Conclusion TGF-β and Fn might play an important role in the development and maturation of mouse kidney.

Objective To determine the effect of exogenous wild-type p53(WT-p53) on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines possessing different p53 functional status.Methods With recombinant adenoviral vector expressing WT-p53(Ad-p53),p53 gene was transfected into HCC cell lines:Bel-7402,QGY-7701, and PLC/PRF/5.The cytotoxicities of Ad-p53 to these cell lines were measured by MTT assay,cell growth properties and cell cycle pattern were assessed by flow cytometry.Results The OD of PLC/PRF/5, Bel-7402,and QGY-7701 cells transfected with Ad-p53 of 40,200,and 800 MOI were 0.02?0.00 vs 0.98?0.16(P0.05),compared with control groups respectively. Analysis of flow cytometry showed higher G2/M? lower S and apoptosis ratio in PLC/PRF/5 cells,while higher G0/G1 ratio and lower S ratio in Bel-7402 cells. ConclusionReplication-deficient adenoviral vector expressing WT-p53 may be useful for gene therapy in HCC regardless the status of endogenous p53.

It is rare that large mixed tumors of salivary gland located in the nose and uvula. The patient who had mixed tumors of salivary gland at nose found exophytic growth tumor for half a year. The other patient who had mixed tumors of salivary gland at uvula felt swallowing foreign body sensation for one year, and dysphagia for one month. After surgical resection, the symptoms disappear.

Objective To determine the relationship between neck circumference (NC) and cardiovascular risk factors among Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian and Han populations in Boertala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang.Methods A total of 4299 adults (Uygur 1237,Kazak 1047,Mongolian 812,and Han 1203) aged 20 to 79 years old were selected from a cross-sectional study of metabolic syndrome in Boertala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang.Pearson's correlation was used to assess the relationship between NC and body mass index (BMI),waist circumference (WC),waist-to-hip ration (WHR),systolic blood pressur (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),fasting blood glucose (FBG),total cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG).Linear regression and Logistic regression were used to evaluate the effects of NC on SBP,DBP,FBG,TC,LDL-C,HDL-C,TG,hypertension,high FBG and lipid disorders among multiethnic population.Results Mean NC was (36.2 ± 3.8) cm in Uygur,(36.3 ± 4.1) cm in Kazak,(35.9 ± 3.6) cm in Mongolian and (35.7 ± 4.0) cm in Han,respectively.After adjusting age and gender,in Pearson's correlation coefficients,a significant association was found between NC and BMI (for Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian and Han,r values were 0.552,0.499,0.709 and 0.459,respectively; all P ＜ 0.05) or WC (for Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian and Han,r values were 0.525,0.479,0.695 and 0.376,respectively; all P ＜ 0.05).When BMI,WC and other factors were adjusted,linear regression indicated that FBG in Uygur (t =3.746,P ＜ 0.05) and LogTG in Mongolian (t =2.876 P ＜ 0.05) were increased with NC.In Logistic regression,increased NC was a risk factor of higher FBG in Uygur (odds ratio (OR) =1.139,95％confidence interval (CI):1.027-1.264) and lipid disorder in Mongolian (OR =1.156,95％ CI:1.009-1.325).Conclusions Our data suggest that NC may be associated with multiple risk factors of cardiovascular disease in Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian and Han adults,and the relationship could be different among multiethnic populations.It should be necessary to explore the role of upper-body fat in the development of metabolic disorders.

BACKGROUND:Hyperbaric oxygen as a wel-recognized therapy for ischemic and hypoxic diseases has to be combined with other treatments. OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of hyperbaric oxygen combined with neural stem cel transplantation via tail vein in chronic stress depression rats. METHODS:Of 60 Sprague-Dawley rats, 15 rats randomly selected were given no treatment as normal group, and the rest 45 ones were used to establish a rat model of depression and randomly divided into three groups:model group (n=15, without giving any treatment), neural stem cel group (n=15, injection of 1 mL neural stem cel suspension (3×106) via the tail vein) and combined group (n=15, hyperbaric oxygen treatment plus neural stem cel injection). Hyperbaric oxygen treatments were carried out four times per day, for 1 week, and al the treatments were given 24 hours after modeling. Rats in each group were subjected to body mass measurement and sugar water consumption test 1 and 2 weeks after treatment, and open field test within 5 minutes after treatment to observe rat behavior changes. The survival and distribution of CM-Dil labeled neural stem cel s were observed by fluorescence microscopy. The changes in the size, morphology and number of hippocampus neurons in rat were detected by the method of nylon staining. TUNEL method was used to measure the apoptosis of nerve cel s. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal group, in the model group, rat’s body weight, sucrose water preference and open field test scores were significantly lower, reduced number of hippocampal neurons with intact structure was found and TUNEL results showed more apoptosis (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the body weight, sucrose preference and open field test score increased significantly (P<0.05), the number of hippocampal neurons was increased, while the number of apoptotic cel s was reduced significantly in the neural stem cel and combined groups (P<0.05). Compared with the neural stem cel group, these indexes were improved more significantly in the combined group (P<0.05). More CM-Dil positive cel s were found in the combined group than the neural stem cel group (P<0.05). Additional y, the number of hippocampal neurons was higher in the combined group than the neural stem cel group, but lower than the normal group. To conclude, transplantation of neural stem cel s combined with hyperbaric oxygen can improve the depression behavior and apoptosis in the hippocampal neurons in chronic stress depression rats.
