Ductular reaction (DR) is a phenomenon that refers to impaired hepatocellular proliferation and activated hepatic stem cells at times of demand such as hepatic regeneration.The components of ductular reactions are thought to be derived from activated hepatic progenitor cells,intermediate hepatobiliary cells,and reactive ductular cells.DRs are thought to play two roles in hepatocarcinogenesis:their hepatic progenitor cells may undergo malignant transformation and migration,and they may contribute to the development of the tumor's microenvironment.Exploring DR phenotype,cellular diversity,and relationship to hepatocarcinogenesis will further enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of human hepatocellular carcinoma with an ultimate goal of developing new therapies.

Objective To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of erlotinib,an epidermal growth factor recceptor inhibitor,on human pancreatic cancer cell lines BxPC3 in vitro.Methods Methyhhiazolyhetrazolium(MTT)assay was used to detected the proliferation of BxPC3 after exposure to erlotinib,apoptosis and cell cycle changes were studied by flow eytometry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling assay(TUNEL).The expressions of bcl-2 mRNA,bax mRNA,bcl-xL mRNA and bak mRNA were determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Results Edotinib inhibited BxPC3 cells growth in a dose and time dependent manner in vitro.The cell viabilities in erlotinib 1 μmol/L and 100 μmol/L groups 72 h later were(90.25 ±2.62)%and(40.75 ±2.98)%,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).The cell viability in edotinib 50 μmol/L groups 24 h and 96 h after BxPC3 exposure were(74.0±4.08)%and(49.50 ±1.29)%,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).Cell apoptosis rate in erlotinib 50 μmol/L group was(11.0 μ1.1)%,which was significantly higher than(6.2 ±1.1)%in control group(P<0.01).G_0/G_1 cell accounted for (73.4±1.3)%of all the cells,which was significantly higher than(63.3 ±1.O)%in control group.With transmission electron microscope,the morphology of BxPC3 ceils showed typical apoptosis and apoptotic body. The expressions of bcl-2 mRNA,bel-xl mRNA were down-regulated,while the expression of bax mRNA was slightly up-regulated,and the expression of bak mRNA was not affected.Conclusions The growth of BxPC3 cells could be suppressed by erlotinib and possible mechanisms involved blocking cell cycle,up-regulating apoptosis proteins and down-regulating apoptosis inhibitor proteins.

BACKGROUND:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is classified into four types, and the major treatment is to tonify kidney and nourishyin, clear blood stasis and toxin by the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Even though, there are stil many patients with poor efficacy. Mesenchymal stem cels have the capacity of multiple differentiation, hematopoietic support and immune regulation, thus having been used for the treatment of refractory, recurrent SLE and achieving good effects. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on SLE patients with different patterns of syndromes. METHODS: Twenty-one SLE patients were clustered to four syndrome types of TCM, including heat-toxin,yin deficiency of liver and kidney,yang deficiency of spleen and kidney, andqi stagnation and blood stasis. The changes in clinical and laboratory indicators were analyzed statisticaly before and after cel transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The level of 24-hour proteinuria and SLE disease activity index scores in SLE patients were significantly decreased at 1, 3, 6 months after cel transplantation (P < 0.01). Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation could significantly reduce the 24-hour proteinuria in SLE patients withyin deficiency of liver and kidney at 1, 3 and 6 months (P < 0.01), while slightly reduce the 24-hour proteinuria in SLE patients with heat-toxin andqi stagnation and blood stasis at 1, 3 months (P < 0.05) as wel as in SLE patients withyang deficiency of spleen and kidney at 1 month (P < 0.05). Additionaly, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation could increase the serum albumin levels in al the SLE patients (P < 0.01), although the changes in patients with heat-toxin were moderate (P < 0.05). Al the SLE patients of four types had an increasing trend of their platelet counting after cel transplantation, but there was no statistical difference before and after cel transplantation. Taken together, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation is effective for treatment of SLE, but has different therapeutic efficacy on SLE patients with different syndrome types of TCM.

Objective To observe the effect of moxibustion on the proliferation of neural stem cells after cerebral ischemia- reperfusion in rat models.Method The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was developed by using modified Zea-Longa method. Seventy-two Wistar rats were randomized into group A (sham-operation group), group B (model group) and group C (moxibustion group). Each group was then further divided into 4 sub-groups according to different time points: 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, and 21 d, 6 rats in each sub-group. For each group, Baihui (GV 20) and bilateral Taiyang (EX-HN 5) were selected to study. The proliferated cells were marked by intraperitoneal injection of BrdU, and TTC staining and HE staining were adopted to detect the pathological changes of brain tissues after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Immunohistochemical method was used to dynamically detect the positive expressions of BrdU and Nestin cells in DG and SVZ zones at different time points, and microscope image analysis was taken to study the positive expressions.Result The neurological deficit score in group C was significantly lower than that in group B at each time point (P<0.05). The neurological deficit score in group C was significantly different from that in group B at the same time point (P<0.05). Moxibustion can up-regulate the expression of BrdU in SVZ and DG, and the increase started from the 3rd day and reached the peak on the 7th day. The increase of BrdU expression in group C was more significant than that in group B (P<0.05). Moxibustion can up-regulate the expression of Nestin in SVZ and DG, and the increase started from the 3rd day and reached the peak on the 7th day. The increase of Nestin expression in group C was more significant than that in group B (P<0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion can remarkably promote the recovery of nerve function and the proliferation of BrdU and Nestin after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.

Objective To investigate the correlation between prostacyclin synthase (prostaglandin I2 synthase, PGIS) gene rs5602 single nucleotide polymorphism and ischemia stroke in Chinese Han population. Methods The patients with ischemia stroke and healthy controls in Chinese Han population were enroled. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) was used to detect the rs5602 polymorphism. Results A total of 297 patients with ischemic stroke (male 177 and female 120) and 291 healthy controls (male 165, female 126) over the same period were enroled. The frequencies of TT genotype (31. 1% vs. 43. 6% ; χ2 = 5. 773, P = 0. 016) and T alele (56. 8% vs. 65. 8% ; χ2 = 5. 793, P = 0. 016) in the male patients with ischemic stroke were significantly lower than those in the male healthy controls. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the rs5602 TT genotype was a protective factor for ischemic stroke in male (odds ratio 0. 260, 95% confidence interval 0. 118-0. 570; P = 0. 001). Conclusions PGIS gene rs5602 polymorphism is associated with ischemic stroke in male in Chinese Han population.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA and EBV serology markers and evaluate the clinical application values in different diseases.Methods Plasma samples from 397 diagnosed EBV infection-associated patients and 120 health donors from May 2014 to November 2015 in Wuhan Tongji Hospital were collected.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was performed to detect the levels of EBV-DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cell and plasma.ELISA was used to detect VCA IgA,VCA IgM,VCA IgG,EA(D) IgG and EBNA IgG antibodies in plasma.The positive rate of EBV-DNA and EBV antibodies were counted in each group according to the detection threshold.Kappa statistic and Spearman sank correlation test were used to analysis the correlation and uniformity between EBV-DNA and EBV serology indicators.Results The positive rate of VCA IgG in patient and health control was 94.2% (374/397) and 93.3% (112/120) respectively (χ2=0.125,P=0.67);The positive rate of EBNA IgG in patient and health control was 95.4% (379/397) and 95.0% (114/120) respectively (χ2=0.045,P=0.807);but the positive rate of VCA IgM was 5.5% (22/397) and 0% (0/120) respectively (χ2=6.9,P<0.01);The positive rate of VCA IgA was 43.3% (172/397) and 9.2% (10/120) respectively (χ2=49.5,P<0.01);The positive rate of EA(D) IgG was 42.0% (167/397) and 7.5% (9/120) respectively (χ2=49,P<0.01).The positive rate of EBV-DNA was 65.5% (260/397) and 16.7% (20/120) respectively (χ2=88.5,P<0.01);The positive rate of EBV-DNA in plasma was 45.8% (182/397) and 5.0% (6/120) respectively (χ2=66.4,P<0.01).Furthermore,the uniformity and Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between EBV-DNA and EBV serology indicators.The correlation analysis between PBMC EBV-DNA and VCA IgM,VCA IgA,EA(D) IgG showed the Kappa was 0.073,0.147,0.073,respectively;the correlation analysis between plasma EBV-DNA and VCA IgM,VCA IgA,EA(D) IgG showed the Kappa was 0.144,0.369,0.288,respectively.Thus,the patients were divided into different groups according to the discharge diagnosis,it was observed that the positive rates of EBV-DNA is more than 90% in extra-nodal NK/T cells lymphoma,EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphoid tissue hyperplasia,chronic active EBV infection and infectious mononucleosis.In nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients,the positive rate of EBV antibodies (VCA IgA and EA(D) IgG) were higher than the detection of EBV-DNA.Conclusions There was no significant correlation between EBV-DNA and EBV serology markers for the same sample.The clinical application values of EBV DNA and EBV serology markers were not identical in nasopharyngeal carcinoma,extra-nodal NK/T cells lymphoma,infectious mononucleosis and EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphoid tissue hyperplasia.
