组织多肽特异性抗原在乳腺癌中的临床研究

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of serum tissue polypeptide-specific antigen (TPS) in breast cancer patients and its clinical value in such cases. METHODS: Altogether 160 subjects (90 patients with breast cancer, 40 with benign breast lesions, and 30 healthy subjects) were enrolled in this study. The serum TPS and CA153 levels were measured by ELISA in all the subjects. RESULTS: The levels and positivity rate of serum TPS and CA153 in breast cancer group were significantly higher than those in the normal subjects group and benign lesion group (P<0.01), and became even higher as the malignancy progressed. High serum TPS level was detected in the cancer patients in stage I. Serum TPS level was the most sensitive to bone metastasis of the malignancy, but its highest levels occurred in cases of lymphoid node metastasis (P<0.05). In patients who responded favorably to the treatment, serum TPS and CA153 levels were significantly reduced (P<0.05), but the reduction in TPS levels tended to be more obvious (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Serum TPS can be used as a very useful and sensitive tumor marker in the diagnosis of breast cancer, especially in case of bone metastasis, and may be of great value in clinical decision-making and assessment of therapeutic effect.     

Effect of inhaled fluticasone propionate on BAL TGF-beta(1) and bFGF concentrations in clinically stable lung transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND: Inhaled fluticasone propionate (FP) therapy decreases inflammation and sub-basement membrane thickness in asthmatic airways. Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in lung transplant recipients (LTRs) involves progressive airway fibrosis and obliteration. Therefore, augmented immunosuppression may be of some benefit in treating BOS. In this study, we examined the effect of 3 months of treatment with high-dose inhaled FP on the concentrations of 2 fibrogenic factors, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta(1) and beta fibrogenic growth factor (bFGF) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from clinically stable LTRs. METHODS: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study with inhaled FP (750 microg, twice/day for 3 months) in 28 LTRs (15 FP and 13 placebo). We recruited 23 healthy controls. We performed spirometry, bronchoscopy, and bronchoalveolar lavage procedures before treatment and after 3 months of treatment. We used commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits to measure BAL fluid TGF-beta(1) and bFGF concentrations. RESULTS: In LTRs before treatment, BAL TGF-beta(1) concentrations (but not bFGF concentrations), total cell counts, and neutrophil percentage increased compared with controls (p < 0.05). We found no significant differences between FP and placebo groups at baseline measurements. After treatment, BAL TGF-beta(1) concentrations significantly increased in the FP group (p = 0.03), but we found no difference between FP and placebo groups; BAL bFGF concentrations increased during treatment in both groups compared with controls (p < 0.05), but not significantly within either patient group (p > 0.05). We found a reverse correlation between forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) and BAL TGF-beta(1) concentration in the FP group (r = -0.53, p = 0.04), and between FEV(1) and BAL TGF-beta(1) concentration in the placebo group (r = -0.74, p = 0.004). Multivariable analysis indicated no significant independent effects of inhaled FP in either BAL TGF-beta(1) or bFGF concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: Bronchoalveolar fluid TGF-beta(1) concentrations increased in LTRs after transplantation and may correlate with the decrease in lung function. Inhaled FP added to conventional immunosuppression had no effect on TGF-beta(1) or bFGF production in BAL fluid.     

Inhibition on Telomerase Activity and Cytotoxic Effects by Cisplatin in Cultured Human Choroidal Melanoma Cells

Purpose: To study the changes of telomerase activity and cytotoxic effects by Cisplatin; cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (CDDP) in cultured human choroidal melanoma. Material and Methods: The primary cultured human choroidal melanoma cells were cultured in the presence and absence of CDDP with different concentration and time respectively. The toxic effects were evaluated by MTT and the level of telormarse was detected by PCR-ELISA assay. And the relationship between telomerase activity and cytotoxic effects were analyzed by a correlation analysis.Results: Following the increase of the concentration and the time of CDDP, gradually repressed telomerase activity was detected in cultured cells. Meanwhile, the restrain rate of the cells increased. The telomerase activity at 24h and 1μg/ml was repressed significantly compared with the control cells. However, the appearance of cell death lagged behind the decreasing of telomerase.Conclusions: CDDP is an effective telomerase inhibitor in cultured choroidal melan

Effect of fathers'' age and birth order on occurrence of congenital heart disease.

STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to examine if there is an effect of fathers' age and of birth order on the occurrence of congenital heart disease. DESIGN--This was a hospital based case-referent study including use of birth defects surveillance data. SUBJECTS--Subjects were 497 cases of congenital heart disease aged between 3 months and 5 years, born in Beijing and Hebei Province, China; 6222 children without congenital heart disease serve as reference baseline. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS--With stratified analysis and logistic regression analyses, congenital heart disease was found to be associated with fathers' age less than 25 years (odds ratio 2.63), independent of mothers' age and of birth order. There was also evidence to show a higher birth order effect on the occurrence of congenital heart disease independent of parental ages. CONCLUSION--Higher birth order and fathers aged less than 25 years were both independently associated with some categories of congenital heart disease and with congenital heart disease overall.

UVB radiation induces phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor, decreases EGF binding and blocks EGF induction of ornithine decarboxylase gene expression in SV40-transformed human keratinocytes

Abstract We previously demonstrated that epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces a several-fold increase in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and the steady-state level of ODC mRNA in cultured SV40-transformed human keratinocytes (1). Pretreatment of cell cultures with ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation resulted in a reduction of EGF-induced ODC activity. To determine whether UVB inhibits the accumulation of ODC mRNA by EGF, cells were pretreated with 20 mJ/cm² UVB or sham-irradiated and then incubated with 100 ng/ml EGF. Northern blot analysis revealed that UVB irradiation entirely blocked the EGF induction of ODC mRNA. Since the binding of EGF to its plasma membrane receptor is the first step in initiating a biological response, the effect of UVB on EGF binding was evaluated. UVB treatment of cultured keratinocytes resulted in an immediate and dose-dependent reduction of EGF binding. Scatchard analysis revealed thai the reduction of EGF binding was due to a 52% decrease in the number of available receptors, from 6.2 × 10⁴/cell to 3.0 × 10⁴/cell. However, UVB decreased the EGF-binding affinity very little (Kd = 0.60 nM in control and Kd=0.75 nM in UVB-treated Z114 cells). In addition, UVB did not alter the rate of EGF internalization. These data suggest that UVB blocks the signal transduction pathway of EGF that is involved in regulation of ODC gene expression. Immunoblot analysis of extracts from irradiated cells showed that UVB induced tyro-sine phosphorylation of EGFR and that the quantity of EGFR protein was unaffected by UVB treatment. Phosphorylation of EGFR may be responsible for decreased binding of EGF to its receptor.
