Objective To investigate the expression of PPAR-γ in rectal carcinoma and the relationship between the expression of PPAR-γ and apoptosis in rectal carcinoma. Methods Tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of PPAR-γ gene, bcl-2 and bax in 16 cases of the normal rectal tissue, 16 cases of rectal adenoma and 80 cases of the rectal carcinoma. TUNEL was used to detect of the AI in 80 cases of the rectal carcinoma. Results The positive rate of PPAR-γ expression in normal rectal tissue, rectal adenoma and adenocarcinoma were 6.3%, 25.0% and 71.3% respectively. Clinicopathological analysis showed that the in-crease of PPAR-γ expression were not associated with age, sex and histological classification (P > 0.05), but associated with differentiation grades, pathological stages, lymph nodes metastases and 3-year survival rate (P < 0.05). The expression of PPAR-γwas positively correla-ted with bcl - 2 and bax. AI was negative related with PPAR-γ (r = -0.51, P < 0.05). Conclusions PPAR-γ gene may play a role in the oncogenesis and progression of rectal carcinoma. The abnormal regulation of apoptosis may play an important role in the pathogenesis of rectal carcinoma. Detection of PPAR-γ is of great value for diagnosing colorectal carcinoma, and evaluating malignancy extent and prognosis.

Objective How to avoid the rejection of the synthetic patch and human tissue has become an urgent problem to be solved.The article investigated thein vivobiocompatibility of polypropylene mesh scaffold with adipose -derived stem cells(ADSCs) in rabbits. Methods Rabbit ADSC suspension were prepared.ADSCs were seeded onto polypropylene mesh scaffolds after passage and amplification and cultured invitro for 1 week .The polypropylene mesh and ADSC fixed polypropylene mesh were implanted respec-tively into the surface of rectus abdominis in rabbits.4 weeks later, adhesion and erosion of the meshes were evaluated, HE staining was used in histological observation and RT-PCR was applied to detect the dynamic changes of VEGF mRNA level.ADSCs were isola-ted from rabbit subcutaneous adipose tissue after collagenase digesting, filtrating and centrifuging. Results The results of flow cy-tometry showed that the expressions of CD44, CD73, CD90, CD45, CD14 and CD34 were 98.54%, 95.32%, 98.49%, 1.21%, 3.01%, 2.14%, respectively.Polypropylene mesh, ADSC-fixed polypropylene mesh had different degrees of corrosion and adhesion , but polypropylene mesh showed denser adhesion.In comparison with polypropylene,ADSC fixed polypropylene meshes induced a mil -der chronic inflammation response,with lower scores for inflammation (1.1 ±0.2 vs 0.6 ±0.1, P=0.001), higher scores for neovas-cularization (17.0 ±0.0 vs 2.6 ±0.3, P=0.000) and fibroblastic proliferation(0.9 ±0.1 vs 2.2 ±0.2, P=0.001).Relative a-mounts of VEGF mRNA of were significantly lower for ADSC-fixed polypropylene compared with the remaining polypropylene meshes (t=94.6, P<0.05). Conclusi on Polypropylene mesh scaffold with ADSCs exhibits excellent cellular compatibility and have a bright future in clinical practice.
