Basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)is a polypeptide cell growth factor,which has exten- sive physiological functions.With the in-depth study,the exploration of relationship between basic fibroblast growth factor and tumor has been developing rapidly in recent years,It shows a good prospect in diagnosis and treatment of tumor.There is a brief overview about the molecular biology of bFGF,its expression in tumor and the relationship between bFGF and tumorigenesis.

Objective To improve the accuracy of X-ray diagnosis of the deltoid ligament injury by evaluating the influence of plantar flexion on the diagnosis.Methods Twenty-four patients with ankle supination-extemal rotation fracture which was distal fibula fracture but no medial malleolus fracture were treated from February 2010 to December 2010.All the patients were taken Mortise radiograph with the ankle in four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30° and 45°)applied with rotational stress and the deltoid ligament injury was identified with MRI.The medical clear space(MCS)and the superior clear space(SCS)on each radiograph were measured.The results were tested by a one-way analysis of variance model(ANOVA),based on the following criteria:(1)the MCS≥ 4 mm and MCS ＞ SCS,or when MCS≥5 mm and MCS ＞SCS.The MRI examination was taken as the gold standard to compare the influence of X-ray diagnosis of the deltoid ligament injury with different plantar flexions and different standards.Results The average MCS in four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30°,and 45 °)with rotational stress were(4.10 ±0.79)mm,(4.55 ±0.72)mm,(4.99 ±0.56)mm and(5.71 ±0.86)ram,with statistical difference(P ＜0.05).The average SCS in four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30°,and 45°)were(3.56 ±0.41)mm,(3.50 ±0.43)mm,(3.71 +0.44)mm and(3.93 ±0.51)mm,with no statistical difference in the four groups(P ＞0.05).With the MSC≥4 mm and MSC ＞ SCS as the diagnostic criteria,the prevalence of false-positive findings of deltoid injury based on the ratio with the four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30° and 45°)were 50.0％,66.7％,88.9％ and 94.4％ respectively.With the MSC≥5 mm and MSC ＞SCS as the diagnostic criteria,the prevalence of false-positive findings of deltoid injury based on the ratio with the four positions of plantar flexion(0°,15°,30° and 45°)were 5.6％,11.1％,38.9％ and 77.8％ respectively.Condusions Different plantar flexion angle is an important factor for X-ray diagnosis of deltoid ligament injury of the ankle joint.The prevalence of false-positive findings of deltoid injury increases with the increase of plantar flexion.

AIM: To investigate the anticancer effect of manumycin on abdominal metastatic breast cancer cell line-SK-BR-3 and its relationship with p38 MAPK . METHODS: The test of anticancer effect was performed by the method of MTT, apoptosis induced by manumycin and affected by SB203580, a specific p38 MAPK inhibitor, were examined by caspase-3 activity assay kit, and the protein expression was detected by immunoblotting assay. RESULTS: The inhibition rates at 24 h after treatment with manumycin of 6 ?mol/L, 18 ?mol/L, 54 ?mol/L were (7.4?3.9)%, (21.0?4.4)% and (64.7?4.1)%, respectively and showed dosage-effect relationship. Compared with the control group, the survival rates of the last two treatment groups were decreased significantly (P

The clinicopathological data of 173 cases of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT)were retrospectively analyzed.Among them 125 were males and 48 females with a mean age of 47.9 y (5-78 y).The lesions of 117 cases were located in lungs,41 cases in eyes,8 in ileocecum,2 in liver,2 in spleen,1 in abdominal wall,1 in maxillary sinus and 1 in face.The average diameter of lesions were 3.5 cm,ranging from 1.0 cm to 7.0 cm.The clinical manifestations were not specific,depending on the locations of tumor.The imaging examinations were helpful for diagnosis.The prcsence of slender-spindled myofibroblasts and proliferation of fibroblast cells,with infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells were the basic histopathological features of the disease.Combined with the histological characteristics and immunohistochemical staining IMT can be differentiated from other spindle cell tumors.Appropriate surgical resection is the main treatment for IMT.

Objective To prepare Exosomes secreted by mouse hepatoma cell (H_(22)) and heat stressed Exosomes (HS-Exo) derived from heat stress-treated mouse hepatoma cell (H_(22)), in order to study the possible anti-tumor immune mechanism. Methods Exosomes and HS-Exo were purified by serial ultracentrifugation and sucrose density gradiant centrifugation, and were observed and identified by electron microscope. The components and production of the protein and the effects of the host immune response against hepatocellular carcinoma of HS-Exo were observed by using Exosomes as the control. Their immunological factors were detected by Western blot. Lymphocyte proliferation and specific cytotoxic activity of mouse splenic cells were determined by MTT. CD4~+ and CD8~+ lymphocytes infiltration in mouse tumor tissues immunized by both were analysed by immunohistochemical staining. Results HS-Exo was similar in morphology to the Exosomes, the important immune-ralated protein expressed in HS-Exo was increased (P<0.05). HS-Exo immunized mouse group showed more effective inhibition of tumor growth, better-induced lymphocyte proliferation,more significantly enhanced the cytotoxic activity of spleen lymphocytes, as well as a more prominent role in tumor therapy than Exosomes immunized mouse control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Heat stress treatment method for the preparation of HS-Exo was feasible. HS-Exo had a stronger role in the immuneactivity and tumor treatment than control Exosomes.

A thiosulfate-oxidizing bacterium TX was isolated from polysulfide wastewater treatment system.It was preliminarily identified as Halothiobacillus sp.according to its morphological,physiological proper-ties and similarity analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence(GenBank accession No.EU871645).This bacte-rium was an obligate chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium since it could utilize thiosulfate,elemental sulfur,tetrathionate,sulfide or sulfite as sole energy source but did not show growth on the me-dium with glucose,sucrose,fructose,lactose,mannose or yeast extract as sole carbon source.The optimal growth condition for thiosulfate oxidation was 30?C~35?C and pH 3.0~5.0 respectively.Significant reduc-tion in medium pH from 4.0 to 1.2 was observed due to oxidation of thiosulfate to sulfate during the batch culture incubation period.During the course of thiosulfate oxidation accumulation of tetrathionate was ob-served either in synthetic medium or in the mixed liquor from aeration tank of the polysulfide wastewater treatment system.This indicates that the "S4 intermediate(S4I)" pathway was responsible for thiosulfate oxidation in this bacterium.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of XinShu parenteral solution (XSPS) on the activation of platelet, the activity of fibrinolysis system after intima denudation of rabbits.Methods20 male Japanese white rabbits (2.5±0.5)kg were randomly divided into the control group and XSPS group .The celiac arterial endothelium of all rabbits were denuded with balloon. Before the operation and 3d, 7d, after balloon denudation, vein blood samples were obtained from each group rabbits for measurement of α granule membrane protein of platelets(GMP-140), tissue-type plasminogen activator(t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-type Ⅰ(PAI-1).ResultsPlasma GMP-140 and PAI-1 activity obviously elevated after balloon injury, and there was a little elevation in plasma t-PA activity in control group. Activity of plasma GMP-140 in XSPS group remained bottom level after balloon injury, and there was a significant increase in plasma t-PA activity and a marked reduce in PAI-1 activity in XSPS group. There was a notable difference between group B and group C (P<0.05). ConclusionXSPS obviously inhibits platelet activation, and improves fibrinolysis activity after balloon injury.
