Methods Total mRNA was isolated from DPCs of anagen and telogen follicles. Moreover, single-strand (ss) and double-strand (ds) cDNAs were synthesized in turn using SMART PCR cDNA synthesis technology. ds cDNAs then were digested with Rsa I and divided into two groups, and ligated to the specific adaptor 1 and adaptor 2R, respect ively. After cDNAs were hybridized with each other twice and underwent two rounds of nested PCR. PCR products were ligated with arms of T/A plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive library. Selected clones were demonstrated by reverse Northern blot and sequenced. The acquired sequence data were aligned against the Genbank nucleotide database. Results cDNA subtractive library of DPCs in anagen follicles was set up successfully with high subtractive efficiency. Thirty-five genes were identified in this study with 22 known functional genes and 13 unknown functional genes. Conclusions All results confirm the effectiveness and sensitivity of SSH in detecting differentially expressed genes from a small amount of clinical samples. Information about such alterations in gene expression could be useful for elucidating the genetic events in hair follicle growth regulation.展开更多

Of these, 33 patients un- derwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy for RGC. Regarding the initial gastric disease, there were 19 patients with benign disease and 14 patients with gas- tric cancer. The hospital records of these patients were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Concerning the initial gastric disease, the RGC group following gastric cancer had a shorter in- terval [P 〈 0.05; gastric cancer vs benign disease: 12 (2-22) vs 30 (4-51) years] and were more frequently reconstructed by Billroth- I procedure than those fol- lowing benign lesions (P 〈 0.001). Regarding recon- struction, RGC following Billroth-]_l reconstruction showed a longer interval between surgical procedures [P 〈 0.001; Billroth-11 vs Billroth- I : 32 (5-51) vs 12 (2-36) years] and tumors were more frequently associated with benign disease (P 〈 0.001) than those following Billroth- I reconstruction. In tumor location of RGC, after Billroth- I reconstruction, RGC occurred more fre- quently near the suture line and remnant gastric wall. After Billroth- 1I reconstruction, RGC occurred more fre- quently at the anastomotic site. The duration of follow- up was significantly associated with the stage of RGC (P 〈 0.05). Patients diagnosed with early stage RGC such as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ tended to have been followed up almost every second year. CONCLUSION: Meticulous follow-up examination and early detection of RGC might lead to a better prognosis. Based on the initial gastric disease and the procedure of reconstruction, an appropriate follow-up interval and programs might enable early detection of RGC.展开更多
