Objective To investigate the inhibition effects of different antihistamines on the expressions of chemokines and cytokines released by nasal polyps in vitro.Methods The fresh nasal polyps resected under endoscope from the patients admitted to our hospital were cultured with mizolastine,cetirizine,loratadine,fexofenadine,dexamethasone,or ciclosporin A respectively for 24 h,with the addition of histamine and arachidonic acid.The total RNA of polyps was obtained and purified with tripure isolation reagent.The mRNA expression levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1),monocyte chemoattractant protein-3(MCP-3),regulated on activation,normal T cell expressed and secreted(RANTES),eotaxin were analyzed by RT-PCR.The concentrations of interleukin(IL)-4,IL-5 and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)in cultured supernatant was detected by ELISA.Results The MCP-1 mRNA expression in nasal polyps treated by mizolastine was weaker than those by loratadine and fexofenadine;the MCP-3 mRNA expression by mizolastine was weaker than those by cetirizine and loratadine;the RANTES mRNA expression by mizolastine was weaker than those by loratadine and fexofenadine;the eotaxin mRNA expression by mizolastine was weaker than that by cetirizine(all P

Objective To investigate the effect of two kinds of injected biomaterial combined with bone morphological protein (BMP) on tendon-to-bone healing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL) in rabbits. Methods ACL reconstruction was performed bilaterally in 50 skeletally mature rabbits using long digital extensor tendon grafts. Injected fibrin glue (FG) or injected calcium phosphate cements (CPC) combined with BMP were implanted into the treated knee of each rabbit,with the contralateral knees as controls. Every three rabbits were killed at 2,6 and 12 weeks postoperatively for routine histological studies. The samples were processed through Micro CT and subsequent HE and toludine blue staining. The remaining 16 rabbits were sacrificed at 6 and 12 weeks. Their femur-tendon graft-tibia complexes were harvested for subsequent mechanical testing. Results Imageological results showed that 6 weeks after operation,bone mineral density (BMD) values in FG-bBMP group were higher than those in CPC-bBMP group. However,12 weeks after operation,BMD values in CPC-bBMP group were the highest in the three groups. Histological findings of the interface between the tendon and bone differed in the three groups. Two weeks after operation,more chondrocyte-like cells that were fairly disorganized were noted between the tendon and bone in FG-bBMP group. Six weeks after operation,mature bone formation around the tendon was observed in FG-bBMP group while more immature bone ingrew toward implanted tendon in CPC-bBMP group; at 12 weeks,more chondrocyte cells and new bone formation were seen in CPC-bBMP group while a small quantity of mature bone was around tendon in FG-bBMP group. In biomechanical evaluation,the maximum pull-out load of the tendon from the bone tunnel was significantly higher in the two treatment groups than in the control group 6 and 12 weeks after operation (P

The development of the argentaffin cell of the human gastro-intestinal tract is studied in 31 embryos and foetuses at closely graded stages of development. These cells are first seen in the epithelium of the duodenum at 47mm stage, but they do not assume their typical morphology. There are only a few argyrophile granule present around their nucleus. At the 89.3 mm stage the argentaffin cells appear in various parts of gastrointestinal tract and assume the typical morphology of infranuclear distribution of granules.The argentaffin cells assume various forms in sections: round, squamous, columnar, spindle, pyramidal, hammer-like, and flask-shaped. In gastric mucosa they are small, squamous or pyramical cells. They lie on the basal lamina with their apical ends not reaching to the stomach cavity. In intestine they are large columnar, spindle, pyramidal or flask-shaped cells. Their apical ends reach the luman. Sometimes their basal pole may penetrate to the lamina propria. In addition to these cells, in intestine there are also round argentaffin cells lacking luminal contact, with its argentaffin granules scattered here and there all over the cytoplasm. These difference in cell shape, granules distribution and luminal endings are likely related to the functional specialization, of argentaffin cell in different areas.Although most of the argentaffin cells are scattered singly in mucous epithelium, sometimes they may be present by twos and threes, and in appendix, they are often arranged in line. No argentaffin cell can be seen in any other part of the gut. They are differentiated in situ from epithelium. Therefore, we favor the idea that argentaffin cells are endodermal in origin.At the early embryo stage, the argentaffin cells are more numerous in villi, less numerous in intestinal crypt. As the embryo develops, they gradually increase in number both in villi and crypt (glands), but are more numerous in glands. In new born foetus the argentaffin cells are mainly scattered in glands.The argentaffin cells are very numerous in duodenum and particularly in appendix, less in stomach except pylorus. They are not found in esophagus.At various stages of development of the embryo the argentaffin cells are quite different in number. At the beginning, they are scarce. Following the development of embryos, their numbers increase rapidly and reach their maximum number at 21 weeks, 22 weeks and 23 weeks of age respectively. Thereafter the argentaffin cells decrease in number gradually, but they are still present at new born foetus.

Objective To discuss the ultrasonic anatomy of gastrocnemius and its substructures in normal population. Methods Eighty gastrocnemius in 40 volunteers were scanned by real time high frequency ultrasound. Sonograms of medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius were acquired. Plume angles between medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius were measured at condition of rest, 5 kg and 10 kg isometric contraction. Both dominant and non-dominant legs were evaluated. Differences of plume angles were compared by ANOVA in different conditions and by t test in different legs. Results At the upper part of the muscle, both medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius could be divided into muscular compartment, shallow compartment and deep compartment by hyperechoic intra-muscular septa with clear margin. The septa of lateral heads presented as hyperechoic side-lying′T′, while the septa of medial heads presented as hyperechoic side-lying-′T′. Vascular signals could be detected in these hyperechoic septa. The plume angle at the distal part of the lateral head of gastrocnemius was composed of shallow compartment attaching to the Achilles tendon, and that of the medial head was composed of medial muscular compartment attaching to the tendon. At rest, 5 kg and 10 kg isometric contraction, plume angles of lateral heads were (13.36±3.20)°, (13.32±3.30)° and (12.75±3.20)°, and plume angles of medial heads were (8.69±3.30)°, (8.59±2.99)° and (8.65±3.20)°. Under the same condition, plume angles of medial heads were larger than those of lateral heads and the difference was statistically signiifcant (t=9.09, 9.50 and 8.10, all P<0.01). Changes of plume angles between rest and different weight bearing conditions were small, and differences were not statistically signiifcant (F=0.89 and 0.02, P=0.41 and 0.98). Plume angles of medial heads in dominant legs and non-dominant legs were (13.66±3.60)° and (13.30±2.84)°, and those of lateral heads were (8.71±3.48)° and (8.80±3.35)°. The plume angles of medial heads were larger in dominant legs than those in non-dominant legs, while the plume angles of lateral heads were smaller in dominant legs than those in non-dominant legs. However, both differences were not statistically signiifcant (t=0.70 and 0.87, P=0.48 and 0.17). Conclusions The anatomical characteristics of medial and lateral heads and compartments of gastrocnemius can be clearly depicted by high frequency ultrasound. Plume angles can also be accurately measured.

The process of lung cancer invasion and metastasis consists of a complex series of multigene and multistep, CD44V6 is a broadly distributed transmembrane glycoprotein, which mainly participates in the specific adhesion process and plays an important role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions.The researches showed that the high expression of CD44V6 was helpful for metastasis ability of tumor cell. MMps is a groups of metal hydronium depend-proteinase, it exhibits proteolytic activity against components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The recent study indicated that MMps has been played important roles not only in degradation of ECM proteins, but also in the regulation of tumorigenesis. Combined with two marker might be an important significant to judge prognosis ,metastasis and development.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of RLIP76 in regulating multi-drug resistance in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and to analyze the relationship between its expression and prognosis.

METHODSThe expressions of RLIP76 protein and gene were detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR (RT-PCR) in both the chemosensitive SCLC H69 cell line and chemoresistant H69AR cell line, respectively. siRNA was transfected into the H69AR cells to inhibit RLIP76 expression, and eGFP-RLIP76 was transfected into the H69 cells to enhance RLIP76 expression. The drug-sensitivity of cells to chemotherapeutic drugs (ADM, DDP, VP-16) were detected by CCK8 assay. The expression of RLIP76 in the SCLC tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship of RLIP76 expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients was analyzed.

RESULTSThe expression of RLIP76 in H69AR cells was 13.675 ± 0.983, significantly higher than 1.074 ± 0.107 in the H69 cells (P < 0.01). The drug-sensitivities of H69AR cells to chemotherapeutic drugs were significantly increased when the expression of RLIP76 was down-regulated (P< 0.001). The sensitivities of H69 cells to chemotherapeutic drugs ADM, DDP and VP-16 were significantly decreased after transfection with eGFP-RLIP76 up-regulating the RLIP76 expression (P = 0.003). The positive expression rates were 61.3% and 9.4% in the SCLC tumor tissues and para-cancerous tissues, respectively (P < 0.01). The expression of RLIP76 was significantly correlated with clinical stage, chemosensitivity and overall survival of the SCLC patients (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSOur results suggest that RLIP76 is involved in the regulation of small cell lung cancer multidrug resistance. RLIP76 may serve as a potential target gene to evaluate the chemosensitivity and clinical prognostic for small cell lung cancer.
