Clinical significance of syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 expression in gallbladder squamous cell/adenosquamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective@#To investigate the expression of syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 and their clinicopathological significance in patients with gallbladder squamous cell (SC)/adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) and adenocarcinoma (AC).@*Methods@#A total of 126 patients with SC/ASC (n=46) and AC (n=80) were included in this study. The expression levels of syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 were detected by Envison™ immunohistochemistry assay. The clinical and prognostic significance of syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 were analyzed.@*Results@#In the 46 SC/ASC samples, syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 were positively expressed in 29 (63.0%) and 28 (60.9%) tumor tissues, respectively. (Positive expression was defined based on the staining in the component of squamous cell carcinoma. That is to say, the tissue which adenocarcinoma part was positively stained, but squamous cell carcinoma part was negatively stained is also regarded as negative.) In the 80 AC samples, 47 (58.8%) cases showed syndecan-1 positive expression, and 51 (63.8%) showed syndecan-2 positive expression. There was no significant difference in the positive rates of syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 between SC/ASC and AC groups (P>0.05 for all). The levels of syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 were associated with tumor size, TNM staging, lymph node metastasis, invasion of adjacent tissue, and surgical procedures in SC/ASC patients (P<0.05 for all). However, their expression was associated with tumor differentiation, tumor size, TNM staging, lymph node metastasis, invasion of adjacent tissue, and surgical procedures in AC patients (P<0.05 for all). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of SC/ASC and AC patients revealed that the average survival time for patients with positive syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 expression was significantly shorter than that of those with negative expression (P<0.01 for all). Cox multivariate analysis indicated that syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 expression were independent unfavorable prognostic factors for SC/ASC and AC patients (P<0.05 for all).@*Conclusion@#The syndecan-1 and syndecan-2 expression are associated with the tumor progression and poor prognosis in patients with gallbladder SC/ASC and AC.

Differential expression of serum miRNAs in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated by gifitinib before and after acquiring drug resistance / 中南大学学报(医学版)

To explore the differential expression of serum miRNAs in patients of advanced non- small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated by gifitinib before and after acquiring drug resistance.
 Methods: A total of 4 patients with advanced NSCLC from Affiliated Hospital of Yueyang Vocational Technical College, who acquired drug resistance during gefitinib therapy from June 2013 to June 2015, were enrolled. Serum samples were collected before treatment and after acquiring drug resistance. MicroRNA (miRNA) microarray was used to assess the levels and compositions of miRNAs in serum. Real-time RT-PCR was used to validate the results of miRNAs with significant differences in expression. The candidate miRNAs inhibitors and mimics were transfected into lung cancer cells by liposome, and the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to gifitinib was detected.
 Results: The miRNA microarray showed that there were significantly differential expression of miRNAs in serum of NSCLC patients after acquiring drug resistance, and 24 miRNAs were changed in more than 2-fold. Among them, 19 miRNAs were up-regulated and 5 miRNAs were down- regulated (both P<0.05). Especially, the expression of miR-21 in serum of NSCLC patients after obtaining resistance was up-regulated more than 10-fold compared with that before treatment. The results of RT-PCR was consistent with the results of miRNA microarray. The up-regulation of miR-21 in lung cancer cells could elevate the half maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) of gefitinib, and the down-regulation of miR-21 in lung cancer cells could reduce the IC50 of gefitinib (both P<0.05).
 Conclusion: There is differential expression of miRNAs in serum of NSCLC patients before treatment and after acquiring drug resistance during gefitinib therapy. The up-regulation of miR-21 may be involved in regulating the acquiring drug resistance of gefitinib.

The expression and significance of CD10, SMA and P63 on human breast myoepithelial cells / 中国医师杂志

Objective To study the expression and significance of CD10, SMA, P63 on human breast myoepithelial cells. Methods SP immunohistochemical method was used to examine the expression of CD10, SMA, P63 on human breast myoepithelial cells from 68 breast diseases samples, including breast fibroadenoma, breast fibroadenesis, breast atypical ductal hyperplasias, ductal carcinomas in situ and breast invasive carcinomas. Results 2 +/3 + circumferential CD10, SMA and P63 staining of MEC was seen in 10 patients with breast fibroadenoma, breast fibroadenoma and 13 patients with atypical ductal hyperplasias. In an analysis of total ducts by 15 patients with breast ductal carcinomas in situ, 3 + circumfenrential staining was seen in 92 of 384 ducts(23.96%) stained for CD10 versus 185 of 384 ducts (48. 18%) stained for SMA and 80 of 384 ducts(20. 83%) stained for P63. All differences among percentage positively stained of these three antibodies was significant, p-values was lower 0. 05. MECs were not found with immunohistochemistry in 170 of 384 duets (44. 27%)with anti-CD10,74 of 384 ducts(19.27%) with anti-SMA and 127 of 384 ducts(33.07%) with anti-P63. MECs were not found with CD10,SMA and P63 in 30 patients with breast invasive carcinomas. Conclusion We concluded that CDIO could be another useful marker of breast myoepithelial cells after SMA and P63. It provided more sophisticated information about presence or absence of breast myoepithelial cells in confusing breast lesions.

The quantitative analysis of cytomorphology in atypical metaplastic bronchial epithelium / 中国实用内科杂志

Objective To study the quantitative cytomorphologic parameters in early diagnosis and follow-up of lung cancer.Method With HE staining and image analysis,quantitative analysis of cytomorphology was made on paraffin sections of 86 specimens of bronchial mucosa,sampled by bronchoscopic biopsy,which would reflect a series of events from squamous metaplastic bronchial epithelium to invasive bronchogenic carcinoma.Result 8 nuclear parameters (area,deviation of area,perimeter,deviation of perimeter,shape factor,deviation of shape factor,volume density nucleus,nucleus/plasma ratio)and 2 cellular nodes(perimeter,deviation of perimeter)increased or decreased parallelly with advancing nuclear atypia.Conclusion The two stages of the moderate and severe atypical metaplasia of bronchial epithelium are the critical ones changing from benign to malignant.The quantitative analysis of cytomorphology is useful for discovering and following up the precancerous lesions of bronchogenic squamous cell carcinoma.

Apoptotic cells and related factors in ovariectomized rat osteoporosis model / 中华内科杂志

Objective　To investigate the status of apoptosis of osteoblast, osteoclast and the relative factors. Methods　Apoptotic cells were examined using in situ end labeling technique. Expressions of bcl-2, Fas and transforming growth factor(TGF)β1 were observed with immunohistochemical method. Results　Positive expression rate (40.5±5.2)% of apoptosis cells was significantly increased in the osteoblast, but the expression rate of apoptosis cells (8.4±1.2)% was significantly decreased in the osteoclast of the post-ovariectomy rats than in the sham-operated rats. The expression of Fas was decreased in osteoclast (20.0%) and increased in osteoblast (80.0%) of the post-ovariectomized rats. The expression of TGFβ1 was significantly decreased in the osteoclast (0) and the osteoblast (20.0%) of the post-ovariectomized rats. The above-mentioned targets in post-ovariectomized rats treated with nilestriol/levonorgestrel were close to those sham-operated rats (P＞0.05). Conclusions　 Bone loss in the post-ovariectomized rats is attributable to the lower level of estrogen so that the apoptosis cells were decreased in osteoclast but were increased in osteoblast. As a result, the process of bone absorption prevails over that of bone formation. Expression of TGFβ1 depends on stimulation of estrogen. TGFβ1 may stimulate apoptosis of osteoclast and restrain apoptosis of osteoblast. Fas can induce the apoptosis of osteoclast.
