Cancer stem cells (CSC) play a crucial role in the tumor angiogenesis.Angiogenic factors and hypoxia mediate the process.CSC car differentiate into vascular endothelial cells and participate in the formation of vasculogenic mimicry,which may be one of the key factors in the initiation and progression of tumors.lndepth studies of the roles of CSC in tumor angiogenesis might help provide the basis for developing more effective therapeutic drug target.

Tumor angiogenesis is an important way of rapid proliferation and metastasis for malignancies,and a variety of cellular and molecular factors involved in the process.Angiopoietin-2(Ang-2) is one of the important vascular endothelial growth factor,which influences tumor angiogenesis mainly through releasing vascular structures and damaging the vessel stability.Recent researches reveal that Ang-2 modulates tumor angiogenesis interacting with other vascular growth factors.With the new research progress,Ang-2 will not only be an important target for antiangiogenic therapy,but also further improve clinical efficacy of antitumor therapy combined with other signal pathways as common targets.

Objective: To observe changes of EEG parameters,including bispectral index (BIS),spectral edge frequency(SEF)and median frequency(MF),and the association between the changes of EEG variables and hemodynamic responses to intubation during induction by propofol with or without fentanyl. Method: Twenty-four ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients were randomly assigned to double-blindly receiving intravenous propofol/normal saline (group P, n=12)or propofol/fentanyl 2?g/kg(group PF,n=12), respectively. Intubation was performed following 5-min maintenance of BIS within 45?5. EEG and hemodynamic variables were recorded at endpoints of pre-induction, pre-intubation and post-intubation. Result:In group P,blood pressure and heart rate at post-intubation were significantly increased compared with pre-induction value(P

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 ( HIF-1 ) is one of the most important transcriptional factors which regulate the transcription of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ), HIF-1 plays a critical role in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. The transcriptional regulation role for HIF-1 in tumor angiogenesis is closely related to its molecular structure,biological character and molecular mechanism and signaling pathways.

The process of tumor angiogenesis is a complicated chain reaction which happens under the action of a series of positive feedback and negative feedback factors . Cancer stem cells are small part cell groups of self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential in tumors. Many studies indicate that tumor stem cells participate in the process of tumor angiogenesis, and vascular endothelial growth factor can regulate endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis, thereby promoting tumor growth and metastasis.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is an important transcriptional factor,which plays crucial role in response to hypoxia.HIF is highly expressed in many human cancers,and it is closely related to tumor angiogenesis.HIF promotes tumor growth,invasion and metastasis via up-regulating vascular endothelial growth factor gene and starting associated angiogenesis.With the in-depth study of HIF regulation of tumor angiogenesis mechanism,HIF is expected to become an important target for anti-angiogenesis therapy.

Objective To study the efficiency of reversing MDR by suppressing MDR1 gene with RNAi in K562/ADM cells. Methods For reversing MDR by RNAi technology, two different short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) were designed and constructed into pGenSil-1 plasmid, respectively. They were then transfected into the highly adriamycin-resistant K562/ADM cell line. The RNAi effect on MDR was evaluated by real-time PCR, and Rhodamine123 (Rh123) efflux assy. Results The stable transfected clones showed varied degrees of reversal of MDR phenotype. Surprisingly, the MDR phenotype was completely reversed in two transfected clones. Conclusion This study demonstrates that MDR can be reversed by the shRNA-mediated RNAi in K562/ADM cells, which provides a valuable clue as to sensitizing multidrug-resistant hepatoma cells to anti-cancer drugs.

Objective To compare the effect of anti-spin intramedullary nail and dynamic hip screw fixation in the treatment of elderly intertrochanteric fractures ,in order to investigate the clinical value of anti-spin intramedul-lary nail in elderly intertrochanteric fractures .Methods 160 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures were divided into the observation group and control group according to the random number table .The observation group received anti-spin intramedullary nail fixation , the control group received dynamic hip screw fixation .The fracture healing and hip function of two groups were compared .Results The operative time of the observation group was shor-ter than that of the control group ,and blood loss was less than the control group ,the differences were statistically sig-nificant(t=4.635,3.643,all P<0.05).The function,pain,deformity,range of motion and total scores of the obser-vation group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( t=4.433,4.364,4.865,3.876,3.645,all P<0.05).The postoperative hip function excellent rate of the observation group was 90.0%,which was significantly higher than 72.5%of the control group (χ2 =5.153,P<0.05).Conclusion Proximal femur intramedullary nail anti-rotation fixation in the treatment of elderly intertrochanteric femoral fractures has shorter operative time ,less blood loss,and postoperative hip function recovery is good ,it is worthy of promotion .

Objective To study the effects of total intravenous anesthesia and combined inhalation and intravenous anesthesia on arousing time and recovery quality in rectifying surgery of scoliosis. Methods Forty patients (ASAⅠ-Ⅱ) were divided randomly into total-intravenous anesthesia group and combined inhalation and intravenous anesthesia group (n=20 each). Target controlled infusion (TCI) with propofol (2-4?g/ml) was used for maintenance in total intravenous anesthesia group, while isoflurane (0.8%-1.5%) and nitrous oxide (50%) were used in combined inhalation and intravenous anesthesia group. TCI remifentanyl (2-6ng/ml) was used for maintenance in both groups. Results Arousing time were 19.7?5.1min in total intravenous anesthesia group, but 11.9?3.3 min in combined inhalation and intravenous anesthesia group (P

Objective To compare the influences of sulfentanyl or fentanyl combined with midazolam on respiratory function in slow induction of anesthesia.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients were divided into two groups.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.03mg/kg in both groups,and fentanyl 2?g/kg(i.v.)was given in fentanyl group or sulfentanyl 0.2?g/kg(i.v.)in sulfentanyl group.Five minutes later,2ml of 1% decicaine was administered by cricothyroid membrane puncture to facilitate the intubation.Respiratory indexes(respiratory frequency,VT,MVV,PETCO2,SPO2),circulatory indexes(MAP,HR)and sedation level were measured before and 1,2,3,4,5 minute(s)after injection of drugs,at cricothyroid membrane puncture,and pre-and post-intubation.Results Patients showed respiratory depression(respiratory frequency was reduced)in both groups 2 minutes after injection of drugs.However,respiratory frequency was decreased more markedly in fentanyl group than that in sulfentanyl group.Ten out of 20 patients were obliged to receive breathing intervention in fentanyl group,but two in sulfentanyl group.Conclusion In combination with midazolam,sedative effect of sulfentanyl is stronger than that of fentanyl in equivalent analgesic dose,but with less respiratory depression.Sulfentanyl may be more suitable for slow induction of anesthesia.
