Objective To evaluate the value of using the color Doppler ultrasound in the treatment of pseudoaneurysm with thrombin intratumoral injection.Methods Intratumoral injection of thrombin was given under the guidance of color Doppler to 7 cases of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm after cardiac catheterization,then we observed thrombus formation time and the dosage of thrombin.After the treatment of 10 minutes,1 day,5 days,15 days,we reviewed pseudoaneurysm with the color Doppler ultrasound.Results Thrombosis in the pseudoaneurysm was fast with only 2 to 4 minutes,and thrombin dosage was 200 to 500U,with an average of 280 U,and the cure rate was 100%,but one case was accompanied by acute allergic reaction and ipsilateral deep venous thrombosis.Conclusion The color Doppler ultrasound-guided thrombin intratumoral injection treatment of pseudoaneurysm is a simple,safe and effective method,with few complications,so it can be used as the first choice treatment for pseudoaneurysm.

The relation between the expression and activity of MMP-9 in C-reactive protein (CRP)-induced human THP-1 mononuclear cells and the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB) was studied to investigate the possible role of CRP in plaque destabilization. Human THP-1 cells were incubated in the presence of CRP at 0 (control group), 25, 50 and 100 mug/mL (CRP groups) for 24 h. In PDTC (a specific NF-kappaB inhibitor) group, the cells were pre-treated with PDTC at 10 mumol/L and then with 100 mug/mL CRP. The conditioned media (CM) and human THP-1 cells in different groups were harvested. MMP-9 expression in CM and human THP-1 cells was measured by ELISA and Western blotting. MMP-9 activity was assessed by fluorogenic substrates. The expression of NF-kappaB inhibitor alpha (IkappaB-alpha) and NF-kappaB P(65) was detected by Western blotting and ELISA respectively. The results showed that CRP increased the expression and activity of MMP-9 in a dose-dependent manner in the human THP-1 cells. Western blotting revealed that IkappaB-alpha expression was decreased in the cells with the concentrations of CRP and ELISA demonstrated that NF-kappaB P65 expression in the CRP-induced cells was increased. After pre-treatment of the cells with PDTC at 10 mumol/L, the decrease in IkappaB-alpha expression and the increase in NF-kappaB P(65) expression in the CRP-induced cells were inhibited, and the expression and activity of MMP-9 were lowered too. It is concluded that increased expression and activity of MMP-9 in CRP-induced human THP-1 cells may be associated with activation of NF-kappaB. Down-regulation of the expression and activity of MMP-9 may be a new treatment alternative for plaque stabilization by inhibiting the NF-kappaB activation.

Objective To study the effects of exercises training on the recovery of neurological function and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in perihematomal brain tissue after intra cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. Methods Sixty-four male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into exercises group and control group. ICH model was induced by autobiood injection. The rats in exercises group were given balance, grasping and walking exercises every day. The rats in control group exercised freely in standard cages. Neurological function in both groups was measured at the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st d. All the rats were sacrificed and the concentration of MMP-9 was measured with immunohistochemical method and in situhybridization. Results In both groups neurological function scores was lowest at the 3rd d, were highest at the 21st d. There was no significant difference between two groups at the 3rd d, but at the 7th, 14th and 21st d the differences between two groups were significant ( P < 0.05 ). In exercises group, MMP-9 expressed weakly at the 3rd d, and peaked at the 7th d, then declined gradually. In control group, MMP-9 expression peaked at the 3rd d, then decreased slowly. MMP-9 protein expression was in accord with mRNA. MMP-9 expression in exer-cises group was significantly different from control group on the 3rd and 7th d (P < 0.05 ) , but not at the 14th and 21st d ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Early exercises can inhibit the expression of MMP-9 that could play a role in protecting neurons. Daily exercises can stimulates the expression of MMP-9 so as to have a positive role in midstage of disease. MMP-9 may be involved in tissue remodelling and vascular repairing, which prompt neu-rofunction recovery.

Objective:To establish a mouse model of gastric cancer by inoculating MKN45 cells into mice with normal immune function utilizing microcarrier technology. Methods:A total of 60 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups, namely, 2D, con-trol, and 3D groups, according to the coculture system of MKN45 and microcarrier. The mouse models of gastric carcinoma were estab-lished by hypodermic injection. The time of tumorigenesis, rate of tumor formation, and pathological features were observed in each group. Results:In the 3D group, the time of tumor formation was short, whereas the rate of tumor formation was high (80%). No de-tectable tumor formations were observed in the 2D and control groups. HE and immunohistochemical staining of the transplantation tumor model showed evident characteristics of human gastric cancer. Conclusion:A human gastric cancer model in normal immune mice was successfully established. The onset and development mechanism of gastric cancer could be more effectively investigated in mice with normal immune function through this model. Moreover, a more valuable and new animal model for the research and devel-opment of anticancer drug was established.

Cancer immunotherapy can effectively inhibit cancer progression by activating the autoimmune system, with low toxicity and high effectiveness. Some of cancer immunotherapy had positive effects on clinical cancer treatment. However, cancer immunotherapy is still restricted by cancer heterogeneity, immune cell disability, tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment and systemic immune toxicity. Cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CMCNs) inherit abundant source cell-relevant functions, including "self" markers, cross-talking with the immune system, biological targeting, and homing to specific regions. These enable them to possess preferred characteristics, including better biological compatibility, weak immunogenicity, immune escaping, a prolonged circulation, and tumor targeting. Therefore, they are applied to precisely deliver drugs and promote the effect of cancer immunotherapy. In the review, we summarize the latest researches of biomimetic CMCNs for cancer immunotherapy, outline the existing specific cancer immune therapies, explore the unique functions and molecular mechanisms of various cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, and analyze the challenges which CMCNs face in clinical translation.

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is involved in diverse brain functions via its extensive projections to multiple target regions. There is a growing understanding of the overall outputs of the OFC at the population level, but reports of the projection patterns of individual OFC neurons across different cortical layers remain rare. Here, by combining neuronal sparse and bright labeling with a whole-brain florescence imaging system (fMOST), we obtained an uninterrupted three-dimensional whole-brain dataset and achieved the full morphological reconstruction of 25 OFC pyramidal neurons. We compared the whole-brain projection targets of these individual OFC neurons in different cortical layers as well as in the same cortical layer. We found cortical layer-dependent projections characterized by divergent patterns for information delivery. Our study not only provides a structural basis for understanding the principles of laminar organizations in the OFC, but also provides clues for future functional and behavioral studies on OFC pyramidal neurons.
