Tumor may generate from tumor stem cell and the microenvironment,and cancer stem cells are derived from the mutation of normal stem cells according to cancer stem cells hypothesis. Breast cancer stem cells are the first identified cancer stem cells in solid tumor. Breast cancer stem cells have been isolated successfully by many kinds of strategies, and their biological behaviors are gradually studied deeply. Self-renewal and differentiation of breast cancer stem cells are regulated by microenviroment and many signaling pathways. Therapy targeting breast cancer stem cells is gradually becoming the focus of tumor targeted therapy study.

Objective To study biological significance of CD44v6 and p63 protein expression in buccal squamous cell carcinomas (BSCC). Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to examine the expression of CD44v6 and p63 protein in 52 cases of BSCC,10 cases of atypical hyperplasia and 10 cases of normal buccal mucosa,which were analyzed based on clinic and pathology characteristics.Results In normal tissue,atypical hyperplastic tissue of buccal mucosa and BSCC tissue,the expression of CD44v6 decreased gradually 90.0 ％ (9/10),80.0 ％ (8/10) and 55.8 ％ (29/52),respectively,and the layers of positive expression was decreased,and the expression of p63 increased gradually,30.0 ％ (3/10),40.0 ％ (4/10) and 90.4 ％(47/52),respectively.The differences of their expression rates were significant (P ＜0.05).The expression of CD44v6 and p63 had no relationship with gender,age,tumor classification,pathological differentiation (P ＞0.05).CD44v6 was relevant with invasion style and lymphatic node metastasis of BSCC (P ＜ 0.05),while p63 has no relevance with lymphatic node metastasis of BSCC (P ＞0.05).Conclusion CD44v6 and p63 participate in the regulation of generation and deve-lopment process of BSCC.CD44v6 can be utilized as a useful marker of BSCC for detection and prediction of prognosis.p63 play a role as oncogene,which can be a useful marker for BSCC detection.CD44v6 and p63 have independent function in generation,development,metastasis and aversion of BSCC.

Objective To explore the causes of bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and its treatment.Methods From January 1998 to February 2007,totally 8600 cases of LC were performed in our hospital.Bile duct injury occurred in 36 of them,among which,the common hepatic duct was cut in 20 cases,the common bile duct was severed in 4 patients,the common hepatic duct was cut and freed in 4;incomplete clipping of the common hepatic duct or common bile duct occurred in 3 and 1 cases respectively;3 cases had injury to the conjunction of the cystic duct and common hepatic duct;electrical burn injury happened in 1 patient.Thirty one of the injured cases were detected during the laparoscopic surgery,while the other five were found because of jaundice or biliary leakage.The patients received bile duct repair and T tube drainage(24),T tube drainage(4),Roux-en-Y bowel biliary anastomosis(4),bile duct anastomosis(1),or removal of the titanium clips after the accidents.Results One of the patients who received bile duct anastomosis developed biliary stenosis after the T tube was withdrawn in 2 months after the surgery,Roux-en-Y bowel biliary anastomosis was thus performed 3 months later.Two patients who underwent Roux-en-Y anastomosis developed anastomotic stenosis after the operation,and thus received a second anastomosis in 11 months.These 3 patients who received totally 3 operations,were followed up for 2 to 3 years,none of them developed cholangitis or biliary stones.One patient in this series had refractory cholangitis,jaundice,and liver function impairment,and was cured after 1-year anti-inflammation and liver support therapy.In the other 32 patients,an 8-to 36-month follow-up(mean,16 months) was achieved,during which none of them showed any complications.Conclusions Bile duct injury can be due to lacking experience and knowledge of the complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy,inappropriate enrollment of the patients,inaccurate operation,misuse of the surgical instruments,or being unable to discern the Calot's triangle.Strict indications for the operation,advanced training for young doctors,and appropriate timing for conversion to an open surgery are necessary to decrease the rate of bile duct injury.

Objective To explore the relative importance of factors of sleep quality in predicting the anxiety and depression emotion. Methods Sleep quality and emotional condition of 112 patients with coronary heart disease were investigated with Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS)and self-rating depression scale (SDS). The relation between sleep quality and emotional condition was analyzed deeply by dominance regression analysis. Results After controlling the demographic vari-able of the sex,factors of the sleep quality such as sleep efficiency and function in the daytime had predict-ing effect on depression emotion;factors such as function in the daytime, sleep quality, sleep efficiency and sleep time possessed predicting effect on anxiety emotion. Conclusions According to different contribu-tion of various factors of sleep quality to anxiety and depression emotion, we should implement selective medical and nursing intervention during clinical work.

The relationship between apoptosis of granulosa cells and follicle development arrest in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) rats, and the contribution of tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) in apoptosis of granulosa cells were explored. By using sodium prasterone sulfate rat PCOS model was induced. The apoptosis of granulosa cells in ovaries of rats was observed by TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL), and the expression of TRAIL protein and mRNA in granulosa cells was detected by using immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) respectively. The apoptotic rate and the expression of protein TRAIL in granulosa cells were significantly higher in antral follicles from the PCOS rats than in those from the control rats (P<0.01, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in apoptotic rate and the expression of TRAIL protein in granulosa cells of preantral follicles between the PCOS rats and the control rats (P>0.05). No apoptosis and the expression of TRAIL protein in granulosa cells of primordial follicles were found in the two groups. The expression of TRAIL mRNA was significantly stronger in granulosa cells from the PCOS rats than in those from the control rats (P<0.01). It was suggested that the apoptotic rate in granulosa cells was significantly higher in antral follicle from the PCOS rats than in those from the control rats. TRAIL played a role in regulating the apoptosis of granulosa cells in PCOS rats.

To study the effects of mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) on the in vitro maturation, fertilization, cleavage and blastula formation of mouse oocytes, the immature oocytes were infected in vitro by MCMVs of different dosages (100 TCID(50), 10 TCID(50) and 1 TCID(50)). The oocytes were then observed for in vitro maturation, fertilization, cleavage and blastula formation and the ultrastructural changes after the culture with the viruses. Our results showed that no significant differences were found in IVM, IVF, cleavage and blastula formation among the groups treated with of virus of various dosages. And ultrastructural abnormality was observed in the oocytes treated by 100 TCID(50) of viruses. It is concluded that MCMV did not have any conspicuous effects on IVM, IVF, cleavage and blastula formation of murine immature oocytes.

A simple, fast flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) method for the determination of methyl-parathion has been developed. It is based on the reaction of methyl parathion with luminol-H2O2 in the alkaline medium (pH：11.5～12.0), sensitized by water-soluble macromolecule Polyethylene glycol 400. Under the optimal conditions, the CL intensity was linear to the concentration in the range of 5.0×10-8～1.0×10-5　g/mL (r=0.9996), with a detection limit (3σ) of 2.0×10-8　g/mL. Relative standard deviation was less than 4% (n=11) and the recovery was between 82%～93%. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of trace residue of methyl-parathion in grain sample.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features of bilateral primary breast cancer (BPBC) by molecular subtypes.Methods Clinical data of 145 BPBC patients were reviewed focusing on the clinicopathological features of different molecular subtype and the concordance of molecular subtype between first and second primary breast cancers.Results Of the first primary breast cancers ( FPBC),91 cases (62.8％ ) were Luminal A subtype,Luminal B subtype in 13 cases (9.0％ ),Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) subtype in 14 cases (9.7％ ),triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) in 27 cases ( 18.6％ ).Of the second primary breast cancers ( SPBC ),Luminal A subtype was found in 93 (64.1％ ) cases,Luminal B subtype in 10(6.9％ ) cases,HER-2 subtype in 14(9.7％ ) cases and TNBC in 28( 19.3％ ) cases.Most TNBC patients were young ( age ≤ 50 ) with high frequency of grade Ⅲ in FPBC.Molecular subtypes do not vary with tumor size,clinical stage,lymph node status and pathological types ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Most FPBC of Luminal A and TNBC were concordant same subtypes in SPBC ( K ＞ 0.04 ),while Luminal B and HER-2 subtypes often had discordant phenotypes in SPBC ( K ＜ 0.04).BPBC were more likely to have concordant subtypes if the two tumors developed in short time interval.Conclusions The distribution and clinical leatures of each subtype in BPBC is similar to unilateral breast cancer.Patients whose FPBC are Luminal A or TNBC often have concordant phenotypes for their SPBC,a short time interval between two cancers also predicts concordance.

Objective To observe the effect of Ganoderma Lucidum (GL) on counteracting lipid peroxidation in cultured vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC)and to explore its therapeutic mechanism for atherosclerosis. Methods The effects of GL on the content of lipid peroxide(LPO)and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)in medium were studied .
