Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of adenovirus-mediated herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase (TK) gene combined with ?-IFN on renal clear-cell carcinoma. Methods: Adenovirus containing suicide gene TK, in combination with GCV or ?-IFN, was used to treat human renal clear-cell carcinoma cell line 786-0, and the in vitro cytotoxic effects against 786-0 were evaluated using MTT method. The subcutaneous transplantation model of 786-0 cells was established with nude mice. Adenovirus containing TK gene was injected intratumorally and the GCV (50 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally; ?-IFN (104 U/L) was injected intratumorally in combined therapy. The growth of tumors was observed after treatments. Results: The survival rate of 786-0 cells was (35.07?1.43)% in the TK+GCV+?-IFN group, (68.57?1.41)% in the TK+GCV group and (68.65?1.45)% in the ?-IFN group ( P=0.000). There was an obvious synergic effect between Ad-TK and ?-IFN in inhibiting 786-0 cells. Ad-TK combined with GCV and ?-IFN significantly suppressed the growth of 786-0 cells growth in nude mice model.Conclusion: Adenovirus-mediated TK plus prodrug GCV combined with ?-IFN has obvious therapeutic effect in treatment of human renal clear-cell carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic portal vein catheterization and thrombolysis on superior mesenteric vein thrombosis.Methods The treatment and therapeutic efficacy of 15 cases of patients with superior mesenteric vein thrombosis underwent percutaneous transhepatic portal vein catheterization and thrombolysis from January 2000 to April 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Percutaneous transhepatic portal vein catheterization was performed successfully in 15patients,without pneumothorax,bile leakage and intra-abdominal hemorrhage after catheterization.Eleven patients had good thrombolytic effect,with majority or complete recanalization on superior mesenteric vein,portal vein and splenic vein.The rate of recanalization Was 73.3％,total mortality was 13.3％.The total amount of urokinase was not more than 500 million U,and there was no cases with systemic bleeding.From 6 months to 36months follow-up,there was no increased portal vein system thrombosis and recurrent cases.Conclnsion Thrombolysis technique of percutaneous transhepatic portal vein catheterization is easy to master,and with good effect of local infusion thrombolytic therapy and lower complication rate.It's a selectable treatment for superior mesenteric vein thrombosis.

Objective To study the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the recovery of neurological functional after cerebral infarction,and to discuss its possible mechanism.Methods Forty-five patients with cerebral infarction were randomly divided into a control group,an rTMS group and an rTMS plus HBO group,each group with 15 patients.The patients in the two treatment groups received 1 Hz rTMS to inhibit the unaffected hemisphere and 3 Hz rTMS to stimulate the affected hemisphere.One of the treatment groups also received HBO therapy,14 daily sessions.The National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) and the Barthel index (BI) were evaluated on the 1st,14th and 30th day of treatment.Results The neurological function scores of those in the rTMS group and the rTMS & HBO group improved significantly.On the 1st and 14th day,no significant difference in NIHSS or BI scores was observed among the three groups,but by the 30th day the average neurological functional score in the rTMS & HBO group had improved significantly compared with the control group.The rTMS plus HBO group showed significantly better improvement than the rTMS group in terms of BI scores,but no significant difference in average NIHSS and BI scores was observed between the rTMS group and the control group.Fifteen days after the treatments had finished,the follow up results showed the improvements of the patients in the rTMS plus HBO group were significantly better than those in the other groups.Conclusion For patients with cerebral infarction,rTMS combined with HBO therapy can improve neurological function more significantly than rTMS therapy alone.

Objective To establish a rat model of superior mesenteric vein thrombosis by vein ligation and to simulate the pathological process of the disease, and to provide the basis for studies of its pathogenesis and treatment.Methods Ninety-six SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: Group A (sham operation group), group B (strangulation group) and group C (simple group), 32 rats in each group.Rats in group A were only opened the abdominal cavity but not blocked the blood supply.The rats were sacrificed at 8, 24, 48 and 72 h after operation.The rats in groups B and C were subjected to establish the strangulation and simple models by superior mesenteric vein thrombosis, respectively, and were sacrificed at 8, 24, 48 and 72 h after modeling.Histological changes (H&E staining) in the rat intestinal tissues were evaluated by a pathological scoring system.The levels of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) and α-glutathione S-transferase (α-GST) were detected by ELISA.Results The rat model of mesenteric vein thrombosis was successfully established, with a success rate of 100% (96/96).The pathological analysis revealed that compared with the group A, different degrees of blood stasis and injuries were observed in the intestinal tissues of groups B and C, and the injury were gradually increased in the group B, while gradually reduced in the group C.The degrees of blood stasis and injury were positively correlated with the scope of ligation.The result of ELISA showed that the serum levels of IFABP and α-GST of the rats in groups B and C were significantly higher than those in group A (P < 0.05), and the degree of elevation was positively correlated with the scope of ligation.Conclusions In this study, the rat model of superior mesenteric vein thrombosis is successfully established by vein ligation.This model is simple and easy to operate with a high success rate, and can be used in related research.

Objective To investigate the effect of different pore sized hydroxyapatite for promoting bone vascularization in tissue engineering.Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups,named group A,B and C,which were im-planted hydroxyapatite bioceramics compositing 4 μg bone morphogenetic protein with different aperture of 200 -300,350 -450, 500-600 μm in the back subcutaneously.The size of each block was 5 mm×5 mm×1 mm in a weight about of 40.0 mg.After im-plantation,the animals were killed and the implants and the surrounding tissue were taken out at the first,second,third and forth week respectively.HE staining of histological analysis was used to detect the situation of local neovascularization.Results There was significant difference between second and third week in group A.Comparing the area of vascularization at different time points in group B and group C,there were significant difference in the comparison of intragroup (P <0.05 ).During the first week after surgery,there was only group C that had the area of vascularization.During the second and forth week after operation,the area of vascularization in group B and group C were significant higher than group A (P <0.05).The C group showed a great deal of new-born blood vessels and clear formation of bone trabeculae.Conclusion The hydroxyapatite bioceramics of 500-600 μm could better promote vascalarization of tissue engineering in bone.

Objective To comparatively evaluate the effects of a recombinant Mtb protein ESAT 6-CFP10 ( rESAT6-CFP10 ) and a purified protein derivative ( PPD ) as skin test reagents in guinea pigs . Methods Guinea pigs were sensitized with different Mycobacteria species .After sensitization , all guinea pigs were intradermally injected with rESAT6-CFP10 and PPD.At 48 h after the injection, the size of ery-thema at injection sites was measured by using a double-blind method .For guinea pigs sensitized with viable Mtb, the size of erythema at injection sites were measured at 24 h after the injection .The positive conversion rates of skin test with rESAT 6-CFP10 and PPD were calculated .Results The results of PPD skin test were positive in all guinea pigs sensitized with viable Mtb , killed Mtb and BCG with erythema diameters of (11.4 ±0.9) mm, (11.8±1.1) mm and (13.2±0.8) mm, respectively.Positive skin test with rESAT6-CFP10 was only observed in guinea pigs infected by viable Mtb-showing erythema diameters of (13.7±5.7) mm. The skin test with rESAT6-CFP10 was negative in guinea pigs sensitized by killed Mtb-and vaccinated by BCG.The skin tests by using rESAT6-CFP10 and PPD were performed on randomly selected guinea pigs at ninth day after infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv.At the 2nd week, totally 24 selected guinea pigs showed positive skin test results with rESAT6-CFP10 (24/24) with erythema diameters of (19.9± 3.0) mm, while only 15 out of 24 had positive PPD skin test with erythema diameters of (6.1±5.5) mm. At the 4th week, all guinea pigs showed positive PPD skin test (3/3) with erythema diameters of (12.7± 2.5) mm.Conclusion The skin test by using recombinant ESAT 6-CFP10 protein can effectively distin-guish viable Mtb infection from BCG vaccination and killed Mtb sensitization , which is a more suitable anti-gen than PPD for the early diagnosis of Mtb infection .
