It is well known that oligosaccharides in glycoproteins and glycolipids play crucial roles in a variety of cellular functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, and intercellular communications. The oligosaccharides of cell are increasingly being recognized as one of the most prominent biochemical alterations associated with malignant transformation and tumorigenesis. Glycosylations in different cell cycle and cell growth periods are significantly distinct, and these differences affect the cell cycle progression. In the past decades, along with the advances in genomics and proteomics, the functional significance of cancer-associated changes in glycosylation has been revealed. Eukaryotic organisms depend on an intricate and evolutionary conserved cell cycle to control cell devision. Mistakes in cell cycle process lead to cancer. This review highlights the relations between cell cycle and glycosylation changes in cancer cells.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and advantages through the combination of transurethral resectoscope outer sheath and ueteroscopy for treatment of bladder stones.MethodsThe Wolf F24 transurethral resectoscope was first placed in bladder to observe the lesions in 68 patients with bladder stones.With the moving out of the body and inner sheath,F8 ureteroscopy sheath was sent into the bladder through outer sheath,then,holmium laser lithotripsy was performed.ResultsSixty-eight patients got successful operations without postoperative stones residual,significant postoperative bleeding,urethral tear,bladder injury and infection complications. The gravel rate reached 100% 20 - 60 minutes ( 36.7 ± 5 ) min.ConclusionThe combination of transurethral resectoscope outer sheath and ueteroscopy is effective and safe for treatment of bladder stones.

BACKGROUND:Schwann cells transplantation can change the local micro-environment and help to repair the injured neural tissue, so getting a large number of highly purified and active Schwann cells is the key of the study. OBJECTIVE: To search for a simple and rapid method to extract and purify the Schwann cells.METHODS: Rats were divided randomly into two groups, namely, in vivo pre-degeneration of sciatic nerve resection group and untreated control group, with 20 rats in each group. Under sterile conditions, the rat sciatic nerves were cut off at post-operative 7 days, Schwann cells were extracted by using mixed enzyme digestion and tissue mass transplantation; through low enzyme digestion and twice inoculation to differential adhesion, Schwann cells were purified. Cell morphology was observed under phase contrast microscope and identified by mmunofluorescence staining; cell purity was calculated; MTT method assay was used to determine the capacity of cell proliferation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 7 days of the culture, the experimental group showed the typical bipolar or bipolar Schwann cells, with connections between cells; in control group, cell processes were shorter and less associated with the surrounding cells. Following S-100 immunofluorescence staining, cells were positive for green expression.Cells proliferated rapidly in the experimental group and formed a swirling shape at 15 days, there were a relatively small number of fibroblasts, at the purity of 96.1%; in the control group, the cells proliferated slowly, with many fibroblasts at a low purity. MTT assay showed that primary cultured Schwann cell proliferated weakly in both groups; compared with the control group, the proliferation of subcultured Schwann cells in the experimental group was markedly increased (P < 0.05 or 0.01), and reached a peak 3 4 days later. The results confirmed that in vivo denaturing, in vitro hybrid enzyme digestion, tissue mass transplantation combined with low enzyme digestion, separation of double-differential adhesion of Schwann cells is a simple and rapid method to extract and purify Schwann cells.

Objective To study the Mediating effect of insecurity between childhood abuse and emotional distress of medical students,and to provide basis to intervene their mental disorder.Methods Through stratified sampling,262 medical students in Jiangsu were investigated by the Personal Report of Childhood Abuse( PRCA),Self-Rating Feeling of Insecurity Scale( SRFIS),Beck Depression Inventory( BDI ),Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Suicide Ideation Scale(SIS).A path analysis was applied by Analysis of Moment Structures(AMOS) version 7.0.Results The path analysis showed that childhood abuse was directly related to insecurity of medical students ( β =0.538,P <0.01 ),and was directly related to emotional distress ( β =0.435,P < 0.01 ).Insecurity were directly related to emotional distress of medical students ( β =0.342,P < 0.05 ).Insecurity mediated partly the relationship between childhood abuse and emotional distress of medical students.The model fit indexes were X2/df =1.365 < 3.000,P =O.082 > 0.05,RMSEA =0.037 < 0.050,GFI =0.971,AGFI =0.940,NFI =0.943,RFI =0.902,IFI =0.984,TLI =0.972,CFI =0.984.Conclusion Insecurity as mediated variable mediates the relationship between childhood abuse and emotional distress of medical students.
