Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of small margin in nephron sparing surgery for early localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods A total of 325 cases of RCC with normal contralateral kidney and staged as Tla were retrospectivly studied.According to the margin size,125 cases were with surgical margin ≤ 5 mm (group ≤ 5 mm),102 cases with margin 6-9 mm (group 6-9 mm) and 98 cases with margin > 10 mm (group > 10 mm).The margin size and status was pathologically evaluated and clinical results including local recurrence,distant metastasis and overall survival rate were followed up and comparatively analyzed. Results None of the patients had positive surgical margins.The mean and median margin sizes were 2.2 and 2.0 mm for group ≤ 5 mm,6.7 and 6.0 mm for group 6-9 mm and 11.8 and 12.0 mm for group > 10 mm.The difference was statistically significant (P=0.025).The mean and median follow-up time for all the patients were 79 and 83 months (range 15-132 months),with 69 and 73 months (range,15-130 months) for group ≤ 5 mm,83 and 86 (range,17-132 months) for group 6-9mm and 82 and 82 (range 60-103 months) for group > 10 mm.Three patients in group ≤ 5 mm,5 in group 6-9 mm and 2 in group > 10 mm died of no-cancer related disease during follow-up.One patient in group ≤ 5 mm (0.74%) experienced ectopic recurrence in the same kidney and one in group 6-9 mm was detected local recurrence in situ (0.98%).No distant metastasis was detected in all the patients.The overall 5-year survival rate for patients in groups ≤ 5mm,6-9 mm and > 10 mm were 99.2%,99.0% and 98.0%,respectively.(Kaplan-Meier survival analysis,Log Rank,x2 =1.511,P=0.470). Conclusions Small margin in nephron sparing surgery is safe and effective in treating RCC with stage T1a,which provides excellent renal function preservation,favorable long-term progression-free survival rate,and is not associated with an increased risk of local recurrence.

Objective To explore the method of primary isolation, cultivation and identification of rat brain microvessel pericytes. Methods The brain tissue of 10 3 week-old Wistar rats was separated sterilely. The brain microvessel fragments were separated using two-step enzyme digestion and one-step gradient centrifugation and were seeded in 35-mm dishes for primary culture. The cell morphology was observed by phase contrast microscopy; the immunofluorescence assay was used to identify the associated antigns, such as the α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), neuron-glial antigen 2 (NG2), von Willebrand factor (vWF), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium was used to determine the cell growth curve. Results Pericytes climbed out from the adherent brain microvascular fragments around,showing polygonal, and the cell fusion was 95% after 12-14 days. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the molecular markers of the pericytes α-SMA and NG2 related antigens showed double positive, while the vWF and GFAP related antigens showed double negative and the cultured cells were confirmed as brain microvascular pericytes. The growth rate of primary cells was slower. The passage cells entered into logarithmic growth phase after 36 to 60 hours and entered into plateau phase after 72 to 108 hours. Conclusions This method may successfully isolate rat brain microvascular pericytes with higher purity.

Objective To observe expressions of mRNA for Par-4 and WT1 in bone marrow cells from acute leukemia patients and non-leukemia patients, and to approach the correlation between CR rate and Par-4, WT1 expression level. Methods To detect Par-4 and WT1 mRNA expression level in bone marrow cells from 78 acute leukemia patients and 23 non-leukemia patients by means of Real-time Fluorescent Quantitation RT-PCR. Results FQ-RT-PCR result showed that Par-4 mRNA was expressed in bone marrow cells from 78 acute leukemia patients and 23 non-leukemia patients. Compared with control groups, the expression levels of Par-4 mRNA were significantly suppressed (9.35×10-4±8.4×10-5, P <0.05). Compared with initial treatment groups and relapse groups, the expression levels of Par-4 mRNA in remission groups were significantly up-regulated (1.26×10-3±1.1×10-4) but were still significantly lower than that in control groups (3.25×10-3±2.9×10-4). There was no significance difference between initial treatment groups and relapse groups. No apparent association was found between Par-4 expression level and CR rate (P >0.05). WT1 gene was overexpressed in bone marrow cells from acute leukemia patients(2.98× 10-3±2.1×10-4), but the expression levels of WT1 mRNA were significantly lower in bone marrow cells from control groups (7.25×10-5±6.7×10-6,P <0.05). Compared with initial treatment groups and relapse groups, the expression levels of WT1 mRNA in remission groups were significantly down-regulated (6.86×10-4±5.2× 10-5) but were still significantly higher than that in control groups. There was no significant difference between initial treatment groups and relapse groups.There was significant difference between different WT1 expression levels and CR rates (P <0.05). Conclusion The result of FQ-RT-PCR testing confirmed that Par-4 mRNA expression is lower, while WT1 is higher in acute leukemia. Par-4 and WT1 gene present mutually exclusive expression patterns. There was no apparent association between Par-4 expression level and CR rate.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the bioequivalence of domestic and imported Fenofibrate capsules in healthy volunteers. METHODS: In double-period crossover study, 18 healthy volunteers received a single oral dose of domestic Fenofibrate capsule 200 mg (test capsule) and imported capsule 200 mg (reference capsule). The content of fenofibric acid in plasma was measured with HPLC. BECS pharmacokinetics program was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability and to evaluate the bioequivalence of two preparations. RESULTS: The main pharmacokinetic parameters of domestic Fenofibrate capsule vs. imported Fenofibrate capsule were as follows: t1/2(21.34?3.31) h vs.(21.83?4.35) h, Cmax(7.31?2.65) mg?L-1 vs. (7.28?2.66) mg?L-1, tmax(4.72?0.57) h vs.(4.67?0.59) h, AUC0~72(170.09?54.06) mg?h?L-1 vs. (172.2?54.64) mg?h?L-1, AUC0~∞(188.56?55.27) mg?h?L-1 vs. (192.27?56.62) mg?h?L-1. The relative bioavailability F0~72 and F0~∞ of domestic Fenofibrate capsule were(98.87?6.76)% vs.(98.00?6.72)%, respectively. Non-parameter test of tmax and variance analysis and t-test of Cmax and AUC0~72 showed there was no statistical difference between 2 kinds of Fenofibrate capsules. The 90% confidential intervals of AUC0~72 and Cmax of test capsule were 83.3%~116.9% and 81.1%~124.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The domestic and imported Fenofibrate capsules are bioequivalent.
