Objective To study the expression of high molecular weight cytokeratin (CK34βE12) in breast carcinoma and the relationship between the high molecular weight cytokeratin expression and patient's prognosis. Methods We detected the high molecular weight cytokeratin expression in 100 patient's of breast cancer tissues and paracancerous breast tissue in 30 cases immunohistochemically. The relationship between the expression of high molecular weight cytokeratin in breast cancer tissues and age, menstrual status, estrogen receptor expression, progesterone receptor expression, histology grading, TNM staging, pathology type, and patient survival was analyzed. Results (1) There was no significant correlation between high molecular weight cytokeratin expression of breast -cancer tissues and age, menstrual status, estrogen receptor expression, progesterone receptor expression (all P>0.05). But the correlation was statistically significant between that expression and histology grading, TNM staging, pathology category (all P<0.05). (2) By univariate analysis, the 5-year disease-free survival rate in patients with negative expression was lower than those with positive expression(P<0.05). By multivariate analysis, the expression of high molecular weight cytokeratin was unfavorably related with tumor free survival. Conclusion The expression of high molecular weight cytokeratin in breast carcinoma tissues was correlated with biologic malignancies of breast cancer, the negative high molecular weight cytokeratin expression of breast cancer tissues predicts poor prognosis.

Objective To summarize the treatment of 7 cases of severe coronary artery disease with CO2 laser transmyocardial revascularization(TMLR). Methods The mean preoperative angina class (Canadian Cardiovascular Society, CCS), number of diseased coronary arteries were 3.6±0.7 and 2.8±0.6 respectively. All the patients underwent left anterolateral thoracotomy through the fifth intercostal space under general anesthesia, the left ventricule was exposed and then TMLR was performed. The mean channels in TMLR was 32.5. Results The symptoms of angina disappeared during the first postoperative month, with no relapse reported in the first follow-up year. There was significant difference in the angina class (P<0.05), ejection fraction also increased. The ischemia region of the heart decreased through the single photon emission computed tomographic(SPECT) test. Conclusion TMLR can relieve angina and improve life quality of patients with severe coronary artery disease. It can accelerate the recovery of dormant myocardium and enhance the contractility.

BACKGROUND: Jaw defects are common clinically. It is desirable to find ideal seed cells combined with scaffolds to construct tissue engineered jaws for curing these diseases. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the growth characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transfected with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene after seeded on coral scaffold in vitro. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An experimental study of bone tissue engineering was performed in the Research Institute of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University between March 2006 and June 2008. MATERIALS: Natural coral from China Hainan bench was made into pieces of 8 mm×8 mm×2 mm. METHODS: BMSCs were isolated from New England rabbits by density gradient centrifugation and then purified by adherent separation. bFGF-pcDNA3 gene was transfected into BMSCs using Lipofectamine TM 2000. bFGF gene-transfected (transfected group) or untransfected (untransfected group)BMSCs were seeded on different coral scaffolds. In addition, bFGF gene-transfected BMSCs were simply cultured but not on the coral scaffold for control (simple culture group). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BMSC proliferation was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and BMSC growth on coral scaffold was observed under the scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: MTT assay showed that the BMSC proliferation rate was significantly higher in the transfected group than in the untransfected group (P < 0.05) and that there was no significant difference in BMSC proliferation between the transfected and simple culture groups (P > 0.05). Scanning electron microscope results displayed that BMSCs adhered to and spread over the coral scaffold, exhibiting various appearances, with some cells had grown into scaffold micropores or spanned micropore surface, and some extracellular matrix secreted by BMSCs were found. CONCLUSION: The transfected group exhibited better growth of BMSCs transfected by bFGF gene than the untransfected group. These findings indicate that coral skeleton does not influence BMSC proliferation and can be used as a scaffold of BMSCs to construct tissue-engineered bone.

Objective To explore the expression of COX-2,PD-ECGF and VEGF in gastric carcinoma tissue,and analyze and identify the relationship between the expression and tumor angiogenesis together with biological behaviour in gastric carcinoma.Methods ElivisionTM immunohistochemical method was performed to detect the expression of COX-2,PD-ECGF,VEGF and CD34,and evaluate the value of MVD in surgically resected gastric carcinoma specimens and biopsy tissues under gastroscope,including normal gastric mucosa tissues, metaplasia tissues and gastric mucosal atypical hyperplasia tissues. Clinicopathologic data of patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results The positive expression of COX-2, PD-ECGF,VEGF and MVD in gastric carcinoma were significantly higher than those in normal gastric mucosa, metaplasia or gastric mucosal atypical hyperplasia,and also their expression and MVD were closely related to lymph node metastasis and depth of invasion. The MVD in the groups of COX-2,PD-ECGF,VEGF positive-expression were significantly higher than those in negative-expression groups respectively. There were positive correlations among the expression of COX-2,PD-ECGF and VEGF in gastric carcinoma. MVD increased significantly when COX-2, PD-ECGF and VEGF coexpressed. Conclusion The expression of COX-2,PD-ECGF,VEGF and tumor angiogenesis participated in the genesis,invasion and metastasis of human gastric carcinoma.COX-2,PD-ECGF and VEGF participated in the tumor angiogenesis of gastric carcinoma. In the process of tumor angiogenesis and expression in gastric carcinoma, COX-2, PD-ECGF and VEGF could strengthen the effectiveness each other.They could strengthen the effective ness of tumor angiogenesis when they coexpressed. They could be selected as targets for tumor anti-angiogenesis treatment.

A method for simultaneous determination of PCDDs, dl-PCBs, BFRs and PBDD/Fs in flue gas from stationary source was developed. The sample was extracted by Soxhlet apparatus with toluene, and followed by purification through sulfuric acid partition and multi-layer silica gel column separation. The target compounds were then all separated by passing through the active carbon-dispersed silica gel column and reversal eluting. Gas chromatography coupled with a thermostable capillary column ( short length, thin stationary phase film) was operated at pulse injection mode. High resolution mass spectrometry set at low-electron-energy ionization was used for quantification. The high- and low-brominated compounds were determined simultaneously. The detection limits of this method were 0. 081-1. 2 pg for PCDD/Fs, 0. 10-0. 32 pg for dl-PCBs, 0. 14-12 pg for PBDEs, 0. 26-16 pg for new BFRs, 0. 44-3. 6 pg for tetra- to hepta-BDD/Fs and 8. 2-12 pg for OBDD/F. Recoveries ( RSDs) in spiked flue gas samples were 88%-115%(2. 9%-6. 1%) for PCDD/Fs, 84%-118% (3. 2%-10%) for dl-PCBs, 71%-135% (2. 1%-18%) for PBDEs, 71%-114% (2. 9%-7. 4%) for new BFRs, 83%-127% (5. 2%-10%) for tetra-to hepta-BDD/Fs and 52%-149% ( 23%-24%) for OBDD/F. All quality control data fell within the acceptable range specified in analysis standards for flue gas.
