Objective: To evaluate the inhibition of human endostatin on tumor growth and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma LA795 in mice. Methods: Recombinant human endostatin was purified from pCX expressed endostatin clones. Plasminogen was purified from outdated human plasma by affinity chromatography, and human angiostatin was produced from human plasminogen digested by elastase and purified by affinity chromatography. LA795 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the dorsa of T739 mice, and the mice were randomized into 3 groups. From the 1Oth day, the first group was given 20 mg/kg of recombinant human endostatin s.c. qd, the second was treated daily s. c. of 7.5 mg/kg of human angiostatin, and the third group received daily s.c. with equal volumes of PBS for 14 days. Volumes of the subcutaneous tumors, lung weights, the number of lung surface metastases and mice life span were observed. The results were analyzed by q-test. Results: The tumor volumes of both the 1 st and the 2nd groups increased slowly. From the 8th day after being treated, the tumor volumes were decreasing. However, in the 3rd group, the tumor volumes increased continuously. The lung weight and the number of lung surface metastases of the 1st and 2nd groups were less than that of the 3rd group. The average survival periods of the 1st and 2nd groups were longer than that of the 3rd group. Conclusion: Human endostatin and angiostatin have strong inhibitory effects both on growth of primary tumor and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma LA795, and prolongs the survival period of the tumor-bearing mice.

Objective To explore the expression of osteopontin (OPN) in mucosal epithelium of oral local lesion in patients with oral lichen planus(OLP). Methods Forty patients with pathologically-confirmed OLP (erosive OLP,n=15; reticular OLP,n=25) were investigated,among whom 17 were complicated with mild dysplasia. Mucosal epithelium of oral local lesion was examined for the expression of OPN by immunohistochemical method. Forty healthy subjects were served as normal controls. Results The positive expression rates of OPN were 65.4% and 82.4%,respectively in patients with OLP and those complicated with mild dysplasia,and both were significantly higher than that in normal controls (10.0%) (P0.05),while both were significantly higher than that in normal controls (P

Objective : To study the effect of modified holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) on sexual function in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods ¡¤ The clinical data of 167 middle-aged and elderly patients with BPH treated by modified HoLEP from Feb. 2017 to Oct. 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the status of sexual activity after operation, the patients were divided into study group who had sex (65 cases) and control group who had no sex (102 cases). The risk factors of sexual activity after operation in the two groups were analyzed. The changes of erectile function and ejaculatory function in the study group before and after operation were recorded and analyzed by international index of erectile function (IIEF-5) score, erection hardness score (EHS) model and ejaculatory function question-naire. Results ¡¤ There were no significant differences between the two groups in the stress urinary incontinence, postoperative hospitalization time, weight of enucleated prostate, crush time, total prostate specific antigen, preoperative urinary retention and enucleation time. The patients in the study group were younger than those in the control group (P=0.000). There were no significant differences in IIEF-5 score and EHS in the study group before and 1, 3, 6 months after operation. There were no significant differences in shorten ejaculation latency, ejaculation pain and ejaculation with or without semen in the study group before and after operation, but the patients of decreased semen volume increased from 41.82% (23/55) to 92.73% (51/55) (P=0.000). Conclusion ¡¤ Age is a risk factor in BPH patients, whether there is sexual activity after modified HoLEP or not. The modified HoLEP has no significant effect on erectile function, but the effect on ejaculatory function is the decrease of ejacu-lated semen volume.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical effects of internal fixation in treating displaced clavicle fracture combined with coracoid process.

METHODSFrom January 2005 to July 2012, 9 patients with displaced clavicle fracture combined with coracoid process were treated by internal fixation. Among them, there were 6 males and 3 females with an average age of 40.1 (ranged from 20 to 57) years old. According to Eyres classification: 3 cases were type II B, 1 case was type II A, 3 cases were type III B, and 2 cases were type V A. All patients had history of injury, and diagnosed as coracoid fracture X-ray and CT before operation. Herscovici criteria was used to evaluate function of shoulders joint after operation.

RESULTSSeven of 9 patients were followed up from 6 to 18 (averaged 11) months. The incisions were healed at stage I, coracoid process obtained bony healing, and reduction of acromioclavicular joint well. According to Herscovici criteria, 6 patients got excellent results and 1 in good.

CONCLUSIONInternal fixation for the treatment of displaced clavicle fracture combined with coracoid process could restore physiological anatomical position of coracoid process, and benefit for recovery of limb function.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and effectiveness of transcatheter implantation of double-ring aortic valve stent through puncturing the tip of the heart under thoracotomy.Methods A novel double-ring aortic valve stent was independently designed by the authors.Three healthy goats were selected for this study.A small incision on the left anterolateral thoracic wall was made to expose the cardiac apex,than the puncturing of the left ventricular apex was performed to establish the working pathway.Guided by fluoroscopy,along a hard guide wire a double-ring aortic valve stent was inserted through a 22-French sheath to the site above the aortic valve.By utilizing the opened outer ring of the stent,the double-ring aortic valve stent was accurately placed at the bottom of the aortic valve sinus.Then,the balloon was inflated and the stent was released to substitute the original aortic valve of the experimental goat.The experiment results were evaluated immediately after the procedure.Results Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was successfully accomplished in all the three experimental goats.DSA was performed immediately after the procedure and anatomy evaluation indicated that the position of the implanted artificial aortic valve was satisfactory,which could replace the work of original valve.Conclusion It is technically feasible and clinically effective to use this novel double-ring aortic valve stent to perform TAVI through transapical route by puncturing the left ventricular apex.

In order to study the feasibility of E2 gene fragment of hepatitis virus G(HGV) as a component of DNA vaccine against the hepatitis virus G infection, a 559bp DNA fragment encoding HGV E2 was cloned into plasmid pCMV-S from pThioHis-E2 in the same reading frame with HBsAg gene to form a recombinant plasmid named pCMV-S-E2. BALB/c mice of Kunming strain were immunized with purified plasmid DNA of pCMV-S-E2 by intra-muscularly inoculation. The immunizations were boosted twice at an interval of 14 days. The whole blood was collected from mice orbit on the day-8 after the last boost. Mice sera were screened by ELISA to determine the humoral immune response using E2-GST fusion protein as the immobilized antigen and the sera from mice immunized with pCMV-S as control. The result indicated that the immunization with plasmid DNA of pCMV-S-E2 could induce quite strong humoral immune response.

OBJECTIVETo introduce a new procedure of laparoscopic adrenal surgery.

METHODSThirty patients with adrenal disease underwent surgery by a 70 degrees lateral decubital trans-abdominal laparoscopic approach, which wa compared with 30 degrees decubital laparoscopic operation in 26 patients.

RESULTSThe procedure is superior to open laparotomy. There was significant difference in average operative time (77.2 min vs. 215.7 min), blood lost volume (27.0 ml vs. 94.5 ml), and postoperative complications (13.3% vs. 46.0%). Postoperative feeding time and hospitalization time were shortened markedly.

CONCLUSIONSThis modified technique is safe, straightforward, with a good anatomic view during operation. It could be widely adopted for the treatment of benign adrenal disease, especially pheochromocytoma.

AIMTo investigate the effect of resveratrol on EMMPRIN expression of macrophages.

METHODSHuman monocytic cell line THP-1 cells were co-cultured with EMMPRIN-highly-expressed MCF-7 cells; MMP-9 production was assayed by zymography. THP-1 cells were induced by PMA, expression of EMMPRIN was assayed by Western blotting. Cells were treated with resveratrol or PPARgamma agonist--pioglitazone during differentiation, EMMPRIN expression and MMP-9 activity were assayed. U937 cells were co-transfected with PPARy expression and luciferase-coding reporter vector, then cultured with pioglitazone or resveratrol, the activating capability of resveratrol on PPARgamma was evaluated by measuring the luciferase activity. THP-1 cells were pretreated with PPARgamma antagonist--GW9662 before pioglitazone or resveratrol treatment, then assayed for EMMPRIN expression and MMP-9 production.

RESULTSEMMPRIN expression was greatly increased during the differentiation from monocytes to macrophages; co-culturing with MCF-7 cells significantly increased MMP-9 production by monocytes. Both resveratrol and pioglitazone markedly inhibited EMMPRIN expression during monocytes differentiation. Resveratrol significantly activated PPARgamma and GW9662 greatly decreased the effect of resveratrol on EMMPRIN and MMP-9.

CONCLUSIONEMMPRIN expression is greatly up-regulated from monocytes to macrophages, which may play a role in inducing MMPs production by monocytes/macrophages. Resveratrol can significantly inhibit EMMPRIN expression via activating PPARgamma, which may be the underlying mechanism of its inhibitory effect on MMPs production by monocytes/macrophages.
