BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that bone marrow messenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can repairinjured myocardium and improve cardiac functions. However, there are still no effective non-invasive methods to detect ventricular wall motion, survival status of transplanted cells, and microcirculation improvement after MSCsimplantation. OBJECTIVE: To detect the effects of MSCs implantation on the cardiac function of ischemic myoeardium and investigate changes of tissue acoustics characteristics by using integrated backscatter (IBS) and Doppler tissue imaging (DT1). DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Completely randomized grouping design, and randomized controlled study, which was carried out in the Department of Cardiology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2004 to June 2005 (important laboratory of 211 government). MATERIALS: Forty-eight male rabbits with irrespective of gender were used for study. Anti-troponin T (TnT) antibody was provided by Maxim Company, USA; anti-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) antibody by Sigma Company, USA; Sonos 5500 echocardiography by HP Company, USA.METHODS: Forty-eight rabbits were randomly divided into model group and implantation group. Model of myocardium infarction was created in rabbits by left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation. Three days after modeling, autologous bone marrow MSCs were injected into crossed myocardium between infarction and non-infarction regions based on 5 injected points.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Indicators including ventricular size, ventricular wall thickness, and ejection fraction (EF) in the left ventricle (LV) were measured with routine echocardiography one day before myocardial infarction, two weeks after myocardial infarction, and four weeks after implantation. IBS and DTI might detect the anterior backscatter parameters (AII, or IB) and ventricular wall motion parameters (PPI, or CVIB) to calculate the average backscatter scores and backscatter cycle changes. DTI was used to measure peak systolic flow velocity (VS), peak early diastolic flow velocity (VE), and peak late diastolic flow velocity (VA) of the middle and basal segments of the anterior wall of left ventricle. Finally, animals were sacrificed by anesthesia, and myocardial infarction region was stained with 5-Brdu immunohistochemical staining, and anti-TnT staining. RESULTS: Twelve rabbits were excluded because of death after operation.① Echocardiography: Imaging of 36 rabbits were clear in 1 day before myocardial infarction, 2 weeks after myocardial infarction, and 4 weeks after implantation. The sizes and systolic function of LV in 36 rabbits were normal before operation. Two weeks after operation, the sizes of LV became larger, the anterior wall of LV became thinner, and systolic range became weaker even disappeared. EF, CVIB, Vs, and Ve were lower (P < 0.05) and All was higher in both groups than pre-operation (P < 0.05). Four weeks after implantation, compared with control group, left ventricular diastolic diameter (LVDd) was smaller and systolic range became larger, All descended. EF, Vs, Ve and CVIB increased (P < 0.05).② Myocardial immunohistochemical detection: Numerous of Brdu-labeled positive cells were scattered, and anti-TnT was positive, which clearly showed horizontal stria of myocardium. However, normal myocardium was negative. CONCLUSION: Bone marrow MSCs after implantation can survive in ischemic myocardium and improve cardiac function. IBS and DTI can real-timely and exactly detect functional changes of infarction myocardium after bone marrow MSCs implantation.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of Siewert classification and microsatellite instability(MSI) and HER2 expression in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods:The clinicopathological data of gastric adenocarcinoma from May 2019 to November 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: AEG group and non AEG group. The composition ratio of Siewert type of AEG was counted, and the relationship between tumor size and Siewert type was analyzed. The MSI status and HER2 expression status of AEG and non AEG were statistically compared. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation( Mean± SD), the comparison between groups were by t test, the comparison of count data between groups were by Chi-square test. Results:A total of 328 consecutive cases of gastric adenocarcinoma were collected, including 242 cases of AEG and 86 cases of non AEG. The Siewert classification of AEG was mainly type Ⅱ (151 cases, 62.40%), followed by type Ⅲ (86 cases, 35.54%) and type Ⅰ (5 cases, 2.07%). The analysis of the relationship between the size of the tumor length and the number of Siewert type showed that the number of Siewert type Ⅱ cases decreased and the number of Siewert type Ⅲ cases increased with the increase of the tumor size. MSI status was detected non selectively in 192 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma (140 cases of AEG and 52 cases of non AEG). There were 12 cases of MSI (6.25%), 2 cases of MSI-H (1.04%) and 10 cases of MSI-L (5.21%). There was no significant difference in MSI ratio between AEG group and non AEG group ( P>0.05). All MSI cases were negative or weakly positive for PMS2. The expression of HER2 was detected by immunohistochemistry in 313 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma, except 15 cases of PTIS/T1a. There were 30 cases (9.58%) with HER2 expression 3+ . Thirty-two cases (10.22%) expressed HER2 (2+ ), of which 7 cases were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and 3 cases were positive. The proportion of HER2 (3+ ) in AEG was significantly higher than that in non AEG group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The main type of AEG was Siewert type Ⅱ. AEG may mostly occur between 1 cm above the esophagogastric junction and 2 cm below the esophagogastric junction; For endoscopic screening of early AEG, more attention should be paid to this area of stomach. Siewert type Ⅲ may be derived from the development of Siewert type Ⅱ. The incidence of microsatellite instability in gastric cancer is low. Compared with other gastric adenocarcinoma, AEG has no specificity in MSI. The MSI of AEG was mainly the expression defect of PMS2. Compared with other gastric adenocarcinoma, there are more HER2 overexpression in AEG.

Objective:To explore the impact of Cullin5 on the radiosensitivity of glioblastoma multiforme cell and its underlying mechanisms.Methods:Glioblastoma U251 cells were transfected with flag-NC plasmids and overexpression plasmids (flag-Cullin5), and divided into the flag-NC group and flag-Cullin5 group. The expression levels of Cullin5 and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) mRNA and protein were assessed using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. After exposing U251 cells to 0, 2, 4, and 8 Gy X-ray radiation, cell viability was evaluated via the CCK-8 assay, and apoptosis rates were measured using flow cytometry. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to detect the interaction between Cullin5 and PD-L1, and ubiquitination assays were conducted to investigate the ubiquitination effect of Cullin5 on PD-L1. Cells were further transfected with PD-L1 overexpression (oe-PD-L1) and flag-Cullin5 and assigned into the flag-Cullin5 group, flag-Cullin5+oe-NC group, and flag-Cullin5+oe-PD-L1 group. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression levels of Cullin5 and PD-L1 mRNA and protein post-X-ray radiation in these groups. Cell survival rates and apoptosis rates were measured following radiation. Statistical differences between two or among multiple groups were analyzed using LSD- t test or one-way ANOVA. Results:Compared with the flag-NC group, the flag-Cullin5 group showed increased expression levels of Cullin5 mRNA and protein, and decreased PD-L1 protein expression (all P<0.05). Following radiation doses of 4 and 8 Gy, there was a reduction in cell survival rates and an increase in apoptosis rates (both P<0.05). Co-immunoprecipitation assay revealed the presence of PD-L1 in the Cullin5 immunoprecipitate and vice versa. Ubiquitination levels of PD-L1 protein were higher in the flag-Cullin5 group compared to those in the flag-NC group. Additionally, compared to the flag-Cullin5 group, the flag-Cullin5+oe-PD-L1 group exhibited increased PD-L1 mRNA and protein levels (both P<0.05), and following radiation doses of 4 and 8 Gy, these cells showed higher survival rates and lower apoptosis rates (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Cullin5 enhances the radiosensitivity of glioblastoma multiforme cells to radiation therapy through mediating the ubiquitination degradation of PD-L1.
