Association of the expressions of platelet-derived growth factor receptor and c-Fos with the biological characteristics of bladder cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the relation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) and c-Fos protein expressions with human bladder transitional epithelial cell carcinoma (BTCC). METHODS: The expressions of PDGFR and c-Fos were investigated in 11 normal bladder tissue samples, 14 adjacent non-carcinoma tissues and 43 BTCC tissues by means of SP immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS: The c-Fos expression was found in the cell nuclei and cytoplasm, and PDGFR in the nuclear membrane, cytoplasm, and cellular membrane. PDGFR and c-Fos were detected in 81.40% and 48.83% of the BTCC tissues respectively, at the rates both significantly higher than those in normal and adjacent non-carcinoma tissues (P<0.05). Correlation between the expression of c-Fos and the tumor grading was noted (P<0.05). The expressions of PDGFR and c-Fos in tumor blood vessels were significantly higher than those in normal vessels. CONCLUSIONS: The expressions of PDGFR and c-Fos might be involved in the development of BTCC, possibly related to the angiogenesis of the tumors. c-Fos expression can indicated the cell proliferative status of the BTCC.     

The CLDN5 locus may be involved in the vulnerability to schizophrenia.

The present study was designed to detect three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on 22q11 that was thought as being of particularly importance for genetic research into schizophrenia. We recruited a total of 176 Chinese family trios of Han descent, consisting of mothers, fathers and affected offspring with schizophrenia for the genetic analysis. The transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) showed that of three SNPs, rs10314 in the 3'-untranslated region of the CLDN5 locus was associated with schizophrenia (chi(2) = 4.75, P = 0.029). The other two SNPs, rs1548359 present in the CDC45L locus centromeric of rs10314 and rs739371 in the 5'-flanking region of the CLDN5 locus, did not show such an association. The global chi-square (chi(2)) test showed that the 3-SNP haplotype system was not associated with schizophrenia although the 1-df test for individual haplotypes showed that the rs1548359(C)-rs10314(G)-rs739371(C) haplotype was excessively non-transmitted (chi(2) = 5.32, P = 0.02). Because the claudin proteins are a major component for barrier-forming tight junctions that could play a crucial role in response to changing natural, physiological and pathological conditions, the CLDN5 association with schizophrenia may be an important clue leading to look into a meeting point of genetic and environmental factors.     

甲醛固定源同种异体骨移植材料的体外实验研究

OBJECTIVE: To conduct an in vitro study to assess the preliminary possibility of using formalin-fixed, instead of fresh, human bone tissues for allografting. METHODS: Fresh cadaveric bone tissues were fixed by formalin for more than 6 months and dissected into 5 mmx5 mmx5 mm pieces and 5 mmx5 mmx40 mm sticks, followed by chemical treatments to prepare the allograft bone materials. When alls treatments were completed, the bone grafts were centrifuged and their properties and cellular compatibility assessed in comparison with the currently used bone grafts clinically. RESULTS: The residual formaldehyde of the fixed allograft bone material was much below the controlled level and no significant differences were noted between the bone graft materials tested in regard to the chemical and mechanical properties and biocompatibility. CONCLUSION: This material we have prepared may meet the clinical demands for bone grafting, with good biocompatibility and less chance for infection by pathological agents.     

Effect of age and caloric restriction on insulin receptor binding and glucose transporter levels in aging rats

We report on the effect of age and chronic caloric restriction (CR) on insulin binding and glucose transporter content in both diaphragm and heart muscle membrane of young (11 months), mid-age (17 months), and old (29 month) ad libitum fed and CR Brown-Norway rats. The control animals received rat chow ad lib and CR animals were allowed 60% of ad libitum food. The CR regimen was initiated at four months of age and the animals were maintained on their respective diets until necropsy. There was no effect of age on insulin binding for either ad libitum or CR animals at each age evaluated. Caloric restriction significantly lowered insulin levels at each age studied when compared to the ad libitum-fed rats. However, CR animals were noted to have increased insulin binding (p < 0.001) compared to ad libitum-fed animals at each age for diaphragm muscle. For the heart, there appeared to be a decreased binding, particularly at higher insulin concentrations, in CR-fed animals. There was no net change in Glut-1 or Glut-4 levels for heart muscle membrane, or Glut-4 levels for diaphragm muscle membrane between ad libitum or CR animals. This data indicates that caloric restriction may have tissue-specific effects for insulin receptor binding, and that the improved insulin sensitivity in CR states is not a result of altered glucose transporter protein content.     

173例支气管哮喘特异性脱敏治疗的进一步评价

对173例支气管哮喘特异性脱敏治疗的疗效及影响疗效的因素进行了分析。结果表明:显效为30.6%(53/173).有效为56.1%(97/173),无效为13.3%(23/173)。影响疗效的因素与病情的程度有关,而与年龄、病程、皮试阳性反应强弱及脱敏治疗前4个疗程内是否应用曲安缩松等无关。并对特异性脱敏治疗支气管哮喘的优缺点进行讨论。

Role of endothelin in the pathogenesis of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive and 2 kidneys 1 clip rats.

The plasma endothelin (ET) level in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and 2K1C hypertension animal models and its vasoconstrictive effect on renal and tail arteries were studied. The results demonstrated that there was no difference in plasma ET level between the hypertensive groups SHR, 2K1C, normotensive control groups Wistar Kyot (WKY) and Sprague Dawley (SD), while the vasoconstrictive effect of ET in SHR was more dominant than in WKY. The EC50 of the renal and tail arteries in SHR (0.8912 +/- 0.1662 x 10(-8) M, 0.6103 +/- 0.0878 x 10(-8) M) was apparently lower than that in WKY (1.77 +/- 0.2991 x 10(-8) M, 1.2267 +/- 0.2502 x 10(-8) M, P less than 0.05), but no difference was found in 2K1C and SD rats. The four groups of animals exhibited no difference of such effects as response to norepine-phrine (NA). The findings suggested that the increased arteriole sensitivity to ET be an important factor in the pathogenesis of hypertension in SHR.
