Expression of FHL1 in gastric cancer tissue and its correlation with the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer

This study was performed to analyze the expression of four and a half LIM domains 1 (FHL1) in gastric carcinoma tissue and its correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer. In addition, the role of FHL1 in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells was investigated to provide an experimental basis for future treatments of gastric cancer. FHL1 mRNA and protein expression in gastric carcinoma and the adjacent normal gastric mucosa tissue were determined using RT-PCR and western blots. Correlations of FHL1 expression with the incidence, progression, and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer were analyzed. Changes in the invasion and metastatic potential of MKN45 human gastric cancer cells were observed after the transient transfection with an eukaryotic expression vector containing full-length FHL1. Expression of FHL1 mRNA in gastric carcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in the adjacent normal tissue (P < 0.05). FHL1 expression in gastric carcinoma tissue from patients who were positive for lymph node metastasis was significantly lower than those in patients who were negative for lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Lower FHL1 expression was correlated with lower degrees of differentiation, higher TNM stages, and greater invasive potential of the gastric cancer (P < 0.05). The FHL1 mRNA and protein expression patterns were similar in gastric cancer. FHL1 protein expression in gastric carcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in the surrounding normal tissue (P < 0.05). FHL1 protein expression was significantly lower in gastric carcinoma tissue from patients who were positive for lymph node metastasis than that detected in patients with no lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Lower FHL1 protein expression was correlated with lower degrees of differentiation, higher TNM stages, and greater invasive potential in gastric cancer (P < 0.05). However, the expression of FHL1 was independent of the patient's gender, age, and tumor size (P > 0.05). Overexpression of FHL1 in the MKN45 human gastric cancer cell line using an eukaryotic expression vector resulted in a significant reduction in the invasiveness and metastatic ability of these cells as determined using the Transwell chamber invasion assay (P < 0.05). The decrease in or loss of FHL1 expression may be related to the incidence, progression, invasiveness, and metastatic potential of gastric cancer.     

基于RAPD标记的南苍术居群遗传多样性分析

采用RAPD标记技术对分布于江苏小九华山、小汤山和湖山,安徽金寨和芜湖以及湖北保康和英山的7个南苍术〔Atractylodes lancea(Thunb.)DC.〕野生居群的28个单株基因组总DNA进行PCR扩增,在此基础上分析居群的遗传多样性及遗传分化,并采用聚类分析法对居群的遗传关系进行分析。结果表明:用18条RAPD引物共扩增出193条带,其中多态性条带111条,多态性条带百分率(PPB)为57.51%;平均每条引物扩增出10.72条带,其中多态性条带6.17条。从省级水平看,安徽居群的PPB、有效等位基因数(Ne)、Nei’s基因多样性指数(H)和Shannon信息指数(I)均最低,而湖北居群的Ne、H和I均最高,但江苏居群的PPB最高;从居群水平看,湖北保康居群的PPB、Ne、H和I均最高,而安徽金寨居群均最低。7个居群的基因分化系数和基因流分别为0.206 5和1.921 5,说明7个居群总遗传变异的20.65%存在于居群间、79.35%存在于居群内。7个居群间的遗传距离为0.150 7～0.252 1,其中,安徽金寨和芜湖居群间最小(0.150 7),江苏湖山和安徽芜湖居群间最大(0.252 1)。基于遗传距离的聚类分析结果表明:7个居群可分为2组,湖北保康居群单独成组,其他6个居群聚为另一组;来自同一居群的单株均聚在一起。研究结果提示:南苍术居群间的遗传多样性较低,居群间无明显的遗传分化。

心内直视手术中七十岁以上患者的体外循环管理

目的总结分析心内直视手术中七十岁以上患者的体外循环特点和管理方法。方法 2005年3月至2008年7月间7000余例手术中70岁以上患者共有194例,分类进行心内直视手术。体外循环时全部应用进口膜肺,勃脉力A和胶体预充,常规加入白蛋白、激素和乌司他丁;心肌保护采用间断灌注4：1冷含血停搏液,顺灌逆灌和桥灌相结合;常规监测混合静脉氧饱和度和血细胞压积,积极应用超滤技术。结果术中转流平稳,血流动力学稳定,监测指标均在正常范围,平均体外循环时间和主动脉阻断时间分别为111.5±40.4m in和63.6±21.0m in,自动复跳率52.6%,平均搭桥数目3.4±0.8支,术后平均气管拔管时间24.0±12.7h,平均ICU时间4.7±3.5d。结论 70岁以上患者以瓣膜和冠状动脉病变为主、病变复杂,体外循环时间和主动脉阻断时间较长,各脏器保护要求高,针对高龄患者的特点,制定相应的体外循环管理方法,是保证手术成功的重要因素。
