1.Research development on drug resistance of taxol and β tubulin Ⅲ
Cancer Research and Clinic 2011;23(2):137-139
The taxol s effect of inducing apoptosis is mainly related to its ability to promote tubulin polymerization and prevent tubulin chain depolarization. Drug resistance is the main restriction factor for clinical usage of taxol. Some basic and clinical studies support that poor response to taxol and poor prognosis are related to overexpression of β tubulin Ⅲ.

BACKGROUND: Differentiation inducing factors and gestational age influence the differentiation potential of embryonic neuralstem cells.OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to observe the differentiation potential of rat mesencephalic neural stem cells at differentgestational ages towards dopaminergic neurons.DESIGN: A randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou City, GuangdongProvince, China.MATERIALS: This study was performed at the Laboratory of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between Marchand September 2007. Thirty adult gestational SD rats, weighing 350 400 g, were provided by the Laboratory Animal Center of SunYat-sen University (Permission No. 2007-0034). The protocol was performed in accordance with ethical guidelines stated in Guide forthe use and care of laboratory animals, approved by the Committee on the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the Institute ofLaboratory Animal Resources Commission on Life Sciences, National Research Council, China (1985). DMEM/F12 serum-free medium,B27 additives, epidermal growth factor, basic fibmblast growth factor, and fetal bovine serum (volume fraction:0, 1) were purchased fromGibco Company, British; Interleukin lα, interleukin 11, and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factors were purchased from R&D Company,USA; In addition, leukaemia inhibitory factor (Perpotech, British), tyrosine hydroxylase(Santa Cruz, USA), nidogen antibody,microtubule-associated protein 2 antibody, and glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody(Chemicon, USA) were also used.METHODS: Six rats were randomly selected at each time point (on days 10,12,14,16, and 18 after gestation). After anesthesia, therats were sacrificed. Under the aseptic condition, fetal rat was harvested. Rat mesencephalic ventral brain tissue was isolated forculture of neural stem cells. Different gestational ages of rat brain-derived neural stem cells were separately cultured in theserum-free medium containing epidermal growth factors and basic fibroblast growth factors. After passage and amplification, theneural stem cells were induced to differentiate towards dopaminergic neurons in the medium containing interleukin lu, interleukin11, leukaemia inhibitory factors, glial cell-derived leukaemia inhibitory factors. On day 6 after induction and differentiation, thedopaminergic neurons were observed and identified by immunocytochemistry. After labeled by tyrosine hydroxylase, thedifferentiated dopaminergic neuron proportion was detected by a flow cytometer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The growth state of differentiated rat neural stem cells at different gestational ages and theimmunocytochemistry results. The tyrosine hydroxylase staining-positive neural stem cell proportion after induction anddifferentiation.RESULTS: Rat mesencephalic neural stem cell spheres on days 10,12, 14, 16, and 18 after gestation adhesively grew in thedifferentiation-inducing medium. The neural stem cells in the spheres gradually grew in radial tendency. On day 6 afterdifferentiation, most of the neural stem cells exhibited 1-2 long processes or several short processes. After nidogenimmunocytochemical staining, most of neural stem cells exhibited cytoplasm-positive. After culture for 6 days in the differentiationinducing medium, rat mesencephalic neural stem cells at gestational 10,12, 14, 16, and 18 days were detected by a flow cytometer.Results demonstrated that the proportion of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cells was (10.3±2.5)%, (21.6±3.4)%, (16.7±2.8)%,(14.2±3.2)%, and (8.9±1.8)%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the proportion of tyrosine hydroxylase-positivecells among the cells at different gestational days (P < 0.05). Rat neural stem cells at gestational 12 days could be induced todifferentiate into dopaminergic neurons at the highest proportion.CONCLUSION: Mesencephalic neural stem cells of rats at different gestational days have different capabilities to differentiatetowards dopaminergic neurons. The proportion of dopaminergic neurons is the highest when mesencephalic neural stem cells ofrats at gestational 12 days.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) in the treatment of early breast cancer. Methods:The clinicopathological data of breast cancer patients who were treated with OBCS (67 cases) and standard breast-conserving surgery (SBCS;117 cases) in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Postop-erative complication, specimen weight, margins, and surgery re-excision rate between the two groups were compared. Results:Sero-ma (14.9%versus 48.7%, P<0.001), hematoma (4.5%versus 14.5%, P=0.035), and poor wound healing (3.0%versus 11.9%, P=0.036) were more common in the SBCS group than in the OBCS group. The patient satisfaction in the OBCS group was statistically higher than in the SBCS group (P<0.05). Compared with standard surgery, oncoplastic techniques can be employed for significantly larger tumors (25.04 mm versus 21.14 mm, P<0.001). OBCS resulted in higher mean specimen weights (92.24 g versus 57.44 g, P<0.001), wider clear nearest margins (12.04 mm versus 9.58 mm, P<0.001), and wider furthest margins (24.16 mm versus 15.24 mm, P<0.001). No statisti-cal increase was observed in further surgery re-excision of margins. Conclusion:OBCS is more successful than standard wide local exci-sion in treating larger tumors and obtaining wider radial margins. Oncoplastic approach showed no increase in postoperative complica-tion rate. The postoperative complication was excellent. OBCS is a safe and effective procedure for early breast cancer.

BACKGROUND:Insufficient source of seed cel s is the important factor to restrict the tissue reconstruction and the development of regenerative medicine.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the osteogenesis of adipose stem cel s cultured with different kinds of artificial bones.
METHODS:Adipose tissue was extracted from female volunteers undergoing cosmetic surgery to isolate adipose stem cel s. Passage 4 adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel s were selected and divided into osteogenic induction group, osteogenic induction+hydroxyapatite group, osteogenic induction+absorbable bone group and osteogenic induction+recombinant bone xenograft group. The latter three groups were subdivided into 3, 10, 20 g/L subgroups, respectively. Culture medium was exchanged every 3 days, total y for 12 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the osteogenic induction group, the calcium concentration in the elution liquid was significantly higher in the osteogenic induction+hydroxyapatite group and low-concentration osteogenic induction+absorbable bone group (both P<0.05), but no difference was found between the osteogenic induction group and high-concentration osteogenic induction+absorbable bone group (P<0.05). In addition, the calcium concentration in the elution liquid was significantly lower in the osteogenic induction+recombinant bone xenograft group than the osteogenic induction (P<0.05). Therefore, different artificial bone scaffolds can influence the osteogenic effect of adipose stem cel s, and among them, hydroxyapatite has a better effect on the osteogenic induction of adipose stem cel s.
