Objective To establish osteosarcoma vaccine by the LM9 osteosarcoma derived from C3h mice hybridized with activated B lymphocytes and study its biological behavior and the antitumor efficacy. Methods The LM9 osteosarcoma derived from C3h mice was fused with LPS activated B lymphocytes by using 50%PEG. The fused cells was selected by HAT medium and cultured in vitro, and the biocharacter and efficacy of the fusion vaccine were investigated. Results In contrast to LM8, the fused cells grew significantly slowly in vitro. All the mice under the protection of fused vaccine survived without tumor (8/8), while all the mice in the control group succumbed to the tumor with no survival (8/8), 75%of the mice inoculated subcutaneously with cell fusion vaccine survived without tumor burden after implantation of LM8 cells subcutaneously. The mice in the control group developed tumors and died within 45 days without any exception. Conclusion It is possible that the LM9 osteosarcoma biology characteristics change after fused with LPS activated B lymphocytes. Cell fusion osteosarcoma vaccine could produce prophylactic and therapeutic effects in mice.

Objective To investigate the effects of maternal deprivation on chronic stress?induced depression behavior and its characteristics in adult rats,and to evaluate the effects of maternal deprivation on the efficacy of escitalopram. Methods Newborn SD male rats were randomly divided into control ( C ) group,maternal deprivation (MD) group,chronic unpredictable stress (CUPS) group,maternal deprivation and chronic unpredictable stress ( MD+CUPS) group. Rats in control group received no experimental han?dling.Rats in MD group and MD+CUPS group received maternal deprivation from the lst day after birth for 14 days.Rats in CUPS group and MD+CUPS group received chronic unpredictable stress from 10 th weeks after birth for 28 days. Screened the rats with depression behaviors and treated them with escitalopram for 4 weeks. Results The incidence of anhedonia was significantly different among 4 groups (χ2=143.24, P<0.05). Pairwise comparison showed significant difference between any two groups (MD+CUPS group (75.76%) >CUPS group (40.98%) > MD group (17.11%) >C group (4.17%), P<0.0083). The incidence of behav?ioral despair was significantly different among 4 groups (χ2=70.34, P<0.05). Pairwise comparison showed the incidence of behavioral despair in MD+CUPS group (43.43%) and CUPS group (39.34%) were signifi?cantly higher than that in MD group (13.51%) and C group (3.33%),but no difference was observed be?tween MD+CUPS and CUPS group (P<0.0083) . The incidence of behavioral despair in MD group was signif?icant higher than that in C group. There was no significant efficacy of escitalopram on anhedonia and behav?ioral despair among 3 stressed models. However the recovery incidence from anhedonia (44/140) was significantly lower than that from behavioral despair (76/140) (χ2=14.93, P<0.05). Conclusion The maternal deprivation in?creases the stress sensitivity and the incidences of anhedonia in adult rats.The efficacy of escitalopram on behavioral despair is higher than that on anhedonia without influence from maternal deprivation.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of miR-133b on the apoptosis and radiosensitivity of colon cancer cell line (SW620 cells), and to explore its mechanism.Methods:SW620 cells were transfected with miR-con (miR-con group), miR-133b mimics (miR-133b group), si-con (si-con group) and si-HER-2(si-HER-2 group) by the liposome method, and then irradiated with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 Gy. The miR-133b protein expression, HER-2 protein expression, apoptosis, cell survival fraction and cytofluoroactivity in each group were evaluated by qRT-PCR, Western blot, flow cytometry, colony formation assay and dual luciferase reporter gene assay, respectively.Results:Compared with the pre-irradiation group, the expression level of miR-133b was significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05), whereas that of HER-2 was significantly up-regulated in SW620 cells after irradiation ( P<0.05). Overexpression of miR-133b and knockdown of HER-2 remarkably reduced the survival fraction (both P<0.05), and significantly promoted the apoptosis of SW620 cells ( P<0.05). miR-133b could considerably inhibit the fluorescent activity of wild-type HER-2 cells ( P<0.05) and negatively regulate the expression of HER-2 protein. Conclusion:miR-133b can inhibit the survival of colon cancer cells, promote the apoptosis and enhance the sensitivity of radiotherapy probably via the mechanism of targeting HER-2.

Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are known to be involved in the initiation and progression of many malignancies, and the different subtypes of VGSCs play important roles in the metastasis cascade of many tumors. This study investigated the functional expression of Nav1.5 and its effect on invasion behavior of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. The mRNA and protein expression of Nav1.5 was detected by real time PCR, Western Blot and immunofluorescence. The effects of Nav1.5 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion were respectively assessed by MTT and Transwell. The effects of Nav1.5 on the secretion of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) by MDA-MB-231 were analyzed by RT-PCR. The over-expressed Nav1.5 was present on the membrane of MDA-MB-231 cells. The invasion ability in vitro and the MMP-9 mRNA expression were respectively decreased to (47.82+/-0.53)% and (43.97+/-0.64)% (P<0.05) respectively in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with VGSCs specific inhibitor tetrodotoxin (TTX) by blocking Nav1.5 activity. It was concluded that Nav1.5 functional expression potentiated the invasive behavior of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 by increasing the secretion of MMP-9.

AIM:To observe and compare clinical effects of coaxial 1. 8mm microincision phacoemulsification and 3. 2mm small incision phacoemulsification.
●METHODS:A total of 117 eyes of 85 patients with age-related cataract in our hospital were divided randomly into two groups:43 patients (59 eyes) in the coaxial 1. 8 mm microincision cataract surgery group ( C - MlCS ) , 42 patients (58 eyes) in the coaxial 3. 2 mm traditional small incision cataract surgery group (C-SlCS). A total of 117 eyes were received phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Uncorrected visual acuity was recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 7, 30 and 90d. The effective phacoemulsification time and average ultrasound energy were recorded in surgery. Corneal endothelial cell and corneal topography were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 90 d.
●RESULTS:Uncorrected visual acuity ( logMAR) was no overall statistical significance difference between C-MlCS group and C-SlCS group (P>0. 05), but was significant statistical difference in different time-point within both groups(P<0. 05). Uncorrected visual acuity in different time-point had nothing to do with corneal wound size in cataract surgery(P>0. 05). On the 1 day after surgery, uncorrected visual acuity was 0. 16±0. 11 in C-MlCS group and 0. 22±0. 18 in C-SlCS group(P<0. 05). AVE was (7. 00± 2.72)% in C-MlCS group and (6. 16±3. 16)% in C-SlCS group (P>0. 05). EPT was (3. 09±1. 61)s in C-MlCS group and (3. 20±1. 92)s in C-SlCS group (P>0. 05). At 90 d after surgery, corneal endothelial cell loss percentage was (5. 81±2. 28)% in C-MlCS group and (5. 69±2. 38)% in C-SlCS group (P>0.05), SlA was (0.35±0.11) Din C-MlCS group and (0. 61±0. 13) D in C-SlCS group (P<0. 05).
● CONCLUSION: Compared with coaxial 3. 2mm traditional small incision cataract surgery, 1. 8mm coaxial microincision cataract surgery can get earlier visual rehabilitation and significantly reduce SlA. The coaxial 1. 8mm microincision cataract surgery is safe, effective and deserves further clinical applications.
