Brca2 is coordinately regulated with Brca1 during proliferation and differentiation in mammary epithelial cells

We have analyzed the expression of the breast cancer susceptibility gene, Brca2, in mammary epithelial cells as a function of proliferation and differentiation. Our results demonstrate that Brca2 mRNA expression is tightly regulated during mammary epithelial proliferation and differentiation, and that this regulation occurs coordinately with Brca1. Specifically, Brca2 mRNA expression is up-regulated in rapidly proliferating cells; is down-regulated in response to serum deprivation; is expressed in a cell cycle-dependent manner, peaking at the G₁/S boundary; and is up-regulated in differentiating mammary epithelial cells in response to glucocorticoids. In each case, an identical pattern of expression was observed for Brca1. These results indicate that proliferative stimuli modulate the mRNA expression of these two breast cancer susceptibility genes. In addition, the coordinate regulation of Brca1 and Brca2 revealed by these experiments suggests that these genes are induced by, and may function in, overlapping regulatory pathways involved in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation.     

颞耳岩锥长轴方向的确定和应用

用头颅表面两个标志点确定岩锥长轴方向，指导梅氏（Ｍａｙｅｒ）位和斯氏（Ｓｔｅｎｖｅｒｓ）位摄影操作。对１２０例正常头颅ＣＴ图像进行测量，进行统计学处理，确定正常人岩锥长轴前延长线与头颅表面交点的大概位置。结果为：岩锥长轴前延长线交于对侧听眦线外眦后０．８２～２．９０ｃｍ区间，平均值左为１．６６ｃｍ，右为１．８２ｃｍ。结论，以平均值的邻值２ｃｍ为常数，即对侧听眦线外眦后２ｃｍ为岩锥长轴前延长线的前端体表定位标志，与其后端的乳突最突点共同确定岩锥长轴方向。     

女性膀胱颈部梗阻的诊断与治疗

为探讨女性膀胱颈部梗阻的病因、诊断及治疗方法。总结１９８１年５月～１９９６年６月收治女性膀胱颈部梗阻病例３２例。２９例经手术治疗，其中２例行膀胱颈ＹＶ成形术，２７例经尿道膀胱颈部后唇切除术，效果满意。结果认为，女性膀胱颈部梗阻病因为纤维组织增生和慢性炎症所致；尿流率检查是客观评价排尿状况的指标；膀胱镜检查为可靠的诊断手段；经尿道膀胱颈部后唇切除为有效的治疗方法。
