Objective To study the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) after transferred angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) type 2 receptor (AT2R) gene. Methods The recombinant adenoviral vector, AdCMV-AT2R, containing rat AT2 receptor gene was constructed by homologous recombination, and transfered to rat VSMC in vitro. The expression of AT2R mR NA was detected by RT-PCR. The rate of expression and the change of cell cycle in VSMC were analysed by flow cytometry. These assays including cell devision index. Incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU) and 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide( MTT) were used to determine the proliferation of VSMC. The modified Boyden's chamber method was used to test the migration of VSMC. The r e-organization of F-actin in VSMC was analysed by confocal microscopy. Results RT-PCR showed that the expression of AT2R mRNA increased substantially in transferred VSMC, and the peak value of expression rate is about 89.51% at 48 hours. When the expression of AT2R is at peak value, the ratio of S, G2 and M periods was reduced from 31.7% to 13.9%(P<0.05). The OD values of MTT and BrdU incorporation were reduced by 61.4% and 51.6% respectively(P<0.0(1). the number of VSMC migration was reduced by 62.2%(P<0.05) and the expression of F-actin was also decreased signific antly. Conclusion AdCMV-AT2R induced high level expression of AT2 receptor in cultured rat VSMC and its expression can significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration of rats VSMC in vitro.

Objective To analyze the outcomes of radiotherapy for 74 patients with intracranial ger-minoma. Methods Between 1990 and 2007,74 patients with intracranial germinoma(9 pathologically diag-nosed and 65 clinically diagnosed) were treated with radiotherapy in our hospital. The median age at diagno-sis was 15 (range 5-45) years. Radiation treatment fields varied among patients, including craniospinal irra-diation(CSI), whole brain irradiation, whole ventricular irradiation with primary tumor boost, and involved-field irradiation only to the primary tumor plus margin. The dose was 38.5 -50.0 Gy to the tumor,18-25 Gy to the whole brain/ventricular,and 21-25 Gy to the whole spinal cord in fractions of 1.6-2.0 Gy per day,5 fractions per week. Results The median follow-up time was 80(range 12-168) months and the fol-low-up rate was 97%. Fourteen patients had been followed up for over 10 years. The 1-,5- and 10-year o-verall survival rates were 99% ,96% and 93%. The corresponding disease free survival rates were 97%, 90% and 83%, respectively. Relapses occurred in 9 patients. For the 6 patients with in-field relapse, the dose to the tumor was 38.5-40.0 Gy in 3 patients, 41-45 Gy in 2 and 46-50 Gy in 1. Relapse in the spinal cord was found in 3 patients and none of them received spinal irradiation. Twenty-one patients re-quired hormonal replacement therapy because of radiation induced hypofunction of prehypophysis. Conclu-sions Radiotherapy alone is a curative treatment for intracranial germinoma. The proper dose should be de-termined by tumor numbers and the examination of cerebrospinal fluid.

Objective To constructed the cell model transferred angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ ) type 2 receptor (AT2R) in vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) Method The VSMCs, isolated from the aorta of rat, were cultured by routine method. Recombinant adenoviral vector, AdCMV-AT2R, containing rat AT2 receptor gene was constructed by homologous recombination, and then it was used to transfer AT2 receptor gene to VSMC in vitro. The rate of AT2R expression in VSMC was analysed by flow cytometry. The expression of mRNA, protein were detected by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry respectively. The angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) type 1 receptor (A T1R) was determined as well. Result The expression rate of AT2R in VSMC was increased signific antly after transferred by AdCMV-AT2R with time, and the peak value detected by flow cytometry was about 89.51% at 48 hours. RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of AT2R mRNA and protein were increased obviously in transferred VSMC. There were no significantly change of AT1R expression during AT2R expression. Conclusion Our study indicates that AdCMV-AT2R did generate high level expression of AT2 receptor and its expression did not affect AT1R exp ression in cultured VSMC. The VSMCs transferred AT2R gene may be used as a good model to study the effect of AT2R on their biological action such as proliferation, migration and apoptosis.
