Objectives: HOXA5 has been identified as a biomarker in pathogenesis of several cancers, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer cells. The role has not been explored in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC).
Methods: Tissues of 120 cases with CSCC and 30 controls with chronic cervicitis were constructed from our archived surgical pathology files and staining with HOXA5.
Objective: To investigate the effects of angrographolide on plasma glucose level of diabetic rats and its molecular mechanism.
Methods: The diabetic model rats were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg). Diabetic rats were treated with angrographolide for 2 weeks, then the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum were examined and the expressions of Bcl-2 and Box gene of pancreatic cells were detected.
Objective: To investigate the expression and the role of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the testis and epididymis of macaca fascicularis.
Methods: The immunohistochemical ABC method was used to observe the localization of nitric oxide synthase in the testis and epididymis of the macaca fascicularis.
Results: (1) nNOS immunoreactivity was found in the spermatogenic cells of seminiferous tubules, the epithelia of epididymal efferent ducts, sperm and the endothelia of blood vessels; (2) iNOS was expressed in the epididymal efferent duct, the sperm inside the duct, and the myoid cells and endothelia of blood vessels; (3) eNOS immunoreactivity was detected in the interstitial cells of the testis, the epididymal efferent duct, the sperm inside the duct, and the myoid cells and endothelia of blood vessels.
