Methods： The study included a retrospective series of 62 female patients with axillary lymph node-negative breast cancer. Expressions of PAl-1, C-erbB-2, VEGF and Ki-67 were determined by immunohistostaining on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections from these patients after a median follow-up of 69 months （range 22-117 months）. Correlations with well known clinicopathologic factors were assessed and multivariate survival analyses were performed. Results： High PAl-1 level was positively associated with high histologic grade of the tumors. Disease-free survival （DFS） was significantly shorter for the patients with moderate to intensive expression of PAl-1 than for those with negative （χ^2 = 25.46, P 〈 0.001; χ^2 = 23.07, P 〈 0.001） to mild expression （χ^2 = 19.75, P 〈 0.001; χ^2 = 17.40, P 〈 0.001）. Although on univariate analysis of the prognostic factors, tumor size, location of primary tumor and age as well as expressions of PAl-1, VEGF and Ki-67 were all significantly prognostic factors for DFS （P 〈 0.05）, PAl-1 was the only independent prognostic factor on multivariate analysis （P 〈 0.0001; hazard ratio [HR], 4.041; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.928-8.468）. Conclusion： These results of the current study indicate that intermediate or high expression of PAl-1 represents a strong and independent unfavorable prognostic factor for the development of recurrence or metastases in axillary node-negative breast cancer.展开更多

But so far there are no published studies describing how single indispensable amino acids and different carbohydrate to lipid ratios influence those systems. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate whether arginine （Arg） intake and carbohydrate to lipid ratios would affect expression of GH, IGF-Ⅰ and INS in largemouth bass.展开更多

The LRNA differential display was used to screen the transcript derived fragments （TDFs） related to salinity tolerance in tolerant and Loderately tolerant Pak-choi germplasm. Seventy-eight primer combinations generated 101 differential eDNA fragments, which ere divided into 10 expression types. Seven cDNA sequences （GenBank accession Nos. DQ006915-DQ006921） obtained and ,~quenced were highly homologous to some known expression genes or the genes related to the signaling pathways in plants under ifferent abiotic stress.展开更多
