Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2014;(7):649-657
Objective: To investigate the antitumor effect of SGI-1776 on human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods: HO-8910 cells were cultured in vitro, and the proliferation inhibitory effects of SGI-1776 were determined by MTT assay and colony formation assay. The effect of SGI-1776 on the distribution of cell cycle phase was observed by flow cytometry with propidium iodide (PI) staining. hTe inhibition rate of migration and invasion were valued by transwell cell assay. Multiple molecular techniques, such as ELISA, Western blot, siRNA and cDNA transfection were used to explore the molecular mechanism. Results: SGI-1776 presented dramatic anti-tumor activity against HO-8910 cells in vitro, inhibited the cells proliferation and colony formation, and attenuated the migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner, accompanied by cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. SGI-1776 caused the proliferation inhibition with concomitant decrease in Pim-1 kinase activity, down-regulated the expression of Pim-1 protein and and its downstream genes, such as CDK6, pCDK6, CDK4, pCDK4, CDK2 and pCDK2, and increased the expression of P21 and P27. Down-regulation expression of Pim-1 by siRNA followed SGI-1776 treatment resulted in enhanced cell proliferation inhibition rate and attenuated migration/invasion. Up-regulation of Pim-1 by cDNA transfection attenuated SGI-1776-induced cell proliferation inhibition and its migration/invasion. Conclusion: Pim-1 mediates the biological effect of SGI-1776 in human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells, suggesting Pim-1 might be a novel target for human ovarian cancer.

Journal of Practical Radiology 2017;33(2):210-213
Objective To investigate the pulmonary imaging findings and the clinical characteristics of ANCA-associated vasculitis.Methods 16 patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis confirmed by pathology in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively,all patients underwent 1 6-sclice high resolution chest CT scans.The clinical manifestations and lung CT findings of the patients were analyzed.Results The mean age of 1 6 patients (7 male and 9 female)was 62.7 (ranged from 56 to 83).The onset time of the disease was ranged for 1 weeks to 2 years,and it was characterized as multiple organs involvement accompanied by kidney damage with different degrees.The clinical respiratory symptoms inluded fever and cough.The lung HRCT features of ANCA-associated vasculitis were as follows:patchy shadow in 14 cases (87.5%),streak one in 12 (75%),nodular one in 3 (18.8%),cavities in 4 (25%),emphysema and pulmonary bullae in 6 (37.5%),tree-in-bud in 6 (37.5%),pleural effusion in 4 (25%),mediastinal lymph nodes enlargement in 3 (18.8%), pleural thickening in 6 (37.5%),cellular-like in 5 (31.3%),bronchiectasis in 6 (37.5%),round-glass opacity in 10 (62.5%)and reticulate changes in 8 (50%).Some patients were treated by the glucocorticoid (a hormone steroid)or by it in combination with immunosuppressant, and the clinical symptoms were improved and some lesions on X-ray images were significantly reduced or disappeared.Conclusion ANCA-associated vasculitis usually occurs in the majority of middle or old age without gender difference.Multiple organs are easily involved and the lesions in lung may be misdiagnosed as infection.Early CT diagnosis and timely treatment may improve the prognosis.

[Objective]To investigate the technical advantages of micro-CT in the research of three dimensional structure of bone tissues over histological section technology. [Method]Different kinds of bone tissue related specimen were observed by micro-CT and histological section,respectively.The diversity of the sample treatments,result expressions and test data were compared.[Result]Micro-CT showed great advantages in displaying three dimensional structure characteristics of bone tissues.Both quantity and quality changes of bone tissues could be precisely determined by micro-CT which was much better than histological section technology.However,histology showed great advantages in displaying the cell figures,growth and differentiation.[Conclusion]Micro-CT provides a novel test method for both sample treatments and result expressions.Compound with histological technology,micro-CT can display the appearance and structure of bone tissues more sufficiently.

Orthopedic Journal of China 2006;0(03):-
[Objective]To investigate the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis by increasing stiffness of subchondral bone to simulate subchondral bone sclerosis to induce the osteoarthritis.[Methods]The proportion between polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA),methylmethacrylate(MMA),hydroxyapatite(HA) and distilled water was adjusted to keep the maximum reaction temperature under 40℃.The composite material PMMA/HA was obtained and compressed on a mechanical material machine to determine its ultimate strength and stiffness,which were compared with those of subchondral bone.The subchondral bone of medial tibial plateau was scraped,where the composite material PMMA /HA was implanted into.Rabbits were sacrificed at 3,6,9 and 12 weeks,respectively.The articular cartilages of the medial tibial plateau were harvested for histological observation.Immunohistochemical analysis was adopted to record the expression and distribution of collagen type Ⅱ and MMP-1 in cartilage at protein level,which were compared with the blank and control groups.Transmission electron microscope was used to examine the ultramicroscopic changes of chondrocytes in blank and 6,12-week-postsurgery groups.[Results]With the time going,the experimental groups gradually presented degeneration,and had increased histological Mankin score.TEM demonstrated degenerative changes of chondrocytes.Collagen type Ⅱ expressed mainly in transition zone and upper deep zone,and MMP-1 expressed predominantly in the superficial and upper intermediate layers of cartilage.Both expressions steadily increased with time passing.[Conclusion]The increased stiffness of subchondral bone induced osteoarthritis in rabbits,which suggests that subcondral bone sclerosis may induce cartilage damage,and that subcondral bone sclerosis is one of the initial pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.
