AIM: To observe the changes of morphology, the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and membrane pump activities of spleen tissue in acute renal failure (ARF) rabbits, and to inquire into the role of spleen on pathogenesis of immune function disorders during ARF. METHODS: 42 rabbits were divided into control group, HgCl_2 group and glycerinum group. The ARF model was established by hypodermic injection of 1% HgCl_2 at dose of 1.3 mL/kg in HgCl_2 group, intramuscularly injection of 50% glycerinum at dose of 10 mL/kg in glycerinum group, respectively, and the animals were divided into the 12 h, 24 h, 48 h secondary groups (6 rabbits each group). At different time points, the rabbits were cannulated to facilitate the collection of blood sample to examine the biochemical indexes of renal function. The spleen microscopic sections were prepared for observing the morphology. The spleen homogenate was made for determining the activities of MPO and membrane pumping. RESULTS: Pathological sections of spleen showed that the different degree of congestion was found and spleen trabecula was increased in two model groups at multiple-time points. The MPO activity of spleen homogenate in HgCl_2 group and glycerinum group at all time points were obviously higher than that in control group, and at 24 h, the MPO activitie in two model groups was significantly increased than that in the same group at 12 h and 48 h. The activities of Na~+-K~+-ATPase, Ca~(2+)-ATPase, Mg~(2+)-ATPase, Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase of spleen homogenate in two model groups at multiple time points were significantly lower than those in control group. Following ARF development, the ATPase activitie in two model groups at 48 h was lower than that at 12 h except the Mg~(2+)-ATPase in glycerinum group. CONCLUSION: Spleen as an immune organ has histological damage, arrest of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and dysfunction of membrane pump during the development of ARF in rabbits, leading to immune disorders.

Objective To evaluate treatment results and prognostic factors of 47 patients withprimary urethral transitional cell carcinoma treated with post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy. Methods From October 1998 to October 2008, 47 patients with primary urethral transitional cell carcinoma received postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. Thirty-one patients had stage T_3/T_4 disease, 7 had lymph node metastasis. Thirty-nine patients had G3 tumor, 13 had stump-positive. The median radiotherapy dose was 60 Gy (36-64 Gy). 81% patients (38/47) were treated with regional irradiation. Results The median follow-up time was 21 months (6 -88 months). The follow-up rate was 92%. The median overall survival time was 35 months (5 -88 months). The 2-and 5-year overall survival rates were 57% and 49%, respectively. In univariate analysis, the median overall survival time was better in patients with stage T_1 or T_2 compared with stage T_3 or T_4 tumor (42 months vs. 19 months,Χ~2 =7. 28,P=0. 007), with age of ≤65 years compared with >65 years (28 mouths vs 18 months,Χ~2 =8.23 ,P =0. 004). There was no significantdifference in the long term survival in patients with non-radical surgery compared with radical mastectomy (21 months vs. 20 months, Χ~2 = 0. 90, P = 0. 344). In multivariate analysis, the stage T_3 or T_4 (Χ~2 = 7. 89, P =0. 005), >65 years old (Χ~2 = 4.85, P = 0. 028), renal pelvis involvement (Χ~2= 5.65, P = 0. 018), and tumor located in the mid or inferior segment (Χ~2=6. 08 ,P =0. 014) were factors associated with poorer prognosis. Conclusions Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy can improve the efficacy of patients with locally advanced urethral transitional cell carcinoma. Advanced T stage and > 65 years age are associated with poorer prognosis.

Objective To analyze the efficacy,late complications and prognostic factors of post-op-erative radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Methods From Nov. 1999 to Feb. 2005,114 patients with cervi-cal cancer received adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy after radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. The median age was 42.5 (24 to 72) years old. According to the FIGO staging system,6,51,18,26 and 13 pa-tients had stage ⅠA, Ⅰb1, Ⅰb2, ⅡA and ⅡBdisease. The pathological type was squamous cell carcinoma,ade-nocarcinoma, squamous-adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma in 92,19,2 and 1 patients, respec-tively. The whole-pelvic external beam irradiation of 50 Gy (40 to 60 Gy) was given with 6 MV or 15 MV X-ray beams using four-field box technique. Eighty-one patients received intravaginal brachytherapy of 16 Gy (4 -30 Gy in 1 -6 fractions) 4 weeks after the beginning of radiotherapy, with the referrence point being at 0.5 cm under the vaginal mucosa. Eighty-seven patients received preoperative and/or concurrent chemother-apy. The survival and independent prognostic factors were analyzed by Log-rank method and Cox model. Results The median follow-up time was 26.0 (5 - 75) months. The overall survival rate, disease-free sur-rival rate and local control rate were 93.1%, 88.1% and 94.6% at 2-year, and 75.7%, 62.3% and 85.6% at 5-year,respectively. The independent prognostic factors were lymph node metastasis and positive surgical margin for overall survival, positive surgical margin for local control, and stage, uterine body invasion and positive surgical margin for disease-free survival. Sixteen patients ( 14% ) had distant metastasis, and the most common sites were the lung,inguinal region,bone,liver and brain. According to RTOG grading sys-tem, the incidence of late gastrointestinal side effects of grade 1,2 and 3 was 11.4%, 11.4% and 3.5%. The corresponding genitourinary side effects were 14.0% ,6.1% and 0.9%, respectively. The incidence of leg lymphedema was 7 % . Conclusions Post - operative radiotherapy can achieve good local control in cervical cancer with acceptable late side effects. Distant metastasis is the main cause of death.

The incorporation of site-specific recombination systems can help to overcome bottlenecks in livestock transgenic technology. For evaluating the efficiency of Cre/lox mediated DNA recombination in embryos and somatic cells, a working model was established using rat mammary carcinoma cell line SHZ-88, aimed at creation of and use repeatedly of selected "friendly loci" in transgenic livestock. An integration vector pTE-lox2272-DsRed-loxP-GFP-loxP, which red fluorescence gene DsRed served as the first target gene and green fluorescence gene GFP as marker gene, was constructed for introduction of acceptor loci in genome. At the same time a replacement vector pT-lox2272-neo-loxP in which Neo coding sequence served as the second target gene was also constructed for replacing DsRed gene. Transgenic cell clones were produced by electroporating SHZ-88 cell with the integration vector. Cells from three transgenic clones selected randomly were further amplified and were then co-electroporated with the replacement vector as well as cre gene. Analysis of the expression patterns of DsRed and GFP indicated that among the 1 070 cell colonies the efficiency on marker GFP deletion was 91.1% and the efficiency on gene replacement was 29.3%. Molecular analysis by PCR and Southern blotting confirmed that the color patterns as expressed by cell colonies could represent the actual molecular events. This working model mediated by Cre/lox system should be useful for the improvement of the present animal transgenic technology.
