Urinary and sexual dysfunction is common complication after surgical treatment for rectal cancer patients,and many studies were carried out for these complications.This article reviewed the literatures on clinical research of urogenital function after operations of rectal cancer.

Tumor metastasis to sentinel lymph nodes represents the first step of tumor dissemination in most human cancers and serves as a major prognostic indicator for disease progression.Recent studies have revealed that tumor lymphangiogenesisis correlated with lymph node metastasis in experimental cancer models and in several types of human Cancers.Metastatic tumor cells may continue to promote lymphatic vessel growth even after their metastasis to sentinel lymph nodes,likely promoting further cancer spread.Vascular endothelial growth factor-C(VEGF-C)and VEGF-D are the first specific lymphangiogenesis factor identified,and a large number of clinical studies have shown a correlation between tumor expression of VEGF-C or VEGF-D and lymph node metastasis.Additional tumor lymphangiogenesis factors have been recently identifled,including VEGF-A.Importantly,blockade of the VEGFR-3 pathway by specific antibodies,by soluble receptor constructs,and by small molecule kinase iubibitors efficiently inhibits experimental tumor lymphangiogenesis and metastasis and might also represent a novel therapeutic avenue for the treatment of human cancers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the culture conditions of skin-derived precursors (SKPs) and to explore a new cell source for central nervous system cell transplantation.MethodCells from skins of juvenile and adult mice were isolated and cultured in serum -free medium, and mechanical methods were adapted to passage these cells and ce lls were identified by immunocytochemistry.ResultsA population of SKPs could be isolated from adult and neonatal skins. They co uld be maintained in vitro for extended periods with stable population doubling, and they were expanded as undifferentiated cells in culture for more than 8 pas sages, indicating their proliferative capacity. About 50?% of SKPs expressed n estin and the majorities of these cells expressed fibronectin when they were pla ted on polyornithine and laminin coated plates. About 5?% cells showed typical complicated neuronal states and expressed NF-M and NSE when SKPs were plated i n serum-containing medium. These cell could also differentiate into adipocytes and fibroblast-like cells.ConclusionsAdult skin contains stem cells capable of differentiating into neurons, adipocyt es and fibroblast-like cells. SKPs may represent an alternative autologous stem cell source for CNS cell transplantation.

Lymph node metastasis is a main route of metastasis for rectal cancer,and skip metastasis is an im portant characteristic.Many cases were found metastasis or micrometastasis in lateral or upper lymph node before the definite metastasis in mesenterium lymph node.To exactly check and diagnose the lymphnode metastasis can help manage CLIN,and influence the prognosis.In reeent years,progress has achieved in the study of lymphnode micrometestasis,and it is really a promotion for the management of rectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphism of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)-31,-511C/T and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods Two hundred and sixty patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were selected as our subjects who were hospitalized in General Hospital of Kailuan from January 2009 to June 2012.At same time,the 260 healthy controls were recruited in medical examine center.The data was collected by the physical examination and a unified questionnaire.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the level of IL-1β in serum.Polymerize chain reaction-Restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RLFP) was used to detect the genotypes of IL-1β (-31,-511).Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relations between risk factors with susceptibility of COPD.Results The level of serum IL-1β was (3.92 ± 0.42) μg/L in COPD group,higher than that in control group ((2.69 ± 0.11) μg/L,t =12.889,P ＜ 0.001).The frequency of genotype of IL-1β-31 site in COPD group were 20.8％ (54/260) for TT,58.1％ (151/260) for CT and 21.2％ (55/260) for CC respectively.Meanwhile IL-1β-31 genotype rate were 19.2％ (50/260),58.8％ (153/260) and 21.9％ (57/260) respectively in control group and no significant difference was found between two groups (x2 =0.203,P =0.904).The frequency of genotype of IL-1β-511 site were 20.0％ (52/260) for CC,63.1％ (164/260) for CT and 16.9％ (44/260) for TT in COPD group.The three genotype rate in control group were 21.9％ (57/260),60.8％ (158/260) and 17.3％ (45/260) respectively,and no significant difference was found between two groups (x2 =0.352,P =0.838).Moreover there was also no significant difference in terms of gender(P ＞ 0.05)Conclusion The concentration of IL-1β in serum in COPD group was higher than in control group.The polymorphism of-31 and-511 were proved non association with COPD.

BACKGROUND:There are myoblasts in human embryonic skeletal muscle. It remains poorly understand whether myoblasts in vitro can form myotube and what are the corresponding markers for identifying myoblasts and myotubes. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether in vitro cultured myoblasts from human embryonic skeletal muscle can form myotube and whether they can express neural markers. METHODS:Human embryonic muscle-derived myoblasts were cultured in serum-containing medium. When the primary culture was established, cultured cel s were identified with immunocytochemistry for neural markers, such asβ-tubulin markers (desmin, myogenin, smooth muscle actin and myosin). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A population of myoblasts could migrate from human embryonic muscle tissues. They could express the markers for skeletal muscle such as desmin and myogenin, and they could express neuron specific enolase, nestin and neurofilament 200. They could form myotubes in vitro, and myotubes expressedβⅢ-tubulin, neurofilament 200 and glial fibril ary acidic protein. The data support the hypothesis that myoblasts from human embryonic muscle express neural markers and muscle markers, and cultured myoblasts and myotubes expressed neuron specific enolase,β-tubulin Ⅲ, nestin, neurofilament 200 and glial fibrillary acidic protein. This indicates that these markers could not be used for cel identification of trans-differentiation study from muscle origin to nervous system.

BACKGROUND:Human skin-derived precursors can be cultured for a long term in vitro, and differentiated into neurons, glial cel s, smooth muscle cel s, Schwann cel s and cel s with peripheral neurons phenotype.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the culture conditions and multiple differentiation capacity of multipotential stem cel s from human skin, especial y the potentials of differentiating into neurons and osteoblasts.
METHODS:Human skin-derived precursor cel s were cultured with trypsin digestion method, and identified with immunocytochemistry. Cel s at passages 3-4 were induced to differentiate into neurons and osteoblasts, and underwent von Kossa staining protocol for calcium, chondrocyte induction, toluidine blue staining, immunohistochemical staining and Sudan black staining. The expression of nestin, vimentin,βIII-tubulin, S100 and col agen II in the human skin-derived precursors was detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The human skin-derived precursor cel s cultured with trypsin digestion method could proliferate and form suspending spheres, and nestin positive cel s were detected at any time point of the culture. Al the cultured cel s expressed vimentin, and some adherent cel s expressedβIII-tubulin. Human skin-derived precursor cel s were induced with Salvia miltiorrhiza to differentiate into neuron-like cel s, and expressed marker of nerve cel s. Skin-derived precursors could be induced to differentiate into osteoblasts and von Kossa staining displayed black calcified nodules in the culture dish. Skin-derived precursors could also be induced to differentiate into chondrocytes, and toluidine blue staining was strongly positive, and some cel s expressed col agen II, which suggested that, the differentiated cel s contained chondrocytes. Experimental findings indicate that, skin contains multipotential stem cel s that are capable of differentiating into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, Schwann cel s and oligodendrocytes.

Objective: To investigate the optimal culture conditio ns for adipose tissue-derived stromal cells(ADSCs) and for the induction of these cells to differentiate into osteogenic cells. Methods: ADSCs were cultured with routine methods,bFGF at 20 ng/ml was added into the medium and the proliferative of ADSCs was examined by cell counting. 0.1 ?mol /L of dexamethasone,10 mmol/L of ?-glycerophosphate and 50 ?mol/L of ascorbic acid were adapted to induce the cells to differentiate into osteogenic cells, ADSCs were identified by immunocytochemistry and differentiated osteogenic cells were identified by alkaline phosphatase(AP) staining and immunocytochemistry. Result: A population of ADSCs could be isolated from adul t human adipose tissue,the cells were fibroblast-like and could be maintaine d in vitro for extended periods with stable population doubling.The cells w ere expanded as undifferentiated in culture for more than 10 passages, indicati ng their proliferative capacity.bFGF stimulated the cell proliferation.Dexameth asone,?-glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid induced (40?8.6)% of ADSCs to ex press alkaline phosphatase(AP) ,(35?10.6)% of AP positive ADSCs were found to be collagen I positive. Calcification plaques were occasionally found in the cul tures. Conclusion:The data support the hypothesis that adu lt human adipose tissue contains stem cells capable of diffferentiating into ost eogenic cells.

Objective To study the clinicopathologic characteristics and the prognostic factors of gastric stump cancer (GSC). Methods A total of forty-seven patients with GSC from Jan 2000 to Dec 2006 were enrolled in this study for retrospective analysis. Initial surgery was performed for gastric benign disease in 39 patients and for malignant disease in 8 patients, which were divided into 2 groups for analysis. The prognosis of all 47 patients were analyzed. Results The mean interval between previous gastrectomy and diagnosis of GSC was 24.4 years. Tumor developed mostly in the patients with Billroth- Ⅱ reconstruction, and male more than female. Tumor located at anastomotic site mostly, at stump stomach and cardia secondly. The mean interval for patients who had undergone their first gastrectomy for malignant disease was shorter than that with benign disease(P＜0.05). Histology, therapy and prognosis showed no significant differences between two groups (P＞0.05). Disease TNM stage and total radical gastrectomy were shown to be significant predictor for the outcome of patients with GSC (P ＜0.01). Conclusion Now the GSC patients with initial surgery performed for malignant disease are increased, which are no siginificant different to patients with benign disease. Early diagnosis and an aggressive surgical approach are crucial to achieve better outcomes for patients with GSC.

Objective To investigate the effects of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on the expression of EDA+ FN in granulation tissues of human diabetic foot wounds.Methods Forty patients with diabetic foot wounds fitting the inclusion criteria,admitted from Jan.2014 to Jun.2016,were randomly and equally apportioned to receive either NPWT or conventional gauze therapy (control) for 14 days.Granulated tissue biopsies were collected before (0 day) and after (14 day) treatment in both groups.All biopsies were subdivided into two parts.One part was preserved in 4％ paraformaldehyde for immunocytochemical staining of EDA+FN,and the other part was stored at-80 ℃ for Western blotting and PCR analysis of EDA+FN.Results The immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the mean area density of EDA+ FN increased in both NPWT group and control group at day 14 relative to day 0,but the change value of mean area density was higher in NPWT group than in control group (P＜0.01).Western blotting showed that the relative protein levels of EDA+FN increased in both NPWT group and control group at day 14 relative to day 0,but the change value of relative protein levels of EDA+FN was higher in NPWT group than in control group (P＜0.01).The real time PCR analysis demonstrated that the relative mRNA levels of EDA+ FN increased in both NPWT group and control group at day 14 relative to day 0,but the change value of relative mRNA levels of EDA+ FN was higher in NPWT group than in control group (P＜0.01).The results demonstrated the higher protein and mRNA levels of EDA+FN in NPWT group than that in control group.Conclusion NPWT obviously enhances EDA+FN expression in granulation tissue of diabetic foot wound,as a result promotes wound healing.
