The distribution and morphology of supraependymal cells residing within thethird ventricle of the adult rabbit and adult rat have been investigated by means ofscanning electron microscopy.Supraependymal cells can be classified into twofundamental types,those with neuronal characteristics were designated Type Ⅰ incontrast to those that appear to be macrophagic in character,which were termedType Ⅱ.The neuron-like supraependymal cells have oval cell bodies and long slen-der processes.They occurred not only singly along the ventricular surface,but alsotended to occur in clusters which may be named as neuronal complex.Usually theneuronlike structures possessed varicose fibers of various calibers,runing among thecilia,microvilli,and bulbous protrusions of the ependymal surface.The morphologyof macrophage-like ependymal cells are variable.In general,they had one or severalbroad pseudopodia.According to the number of processes,the macrophage-likesupraependymal cells may be divided into three main types.The morphology of supraependymal cells within the third ventricle of the rabbitand rat is quite similar.The role of supraependymal cells were discussed.

Objective To investigate the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone recptor (PR) and c-erbB-2 in breast cancer tissues and its relationship with prognostic factors. Methods The clinical data of 1 008 cases with breast cancer were retrospectively analysed. The relationship between the expression of ER, PR and c-erbB-2 in breast cancer tissues and the prognostic factors such as menopausal status, axillary lymph nodes metastasis and TNM stage was investigated. Results The mean presentation age of the 1 008 cases was (53.53?12.60) years. Invasive ductal cancer was the most common pathological type (80.5%). Postmenopausal ER-positive cases were significantly more than premenopausal ER-positive ones, and the clinical stage was lower (P

Objective To evaluate the results of Four-Step methods in traditional Chinese medicine Course.Methods 40 five-academic-year clinical medical students and 40 seven-academicyear undergraduate students were randomized assigned into experimental group (n=40, 20 five-academicyear clinical medical students and 20 seven-academic-year students) and control group (n=40, 20 five-academic-year students and 20 seven-academic-year students).The control group received conventional teaching, while four-step teaching break the gap between Chinese medicine and western medicine, build the base, form the framework of Chinese medicine and extend knowledge was implemented in the experimental group.Through questionnaire score, group discussion, the final evaluation of the theory and clinical training evaluation, the learning of the experimental group students and the control group students was compared.SPSS 18.0 statistical software was used and t test was employed to make analysis of the relevant data.Results The questionnaire at the end of the semester showed that the average score of students in the experimental group (36.18 ± 0.96) was higher than that in the control group (26.62 ± 1.00), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.017).In the discussion at the end of the semester, the experimental group paid more attention to the theory and technology of traditional Chinese medicine's learning persistence in future and its application in their professional practice.Scores in theory test were higher in seven-academic-year students in experimental group (88.40 ± 8.79) than in control group (82.15 ± 6.83) and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.017), but there was no difference in five-academic-year students between experimental group (75A0 ± 12.09) and control group (77.85 ± 11.99), which was not considered statistically significant different (P=0.524).In clinical practice, the rate of outstanding students in the experimental group of seven-academic-year was five percentage points higher than the control group, while the rate of outstanding students in the experimental group of five-academic-year was 10 percentage points higher than the control group.Conclusions Four step teaching is helpful to stimulating the learning enthusiasm of the students of traditional Chinese medicine, expanding students' vision of medical field, and promoting their construction of a more comprehensive medical knowledge framework.

As a member of tyrosine kinases(TK) family,Epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) has an activity of intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase,which plays an essential role in the regulation of signal transduction in the cells.Due to the abnormal expression of EGFR-TK,the certain type cancers may developed and progressed.Based on that,the inhibitors of EGFR-TK could be effective medicines for the treatment of cancer.The EGFR-TK domain was amplified by RT-PCR with RNA of HUVCEs cells as the template and expressed in E.coliBL21(DE3) using plasmid pET30a as vector.The recombinant protein was purified with the affinity chromatography(Ni-NTA),which was identified to have kinase activity catalyzing the substrate phosphorylated with ATP in the enzymatic reaction.Using the recombinant EGFR-TK as target,the screening model for enzymatic inhibitors was constructed.

Objective To explore the feasibility and to improve the efficiency of testing circulating tumor cells(CTC)in patients with renal cell carcinoma by Cell-search System(CSS).Methods Eight patients with renal cell carcinoma hospitalized in the PUMC urology department for further clinical evaluation in Jan.to Jun.2012 were enrolled in this study.There were 5 males and 3 females with mean age of 64 (57-70)years.There were 2 cases in clinical stage T3N0M0 and 6 cases in T4N0M1;3 cases were treated with radical nephrectomy,5 cases were treated with targeted therapy drugs.7.5 ml peripheral blood samples from these patients were collected and saved in test tube at the temperature of 15 ℃-30 ℃.The tests had to be done within 96 hrs after the blood sample drawn.We selected fluorescent anti-CKS/18/19 antibodies as CTC makers for renal cell carcinoma.Then the number of CTC was quantitative detected by CSS.The feasibility and detection rate of testing CTC in patients with RCC by CSS was evaluated,and the improvement of method was discussed.Results Quantitative test results of CTC in 8 patients with renal cell carcinoma were negative.25 CK+CD45 + double positive cells were found in one T4N0M1 patient's peripheral blood.The detection rate of the CTC in TNM stage T3N0M0 and T4N0M1 renal cell carcinoma patients using CSS with epithelial tumor cell maker anti-CK8/18/19 was zero.Conclusions Anti-CK8/18/19 antibodies can not be used in testing circulating tumor cells in patients with renal cell carcinoma by Cell-search System.

Objective To screen differential Mycobacterium tuberculosis genes between Xinjiang clinical strains and H37Rv by suppression subtractive hybridization( SSH), and to analyze the function of these specifically pathopoiesis genes. Methods Both M. tuberculosis Xinjiang clinical strains and H37Rv as tester and driver each other, most identical genome was drived whereas some distinctive genes was re-mained and enriched by utilization SSH technique. Meanwhile through inserting differential genes to E. coli all of sequences that we have cloned were determined by BLAST in GenBank. The function of differential genes between M. tuberculosis H37Rv and Xinjiang clinical strains were analyzed. Results We cloned and analyzed six different DNA fragments that only existed in Xinjiang clinical strains. One is the fragment of a gene ceding monooxygenase, flavin-binding family identified by Glimmer2. One fragment belongs to acyl-transferase family protein. One for aminotransferase, class Ⅱ, acyl carrier protein. One fragment belongs to chromosomal replication initiator protein DNA and one for M. tuberculosis paralogous family 11-pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase-related. Meanwhile, we cloned ten DNA fragments only in H37Rv. Conclusion SSH technique can efficiently screen differential genes in M. tuberculosis in Xinjiang clinical strains. They are possible key genes that M. tuberculosis survive and fortify virulence in mal-environment as same as their ho-mogenic genes, such as enhanced adsorbability in wall-held protein, counteracted digestion by nitro-oxygen-ase, elevated composition capability in the acyhransferase, control chromosomal replication initiator protein, synthesized aminotransferase acyl cartier protein and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase.

Objective To study the effect of quercetin on proliferation and expression of P38MAPK and HMGB1 protein in neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts induced by TNF-α.Methods Purified cardiac fibroblasts were obtained by trypsin digestion and differential adherence method.The proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts was detected by MTT assay.The expression of P38MAPK and HMGB1 protein was detected by Western blot.Results Quercetin had no effect on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts in the basal state but inhibited the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by TNF-α,and the A value of each group was increased with the increase of quereetin concentration(P＜0.05).The exspression of P38MAPK、HMGB1 were decresed with the icrease of quercetin.Conclusion Quercetin may inhibit the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by TNF-α.The mechanism may be inhibit the expression of HMGB1 through P38MAPK signaling pathway.
