内蒙古乌海市鸟类区系特征及群落结构

2009年4月至2010年3月对内蒙古乌海市的鸟类区系及群落结构进行了调查研究。共记录到鸟类132种,隶属于17目37科。其中留鸟26种,夏候鸟71种,旅鸟27种,冬候鸟8种。繁殖鸟有97种,其中古北界鸟类有83种,占繁殖鸟类种数的85.6%。研究发现不同季节、不同生境中的鸟类群落特征差异较大。春季的鸟类多样性指数和均匀度指数均最高;湿地的鸟类多样性指数最高。本文基于研究结果提出了对乌海市鸟类及其生存环境的保护建议。     

一起荷斯坦奶牛乳头瘤病诊断及其病毒基因型分析

牛乳头瘤病毒是一种能够引起牛发生皮肤乳头状瘤、纤维素瘤、膀胱和食道癌的DNA病毒,现已在牛群中广泛传播,对牛养殖业造成了重大经济损失.为了诊断甘肃某荷斯坦奶牛场300多头泌乳期奶牛乳头突发疣状物的病因,本研究采用流行病学调查、临床观察、组织病理学、分子生物学检测方法和基因测序技术,对患有疣状物的奶牛进行综合诊断.结果 表明,乳头患疣状物奶牛的其它部位无类似生长物,无发烧、疼痛等异常临床症状,组织病理学HE检测疣状物呈现角化过度和细胞空泡化现象,这与牛乳头瘤病毒感染的组织病理变化相似,并且用PCR方法获得了牛乳头状瘤病毒L1基因,测序比对结果显示为乳头瘤病毒7型基因,核苷酸同源性达98％以上.因此,本次荷斯坦奶牛乳头突发疣状物为乳头瘤病毒7型感染引起的,这是甘肃地区首次发现该基因型乳头瘤病毒,应引起奶牛场与防疫部门的重视.     

未绝经宫颈癌患者肿瘤组织中环氧合酶2的表达及其临床意义

目的探讨环氧合酶2(COX-2)在宫颈癌组织中的表达与月经周期的关系及其临床意义。方法选取47例未绝经宫颈癌手术病人,病史结合子宫内膜HE染色观察判断患者所处月经周期时段,采用免疫组织化学SP法检测宫颈癌组织中COX-2及增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)的表达,计算机图像分析COX-2免疫染色密度值及PCNA标记指数(LI)。结果宫颈癌组织中COX-2表达阳性者增生期表达强于分泌期(P<0.05),但阳性率无显著性差异(P>0.05),COX-2阳性癌组织中PCNALI高于阴性者,差异有显著性(P<0.01)。有淋巴结转移者COX-2的表达高于无转移者(P<0.05),宫颈癌组织中COX-2的表达与FIGO临床分期、组织分化程度无显著相关性(P>0.05)。结论未绝经宫颈癌患者肿瘤组织中COX-2的表达在增生期较分泌期明显增加,并参与调节肿瘤的生长、转移。

Identification and validation of key genes associated with non-small-cell lung cancer

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the main causes of death induced by cancer globally. However, the molecular aberrations in NSCLC patients remain unclearly. In the present study, four messenger RNA microarray datasets (GSE18842, GSE40275, GSE43458, and GSE102287) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between NSCLC tissues and adjacent lung tissues were obtained from GEO2R and the overlapping DEGs were identified. Moreover, functional and pathway enrichment were performed by Funrich, while the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network construction were obtained from STRING and hub genes were visualized and identified by Cytoscape software. Furthermore, validation, overall survival (OS) and tumor staging analysis of selected hub genes were performed by GEPIA. A total of 367 DEGs (95 upregulated and 272 downregulated) were obtained through gene integration analysis. The PPI network consisted of 94 nodes and 1036 edges in the upregulated DEGs and 272 nodes and 464 edges in the downregulated DEGs, respectively. The PPI network identified 46 upregulated and 27 downregulated hub genes among the DEGs, and six (such as CENPE, NCAPH, MYH11, LRRK2, HSD17B6, and A2M) of that have not been identified to be associated with NSCLC so far. Moreover, the expression differences of the mentioned hub genes were consistent with that in lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma in the TCGA database. Further analysis showed that all the six hub genes were associated with tumor staging except MYH11, while only the upregulated DEG CENPE was associated with the worse OS of patients with NSCLC. In conclusion, the current study showed that CENPE, NCAPH, MYH11, LRRK2, HSD17B6, and A2M might be the key genes contributed to tumorigenesis or tumor progression in NSCLC, further functional study is needed to explore the involved mechanisms.
