Objective To investigate the effects of human bone marrow fibroblastoid stromal cell lines HFCL on the proliferation .migrating and homing of multiple myeloma cell lines RPM18226. Methods The co-culture system of RPMI8226 and HFCL was established through cell culture in vitro, growth curves were determined by trypan blue exclusion, cell cycle and expression of adhension molecule CD49d were detected by flow cytometry, and expression of CXCR4 gene was examined by RT-PCR. Results The proliferation of RPMI8226 cells in direct contact with HFCL cells group was inhibited strongerly than that in transwell group. The percentage of G1 phase cells of RPMI8226 cells in direct contact with HFCL group was higher than that of RPM 18226 in transwell group, while the percentage of S phase cells was lower. The expressions of CD49d and CXCR4 in RPMI8226 cells were down-regulated by HFCL cells, and that in transwell group was higher than that in direct contact with HFCL cells group. Conclusion Human bone marrow fibroblastoidss tromal cell HFCL can inhibit the proliferation and the expressions of CD49d and CXCR4 of multiple myeloma cell line RPMI8226, and can prevent multiple myeloma cells from migrating and homing.

Objective To observe the influence of insulin resistance(IR) and isosorbide mononitrate(ISMN) on myocardial cellular apoptosis in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) .Methods Forty male 14‐week old Wistar(W) rats and SHR(S) each were respectively or jointly fed with normal diet (ND) ,high fat and high glucose(HFHG) diet ,normal saline(NS)and ISMN by ga‐vage .Then they were randomly divided into the normal and NS group (normal W and normal S ) ,HFHG and NS group(HFHG W and HFHG S) ,normal and ISMN group(ISMN W and ISMN S) ,HFHG and ISMN group(HI W and HI S) ,with 10 rats in each group .After 12‐week feeding ,carotid arterial blood was collected for detecting blood glucose concentration and insulin level and cal‐culating insulin resistance index (HOMA‐IR);4 myocardial tissue samples were taken for respectively observing the morphology under microscope ,and detecting the NO level ,myocardial Bcl‐2 ,Bax gene and their protein expression levels in myocardial tissue . Results Myocardial NO level ,Bax gene mRNA and related protein levels in the HFHG and ISMN intervention groups were higher than those in the normal group ,while the bcl‐2 gene mRNA and related protein expression were on the contrary ;myocardial tissue NO level ,Bax gene mRNA and related protein expression in the S groups were increased compared with the corresponding W groups ,while the bcl‐2 gene mRNA and related protein expression were on the contrary ;in the HFHG W group ,the myocardial tis‐sue NO level had significantly positive correlation with HOMA‐IR ,and in the ISMN W group ,HOMA‐IR was positively correlated with the NO level in the myocardial tissue .Conclusion Myocardial cellular apoptosis of SHR is increased compared with Wistar rats ;both IR and ISMN can aggravate the apoptosis of SHR myocardial cells ,moreover IR has a mutual induction and reciprocal causation with ISMN .

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and method of diagnosis and treatment of(nonfunctioning) parathyroid cysts(NFPTC).Methods The clinical data of 15 cases of nonfunctioning(parathyroid) cysts admitted in the recent 16 years were retrospectively analyzed.Results None of the cases were diagnosed before operation,and the diagnosis of all of the cases was verified by pathology.All of the(cases) were cured by operation.Follow-up found no case with recurrence.Conclusions Pathologic(examination) is the most reliable diagnostic method for NFPTC.Needle aspiration of fluid to test for PTH or(cytology) is an important method in diagnosis before operation.Surgical resection is the most ideal method of treatment.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in preoperative staging of gastric carcinoma,and to study the molecular biologic basis of its ultrasonic manifestation.Methods Sev-enty-four patients with gastric carcinoma were referred to EUS and staged preoperatively.The staging esults of EUS were compared with the histopathological staging and the expression of PTEN.Results The verall accuracy rate of EUS for determination of T staging was 82.4%(61/74),for T1,T2,T3 and T4 were 100.0%,72.7％,85.O％ and 78.9％,respectively.For N staging,EUS had the overall accuracy rate of 74.3%(55/74),with sensitivity and specificity of 80.8％ and 59.1％,respectively.The preoperative EUS for T and N staging of gastric carcinoma was of inverse correlation with the expression of PTEN.Conclusions EUS is an accurate staging modality in determining carcinoma invasive depth and lymph node involved,with a few exceptions of overstaging and understaging.However,EUS criteria to differentiate benign from malignant nodes still need to be further defined by future studies.The preoperative EUS for T and N staging could well display the molecular pathologic basis of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens of TA or AC in the treatment of locally advanced triple negative breast cancer. Methods Data of 99 women with stageⅡ/ Ⅲ locally advanced triple negative breast cancer treated in the Centre Hospital of Cangzhou from Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into two groups based on the regimen of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Fifty-two cases were received TA regimen(Docetaxel 75 mg/ m2 and pirarubicin 50 mg/ m2 )and 47 cases were received AC( pirarubicin 50 mg/ m2 ,cyclophosphamide 600 mg/ m2 ). IV drip infusion was administered in both groups for 4 cycles before surgery,with 3 weeks for each cycle. The efficacy after treatment,the 2 year recurrence rate and overall survival rate after operation were compared between the two groups. Results The response rates in TA group were 88. 46% ,higher than that of AC group(57. 45% ),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2 = 12. 260,P < 0. 001). Furthermore,the rate of pathological grade 4 and 5 in TA group were 42. 3%(22 / 52)was superior to AC group(23. 4%(11 / 47);P = 0. 046). The 2-year recurrence rate and survival rate in TA group were 23. 08%(12 / 52)and 84. 62% ,as same as that in AC group ((27. 66%(13 / 47)and 80. 85% ;χ2 = 0. 400;P = 0. 53). Conclusion TA and AC are both effective in terms of females with stage Ⅱ/ Ⅲ locally advanced triple negative breast cancer treat with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Moreover,TA is superior to AC. However,there is no statistical difference of 2-years recurrence rate and survival rate between two groups.

0.05).The major toxicity and side effects were bone marrow inhibition,gastrointestinal reaction and mucosal reaction.The difference of hematologic toxicity and gastrointestinal between the two groups was statistically significant(P0.05).The GEM group could be well tolerated for the concurrent chemoradiotherap of patients with stage Ⅲ～Ⅳa nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).

Objective:To isolate and culture the pulp cells from human young permanent teeth (pDPC),and to observe their biological characteristics and the expression of some specific markers,and to induce these pulp cells to differentiate into osteoblast, adipocyte, neuron and chondrocyte lineages. Methods:Pulp cells were isolated and cultured from orthodontic extracted premolars of children. The attached cells after at least 3 passages were used for the following experiments:1. Morphology and ultrastructure analysis; 2. Cell cycle and phenotype were analyzed by flowcytometry; 3. Growth curve were recorded;4. pDPC were induced to differentiate into osteoblast,adipocyte,neuron in vitro,and were identified by histochemical methods and RT-PCR. Results: 1. Attached pDPCs were fibrablast-like cells,which were distinguished from BMSC. 2. The cell organs in dDPCs were well developed. 3. pDPCs were highly positive for CD90, CD44, CD147,which are mesenchymal stem-cell markers,but were negative for other markers including CD34, CD38, CD45, HLA-DR. 4. pDPCs showed high growth rate. 5. pDPCs could be induced to differentiate into osteoblast, adipocyte, and neuron lineages,but not chondrocyte lineages. Conclusion:pDPCs were characterized by their ability to proliferate with high growth rate in vitro. The expression of some BMSC markers in these cells were observed. They showed the potential to differentiate into multiple mesenchymal lineages such as osteoblst,adipocyte, neuron lineages under specific conditions in vitro.
