Objective:This work presents the therapeutic advantage of induction therapy in patients withⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (ⅢA-N2 NSCLC). Methods:ⅢA-N2 NSCLC patients with ipsilateral mediastinal lymph node metastasis (>1 cm as shown by CT scan) who were admitted in our hospital between January 2008 and July 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The response rates and survival outcomes of patients were presented and the prognostic factors were analyzed. Results:The 3-and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 57.7%and 34.2%, respectively, and the 3-and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 37.9%and 30.5%, respec-tively. No significant differences in OS and DFS were observed between R0 and R1 resections (P=0.118; P=0.369), between groups who received neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy and chemotherapy (P=0.771; P=0.953), between cases with and without clinical re-sponse (P=0.865;P=0.862), and among groups of different histological subtypes (P=0.685;P=0.208). However, patients with standard lobectomy or pathological nodal downstaging exhibited better OS (P=0.023 and P=0.024, respectively) and DFS (P=0.036 and P=0.025, respectively) than those who had extensive resections or persistent N2. Univariate analysis predicted better OS and DFS for both standard lobectomy and pathological nodal donwstaging. In addition, Cox multivariate analysis revealed that only pathological nodal downstaging could be considered as a favorable prognostic factor for DFS, while non-smoking and standard lobectomy are the corre-sponding variables for OS. Conclusion:Neo-adjuvant therapy with platinum-based doublet is feasible and useful in tumor and patho-logical nodal downstaging, which potentially improved resectability and survival rates in patients withⅢA-N2 NSCLC. Performing lo-bectomy or pathological nodal downstaging following induction therapy improved the patients' survival rate.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is superior to neural stem cell transplantation to repair spinal cord injury; however, the therapeutic effect is unstable and possibly related to microenvironment.OBJECTIVE: To study the differentiation of cultured in vitro bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into neurocytes by establishing a microenvironment and to observe differential expression of protein.DESIGN, TIME, AND SETTING: Observational contrast study was performed at the Laboratory of Neurobiology, Basic Medical College, Harbin Medical University from July 2005 to May 2007.MATERIALS: Adult Wistar rats and newborn fetal rats were used in this study.METHODS: Spinal cord was obtained from fetal rats to culture neurocytes. While, BMSCs were separated from bone marrow of adult rats, and they were then cultured in vitro, proliferated, and labeled with red fluorescin PKH26. BMSCs and neurocytes were individually cultured in the BMSCs group and the neurocyte group, respectively. In addition, BMSCs and neurocytes were co-cultured in vitro in double-layer culture dish in the co-culture group and the layered combination group, respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The obtained cells after 7-day culture were immunofluorescently detected by neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) technique was used to analyze associated protein that was apparently changed during the differentiation from BMSCs into neurocytes.RESULTS: Seven days after co-culture, BMSCs were morphologically shared like neurocytes. Immunofluorescence indicated that NSE- and GFAP-positive ratios of BMSCs in the co-culture group were significantly higher than the layered combination group (P < 0.05); while, the ratios in the layered combination group were significantly higher than BMSCs alone group (P < 0.05). Five protein expressions were changed during the differentiation from BMSCs into neurocytes, for example, TIP39_RAT and CALC_RAT expressions increased in the layered combination group, which were 5.344 and 2.805 times as the primary expressions; INSL6_RAT, PNOC_RAT, and PCSKI_RAT expressions decreased, which were 0.380, 0.499, and 0.437 times as the primary expressions.CONCLUSION: By a microenvironment, both BMSCs and neurocytes in the co-culture and layered combination groups can differentiate into neuroblasts; while, contact differentiation ratio is higher than non-contract one. The differentiation is closely related to five proteins, including TIP39_RAT, CALC_RAT, INSL6_RAT, PNOC_RAT, and PCSK1_RAT.

The biological activities i. e. antineoplastic activities and antiviral activity of the two novel kinds of interferons: hIFN-λ1 and hIFN-ε were studied and compared. First the fusion expression vector: pcDNA3.1A-hIFN-λ1-His and pcDNA3.1A-hIFN-ε-His by PCR was constructed, then the two kinds of plasmids were transfected into WI-38 (human embryonic lung cells ) with liposome. And cytopathic effect (CPE) suppression test was used to study and compare the antiviral activities of rhIFNλ1-His and rhIFN-ε-His, meanwhile MTT assay was used to detect their antineoplastic activities. It was found that, antiproliferative activity and MxA protein induction shown by rhIFN-λ1-His is more powerful than of rhIFN-ε -His. The antiviral molecular mechanisms of both hIFN-λ1 and hIFN-ε are related to MxA. The foundation for further study on the bioactivities and mechanism of action of hIFN-λ1 and hIFN-ε was established.

Objective To investigate the effects of inhibitor of growth 5 (ING5) gene on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and cell cycle of human breast cancer Bcap-37 cells.Methods The eukaryotic ING5-expressing plasmid and GFP-empty plasmid were steadily transfected in Bcap-37 cells, the expression of green fluorescent protein was measured with fluorescence microscopy, and the high expression of ING5 was measured by real time-PCR. Bcap-37-ING5 cells served as the experimental group, Bcap-37-GFP cells as the mock group and Bcap-37 as the control group. The effects of ING5 on the proliferation were detected by MTT, the cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by Flow cytometry, and the cell migration was detected by cell wound scratch assay and Transwell experiment.Results Bcap-37 cell lines steadily expressing ING5 protein with GFP-tag were acquired by stable transfection. ING5 over-expression inhibited the proliferation and led to G2 arrest of Bcap-37 cells, increased cells apoptosis and decreased the cell migration ability (P<0.05).Conclusion ING5 over-expression may have reverse effect for malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells, and may be employed to indicate the biomarker of prognosis of breast cancer patients and regarded as a target of gene therapy.
