The positive rates of Syndecan-1 and Heparanase-1 gene in esophageal cancer were 13.4% (9/67) and 85.1% (57/67).The expression of Syndecan-1 and Heparanase-1 genes was signifi cantly related to di. erentiation, depth of infi ltration, lymph node metastasis, vessel metastasis, and TNM stages of disease (P 〈 0.05). In an attempt to measure the association between the 2 agents, this study found that the expression of Syndecan-1 mRNA had a significantly negative correlation with the expression of Heparanase-1 mRNA by using Spearman rank correlation test (OR = -0.572, P 〈 0.001).CONCLUSION Syndecan-1 and Heparanase-1 play important roles in the invasion and metastasis of esophageal cancer. The reduction of Syndecan-1 and/or the increase of Heparanase-1 may influence the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors.Thus the combination assay of Syndecan-1 and Heparanase-1 may contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors.展开更多

Its optical properties were investigated with spectroscopies and the results showed that there were two emission-enhanced stages in the interaction between positive-charged PTPEPyH and negative-charged biomacromolecule heparin. The mechanism was very different due to the reduced non-radiative energy loss and the change of surroundings. The polyelectrolyte PTPEPyH, compared with ChS and HA, also showed high selectivity for heparin in the buffer solution and could be used as a potential bio-probe for heparin quantification in the clinical full range.展开更多
