BACKGROUND: Cell cycle has proved that about 90% stem cells were in resting state in the G0 phase; therefore, serum deprivation method which did not contain any growth factors and related nutrition additive was beneficial for separating glioma stem cells.OBJECTIVE: To explore the method of serum deprivation to culture glioma cell lines U87, and to isolate and identify the cancer stem cells which are in the U87 cell lines. METHODS: U87 cells were cultured in the medium containing both DMEM and L-glutamine for six days; cancer stem cells would be screened out; then the medium was changed for the neural stem cell culturing medium. The formation of tumor spheres and their differentiation characteristics were observed when they were inoculated onto serum-containing medium. The immunofluorescence staining of cells was employed to identify the surviving cells cultured in serum deprivation medium, tumor spheres and differentiated cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The serum deprivation method was used to select tumor stem cells successfully which expressed CD133 and could form tumor spheres. The tumor spheres had an ability of multi-differentiations, and the daughter cells expressed glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron specific enolase. The U87 cell lines exist glioma stem cells which have the capacities of self-renewal and multi-differentiation.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of OUR Rotating Gamma System in neurosurgical clinical application. Methods Based on the results of animal experiments, 2381 patients with intracranial disease were treated using OUR Rotating Gamma System in Aohai Gamma Knife Center of Navy General Hospital of PLA betwean December 1996 and November 2002. There were 1288 males and 1093 females and their age ranged from 3 to 84 years (mean 45.8 years). 1020 patients had benign intracranial tumors, and of them 446 suffered from pituitary tumors, 254 meningioma, 148 craniopharyngioma and 103 vestibular schwannomas. Malignant tumors were diagnosed in 796 patients, among them glioma was found in 360 and metastasis in 360. 374 patients had cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and 191 functional neurological disorders. Treatment technique of Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery, dose prescription and precise orientation performed in intracranial tumor or foci were analyzed, and the preliminary outcome of treatment was evaluated in this study. In addition, the management of the possible complication and adverse reaction was studied. Results Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery alone, or combined with other treatment procedures, could cure some of selected patients with benign brain lesions including pituitary neoplasms, meningioma, vestibular schwannomas, AVMs, and craniopharyngioma etc. And this treatment was also beneficial to some patients with malignant tumors. The incidence of radiation edema was 0.75%. Conclusions The clinical results suggest that Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery is a very effective, accurate and relatively safe neurosurgical tool used either as a primary or adjuvant procedure for treatment of intracranical pathologic processes. However, it might lead to some severe or fatal complications if used inappropriately. Thus, optimal result would not be obtained unless a careful and precise Gamma treatment based on the operative rules and the effective management for postoperative complications are well planned.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol postconditioning on the activities of proapoptotic proteins Bid,Bim and Puma in rat cortical neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/restoration (OGD/R) and the relationship with p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signaling pathway.Methods The cortical neurons obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats (＜24 h after birth) were cultured in vitro and seeded in 6-well culture palate (2 ml/well).The cortical neurons were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =42 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),OGD/R group,propofol postconditioning group (group P),and propofol postconditioning + p38MAPK inhibitor SB202190 group (group PS).The neurons were subjected to O2-glucose deprivation for 90 min followed by restoration of O2-glucose supply for 24 h.In P and PS groups,propofol with the final concentration of 50 μmol/L was added to the culture medium immediately after restoration of O2-glucose supply,and the neurons were cultured for 2 h.SB202190 with the final concentration of 50 μmol/L was added to the culture medium at 1 h before O2-glucose deprivation,and the neurons were cultured for 2 h.The neuronal apoptosis was detected using Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining combined with flow cytometry,the number of viable neurons was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay,and the amount of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) released was measured using colorimetric method.Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was assessed by JC-1 fluorescence assay.The expression of Bid,Bim and Puma proteins was determined by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the apoptosis rate and amount of LDH released were significantly increased,the neuronal survival rate and MMP were significantly decreased,and the expression of Bid,Bim and Puma was significantly up-regulated in group OGD/R (P＜0.05).Compared with group OGD/R,the apoptosis rate and amount of LDH released were significantly decreased,the neuronal survival rate and MMP were significantly increased,and the expression of Bid,Bim and Puma was significantly down-regulated in P and PS groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group P,the apoptosis rate and amount of LDH released were significantly increased,the neuronal survival rate and MMP were significantly decreased,and the expression of Bid,Bim and Puma was significantly up-regulated in group PS (P＜0.05).Conclusion Propofol postconditioning reduces OGD/R-induced injury to rat cortical neurons through activating p38MAPK signaling pathway and inhibiting activities of pro-apoptotic proteins Bid,Bim and Puma.

BACKGROUND:At present, it remains unclear whether delayed functional exercises after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs could elevate the healing rate of tendon. The opportunity of functional exercises after rotator cuff repairs is stil controversial, and there is no relevant system evaluation.
OBJECTIVE:To systematical y evaluate the differences in curative effects of early and delayed functional exercises after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs.
METHODS:We searched the Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Control ed Clinical Trials, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chongqing VIP Database. The key words were“arthroscopy, rotator cuff, rehabilitation”. The references of the included literatures were re-retrieved. The deadline of retrieval was August 15, 2012. The included literatures were randomized control ed trials on early and delayed functional exercises after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs. Methodological quality evaluation, screening and heterogeneous test were conducted. REVMAN5.1 software was utilized to analyze the extracted data.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We included three randomized control ed trials, including 237 patients:119 in the early movement group and 118 in the delayed movement group. During fol ow-up at 1 year after operation, no significant differences in range of motion, pain degree, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Scale, Simple Should Test scores and re-tear rate of rotator cuff were detected between the two groups. Results confirmed that compared with delayed functional exercises, early functional exercises after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair did not have advantages on the improvement of joint function and range of motion, but also did not negatively affect cuff healing. Postoperative rehabilitation can be modified to ensure patient’s compliance.

Objective:To evaluate the value of synthetic MRI combined with DWI in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods:The data of 184 consecutive patients with suspected breast lesions in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from July to September 2019 were prospectively analyzed. All patients were randomly assigned to training group ( n=110) and validation group ( n=74), and underwent conventional MRI and synthetic MRI respectively before and after contrast injection. At the maximum slice of the lesion, the ROI was drawn along the edge and recorded as "tumor". In the solid area with the most obvious tumor enhancement, the second ROI was drawn and recorded as "local". At the same time, ADC values (ADC local and ADC tumor) and relaxation time values (T local and T tumor) were measured. T and T + represented the relaxation time value of the ROI pre-and post-contrast scanning. ΔT% represented the relative change rate in T value between pre-and post-contrast scanning.The rank sum test was used to test the quantitative parameters of benign and malignant breast lesions in the training group and the validation group, and the variables with P<0.05 were included in the binary logistic regression analysis to screen the independent variables and establish the prediction model. The area under ROC curve was used to evaluate the discrimination of parameters and models. The clinical applicability of model was analyzed by decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:In the training group, univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in T 1tumor, T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2local, T 2+local, T 2tumor and T 2+tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor between benign and malignant breast lesions ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor were independent variables in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The relaxation time model (model A: T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor) and ADC model (model B: ADC local, ADC tumor) established by combining the above variables had the same diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.905, 0.914, Z=-1.874, P=0.062), and the multi-parameter combination model (model C: T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor) had the highest diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.965). DCA analysis showed that when the threshold probability ranges between 21%-99% (training cohort) and 15%-99% (validation cohort), the net benefit of model C was better than model A and B. Conclusion:The multi-parameter combined prediction model established based on the relaxation time value and ADC can identify breast cancer efficiently and can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool.

A new type of piezoelectric oscillation-based non-contact spotting mode has been developed to overcome the disadvantages of traditional non-contact spotting modes including complicated operation procedure, cleaning difficulty of spotting needle, large sample consumption of electromagnetic microvalve and high spotting cost of piezoelectric inkjet based non-contact spotting mode. In the device, the capillary spotting needle and the piezoelectric driving device are two independent units used for replacing and cleaning capillary spotting needle. The glass capillary spotting needle is prepared by the laser melting method with adjustable diameter and low cost. The sample spotting volume of the device can be easily adjusted in the range of 10Symbolm_10-10Symbolm_9 by changing the amplitude and frequency of piezoelectric ceramic. A microarray spotting system is developed by the combination of the piezoelectric oscillation-based non-contact spotting mode and three dimensional precision displacement control technology. The multiple parameters of as-prepared microarray spotting system have been tested including spotting volume, density of spot and spotting precision. The experimental results indicate that the minimum volume of single spot with 320 pL and the highest density of spot with 4000 spots/cm2 can be achieved by the as-prepared microarray spotting system. Furthermore, the as-prepared microarray spotting system can also be employed to fabricate patterned interface.
