Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2001;8(1):54-55
Objective To introduce the surgical technique and results of total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer. Methods Reviews.Results As a result of TME, local recurrence rates have declined from 20%-30% to 3%-8%, 5-year survival rate have risen to 75%, and the rates of sphincter preservation have risen too.Conclusion Total mesorectal excision reduces the local recurrence rates and raise the survival figures after excision of rectal cancer. Patients have a high quality of life.

Sal-like 4 (SALL4) plays an important role in promoting the cellular proliferation and maintaining the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells and tumor cells.In fully differentiated cells,the expression of SALL4 is silenced or down-regulated.However,the expression of SALL4 is found to be restored or up-regulated in a variety of non-germ cell tumors.Besides,the expression of SALL4 is often associated with disease progression,treatment effect and prognosis.Therefore,examining the expression level of SALL4 will be of great importance in the diagnosis of disease and monitoring the disease progression for non-germ cell tumors.

BACKGROUND: Microcarrier culture technology has become a new and large scale cell culture technology. It has been mainly used in the amplification research of tissue engineering seed cells. Microcarder possesses the advantage of larger surface area and plays an essential role in microcarrier culture technology.OBJECTIVE: To sum up the biomaterials and methods of microcarrier preparation, and provide theoretical foundation for the study of microcarrier culture technology and tissue engineering.METHODS: Articles were retrieved from PubMed, Wanfang, and VIP databases with the key words of "micrecarrier, biomaterials cell culture, tissue englneering" in both English and Chinese between 1967/2009 and 1990/2009, respectively. Inclusion criteria:study addressing microcarrier materials, preparation, and performance; study of microcerrier cell culture; animal experiments and clinical applications. A total of 34 articles were originally retrieved based on their titles and abstracts.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Although a lot of studies have reported research and preparation of microcarrier, clinical application remains still difficult. Recently, varying materials will be made into novel compound materials by new technology,which can adjust mechanics and biodegredation of microcarder via surface modification.

AIM: To evaluate the blood compatibility of a new bioartificial reactor membranous material (propylene-acidamide grafted poly propylene membrane, PP-g-AAm) in vitro. METHODS: Contacted PP-g-AAm membrane and PP (polypropylene) memb rane with platelet-rich plasma in a swing bed, 37 ℃, to simulate the conditions in vivo, and another group of PRP without any membranes was set as control group. ELISA was used to study the expression of ?-thromboglobulin, and flow cy tometry was used to study CD62P and CD63 expressio n of the activated blood platelets after contacting the two kinds of membranes w ith PRP. Scanning electrical microscopy was used to study the configuration and numbers of platelet cells adhered on the membranes. RESULTS: After contacting with PRP 30 min, ?-TG expression show ed marked difference between the two kinds of material groups and the control gr oup (P

BACKGROUND:Studies have testified that nano-ultrasound contrast agents have a strong permeability, making it possible to image the targeted tissues outside blood vessels and overcome the limitation that micron contrast agents are only available for the blood pool imaging. OBJECTIVE:To construct the folate-modified nanoparticles targeting breast cancer as ultrasound contrast agents, as wel as to observe their ability to specifical y bind to cel s and imaging effect in vitro. METHODS:Both contrast agents, pegylated lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer wrapping liquid fluorocarbon formed nanoparticles (mPP/PFOB) and folate modified pegylated lactic acid-glycolic acid wrapping liquid fluorocarbon formed nanoparticles (mPPF/PFOB), were constructed by phacoemulsification-evaporation method. (1)Biocompatibility detection:HFF-1 and MCF-7 cel s in the logarithmic phase were cultivated with various concentrations (0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 1 g/L) of mPP/PFOB or mPPF/PFOB for 24 hours respectively, and then the cel viability was measured. (2)Targeting ability detection in vitro:HFF-1 and MCF-7 cel s in the logarithmic phase were divided into three groups. Cy5-labled mPP/PFOB and mPPF/PFOB were added into groups A and B, respectively;the cel s in group C were pretreated with folate for 2 hours, and sequential y Cy5-labled mPPF/PFOB was added into group C. Fluorescence intensity was detected by flow cytometry after 0.5 hours of culture. The distribution of contrast agents in cel s was observed using confocal microscopy after 20 minutes of culture. (3)Ultrasound imaging in vitro:there were three groups:saline was as group A;the suspension of saline and mPPF/PFOB nanoparticles was prepared as group B;MCF-7 cel s were resuspended with the mixture of saline and mPPF/PFOB nanoparticles to prepare the suspension of nanoparticles and cel s as group C. In each group, the suspension was added into latex gloves, that were then tightened and immersed in water. Final y, the ultrasound was use to detect the ultrasound imaging effect in vitro. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Neither nanoparticles were with significant cytotoxicity. The flow cytometry showed that the mean fluorescence intensity in MCF-7 cel s of group B was significantly higher than that of groups A and C. But there were no significant differences in the mean fluorescence intensity in HFF-1 cel s among the three groups. It was observed that mPPF/PFOB mainly gathered around the MCF-7 cel membrane, while mPP/PFOB randomly distributed in the cytoplasm. After mPPF/PFOB binding to MCF-7 cel s, they could enhance ultrasound echo in vitro. These findings indicate that the targeted nanoparticles mPPF/PFOB have good biocompatibility and can specifical y bind to breast cancer MCF-7 cel s in vitro and enhance the imaging capability.
