Pancreatic cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and there is an urgent need to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to reduce the mortality of patients with this disease. In pancreatic cancer, some tight junction proteins, including claudins, are abnormally regulated and therefore are promising molecular targets for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. Claudin-4 and-18 are overexpressed in human pancreatic cancer and its precursor lesions. Claudin-4 is a high affinity receptor of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin(CPE). The cytotoxic effects of CPE and monoclonal antibodies against claudin-4 are useful as novel therapeutic tools for pancreatic cancer. Claudin-18 could be a putative marker and therapeutic target with prognostic implications for patients with pancreatic cancer. Claudin-1,-7, tricellulin and marvelD3 are involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition(EMT) of pancreatic cancer cells and thus might be useful as biomarkers during disease. Protein kinase C is closely related to EMT of pancreatic cancer and regulates tight junctions of normal human pancreatic duct epithelial cells and the cancer cells. This review focuses on the regulation of tight junctions via protein kinase C during EMT in human pancreatic cancer for the purpose of developing new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for pancreatic cancer.

摘要:戏剧表演与舞蹈表演在塑造形象的表达形态上,最大的共同点就是将人的身体作为表演载体,以塑造人物形象为目标。在舞蹈表演教学中引入戏剧表演“角色代入”的理念,可以帮助学生准确地抓住形象特征、表达内心情感,从而易于学生理解人物形象,融入作品情感,领会动作设计的含义,准确表达作品的精神内涵。  关键词:舞蹈表演 角色代入 人物塑造  众所周知,一个优秀的舞蹈剧目呈现在观众面前时,除了演员精湛的技艺、优
摘要:河北梆子是一种传承悠久的艺术形式,其起伏跌宕的唱腔与铿锵有力的伴奏形式,深受广大戏曲票友的喜爱。本文将简要介绍河北梆子艺术的发展,阐述河北梆子的演唱特色及发声技巧,以期为同行业内交流做参考。  关键词:河北梆子 演唱特色 发声技巧  河北梆子历经一百多年的变革,经过多代艺术界学者的改革创新,拥有不同的演唱风格,发展成为独特的不同流派。如何学习河北梆子的演唱特色,成为当代人传承传统艺术的主要问
摘要:所有的艺术作品都是作者心中情感和思想的表达,而不管用什么样的表现形式,最终都要表达出作者的思想情感。在绘画作品中,作者对其中的形象与符号进行主观组合来完成意图的表达,而构图是绘画作品的主要手段。当艺术家要表现特定的思想和情感时,在一定的框架内,运用特定的安排来处理各个形象之间的位置关系,将各个部分组成连贯的整体。  关键词:绘画形式 题材 语言  一、绘画形式  自然界中的一切事物都是按照自
摘要:本文将通过研究中国艺术史上国画发展至今的“意境”表现,探讨“静”“雅”“清”“逸”的意境与情感。在此基础上,简要探讨中国画中的“静雅清逸”在画面上的表现。  关键词:意境 “静雅清逸 ”中国画 艺术  一、引言  什么是“意境”?陶渊明有两句诗说得好:“此中有真意,欲辩已忘言。”也就是说,中国画中的这种意境实际上是生活中的一种生活情感。通体皆虚、虚中有实,是意境成为画境的表现,画境就是个人感
