Objective: To investigate the correlation between Pokemon gene and cisplatin mechanism.

Methods: Human lung adenocarcinoma cells of the lines A549 and AGZY83-a, human lung squamous carcinoma cells of the line HE-99, and human giant cell lung cancer cells of the line 95D were cultured and cisplatin was added into the medium. Other lung cancer cells of the above mentioned lines were cultured in the medium without cisplatin and were used as control groups.

Objective: To investigate the hypermethylation of the promoter region of RAS association domain family gene1A (RASSF1A) and its relationship with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods: Sixty-six patients with esophageal squamous carcinoma, 60 males and 6 females, aged 59 +/- 8 (44 - 76), underwent resection of the tumor. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was used to detect the hypermethylation of promoter region of RASSF1A in the carcinoma tissues and the adjacent normal tissues.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Ras association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) gene, a new tumor suppressor gene (TSG), on tumorigenesis of human esophageal carcinoma cells.

Methods: pcDNA3.1 (+)-RASSF1A, a plasmid containing RASSF1A gene, and the blank plasmid pcDNA3.

Background: Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) occurs at an early age and has a high disability rate. Unfortunately, confirmed diagnosis in most patients is done at a very late stage, when the patients have shown typical symptoms and signs, and when treatment does not produce any desirable effect. It has become urgent to find a method that would detect early bone diseases in HPT to obtain time for the ideal treatment.

Objective: To investigate the mRNA expression of the new tumor suppressor gene, RASSF1A, in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and its biological value.

Methods: Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of RASSF1A in the tumor tissues, tissues near tumor, and normal tissues, all obtained during operation, from 66 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Results: The deletion rates of RASSF1A mRNA expression were 42.
