Objective To investigate the value of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test combining liquid-based cytology test in cervical cancer screening. Methods A total of 377 samples from Wenzhou People's Hospital from June 2014 to September 2015 were collected and screened by HPV E6/E7 mRNA test combining with liquid-based cytology test , and the results was compared with the findings from the gold criteria of histology and pathology. Results The combination of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test and liquid-based cytology test can enhance the testing sensitivity and specificity. The sensitivity of the combination of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test and liquid-based cytology test for the diagnosis of LSIL was 94.41%, and that for the diagnosis of HSIL was 96.36%. Based on the gold criteria of histology and pathology , the sensitivity , specificity , positive-predictive value and negative predictive value of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test for the diagnosis of HSIL was 90%, 60.67%, 48.53% and 92.49%respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive value and negative- predictive value of liquid-based cytology test for the diagnosis of HSIL was 72.73%, 75.28%, 54.79% and 87.01% respectively. Conclusions The sensitivity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test is superior to that of liquid-based cytology test , while the specificity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test is inferior to that of liquid-based cytology test. The negative predictive value of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test is more meaningful than that of liquid-based cytology test. The combination of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test and liquid-based cytology test can enhance the testing sensitivity , but it does not increase the specificity.

Objective To elucidate the protein expression and gene expression status and the relationship between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein expression and EGFR gene status.Methods Tissue microarray containing 72 cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues was constructed,and EGFR protein expression and gene status were evaluated by immunohistochemical and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques.Results Protein expression of EGFR:69 of 72 cervical squamous cell carcinomas were observed.The results demonstrated it was significant association with invasion depth,lymphnode metastasis and lymph-vessel invasion (x2 =4.998,P < 0.05 ; x2 =4.299,P < 0.05 ; x2 =4.686,P < 0.05) in cervical squamous cell carcinomas.For FISH assessing EGFR gene,64 of 72 carcinomas were observed; 7 of 64 cases showed EGFR gene amplification,and 25 disomy,23 trisomy and 9 polysomy were detected.There were high levels of protein expression in all the EGFR gene amplification cases,and there were significant association between EGFR protein expression and the gene copy number (x2 =13.564,P < 0.05).Conclusions EGFR may participate in the occurrence,progression and metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.Overexpression of EGFR protein may result from gene amplification and gene copy number increases,which showed that EGFR gene expression status may be a more effective biological indicator of cervical squamous cell carcinoma targeted therapy.

Objective To Explore the effect of Cassia Seed budding transforming organic vanadium. Methods Separate organic vanadium from inorganic vanadium in Cassia Seed sprouts by dislysis bag. The content of total vanadium and inorganic vanadium were determined by using the method of Graphite Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The transformation efficiency of organic vanadium in the Cassia Seed spouts was calculated. Results The seed coat of Cassia Seed could accumulate massive inorganic vanadium existing in environment during the process of its natural growing period,but the transformation efficiency of organic vanadium mainly occurred inside seed coat of Cassia Seed. Condusion Cassia Seed budding is one pathway of the biologic organification of vanadium.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a high performenc capillary zone electrophoresis method for the determination of the water-soluble active ingredients in different parts of the Salvia miltiorrhiza.METHODS:Capillary electrophoresis was conducted using uncoated capillary column(75 ?m?50.2 cm,effective length=40 cm)with 5 mmol?L-1 phosphate-borax(ph7.4)as running buffer by pressure injection(0.5 psi/4 s)and constant voltage separation(20 kV)with a detection length of 210 nm and a column temperature of 25 ℃.RESULTS:A complete baseline separation of PAH,DSS and PA was achieved within 8 min under the optimized conditions.The good linear range was from 2.5 ?g?mL-1 to 200.0 ?g?mL-1 for all the three ingredients.The average recoveries of the 3 ingredients were 100.04%,99.99%,and 100.01%,respectively,with RSD at 1.75%,1.73%,and 1.74%,respectively.CONCLUSION:The method is satisfactory in precision,recovery and linearity,and it can be used to determine three water-soluble active ingredients in different parts of the Salvia miltiorrhiza.

Objective To investigate the proper inner control genes suitable for mRNA expression level comparison of aging rat tissues.Methods Real-time reverse transcription PCR was used to examine in aging rat tissues the expression level of G3pd(glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase),ACTB(?-actin),H3f3b(H3 histone,family 3B),Arbp(acidic ribosomal phosphoprotein P0)and 18S(18S ribosomal RNA).Results The most stably expressed housekeeping gene in aging rat kidney was ACTB,in heart and lung G3pd showed the minimum variation;Arbp expression was the most stable one in different tissues.Conclusion For aging rat intra-tissue mRNA normalization at least two housekeeping genes should be used: one is the ribosomal RNA gene 18S and another one is Arbp.

AIM To determine the effect of L-arginin e on cerebral blood perfusion following subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) in rats. METHODS Endovascular perforating SAH models were replicated in Wista r rats, and animals were divided into sham-operated group, SAH group and SAH+ L-arginine group. Dynamic changes of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) with in 24 hours were measured and serum nitric oxide(NO, NO - 2/NO - 3)levels at different time points within 24 hours were detected. Mean arterial blood pre ssure and blood gas were monitored during the experiment. RESULTS No obvious change in physiological parameters in the three groups was observed . rCBF and serum nitric oxide level at every time point after operation in SAH g roup were lower than those in sham-operated group. Pathological alterations abo ve in SAH+L-arginine group were less obvious than those in SAH group. CONCLUSION L-arginine, by antagonizing the decrease of nitric oxi de, exerts protective effect on secondary cerebral ischemia following SAH.

AIM: To investigate the changes of somatosensory evoked potential(SEP), nitric oxide (NO) levels both in serum and in brain tissue after subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) and the influence of Ginkgo biloba extract(GBE) on them. METHODS: Wistar rats were divided into sham-operated group, pure SAH group and GBE-treated group. Dynamic changes of regional cerebral blood flow( rCBF),SEP, and NO levels both in serum and in brain tissue were detected within 24 hours after operation. RESULTS: In pure SAH group, rCBF decreased immediately after operation, with no tendency to recover within 24 hours. Latency of SEP delayed progressively from 1 hour to 24 hours after SAH.NO levels in serum and in brain tissue decreased and increased respectively from 1 hour to 24 hours after SAH. GBE effectively antagonized the changes of above parameters. CONCLUSION: SEP is useful in the judgement of cerebral ischemic damage after SAH. Decrease of serum NO and increase of brain NO are important factors leading to cerebral vasospasm and neural damage respectively after SAH. GBE relieves cerebral ischemic damage by reversing the pathological alterations of NO.
10.Advances in long - term potentiation and long - term depression
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;16(12):1331-1334
The impairment of learning and memory function in the central nervous system(CNS)is one of the main features of aging and Alzheimer' s disease (AD). Many experimental results have showed that long- term memory(LTM) is related to long- term potentiation(LTP) and long- term depression (LTD). They intluenee each other. The relationship between LTP and LTD is complex. Therefore, it is important to study the learning and memory mechanism from LTP、LTD and gene expression in the CNS.
