Objective To investigate the effect of hydroxycam ptothecine on PS2 and COX-2 in nude mice by human bile duct carcinoma QBC939 cells in order to analyze the correlation between PS2 and COX-2 expressions and the development of the tumor.Methods After the model of the transplanted tumor of subcutaneous tissues located the nude mice was constructed by human bile duct carcinoma QBC939 cells,30 nude mice were randomly divided into 3 groups,namely,control group,hydroxycamptothecine low-dose group and high-dose group.The growth of the transplanted tumor was observed and immunohistochemical staining combined with image analysis was used to determine the expression of PS2 and COX-2 in the tumor tissues.Results Compared with that of the control group,the content of PS2 in the tumor tissues was increased in hydroxycamptothecine low-dose group and high-dose group.The content of COX-2 was decreased and the growth of the transplanted tumor was inhibited in both hydroxycamptothecine low-dose group and high-dose group(P

Objective To present some revision surgery for correcting short and bulky outward appearance of reconstructed finger pulp in toe-to-hand transfer. Methods Since Sep. 1998 to Dec. 2006,in a series of 33 patients, 39 fingers had been reconstructed with 2nd toe. In order to change the shape of bulbous distal toe segment into a normal tapering fingertip, revisional operations had been designed, i.e. (1)Excision of bulky skin and excessive soft tissue from one or both sides of the finger pulp. (2)Transfer and inlaid the excised lateral soft tissue flap to the central constricting part of the finger pulp. (3)Full thickness skin graft to palmar central narrow part of toe pulp. 4. Rotational transfer of local lateral "L" shape flap. Results All the patients healed by first intention with no skin necrosis occurred. The bulbous rectangular shaped toe pulp were corrected and outward appearance were much improved in most cases. Though the outward appearance in one simple skin graft case was not satisfactory in correcting flexion deformity of distal segment and increased its circumference. Conclusion In toe-to-hand transfer, the distal segment of reconstructed finger often shown to have an bulbous toe pulp appearance, which may bring psychological burden to the patient and their relatives. Simple revisional surgery recommended here may yield favorable improvement.

Objective To investigate the combined effect and mechanism of metformin (Met) and 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) on cell proliferation and apoptosis in liver cancer cells HepG2 and Hep3B.Methods Wst-1 reagent was used to determine the anti-proliferation effects after treatments with Met and 2DG alone or combined in HepG2 and Hep3B cells.Microscopy was used to observe cell morphological changes after treatments with Met and 2DG alone or combined in HepG2 and Hep3B cells.Cell apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry after treatment of different kinds of drugs.Western blotting was used to analyze the protein expressions of Caspase-3,PARP,Mcl-1 of HepG2.Results The survival rate of HepG2 cells in the combination group was (22.48 ± 0.51)％,and compared with the control group (100.00 ± 5.05)％,Met group (80.68 ±5.10)％ and 2DG group (72.56 ±4.34)％,the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.001;P ＜ 0.001;P =0.001).The survival rate of Hep3B cells in the combination group was (29.16 ± 1.34) ％,and compared with the control group (100.00 ± 1.23) ％,Met group (59.58 ± 1.92) ％ and 2DG group (33.87 ± 1.95) ％,the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.001;P ＜ 0.001;P =0.001).Microscopy observation showed that combined treatment of Met and 2DG caused less viable adherent cells of HepG2,but more floating dead cells.While the combination group also caused a decrease in the density of Hep3B cells,but did not significantly increase the shedding of cells.The apoptosis of HepG2 cells in the combination group was (39.63 ± 0.21) ％,and compared with the control group (7.12 ± 0.14) ％,Met group (12.56 ± 0.35) ％ and 2DG group (15.16 ± 1.93) ％,the differences were statistically significant (P ＜0.001;P ＜ 0.001;P =0.001).The apoptosis of Hep3B cells in the combination group was (12.58 ± 1.03) ％,and compared with the control group (2.82 ± 0.51) ％ and Met group (8.98 ± 0.86) ％,the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.001;P =0.007),but compared with the 2DG group (12.40 ± 1.78) ％,the difference was not statistically significant (P =1.000).Furthermore,Western blotting demonstrated that the combined treatment induced evident Caspase-3 activation and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavages,and decreased expression of Mcl-1.Conclusion The combination of Met and 2DG can effectively inhibit cell proliferation of HepG2 and Hep3B,and induce apoptosis of HepG2 cells.The mechanism may be involved with Caspase-3 activation,cutting PARP substrate and decreasing Mcl-1 protein.

Objectives: To study the changes of blood levels of soluble semaphorin 4D (sSema4D) and matrix metalloproteinases-14 (MMP-14);to explore the correlation between sSema4D and ventricular remodeling in patients of dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure.
Methods: Our research included in 2 groups:Dilated cardiomyopathy group, n=86 patients and Control group, n=32 healthy subjects. Blood levels of sSema4D, MMP14, Pro-BNP and hs-CRP were examined by ELISA. Left atrial diameter (LAD), right ventricular diameter (RVD), ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were measured by echocardiography. Correlation analysis between blood levels of sSema4D, MMP-14 and the parameters for left ventricular remodeling was conducted.
Results: Blood levels of sSema4D and MMP14 were different between 2 groups, P<0.005. In Dilated cardiomyopathy group, sSema4D level was positively related to MMP-14 and LVEDD (r=0.462, P=0.001 and r=0.643, P<0.001) respectively.
Conclusion: Serum level of sSema4D might be related to ventricular remodeling in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy which could be used as risk factor for predicting the prognosis of heart failure in relevant patients.
