Transcription factorhypoxia inducible factor -1(HIF-1)plays a key role in cell adaption to hypoxia(from 21%O2 to 1%O2).Researches have shown that HIF -1 is closely related to occurrence and de-velopment in many malignant cancers .In this paper,we review the effect of HIF -1 in tumor growth,metastasis, apoptosis and angiogenesis .

Rectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in the gastrointestinal system.For the patients with resectable but high-risk rectal cancer,neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemoradiation plus surgery may improve local control.Compared to adjuvant chemoradiation,neoadjuvant chemoradiation showed the advantage of sphincter preservation.When the goal of preoperative chemoradiation was sphincter preservation,conventional radiotherapy was recommended.Through the analysis of the patients with 5-year survivals,the radiation had a similar impact on the survival as the chemotherapy alone for the patients with the intermediate risk factors.The impact on local control need to be further investigated before recommending chemotherapy alone for those subset patients.Advances in preoperative irradiation,postoperative irradiation and the comparison of preoperative irradiation with postoperative irradiation are also reviewed in this article.

AIM: To explore the effect of acute and chronic hypoxia on the chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes(PMNs) of rats.METHODS: Serum and PMNs were separated from rats under normoxia, acute hypoxia and chronic hypoxia condition,and cell aspiration technology system was used to determine the chemotactic migration of pseudopod of PMNs induced by serum as chemotactic factor.RESULTS: Induced by autoserum,the length of pseudopod of PMNs migrated into micropipette [(1.200?0.178)?m,(1.094?0.164)?m ]under acute hypoxic and chronic hypoxic condition was significantly longer than the corresponding value for control[(0.914?0.156)?m,P

Objective To observe the application effect of mental nursing on perioperative nursing of patients. Methods 66 patients with cutaneous carcinoma were randomly divided into the conventional nurs-ing group and the psychological intervention group. The conventional nursing group received perioperative mu-fine nursing,the psychological intervention group was given mental intervention before,during and after operation based on routine nursing. The anxiety value was measured before and 30 minutes after the operation, pain de-gree was assessed 30 minutes after the operation,the results underwent t test and X2 teat. Results Compared to the conventional nursing group, the anxiety value before the operation and 30 minutes pestoperation as well as pain degree 30 minutes pestoperation of the psychological intervention group were significantly decreased. Conclusions Mental nursing of patients with cutaneous carcinoma can efficiently eliminate or re-duco patients' psychologic obstacle and significantly reduce patients' painful feeling.

As a tool, cholelithiasis animal models have become an important platform for pathogenetic, preventative, diagnostic and therapeutic research. As biliary calculus formation has a close relationship with dysfunction of hepatic and biliary systems, inability of lipid metabolism homeostasis and impairment of immunologic barriers, increasing studies have been carried out with the use of animal models in these fields. Animal genetic susceptibility to cholelithiasis has greatly attracted people's attention in recent years and cholelithiasis animal models have been used in Chinese traditional medicine development and authentication. Furthermore, reports on invasive and traumatic research have been published in which large animal models were used. It is supposed that technical progress and scientists' demands would result in wide application of more kinds of cholelithiasis animal models.

BACKGROUND:We have previously prepared acellular nerve graft and implanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into the graft, to successful y construct tissue engineered artificial nerves.
OBJECTIVE:Horseradish peroxidase nerve retrograde tracer technique was used to evaluate protective effects on sensory neurons fol owing sciatic nerve defect bridging with tissue engineered artificial nerves constructed by acellular nerve graft and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in rats.
METHODS:Adult, clean, healthy, male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three group:(1) Experimental group:Rat sciatic nerve detect was bridged by acellular nerve graft combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells;(2) Blank control group:Rat sciatic nerve defect was bridged by acellular nerve graft;(3) Autologous nerve control group:Rat sciatic nerve defect was bridged by autologous nerve transplantation. Regeneration of sensory neurons in the spinal dorsal root ganglia was assessed using horseradish peroxidase nerve retrograde tracer technique at 12 weeks fol owing surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Sensory neuron regeneration in the spinal dorsal root ganglia at 12 weeks fol owing surgery was better in the experimental group compared with blank control group. No significant difference was detected between experimental group and autologous nerve control group. S-100 immunohistochemical staining in plantar skin showed brown positive reaction in each group. These findings indicate that tissue engineered artificial nerves constructed by acellular nerve graft and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have protective effects on sensory neurons in the spinal dorsal root ganglia, and can promote the recovery of sensory function and repair sciatic nerve defect in rats.

[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToobservetheeffectofthesignalingpathwayofproteinkinaseC(PKC)-nuclearfactor-ery-throid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) on the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) in the rat airway epithelial cells .METHODS:After exposed to CSE , the airway epithelial cells of male SD rats were di-vided into control group , CSE3 group, RO318220 group, Nrf2 siRNA group and RO318220+Nrf2 siRNA group.The pro-tein levels of HO-1, Nrf2 and PKC were semi-quantified by Western blotting .The protein expression of HO-1 was assessed by immunocytochemistry .The mRNA expression of HO-1 was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) .Nrf2 protein location was observed by immunofluorescence staining .HO-1 activity was also determined .RE-SULTS:After exposure to CSE for 3 h, the Nrf2 protein was mainly located in the nucleus , and the expression level of Nrf2 protein in the nucleus was stronger than that in the control cells .CSE also significantly enhanced the levels of p-PKC protein, and HO-1 mRNA, protein and activity .Pretreatment with RO318220 significantly decreased the levels of PKC pro-tein, Nrf2 protein, and HO-1 mRNA, protein and activity.Meanwhile, Nrf2 protein significantly decreased , and the activ-ity, mRNA and protein levels of HO-1 were also significantly attenuated by pretreatment with siRNA to knock down Nrf2. Pretreatment with RO318220 and Nrf2 siRNA significantly decreased the PKC protein , Nrf2 protein, and HO-1 mRNA, protein and activity .CONCLUSION:CSE up-regulates the HO-1 expression through PKC-induced nuclear translocation of Nrf2 in the rat airway epithelial cells .

BACKGROUND: To summarize the feature and clinical application of various injectable bone substitutes.DATA SOURCES: The computer-based research was done in Pubmed database for articles concerning various injectable bone substitutes published from January 1995 to May 2009 with the key words of "injectable bone substitute, bone injury" in titles and abstracts. Literatures of the same fields published in recent years or in authorized journals were selected.DATA SELECTION: Latest literatures addressing feature and clinical application of various injectable bone substitutes were selected; old and repetitive studies were excluded. Finally, 21 articles were included.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Feature and clinical application of various injectable bone substitutes were measured.RESULTS: Present various injectable bone substitutes contained complex hydroxyapatite bone substitutes, complex calcium sulfate bone substitutes, and complex calcium phosphate bone substitutes. Addition of bone morphogenetic protein-2 etc. in injectable bone substitute could significantly elevate bone union speed, promote osteoblastic proliferation, and overcome disadvantage of physical bone substitute to some degrees. Addition of platelet-rich plasma could promote repair effect of injectable bone substitute on bone defects, and promote differentiation of bone marrow stromal stem cells and proliferation of osteoblasts. Addition of cells could make up the insufficiency of physical materials to great degrees.CONCLUSION: The compound injectable bone substitute has a bright perspective of clinical application. Injectable bone substitutes combined with cells (especially stem cells) will be a new direction for biomaterial development in the future.
