Objective: To study the immunohistochemical features and the differential diagnosis of mesenteric fibromatosis (MF), solitary fibrous tumors (SFT)and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods: The expressions of CD117, CD34, ?-catenin, S-100, Desmin, Bcl-2 and Dog-1 of the three tumors were studied by immunohistochemistry method (S-P method). Results: By immunohistochemical staining detection, the expression of ?-catenin in six MF cases were positive, the positive expression rates of CD117 and Dog-1 in GIST cases were 85% and 92% respectively, and the positive expression rates of CD34 and Bcl-2 in SFT were 71% . Conclusion: MF, SFT and GIST can be identified by the combining applying of CD117,CD34 and ?-catenin through the immunohistochemistry method.

Objective:To explore side population(SP) cells in human epithelial cells and to observe the expression of the universal stem cell marker ABCG2,epidermal stem cell markers ?6 integrin and ?1 integrin on SP cells.Methods:Epithelial cells were obtained by digesting human skins with Dispase II and Trypsin and stained with Hoechst33342 and PI.The SP cells were analyzed and sorted by the fluorescence-activated cell sorter.Then the expression of ABCG2,?6 integrin and ?1 integrin was analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:SP cells accounted for 0.2%-0.3% of total human epithelial cells.Only a small part of cells expressed ABCG2,integrin ?6 and integrin ?1 of both SP cells and total human epithelial cells detected by flow cytometry.The difference of positive rates between SP cells and total human epithelial cells was not significant.Conclusion:SP cells accounted for 0.2%-0.3% of total human epithelial cells.The difference of positive rates of stem cells marker ABCG2,integrin ?6 and integrin ?1 between SP cells and total human epithelial cells was not significant.

Aim To investigate the effect of MTX(included(±)MTX,(+)MTX and(-)MTX)on the proliferation of ECV304 cells and to explore its mechanisms.Methods ECV304 cells were cultured.The cell proliferation was determined by MTT.The morphological changes were inspected by inverted microscope.Cell cycle phases were assayed by propidium iodide staining flow cytometry.Results ECV304 cells were treated with(+)MTX,(-)MTX and(±)MTX at 1~150 μmol·L~(-1) for 24,48,72 h.The results showed that the proliferation of ECV304 cells was significantly inhibited under different conditions.The order of the inhibited efficacy was(+)MTX>(±)MTX>(-)MTX.The morphology of ECV304 cells were changed by(+)MTX,(-)MTX and(±)MTX treatment,which included the cell shrinkage,chromatin condensation.After administration of 10 μmol·L~(-1) of(+)MTX,(-)MTX and(±)MTX for 48 h,the cell cycle phases were assayed by propidium iodide staining flow cytometry.The result showed DNA replication was interfered by(+)MTX,(-)MTX and(±)MTX treatment.Conclusions The proliferation of ECV304 cells has the chiral selective effects by(+)MTX and(-)MTX treatment,and the inhibition on ECV304 cells proliferation of(+)MTX is significantly stronger than that of (-)MTX.
