Cancer stem cells are a subclass of stem-cell-like tumor cells.They have an apparently higher tumorigenicity than other cell populations within the same tumor.They play a Very important role in genesis,development and maintenance of cancer.The data from research in leukemia and solid timors suggest that in each cancer tissue,only a small fraction of the cells have the ability to initiate tumor,which are called cancer stem cells.In recent years,with in-depth research on stem cells and cancer stem cells,accumulating evidence suggests that cancer stem cells are the cause of malignant tumor metastasis and recurrence and are resistant current callcer drugs.Drugs targeting cancer stem cells are urgently needed. Flow cytometry and magnetic cell sorting using the identified tumor stem cell surface markers are mainly used to separate cancer stem cells or stem cell-like cells. In this article,the concept of cancer stem cells and the commonly used approaches to isolate and identify cancer stem cells,especially for gastric cancer stem cells will be reviewed.

0.05). ConclusionsAdriamycin can induce apoptosis of cancer cells, and this is an important mechanism for its anticancer effect. This effect may be related to the down regulation of Bel-2 (expression).

OBJECTIVETo evaluate effects of different treatments on patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty in pain and function.

METHODSFrom March 2010 to March 2012,138 patients (165 vertebrae) with thoracic and lumbar vertebral osteoporotic fracture were randomly divided into three groups (control group, treatment group and comprehensive group), 46 cases in each group, and all patients were treated by PKP. Control group were treated with calcium and calcitriol after operation, treatment group added salmon calcitonin see calcimar based on control group, comprehensive group added incrementality waist musculi dorsi function exercise based on treatment group. VAS, ODI scores and BMD before operation, 3 d, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after operation were detected and compared.

RESULTSAll operation were performed successfully,38 cases (45 vertebrae) in control group, 36 cases (44 vertebrae) in treatment group and 40 cases (49 vertebrae) were obtained complete following up, there was no significant meaning in following time among three groups (P>0.05). Postoperative VAS and ODI scores at 3 d, 2 weeks and 1 month among three groups were lower than that of before operation (P<0.01). Compared with control group, postoperative VAS score at 3 d, 2 weeks and 1 month were decreasedin treatment group and comprehensive group, but there was no significant meaning in ODI scores (P>0.05). At 6 and 12 months after operation,there was no significant differences in VAS and ODI between control group and treatment group (P>0.05), while VAS score in comprehensive group decreased much than other two groups,decreased continuously (P<0.01). At 12 months after operation, BMD among three groups were increased more than preoperative,and BMD in comprehensive group was more obviously than that of in control and treatment group.

CONCLUSIONPKP, an effective method for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar vertebral osteoporotic fracture, could improve short-term clinical effects by adding calcitonin with calcium supplements and activated vitamin D. Waist musculi dorsi function exercise could improve long-term clinical effects of PKP and improve quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the performance of bone suppression images on the detection of lung nodules in comparison with the radiologists'reading results.Methods There were 141 standard posteroanterior digital chest radiographs,which included 95 patients with a solitary nodule and 46 controls.In this observational study,4 observers,including 2 radiologists and 2 residents,in-dicated their confidence level regarding the presence of a nodule for each lung,first by use of standard images,then with the addition of bone suppression images.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve analysis was used to evaluate the observers'performance. Results Average nodule size was (1.9±1)cm (range from 0.9 cm to 2.9 cm).The mean value of the area under the ROC curve (AUC)was significantly improved from 0.844 with use of standard images alone to 0.873 with use of bone suppression images (P<0.01).Conclusion The use of bone suppression images can improve radiologists'performance on detection of lung nodules on chest radiographs.

AIM To investigate the protective effect of polydatin on ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury in cardiac muscle and the possible mechanism. METHODS Langendorff technique was used to make I-R injury in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, model, polydatin(25, 50 and 75 μmol·L-1), glibenclamide(Gli, 10 μmol·L-1)+polydatin(50 μmol·L-1), 5-hydroxydecanoate(5-HD, 100 μmol·L-1)+polydatin(50 μmol·L-1), and atractyloside (Atr, 20 μmol·L-1)+polydatin(50 μmol·L-1) groups. The hearts in control group were perfused with K-H solution for 110 min. Model group hearts were subjected to 30 min no-flow global ischemia followed by 60 min of reperfusion. The hearts in 3 polydatin groups were perfused with K-H solution containing different concentrations of polydatin for 10 min before I-R. The hearts in Gli+polydatin and 5-HD+polydatin groups were perfused with K-H solution containing Gli or 5-HD for 5 min firstly, then perfused with K-H solution containing both polydatin and Gli or 5-HD for 10 min before I-R. The hearts in Atr+polydatin group were perfused with K-H solution containing polydatin for 10 min before I-R and perfused with K-H solution containing Atr for 15 min after I-R. The cardiac function, including left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), the maximal rates of rise and decline of left ventricular pressure (±dp/dtmax), and coronary flow (CF), were recorded before, after 30 min no-flow global ischemia and, during 60 min reperfusion. Myocardial infarct size was assessed using 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride method and myocardial ultrastructure was observed via transmission electron microscope after 60 min reperfusion. RESULTS There were no significant differences in cardiac functional parameters between control and model groups in pre-ischemia condition. Compared with model group, polydatin promoted a better recovery of cardiac function after I-R in a concentration-dependent manner. After 60 min of reperfusion, the values of LVDP, ±dp/dtmax and CF in polydatin groups were much higher, but LVEDP was lower than those in model group. Polydatin (50 μmol·L-1) also significantly reduced myocardial infarct size and relieved the I-R injury of myocardial ultrastructure. The protective effects of polydatin (50 μmol·L-1) on LVDP, LVEDP, ±dp/dtmax and CF, as well as the inhibitory effect on infarct size after I-R were abolished by Gli, 5-HD and Atr. CONCLUSION Polydatin has protective effect against I-R injury in rat hearts, which may be related with the opening of ATP-sensitive potassium channel located in both cell membrane and mitochondrial membrane, as well as inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening.
