Objective To discuss the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and HBV DNA ,liver fibrosis ,liver function and HBeAg .Methods HBV genotypes ,HBV DNA ,liver fibrosis indicators and alanine aminotransferase(ALT ) ,aspartate aminotransferase(AST ) ,total bilirubin(TBIL) ,albumin(ALB) and HBV e antigen(HBeAg) were detected in patients with serum hepatitis .All data were statistically analyzed .Results There was no significant difference of HBV DNA ,ALT ,AST ,TBIL ,ALB , procollagen- Ⅲ -peptide ,type Ⅳ collagen ,hyaluronic acid and laminin between patients with B and C genotype infection (P> 0 .05) . However ,HBeAg level in patients with C genotype infection was higher than that in patients with B genotype infection (P< 0 .05) . Conclusion There might be no significant difference of HBV DNA ,liver function and liver fibrosis between patients with B and C genotype infection ,but HBeAg level in patients with C genotype infection could be higher than patients with B genotype infection .

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the role of SCF/c-Kit signaling in the invasion of bladder cancer T24 cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Western blotting was used to detect the expression of c-Kit and PI3K pathway activation stimulated by stem cell factor (SCF) in T24 cells. The invasiveness of T24 cells before and after SCF stimulation and Wortmannin (aspecific PI3K inhibitor) treatment was evaluated using Transwell invasion assay (direct and indirect counting methods).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>T24 cells expressed c-Kit protein and showed obvious Akt phosphorylation after stimulation with SCF (1 ng/ml) for 24 h. Compared to the control group, SCF stimulation (1 ng/ml) caused a greater number of T24 cells to migrate through the polycarbonate film (P<0.01), and this effect was blocked by the application of Wortmannin before the stimulation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SCF/c-Kit signaling promotes the invasiveness of T24 cells, and this effect is mediated by the PI3K pathway.</p>

To study the functions of human Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2IIIc (FGFR2IIIc) gene in cancer cells, breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 were infected by recombinant adenoviruses containing FGFR2IIIc and its S252W mutant, respectively. FGFR2IIIc gene was amplified from an existing plasmid and its S252W mutant was obtained by overlapping extension PCR. These two genes were separately cloned into the adenoviral shuttle plasmid pAdTrack-CMV, confivmed by DNA sequencing linearized, and co-transformed into Escherichia coli BJ-5183 with the adenoviral vector pAdEasy-1. The resulting recombinant expression vectors Ad-FGFR2IIIc and Ad-FGFR2IIIcS252W were linearized and transfected into HEK293A cells to get adenoviral particles. GFP was used to verify the gene expression. The recombinant adenoviral particles were harvested, titrated, and then infected MDA-MB-231 cells. The expression of FGFR2IIIc and its S252W mutant were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting, and the effect of these recombinant adenoviruses on MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation was analyzed by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and flow cytometry. The results showed the recombinant adenoviral particles could infect MDA-MB-231 cells and express the target proteins. MTT showed that both FGFR2IIIc and its S252W mutant inhibited MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation, but the mutant was more effective. Flow cytometry showed that both FGFR2IIIc and its S252W mutant arrested MDA-MB-231 cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, resulting in low cell proliferation.

BACKGROUND: Maintenance and activation of cascade reaction influence T cell proliferation or transformation into nonreactive state even apoptosis. B7 binding to CD28 effectively activates T cells in combination with T cell receptor pathway, and enhances T cell proliferative activity. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the costimulated activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with CD28 and CpG containing oligodeoxynucleotides (CpGODN) MoAb combined with CD80, and its killing effect on human gastric cancerous cell line MKN45 in vitro.METHODS: PBMCs were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation method, and cocultured with interleukin-2, CD28 and CpGODN MoAb for 1-5 days. MKN45 cells were divided into 4 culture conditions: CD28/CpGODN, CD80 plus CD28/CpG ODN, CD80 alone, and blank control.The killing efficiency was measured by MTT method.The ultramicrostructure of cells was observed by electron microscope. Apoptosis was verified by a flow cytometery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: CD80 alone did not display killing effect on MKN45 cells. By MTT method, combination of costimulated activation of PBMC with CD28/CpGODN and CD80 showed enhanced killing effect compared with single therapy (P < 0.05), and the ratio of effector cell and target cell at 15: 1 resulted in half killing efficiency. Electron microscope and flow cytometery verified necrotic or apoptotic cells after 24 hours exposure to costimulated activation. Compared with blank control group, CD80 alone elevated the apoptosis rate of MKN45 cells (P < 0.01). Results from the present study show that CD80 can elevate the killing effect of costimulated activation of PBMC with CD28/CpGODN on MKN45 cells in vitro.

Objective To investigate an effective method for detecting lymphatic micrometastasis in gastric carcinoma.Methods RT-PCR technique was applied to examine MMP-7 mRNA in 94 lymph nodes in 24 cases of gastric carcinoma.Results Routine pathological method detected lymphatic metastasis in 54 lymph nodes,while MMP-7 mRNA RT-PCR showed positive in 78 lymph nodes. When re-examination for the 28 negative lymph nodes in the initial pathological examination and positive in RT-PCR, 8 lymph nodes with metastasis were found by routine pathological method.2 of 5 patients whose lymph nodes were negitive in pathological examination,but positive in MMP-7mRNA were found liver metastasis 16 and 22 months after radical gastrectomy. Conclusions MMP-7 mRNA RT-PCR is a sensitive method for detecting lymphatic micrometastasis for patients with gastric carcinoma. It is a great help for eluvating the postoperative prognosis and supplemental treatmemt.

Objective To explore the value of lymphatic mapping (LM) and sentinel lymph node(SLN) analysis in laparoscopic colectomy for colon carcinoma. Methods Thirty-two patients with clinically localized colonic neoplasms were subjected to submucosal injection of isosulfan blue dye (0.5-1.0 mL) via a colonoscope during operation. Blue-stained lymphatics were visualized through the laparoscope and followed to the SLN,which was tagged. The colectomy was completed in standard fashion. All lymph nodes were stained by hematoxylin and eosin,and multiple sections of each SLN were examined by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining using cytokeratin antibody. Results At least one SLN was identified laparoscopically in all patients. The SLN accurately predicted the tumor status of the nodal basin in 94% of cases. In 8 cases (25%),an unexpected lymphatic drainage pattern altered the extent of mesenteric resection. The SLN was negative by HE staining in 4 (13%) cases,which were demonstrated positive for micrometastases through immunohistochemical staining. Conclusions SLN mapping during laparoscopic colon resection can alter the margins of resection and in combination with immunohistochemical staining may improve staging,which may more accurately assign patients to prospective protocols.
