The bone is a common site of metastasis for gastric cancer. High-risk factors of metastatic gastric cancer include young age, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, Borrmann type III tumors, depth of invasion at Se and Pm levels, positive lymph nodes, and gastric cancer with concomitant body of stomach cancer. More than half of the transfer pathway belongs to the non-portal system. Cases of gastric cancer with bone metastasis but without liver metastasis accounted for 69%of the total gastric cancer cases, whereas the incidence rate of bone metastasis with lymph node metastasis (≥3 cm away from the primary lesion) was 27%. In addition to the tumor markers human chorionic gonadotropin and carcinoembryonic antigen, radionuclide scan of the bone metastasis provides diagnostic pathways and reliable basis for treatment. Chemoradiation and surgery as symptomatic treatments are alternative therapies for stomach cancer. Bone metastasis confers unfavorable prognosis, and the survival time is often less than six months.

Objective To investigate the incidence of metabolic syndrome among obese children in clinics. Methods One hundred and thirteen obese children aged 7 to 14 years were selected from clinics of nutrition(case group),and another 366 healthy students aged 7 to 14 years were served as controls.Height,body weight,waist circumference,hip circumference,blood pressure and liver ultrasound were measured,related biochemical parameters such as fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,serum total cholesterol,triglyceride(TG),hiSh density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein were detected,and the incidences of metabolic syndrome were obtained in two groups.Insulin resistance(IR)was evaluated by homeostasis model assessment(HOMA). Results There was no significant difference in age and gender between case group and control group(P>0.05).Body weight,body mass index(BMI),waist circumference,hip circumference,waist to hip ratio,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,HOMA index and TG in case group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01).The 75th percentile of HOMA index in control group was 3.28,and IR subgroup and non-IR subgroup were divided according to this cutpoint.In case group,body weight,BMI,waist circumference and TG in non-IR subgroup were significantly higher than those in IR subgroup (P< 0.05).Metabolic syndrome occurred in 51 cases(45.1%) in case group.The incidence of metabolic syndrome was higher in IR subgroup than that in non-IR group(50.0% vs 21.1%)(P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is higher in overweight and obese children.IR has a close relationship with metabolic syndrome.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of parenteral nutrition related central venous catheter infection in elder patients with malignant tumors,and explore the risk factors. Methods The clinical data of 366 patients with malignant tumors who were managed with parenteral nutrition after operation were retrospectively analysed.The data of age,gender, body weight,diagnosis of primary disease,surgical approach,past history,volume of blood and albumin transfusion and time of fever(body temperature ≥38℃) were collected.Parenteral nutrition related parameters such as time of parenteral nutrition,total calorie,non-protein cMorie,amount of fat,protein and glucose,calorie to nitrogen ratio and carbohydrate to fat ratio were also recorded. Results The mean age of 366 patients was (71.8±6.9)years,mean time of parenteralnutrition was (10.6±6.3)d,and total time of catheterization was 3 336 days.The prevalence of parenteral nutrition related central venous catheter infection was 2.5%(9/366).Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the relative risks of plasma albumin level before parenteral nutrition and time of high fever to catheter infection were 1.257 and 2.518,respectively(P<0.01 for both). Conclusion Plasma albumin level before parenteral nutrition and time of fever were two risk factors for parenteral nutrition related catheter infection in elder patients with malignant tumors.

Objective To observe the protection of aprotinin, ulinastatin and aminomethylbenzoic acid, aminomethylbenzoie acid on blood fibrinolytie system during cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB). Methods Thirty-six patients with rheumatic heart disease who were treated by valve replacement were randomly divided into three groups: aprotinin group (group A, 12 cases): aprotinin 2000 kU was added into the priming solution; ulinastatin and aminomethylbenzoic acid group (group UP, 12 cases): ulinastatin 12 000 U/kg and aminomethylbenzoic acid 10 mg/kg was added into the priming solution; aminomethylbenzoie acid group (group P, 12 cases): aminomethylbenzoic acid 10 mg/kg was added into the priming solution. Results There was no significant difference in CPB time and blood transfusion among three groups; the postoperative 24 h chest tube drainage in group UP was (443.3 ± 150.8) ml, in group P was (430.0 ± 178.3) ml and in group A was (290.0 ± 98.0) ml, there were significant differences between group UP, group P and group A (P < 0.05). There was 1 case of severe allergic reaction in group A. Conclusion Aprotinin, ulinastatin and aminomethylbenzoic acid, aminomethylbenzoic acid are effective in stabilizing blood fibrinolytic system and preserving platelet function during CPB, leading to less postoperative blood loss.

BACKGROUND:Currently, there is no uniform, standardized approach to isolate, purify and proliferate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Chlormethylbenzamido-1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine (CM-Dil) is a stable, reliable, high marking and simple marker.
OBJECTIVE:To develop the methods for isolation, culture and identification of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro.
METHODS:Two male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 50-100 g were taken to col ect the bilateral femur and tibia bone marrow under sterile conditions, and then, primary bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured using bone marrow adherent separation and density gradient centrifugation. cells were amplified and purified through timely and repeated passage, and labeled at the third generation with fluorescent dyes CM-Dil in vitro as a source of donor cells.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured successful y in vitro using bone marrow adherent separation and density gradient centrifugation separation methods, but the former was superior to the latter in the number of cultured cells significantly, while the two methods were not different significantly in terms of cellviability and proliferation. Flow cytometry results showed that the positive rates of cultured cells were 17.5%for CD34, 97.9%for CD44, and 91%for CD90. CM-Dil can label bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells successful y, which is a stable, reliable, high marking and simple marker.

Objective To establish Ad-LIF-OSM transgenic feeder cells for the expansion of CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell and tentatively study its effect in expansion and differentiation of cord blood hematopoietic stem cell(HSC) in vitro.Methods In the foundation of pAdTrack-CMV-LIF-polyA+promoterΔ,the OSM gene was inserted to the vector plasmid.Then we structure the transfer plasmid pAdTrack-CMV-LIF-polyA+promoterΔ-OSM.The transfer vector and backbone vector were further cotransfected for homologous recombination. The result pAdEasy-1-pAdTrack-CMV-LIF-polyA + promoterΔ-OSM homologous recombination plasmid were transfected into the human embryonic kidney 293 (QBI-293A) cells,leading to formation of the recombinant adenviruses Ad-LIF-OSM which co-expressing LIF and OSM.Infect the feeder layer cells with groups of Adenovirus,detection the expressing of LIF and OSM in WI-38 cells by RT-PCR and ELISA.Compares the stem cells differentiation and proliferation of the different experimental groups in vitro by transwell and cell counting.Results The sequencing results show that the OSM genes were anastomotic in Ad-LIF-OSM.LIF and OSM gene could be detected in feeder layer cells which infected by Ad-LIF-OSM.Exogenetic LIF and OSM have special effect in culturing HSC in vitro.Conclusion The adenoviral vector co-expressing LIF and OSM (Ad-LIF-OSM) were successfully constructed.Ad-LIF-OSM transgenic feeder cells can effectively proliferate umbilical cord blood CD34+ HSPC in vitro and delay it differentiate.

Objective To investigate the distribution of homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)index and its relationship with metabolic syndrome and inflammatory cytokines in students aged 7 to 14 years. Methods The data of 366 students(n=163 for boys and n=203 for girls) aged 7 to 14 years were collected,including anthropometric parameters (height,body weight,body mass index,waist circumference,hip circumference and waist-hip ratio),blood pressure,total fat mass,fat proportion,fasting blood lipid,fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),C-reactive protein(CRP)and interleukin-6(IL-6),and insulin resistance was evaluated by HOMA-IR index. Results The 75 th percentile of HOMA-IR index for boys and girls was 3.62 and 2.88,respectively.Body weight,height,body mass index,waist circumference,hip circumference,total fat mass and fat proportion were positively related to HOMA-IR index(P<0.01).When HOMA-IR index surpassed 75th percentile,age,anthropometric parameters,total fat mass,fat proportion and systolic blood pressure significantly increased in boy and girl students(P<0.05),no significant change occurred in diastolic blood pressure in boy and girl students,the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 significantly increased in boy students(P<0.05),while there was no significant change in level of CRP in boy students and levels of CRP.TNF-α and IL-6 in girl students. Conclusion The increase of HOMA-IR index leads to a dramatic increase of anthropometrie parameters,total fat mass,fat proportion and serum TNF-α and IL-6 in boy students,while that results in the increase of anthropometric parameters,total fat mass and fat proportion in sid students,with no significant change in serum inflammatory cytokines.

Objective　To evaluate the effects of lipid emulsion on parenteral nutrition associated liver dis ease (PNALD) in old tumor patients. Methods　A retrospective study was performed with 402 patients in Renji Hospital from January 2003 to December 2008. Patients were retrieved according to the following criteria: (1)age ≥60 years; (2) confirmed diagnosis of tumor, had no evidence of metastasis, and tumor was completely resected before receiving parenteral nutrition; (3) liver and kidney function was in normal range before receiving parenteral nutrition; (4) parenteral nutrition days ≥7; and (5) parenteral nutrition was infused in "all in one" bag via central venous. Patients with history of viral hepatitis or died in parenteral nutrition episode were excluded. These 402 patients aged (71.7 ±6.8) years and the average parenteral nutrition time was (10. 2 ±5.9) (range, 7-61 )days. In 311 patients (77.4％), non-protein calorie was obtained from carbohydrate and lipid and 91 patients (22. 6％ ) just obtained non-protein calorie from carbohydrate.　Results　The total prevalence of PNALD was 15.2％ (61/402). The prevalence of PNALD was 8.8％ (8/91) in patients receiving parenteral regiment without lipid and 17.0％ (53/311) in patients receiving parenteral nutrition with lipid, and there was no significant difference in prevalence of PNALD between two groups (χ2 = 3.72, P = 0.07 ). Lipid type and amount showed no significant effects on PNALD ( P ＞ 0.05 ). The fever days ( P ＜ 0. 001 ), baseline level of alanine transaminase (P ＜0. 001 ) and γ-glutamyltransferase (P ＜0. 001 ) were risk factors for liver injury by logistic regression. Conclusion　Lipid emulsion can be safely used in old tumor patients without affecting the occurrence of PNALD.
