Background and purpose:Studies have shown that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is closely associated with tumor progress. angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ) is the most important component of RAS. This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism by which AngⅡ affected the cell proliferation in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods:CCK-8 was used to investigate the cell proliferation alteration of MCF-7 cells after treatment of AngⅡ at different dose and time. The inlfuence of losartan (an AT1R inhibitor) and PD98059 (a MAPK inhibitor) in AngⅡ-enhanced cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blot.Results:AngⅡ stimulated the growth of breast cancer cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The maximal proliferation effect on MCF-7 cells was obtained with 10-7 mol/L AngⅡ and 24 h, respectively (P<0.000 1). Losartan signiifcantly decreased the level of AngⅡ-induced proliferative effects (P<0.05). Western blot showed that AngⅡ caused rapid activation of p-ERK. In addition, PD98059 could signiifcantly suppress AngⅡ-promoted cell proliferation.Conclusion:AngⅡ can promote MCF-7 cell proliferation through AT1R/ERK/MAPK pathway activation, which could be reversed by losartan or PD98059. Therefore, targeting AngⅡ/AT1R/MAPK signaling could be a novel therapeutic for breast cancer.

BACKGROUND:Canada Montreal Scholar Mutch et al have recently proposed a new morphologic classification of fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus. They divided these fractures into three typeavulsion, split and depression.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the recovery of shoulder function after conventional plate-screw and hol ow-screw fixation for the repair of the split fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus.
METHODPatients with greater tuberosity of humerus, who were treated in the Department of Orthopedics of Yichang Yiling Hospital, China from January 2010 to January 2014, were classified according to Mutch’s classification. A total of 83 patients with split greater tuberosity of humerus after complete fol ow-up were retrospectively analyzed. Of them, 23 cases received plate-screw fixation as plate-screw group, and 60 cases received hol ow-screw fixation as hol ow-screw group. Visual Analog Scale, the United States Scores of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and Constant and Murley Scoring Systems were utilized to assess the therapeutic outcomes. Patient’s pain and changes in shoulder function were analyzed before and after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 83 patients were fol owed up. Fixator was obtained at 1 year after surgery in al patients. No significant difference in Visual Analog Scale, the United States Scores of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and Constant and Murley Scoring Systems was detected in both groups before treatment (P>0.05). Significant differences in Visual Analog Scale, the United States Scores of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and Constant and Murley Scoring Systems were detectable in both groups at 16 months after removal of the fixator (P<0.05). Data were better in the hol ow-screw group than in the plate-screw group. Above results suggested that hol ow-screw fixation in the repair of split fracture of greater tuberosite of humerus is simple to be operated, with smal trauma, and is an ideal fixation method. Clinical repair effect is better than plate-screw fixation.

BACKGROUND:A single hemostatic material has been proved not to facilitate wound healing or to produce certain adverse reactions; while composites composed of two or three different materials can improve the
advantage and histocompatibility of hemostatic materials.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of gelatin sponge impregnated with hemocoagulase solution on amount of bleeding in patients with lumbar fractures undergoing posterior spinal decompression.
METHODS: Fifty patients with lumbar fractures who were scheduled for open reduction, pedicle screw fixation
and laminectomy were enroled, including 25 cases treated with gelatin sponge impregnated with hemocoagulase before surgical incision closure as test group and 25 cases treated with single gelatin sponge before surgical
incision closure as control group. Postoperative drainage volume, drainage time, length of stay, number of re-admissions and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The postoperative drainage volume, drainage time and length of stay in the test group were significantly less than those in the control group (P < 0.000 1). No infection, epidural hematoma, or
re-admission of patients was found, and there was no hemocoagulase-impregnated absorbable gelatin sponge- related adverse reaction. These findings indicate that posterior laminectomy with hemocoagulase-impregnated gelatin sponge can significantly reduce patients’ postoperative wound drainage and shorten the length of stay.

[Objective]To explore the surgical management and its results of intercondylar fracture of humerus through approach of osteotomy of olecranon(AOO) with dual anatomical steel plate DASP.[Method]From July 2002 to March 2006,26 patients of intercondylar fracture of humerus were treated surgically through AOO,and the fracture was reduced and fixed with DASP.The patients were 19 males and 7 females with a mean age of 35 years (range 15～46 years),According to Riseborough and Radin classification,type Ⅱ fracture was found in 6 cases,type Ⅲ in 18,type Ⅳ in 2.Early rehabilitation exercises was taken.[Result]Twenty-five fractures were satisfactory reduced but one not too good,none had incision infection,injuries of the ulnar nerve.Twenty-two patients were followed up from 6 months to 19 months(average 13.5 months),of these 22 patients,all the osteotomies healed in 17 weeks averagely(range 14～24 weeks) and the injuried ulnar nerve recovered completely.The function of the elbow(according to Cassbaum scale) showed excellent in 5 cases,good in 13,fair in 3 and poor in 1.the good-excellent rate was 81.8%.[Conclusion]The technique of DASP for the treatment intercondylar fracture of humerus through transolecranon approach offers many advantages,such as sufficient exposure easy to get anatomical reduction,stable fixation and earlier exercise.

AIM: To isolate peptides targeted binding and internalizing into glioblastoma cell line SWO-38. METHODS: Tumor cells were screened five rounds of whole cell screen through the Ph.D.-12 phage display library. The monoclone specific binding efficiency to the tumor cell was analyzed, and the DNA of phages were extracted, sequenced and translated to the sequences of amino acid. RESULTS: In the phage library after five rounds of screen , 10 of 13 monoclones had highly selective binding to SWO-38 cells. We found two repeated peptide sequences. CONCLUSION: Whole cell screening against tumor cells through random phage peptide library can obtain phage peptides with highly specific binding and internalizing ability. The peptides could be used as a therapy vector for tumor targeted delivery.

Objective To investigate the effect of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) on rat retinal Müller cells under high glucose conditions. Methods Müller cells cultured in 25 mmoL/L glncose were incubated with 100 ng/ml PEDF or 10 ng/ml interleukin-1β(IL-1β) for 24 h. The expression of IL-1β or PEDF in Müller cells was measured by indirect immunofluorescence, Western blot or realtime RT-PCR. The survival of Müller cells was detected by MTT assay. Results Under high glucose conditions, expression of IL-1β or PEDF was decreased after treated with 100 ng/ml PEDF or 10 ng/ml IL-1β for 24 hours by the methods of immunocytochemistry, Western blot or realtime PCR (P ＜ 0.05). Activity of Müller cells was increased significantly by PEDF (0.48±0.09 vs 0.64±0.17, P＜0.05). Conclusion In mimic diabetic conditions, PEDF decreases expression of IL-1β in rat retinal Müller cells and enhances the cell activity. To some degree, PEDF may block the process of inflammation in diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of nitrous oxide-inhale combined with lidocaine-injection by Ciliao and Uterine points and single therapy in labor analgesia,and the impact on maternal and child.Methods 400 cases were randomly divided into four groups.Observation group:100 cases take the therapy of Nitrous oxide-inhale combined with lidocaine-injection in Ciliao and Uterine points in the time of active period.Control group 1:100 cases take the therapy of gas mixture-inhale( 50％ Nitrous oxide and 50％ Oxygen) in the time of active period.Control group 2:100 cases take the therapy of lidocaine-injection in Ciliao and Uterine points in the time of active period.Control group 3:100 cases do not take any analgesia.Analgesic effects,labor time,mode of delivery,neonatal conditions,the amount of bleeding in every group were observed.Results There was statistically significant differences between the observation group with the control group 1,2,3 on analgesic effects ( x2 =48.513,P ＜ 0.05 ) labor time( F =782.88,1120.81,1104.57,all P ＜ 0.05 ),mode of delivery ( x2 =85.715,P ＜ 0.05 ),neonatal conditions,the amount of bleeding( F =422.66,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Combination therapy was more effective than the single treatment.

Objective To explore the effect of interferon-?(IFN-?)on phenotypic transition of human Tenon’s conjunctival capsular fibroblast(HTCF). Methods Cultured HTCF derived from 4 operated human cataracts was induced for 48 hours in absence or presence of IFN-? and/or transforming growth factor-?1(TGF-?1). Then immunocytochemistry and Western blot technology were used to detect the ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA)expression and identificate the cell phenotype. Results In contrast to normal HTCF, IFN-?(10 ng/mL) inhibited the expression of ?-SMA(P

Objective To explore the influence and treatment methods of hysteromyoma pregnancy. Method Through case-control study on 116 cases of hysteromyoma pregnancy and the same number cases of normal pregnan-cy in the same period, in order to observe the outcome of two groups. Results There is no significant difference in the matter of amount of bleeding when hysteromyoma pregnant women give birth to their children, no matter how oper-ation group, non-surgical group and control group(P > 0.05); but there is significant difference between non-surgical group and control group(P <0.05), and in the field of asphyxia neonatorum rate, there is no significant difference in all groups(P > 0.05). Conclusions The amount of bleeding in hysteromyoma pregnant women are more than vagi-nal delivery non-hysteromyoma women. It suggests that myomectomy won' t increase the amount of bleeding when doctors give the hysteromyoma women caesarean section at the same time. And the difficulty of surgery won' t signifi-cantly increase when compared to non-pregnancy and pregnancy.
