ABSTRACT
Objective This article was aimed to take exploratory evaluation on the scientific research performance of provincial key disciplines in a medical university,and to provide a scientific basis for the discipline evaluation related topics.Methods This paper took 29 provincial key disciplines in a medical university as the evaluation system.We calculated the scientific research performance of key disciplines.Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method was used to evaluate the scientific level of performance,while the use of TOPSIS and gray correlation analysis method to rank the efficiency of its research,and the results obtained by the three methods was used for statistical correlation analysis.Results According to the results calculated by DEA Method,there were 18 DEA efficient units and 11 non-DEA efficient units.While in this 11 non-DEA efficient units,8 of them needed to reduce re source inputs and the other 3 units needed to increase research outputs.Meanwhile there were significant positive correlations between evaluation results of TOPSIS Method andGrey Correlation Analysis Method with Data Envelopment Analysis Method,respectively [the correlation coefficient:rs 1 =0.797(P =0.000); rs 2=0.583(P =0.007); rs 3-0.536(P =0.003)].Conclusions Compared to TOPSIS Method and Grey Correlation Analysis Method,DEA Method not only could evaluate the ef fectiveness of discipline,but also provide evidence to improve the non-DEA efficient units.
ABSTRACT
Inhibitor of growth 2 (INC2 ) is a member of INC family, and cooperates with p53 in regulating cell cycle, apoptosis, and aging. It can also facilitate chromatin remodeling and transcription regulating through histone modifications. Researches suggest that INC2 protein is an important factor in the genesis, metastasis and prognosis of many kinds of tumors. Resent studies indicate that INC2 can not be simply classified as oncogene or tumor suppressor. At present, the function of INC2 in tumorigenesis and tumor development involves interaction with varied molecules, but the mechanisms remain largely unknown, which still require further investigation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate ING2 expression in normal gastric tissue,gastric carcinoma and precancerous lesions, and to explore correlation between ING2 expression and the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric carcinoma and the clinicopathological signficance as well as the correlation between ING2 and raP53 protein. Methods The expression of ING2 was measured by PV9000 two-step immunohistochemical staining. In total, 188 gastric cancer(GC), 128 matched normal gastric mucosa,35 chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), 87 intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 36 dysplasia (DYS) samples were analyzed. Expression of mP53 was measured in 40 samples from the 188 gastric carcinomas mentioned above. Results Positive ING2 expression was significantly more frequent in CAG (74.29%) ,IM (91.95%) ,DYS (75.0%) and GCs (70.21%) than in normal gastric mucosa (36.72% ,P ＜0.05). Among GCs, ING2 expression varied by Lanren's classification. A significantly higher rate of positive ING2 expression was observed in intestinal type GCs (80. 56%) than in diffuse (64.49%) and mixed (55.56%, P ＜ 0.05) type GCs. Furthermore, positive ING2 expression was significantly more frequent in well-to-moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma(80. 60%) than in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (62. 62%, P ＜ 0. 05). No correlation was found between ING2 expression and mP53 expression in GC (P ＞ 0. 05). Over-expression and mislocalization of ING2 may be involved in the development of CC, especially intestinal-type GC. Further investigations are needed to explore the relevant molecular mechanism.
