Objective To investigate the effect of integrin expression on procollagen synthesis of fibroblasts in wound healing. Methods Antisense oligonucleotides were used to intercept the expression of integrin ? 5 or ? 1 subunit on fibroblasts respectively in wound healing, then the changes of procollagen mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results The antisense oligoncleotdes could specifically inhibit the expression of integrin subunit. Decreased expression of integrin?5 or ?1 subunit on fibroblasts significantly lowered mRNA of procollagen ? 1(Ⅰ) and ? 1(Ⅲ). Conclusion Reduction of integrin expression on fibroblasts in wound may inhibit procollagen synthesis in the level of transcription. These results provide the experimental gists on studying of scar reduction in wound healing.

Objective:To study the neural and vascular distribution in the triceps surae of rabbits for reconstructing the muscles of motor function.Methods: Triceps surae on one side was stained with the standard method of Sihler’s nerve staining, and the blood vessels on the other side were injected with a mixture of 30% barium sulfate and gelatin, and then they were X-photographed. The resulting pictures were compared to study the intramuscular nerve and blood vessel distribution. Results: Tricep surae on the first side became transparent or semi-transparent, and its shape kept intact after being stained. The intramuscular nerve branches were clearly visualized after being stained. The muscle was divided into 3 neuromuscular compartments and Lateral gastrocnemius (LG) was subdivided into 3 subunits. The intramuscular vascular configuration on the other side was also clear on soft X-ray films. The distribution maps of the nerves and blood vessels were grossly consistent.Conclusion: Sihler’s nerve staining is able to show the original 3-dimensional picture of the intramuscular nerve branches in the triceps surae of rabbits and can be used to observe the relation between the blood vessels and nerves in the muscle in combination with intramuscular angiography. According to the neurovascular distribution, tricep surae of rabbits can be divided into different subunits (compartments) as independent function units. The design and application of the subunit as a compartment can meet the need of muscular function after transplantation.

Objective To analyze CT manifestations of chest wall Askin tumor and to illustrate its CT diagnostic and differentially diagnostic key points.Methods Eleven cases of chest wall Askin tumors were pathologically confirmed in our hospital between May 2006 and November 2014.Of them,10 cases were children and adolescents,and 9 cases had chest pain as the first symptom.All patients received plain CT scan,while 7 cases received contrast enhanced scan.CT signs of this group were retrospectively analyzed,including the location,quantity,shape,size,density,adjacent tissue invasion and distant metastasis of the tumors.Results CT examination showed a single oval mass on the chest wall in all 11 cases.The tumor was located completely within the thoracic cavity in 10 cases,while a tumor's main part was within thoracic cavity.Nine tumors had long diameters of more than 9 cm.All the tumors were heterogeneous without calcification,wherein 10 cases showed necrosis and cystic degeneration.On contrast enhanced scan,7 cases showed heterogeneously mild to moderate enhancement.All tumors invaded adjacent tissues,including 7 cases of bone damage of a single rib,and 7 cases of pleural involvement,wherein 6 cases had pleural effusion.No remote metastases were found in this group.Conclusions CT manifestations of Askin tumors of chest wall have some characteristics,and familiarity with these manifestations is conducive to diagnosis and differential diagnosis of this disease.

Background The diseases of neuro-ophthalmology are common,which can influence the quality of patients' life seriously.The 39-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-39) is an instrument to assess self-reported visual impairment in studies of vision.However,until now,no studies have been performed to specifically assess the vision-related quality of life in persons with diseases of neuro-ophthalmology.Objective To evaluate vision-related quality of life for neuro-ophthalmology inpatients through the NEI VFQ-39,for the better treatment and nursing for them.Methods Ninety-seven neuro-ophthalmology inpatients were scheduled in research from June 1 to September 30,2012,and we collected all the clinical datas and the Chinese version NEI VFQ-39.The NEI VFQ-39 subscale item scores were compared among subgroups divided by monocular or binocular incidence,diseases and best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),and correlation analysis of the NEI VFQ-39 scores and BCVA for better-seeing and worse-seeing eyes was performed.Results The mean age of scheduled patients was (36.6±14.4)years,with no difference in gender.The mean composite score of VFQ-39 was 57.36(46.50,73.38),mental health subscale score was lowest [45.00 (35.00,60.00)].In the four eye diseases groups,except for eye pains,degree of dependence,periphery vision,anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) group had lower scores compared with the other three groups,but there were no statistical significances among the four groups (all at P＞0.05).Except for eye pains,patients with monocular incidence had better scores than those with binocular incidence,with statistical significant significances between them(all at P＜0.05).Patients with BCVA in the better-seeing eye ＞ 20/32 had better scores than the other two groups,compared with the BCVA in the better-seeing eye ＜20/200 group,except for overall health and eye pains,cornpared with the 20/200 ≤ BCVA in the better-seeing eye ＜20/23 group,except for eye pains,social activity and color vision,and the rest subscale scores had significant differences among the three groups(all at P＜0.05).NEI VFQ-39 scores had positive correlations with the BCVA for better-seeing and worse-seeing eyes,and had strong correlations with the BCVA for better-seeing.Conclusions Neuro-ophthalmology diseases have serious influences on patients' visual function and quality of life.The quality of life has direct correlation with BCVA,so improving their visual function is helpful to their quality of life.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of aspirin on liver metastasis of colon cancer in mice and the possible mechanism.Methods A total of 32 BALB/C mice were injected with CT26 colorectal cancer cells to establish colon cancer liver metastatic model,with 3 mice dead,15 mice in control group and 14 mice in experimental group.The control group was given saline 0.2 mL/d,the experimental group were given aspirin 30 mg/kg.The liver weight and the number of metastatic tumors were calculated after 30 days of intervention.HE and CD31 staining was performed by immunohistochemistry to observe the metastasis and angiogenesis.The protein expression of VEGF and cox-2 were analyzed by Western blot.Results The average liver weight and number of liver metastases nodules in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Pathological examination showed that the experimental group of mice the number of liver cells and liver tumor angiogenesis were significantly less than the control group(P<0.05).Western blot showed that the expression of VEGF and cox-2 of CT26 cells were down-regulated after treated with aspirin.Conclusion Aspirin can down regulate the protein expression of VEGF and cox-2 protein to inhibit liver metastasis of colon tumor proliferation and angiogenesis,thereby inhibiting metastasis of colon cancer cells,for therapeutic purposes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibitity of detecting S100A6 expression at mRNA level in endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) specimens and its diagnostic value in PDA.MethodsA total of 18 PDA specimens and 22 normal pancreatic specimens were collected. RNA was extracted for reverse transcription.The expression of S100A6 gene was examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The cut-off value of S100A6 expression at mRNA level in PDA diagnosis was established through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. 28 patients with pancreatic head masses were selected for EUS-FNA examination,and the value of S100A6 mRNA expression level in PDA diagnosis was prospectively evaluated. The expression of S100A6 protein in PDA tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry staining.ResultsS100A6 mRNA expression in EUS-FNA and surgical PDA specimens (0.05023±0.10120,0.02083 ± 0.02848) was significantly higher than that of normal pancreatic tissues (0.00164±0.00202),both P＜0.01.The expression of S100A6 in 22 EUS-FNA PDA specimens was significantly higher than that of 6 pancreatic benign disease biopsy specimens (0.00193 ± 0.00278,P =0.0009). There was no significant difference in S100A6 expression between 6 pancreatic benign disease biopsy specimens and normal surgical pancreatic samples (P=0.6143).When S100A6 mRNA expression in EUS-FNA specimens over 0.00525 was taken as positive diagnostic value,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in prospective pancreatic cancer diagnosis were 90.01％,100 ％ and 92.85 ％,respectively.ConclusionThe high expression of S100A6 mRNA in EUS-FNA specimens of PDA has good preoperative diagnostic value.
