ER、PR、CA-153、Ki-67的表达与乳腺癌临床病理特征及预后的相关性研究

目的:研究雌激素受体(ER)、孕激素受体(PR)、糖类抗原-153(CA-153)、Ki-67的表达与乳腺癌临床病理特征及预后的相关性。方法:选取2015年3月-2017年4月我院收治的乳腺癌患者190例为研究对象。分别采用免疫组化法检测患者ER、PR、Ki-67表达情况,采用酶联免疫吸附法检测CA-153表达情况。分析上述四项指标的表达与临床病理特征的关系,并作指标间的相关性分析。结果:有淋巴结转移的乳腺癌组织中ER、PR阳性率明显高于无淋巴结转移,差异有统计学意义(P0.05),而年龄、肿瘤大小、TNM分期不同的乳腺癌组织中ER、PR阳性率比较差异均无统计学意义(P0.05)。肿瘤大小2cm、TNM分期为Ⅲ-Ⅳ期、有淋巴结转移乳腺癌组织中CA-153阳性率分别高于肿瘤大小≤2cm、TNM分期为Ⅰ-Ⅱ期、无淋巴结转移,差异均有统计学意义(P0.05),而年龄不同的乳腺癌组织中CA-153阳性率比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。TNM分期为Ⅲ-Ⅳ期、有淋巴结转移乳腺癌组织中Ki-67阳性率明显高于TNM分期为Ⅰ-Ⅱ期、无淋巴结转移,差异均有统计学意义(P0.05),而年龄、肿瘤大小不同的乳腺癌组织中Ki-67阳性率比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。经Pearson相关性分析显示,ER、PR、CA-153、Ki-67在乳腺癌中表达均呈正相关(P0.05)。结论:临床工作中可通过联合检测ER、PR、CA-153、Ki-67的表达情况,从而有效判断乳腺癌患者的病情严重程度以及转移情况,值得临床推广应用。     

神经胶质瘤中PTEN、Ki-67和HIF-1α的表达及临床意义

目的:抑癌基因PTEN、癌基因Ki-67及HIF-1α对多种人类肿瘤的恶性进展均起重要的调控作用。本研究主要探讨PTEN、Ki-67及HIF-1α在人脑胶质瘤中的表达及临床意义,为胶质瘤患者预后的判定、分子病理学的诊断、基因靶向的治疗奠定理论基础。方法:在83例原发性人脑胶质瘤组织样本中,通过免疫组化的方法检测PTEN、Ki-67及HIF-1α的表达情况,并分析其表达相互间及其表达与肿瘤恶性级别之间的相关性。结果:在正常脑组织中,PTEN的表达均为阳性,Ki-67的表达均为阴性,10%(1/10)的样本HIF-1α的表达为阳性。在胶质细胞瘤中,PTEN的表达显著降低(P=0.001),而Ki-67(P0.001)和HIF-1α(P=0.001)的表达明显增高。随肿瘤恶性级别的增高,PTEN的表达呈降低趋势(P0.001),而Ki-67和HIF-1α的表达呈升高趋势(两者P均0.001)。相关性分析表明,PTEN的表达与Ki-67和HIF-1α的表达呈负相关(r值分别为-0.289和-0.304;P值分别为0.008和0.005),Ki-67的表达与HIF-1α的表达呈正相关(r=0.833;P0.001)。结论:胶质瘤组织缺乏抑癌基因PTEN蛋白的表达,而高度表达癌基因Ki-67和HIF-1α。抑癌基因PTEN表达减少或失活,癌基因Ki-67和HIF-1α的过表达对胶质瘤恶性进展可能起到至关重要的作用。PTEN、Ki-67和HIF-1α蛋白的联合检测对胶质瘤恶性程度和预后的判定有十分重要的临床意义。

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.     

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.     

Cytoskeleton and mitochondrial morphology and function

It has been well established that the cytoskeleton is an essential modulator of cell morphology and motility, intracytoplasmic transport and mitosis, however cytoskeletal linkage to the organelles has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Indeed, cytoskeleton appears to be essential in determining and modulating gene phenotype as a function of cellular environment. According to recent studies, the organization of the cytoskeleton network together with associated protein(s) could be essential in regulating mitochondrial function and particularly the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane to ADP. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the main properties of the cytoskeletal environment of mitochondria and the possible role(s) of this network in mitochondrial function in myocytes.     

Cross-reactivity between storage and dust mites and between mites and shrimp

Many patients have sensitivities to multiple species of storage and house dust mites. It is not clear if this is because patients have multiple sensitivities to species-specific mite allergens or if these mites share many cross-reacting allergens. Our objective was to further define the cross-allergenicity between several species of storage and house dust mites using crossed-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE), crossed-radioimmunoelectrophoresis (CRIE), immunoblotting, and ELISA. CIE and CRIE reactions revealed that storage mites shared two cross-antigenic molecules and one of these bound IgE in a serum pool from mite allergic patients. Antibody in anti-sera built to each species of mite recognized many SDS–PAGE resolved proteins of other mite species and this suggested the potential for other cross-reactive allergens. Among patient sera, IgE bound to many different proteins but few had IgE that bound to a protein with common molecular weights across the mite species and this suggested mostly species-specific allergens. Antiserum built to each mite species precipitated one protein in shrimp extracts that bound anti-Der p 10 (tropomyosin) and IgE in the serum pool. Anti-Der p 10 showed strong binding to shrimp tropomyosin but very little to any of the mite proteins. ELISA showed the mite extracts contained very little tropomyosin. The storage and dust mites investigated contain mostly species-specific allergens and very small amounts of the pan-allergen tropomyosin compared to shrimp and snail.
