C_3H/10T 1/2 cell line was used for the study of malignant transformation induced by chemical carcinogen-Benzopyren (BP). The results showed that the transformed foci developed in 7—9 weeks after being attacked by BP. The transformed cells separated from the foci lost their ability of post-confluence inhibition of division, and could grow into colony in soft agar medium. The transformed cells have produced sarcoma in situ after inoculation into the immunosuppressed animals. The above results suggest that C_3H/10T(1/2) cell line is very useful for the study of malignant transformation of cells in vitro induced by carcinogens.In chromosome analysis, the changes in number and structure of chromosome in the transformed cells were found. The abnormality of chromosome proved the close relationships between the malignant transformation of cells and the DNA damage induced by chemical carcinogens

Objective To investigate the effect of alendronate combined with calcitriol on bone metabolism in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis patients.Methods66 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients from Cancer Hospital of Hangzhou were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the study group.33 cases in the control group were treated by compound calcium amino acid chelate.33 cases in the study group were treated by compound calcium amino acid chelate, alendronate and alfacalcidol.All patients were taking the drug for 48 weeks.The bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar vertebrae between 4 and 1, Bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and bone metabolism index of left femur (BMD) Type I collagen C end peptide (CTX), acid phosphatase (TRAP), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and clinical curative effect were compared.ResultsAfter treatment, the clinical effective rate of the study group (93.94%) was higher than that of the control group (72.73%), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the level of bone mineral density of lumbar spine was increased from 1 to 4, and the level of TRAP, CTX, PTH and BALP were increased,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no difference in adverse effects between the two groups.ConclusionThe combination of the application of sodium hyaluronate and the combination of the method can effectively improve the bone mineral density and bone metabolism in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, and improve the clinical efficacy.

Studies were carried out on the incidence of SCE and chromosomal aberrations in primary cultured cells of mouse embryo exposed to ~(60)Co-? rays and/or treated with chemical carcinogen——benzopyrene.Result shows in the cultured cells exposed to ~(60)Co-? rays at 50 rads, as compared wtih controls there was no statistically significant change in the frequencies of the appearance of both SCE and chromosomal aberrations, In the cells, however, exposed at 300 rads, the frequencies of SCE and chromosomal aberrations were about 1.3 and 24 times higher than that in the unirradiated controls respectively. In the cultured cells treated with 0.05?g of benzopyrene per millilitre of culture medium, the frequency of SCE were increased by about 1.8 times of that of the control group, while the change of chromosomal aberrations had no statistical significance.From the above results, it was suggested that SCE was proved to be a sensitive indicator for evaluating the effects of chemical carcinogens. There is a remarkable difference existing between the frequencies of SCE and chromosomal aberrations induced by ionizing radiation and chemical carcinogens. The difference seems to have a certain relation to their differences in carcinogenic mechanism and effects on carcinogenesis.It was noted that there are some advantages to utilize primary cultured cells of mouse embryo as target cells.

In this experiment, primary mixed culture cells of lung and liver derived from new born mouse was made use of target cells, 0.1 ?Ci 3~H-TdR per milliliter medium was added in the culture in order to induce malignant transformation of the cells in the culture. Results of the experiment was that the cells effected by 3~H-TdR had a unlimited growing and formed sarcoma after being inoculated into new born mice immunosuppressed with ATS. It suggested that they had became malignant transformation cells. Results of analysis of chromosome aberrations of the transformed cells, the long arm chromosome was observed in 5% of cells, the metacentric chromosome in 7% of cells, the acentric fregment in 8% of cells. It shows that DNA damage of the cells induced by 3~H-TdR causes their chromosome aberrations and, futhermore, development of malignant cells. The fact that unstable aberrations was Still in sight in the malignant transformation cells suggested that there have been a bit of 3~HTdR left in these cells which kept damaging DNA of the cells.

Objective:To investigate the effect of sorafenib on the proliferation of human oral cancer TCA8113 cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods:Mter treated with sorafenib at 2.5,5,10,20 μg/ml respectively for48 h,TCA8113 cell proliferation was examined by MTT and colony formation assay.Western blotting was employed to examine the p38MAPK expression in the cells.TCA8113 cells were pretreated with 10 μmol/L of SB203580 (a specific inhibitor of p38MAPK) for 30 min,and then by different concentrations of sorafenib for 48 h,cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay.Results:Sorafenib significantly inhibited the proliferation of TCA8113 cells in a concentration dependent fashion.Sorafenib also remarkably promoted the activation of p38MAPK of the cells.SB203580 significantly alleviated soiafenib induced TCA8113 cell viability decrease.Conclusion:Sorafenib can inhibit the proliferation of TCA8113 cells,which may be related to the activation of p38MAPK.

AIM:To investigate the effect of genistein on the proliferation of human oral cancer TCA 8113 cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms .METHODS:The cell proliferation was examined by MTT assay , cell counting and colony formation assay .Western blotting was employed to examine the protein levels of vascular endothelial growth fac -tor (VEGF), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p-ERK.RESULTS: Genistein significantly inhibited the proliferation of TCA8113 cells in a concentration-dependent fashion .Moreover , genistein dose-dependently decreased the protein levels of VEGF, ERK and p-ERK.The expression of VEGF was also blunted by U 0126, a specific inhibitor of ERK.U0126 and axitinib, a VEGF receptor antagonist , both significantly inhibited the proliferation of TCA 8113 cells. CONCLUSION:Genistein inhibits the proliferation of TCA8113 cells, which may be related to its inhibitory effect on ERK expression and activation , thus subsequently decreasing the expression of VEGF .

Objective:To study the effect of combined acupuncture and rehabilitation training on early-stage Barthel index of ischemic stroke cases.Method:Fifty ischemic stroke cases were randomized into a treatment group of 24 cases and control group of 26 cases.In addition to routine internal treatment methods,rehabilitation training was applied to cases in the control group,and combined acupuncture and rehabilitation training were applied to cases in the treatment group.Warming and reinforcing manipulations were applied to Jianyu (LI 15),Quchi (LI 11),Hegu (LI 4),Yanglingquan (GB 34),Yinlingquan (SP 9),Zusanli (ST 36),and Sanyinjiao (SP 6),20 min of needle retaining for each point in one treatment.Then the scores of clinical neurological impairment and Barthel index of stroke cases were evaluated before the treatment and 3 weeks after respectively.Results:The significant progress and progress cases in the treatment group were 14 and 12 respectively,whereas that in the control group were 6 and 11 respectively,coupled with 7 cases of no progress.The therapeutic effect in the treatment is substantially better than the control group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference (P＞0.05) in neurological impairment and scores of Barthel index of the two groups before the treatment,whereas significant difference (P＜0.05) after the treatment.The scores of neurological impairment in the treatment group were significantly reduced after the treatment (P＜0.05),and the scores of Barthel index were significantly increased (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Combined acupuncture and rehabilitation training can produce significantly better effect on early neurological impairment and Barthel index of stroke cases than rehabilitation training alone.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic basis for a fetus suspected for Coffin-Siris syndrome. METHODS: Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole exome sequencing (WES) were carried out for the fetus. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: Prenatal ultrasound at 23rd gestational week has revealed fetal ventriculomegaly. No abnormality was found by CMA, while WES revealed that the fetus has harbored a de novo heterozygous c.2851G>A (p.G951R) variant of the SMARCA4 gene, which was predicted to be pathogenic. CONCLUSION Genetic testing should be considered for fetuses featuring progressive widening of lateral cerebral ventricles.
