Aim To investigate the reversal effect of cinobufacine(Cino)on adrimycin(ADM)resistant human breast cancer cell line MCF-7/ADM.Methods The cytotoxic effect of Cino or ADM and the sensitivity of ADM to cells was determined by MTT assay.The intracellular concentration of ADM was detected by HPLC. The expression of P-glycoprotein(P-gp)was examined by flow cytometric(FCM) .Results The maximum non-toxic dose Cino(15 mg?L-1) increased the sensitivity of ADM in MCF-7/ADM,decreased the IC50 of ADM in MCF-7/ADM from 38.14 mg?L-1 to 12.93 mg?L-1, and significantly increased the intracellular concentration of ADM in MCF-7/ADM and reduced the expression of P-glycoprotein.Conclution The results showed that Cino can partially reverse multidrug resistance(MDR)of MCF-7/ADM cells and the mechanism might be associated with the increase of intracellular accumulation of ADM and the reduced expression of P-glycoprotein(P-gp)in MCF-7/ADM cells.

Phage display is a new technology developed in recent years. Random peptides displayed on the filamentous phage surface offer a rich source of molecular diversity in searching for ligands that bind an antibody, receptor and other proteins. The phage display system has been effective in the discovery of various ligands. Potential applications of the peptide library include investigation of the protein protein interactions and discovery of mimetic drug candidates.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that monocytes can transdifferentiate into vascular endothelial cells under the induction of various factors including vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF).It remains poorly understood whether monocytes can be induced to transdifferentiate into lymphatic endothelial cells in vitro.OBJECTIVE:To explore the possibility of the transdifferentiation of monocytes into lymphatic endothelial cells under inflammatory condition.METHODS:Fresh monocytes from peripheral blood were collected by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and cultured in an endothelial cell medium,followed by incubation in fibronectin-plated well or treated with tumor necrosis factor a for 24 hours,respectively.The expression of specific markers of lymphatic endothelial cells,such as LYVE-1,Podoplanin,Porx-1 and VEGF receptor 3(VEGFR-3),as well as the endothelial cells markers,such as vWF,endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)and VEGFR-2,were detected by RT-PCR and immunochemical methods.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Prior to induction,monocytes were positive to LYVE-1,but negative for Podoplanin,Porx-1,and VEGFR-3,vWF,eNOS,as well as VEGFR-2.Following induction,the cultured mononcytes were positive for Podoplanin,Prox-1 and VEGFR-3,but remained negative for vWF,eNOS and VEGFR-2.It suggested that monocytes can be induced to express the markers of lymphatic endothelial cells stimulated by fibronectin or tumor necrosis factor a.

ObjectiveTo explore the application value of acoustic radiation force impulse(ARFI) in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions.Methods Eighty six patients with 107 lesions were performed ARFI elastography.The stiffness of the masses in virtual touch tissue image(VTI) were scored.The pathological diagnosis as the gold standard,drawed the ROC curve to find the cut off point of area ratio to predict breast cancer.Shear wave velocity(SWV) within the breast masses were measured using virtual touch tissue quantification(VTQ) technique.ResultsThe elastography hardness score higher than grade 4 was mainly distributed in the malignancies compared to benign lesions( P ＜0.01).1.53 as the cut-off point of area ratio,sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing breast cancer were 95.7 ％,92.5 ％.SWV of malignant group higher than benign group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.001 ).Conclusions Hardness score in VTI imaging,area ratio of benign and malignant lesions,SWV within the breast masses can help the differential diagnosis of breast lesions.

Objective: To study the influence of inflammatory cytokine TNF-? on the expression of adhesion molecules and specific markers of rat MSCs, and to study the optimal stimulation of MSCs with inflammatory factors in inducing adhesion molecule expression which promotes migration of MSCs to the ischemic area in liver. Methods: The MSCs stimulated with different concentration of TNF-? were detected for adhesion molecules and stem cells markers on cell surface with the method of flow-cytometry, MSCs which were stimulated with the optimal concentration of TNF-? and labeled with 1, 1-Dioctadecyl-3, 3, 3, 3-tetramethylindocarbocyanine Iodade(DiI)were delivered intravenously to the rats whose liver was injured by ischemia, the liver function of the experimented animals were tested, and liver samples in the ischemic area were obtained, the number of MSCs was counted under a fluorescent microscope. Results: Stimulated with TNF-?, MSC ex-pression of VCAM-1 increased, while that of stem cell markers did not change markedly. Exposed to lower concentration of TNF-?, the adhesion ability of MSCs obviously increased and more MSCs rested in the ischemic areas in the rat liver, compared to the control groups. Conclusions: TNF-? can increase the expression of VCAM-1 on rat MSCs while exert little effect on the stem cell character of MSCs. Suitable concentration of TNF-? can promote MSCs migration to the damaged tissue, which provides rationale for the treatment of liver disease.

Objective To investigate the methods and effectiveness of heterotopic reconstruetion of hepatic artery in orthotopic liver transplantation. Methods The methods of heterotopic hepatic artery reconstruction and postoperative management of 36 cases of recipient vascular anomalies among 440 cases of liver transplantation performed in our hospital over a ten year period,were retospectively analysed. Results In 10 of 36 recipients the donor hepatic artery was anastomosed to recipient infrarenal aorta ,10 to the suprarenal aorta ,4 to the left gastric artery and 2 to the splenic artery. Five patients died perioperatively with patency of hepatic artery, and 31 recipients have survived for 3 to 48 months without hepatic artery complications; 1 patient had to receive liver retransplantation because of ischemic necrosis of bile duct. Conclusions In cases of disease or anomaly of recipient hepatic artery during liver transplantation,the heterotopic reconstruction of donor hepatic artery to the infarenal or suprarenal aorta,splenic artery or left gastric artery of the reeipient is indicated,and the results are satisfactory.

Objective To analyze the surgical procedure and effect of living-related small bowel transplantation(LR-SBTx) on intestinal function failure caused by short bowel syndrome.Methods A boy, 15 years of age with short gut syndrome, who had only 8 cm of residual small intestine, associated with serious malnutrition and poor D-xylase absorption test (0.226/5h). The donor was the boy's mother. They had a match of 4 loci in HLA. In the first stage of the surgical procedure, 120 cm of ileum from the patient′s mother was transplanted into the recipient. Both ends of the transplanted intestine were exteriorized as stomas on the patient′s abdominal wall. The second stage of reconstruction of the intestine was carried out 6 months after his first operation. The residual small bowel of the recipient was transected, and both of its ends were respectively anastomosed end-to-side to the proximal and distal segments of the graft. The stomas of the graft were left in place. Results The donor and recipient operation went on smoothly. Acute rejection and infection of CMV developed postoperatively and were cured after treatment. The patient was followed-up for 8 months, the graft function recovered gradually postoperatively with increase of body weight. He can ingest a semifluid diet and take care of himself independently. Conclusions LR-SBTx is an effective way to treat short bowel syndrome. The reconstruction of the intestine in two stages for LR-SBTx decreased the risk of complications. Rejection and infection are important risk factors of LR-SBTx.
