OBJECTIVE:
To observe the inhibitory effect of FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN nanocomposite on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) HNE-1 cell in vitro.
METHOD:
To observe the MMP-9 mRNA and protein expression levels, proliferation ability, cell apoptosis and invasion ability of HNE-1 cell 48 hours after FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN transfection by RT-PCR, Western-blot, MTT assay, flow cytometry and Matrigel invasion test.
RESULT:
MMP-9 mRNA and protein expression in HNE-1 cell of FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN group was significantly decreased compared to control group and nonsense sequence group of FA-MNP-MMP-9-NSODN. At the same time, for the HNE-1 cell in FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN group, growth inhibition rate was about 35.66%, proliferation activity significantly decreased compared to the control group and the nonsense sequence group, cell cycle was also inhibited, cell apoptosis rate was about 12.60%, the apoptosis rate was significantly higher than that in the control group and the nonsense sequence group. Invasion assay showed that the transmembrane cells in FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN group were about 21.00, significantly lower than that in the control group and the nonsense sequence group.
CONCLUSION
By inhibiting the expression of MMP-9, FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN nanocomposites could reduce NPC cell proliferation and invasion ability, and promote apoptosis, it had a good inhibitory effect in vitro.

OBJECTIVE:
To construct FA targeted magnetic nanocomplex (FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN) loading matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) and evaluate its targeting capacity and efficiency of gene transfection to folate receptor (FR) positive NPC.
METHOD:
FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN was constructed by MMP-9-ASODN coupling with FA-MNP prepared by our research team through the aldehyde-ammonia condensation reaction. To analyze the feasibility of ASODN coupling with nanocarrier agarose gel electrophoresis. Two kinds of HNE-1 and CNE-2 cells and implanted tumors phagocytosis of FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN were observed by MRI on tumor-bearing nude mice, iron staining and TEM. To analyze gene transfection of the vector by observing FITC in the cell.
RESULT:
The electrophoresis results revealed ASODN successfully coupling with FA-MNP. HNE-1 cell can effectively ingest the nanocomposite,with more FITC in the cell, but CNE-2 cell had not uptake for the nanocomposite, with no FITC in the cell. By comparing with CNE-2 tumor, HNE-1 tumor also can efficiently swallow the nanocomposite.
CONCLUSION
FA-MNP-MMP-9-ASODN nanocomplex is constructed successfully with good FA targeting ability and gene transfection.

OBJECTIVE:
To discuss the surgical treatments of cystic lymphangioma and their curative effect.
METHOD:
A retrospective review of 12 patients (9 males, 3 females) of cystic lymphangioma was performed, with the age ranged from 1 to 35 (median age was 11). Six patients were born with cervical cyst, three patients had symptoms in childhood, and 3 in adolescence. Ten patients underwent modified operation, that is the extracapsular dissection performed under direct vision after open cystic, from July 1998 to March 2008, a patients who had operative procedure in other hospital with recurrence and a 1 year child received local injection of bleomycin A 5.
RESULT:
Cystic lymphangioma were complete excised in 10 surgical patients, without any complication like nerve injury. One of the two patients who received injection was lost in follow-up, and the other was still in follow-up with the tumor basically eliminated.
CONCLUSION
Surgery is the primary treatment of cystic lymphangioma. Modified operative method is helpful to complete resection of lymphangioma and the protection of surrounding tissues.

Objective:To compare the reliability between infrared thermal imaging technology(IRT) and colour Doppler ultrasound (CDU) in the detection of perforators for anterolateral femoral perforator flap(ALTPF).Methods:From September, 2017 to September, 2019, a total of 25 patients(16 males and 9 females, aged 12-53 years old with an average age of 38.7 years old) underwent ALTPF surgery for the purpose of resurfacing and reconstruction. All patients had pedicled or free ALTPF sized from 5.0 cm×8.0 cm to 7.5 cm×30.0 cm. Among all cases, 21 received free flaps and 4 received pedicled flaps. All patients underwent routine IRT and CDU examinations to locate the perforators preoperatively.Results:Of the 25 patients, CDU detected 53 perforators and IRT detected 51 "hot spots". There were 50 "hot spots" that corresponded to the findings of CDU with a κ index at 0.712( P<0.05), representing a high degree of consistency. The sensitivity and specificity were 94.3% and 85.7%, respectively. Conclusion:IRT has a high consistency in detecting perforators for ALTPF in comparison with CDU. IRT features portable, low cost, non-invasive, and easy to operate. At the same time, IRT has advantages in the patients who have thin subcutaneous tissue. With higher accuracy, IRT is expected to become an important part of preoperative perforator navigation.

The integrity of lysosomes is of vital importance to survival of tumor cells. We demonstrated that LW-218, a synthetic flavonoid, induced rapid lysosomal enlargement accompanied with lysosomal membrane permeabilization in hematological malignancy. LW-218-induced lysosomal damage and lysosome-dependent cell death were mediated by cathepsin D, as the lysosomal damage and cell apoptosis could be suppressed by depletion of cathepsin D or lysosome alkalization agents, which can alter the activity of cathepsins. Lysophagy, was initiated for cell self-rescue after LW-218 treatment and correlated with calcium release and nuclei translocation of transcription factor EB. LW-218 treatment enhanced the expression of autophagy-related genes which could be inhibited by intracellular calcium chelator. Sustained exposure to LW-218 exhausted the lysosomal capacity so as to repress the normal autophagy. LW-218-induced enlargement and damage of lysosomes were triggered by abnormal cholesterol deposition on lysosome membrane which caused by interaction between LW-218 and NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1. Moreover, LW-218 inhibited the leukemia cell growth
