The expression of PI3K、Akt、PTEN were detected with RT-PCR and Westem-blot of tumor specimens from 124 GIST cases and the corresponding normal gastric mucosa.Results In gastrointestinal stromal tumors,the tumor suppressor gene-PTEN was on low expression as with the inereased expression of PI3K and Akt.The positive expression rate of PTEN,PI3K and Akt was not statistically correlated with patients'demographics and tumor histological type,but they are significantly correlated with lymphatic metastasis and mucosal invasion.The expression of PI3 K and Akt are of significantly positive correlation(r=0.292,P=0.031).The expression of PI3K and PTEN are of significantly negetive correlation(r=-0.412,P=0.036).The expression of PTEN and Akt are of significantly negetive correlation(r=-0.386,P=0.024).Conclusion PI3 K/Akt and P,PTEN may have bean on reciprocally suppressive effect during the development of GIST.

Objective To investigate short-term clinical effect of anterolateral minimally invasive approach of total hip replacement.Methods A total of 35 patients treated by total hip replacement was divided into A and B groups.Group A used anterolateral minimally invasive approach,and group B used standard posterior Moore approach.The clinical data of operation time,amount of bleeding,blood transfusion volume,component position,Harris hip score,and complications of two groups were statistically compared.Results In terms of operation time,group A had certain disadvantages than group B.No significant difference was found between two groups in terms of operation time,annount of bleeding,blood transfusion volume,component position,Harris hip score,and complications.Conclusions In total hip replacement,anterolateral minimally invasive approach was safe and effective compared to standard posterior Moore approach.Doctors should choose their familiar surgical approach in operation.

[Objective]The oxidative injury of retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)plays a key role in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration(ARMD). This study is to investigate the effects of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the vital transcriptional factor X-box binding protein 1(XBP1)in acrolein-induced oxidative damage of RPE.[Methods]RPE cells were treated with acrolein (75μmol/L)for 2~24 h,expression of glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78)and XBP1 was determined by Western blot analysis. After being transfected with XBP1 siRNA with 24 h,the expression of XBP1 was knocked-down in RPE cells. Protein level of Nrf2 and SOD2 was then determined by Western blot analysis and intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS)generation was determined by DCF staining. Acrolein was added for 8 h after being transfected with XBP1 siRNA or control siRNA for 24 h. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay before and after the treatment. Subretinal injection of Cre or GFP adenovirus was performed in XBP 1flox mice. After 1 week the mice were sacrificed. Total RNA was extracted from mice eyecups using TRIzol and real-time RT-PCR was performed to determine the two XBP1 down-stream genes,ERdj4 and p58IPK. Cryosectioning and immunofluorescent staining were performed to look at the expression of XBP1,Nrf2 and SOD2 in mice RPE.[Results]Protein level of GRP78 was significantly un-regulated after exposure to acrolein for 2 and 4 h. XBP1 was activated after acrolein treatment for 6 h. Knock-down of XBP1 by siRNA down-regu?lates anti-oxidant genes expression and increased ROS generation in RPE cells. Loss of XBP1 exacerbates acrolein-induced cell apoptosis. XBP1 was knocked-down in the RPE of XBP1flox mice after subretinal injection of Cre adenovirus. Decreased mRNA level of ERdj4 and p58IPK,and decreased Nrf2 and SOD2 expression were seen in the Cre-injected group.[Conclusions]Acrolein induces ER stress and activates XBP1 in RPE cells. Knock-down of XBP1 down-regulates anti-oxidant genes expression ,increases ROS generation,and exacerbates acrolein-induced cell apoptosis. XBP1 plays a role in the anti-oxidant defense in the RPE cells.
