Galectin-3 stabilizes heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein Q to maintain proliferation of human colon cancer cells

Comparative analysis of proteomes using 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant human colon cancer cell line revealed that decreased galectin-3 expression was significantly associated with retarded proliferation. However, in the presence of 5-FU proliferation rate of cells with suppressed galectin-3 expression did not differ from that of cells with normal galectin-3 expression, even galectin-3 suppression augmented apoptosis. Mechanism by which galectin-3 regulates cancer cell proliferation has been identified in immunoprecipitates of the anti-galectin-3 antibody. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein Q (hnRNP Q) was identified as a protein interacting with galectin-3. Interestingly, while galectin-3 protein was not affected by the hnRNP Q level, its suppression was accompanied by a decrease in hnRNP Q expression. The present study demonstrates that galectin-3 stabilizes hnRNP Q via complex formation, and reduction in the hnRNP Q level leads to slow proliferation and less susceptibility to 5-FU.

新疆哈萨克大尾羊盲肠和结肠初袢综合肌电的活动规律

盲肠的电活动特征与结肠初袢的相同，均为以峰电活动为特征的电活动期与静息期交替出现的周期性电活动。盲肠、结肠初袢有长间隔（６３．２７±４．１３ｍｉｎ），短时程（５．１６±０．１３ｍｉｎ）的增强性峰电活动相，盲肠、结肠初袢的峰电具有移行性，常见的移行性峰电有５种类型，均与回肠无关系。     

Failure of (+)-naloxone to accelerate feline colonic transit

Summary To determine whether the colonic transit accelerating effect of (–)-naloxone (0.3 mg/kg, i.m.) is due to an action at opioid receptors or a direct pharmacologic effect, its enantiomer, (+)-naloxone (0.3 mg/kg, i.m.) was administered to cats and compared to saline control using colonic transit scintigraphy. Transit was not accelerated by (+)-naloxone. The effects of naloxone on colonic transit are thus stereospecific, and are probably mediated by opioid receptors.     

基于遍历基因组合的特征基因选取方法

特征基因的选取是非常热门的问题,在癌症是由某个或者某几个基因共同相互作用引起变异的假设下,从最简单的2个基因组合进行研究,遍历所有可能的基因组合,运用Logistic回归分类器,以预测精度和AIC准则为评价标准,对所有的模拟结果进行评价,得到最优基因组合（X55187,D14812）。同时运用交叉留一检验,验证了此基因组合建立模型的稳定性。最后又对预测精度大于90%的640对基因组合进行频数分析,并与已有文献进行比较,得到出现频率高的基因组合,预测精度并不一定高的结论。     

冒号与实义切分

实义切分是对连贯性话语进行超句分析的一种基本方法。它的表达手段除了词序和语调外，还有标点符号。本文就“冒号可作为实义切分补充表达手段”这一问题进行尝试性的研究，力求进一步完善实义切分理论。     

Increased mitochondrial palmitoylcarnitine/carnitine countertransport by flavone causes oxidative stress and apoptosis in colon cancer cells

Cancer cell metabolism is characterized by limited oxidative phosphorylation in order to minimize oxidative stress. We have previously shown that the flavonoid flavone in HT-29 colon cancer cells increases the uptake of pyruvate or lactate into mitochondria, which is followed by an increase in O₂^−.. production that finally leads to apoptosis. Similarly, a supply of palmitoylcarnitine in combination with carnitine induces apoptosis in HT-29 cells by increasing the mitochondrial respiration rate. Here we show that flavone-induced apoptosis is increased more than twofold in the presence of palmitoylcarnitine due to increased mitochondrial fatty acid transport and the subsequent metabolic generation of O₂^−. in mitochondria is the initiating factor for the execution of apoptosis.

癌胚抗原对直结肠偶发高代谢灶良恶性判断

探讨肿瘤标记物癌胚抗原(CEA)测定对~(18)F-FDG PET/CT发现直结肠FDG局灶性高代谢灶癌变判断的临床价值。回顾性分析56例意外探测到结直肠局灶性高摄取灶病例,同时行血清CEA测定,将肠镜及病理结果作为标准分组。各组血清CEA水平数据汇总后行单因素方差分析及计算血清CEA水平测定的诊断效率。结果表明:56例结肠局灶性高代谢病灶中,结肠镜及病理检查出结肠癌及腺瘤共43例,阳性预测值(PPV)为76.8%;其中直结肠癌26例,腺瘤17例,其余13例(23.2%)为炎性及生理性改变。结肠癌组、腺瘤组及良性病变组(炎性和生理性摄取)的血清CEA水平分别为(15.0±17.1)μg/mL,(2.23±0.96)μg/mL,(2.51±0.90)μg/mL,恶性病变组与腺瘤组及正常组之间具有显著性差异,F=8.277,P=0.001。结肠癌组与癌前病变组及生理及炎性组之间P值分别为0.001和0.001。血清CEA水平探测局灶性浓聚灶结肠癌变的敏感性、特异性和准确率分别为:84.6%、83%和83.9%。说明~(18)F-FDG PET/CT偶然发现结肠局灶性高摄取病灶中癌前病变和恶性病变阳性率很高,血清CEA水平对局灶性直结肠偶发FDG浓聚灶的恶变诊断具有高的诊断价值。
