BACKGROUND:Stem cel transplantation has a certain effect in the treatment pulmonary arterial hypertension.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s transplantation on the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and to discuss the mechanism.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were in vitro cultured, purified and amplified by density gradient centrifugation method, and labeled with the fluorescent dye for preparation. Pulmonary arterial hypertension model was established by subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline. One week after modeling, the rats were randomly divided into three groups. Rats in the stem cel transplantation group and pulmonary arterial hypertension group received subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline to establish the pulmonary arterial hypertension model. One week later, the rats in the stem cel transplantation group received sublingual vein injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel solution, the rats in the pulmonary arterial hypertension group were injected with the culture medium without stem cel s, and the rats in the control group were injected with the normal saline in the same dose.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks after transplantation, compared with the mesenchymal-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension rats, the hemodynamic parameters and the ratio of right ventricular/body weight of the rats in the stem cel transplantation group were significantly improved (P<0.05);the degree of pulmonary vascular remodeling was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Fluorescence microscope observation showed that the transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s could alive at least 2 weeks in the stem cel transplantation group, and part of the stem cel s could differentiate into pulmonary vascular endothelial cel s. The results show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can significantly improve the pulmonary vascular and right ventricular structural impairments in the rats with mesenchymal-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Objective Vimentin is the major protein consisting of intermediate filaments in normal and neoplastic mesenchymal cells.It has been regarded as a marker of epithelial mesenchymal transition( EMT) .How-ever,little is known about colorectal cancer( CRC) with Vimentin expression as a marker of EMT and prognosis. Methods We investigated the expression of Vimentin in CRC tissues and determined the correlations between Vimentin expression patterns and clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis in CRC.In total,189 patients di-agnosed with CRC based on histopathological evaluation and those subjected to surgical resection at the Liaoning Province Cancer Hospital and Institute between 2000 and 2002 were examined.Immunohistochemical staining for Vimentin was performed for each specimen.Results Positive expression of Vimentin was significantly associated with the lymph node metastasis(pN stage,P=0.038),TNM stage(P=0.024).Survival analysis revealed that positive Vimentin expression was significantly related to poor prognosis ( P =0.016 ) .Multivariate analysis re-vealed that Vimentin expression was an independent prognostic factor for patient survival in colorectal cancer ( P=0.026) .Conclusion In conclusion,our data provide novel evidence for the clinical significance of Vimentin ex -pression as potential predictive biomarkers for identifying patients with lymph node metastasis or poor prognosis in CRC.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are another interest of small, non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression at post-transcriptional level in a sequence-specific manner. Recent researches demonstrate that miRNAs play important roles in innate immune response at various phases in vertebrates. In order to eliminate pathogens such as virus, miRNAs are crucial molecules in signaling of innate immune, and also in directly interfering in virus replication, therefore, miRNA may work as one important aspect of classical innate immune response against pathogenic microorganism. Meanwhile, pathogenic microorganism, especially viruses, can encode miRNA or regulate the miRNAs expression in host cells to disturb the expression of many immune associated genes directly and/or indirectly, so that they can escape from immune attacking. So, pathogenic microorganism and their hosts might fight with each other at miRNA level immediately after infection in the earliest phase.

Objective To investigate the effect of cisplatin ototoxicity on apoptosis of spiral ganglion cells(SGC), and relation between signal transportation of Caspase-3 and apoptosis of SGC.Methods Forty guinea pigs were randomly divided into 4 groups, and injected cisplatin (1, 2, 4 day group and control group). ABR and AERP (40 Hz Auditory Event Related Potentials) were tested every day after the injection, to find out the threshold changes of guinea pigs. Apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT)-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate(d-UTP) nick end labeling method (TUNEL), and immunohistochemistry method was used to detect Caspase-3 p20 segment of SCGs.Results It was observed that the more cisplatin injected, the worse hearing guinea pigs got, and the damnification of threshold on 8KHz was significantly higher than that on 1 kHz. At the same time, TUNEL staining and the expression of Caspase-3p20 segment rose up gradually, and significant difference was observed compared with control group ( P

Objective To discuss the clinical value of simultaneous morcellation in situ in laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). Methods One hundred and eighty-nine women who underwent LM for symptomatic myomas were randomly divided into in situ group(94 cases) and standard group(95 cases). The operation time, hemorrhage perioperative,exhaust time postoperative, length of hospital stay were compared.Results The operation was successful in two groups. The operation time and hemorrhage perioperative in situ group were significantly less than those in standard group [ (98.20 ± 40.70) min vs. ( 129.20 ± 68.50)min (P＜0.05) and (113.40± 38.30) ml vs. (168.90±61.70) ml (P＜0.01)]. There was no statistical difference in exhaust time postoperative, length of hospital stay between two groups (P ＞0.05). One case occurred eechymoma in two groups respectively. Conclusion The application of simultaneous morcellation in situ in LM is safe and feasible.

Objective To investigate the effects of bevacizunab on the antioxidative function of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE),in order to explore the possible mechanism of macular atrophy induced by the application of anti-vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF) agents in age-related macular degeneration.Methods Human RPE cells were incubated in DMEM/F12 medium containing 0.25 g · L-1 bevacizumab and divided into 5 groups according to incubation period:0 hour(control),12 hours,24 hours,48 hours and 72 hours,and then the oxidative stress was induced by adding H2O2.Cell viability was measured by the CCK8 assay.MitoSox Red was used to determine mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production.Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using the JC-1 assay.The expression levels of NOX4 and HO-1 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results CCK8 assay determination showed that the above treatment had no significant effect on cell viability,the cell viability of 0 hours,12 hours,24 hours,48 hours and 72 hours were (100.2 ±3.3)％,(99.2 ±2.7)％,(102.5 ±6.4)％,(103.9 ±3.7)％,(103.6 ±3.3)％,the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the control group,the levels of mtROS increased at 12 hours,24 hours,48 hours and 72 hours,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Mitochondrial membrane potential at 12 hours,24 hours,48 hours,72 hours were lower than the control group,the difference was significant,48 hours reached the lowest,72 hours significantly increased,but still lower than the control group.RT-PCR and western blot results demonstrated that the expression of NOX4 mRNA and protein increased at 12 hours,24 hours,48 hours and 72 hours,and reached the highest at 24 hours,then decreased significantly,but still higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.01).Compared with the control group,the expression of HO-1 mRNA decreased at 24 hours,48 hours and 72 hours,while the expression of HO-1 protein decreased at 48 hours and 72 hours,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The clinical concentration of bevacizumab can reduce the anti-oxidative function of RPE cells,which may be one of the causes of progressive macular atrophy after long-term anti-VEGF therapy.

Objective To explore the morbidity,the diagnosis and the method of therapy of accidental prostatic carcinoma. Methods From Jan of 1984 to May of 2004, 19 cases of prostatic accidental carcinoma were confirmed on pathological examination after prostatectomy for BPH. Bilateral orchiectomy and Estrogen treatment were performed in 6 cases and Bilateral orchiectomy in 7 cases alone but no treatment in 6 cases. Results 5 of the patients wereA1 stage and 14 A2 stage. 12 of them were followed up for 3 to 120 months. 14 of them survived and one untreated died of metastasis to pubis and vertebra after one year. Conclusions Most patients of prostatic accidental carcinoma are A1 and have a better prognosis. Bilateral orchiectomy and Estrogen treatment might improve the patients’s survival rate.
