Objective To investigate the expression of RCAS1,which is a receptor-binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells in many tumor cell lines. Methods Using real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR),Northern blot,immunohistochemical examination and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,we detected the expre-(ssion) of RCAS1 in 10 different tumor cell lines and two normal cell lines. Results The expression of RCAS1 in the tumor cell lines and the fetal renal cell line(293 cell) was detected by real-time PCR and Northern blot,but not in the normal liver cell line(LO2 cell).The results of immunohistochemical examination on the tumor cell lines and the 293 cell showed that RCAS1 existed in cytoplasma and on cell surface.Except HuH-7 cell and LO2 cell,the soluble RCAS1 protein in supernatants of the other cells was significantly more than that in DMEM(P

BACKGROUND: Hippocampal formation of brain, a cerebral area related with learning and memory, is closely related to spatial cognitive activity.Peroxidative stress following the onset of cerebral ischemia can induce DNA injury in hippocampal 'area and dentate gyrus, the fall of the ability of DNA plerosis and correspondingly a decline in the function of learning and memory.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of hongjingtian on the expression of nucleic acid of hippocampal area and dentate gyrus, the learning and memory area of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was completed at the Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College from April 2002 to April 2004. Totally 60 Wistar male rats were selected and divided randomly into 5 groups Model group: Rats were perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the same as that in medication group.METHODS: Rats in each group were perfused incessantly for 7 days.Modified Pulsinelli-4 vessel blocking method was used to reproduce the rat model of acute complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Rats in sham-operation group were not treated with the operation of burning vertebral artery and clipping common carotid artery. The changes of DNA and RNA expressions in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus were observed with acridine orange staining method after model establishment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of DNA and RNA in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats in each group.RESULTS: All 60 rats entered the final analysis. DNA and RNA in shamoperation group distributed evenly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was strong. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex was illegible and response intensity was obviously weak in model ly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was group was not of obvious difference as compared with that in model group.CONCLUSION: The illegibility of DNA and RNA fluorescent response in operation group is related with the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus is legihibit the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress and protect learning and memory function in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

A number of biosimilars will be soon marketing due to the expiration of patent protection of their originators.Unlike classical chemical drugs,biotherapeutics are proteins with large and complex molecules produced by biological high-tech with sophisticated manufactural procedures.This leads to the difficulties of the copy of biosimilars from their originators,and the almost inevitable distinctions between the two products.Thus biosimilars are only similar but not identical to their reference drugs in terms of stracture,action,and safety.It is important for physicians to understand these differences before using biosimilars.Optimal management by a national regulatory authority with rigorous standards is very important in all aspects of authorization of the development,production,marketing,and postmarketing surveillances for biosimilars.

Objective To study the clinical effect and necessity of removing internal fixation after treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation (Tossy Ⅲ ) with AO clavicular hook plate. Methods From October 2001 to October 2004, 31 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation (Tossy Ⅲ ) were treated with AO clavicular hook plate and were followed up. All of their broken acromioclavicular joints were sutured and the clavicular insertions of deltoid and trapezius muscles were repaired. The coracoclavicular ligaments were sutured for only 9 patients. Their shoulder functions before and after taking out of the internal fixation were assessed by Constant and Murley evaluation and compared. Results 24 patients were followed up from 4 to 40 months after operations (averaging 22 months). There were no loosening or breakage of internal fixations. The plates were removed 12 to 27 months postoperatively (averaging 18 months) in only 9 patients. No redislocation occurred after taking out of the plates. The scores of shoulder joint function were 76.5? 8.6 and 99.5? 1.0 (P
