To investigate the expression of xenotropic and polytropic retrovirus receptor 1 () in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and its clinical implication. The HPA and UALCAN databases were used to explore the expression of XPR1 in PTC and normal tissues. The cBioPortal database was used to obtain the clinical data of PTC patients and gene expression profile. The correlation of expression with gender,age,sub-types,T stage,N stage,M stage and clinical stage of patients were analyzed. Cox regression was conducted to analysis the factors affecting the prognosis of PTC patients. The mutation of was assessed through cBioPortal database. GO and KEGG analyses were used to explore the related biological pathway of involved in PTC. HPA database analysis showed that XPR1 was highly expressed in PTC tissue compared with normal tissues. UALCAN analysis displayed that expression was significantly higher in PTC tissue compared with normal tissues (<0.01),and the highest and lowest expressions of were observed in tall cell and follicular sub-type of PTC,respectively. The expression of was correlated with age,sub-types,T stage,N stage and disease stage of PTC patients (<0.05 or <0.01),but was not correlated with gender and M stage (all >0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that was an independent prognostic factor of PTC patients (=2.894,<0.05). The cBioPortal database indicated that the mutation appeared in 6% PTC patients; the mutation type mainly was missense and the mutation point was located at the E615K. Enrichment analysis indicated that might affect the PTC progression through involvement in metabolic pathway. is highly expressed in PTC tissues,which is associated with the prognosis of patients. Metabolic pathway associated with might play an important role in PTC progression,indicating that might be a novel biomarker for diagnosis and treatment of PTC.

Objective To explore the expressions of c-Met and c-Src in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and its relationship with clinical pathological characters and prognosis. Methods The c-Met and c-Src expressions were detected by immunohistochemistry in 88 patients with NSCLC from April 2011 to January 2013. The relationship between the expressions of c-Met and c-Src and clinical pathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results The c-Met and c-Src were all significantly expressed in NSCLC tissues, and no expression showed in interstitial and normal lung tissues. The expressions of c-Met and c-Src in patients with NSCLC were associated with sex, differentiation, pathology type, T staging and TNM staging (P<0.05 or <0.01); and the expression of c-Met was associated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). The expressions of c-Met and c-Src in patients with NSCLC were not associated with age, and the expression of c-Src was not associated with lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis result showed that the expressions of c-Met and c-Src in lung cancer tissues was positive correlation (r=0.662, P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the disease free survival time (DFS) and overall survival time (OS) in c-Met high expression patients (51 cases) were significantly shorter than those in c-Met low expression patients (37 cases): (18.08 ± 1.34) months vs. (23.76 ± 1.79) months and (33.63 ± 1.95) months vs. (42.24 ± 2.68) months, the DFS and OS in c-Src high expression patients (25 cases) were significantly shorter than those in c-Src low expression patients (63 cases): (16.96 ± 2.56) months vs. (21.86 ± 1.15) months and (27.84 ± 2.89) months vs. (40.98 ± 1.81) months, the DFS and OS in both c-Met and c-Src high expression patients (25 cases) were significantly shorter than those in both c-Met and c-Src low expression patients (37 cases): (16.96 ± 2.56) months vs. (23.76 ± 1.79) months and (27.84 ± 2.89) months vs. (42.24 ± 2.68) months, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Cox multiplicity result showed that T staging (RR=2.174, 95%CI 1.354 to 3.490, P=0.001) and high expressions of c-Met and c-Src (RR=1.447, 95%CI 1.114 to 1.880, P=0.006) were the independent risk factors of DFS in patients with NSCLC;pathology type (RR=0.610, 95%CI 0.377 to 0.986, P=0.044), T staging (RR=2.215, 95%CI 1.357 to 3.616, P=0.001) and high expressions of c-Met and c-Src (RR=1.979, 95%CI 1.455 to 2.692, P = 0.000) were the independent risk factors of OS in patients with NSCLC. Conclusions The c-Met and c-Src are involved in the development of NSCLC and affect the prognosis of patients with NSCLC.

BACKGROUND:Shape memory polyurethane has good physical and chemical properties and compatibility, but there are relatively few reports on the compatibility of osteoblasts before and after the deformation-complex of the shape memory polyurethane. OBJECTIVE:To observe the compatibility of osteoblasts with shape memory polyurethane before and after the deformation-complex. METHODS: Shape memory polyurethane membranes were prepared, and its stretching-solid-complex was conducted under the experimental environment, to obtain the membrane materials after the deformation-complex. The Sprague-Dawley neonatal rat osteoblasts were inoculated on the shape memory polyurethane membranes before and after the deformation-complex. After 2 hours of culture, the number of adherent cels was counted, and cel spreading was observed; cel proliferation was determined after 1-11 days of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The adhesion amount and proliferation activity of osteoblasts on shape memory polyurethane membranes after the deformation-complex were significantly higher than those before the deformation-complex (P < 0.05). The osteoblasts presented fusiform appearance on the shape memory polyurethane membranes after deformation-complex, and cel arrangement showed a clear orientation, but a smal spreading area; while the osteoblasts presented polygonal shape on the shape memory polyurethane membranes before deformation-complex, arranged in no particular direction, and spread largely. These findings show the shape memory polyurethane has better osteoblast compatibility after the deformation-complex.

Objective: To investigate the effects of FGFR1OP and p57/Kip2 proteins on the genesis and progression of gliomas and their clinical significance. Methods: The expression of FGFR1OP and p57/Kip2 in 54 glioma specimens was detected by SP immunohistochemical technique. The relationship between the ex-pression levels of those proteins and various clinical pathologic factors was evaluated. Results: The expres-sion of FGFR1OP and p57/Kip2 was found in 66.7% and 44.4% gliomas, respectively. The OD value of FG-FR1OP was 0.131±0.010 in high grade gliomas, and 0.118±0.010 in low grade ones, with a statistical signifi-cance (t=-5.497, P=0.000), showing that higher expression of FGFR1OP was significantly associated with glo-ma cell differentiation. The OD value of p57/Kip2 was 0.156±0.008 in high grade gliomas, and 0.165±0.006 in low grade ones, with a statistical significance (t=0.296, P=0.014), showing that lower p57/Kip2 expression was correlated with high grade gliomas. FGFR1OP was negatively correlated with p57/Kip2 in gliomas (r=-0.732, P<0.01). Conclusion: Increased expression of FGFR1OP and/or decreased expression of p57/Kip2 may play an important role in the genesis and progression of gliomas and may indicate a poor prognosis.
