BACKGROUND:A large number of experiments have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (BMSCs) have good effects on the treatment of lung disease or improvement of lung injury, and its therapeutic effect is mainly oriented to reduce the inflammatory response. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of BMSCs combined with reduced glutathione in murine models of bleomycin-induced lung injury. METHODS:BMSCs were isolated from a male NOD/SCID mouse and cel morphology and phenotype were observed. Sixty-four female NOD/SCID mice were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, a BMSCs group and a BMSCs+reduced glutathione group (combined group). The control group received intratracheal injection of normal saline, the model group received intratracheal injection of bleomycin, and the BMSC group received BMSCs injectionvia the tail vein at 2 hours after intratracheal injection of bleomycin, and combined group received BMSCs+reduced glutathione injection via the tail vein at 2 hours after intratracheal injection of bleomycin. Al mice were kiled after 7 days, and levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-β, malondialdehyde in lung tissue were detected and lung tissue specimens were obtained for pathological examination. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:BMSCs were fibroblast-like cels, Positive for CD10, CD13 and CD44, but negative for CD34 and CD45. Compared with the control group, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-β and malondialdehyde were increased in the model group, while decreased significantly in the BMSCs group and combined group (P < 0.05), especialy in the combined group (P < 0.05). Pathological examination showed that more serious lung injury was observed in the model group and BMSCs group than the combined group. These findings indicate that BMSCs combined with reduced glutathione can more effectively protect against bleomycin-induced lung injury.

Objective To assess potential suitability of the intercostal artery as a conduit in coronary bypass graft.Methods Collected 36 cases of chinese adult thoracic aorta CTA original cross-sectional images,the images were retrospectively reconstructed under volume rendering technology (VR),multi-planar reconstruction (MPR),curved planar reformation (CPR) and maximum intensity projection(MIP).Observed and measured the data of the 8th,9th and 10th bilateral intercostal arteries and internal thoracic arteries.Results Toshiba 320-slice volume scanning CT can clearly display the intercostal arteries.The average length and diameter at corresponding point of the left and right 8-10th intercostal artery is similar,all the length is longer than 180 mm,and the diameter at axillary line is all bigger than 2.1 mm,the mean length of right intercostal arteries is slightly longer than the left intercostal arteries,the diameter at each corresponding point of left and right intercostal artery is similar,and equivalent to approximately 85％-90％ of internal thoracic artery.Conclusion Intercostal artery can be used as an ideal alternative vessel in coronary artery bypass grafting.

Objective To analyze the institutional cooperation networks of 137 military hospitals in terms of published papers, trends of cooperation and co-authorship in order to guide the cooperation between military hospitals.Methods The institutional cooperation, co-authorship, author-keyword co-occurrence and author-subject co-occurrence in the 137 military hospitals were analyzed with the Thomson data analyzer( TDA) software.Results and Conclusion The institutional coop-eration between military hospitals could be divided into 5 types and were based on the principle of proximity of locations and similiarity of research.The cooperaiton circle with Chinese PLA General Hospital as the center was expanded over time. The institutional cooperation between military and civilian hospitals was also based on the principle of proximity of locations and similiarity of research.Cooperation between productive authors mainly occurred in the same research group but co-au-thorship outside the research group was scarce.The potential competition or cooperation between research fields and authors can be analyzed by comparing co-authorship and author-keyword co-occurrence.

Methods Sixty-one elderly inpatients with HER-2 positive gastric cancer ascites in the Gaoming District People's Hospital, Wuchuan Municipal People's Hospital and Zhejiang Provincial Tumor Hospital were divided into the two groups. The treatment group(n= 31) was treated by the radioactive particles+ targeted drug Trastuzumab(initial dose 8 mg/kg, maintenance dose 66 mg/kg, once per 3 weeks) for 6 weeks; the control group(30 cases) was treated by targeted drug Trastuzumab (initial dose 8 mg/kg,maintenance dose 6 mg/kg, once per 3 weeks) for 6 weeks. The levels of ascites IL-27,IL-29 and miRNA-497 in the radioactive partcles combined targeted therapy group and control group were detected. Results The levels of ascites IL-27, IL-29 and miRNA-497 after treatment in the treatment group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment and in the control group,the effective remission rate in the treatment group was 74. 19%, which was higher than 36.67% in the control group, the average median survival time in the treatment group was 155 d, which washigher than 72 d in the control group, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion IL-27 ,IL-29 and miRNA-497 has the significance of curative effect evaluation and prognosis judgment in the radioactive particles combined targeted therapy for the patients with HER 2 positive gastric cance.

Clinical application of staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 (SEC2) was restricted during the cure of malignant tumor due to its side-effects. The aim of this study was to obtain SEC2 mutant, preserving the important functional sites responsible for the T-cell stimulatory activities but removing the sites responsible for emetic activity, through truncation of SEC2. It would efficiently solve the question of SEC2 side-effect. According to the results of methyl thiazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay in vitro, novel truncated SEC2 mutant (NSM) efficiently stimulated T-cell proliferation and inhibited the growth of such tumor cells as human colorectal cancer cells (Cx-1) and human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) in vitro. Activities of T cell stimulating and anti-tumor of NSM were similar to those of SEC2. According to results of animal experiments, the mutant no longer induced emetic response even if the dose was a 10-fold excess of the amount of SEC2 required. And also, NSM obviously inhibited the tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. Therefore, we obtained novel truncated staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 mutant, which could efficiently inhibit the growth of tumor cells. It will become novel anti-tumor agents with the lowest side-effects and best treatment effects in clinic.
