[Study on EB virus infection, LMP1 and Bcl-2 expression in lung cancer patients].

Objective: To investigate the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, the expression of EBV latent membrane protein 1 ( LMPl) and oncogene bcl-2 in lung cancer patients.

Methods: EBERI in 108 cases of lung cancer were detected with in situ hybridization. EBV positive and negative lung cancer tissues were analysed for the expression of LMP1 and Bcl-2 by immnohistochemistry.

[Detection of Epstein-Barr virus in lung carcinoma tissue by in situ hybridization].

Objectives: To examine the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in primary lung carcinoma tissue, and to investigate the relationship between EBV infection and tumorigenesis of lung cancer.

Methods: Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded lung tissue specimens from surgically resected lung carcinoma tissues of 108 cases treated in Tanshan area from 2001 to 2006, which were confirmed further by histopathological examination after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, were used to observe the EBV encoded RNA-1 (EBER1) using in situ hybridization (ISH).

Results: EBER1 was detected in 36 of the 108 primary lung carcinoma cases, and in 1 of the 22 normal lung tissues.

[Effect of anthocyanin rich fruit extract on PGE2 produced by endothelial cells].

Objective: To study the effect of anthocyanin rich fruit extract on PGE2 produced by endothelial cells.

Methods: Normal human endothelial cells, CRL-2606, were cultured in F12K medium (complemented with 10% FBS, 0.1 mg/ml heparin, 0.
