In the state of the stress,macrophage apoptosis is increased,function of secretion disordered and the ability of antigen-presenting redused,so the defense system is significantly reduced.This is one rea-son of complications including infection,sepsis,systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiple or-gan failure.But mild heat stress may promote the immunological function of splenic macrophage.

[Abstract ] CHD1L is a newly identified oncogene located at Chr 1q21,its oncogenic role in tumorigenesis is through unleashed cell proliferation, G1/S transition, inhibition of apoptosis and Chromatin instability .It is an independent biomarker that can affect tumour′s process, prognosis and survival rate.The underlying mechanisms of CHD1L activation may disrupt the cell death program via binding the apoptotic protein Nur77 or exterting relevant function by mediate CHD 1L′s target genes (ARHGEF9, TCTP, SPOCK1, and NTKL) .This paper mainly introduces its oncogenic role and research progress of related molecular mechanism .

In order to improve the surface properties of PLGA polymer for a better material/cell interface to modulate the cells behaviors, we prepared a novel three-block copolymer, PLGA-[ASP-PEG], and immobilized an RGD-containing peptide, Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro-Cys (GRGDSPC) on the surface of it. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) was transfected into bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) employed as seeded cells. Cell adhesion, spreading, proliferation and differentiation on this material were investigated. The results showed that the cell adhesive ratio on RGD-modified materials was higher than on un-modified materials (P<0.05). The extent of cell spreading was also wider on RGD-modified materials than on un-modified materials. Cell proliferation indices of transfected MSCs were increased as compared with the un-transfected MSCs (P<0.05). The ALP activities in the MSCs cultured with RGD-modified materials were higher than on un-modified materials after 14 days (P<0.05), and those in transfected MSCs were higher than in un-transfected MSCs (P<0.05). It was suggested that the combined use of RGD-modification and TGF-beta gene transfection could improve the interaction of biomaterial and cells.

Objective To investigate the regulation on cell cycle related factor such as Cyclins and P21waf/cip1 by inhibiting histone deacetylase(HDAC)with valproic acid sodium(VPA).Methods HepG2 hep-tocellular carcinoma cells.BGC-823 gastric carcinoma cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells were cultured with O.75-4.00 mmoL/L VPA for 48 h in vivo.and the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry with PI assay.The protein and mRNA expression of Cyclin A,Cyclin D1,Cyclin E and P21waf/cip1 were analyzed by indirect immu-nofluorescence technique and RT-PCR.respectively.Results Compared with control groups,VPA at concen-trations 0.75-4.00 mmol/L exerted a significant inhibiting effect on G1 phase of HepG2,BGC-823 and MCF-7 cells(P<0.001).and the effect was dose dependent.Cyclin A was down-regulated both at mRNA and protein level in HepG2 and BGC-823 cells(P<0.001),but no difference in MCF-7 cells(P>0.05).Cyclin D1 was down-regulated both at mRNA and protein level(P<0.001)and P2lwaf/cip1 was up-regulated both at the mRNA and protein level in the three cell lines(P<0.001);Conversely,protein and mRNA expression of Cyclin E were unchanged upon treatment with VPA(P>0.05).Condusion Acetylization of histone intervened with VPA can regulate Cyclin D1 and P21waf/cip1 expressions obviously.To the expression of Cyclin A,it shows some difference according to the histogenesis and phenotypes of different carcinoma types.But there is not any obvious function on Cyclin E.Down-regulating Cychn D1 and up-regulating P21waf/cip1 may be the common target path-way in the inhibition of cell cycle G1 phase exerted by VPA.

AIM: To investigate the role of mild heat stress towards the immunological function of splenic macrophages and significance of BiP protein expression. METHODS: Primary cultured splenic macrophages were prepared and placed in 41 ℃ thermostat for thermal stress and restored to 37 ℃ after an hour. Heat stressed macrophages were separated into groups at time points of 0 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min and 180 min, and their BiP mRNA and BiP protein expressions were detected. At the same time, the phagocytic function, cytotoxicity and chemotaxis of the macrophages were detected. RESULTS: After heat stress, the expressions of BiP mRNA and BiP protein in splenic macrophages remarkably increased, and reached to peak after 30-60 min, still remained higher than control group after 120 min and restored to normal level after 180 min. At the same time, mild heat stress enhanced the phagocytotic, cytotoxicity and chemotactic activities of splenic macrophages, and reached to peak after 60 min then gradually decreased. CONCLUSION: The expression of BiP protein is enhanced after mild heat stress, synchronous changes happen both in BiP protein expression and cellular function. There is close relation between BiP protein expression and increased functions of splenic macrophages induced by mild heat stress.

Objective To investigate the long-term effect of direct percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on left ventricular remodeling in patients aged ≥75 years with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods 108 cases of patients with acute myocardial infarction were collected into the study.Direct PCI were completed in patients in PCI group within 12 hours of onset.Patients in non-PCI group received conventional conservative treatment with drugs.Patients were followed up for 0.5-8.0 years,and cardiac function (NYHA) and the detected ultrasonic cardiogram were evaluated during follow-up.Results The 106 patients received follow-up.Two female patients who were not treated with PCI died during follow-up,one patient died of sudden cardiac death and another patient died of severe pneumonia.Compared with non-PCI group,direct PCI group showed that cardiac function (NYHA) grade was lower(t=3.17,P<0.05),the end-systolic and end-diastolic volume of left ventricle were less(t=3.50、3.90,all P<0.01),the left ventricular ejection fraction was increased (t=2.00,P<0.05),the ventricular wall motion index was smaller (t=2.96,P<0.01).E/A ratio was higher,E wave deceleration time was shorter,and left ventricular mass index was smaller (t=4.04,4.29,4.70,respectively,all P<0.01),the left ventricular long and short axis diameter were decreased (t=2.30,t=5.53,P<0.05 or 0.01),and Spherical index was increased (t=2.97,P<0.01).Conclusions Direct PCI treatment improves chronic ventricular remodeling in elderly patients with AMI and contributes to long-term improvement in cardiac function.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the past 5 years' clinic experience of diagnosis and treatment of the pediatric soft-tissue foreign body (STFB),and to probe new strategies for its clinical management.MethodsTotally 165 consecutive children with small radiopaque STFB were involved.All the children were diagnosed with X-rays.CT (enhanced CT in 9 children)and virtual anatomy imaging (VAI) were performed in 40 children.Percutaneous foreign body forceps removal guided with C-arm video-fluoroscopy was performed and the effect was evaluated.ResultsThe longest dimension of STFB ranged from 1 mm to 40 mm,and the shortest dimension ranged from 1 mm to 5 mm,including scrap-iron,broken iron nails and needles,and glass pieces embedded in soft tissues under surface of the limbs,neck,chest,abdomen and pelvis.Seventy-six (76/165,46.06 %) children received interventional therapy,and 73 were completely cured (73/76,96.05 %),2 were partially cured (2/76,2.63 %),and 1 was failed (1/76,1.32 %).VAI accurately depicted STFB closely to large vessels even associated vascular complication with local large hematomas or pseudoaneurysms,helped to select the treatment methods and the forceps removal roads.Hematoma,infection,neural damages and other serious complications did not occur during and after operation.ConclusionVideo-fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous foreign body forceps removal is minimally invasive,safe and effective for small radiopaque STFBs,but may not suitable for the one very close to large blood vessels with or without vascular injuries complications.Preoperative CT VAI is helpful to locate STFB within complicated anatomic structures,selecting optimal intervention pathway and assessing the risk of intervention.
