Polymorphism p53 codon-72 and invasive cervical cancer: a meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVES: Although some studies have reported that the arginine isoform on codon 72 of p53 increases the susceptibility to invasive cervical cancer, such data remain controversial. The objective of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for such a relationship. METHODS: Our data sources consisted of a MEDLINE search of the literature published before December 2002, bibliography review, and expert consultation. Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Information on sample size, study design, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and method of genotype determination was abstracted by two reviewers using a standardized protocol. The overall odds ratio (OR) of the p53 gene on invasive cervical cancer was estimated using the Mantel-Haenzel method. RESULTS: The overall OR (95% confidence interval) for cervical cancer among those with the homozygous mutant (Arg/Arg) was 1.2 (1.1-1.3, P=0.001) compared with those with the heterozygous mutant (Arg/Pro). By a cellular type of cervical cancer, the overall OR among those with Arg/Arg was statistically significant in adenocarcinomas (1.7, 1.1-2.6, P=0.024), but not in squamous cell carcinomas (1.1, 0.9-1.2, P=0.960), compared with Pro/Pro. Compared with Arg/Pro, the OR among those with Arg/Arg was statistically significant in HPV types 16 (1,5, 1.2-2.0, P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the p53 gene was associated with increased risk for invasive cervical cancer. However, the risk varied by country, cellular, and HPV type.

Simple measurement of spinal cord evoked potential: a valuable data source in the rat spinal cord injury model.

Measurement of spinal cord evoked potentials (SCEPs) is proposed as a means of predicting locomotion outcome in the rat spinal cord injury (SCI) model. Using 55 rats, three reproducible peak waves (waves I, II and III) were observed during stimulation at the C7 level with recording at the L1 epidural space. Hemisection at the T13 level showed three wave loss patterns: wave III loss only, loss of both wave II and III, and loss of all three waves. Defining an ideal SCI model as establishment of stable monoparesis or paraparesis, all animals in the wave II-III loss group showed favorable results. Histological data and electrophysiological properties allowed reasonable assumptions of wave origin: wave I from extrapyramidal tracts, wave II from the ventral corticospinal tract, and wave III from the dorsal corticospinal tract. Complete destruction of pyramidal tracts in both dorsal and ventral fibers was essential for long-term impairment of locomotion.     

纤维连接蛋白与动脉粥样硬化的关系

炎症机制在动脉粥样硬化斑块的发生、发展中扮演了重要角色。近年来,不断有研究证实前炎性因子纤维连接蛋白(fibronectin,Fn)密切参与了此过程,并与急性冠状动脉综合征的发生有着极强的关联性。本文就Fn与急性冠状动脉综合征的关系及其应用前景进行综述。     

输精管结扎对家兔心功能及心肌NE含量的影响

本实验用日本大耳白兔复制输精管结扎的长期动物模型，分为结扎２５月组（ＶＧ２５），同龄假手术２５月组（ＳＯＧ２５）；结扎６月组（ＶＧ６），同龄假手术６月组（ＳＯＧ６）。记录各组家兔心功能，检测心肌及血清ＮＥ含量，称取心重（ＷＨ）。结果表明，左心室收缩期末压（ＬＶＳＰ），ＶＧ略高于ＳＯＧ；左心室舒张末压（ＬＶＥＤＰ），Ｖ６２５显著的低于ＳＯＧ２５Ｐ＜０．０５），ＶＧ６与５ＯＧ６比较虽无显著差异，也呈低值；±ｄｐ／ｄｔｍａｘ，ＶＧ均明显高于ＳＯＧ（Ｐ＜０．０１）。相关检验表明，＋ｄｐ／ｄｔｍａｘ与血清及心肌ＮＥ含量无相关性；心重与＋ｄｐ／ｄｔｍａｘ呈明显正相关，Ｐ＜０．０５；在２５月组，ＬＶＳＰ与＋ｄｐ／ｄｔｍａｘ呈正相关，Ｐ＜０．０５。提示输精管结扎可提高心肌收缩功能。

准分子激光心肌血管重建的实验研究

为研究心肌血管重建的机理,在15只鼠心、12只免心,用308nm的XeCl准分子激光在活体上照射左心室壁,形成边缘清楚而光滑的圆筒状心肌管道。在活体心室壁的激光管道周围,心肌细胞的损伤很轻微,无炭化焦痂层,未见碎片和凝固坏死层,只有薄层嗜伊红性变和肌浆凝聚两个断续的条形变化带。当心室壁由激光穿透时,血液从心腔进入激光管道,并与周围扩张的血管相通。实验结果提示,由于准分子激光不造成明显的热损伤,因而可能适合于心肌血管的重建。
