Objective: To investigate the correlation between eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3, subunit A (eIF3a) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) expression and ovarian cancer. Methods: RT-PCR or immunohistochemistry was used to examine eIF3a and HE4 mRNA or protein expression in ovarian tissues from patients with ovarian cancer (n=181) or benign ovariantumors, or from the healthy women. Results: hTere were signiifcant differences in mRNA and protein expression of eIF3a and HE4 among normal ovarian tissues, benign ovarian tumor tissues, and ovarian cancer tissues (P<0.05). hTere were signiifcant differences in mRNA expression of eIF3a and HE4 between the normal tissues and the ovarian cancer tissues, or between the benign ovarian tumor tissues and the normal tissues (P<0.001). hTe mRNA expression of eIF3a in the normal ovarian tissues was signiifcantly higher than that in the benign ovarian tumor tissues or that in the ovarian cancer tissues. hTe mRNA expression of HE4 was gradually increased from the normal ovarian tissues, the benign ovarian tumor tissues to the ovarian cancer tissues. hTe mRNA expression of HE4 in the ovarian cancer tissues was signiifcantly higher than that in the benign ovarian tumor tissues (P<0.001). Positive expression rates for eIF3a or HE4 protein in normal, benign tumor, and cancer tissues were 0, 66.7%, and 81.0% or 0, 27.8%, and 56.2%, respectively. hTere were signiifcant differences in positive expression rates of eIF3a protein and HE4 protein between the ovarian tumor tissues and benign ovarian tumor tissues, between the ovarian cancer tissues and the normal ovarian tissues, or between the benign ovarian tumor tissues and the normal ovarian tissues (P<0.001). hTe eIF3a protein expression was positively correlated with HE4 protein expression (r=0.575,P<0.05). Conclusion: The expressions of eIF3a and HE4 are associated with ovarian cancer, and extracellular regulated protein kinases may play a role in the interaction between eIF3a and HE4.

BACKGROUND: Studies regarding Feridex in vitro cell labeling are mainly in rodents, while little information is known on primate crab-eating macaque.OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of protocols using Feridex and transfection agents for in vitro magnetic labeling of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in crab-eating macaque.METHODS: Under the sterile condition, the crab-eating macaque BMSCs were obtained by means of density gradient centrifugation following a bone puncture. Feridex-poly-l-lysine complexes were used to magnetically label BMSCs. The efficiency and cellular viability of Feridex-poly-l-lysine labeled BMSCs were evaluated by Prussian blue staining, electron microscopy, and trypan blue dye exclusion test. The proliferation and differentiation ability of Feridex-poly-l-lysine labeling BMSCs were also investigated by inverted phase contrast microscope and immunocytochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: BMSCs could be effectively labeled by Feridex and labeling efficiency was around 99%. Tiny blue stained fine particles and numerous vesicles coated with the electron-dense magnetic iron particles could be found in the cytoplasm of Feridex-poly-l-lysine labeled BMSCs under optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy respectively. Cell viability, proliferation and differentiation ability of labeled BMSCs were not affected by Feridex-poly-l-lysine labeling. Results indicated that Feridex might be used to label BMSCs of crab-eating macaque.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the angiographic features and factors related to the blood supply from right inferior phrenic artery (RIPA) branches in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
METHODSAngiography images of blood supply from RIPA branches and clinical data from patients with HCC who had undergone tmnscatheter arterial chemoembolization in our hospital between 2009 and 2013 were collected for retrospective analysis. Angiographic features of the RIPA branches were assessed for correlation between treatment number, growth pattern, size, tumor location, and rates of blood supplying RIPA branches. Statistical analyses were carried out using chi-square test, t-test, Fisher's exact test and rank sum test.
RESULTSThe 140 patients included in the analysis were grouped according to primary HCC (n=63; group A) and recurrent HCC (n=77; group B) and no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups for incidence of each nutrient branch or total number of nutrient branches. In group A, tumor size was associated with number of nutrient branches (P=0.047). There were 32 cases with HCC lesions in the bare area of the liver, and among those 26 of the cases were supplied by the posterior branch of RIPA. Each branch of RIPA showed greater firequency for particular blood supply areas; the anterior branch (n=55) and lateral branch (n=98) fed tumor lesions in segments 7 and 8, the posterior branch (n=98) fed tumor lesions in segments 6 and 7, and the supra-renal branch (n=10) fed tumor lesions in segment 6. The diaphragmatic branch always fed HCC partly located in segments 4 and 8 (n=17). Unique features were present on the digitally subtracted angiography (DSA) image for each nutrient branch and may be useful for distinguishing in clinical examination.
CONCLUSIONCases of primary HCC and recurrent HCC are not distinguishable by incidence of each nutrient branch or total numbers of the nutrient branches. However, tumor size is related to the number of RIPA nutrient branches, and each RIPA nutrient branch shows a dominant preference for certain blood supply areas, with unique features on DSA.
