Objective To have a general picture the history and existing problems of independent clinical labs in China, for the purpose of building a supervision mechanism for such novel clinical institutions-clinical labs. Methods By way of the nationwide network of clinical labs, ICLs in China were surveyed with written questionnaires and field check. Results ICLs have grown into a greater and diversified scale thanks to the development of China's economy and laboratory technology. However,such vulnerabilities as unbalanced staff ratio, full-range quality control bugs, cutthroat competition,asymmetrical information disclosure, and bio-safety have loomed large in the meantime. Conclsion It is time to formulate a stricter industry access system and appropriate regulatory modes; ICLs should take a good care of the "Four relations" in their development, and health regulators should play a tighter role in the "Four supervisions". All these aim at better sharing medical resources, and building a win-win environment for the people, hospitals and ICLs.

Objective To investigate the effects of periplocin from Cortex Periplocae (CPP) on apoptosis of human lung cancer A549 cells and expression of survivin, and demonstrate its anti-tumor effect and the possible mechanism. Methods Inhibitory effect of CPP at different concentrations (1. 25, 2. 50, 5. 00, 10. 00, 20. 00 ng·mL-1 ) and for different time length (24, 48, 72 h) on A549 cell proliferation was tested by MTT method. Apoptosis rate of A549 cells treated with CPP at different concentrations (2. 50, 5. 00, 10. 00 ng·mL-1 ) were measured using flow cytometry (FCM) for 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 h, respectively. The morphological and ultrastructural changes of the apoptosis cells were observed by acridine orange/ ethidium bromide (AO/ EB) staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of CPP on mRNA and protein expression of apoptosis associated gene survivin were assessed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results CPP could significantly inhibit the growth of A549, and the inhibition rate reached (93. 46±2. 35)% . The results of FCM showed that the apoptosis rate of A549 cells treated with CPP was increased significantly as compared to the control group ( P<0. 05). Meanwhile, typical apoptotic peaks were detected. The characteristic morphological changes of apoptosis were observed in A549 exposed to CPP, including cell shrinkage, the nuclei became yellow-red by AO/ EB staining, and typical ultrastructural changes, including nuclear chromatin condensation along the nuclear membrane, vacuolar degeneration of cytoplasm observed by TEM. The result of RT-PCR indicated that survivin mRNA expression decreased obviously in A549 cells exposed to CPP. The protein expression of survivin in A549 cells treated with 10. 0 ng·mL-1 CPP(0. 251±0. 012)was weaker than that in control group(0. 928±0. 016). Conclusion CPP can induce apoptosis in human lung cancer cell lines A549, and the probable mechanism is related to the down-regulation of survivin mRNA and protein.

Purpose To investigate the expression of Periostin and VEGF protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and their significance. Methods Immunohistochemical staining (SP method) was used to detect Periostin and VEGF expression in 130 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 130 cases of normal esophageal mucosa tissues. Results There was a significantly difference between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and normal esophageal mucoma ( P<0. 05 ) . The expression of Periostin was related to the depth of invasion and the metastasis of lymph node (P<0. 05). A dramatic correlation has been found in the expression of VEGF to the degrees of differentiation, the depth of invasion and the metastasis of lymph node (P<0. 05). The expression of Peri-ostin was also positively correlated with the expression of VEGF (P<0. 05). Follow-up data was available in 66 cases with a range of 1 to 48 months. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed survival rate of Periostin-positive group was significantly lower than that of Perios-tin-negative group (P<0. 05). The survival rate of VEGF-positive group was significantly lower than that of VEGF-negative group (P<0. 05). Conclusion The expression of Periostin has a close relationship with VEGF in the carcinogenesis, combined detection of both Periostin and VEGF can become an objective target to evaluate Potentials of invasion and lymph node metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which has a great significance to the judgment of prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
