Developing a diagnostic panel of sensitive and specific biomarkers for the early detection of CRC is recognised as to be crucial for early initial diagnosis, which in turn leads to better long term survival. Most of the research on novel potential CRC biomarkers in the last 2 decades has been focussed on stool DNA analysis. In this paper, we describe the recent advances in non-invasive CRC screening and more specifically in molecular assays for aberrantly methylated BMP3 and NDRG4 promoter regions. In several research papers these markers showed superior rates for sensitivity and specificity in comparison to previously described assays. These tests detected the majority of adenomas ≥ 1 cm in size and the detection rates progressively increased with larger adenomas. The methylation status of the BMP3 and NDRG4 promoters demonstrated effective detection of neoplasms at all sites throughout the colon and was not affected by common clinical variables. Recently, a multitarget stool DNA test consisting of molecular assays for aberrantly methylated BMP3 and NDRG4 promoter regions, mutant KRAS and immunochemical assay for human haemoglobin has been made commercially available and is currently reimbursed in the United States. Although this is the most sensitive noninvasive CRC screening test, there is the need for further research in several areas- establishment of the best timeframe for repeated DNA stool testing; validation of the results in populations outside of North America; usefulness for surveillance and prognosis of patients; cost-effectiveness of DNA stool testing in real-life populations.展开更多

In each case a BMP- 3-couted and an uncoated control-device were implanted into the femoral part of the putellofemoral joint of the right and left leg of 30 adult giant rabbits. Histomorphological and histomorphometrical we found in both groups with BMP- 3-coated test devices an improved osteointegrution. Stutistical evaluation using the t-test for matched samples showed 5 weeks after surgery a significant higher volume of tony formed bone of the BMP- 3-coated corundum- blasted or hydroxyapathe- coated Ti- 6Al- 4 V test devices compared to the non-couted controls of the same t）pe （p 〈 0.01, t-test for matched samples）. In both implant groups with BMP-couting a synergetic effect was verifiable although the bone ongrowth in the hydroxyaputite coated implants was more extensive than in the corundum blasted implants. Light microscopy demonstrated osteointegrution without connective tissue membrane around the surface of the implants. Our results indicate that composite metal implants,as used in endoprosthetics and implantology , are suitable carriers for BMP- 3 and im proved fixation of the implants can be achieved. The hydroxyapatite surface is superior to the corundum-blasted surface with regards to the observed parameters because of its pronounced bioactivity and its osteoconductive characteristics.展开更多

Methods: rhBMP 2 was added into the cultured fibroblasts with the concentration of 1 200 ng/ml. The expression of BMP 3 in fibroblasts was detected by immunohistochemistry. Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3 BMP 3 was transfected into the fibroblasts. After the effective expression of BMP 3 was identified, BMP 2 was also detected by immunohistochemistry in BMP 3 expression cells. The fibroblasts transfected with empty vector pcDNA3 were used as the control. Results: Exogenous rhBMP 2 could promote the expression of BMP 3 in fibroblasts. BMP 3 also could be detected in these cells.Conclusions: BMP 2 and BMP 3 could reciprocally adjust the expression in fibroblasts.展开更多
