Objective To investigate the effect of non-restrictive external stent on both cell proliferation of rabbit vein grafts and prevention from hyperplasia of the grafts' neointima. Methods 36 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, each animal was subjected to a reversed autologous venous graft between external jugular vein and common carotid artery. In stenting group (group S), the vein grafts were surrounded by a 6 mm in diameter non-restrictive stent, and in non-stenting group (group NS), there is no stent to support the vein grafts. The grafts were harvested 1 week (1W), 2 weeks (2W) and 4 weeks (4W) after surgery, respectively. The sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain, ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunocytochemistry stain. PCNA index was calculated in intima, media and adventitia, respectively. Results (1) HE staining: From 1W to 4W, the hyperplasia of intima and media appeared gradually in both group S and group NS, nevertheless such hyperplasia in group S was lessintense than in group NS. (2) ?-SMA staining: Almost all cells in media were positive, but few cells were positive in intima of both groups at 1W; the thickness of intima of both groups increased gradually, and almost all cells except endothelial cells were positive in intima in both groups, though the thickness of intima of group S was smaller than in group NS at 2W and 4W. (3) PCNA index: the index of intima in both two groups peaked at 2W, and the index of intima in group S was less than in group NS at 2W and 4W, P

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical expression in 8 cases with synchronous occurrence of digestive tract cancer and GIST. Methods Clinical and pathologic data of 8 out of 70 cases of GIST coexisted with gastrointestinal cancer were recorded, and immunohistochemical stain ( Envision method) was used to detect the expressions of CD117, CD34 ,Vimenlin etc. Results In 8 cases of GIST (4 benign, 3 borderline, 1 malignant) coexisted with GI carcinoma, of which 6 cases featured the simultaneous occurrence of GIST and adenocarcinomas (5 cases in slomach and 1 case in colon) , whereas the other 2 cases associated with squamus cell carcinoma of esophagus. In 4 cases, tumors arose from the same organ, in the other 4 cases they developed from different sites of digestive tract. In all of the cases two kinds of neoplasms were developed in different areas without any connection, preoperative endoscopy and biopsy showed adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinoma, but histologic and clinical diagnosis of coexisted tumors were not achieved in any case. All GIST expressed Vimentin and CD34; 7 cases expressed CD117; 2 cases were focally positive for S-100 protein and 1 each for SMA and Desmin. Conclusion The simultaneous occurrence of epithelial tumor and GIST in digestive tract is not less than that usually expected, in clinical practice we should pay much attention on the diagnosis of this entity. Endoscopic biopsy conjugated with profound inspection during operation and pathological examination of specimen postoperatively can improve the possibility of early diagnosis.

Objective To study the inlfuence factors on detection of activity of four coagulation factors in prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) by several factors. Methods Using Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China (2010) as reference, the activity of four coagulation factors in PCC were investigated by choosing different pre-treatments, different diluents, different salt concentration, different standard human plasma and different company reagents. Results The activity of FII, FVII, FX were decreased and FIX was increased in the condition of adding protamine sulfate, and there were no differences of four coagulation factors whether warm bath in 37 for 15 min or not. However, the differences of four coagulation factors were significant by using deficient plasma, saline, distilled water and commercial dilution buffer(P<0.05). The activity of coagulation factor II, X in 1 mol/L salt concentration of PCC were significantly lower than in 0.25 mol/L(P<0.05), while coagulation factor VII, IX were not. The activity of FII, FVII, FIX, and FX were different by using different standard human plasma to make standard curve. The activity of four coagulation factors existed significant difference(P=0.00) by using SIEMENS company reagents and domestic reagents. Conclusion Choosing different pre-treatments, different dilution buffers, salt concentration, standard human plasma and commercial kits will inlfuence the detection result of coagulation factors.

Objective To investigate the relationship of attentional orientation,sensory disorder or magnitude estimation with cross-over effect in the line bisection of hemispatial neglect patients and to evaluate the influences of the length of lines and cueing on the performance of line bisection of neglect patients.Methods Fifteen patients with hemispatial neglect and 15 age and education-level-matched healthy controls underwent line bisection experiment.in which difierent types of cues and difierent length of bisected lines were given to observe their effects on the deviation.Analyses of variance (ANOVAs)were used to analyze the data in each group.Results When the lengths of lines were 4,6,8,10,12 cm,percentages of line bisection deviation(%)without cue were-5.71±5.13,-2.48±8.83,-1.18±10.90.0.43±8.12,2.17±7.04 respectively.The experiment showed that deviation was related to the length of lines ( F=12.5,P＜0.01).Nine patients exhibited cross-over effect when the lines were shorter than 10 cm.Another interesting result was that ipsilesional cues led to a reduction in bisection errors ( percentages of line bisection deviation(%)were-3.93±7.04,2.43±6.34,4.93±5.19,6.49±3.36,6.38±4.18,P＜0.01),however,contralesional ones resulted in a reverse effect(percentages of bisection deviation(%)were-10.93±8.85,-7.95±8.44,-4.14±8.37,-2.60±9.96,-1.57±10.67,P=0.03).As for bilateral cues,both cueing had no influence on line bisection(percentages of bisection deviation(%)were -5.93±7.76,-0.52±8.20,0.54±6.34.2.57±5.02,2.79±3.92,P=0.35).The length of cues had no influence on line bisection(F=1.94.P=0.1 4).Condusions The subjective midpoint excurses toward left when the length of line is relatively short.which is referred as crossover effect.indicating magnitude estimation a factor of crossover effect.Unilateral cues affects the performance of line dissection of neglect patients.which may be accounted for attentional orientational biases.No effect of the cue length suggested sensory disorder does not play a role in the crossover effect.

Background and purpose:Chemotherapy is the important way of breast cancer treatment, but the drug-resistance has attracted special attention. The emergence of drug resistance is closely related to the abnormal enhancement of DNA-damage repair. Both Kif4A and PARP-1 are important molecules of DNA repair. The research investigated the function of Kif4A in epirubicin up-regulating the activity of PARP-1 in breast cancer cells and possible significance. Methods:Western blot was used to detect the expression of Kif4A and PARP-1 after treatment with epirubicin in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells; the expression of PARP-1 and its activity were detected after high expression of Kif4A and treatment with epirubicin;FCM was used to detect cell apoptosis after treatment with epirubicin combined with PARP-1 inhibitor 3-ABA. Results:Epirubicin up-regulated PARP-1 activity and induced low expression of Kif4A in breast cancer cells, both of them showed dose-dependent and time-dependent. After high expression of Kif4A, the activity of PARP-1 was inhibited and the apoptosis of cells increased, epirubicin partially reversed the activity of PARP-1 inhibited by high Kif4A expression. Both of epirubicin and 3-ABA induced cell apoptosis, combination of them further increased cell apoptosis compared with alone used (P<0.05). The results also showed the apoptosis rate of MDA-MB-231 cells induced by epirubicin, PARP-1 inhibitor 3-ABA and high expression Kif4A was higher than that of MCF-7 cells (P<0.05). Conclusion:Epirubicin increases the activity of PARP-1 dependent on the low expression of Kif4A in breast cancer cells. Kif4A might become a novel target for overcoming resistance of epirubicin.
