2.Predictive biomarkers in tumor treatment by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 pathway
Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(6):452-454
Identifying biomarkers predicting clinical response to treatment of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway blockade can guide patient selection and therapeutic individualization.Some researches have shown that patients with cancer will acquire better clinical effects by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 pathway whose characteristics include higher pretreatment expression of PD-L1 by tumor cells or tumor infiltrating immune cells,the massive infiltration of intratumoral CD8 + T cells,the high mutation frequency of tumor cell gene.These biomarkers are expected to become indicators which can select patients.
3.Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from Sprague-Dawley rats:aging inhibits cell proliferation and differentiation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(32):5108-5113
BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are ideal as tissue engineering seed cells, but the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro is very different at different ages. Moreover, there are few reports on the association between age and the number of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To observe the difference in differentiation ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from rats at different ages. METHODS:We isolated, purified and amplified the mesenchymal stem cells from rat bone marrow in vitro by the whole bone marrow adherent culture;observed the morphological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells under an inverted phase contrast microscope;detected cellsurface markers by flow cytometer. Then, mesenchymal stem cells were induced in vitro into osteoblasts and chondroblasts and verified. Passage 3 cells from rats at ages of 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks and 10, 12 months were subjected to osteogenic induction at weeks 1, 2, 3. ELISA was used to determine osteocalcin content. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro were adherent and exhibited a fibroblast-like spindle shape. In vitro, cells proliferated quickly to form colonies. Flow cytometry showed that the cells were positive for CD29, CD90, but negative for CD45, and partial y expressed CD44. After osteogenic induction, cells were positive for alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining;after chondrogenic induction, cells were positive for alcian blue staining. Mesenchymal stem cells could be isolated and cultured by the method of bone marrow adherent culture in vitro. However, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from rats at different ages exhibit decreased proliferation and differentiation abilities with the increase of age through determination of osteocalcin content.

China Pharmacy 2017;28(11):1544-1547
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and propofol intravenous anesthesia on hemodynamics,stress reaction and anesthesia effects of pediatric hernia surgery. METHODS:Eight-six children underwent hernia surgery in Hubei Provincial Third People's Hospital from May 2011 to Sept. 2015 were selected as subjects and divided into tri-al group and control group according to random number table,with 43 cases in each group. Trial group was given Tirofiban hydro-chloride for injection 0.4 μg/(kg·min),ivgtt,Cisatracurium besilate for injection 0.1 mg/kg+Fentanyl citrate injection 1.0 μg/kg,iv, for anesthesia induction;given 2%-3% sevoflurane inhalation for anesthesia maintenance,and additionally given fentanyl citrate 0.5 μg/kg,iv if necessary. Control group was given Propofol emulsion injection 3 mg/kg+atracurium 0.1 mg/kg+ fentanyl citrate 1.0μg/kg,iv for anesthesia induction;given micro pump injection of propofol 3 mg/(kg·h)for anesthesia maintenance,and additional-ly given fentanyl citrate 0.5 μg/kg,iv if necessary. The onset time of anesthesia,hemodynamic parameters (SBP,DBP,HR), stress reaction indexes(NE,E,R),recovery situation and the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:The on-set time of anesthesia in trial group was(3.82±0.45)min,significantly shorter than control group(5.13±0.74)min,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05). Before anesthesia induction,there was no statistical significance in SBP,DBP,HR,the serum levels of NE,E and R between 2 groups(P>0.05). The levels of SBP,DBP,HR of 2 groups at incision,5 min after incision,10 min after incision were significantly higher than before anesthesia,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Above indexes of trial group at incision,5 min after incision were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). At incision, the serum levels of NE,E and R in 2 groups were increased significantly compared to before anesthesia induction,but the trial group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The postoperative eye opening time, awake time and orientation recovery time of trial group were significantly shorter than control group,while the PAED score was sig-nificantly lower than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in trial group(0)was significant-ly lower than control group (11.6%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia has less effect than propofol intravenous anesthesia on hemodynamic indexes and is helpful to relieve stress reaction and promote postoperative revival with good safety.

Objective:To discuss the approach of treating the patients who suffered from cystic lesions of the pancreas. Methods:According to the retrospective analysis of all the 127 patients who were diagnosed as cystic lesions of the pancreas by the following methods such as ultrasonography ,CT,MRCP,PET,ERCP,EUS and FNA. Results:48 case of cystic lesions of the pancreas (38%) were selected an initial operation,and 79 of them (62%) selected follow-up visit. Nearly 40% of the patients who chose an initial operation were confirmed to suffer a malignant tumor by pathology. 9 patients(11%) of all the patients in the follow-up accept an operation because of their cystic lesions had a variation. According to the result of the pathology after the resection,3 patients of them had a canceration. The patients in the follow-up whose lesion diameter was smaller than 3cm,not existing a solid lesions,and without signs or symptoms,didn't have a risk in the transition to the malignant mutation. The transition rate was less than 4%,which was similar to the death risk of the patients undergoing resection. Conclusion:It is significant to adopt a careful radioactive follow-up to the surrounding parenchyma of all the patients who had not an initial resection.

Mouse AtlasTM cDNA Arrays were used for comparative studies of gene expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) before and after in vitro cultivation and 24 types of differentially expressed genes were identified. To screen and identify the differentially expressed new genes of MEF, cDNA suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique was used. The cDNAs derived from cultured MEF after SSH were subcloned into pGEM T easy vectors to set up the subtractive library, transfected into E. coli strain JM109, sequenced and analyzed with bio informatics methods after PCR amplification.Altogether 42 types differentially expressed genes and 3 novel ESTs were identified and categorized from total 128 ESTs derived from cultured MEF after SSH. It is suggested that the genes expressed by MEF were the important molecular basis supporting the survival, proliferation and self renewal capacities of embryonic stem cells.
