1Quantitative analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor, microvascular density and their clinicopathologic features in human hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis is known to be essential to the survival, growth, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are an important angiogenic factor regulating tumor angiogenesis, but its significance and tumor pathologic features are un- clear in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the present study, we analyzed expression of tissue VEGF, alteration of microvascular density (MVD) in microvessel angiogenesis, development and metastasis of HCC, and level of serum VEGF in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant liv- er diseases. METHODS: Tumor specimens were prospectively collected from HCC patients undergoing resection. Total RNAs were extracted and the expression levels were detected from different parts of HCC tissues. The cellular distributions of VEGF and MVD of liver tumors and their paracancerous and distal cancerous tissues were investigated by streptavi- din peroxidase (S-P) immunohistochemistry, respectively. The VEGF levels of circulating blood and hepatoma tissues were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: The incidence of VEGF expression was 63.9% in HCCs (23/36 cases), 78.3% in non-encapsulated HCCs (18/23), and 90.9% in HCCs with extrahepatic metastasis (10/11), respectively. The VEGF expression was tightly correlated with MVD (P <0.01). The MVD in HCC with metastasis, low differentiation or non-encapsulation was significantly higher than that in HCC with intact capsule, high differentiation, or no metastasis. No significant diffe- rence was found between VEGF, MVD, tumor size, and hepatitis virus infection. The level of total RNA in HCC tis- sues was significantly lower but the VEGF level significantly higher than those in paracancerous or distal cancerous ones (P<0.01). The abnormal expression levels of VEGF in sera of HCC patients were directly correlated with the me- tastasis and recurrence of tumors. CONCLUSION: The high expression of VEGF and abnor- mality of tissue MVD are useful predictors for vascular inva- sion and metastasis of liver tumors.Deng-Fu Yao, Xin-Hua Wu, Yong Zhu, Gong-Sheng Shi, Zhi-Zhen Dong, Deng-Bing Yao, Wei Wu, Li-Wei Qiu and Xian-Yong Meng Nantong, China Research Center of Clinical Molecular Biology , Department of Pathology and Department of Gastroenterology , Affiliated Hos- pital of Nantong University Department of Diagnostics , and Institute of Neurosciences , Nantong University Nantong 226001, China 2005Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2005,4,2:81
2The first offshore natural gas hydrate production test in South China Sea显示文摘Natural gas hydrates (NGH)is one of key future clean energy resources.Its industrialized development will help remit the huge demand of global natural gas,relieve the increasing pressure of the environment, and play a vital role in the green sustainable growth of human societies.Based on nearly two decades' studying on the reservoir characteristics in the South China Sea (SCS)and the knowledge of reservoir system,the China Geological Survey (CGS)conducted the first production test on an optimal target selected in Shenhu area SCS in 2017.Guided by the 'three-phase control'exploitation theory which focused on formation stabilization,technologies such as formation fluid extraction,well drilling and completing, reservoir stimulating,sand controlling,environmental monitoring,monitoring and preventing of secondary formation of hydrates were applied.The test lasted for 60 days from May 10^th when starting to pump, drop pressure and ignite to well killing on July 9^th,with gas production of 3.09×10^5 m^3 in total,which is a world record with the longest continuous duration of gas production and maximal gas yield.This successful test brings a significant breakthrough on safety control of NGH production.Jin-fa Li Jian-liang Ye Xu-wen Qin Hai-jun Qiu Neng-you Wu Hai-long Lu Wen-wei Xie Jing-an Lu Fei Peng Zhen-qiang Xu Cheng Lu Zeng-gui Kuang Jian-gong Wei Qian-yong Liang Hong-feng Lu Bei-bei Kou 2018China Geology2018,1,1:117

4Expression and alteration of insulin-like growth factor II-messenger RNA in hepatoma tissues and peripheral blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To investigate the clinical values of serum free insulin-like growth factor Ⅱ (IGF-Ⅱ) levels and IGF-Ⅱ mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and peripheral blood for diagnosis of HCC and monitoring of extrahepatic metastasis.METHODS: Total RNAs were extracted from HCC tissues or peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with HCC, liver diseases devoid of cancer, non-hepatic tumors,and healthy controls, respectively. IGF-Ⅱ cDNAs were synthesized through random primers and reversetranscriptase, amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and confirmed by DNA sequencing analysis. Serum free IGF-Ⅱ levels in patients with different liver diseases were analyzed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS: The amplified fragments of IGF-Ⅱ mRNA by RT-PCR were identical to originally designed ones with a size of 170 bp and confirmed by sequencing analysis.The dilution experiments revealed that the lowest sensitivity of our system was 2 ng/L of total RNA. The positive frequencies of IGF-Ⅱ mRNA were 100% in HCC tissues,53.3% in para-cancerous tissues, and 0% in non-cancerous tissues, respectively. The serum free IGF-Ⅱ levels were significantly higher in HCC than those in chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis. The positive frequency of circulating IGF-Ⅱ mRNA was 34.2% in HCC, no amplified fragment was found in other liver diseases, extrahepatic tumors,and normal controls, respectively. The circulating IGF-Ⅱ mRNA correlated with the stage of HCC, and its positive rate was 100% in HCC with extrahepatic metastasis and 35.5% in HCC with AFP-negative. No significant correlation was found between tumor sizes and circulating IGF-Ⅱ mRNA fragment.CONCLUSION: The abnormal expressions of free IGF-Ⅱ and IGF-Ⅱ mRNA are useful tumor markers for HCC diagnosis, differentiation of extrahepatic metastasis and monitoring postoperative recurrence.Zhi-Zhen Dong Deng-Fu Yao Deng-Bing Yao Xin-Hua Wu Wei Wu Li-Wei Qiu Dao-Rong Jiang Jian-Hua Zhu Xian-Yong Meng 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,30:45
5Opening and evolution of the South China Sea constrained by studies on volcanic rocks:Preliminary results and a research design显示文摘The South China Sea (SCS) is characterized by abundant seamounts, which provide important information about the evolution of the SCS and related deep processes. Cenozoic volcanism in the SCS and its surroundings comprises three stages relative to the spreading of the SCS:prespreading (>32 Ma), syn-spreading (32-16 Ma), and post-spreading (<16 Ma). The pre-spreading magmatism predominantly occurs on the northern margin of the SCS and in South China coastal areas and shows a bi-modal affinity. The syn-spreading magmatic activity was very limited on the periphery of the SCS, but may be concentrated in the SCS. However, seafloor samples of this stage are not available yet because of overlying thick sedimentary deposits. Post-spreading magmatism is widespread in the central and southwest sub-basins of the SCS, Hainan Island, Leizhou Peninsula, Thailand, and Vietnam. These are mainly alkali basalts with subordinate tholeiites, and display OIB-type geochemical characteristics. The Dupal isotope anomaly and presence of high-magnesian olivine phenocrysts suggests their possible derivation from the Hainan mantle plume. The temporal and spatial distribution of Cenozoic volcanism in the SCS and its surroundings may be accounted for either by plate stress re-organization before and after SCS spreading, or by ridge suction of plume flow during opening of the SCS. If the latter is the case, the volcanic rocks within the SCS basin may not be typical mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB). It remains puz-zling, however, that the transition between the South China continental margin and the SCS basin does not have features typical of a volcanic rifted margin. Clearly, the relationship between mantle plume and SCS opening needs further evaluation. A better un-derstanding of the link between deep processes and opening of the SCS not only requires enhanced studies on igneous petrogene-sis, but also is heavily dependent on systematic sampling of seafloor rocks.XU YiGang WEI JingXian QIU HuaNing ZHANG HuiHuang HUANG XiaoLong 2012Chinese Science Bulletin2012,57,24:43

7Mortality and Morbidity of Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants in the Mainland of China: A Multi-center Study显示文摘Hui-Jia Lin Li-Zhong Du Xiao-Lu Ma Li-Ping Shi Jia-Hua Pan Xiao-Mei Tong Qiu-Ping Li Jian-Guo Zhou Bing Yi Ling Liu Yun-Bing Chen Qiu-Fen Wei Hui-Qing Wu Mei Li Cui-Qing Li Xi-Rong Gao Shi-Wen Xia Wen-Bin Li Chao-Ying Ya Ling He Kun Liang Xiao-Yu Zhou Shu-Ping Han Qin Lyu Yin-Ping Qiu Wen Li Dong-Mei Chen Hong-Ru Lu Xiao-Hong Liu Hong Liu Zhen-Lang Lin Li Liu Jia-Jun Zhu Hong Xiong Shao-Jie Yue Si-Qi Zhuang 2015Chinese Medical Journal2015,,20:49
8Rapid improvement of grain weight via highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated multiplex genome editing in rice显示文摘Most of the important agronomic traits in crop plants,such as yield,quality and stress response,are quantitative and jointly controlled by many genomic loci or major genes.Improving these complex traits depends on the combination of beneficial alleles at the quantitative trait loci(QTLs).However,the conventional cross breeding method is extremely time-consuming and laborious for pyramiding multiple QTLs.In certain cases,this approachRongfang Xu Yachun Yang Ruiying Qin Hao Li Chunhong Qiu Li Li Pengcheng Wei Jianbo Yang 2016Journal of Genetics and Genomics2016,43,8:47
9Major complications after radiofrequency ablation for liver tumors:Analysis of 255 patients显示文摘AIM:To investigate the major complications after radiofrequency ablation(RFA) for the treatment of liver tumors and analyze possible risk factors that precipitate these complications.METHODS:From March 2001 to April 2008,255 patients with liver tumors(205 male,50 female;age range,18-89 years;mean age,56.0 years) who received RFA were enrolled in this study.Of these patients,212 had hepatocellular carcinoma,39 had metastatic liver tumors and four had cholangiocellular carcinoma.One hundred and forty eight patients had a single tumor,and 107 had multiple tumors.Maximum diameter of the tumors ranged 1.3-20 cm(mean,5.1 cm).All patients were treated with a cooled-tip perfusion electrode attached to a radiofrequency generator(Radionics,Burlington,MA,USA).RFA was performed via the percutaneous approach(n = 257),laparoscopy(n = 7),or open surgical treatment(n = 86).The major complications related to RFA were recorded.The resultant data were analyzed to determine risk factors associated these complications.RESULTS:Among the 255 patients,425 liver tumors were treated and 350 RFA sessions were performed.Thirty-seven(10%) major complications were observed which included 13 cases of liver failure,10 cases of hydrothorax requiring drainage,three casesof tumor seeding,one case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding,one case ofintrahepatic abscess,one case of bile duct injury,one case of cardiac arrest,and five cases of hyperglycemia.Seven patients had more than two complications.Liver failure was the most severe complication and was associated with the highest mortality.Eleven patients died due to worsening liver decompensation.Child-Pugh classification(P = 0.001) and choice of approach(P = 0.045) were related to post-treatment liver failure,whereas patient age,tumor size and number were not significant factors precipitating this complication.CONCLUSION:RFA can be accepted as a relatively safe procedure for the treatment of liver tumors.However,attention should be paid to possible complications even though the incidences of these complications are rare.Careful patient selection and the best approach choice(percutaneous,laparoscopy,or laparotomy) will help to minimize the incidence and morbidity rate of complications which occur after RFA.Wen-Tao Kong Wei-Wei Zhang Yu-Dong Qiu Tie Zhou Jun-Lan Qiu Wei Zhang Yi-Tao Ding 2009World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,21:35
10Application and prospects of butylphthalide for the treatment of neurologic diseases显示文摘Objective: The 3-N-butylphthalide (NBP) comprises one of the chemical constituents of celery oil. It has a series of pharmacologic mechanisms including reconstructing microcirculation, protecting mitochondrial function, inhibiting oxidative stress, inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, etc. Based on the complex multi-targets of pharmacologic mechanisms of NBP, the clinical application of NBP is increasing and more clinical researches and animal experiments are also focused on NBP. The aim of this review was to comprehensively and systematically summarize the application of NBP on neurologic diseases and briefly summarize its application to non-neurologic diseases. Moreover, recent progress in experimental models of NBP on animals was summarized. Data sources: Literature was collected from PubMed and Wangfang database until November 2018, using the search terms including '3-N-butylphthalide,''microcirculation,''mitochondria,''ischemic stroke,''Alzheimer disease,''vascular dementia,''Parkinson disease,''brain edema,''CO poisoning,''traumatic central nervous system injury,''autoimmune disease,''amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,''seizures,''diabetes,''diabetic cataract,' and 'atherosclerosis.' Study selection: Literature was mainly derived from English articles or articles that could be obtained with English abstracts and partly derived from Chinese articles. Article type was not limited. References were also identified from the bibliographies of identified articles and the authors’ files. Results: NBP has become an important adjunct for ischemic stroke. In vascular dementia, the clinical application of NBP to treat severe cognitive dysfunction syndrome caused by the hypoperfusion of brain tissue during cerebrovascular disease is also increasing. Evidence also suggests that NBP has a therapeutic effect for neurodegenerative diseases. Many animal experiments have found that it can also improve symptoms in other neurologic diseases such as epilepsy, cerebral edema, and decreased cognitive function caused by severe acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Moreover, NBP has therapeutic effects for diabetes, diabetes-induced cataracts, and non-neurologic diseases such as atherosclerosis. Mechanistically, NBP mainly improves microcirculation and protects mitochondria. Its broad pharmacologic effects also include inhibiting oxidative stress, nerve cell apoptosis, inflammatory responses, and anti-platelet and anti-thrombotic effects. Conclusions: The varied pharmacologic mechanisms of NBP involve many complex molecular mechanisms;however, there many unknown pharmacologic effects await further study.Xi-Qian Chen Ke Qiu Hui Liu Qiang He Jia-Hui Bai Wei Lu 2019Chinese Medical Journal2019,,12:39
11AXL is a candidate receptor for SARS-CoV-2 that promotes infection of pulmonary and bronchial epithelial cells显示文摘The current coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic presents a global public health challenge.The viral pathogen responsible,severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),binds to the host receptor ACE2 through its spike(S)glycoprotein,which mediates membrane fusion and viral entry.Although the role of ACE2 as a receptor for SARS-CoV-2 is clear,studies have shown that ACE2 expression is extremely low in various human tissues,especially in the respiratory tract.Thus,other host receptors and/or co-receptors that promote the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into cells of the respiratory system may exist.In this study,we found that the tyrosine-protein kinase receptor UFO(AXL)specifically interacts with the N-terminal domain of SARS-CoV-2 S.Using both a SARS-CoV-2 virus pseudotype and authentic SARS-CoV-2,we found that overexpression of AXL in HEK293T cells promotes SARS-CoV-2 entry as efficiently as overexpression of ACE2,while knocking out AXL significantly reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection in HI 299 pulmonary cells and in human primary lung epithelial cells.Soluble human recombinant AXL blocks SARS-CoV-2 infection in cells expressing high levels of AXL.The AXL expression level is well correlated with SARS-CoV-2 S level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cells from COVID-19 patients.Taken together,our findings suggest that AXL is a novel candidate receptor for SARS-CoV-2 which may play an important role in promoting viral infection of the human respiratory system and indicate that it is a potential target for future clinical intervention strategies.Shuai Wang Zongyang Qiu Yingnan Hou Xiya Deng Wei Xu Tingting Zheng Peihan Wu Shaofang Xie Weixiang Bian Chong Zhang Zewei Sun Kunpeng Liu Chao Shan Aifu Lin Shibo Jiang Youhua Xie Qiang Zhou Lu Lu Jing Huang Xu Li 2021Cell Research2021,31,2:39
12Delayed hepatocarcinogenesis through antiangiogenic intervention in the nuclear factor-kappa B activation pathway in rats显示文摘BACKGROUND:The active form of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF- κB)is involved in the initiation,generation,and development of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),and is up-regulated in inflammation-associated malignancies.We investigated the dynamic expression of NF-κB and its influences on the occurrence of HCC through antiangiogenic(thalidomide) intervention in NF-κB activation. METHODS:Hepatoma models were induced with 2-fluorenyl- acetamide(2-FAA,0.05%)in male Sprague-Dawley rats,and thalidomide(100 mg/kg body weight)was administered intragastrically to intervene in NF-κB activation.The pathological changes in the liver of sacrificed rats were assessed after hematoxylin and eosin staining.NF-κB mRNA was amplified by RT-nested PCR.The alterations of NF-κB and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)expression were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,immunohistochemistry,and Western blotting. RESULTS:Rat hepatocytes showed denatured,precancerous,and cancerous stages in hepatocarcinogenesis,with an increasing tendency of hepatic NF-κB,NF-κB mRNA,and VEGF expression,and their values in the HCC group were higher than those in controls(P<0.001).In the thalidomide- treated group,the morphologic changes generated only punctiform denaturation and necrosis at the early or middle stages,and nodular hyperplasia or a little atypical hyperplasia at the final stages,with the expression of NF-κB (χ2=9.93,P<0.001)and VEGF(χ2=8.024,P<0.001)lower than that in the 2-FAA group. CONCLUSION:NF-κB is overexpressed in hepatocarcinogenesis and antiangiogenic treatment down-regulates the expression of NF-κB and VEGF,and delays the occurrence of HCC.Dong, Zhi-Zhen Yao, Deng-Fu Wu, Wei Yao, Min Yu, Hong-Bo Shen, Jun-Jun Qiu, Li-Wei Yao, Ning-Hua Sai, Wen-Li Yang, Jun-Ling 2010Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2010,9,2:31

15Ankylosing spondylitis: etiology, pathogenesis, and treatments显示文摘Ankylosing spondylitis(AS), a common type of spondyloarthropathy, is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that mainly affects spine joints, causing severe, chronic pain;additionally, in more advanced cases, it can cause spine fusion. Significant progress in its pathophysiology and treatment has been achieved in the last decade. Immune cells and innate cytokines have been suggested to be crucial in the pathogenesis of AS, especially human leukocyte antigen(HLA)?B27 and the interleukin?23/17 axis.However, the pathogenesis of AS remains unclear. The current study reviewed the etiology and pathogenesis of AS, including genome-wide association studies and cytokine pathways. This study also summarized the current pharmaceutical and surgical treatment with a discussion of future potential therapies.Wei Zhu Xuxia He Kaiyuan Cheng Linjie Zhang Di Chen Xiao Wang Guixing Qiu Xu Cao Xisheng Weng 2019Bone Research2019,7,3:30
16Quantitative analysis of hepatic hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and its abnormal gene expression during the formation of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND:Hepatic hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1) is activated in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).This study aimed to investigate the dynamic alterations of HIF-1αand its gene expression so as to explore the relationship between HIF-1αexpression and hepatocarcinogenesis at the early stage of HCC. METHODS:A hepatoma model was made with 2-fluorenyl- acetamide(2-FAA)in male Sprague-Dawley rats.Morphological changes of rat hepatocytes were assessed pathologically (HE staining).The dynamic expression of hepatic and circulating HIF-1αwas quantitatively analyzed by ELISA. The gene fragments of hepatic HIF-1αmRNA were amplified by RT-PCR and confirmed by sequencing.The cellular distribution of hepatic HIF-1αexpression was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:Histological examination confirmed granulelike degeneration to atypical hyperplasia and HCC development in rat hepatocytes and progressive increases in the levels of hepatic and circulating HIF-1αand its gene expression during the course.The levels of HIF-1α expression in the liver and blood of rats with hepatoma were significantly higher than those in normal ratsand those with degeneration.Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the positive expression and hepatocyte distribution of HIF-1αin the development of rat hepatoma. A positive relationship was found between HIF-1α expression in the liver and blood(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The above observations support the hypothesis that the overexpression of HIF-1αand its gene are closely associated with the malignant transformation of hepatocytes and play an important role at the stage of hepatocarcinogenesis.Deng-Fu Yao,Hua Jiang,Min Yao,Yue-Ming Li,Wen-Jing Gu,Yu-Cheng Shen, Li-Wei Qiu,Wei Wu,Xin-Hua Wu and Wen-Li Sai Research Center of Clinical Molecular Biology,Department of Laboratory Science,and Department of Oncology,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University,Nantong 226001, China Third Department of Medicine,Jiaonan People’s Hospital,Jiaonan 266400,China 2009Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2009,8,4:28
17Clinical impact of plasma TGF-β1 and circulating TGF-β1 mRNA in diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND:Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation,angiogenesis,extracellular matrix formation,immunosuppression and cancer development. In this study,we investigated the levels of TGF-β1 and TGF-β1 mRNA expression,their relationship with HBV replication,and their diagnostic value for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). METHODS:Total RNAs were extracted from HCC samples and matched non-tumor tissues,and from peripheral blood mononuclear cells in HCC patients.TGF-β1 mRNA was amplified by RT-PCR and confirmed by DNA sequencing. The distribution of TGF-β1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry.The clinical characteristics were analyzed between TGF-β1 and HBV replication.The diagnostic value of circulating TGF-β1 and TGF-β1 mRNA levels were investigated in HCC patients. RESULTS:The incidence of hepatic TGF-β1 expression was 83.3%in HCC samples,43.3%in the surrounding tissues, 94.7%in the HBV DNA-positive group,and 63.6%in the HBV DNA-negative group.Liver TGF-β1 expression was associated with the degree of HCC differentiation and the status of HBV replication,but not with the size or number of tumors.Circulating TGF-β1 level and incidence of TGF-β1 mRNA were significantly higher in the HCC groupthan in any group of patients with benign liver disease, with a higher sensitivity of 89.5%and a specificity of 94.0% for HCC diagnosis when circulating TGF-β1 levels were >1.2μg/L.No significant correlation was found between TGF-β1 expression and AFP level or tumor size.Combining TGF-β1 level and serum AFP raised the detection rate to 97.4%. CONCLUSIONS:Abnormal expression of hepatic TGF-β1 is associated with the degree of HCC differentiation and HBV replication.Both circulating TGF-β1 and TGF-β1 mRNA can be used as sensitive biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of HBV-induced HCC.Zhi-Zhen Dong,Deng-Fu Yao,Min Yao,Li-Wei Qiu,Lei Zong,Wei Wu, Xin-Hua Wu,Deng-Bing Yao and Xian-Yong Meng Department of Diagnostics,Research Center of Clinical Molecular Biology,Department of Laboratory Science,and Department of GastroenterologyAffiliated Hospital and Institute of Neurosciences,Nantong University,Nantong 226001,China 2008Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2008,7,3:27
18Genetic diversity of rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) in China and the temporal trends in recent fifty years显示文摘To understand geographical distribution of the genetic diversity of rice cultivars {Oryza sativa L.) and its trends in recent fifty years in China, 453 ’ accessions were analyzed by 36 microsatellites loci and 42 phenotypic traits. Results revealed that the genetic diversity by SSRs is highly consistent with that by phenotypic traits and the genetic diversity of indica cultivars was higher than that of japonica cultivars; the genetic diversity of cultivars declined from 1950s to 1980s and then increased greatly; among the six rice ecological zones (REZs), genetic diversity of REZTl was the highest and those of REZV and REZVT were the lowest at both DNA and phenotypic level. Jiangsu and Jiangxi provinces in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River and Sichuan province in southwest of China were the areas with the highest genetic diversity. Breeders in REZV which is an important japonica rice area but with very low genetic diversity should explore more gene resources to widen the genetic backgrounds of cultivars.QI Yonawen ZHANG Dongling ZHANG Hongliang WANG Meixing SUN Junli WEI Xinghua QIU Zongen TANG Shengxiang CAO Yongsheng WANG Xiangkun LI Zichao 2006Chinese Science Bulletin2006,51,6:27
19Sleep and Cognitive Abnormalities in Acute Minor Thalamic Infarction显示文摘In order to characterize sleep and the cognitive patterns in patients with acute minor thalamic infarction(AMTI), we enrolled 27 patients with AMTI and 12 matched healthy individuals. Questionnaires about sleep and cognition as well as polysomnography(PSG) were performed on days 14 and 90 post-stroke. Compared to healthy controls, in patients with AMTI, hyposomnia was more prevalent; sleep architecture was disrupted as indicated by decreased sleep efficiency, increased sleep latency, and decreased non-rapid eye movement sleep stages 2 and 3;more sleep-related breathing disorders occurred; and cognitive functions were worse, especially memory. While sleep apnea and long-delay memory recovered to a large extent in the patients, other sleep and cognitive function deficit often persisted. Patients with AMTI are at an increased risk for hyposomnia, sleep structure disturbance,sleep apnea, and memory deficits. Although these abnormalities improved over time, the slow and incomplete improvement suggest that early management should be considered in these patients.Wei Wu Linyang Cui Ying Fu Qianqian Tian Lei Liu Xuan Zhang Ning Du Ying Chen Zhijun Qiu Yijun Song Fu-Dong Shi Rong Xue 2016Neuroscience Bulletin2016,32,4:28
20Combined serum hepatoma-specific alpha-fetoprotein and circulating alpha-fetoprotein-mRNA in diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, its prognosis is poor, and early detection is of utmost importance. Although alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a useful marker for detecting and monitoring HCC development, the false-negative or false-positive rates with AFP alone may be as high as 30%-40% for patients with small HCCs. To enhance the specificity and accuracy of AFP measurements for HCC, we analyzed AFP expression states in livers, detected the hepatoma-specific AFP (HS-AFP) fraction and AFP-mRNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and explored their clinical implications for HCC diagnosis. METHODS: AFP expression and hepatocyte distributions in liver specimens were investigated by an immunohistoche- mical assay. Total RNAs were extracted from circulating blood, synthesized to cDNA through random primers and reverse transcriptase, and fragments of the AFP gene were amplified by a nested-PCR assay. The HS-AFP fraction was separated by lectin-affinity chromatography and its level was detected by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: The incidence of AFP was 73.3% in HCC tissues and its expression in HCCs with moderate or low differentiation was significantly stronger than that of HCCs with high differentiation (P<0.05). The incidence of AFP gene fragments was 100% in HCCs, and 60% in paracancerous tissues (P<0.01). In the HCC and liver cirrhosis groups, the incidence of HS-AFP was 91.7% and 18% (P<0.01), and of AFP-mRNA was 56.7% and 16% (P<0.01), respectively, and neither was found in controls.HS-AFP or AFP-mRNA was not significantly related to size or number of HCC, but to its differentiation, metastasis, and relapse (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Different AFP expression is present in different parts of HCC tissues. HS-AFP and AFP-mRNA fragments improve sensitivity and specificity, and both are useful markers to diagnose HCC or monitor metastasis and relapse.Wei Wu, Deng-Fu Yao, Yong-Mei Yuan, Ji-Wei Fan, Xiu-Feng Lu, Xiao-Hua Li, Li-Wei Qiu, Lei Zong and Xin-Hua Wu Research Center of Clinical Molecular Biology, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Nantong 226001, China 2006Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2006,5,4:26
