宫颈癌及癌前病变组织中肥大细胞与微血管计数的相关性研究

目的探讨宫颈癌及癌前病变组织中肥大细胞(MC)和微血管密度(MVD)的关系和临床意义。方法采用免疫组化方法检测40例宫颈浸润癌(ICC)、40例宫颈上皮内瘤变(CIN)及原位癌、10例正常宫颈组织中的MC的表达和MVD值。结果宫颈浸润癌MC计数(MCD)明显高于正常组织和CINⅠ、Ⅱ级组织,并与肿瘤的浸润深度、淋巴结转移和临床分期密切相关(P<0.05),从正常组织到CIN再到浸润癌,MVD均显著升高,低分化、浸润程度深、临床分期高、有淋巴结转移者,其MVD显著高于中高分化、浸润程度浅、临床分期低、无淋巴结转移者(P<0.05)。MCD与MVD之间存在高度正相关(r=0.532,P<0.01)。结论癌组织中浸润的MC通过释放生物活性物质促进肿瘤血管的形成,MCD和MVD可以作为反映肿瘤恶性程度、转移和预后的有效指标。

早期胃癌淋巴结转移与临床病理特征相关危险因素分析

为了研究早期胃癌患者的临床病理特征与淋巴结转移发生的相关性。本研究收集了2009年6月至2017年4月本院收治的共185例早期胃癌患者的病理资料,采用卡方检验分析早期胃癌患者发生淋巴结转移与患者的年龄、性别、肿瘤数量、肿瘤大小、组织分型、肿瘤浸润程度、分化程度以及淋巴管癌栓情况等病理特征之间可能存在关系;同时,采用Logistic回归模型对早期胃癌患者淋巴结转移的独立危险因素进行分析。结果显示,早期胃癌的淋巴结转移与患者的年龄、肿瘤大小、分型、分化程度、浸润程度以及有无淋巴管癌栓之间密切相关(p0.05)。Logistics回归模型分析显示,高龄、肿瘤大小2 cm、肿瘤分化程度低、肿瘤浸润至粘膜下层这几个因素都是早期胃癌患者淋巴结发生转移的独立危险因素(p0.01)。早期胃癌的淋巴结转移与患者的一系列病理特征密切相关,其中高龄、肿瘤大小2 cm、肿瘤分化程度低、肿瘤浸润至粘膜下层均是早期胃癌淋巴结转移的独立危险因素。

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.

     

Identification and Characterization of the First Equine Parainfluenza Virus 5

正Dear Editor,Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5), known as canine parainfluenza virus in the veterinary field, is a negative-sense,nonsegmented, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family (Chen 2018).
