BACKGROUND:Liver cancer pathogenesis and intervention have attracted increasing attentions. Mesenchymal stem cel s become a popular tool for cel cancer research, because of their low immunogenicity and tumor tropism. At present, mesenchymal stem cel s have been applied to the study of liver cancer.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the advances of mesenchymal stem cel s used in liver cancer in basic and clinical research.
METHODS:An online retrieval of CNKI and Pubmed database was performed by the first author for the articles about mesenchymal stem cel s and effect of modified mesenchymal stem cel s on hepatoma carcinoma cel s published from January 2004 to January 2013. The key words were“mesenchymal stem cel , liver cancer, tumor”in Chinese and English. Repetitive research was excluded, and 47 studies met the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stem cel s are seldom reported in liver cancer, and the limited present study show that mesenchymal stem cel s may have a certain influence on the hepatoma carcinoma cel proliferation, invasion and biological behavior. However, due to the differences of cel lines used by the various laboratories, experimental conditions, animal models, as wel as infusion means of stem cel s, experimental results are also inconsistent. Scholars have conducted a series of studies on the mechanism of the Wnt pathway and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand pathway. Tropism of mesenchymal stem cel s to tumor cel s, including liver cancer is widely recognized, so scholars imported therapeutic genes and drugs into mesenchymal stem cel s to interfere with the development of liver cancer, and have achieved some progress. This evidence provides new avenues for cel therapy for liver cancer. Less safety studies in vivo and clinical trials of mesenchymal stem cel s are available, therefore security risks deserve further research.

Objective To evaluate the effect of mild hypothermia on the recovery from cisatracurium blockade during the recovery from anesthesia in patients .Methods Thirty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients , aged 18-64 yr , with body mass index 18-25 kg/m2 , scheduled for elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia ,were enrolled in the study .The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the body temperature recorded when cisatracurium infusion was stopped at the end of surgery .The body temperature 36.0-36.9 ℃served as normothermia group (group N , n=14 ) and 34.0-35.9 ℃ served as mild hypothermia group (group H , n= 16 ) . The body temperature was measured by a thermocouple placed in the nasopharynx . Neuromuscular function was monitored by measuring the evoked mechanical response of the adductor pollicis muscle to supramaximal train-of-four (TOF) stimulation (frequency 2 Hz ,wave length 0.2 ms ,intensity 50 mA ,interval 15 s) of the ulnar nerve at the wrist using TOF-Watch SX? .Cisatracurium was intravenously infused at 1-3μg·kg-1 ·min-1 during surgery to maintain neuromuscular block with 1%

Objective To evaluate the bony variations in lumbar vertebral body among the patients with lnmbar disc herniation and determine its significance to microendoscopic discectomy(MED). Methods The CT images of 160 patients who underwent MED for lumbar disc herniation were reviewed. Measurements of vertebral bony dimensions related to surgical procedure were recorded, which included the angle of spinal process and lamina, spinal process direction, length, thickness and angle of the laminar, facet depth, spinal process width, and the distance between facets and lamina. The relationship between the bony variations and clinical outcome was analyzed. Results The majority of anatomic parameters are greater in male patients and in L5S1 segment than those in female and in L 4-5 (P

Objective To investigate which subfamily genes of T cell receptor (TCR) V? expand predominantly during the course of experimental allergic neuritis (EAN). Methods Using RT-PCR and in situ hybridization techniques,the expression levels of TCR V? 2,6,8,10,14 in the peripheral blood,lymph nodes,peripheral nerves of group EAN and those of the control group were compared. Results In group EAN,the expression of TCR V? 6?8 mRNA increased at the early phage(41.1?1.1 and 74.4?1.9 vs 25.9?1.5 and 26.1?1.6) and became more significantly at the peak of the disease,and resolved to normal at the recovery phage in the lymph nodes.But they amounted up gradually from the early stage to the peak,and then decreased a little in the infiltrating T-lymphocytes in peripheral nerves,the difference was significant.In addition,the expression of TCR V? 8 was notably higher than that of TCR V? 6 in the levels of mRNA. Conclusion The subfamilies of TCRV? genes which restrict the development of EAN due to recognizing the specific antigens are TCRV? 8 and TCRV? 6. T lymphocytes specifically expressing TCR V?6?8 genes are activated and clonally proliferated in the lymph nodes,and then migrate to the involved peripheral nerves,which might induce a series of immune lesions consequently.

Objective To prepare and identify the monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific to epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and explore the function of the mAb.Methods The EpCAM antigen expressed by the prokaryotic expression systems was used to immunize the BALB/c mice,and then the splenic cells from the mice were fused with the Sp2/0 cells to produce hybridomas secreting specific mAb.The positive clones were screened by the ELISA.The western blot analysis was used to identify the reactivity of the mAb to the antigen.Then the immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect EpCAM expression in the 3 primary colorectal carcinoma tissues.Results Three mAb specific to EpCAM were obtained by ELISA tests.Western blot results indicated that these three kinds of antibodies could react to the EpCAM antigen,but no response to the GST tag.Immunohistochemical staining results identified that these mAb could give positive signals to the primary colorectal carcinoma tissues from patients.Conclusion Three mAb specific to EpCAM are obtained and identified,which contributes to the diagnosis and therapy of the carcinoma in the future.

Objective To explore the significance of changes of serum adiponectin and testosterone levels in old male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods A total of 122 male patients(more than 60 years old)were enrolled into this study,T2DM patients without CHD(T2DM group,n =40);T2DM patients with CHD (CHD group,n=38);control group(n=44,44 cases of physical healthy men over the age of 60 in Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital from November 2014 to September 2015).The serum of fasting blood-glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc) and blood lipid were detected by Roche cobas 800 full automatic biochemical analyzer,the serum concentration of testosterone(T) was determined by the chemiluminesent immunoassay,serum adiponectin(APN)levels were determined by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,the serum insulin(FINS)levels were evaluated by chemiluminescence method,according to the steady-state model evaluation method for calculation of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR),the difference among the three sets of the above indexes indicators were compared,and the correlation between APN and other indicators above were analyzed.Results Compared with control group,the serum T and APN levels in the T2DM group and CHD group were significantly decrease,and the CHD group was the most obviously (P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the FPG,FINS,triglycerides(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels in T2DM group and CHD group were apparently higher,and the CHD group was the most obviously (P＜ 0.05).The serum adiponectin was negative correlated with TG (r=-0.363),LDL-C(r=-0.417),HOMA-IR(r =-0.602),while positively correlated with HDL-C(r=0.485),T(r=0.624).The serum T was negative correlated with LDL-C(r=-0.457),HOMA-IR(r-0.643),while positively correlated with HDL-C(r=0.478),P＜0.05.Conclusion The level of the serum APN and the serumtin T2DM patients with CHD are significantly lower than the patients without CHD,the serum adiponectin and the serum testosterone may promote the development of T2DM with CHD.

Objective To study the association of early prognosis and risk factors about early neurological deterioration (END) in aged patients with cerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia. Methods One hundred and thirty-nine aged patients with cerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia were selected. The patients were divided into END group (59 cases) and non-END group (80 cases), the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed up 3 months after discharge, the prognosis was evaluated by modified Rankin scale. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors of END. Results The incidence of END was 42.4%(59/139). The incidence of unfavourable prognosis in END group was significantly higher than that in non-END group:78.0%(46/59) vs. 30.0%(24/80), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The score of Canadian stroke scale (CSS) at admission in END group was significantly lower than that in non-END group: (5.2 ± 2.1) scores vs. (6.9 ± 1.7) scores, but the white blood cell count at admission, hematoma volume and brain ventricle hemorrhage rate were significantly higher than those in non-END group: (10.7 ± 2.9) × 109/L vs. (7.9 ± 2.4) × 109/L, (17.4 ± 14.9) ml vs. (11.2 ± 10.5) ml and 42.4%(25/59) vs. 18.8%(15/80), and there were statistical differences (P < 0.05). There were no statistical differences in sex, age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body temperature, random blood glucose, fibrinogen, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and the incidences of hypertension, smoking history, stroke, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia between 2 groups (P>0.05). The Logistic regression analysis results showed that brain ventricle hemorrhage and white blood cell count at admission were independent risks factor for END in aged patients with cerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia(P < 0.05 or < 0.01). Conclusions The aged patients with cerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia will be prone to END, the brain ventricle hemorrhage and white blood cell count at admission are independent risks factor for END, and the early prognosis is poor.
