葡萄糖转运蛋白在丁酸钠诱导结肠癌细胞凋亡中的作用

目的观察丁酸钠对结肠肿瘤细胞HT-29葡萄糖转运蛋白(GLUT1～GLUT5)表达的影响以及丁酸钠和不同浓度葡萄糖对bax和bcl-x/l表达的影响,探讨丁酸钠诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡的可能机制。方法2005年4月至12月在武汉大学人民医院应用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测GLUT1～GLUT5mRNA的表达情况。免疫细胞化学法检测bax和bcl-x/l的表达。原位切口末端标记法(Tunel)检测细胞凋亡。结果丁酸钠明显抑制GLUT1和bcl-x/l表达并诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡,但对GLUT2、GLUT3、GLUT5和bax表达影响不大,GLUT4则未被检测出。丁酸钠干预条件下,葡萄糖浓度增加可以明显增加bcl-x/l的表达并降低丁酸钠诱导的细胞凋亡。无丁酸钠干预条件下,葡萄糖浓度变化对细胞凋亡影响很小。结论在HT-29细胞中,丁酸钠能明显降低GLUT1的表达。降低GLUT1的表达与丁酸钠诱导细胞凋亡作用密切相关。     

Neuroprotective effect of estrogen after chronic spinal cord injury in ovariectomized rats

BACKGROUND: At present, there is still lack of effective drugs for chronic spinal cord injury, whereas it is found recently that estrogen has a neuroprotective effect on brain and spinal cord injuries. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of estrogen on the apoptosis of nerve cells after gradual chronic spinal cord injury in ovariectomized rats. DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal trial. SETTING: Institute of Orthopaedics, the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University. MATERIALS: Sixty-five female Wistar rats of common degree, weighing 220–250 g, were provided by the experimental animal center of Lanzhou University. The rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n =5), estrogen-treated group (n =30) and saline control group (n =30), and the latter two groups were observed at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 60 days respectively, and 5 rats for each time point. METHODS: All the rats were treated with bilateral oophorectomy 2 weeks before the experiment. T10 vertebral lamina was revolved into using plastic screw. The spinal canal impingement was not induced initially. After that, the original incision was opened to expose the screw every 7–10 days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The apoptosis and Caspase-3 positive cells in the damaged spinal cord were detected using terminal deoxynucleotidal transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) method and Caspase-3 immunohistochemical staining at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 60 days after chronic spinal cord injury respectively. RESULTS: Totally 65 rats were used, and the deleted ones during the experiment were supplemented by others. Changes of Caspase-3 expression after spinal cord injury: In the sham-operated group, only a small amount of Caspase-3 proteins were observed in the rat spinal cord, mainly located in motor neurons of spinal cord anterior horn. In the estrogen-treated group and saline control group, positive cells expressed occasionally at 1 day postoperatively, began to increase obviously at 7 days after injury, strongly expressed at 14 and 28 days, but decreased at 60 days, mainly located in the neurons of spinal cord gray matter anterior horn, and they expressed fewer in the motor neurons and white matter of ventral horn, and there were obvious differences between the estrogen-treated group and saline control group at 7, 14, 28 and 60 days (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Estrogen can reduce the apoptosis of nerve cells and promote the recovery of neurological function following gradual chronic spinal cord injury.

D2-40 immunohistochemistry in the differential diagnosis of seminoma and embryonal carcinoma: a comparative immunohistochemical study with KIT (CD117) and CD30.

The distinction between seminoma and embryonal carcinoma based on morphology alone can sometimes be problematic, requiring the use of immunohistochemistry to facilitate diagnosis. D2-40 is a monoclonal antibody that reacts with an oncofetal antigen expressed by fetal germ cells and testicular germ cell tumors. The diagnostic value of D2-40 immunohistochemistry in distinguishing seminoma from embryonal carcinoma has not been determined. D2-40 immunoreactivity was evaluated in a series of testicular germ cell tumors and compared with that of KIT (CD117) and CD30, to assess the relative utility of this marker in discriminating between seminoma and embryonal carcinoma. Forty testicular germ cell neoplasms were examined, which included 19 seminomas, three embryonal carcinomas, three teratomas, one yolk sac tumor, and 14 mixed germ cell tumors. The 14 cases of mixed germ cell tumors contained components of seminoma (n=7), embryonal carcinoma (n=11), teratoma (n=10), yolk sac tumor (n=2), and choriocarcinoma (n=1). All cases of pure seminoma and the seminomatous components of mixed germ cell tumors exhibited positive immunoreactivity for D2-40. Focal positivity for D2-40 was also observed in 29% of the embryonal carcinoma samples. D2-40 immunoreactivity in seminomas was characterized by diffuse membrane staining, whereas for embryonal carcinomas, staining was focal and distributed along the apical surfaces of the neoplastic cells. Immunohistochemical staining for KIT was observed in 92% of the seminoma samples and in none of the embryonal carcinomas. Conversely, CD30 expression was identified in 93% of the embryonal carcinoma samples and in none of the seminomas. Other germ cell components showed no immunoreactivity for D2-40, KIT, or CD30. KIT and CD30 are effective immunohistochemical markers in separating seminoma from embryonal carcinoma. Although a highly sensitive marker for seminomas, D2-40 positivity was also observed in a subset of embryonal carcinomas, thus limiting the utility of this antibody for discriminating between these two malignancies.

The incidence of immunosuppression-related skin disease in long-term transplant patients

One hundred and twenty-one patients who had received a renal allograft between 4 months and 21 years previously (mean +/- SD, 71 +/- 62 months) were studied. Seventy-two patients were conventionally immunosuppressed with azathioprine and prednisolone, and 36 had been exposed to the current regime of cyclosporine, azathioprine, and prednisolone. Forty-five patients had viral warts, of whom 20 had more than 10 warts. The presence of viral warts was significantly associated with pale skin type, excess sun exposure, and with duration of allograft. Viral warts were significantly more common in those on conventional immunosuppressive therapy, but this could be solely a reflection of the difference in duration of transplant between the 2 groups. Twelve patients were found to have developed dysplastic or neoplastic skin lesions since transplantation. The incidence of dysplasia increased with increasing age and was significantly associated with pale skin type, excess sun exposure, and duration of allograft. Despite the shorter duration of treatment in those on the new treatment regime, there was no difference between the 2 groups in the proportion of patients with dysplastic skin lesions. Immunosuppression-related skin disease may be a significant problem in allograft recipients in this country, and we suspect that patients taking cyclosporine will have similar problems to those on conventional immunosuppressive drugs alone. Immunosuppressed patients should be advised to avoid sun exposure, to use sunscreens, and should be monitored carefully for the development of dysplastic lesions.     

Trends in incidence and clinical presentation of temporal arteritis in Olmsted County, Minnesota, 1950-1985

Ninety-four Olmsted County, Minnesota residents with temporal arteritis (TA) initially diagnosed between 1950 and 1985 (incidence cohort) were identified. The age- and sex-adjusted incidence of TA per 100,000 population age 50 years or older was 17.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 13.6-20.5), with a marked increase in incidence with age and a threefold greater incidence in women (23.4, 95% CI 18.2-28.7) than in men (7.4, 95% CI 3.7-11.0). The previously described secular increase in TA incidence in Olmsted County women continued from 1970 through 1985, while TA incidence in men declined in this latter time period. Although the frequency of classic clinical manifestations of TA declined over time, the percentage of patients undergoing biopsy who have positive specimens remained relatively constant (women 41%, men 26%). The incidence rate of temporal artery biopsy also increased for women during this period, but declined for men, suggesting that the differing trends in TA incidence by sex may be partially attributable to a detection bias. Future research in TA etiology and epidemiology should focus on possible causal factors linked to the differential TA incidence by sex.
