Purpose: Repopulation is among those which causes treatment failure in cancer radiotherapy. The study focuses on a better understanding of radiation-induced repopulation for cancer cells.Materials and Methods: It was measured by BrdUrd/DNA flow cytometric analysis that the kinetic changes after various radiation dose-time effects on human nasophayngeal carcinoma cells. The surviving fraction of the clonogenic cells was also measured by limiting dilution method.Results: (1) the shortening of Tpot of overall cell population after 0～8 Gy of irradiation was closely related to the decrease of the clonogenic cells;(2) an increased DNA synthesis was suggested as a result of the increase of radiation dose and (3) in vitro ,the proliferative status of the clonogenic cells was as same as that of overall cell population 48 hours after irradiation.Conclusion: (1) the accelerated repopulation of CNE cells after irradiation is related to their self-regulation;and (2) Tpot may be used as a predictive value in clinical radiotherapy.

Objective:To introduce an economical and pragmatic method of establishing oxygen-glucose deprivation model for hippocampal slice of neonatal rats in vitro. Methods: Hippocampal slices(400?m) from 8~10-day-old rats were transferred into an incubator with insert of Millicell membrance and incubated for 7d,14d,20d and 30d respectively.Then they were observed under convened microscope to evaluate their growing state,and detected their ability to absorb propidiumiodide(PI) under fluorescent microscope after they had been stained by PI , The state of the hippocampal slices was observed at different time after aerating Nitrogen gas. Results:(1)No PI labelled cells were found after 7d and 14d.However,15% PI positive cells were found after 30d.(2)The longer in Nitrogen gas ,the more apoptosis cells.(3)Intensive fluorescence was observed in the CA1, CA3 and DG areas of the hippocampal slice after aerating Nitrogen gas for 1.5h.Conclusion:The hippocampal slice can be alive for about 30 days.Stable oxygen-glucose deprivation model of the hippocampal slice in vitro was successfully established after aerating Nitrogen gas for 1.5h.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the evaluation index system that is suitable for biological pharmaceutical industry cluster competitiveness,and provide reference for the evaluation of biological pharmaceutical industry cluster competitiveness in Jiangsu province. METHODS:Biological pharmaceutical industry cluster enterprises in Jiangsu province were selected as research samples. Through the questionnaires,the grey multi-index evaluation method was used to determine weight set,establish evaluation sample matrix,and evaluate and analyze 3 first-level indexes(8 second-level indexes,and 23 tertiary-level indexes),such as the innova-tion knowledge spillover,innovation network and social capital,etc. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The financial indicators such as investment intensity of biological pharmaceutical industry cluster in Jiangsu province were low,and there was a shortage of funds problem;new drug patents of independent intellectual property rights were insufficient,and lacked of protection of intellectu-al property rights,there was an independent innovation motivation problem;profitability indexes such as the rate of product sales were low,there was a problem of low industrialization of scientific research;social culture score in social capital level was not high,there was a problem of strengthening soft environment such as the binding biological innovation public service platform. It is suggested to strengthen the cooperation among cluster enterprises and scientific research institutions,and improve enterprise innova-tion power;improve the mechanism of biological innovation and the level of industrialization of scientific research achievements;and actively guide the various types of biological innovation public service platform to participate in the construction of the soft en-vironment of the cluster.

This study aimed to explore clinical features of multiple myeloma in patients over 80 years old. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 11 cases of multiple myeloma over 80 years old, which were diagnosed from 2000 to 2013 in our hospital. Results:The mean age was 83.5 years. All patients had more than two complicated diseases, and the performance status was poor in the majority of the patients. Ten cases received individualized treatments. The results showed that three patients had progressed, one patient achieved complete remission, three patients achieved partial remission, and four patients achieved minor remission. Median survival time was 28 months. The causes of death included six progressed myelomas, three pneumonias, and two acute myocardial infarctions. Conclusion: Patients aged 80 years old with myeloma are often at a late stage. Treatment should be individualized based on patient status. Survival time was evidently prolonged in very elderly patients with MM after individualized treatments, particularly in patients in stagesⅠandⅡ.

Lysyal oxidase (LOX),a cooper dependent monoamine oxidase,can stabilize the extracellular matrix and is closely related to the tumor cell differentiation,vicious transformation and invasiveness.LOX is secreted into extracellular,and it is resolved into a small fragment by sol protease,which is lysyal oxidase propeptide (LOX-PP).According to research,LOX-PP has its own structure and physiological functions,which can inhibit the growth of tumor cells.LOX-PP also plays a significant role in the generation and progression of tumor,which is likely to be a new therapeutic target.
