To explore a new mode of teaching activities and management of clinical practice, our hospital adopted various methods, including computer training and exams, selecting practice guiding experts among the three level specialties, establishing labs for the operation of basic skills, using credit books for trainees and adopting integrated education on disease entities. In the past, teachers could teach and set exams in whatever way they liked and students did not have enough opportunities to come across various disease entities or to operate with their hands. Now such shortcomings have been overcome. Students can receive comprehensive, systematic and standard training in clinical operations. At the same time, their quality with regard to professional knowledge and ethics has also been enhanced.

Objective To explore the relationship between WWOX gene and attachment and adhesion of ovarian cancer. Methods The expression of WWOX mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, the expression of the WWOX protein was evaluated by western blot in WWOX-transfected PEO1 cells (H6, H7, H8 cell) and vector-transfected control cells (vec-1, vec-2 cell). Attachment assay was used to assess the adhesion of the tranafection in PEOI cells via culturing the cells on the pre-coated fibronectin wells. RNA interference (RNAi) was used to knockdown the endogenous expression of WWOX in the A2780 ovarian cancer cell line by liposome. Attachment assay was detected the adhesion to fibronectin after gene silencing. Restdts RT-PCR showed that expression of mRNA WWOX in exon9 was in all transfection cells (H6, H7, H8, vec-1, vec-2 cell ). Western blot showed that expression of WWOX protein was in the WWOX-transfected cells (H6, H7, H8 cell ), but not in the vector-transfected cells (vec-1, vec-2 cell ). Attachment assay showed that H6, H7, H8 cell (0.098±0.003, 0.091±0.004, 0.099±0.003) adhered more slowly to fibronectin than vec-1, vec-2 cell (0.185±0.003, 0.175±0.006) and non-transfected PEO1 cell (0.211±0.007), and demonstrated significantly reduced adhesion after 2 hours (P < 0.01). A2780 adhesive cells that WWOX gene be knockdown was 0.059±0.005, adhered more significantly rapid than those untreated cells that was 0.029±0.003 after treated 30 minutes (P < 0.05 ). Conclusions WWOX gene can suppress adhesion to fibronectin in ovarian cancer cells. This suggests an important role for loss of WWOX gene in promoting attachment and adhesion of ovarian cancer cells on loco-regional peritoneum, and further resulting in enhancing loco-regional peritoneal tumor invasiveness and spread.

Background and purpose:The occurrence of endometrial cancer may be related to the persistent stimulus of endogenous and exogenous estrogen without progesterone antagonist. But how does estrogen regulate cell proliferation is still unknown. AKT pathway is the most important signal transduction way to mediate proliferation in the cells. The main aim was to study whether estradiol induces the expression of VEGF, bFGF and IL-8 in the endometrial cancer HEC-1A cells by activating AKT, and its effect on proliferation. Methods:Western blot was used to detect the expression of AKT protein in HEC-1A cells after estradiol stimulation, AKT inhibitor or ER inhibitor stimulation followed by estradiol. Real-time PCR and ELISA were used to detect the gene and protein expression of VEGF, bFGF and IL-8 in different inhibitors. Cell colony formation assay, lfow cytometry and CFSE assay were used to examine the proliferation in HEC-1A cells. Results:The expression of p-AKT protein in HEC-1A cells after stimulation with estradiol was markedly higher than that in the control group (P=0.006 2);the expression of p-AKT protein in AKT inhibitor group and ER inhibitor group were signiifcantly decreased than that in estradiol group (P=0.006 0, P=0.006 4). qPCR and ELISA showed the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF, bFGF, IL-8 in estradiol group were signiifcantly increased than that in control group (P<0.05);The expressions of VEGF, bFGF, IL-8 in AKT inhibitor group and ER inhibitor group were signiifcantly decreased than that in estradiol group (P<0.01). The abilities of proliferation and cell cycle were signiifcantly increased in HEC-1A cells after estradiol stimulation. Conclusion:Estrogen induces the production of VEGF, bFGF and IL-8 through activating AKT signal pathway.

Objective To observe the effect of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on type 2 diabetic rats, and to explore the possible mechanism. Methods Type 2 diabetic rats were induced by high-fat diet combined with a low dosage of streptozotocin ( STZ, 25 mg/ kg). After 3 × 106 hMSCs suspended in 1 ml PBS or 1ml 10-fold concentrated hMSC supernatant were intravenously infused into the rats via the tail vein, the blood glucose levels were measured every day. One week later, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test were performed to evaluate the effects of hMSCs on diabetic rats. Pancreatic tissues were collected for insulin/ glucagon immunofluorescence staining. Results After hMSCs infusion, blood glucose level and homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index were significantly decreased in type 2 diabetic rats(both P<0. 01). The glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance were greatly alleviated by hMSCs(all P<0. 01). Intravenously infused 1ml 10-fold concentrated hMSC supernatant showed a similar result to hMSCs. Conclusion In type 2 diabetic rats, hMSCs are able to effectively lower the blood glucose level, improve insulin sensitivity, and increase the number of β cells, which seems to be mediated by their secreted molecules.

Objective To discuss the risk factors and prognosis of gynecologic cancer patients with deep venous thrombosis(DVT). Methods Data from gynecologic cancer patients diagnosed by cytology or histopathology in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between Jan. 1994 and Sep. 2014 were collected,including 106 cases in the DVT group, according to 1:1 proportion by the computer random method to selecting patients without DVT as the control group. The follow-up deadline was March 31, 2015. The median follow-up time of DVT group was 27.0 months (range, 1 to 169 months), while the control groupwas 33.5 months (range,1 to 125 months). Univariate analysis was performed by two independent sample t test or χ2 test. Multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression analysis. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to estimate the survival analysis. Results (1) The univariate analysis showed that body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, history of thrombosis, tumor stage, blood transfusion, stimulating factor, white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT), prothrombin time (PT) and fibrinogen (FIB) were statistically significant associated with DVT (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that tumor stage, stimulating factor, WBC, PT and FIB may be the independent risk factors of gynecologic cancer with DVT (P<0.05). (2) The median survival time in DVT group was 66 months, while the control group was 102 months(χ2=7.039, P=0.008). The overall survival and progression-free survival in the DVT group were statistically significant lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The tumor stage, the scope of DVT (whether with pulmonary embolism) and the treatment of DVT were the effective factors influenced the prognosis of gynecologic oncology patients with DVT (P<0.05). Cox regression model showed that tumor stage and the scope of DVT were the independent risk factors (P<0.01). Conclusions Gynecologic cancer with DVT is the common effect of various risk factors. We should identify the risk factors for high-risk patients and take preventive measures actively to reduce the deep venous thromboembolism, then improve the survival of patients and their prognosis.
