Background: Nuclear mitotic apparatus protein 1 (NuMA1) had been reported to produce three groups of isoforms categorized as long, middle, and short groups, of which short NuMA displayed distinct localization patterns compared to long and middle isoforms. However, the function of short NuMA was not clear in the progress of cancer formation. This study aimed to unveil the role of short NuMA in cancer pathogenesis.

Introduction: Acrolein (2-propenal) is a reactive α, β-unsaturated aldehyde which causes a health hazard to humans. The present study focused on determining the protection offered by sulforaphane against acrolein-induced damage in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

Material And Methods: Acrolein-induced oxidative stress was determined through evaluating the levels of reactive oxygen species, protein carbonyl and sulfhydryl content, thiobarbituric acid reactive species, total oxidant status and antioxidant status (total antioxidant capacity, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase activity).

Purpose: To explore the expression of TPX2 and its significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissue and approach relationship between the TPX2 and clinicopathological characteristic of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Method: RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining were used to compare the expression of TPX2 in 62 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, 31 atypical hyperplasia and 62 normal esophageal mucosa.

Results: In ESCC, atypical hyperplasia and in normal mucous membrane tissues, the positive rate of TPX2 protein expression was 85.

Objective: To explore the relationship of HBV PreS1 antigen, anti-HBc IgM, DNA load and genotypes, and the significance for clinical diagnosis and prognostic.

Methods: Enzyme linked immune-sorbent assay was used to test the HBV serum markers of HB patients; HBV-DNA copies was detected by time fluorescence quantitative PCR; using nested PCR to amplify the S fragment of HBV genome, then sequence and make blast with HBV standard sequences to ascertain genotypes. Make comprehensive analysis of these indexes.
