the Purpose of spermatozoon storerooms are setting up for solving the sterile problem.But some storerooms are found for commercial aim such as the spermatozoon storeroom,for celebrities or doctors'.It should not be approved of.The reasons is that it conflicts with such concepts as life equality,ethical relationship among families,and option for sterile couples.We should prohibit the establishment of the spermatozoon storeroom for the commercial purposes.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of proteoglycan and collagen type Ⅱ in serum and severity of knee osteoarthritis, and to determine whether the two markers could reflect the metabolic changes of cartilage after different knee operations. Methods Serum samples and roentgenographic data of 65 patients with knee osteoarthritis and 22 normal persons in controls were collected. Three different operations were performed for 45 patients respectively. These patients were followed up for half a year. The serum levels of proteoglycan and collagen type Ⅱ epitope were analysed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results Epitope levels of proteoglycan and collagen type Ⅱ in serum of osteoarthritis patients were higher than those in control group. The serum levels of both markers in the group that the roentgenograph show minor narrowing of joint space were highest. Half a year after total knee replacement, the level of proteoglycan decreased significantly(P

Background and purpose:Previous studies have shown that Bubl was a critical component of the spindle checkpoint.Paclitaxel sensitivity was considered to be dependent on the functionality of this spindle checkpoint.This study investigated the effects of pEGFP-Bubl-shRNA plasmid stably transfected into the cell cycle and its sensitivity in human ovarian cancer cell line A2780.Methods:After the pEGFP-Bubl-shRNA plasmid and empty plasmids were constructed.they were transfected into A2780 cells by the Lipofectamine 2000~(TM).The nontransfected cells were the control.RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the target gene and protein expression.The rate of proliferation inhibition was tested by an MTT assay,apoptosis and cell cycles were determined by flow cytometry,and the mitotic index was determined bv Hoechst33342 dye.Results:RT-PCR and Western blotting showed that pEGFP-Bubl-shRNA/A2780 group displayed a low expression of Bubl compared to the A2780 and pEGFP-Cl/A2780 group(P＜0.05).The sensitivity of the pEGFP-Bubl-shRNA/A2780 group was significantly lower than the non-transfccted and pEGFP-Cl/A2780 cells(P＜0.05).Flow cytometry revealed that the rates of G2/M phase and apoptosis were significantly lower in the pEGFP-Bubl-shRNA/A2780 group than those in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Bubl plays an important role in the paclitaxel treatment.A down-regulation of Bubl could reduce the drug sensitivity and rate of G_2/M cells in human ovarian cancer cell line A2780.

Objective To explore the influence of MYC expression level on ovarian cancer cells adhesion and invasion ability,and the involvement of the integrinβ1 in the adhesion and invasion control. Methods Comparative study was done to analyze the relationship between the mRNA level of MYC and ITGB1 among sixty cell lines from the NCI-60 cells bank; Western blot was performed to demonstrate the correlation of MYC and ITGB1 protein level in ovarian cancer cell lines;Immunohistochemistry was adopted to compare the expression level of MYC and ITGB1 in paired primary and metastatic ovarian cancer tissue. Furthermore ,we employed in vitro adhesion test to detect the alteration of ovarian cancer cell adhesion ability to ECM molecular like fibronectin ,collagen I and laminin after fluctuation of MYC and ITGB1 expression; Transwell assay was applied to check the invasion ability variation with the disturbance of MYC and ITGB1 level. Results The mRNA levels of MYC and ITGB1 were dramatically inverse-correlated in NCI-60 cells bank(P<0.01);The protein levels of MYC and ITGB1 in ovarian cancer cell lines were also negative correlated; The primary ovarian cancer tissue showed lower expression of ITGB1 and higher expression of MYC,while the matched metastasis displayed the opposite outcome;Ovarian cancer cells reduced adhesive and invasive capacity in case of ITGB1 being down-regulated ,however, the adhesive and metastatic ability improved tremendously with elevation of ITGB1;Promoted adhesion and invasion ability and rise of ITGB1 expression were observed after downregulation of MYC,meanwhile,and inhibition of ITGB1 reversed the increasement of adhesion and invasion ability. Conclusions MYC,inversely-correlated with ITGB1 in ovarian cancer cells,inhibited ovarian cancer cells adhesion and invasion. Inhibition of MYC could lead to enhanced adhesion and invasion ability of ovarian cancer cells.

Recent evidence has suggested that Akt2 plays an important role in the protection of cells from paclitaxel (PTX)-induced apoptosis and control of the cell cycle. In addition, some scholars suggested that the PTX sensitivity depends on a functional spindle assembly checkpoint. In the present study, we investigated the role of the Akt2/Bub1 cross-talking in apoptosis and cell cycle after exposure of the A2780 ovarian cancer cells to paclitaxel (PTX). Recombinant expression plasmid WT-Akt2 was transfected into A2780 cells by lipofectamine2000, and then the expression level of Akt2 gene was detected by using RT-PCR and Western blotting. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry and Hoechst 33342 staining after treatment with PTX. Moreover, we compared the expression level of Bub1 in different groups by Western blotting. Our study showed that up-regulation of Akt2 contributed to A2780 ovarian cancer cells overriding PTX-induced G(2)/M arrest, and inhibited Bub1 expression. Our findings might shed light on the molecular mechanism of PTX-induced resistance in ovarian cancer and help develop novel anti-neoplastic strategies.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the bone mineral density (BMD) of cervical vertebrae in a population-stratified manner and correlate with that of the lumbar vertebrae. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five hundred and ninety-eight healthy volunteers (254 males, 344 females), ranging from 20 to 64 years of age, were recruited for volumetric BMD (vBMD) measurements by quantitative computed tomography. Basic information (age, height, weight, waistline, and hipline), and vBMD of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae (C2-7 and L2-4) were recorded. Comparisons among sex, age groups and different levels of vertebrae were analyzed using analysis of variance. Linear regression was performed for relevance of different vertebral levels. RESULTS: The vBMD of cervical and lumbar vertebrae was higher in females than males in each age group. The vBMD of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae in males and the vBMD of lumbar vertebrae in females decreased with aging. In each age group, the vBMD of the cervical vertebrae was higher than that of the lumbar vertebrae with gradual decreases from C2 to C7 except for C3; moreover, the vBMD of C6 and C7 was significantly different from that of C2-5. Correlations of vBMD among different cervical vertebrae (females: r = 0.62-0.94; males: r = 0.63-0.94) and lumbar vertebrae (males: r = 0.93-0.98; females: r = 0.82-0.97) were statistically significant at each age group. CONCLUSION: The present study provided normative data of cervical vertebrae in an age- and sex-stratified manner. Sex differences in vBMD prominently vary with age, which can be helpful to design a more comprehensive pre-operative surgical plan.

Objective In observational studies or non-randomized design,the researchers' ability to make causal inferences from data was hampered by confounding factors.This study used this method to analyze a group of observational medical data in order to instruct relevant medical personnel to carry out their own causal inference studies.Methods At present,the four main types of propensity scoring methods:matching,stratification,inverse probability weighting and covariate adjustment have been widely used in the study of causal inference.Propensity score method can theoretically eliminate the bias of the observable confounding factors,so that the treatments variables are close to the result of random assignment design,thus,it is estimated that the treatment factor has a causal effect on the outcome.Results Considering the advantages of the inverse probability weighting method over other methods,this paper summarizes the applicable conditions for the estimate of causal effect,particularly illustrates the use of a modern nonparametric statistical technology--Generalized Boosted Models (GBM) and its advantages and disadvantages.Conclusion When there is a lot of different types of confounding factors,and uncertain functional forms for their associations with treatment selection in linear,non-linear or interaction effect,and other issues,GBM propensity score weighting method can overcome the obstacles in the process of accurately estimating propensity score.
