Objective: Based on tumor angiogenesis theory, a target system of tumor endothelial cells was established to investigate the cytotoxicity against tumor vascular endothelium by an drug loaded immunoliposome.Methods: Sterically stabilized liposomes containing doxorubicin were used for conjugation to a monoclonal antibody (MAb) as a drug-vascular targeting device. The MAb M5/114 directly against MHC Ⅱ, which was expressed by vascular endothelial cells was employed. Binding of cholesteryl ether (CHE) labeled anti-MHC Ⅱ immunoliposomes to endothelial cells (SVEC ) in vitro was detected by a binding assay. Cytotoxicity of drug loaded immunoliposome to endothelial cells was determined by MTT assay.Results: At least 3-fold increase in binding for the targeted liposomes was observed. This data suggest highly selective binding of M5/114-immunoliposomes to MHC Ⅱ expressing endothelial cells. Moreover, the cytotoxicity produced by drug loaded M5/114-immunoliposome was greatly enhanced compared with that by non-targeted liposomes. Conclusion: This is the first report using immunoliposome to target endothelial cells. The results demonstrate that immunoliposome directly against tumor vascular endothelial cells might provide a general treatment for solid tumors.

Fifty eight patients with infrarenal AAA and 2 patients with suprarenal AAA underwent elective graft replacement operation; 12 patients with ruptured AAA underwent urgent graft replacement operation. Results Fifty eight patients with infrarenal AAA and 2 patients with suprarenal AAA were cured and 2 patients with infrarenal AAA died of multiple organ failure after elective graft replacement operation, the 30 day mortality rate in patients with infrarenal AAA after elective operation was 3.45%. Seven patients were cured and 5 patients died of multiple organ failure after urgent graft replacement operation, the 30 day mortality rate was 41.67%. Conclusion The elective graft replacement operation in patients with AAA is a safe and effective surgical approach under the improvement of surgical technique and management of perioperative period.

Objective:To explore the expression of MMP-3 and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer(EMMPRIN)in benign and malignant breast lesions and its relevance.Methods:Using immunohistochemical method,we examined the expression of MMP-3 and EMMPRIN proteins in 58 breast cancer specimens,28 premalignant lesions,40 hyperplasia specimens,40 benign tumor specimens and 20 normal breast tissues.The expression of MMP-3 mRNA and EMMPRIN mRNA was examined using in situ hybridization in 20 breast cancer specimens,20 premalignant lesions,20 hyperplasia specimens,20 benign tumor specimens and 20 normal breast tissues.The values of integral optic density(IOD)of the expression was calculated by image analysis system.Results:The expression of MMP-3 and EMMPRIN proteins and mRNA was stronger in breast cancer and premalignant lesions than in the other lesions.The IODs of MMP-3 and EMMPRIN proteins and mRNA in breast cancer and premalignant lesion were significantly higher than those of hyperplasia,benign tumors and normal breast tissues(P

Objective To present and summarize the data concerning the diagnosis and treatment of popliteal aneurysm in our hospital. Methods The data of popliteal aneurysm in our hospital from 1975 to 2004 were reviewed and analyzed. Eleven patients with 11 diseased limbs were treated, including 8 males and 3 females, age from 21 years to 64 years 〔(48.54?13.66) years〕. The combined diseases include syphilis, rheumatic heart disease and chronic obstructire pulmonary disease etc. Ten patients received operations, including endoaneurysmorrhaphy (n=4) and graft bypass after aneurysmal resection (n=6), through posterior approach (n=7) or medial approach (n=3). One patient, combined with advanced syphilis and heart failure, received conservative treatment because of his poor general condition. Results The common clinical manifestations included popliteal pulsating mass, claudication, difficulty in extension of the knee, pain etc. Acute ischemia occurred in 3 limbs. The diameter of popliteal aneurysms varied from 4-13 cm 〔(6.73?2.69) cm〕. There were 3 (27.3) cases of ruptured aneurysms whose diameters were 7 cm, 7 cm and 11 cm respectively. Special examinations included arteriography and Doppler sonography. Pathological results of these patients were pseudoaneurysm (n=3), syphilitic aneurysm (n=3) and atherosclerotic aneurysm (n=4). Two patients were not followed up, and postoperative follow up of the other 8 patients ranged from 18 months to 30 years. In the group of endoaneurysmorrhaphy, postoperative gangrene of the affected limb occurred in one patient, and above-knee amputation was performed. One patient suffered from intermittent claudication in the group of endoaneurysmorrhaphy and of graft bypass respectively. No manifestations of limb ischemia were found in the other 5 patients during the time of follow up. Conclusion General utilization of Doppler sonography in screening high risk patients might be helpful to detect popliteal aneurysm. For symptomatic popliteal aneurysm or asymptomatic popliteal aneurysm with diameter larger than 3 cm, operation is indicated. Asymptomatic popliteal aneurysms no more than 3 cm in diameter could be monitored with care.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of Mfn2(mitofusin 2) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and non-cancerous lung tissues,and analyze its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of lung carcinomas.Methods:The expressions of Mfn2 mRNA and protein in 92 cases of NSCLC tissues and 27 cases of non-cancerous lung tissues were detected by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical methods. Results:The positive rates of Mfn2 mRNA and protein in pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma were higher than those in adenocarcinoma (83.33% and 89.58% vs 56.82% and 65.91%), respectively. The positive rates of Mfn2 mRNA and protein in NSCLC were higher than those in the non-cancerous lung tissues (25.93% and 29.63%) . The difference was statistically significant among the three groups (P<0.001 and P<0.01). The expressions of Mfn2 mRNA and protein in well-differentiated (93.75% and 100%) and moderately-differentiated NSCLC (91.67% and 91.67%) were higher than those in poor-diffe-rentiated NSCLC (21.43% and 42.86%). The difference was significant (P<0.001). The expressions of Mfn2 mRNA and protein had no correlation with the gender, age, tumor size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). The expression of Mfn2 mRNA was consistent with that of Mfn2 protein in NSCLC.Conclusion:Mfn2 was involved in the initiation and progression of lung cancer, and the expression of Mfn2 was related to the histological types of lung cancer and its differentiation degree.

Objective To investegate the effect of phosphorylated-P38 MAPK(mitogen-activated protein kinase) on the expression of caspase-3 in the substania nigra (SN) of MPTP-induced mouse model of(PD). Methods Mice were randomly divided into MPTP model group, which were treated with MPTP and inhibitor group. Once a day for 5 days; control group was treated with saline and DMSO as much as the model group received per day for 5 days. The behavioral were observed, immunohistochemistry and Western blot for TH, caspase-3 and phosphorylation of P38 MAPK were used to observe the change of positive cell number and the expression level in the SN of midbrain. Results Compared with the mice in control group, the model group showed typical symtoms of PD with decreased numbers of TH-positive neurons and the protein level of TH in SN of the midbrain by about 60% and 65% respec-tively(P<0.01) , the numbers of caspase-3 and phosphorylation of P38 MAPK immunoreactive cells and their protein level in the SN of the midbrain increased markedly (P<0.01). After giving SB203580, the above changes were reduced obviously (P <0. 01). Conclusion In the mouse model of subacute Parkinson's disease induced by MPTP, phosphorylated-P38 MAPK regulated caspase-3 in the SN of midbrain, the specific P38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 is neurologically oprotective to the mouse model.
