Immunohistochemical staining for bcl-2, bax, GAS, SS was performed according to the standard streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase (S-P) method.According to the semi-quantitative integral evaluation, SS and GAS were divided into three groups as follows. Scores1-3 were defined as the low expression group, 4-8 as the intermediate expression group, 9-16 as the high expression group. Bax and bcl-2 protein expressions in different GAS and SS expression groups of large intestine carcinoma were assessed.RESULTS: The positive expression rate of bax had a prominent difference between SS and GAS high, intermediate and low expression groups (P＜0.05, x2ss = 9.246; P＜0.05,x2GAS = 6.981). The positive expression rate of bax in SS high (80.0%, 8/10) and intermediate (76.5%, 13/17)expression groups was higher than that in low expression group (40.0%, 14/35) (P＜0.05, x2high vs low = 5.242; P＜0.05,x2middle vs low = 6.097). The positive expression rate of bax in GAS high expression group (27.3%, 3/8) was lower than that in low expression group (69.4%, 25/36) (P＜0.05,x2 = 4.594). However, bax expression in GAS intermediate expression group (46.7%, 7/15) was lower than that in low expression group, but not statistically significant. The positive expression rate of bcl-2 had a prominent difference between SS and GAS high, intermediate and low expression groups (P＜0.05, x2ss = 7.178; P＜0.05, x2GAS = 13.831). The positive expression rate of bcl-2 in GAS high (90.9%, 10/11)and intermediate (86.7%, 13/15) expression groups was higher than that in low expression group (44.4%, 16/36)(P＜0.05,x2high vs low = 5.600; P＜0.05, x2 middle vs low = 7.695).However, the positive expression rate of bcl-2 in SS high (40.0%, 4/10) and intermediate (47.1%, 8/9) expression groups was lower than that in low expression group (77.1%, 27/35)(P＜0.05, x2 high vs low = 4.710; P＜0.05, x2 middle vs low = 4.706).There was a significant positive correlation between the integral ratio of GAS to SS and the integral of bcl-2 (P＜0.01,r=0.340). However, there was a negative correlation between the integral ratio of GAS to the SS and bax the integral of (P＜0.05, r = -0.299).CONCLUSION: The regulation and control of gastrin,somatostatin in cell apoptosis of large intestine carcinoma may be directly related to the abnormal expression of bcl-2, bax.展开更多

A semi-quantitative RT-PCR was applied to determine the levels of SS mRNA. The results indicated that: (1) The gastric SS mRNA expression was high at birth, followed by a significant decrease (P<0. 05) at 3 days of age in both breeds of pigs; (2) From 3 to 30 days of age, the expression of SS mRNA in gastric tissue exhibited remarkable up-regulation in both breeds, after which a strain difference in the developmental pattern was observed. In Erhualian pigs, SS mRNA expression reached a peak at 90 days of age, declined thereafter towards 180 days of age. In Large White pigs, however, the expression of SS mRNA remained constant from 30 days of age onwards; (3) In general, Erhualian pigs expressed higher levels of SS mRNA in gastric tissue compared with Large White pigs at the same age. The strain difference was significant from birth to 90 days of age, but vanished at 120 and 180 days of age. The results suggest that the gastric expression of SS in the pig is regulated following an instinct timetable in a strain-specific manner, its relationship with the development of gastric function as well as its interactions with environmental factors are to be elucidated.展开更多

Methods.AHNP in the rat was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the bile-pancreatic duct. Somatostatin octapeptide (SS-OP) (2μg/kg)was injected into the femoral vein imme- diately in rats of the treatment group after inductive AHNP. Rats of the sham operative group received in- jection of saline. Sixty animals of the AHNP and sham operative groups at the designated time(0. 2h, 0. 5 h, 2h, 4h, 8h, after the operation,six animals at each time point)and tweleve animals of treatment group at 4h after the operation were sacrificed for samples of pancreas, liver and lung. The expressions of TNF α mRNA within the pancreas, liver and lung were established by RT－PCR. Results. TNF α mRNA became detectable in the pancreas as early as 0. 2h after inductive AHNP, while it was undetectable in other organs until 0. 5h. Expression of TNF α mRNA in each tissue increased continuously and reached a peak at 4h,demonstrating a significant difference compared with that at 0. 5h and 8h. Expressions of TNF α mRNA from pancreas, liver and lung were decreased 50-80% in the treat- ment group, the pancreatic necrosis was also attenuated dramatically. Conclusion. TNF α mRNA was detectable in pancreas,liver and lung tissues at the early stage of AH- NP.SS-OP can significantly inhibit the expression of TNF α mRNA and attenuate the pancreatic necrosis. We feel that this may be an important mechanism of SS-OP in the treatment of AHNP.展开更多
