Patients with knee osteoarthritis increase gradually.Arthroscopic debridement has achieved good results in clinical treatment at home and abroad in recent years.The technology is not only easy to operate at a low cost, it but also can directly improve the internal environment and function of the knee joints, cut off the vicious circle of joint cavity, which can provide a good environment for the normal production of joint fluid after a large amount of saline lavaging knee joint cavity during operation. This review summarizes the clinical curative effect of knee osteoarthritis with arthroscopic debridement in recent five years and provides the guidance and reference for the researchers.

Objective To investigate the expressions and clinical significances of MUC1-mRNA and CK20-mRNA in peripheral blood of esophageal cancer patients.Methods MUC1-mRNA and CK20-mRNA were detected in 53 patients with esophageal cancer,10 patients with esophageal benign tumor and 20 healthy volunteers by RT-PCR technique.Results The expressions of MUC1-mRNA,CK20-mRNA and combining group were 35.85 % (19/53),49.06 % (26/53) and 62.26 % (36/53) in peripheral blood of 53 esophageal cancer patients.In control group,there was no expression of MUC1-mRNA and CK20-mRNA in peripheral blood of 10 patients with benign esophageal disease and 20 healthy volunteers.The positive rate increased by combining test(x2 =11.0228,P <0.05).Conclusion MUC1-mRNA and CK20-mRNA might be specific and sensitive markers to detect circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood and their expressions are closely related to TNM stages of the esophageal cancer patients.The combining test might be of high value of the diagnosis of micrometastasis.

The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected-cell protein 27 (ICP27) is an essential,highly conserved protein involved in various steps of HSV-1 gene regulation as well as in the shut-off of host gene expression during infection.It functions primarily at the post-transcriptional level in inhibiting precursor mRNA splicing and in promoting nuclear export of viral transcripts.Recently,many novel functions performed by the HSV-1 ICP27 protein were shown,including leptomycin B resistance,inhibition of the type I interferon signaling,regulation of the viral mRNA translation and determining the composition of HSV-1 virions.

Objective To establish reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) with primers specific for CEA gene and CK20 gene to detect circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood of esophageal cancer pa-tients,and try to find the relationship between the mRNA expression and micrometastasis. Methods The expressions of CEA,CK20 were analyzed by RT-PCR in 53 cases of esophageal tumor tissue and in peripheral blood,compared with 10 patients with benign esophageal disease and 20 healthy volunteers. Results The expressions of CEA-mRNA, CK20-mRNA were 96.23% (51/53), 100% ( 53/53 ) in 53 esophageal tumor tissue and were 52.83% (28/53), 49.06% (26/53) in peripheral blood of 53 esophageal cancer patients. In control group,there was only one expression of CEA-mRNA in peripheral blood of 10 patients with benign esophageal disease,as well as in 20 healthy volunteers. There was no expression of CK20-mRNA in peripheral blood of 10 patients with benign esophageal disease and 20 healthy volunteers. Conclusion CEA-mRNA, CK20-mRNA might be specific and sensitive markers to detect circu-lating tumor cells in peripheral blood and their expression was closely related to TNM stages of the esophageal cancer patients.

Background and purpose: Oxymatrine, which is the main effective component of Sopkora flavescens Ait, has anti-fibrosis and antiviral activities, and also has a good effect on leukopenia after either chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Recent studies showed that oxymatrine has the abilities of anti-invasion and killing tumor cells in some degree, and as a supplementary anticancer drug in chemical therapy. In this study, we investigated the antitumor mechanism of oxymatrine by observing cell proliferation and VEGF expression in human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell line. Methods: Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells was cultured in vitro and treated with oxymatrine, then cell proliferation was examined by the method of MTT. Immunohistochemistry was applied to examine the protein expression of VEGE The transcriptions of VEGF mRNA were demonstrated by RT-PCR technique.Results: Low-dose (0.5 mg/mL) oxymatrine has a mild inhibitory effect on cellular proliferation of SGC-7901 cells (P>0.05). When concentration exceeded 1 mg/mL, oxymatrine significantly inhibited cellular proliferation in a time-and concentration-dependent manner, and down-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF (P<0.05).Conclusion: Within a certain drug concentration, oxymatrine can inhibit the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells and play a potential role in inhibiting angiogenesis by down-regulating the expression of VEGF.

BACKGROUND: Compound betamethasone injection has been widely used to treat intervertebral disc herniation, but its precise mechanism remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore effects of local injection of compound betamethasone on substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia of rat models undergoing autologous transplantation of nucleus pulposus.
METHODS: A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: blank group, model group, sham surgery group, and western medicine group, with 9 rats in each group. After 1 week of adaptive feeding, rat models of autologous transplantation of nucleus pulposus were established in the model and western medicine groups. At 3, 7 and 12 days after surgery, the rats were given 128.25 μL saline in the model and sham surgery groups. The rats in the western medicine group were administered Betamethason Compound Injection 13.5 μL + 2% Lidocaine Injection 67.5 μL. At 12 hours after final administration, L4-6 segments of the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion were obtained, and substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide contents in L4-6 segments of the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion were determined using immunofluorescence staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Significant differences in mean fluorescence intensity of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide were detected in rat spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion in each group (P < 0.01). Further paired comparison showed that compared with the blank and sham surgery groups, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide contents were significantly higher in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion in the model group (P < 0.01), which verified that models could be replicated and were reliable. Compared with the model and sham surgery groups, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide contents were significantly lower in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion of rats in the western medicine group (P < 0.01). Above results confirmed that Compound Betamethasone Injection for treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation eliminated substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide in dorsal root ganglion possibly by inhibiting dorsal root ganglion neuron synthesis and secreting substance P and reduced their transmission to the spinal cord, resulting in inhibiting and lessening pain.

AIM: To obtain GST fusion protein of hSP17 gene and construct the recombinant plasmid for expression in E. coli. METHODS: Total fragment of hSP17 cDNA gene were amplified by RT-PCR, then subcoloned into pGEX-3b to generate recombinant hSP17/pGEX. Right orientation of insert are identified by restricted enzyme digestion. Transform the correct recombinant plasmid into the E. coli DH5a. The expression of fusion proteins hSP17-GST were induced by adding isopropylthiogalactoside (IPTG). RESULTS and CONCLUSION: The recombinant plasmid hSP17/pGEX-3b could express effectively in E.coli and a high level of fusion protein hsp17-GST with the predicted molecular weight was detected.
