Objective To establish a human ovarian carcinoma cell line with directional highly lymphatic metastasis and to study their biological characteristics.Methods The clone cells of ovarian carcinoma,SKOV3,were inoculated into the hind foot pad of nude mice.The cancer cells of lymph node metastatic foci were transplanted into nude mice again when the metastatic nude of mice were observed.After repetition of this procedure for 3 cycles,the metastatic rate and the metastatic paths were observed in nude mice of every passage.We used limited dilution method to separate and select colonial cells with directional highly lymphatic metastatic potentials from the lymphatic metastasis of human ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3.The ceils with biological characteristics were assayed by growth curve,HE staining,karyotype analysis,nude mice transplantation and immunohistochemistry,respectively.Results We established a series of cell lines from lymph node metastasis and designated them as SKOV3-PM1,SKOV3-PM2 and SKOV3-PM3 cell strain.When the cells of SKOV3-PM3 were injected into the hind foot pad of nude mice, they produced 100%(10/10)spontaneous lymphatic metastasis.The lymphatic metastatic rates(26/10) were stable and higher than the mother cell line(1/10,P

Abstract With the increasing attention paid to preschool physical activity in recent years, physical activity load assessment of preschool children has evolved with the development of theory and the wide application of microelectronic technology. In this paper, relevant literature from PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI database were collected and analyzed, aiming to provide review and updates on physical activity load assessment in preschoolers. Given the characteristics of children s physical activities, effective measurement methods should be chosen and integrated from these tools, to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of children s physical activity load assessment.

BACKGROUND: The majority of children with β-thalassemia major have iron overload, and iron overload may have negative effects on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of liver and cardiac iron overload detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2* on HLA-identical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children with β-thalassemia major. METHODS: Eighty-one children with β-thalassemia major who were over 3 years of age and could cooperate with MRI detection were subjected to liver and heart MRI T2* tests before or after HLA-identical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. According to the test results, we calculated the liver and cardiac iron content, defined as an indicator of liver and heart iron overload. Then, there was a correlation analysis between the liver and cardiac iron content and serum ferritin, time of hematopoietic reconstitution, mortality rate, implantation rate and the morbidity of transplantation related complications, such as graft-versus-host disease, infections, autoimmune hemolysis, pancytopenia, hepatic veno-occlusive disease, septicemia. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The liver iron content was positively correlated with the time of hemoglobin implantation (r=0.229, P=0.043), and the cardiac iron content were positively correlated with the mortality rate (r=0.266, P=0.017); the serum ferritin level was negatively correlated with the implantation rate (r=-0.289, P=0.009), and positively correlated with the morbidity of septicemia (r=0.251, P=0.024) and pancytopenia (r=0.276, P=0.013). Therefore, iron overload exerts negative effects on HLA-identical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in β-thalassemia major children, and it is necessary to detect serum ferritin level and assess liver and cardiac iron overload before cell transplantation.

Objective To develop the finite element model of six-year-old child occupant lower extremity with higher biofidelity and validate the model of knee joints,as well as analyze the biomechanical responses of growth plate under frontal impact load and injury mechanisms of the knee joint by using this model.Methods The sixyear-old child occupant lower extremity with growth plate was modeled based on children's anatomy and CT images,and corresponding material properties of the lower extremity model were assigned.The model was validated according to biomechanical experiments by Kerrigan et aL and Haut et aL and then was used to analyze the injury results of growth plate with different material properties.Results The model validation was qualified by comparing the curves from the experimental and simulation results.The growth plates at knee regions could change injury patterns of the child occupant lower extremity fracture.The material properties of growth plate could affect threshold of axial damage of the femur as well as relative position of the fracture.Conclusions The validated model can be used for related study and application on biomechanical responses and injury mechanisms of sixyear-old child occupant lower extremities.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of coronary artery spasm patients with or without myocardial bridge and explore the roles of endothelial dysfunction in these patients.Methods One hundred eighteen patients undergone acetylcholine provoking test were divided into myocardial bridge(MB)group(n=26)and non-myocardial bridge(NMB) group(n=92).The results of acetylcholine test,treadmill exercise electrocardiography,stress myocardial peffusion scintigraphy,plasma level of endothelin-1 and nitric oxide were compared between MB group and NMB group.Results Coronary artery spasm was induced in 21 patients in MB group(81%)and 52 patients in NMB group(57%,P＜0.05).Positive treadmill electrocardiography was obtained in 19 patients in MB group(73%)and 7 patients in NMB group (8%,P＜0.001).Ischemic perfusion defect in 20(77%)and 9 patients(10%,P＜0.001)and reverse redistribution in 23(88%)and 68 patients(74%,P＞0.05).Patients showed different clinical features in MB group and NMB group(more short-duration exertional angina and could not be readily released by nitroglycerine in MB group while more patients experienced long-lasting variant angina and symptoms could be readily released by nitroglycerine).Plasma endothelin-1 level was significantly higher[(132.1±6.5)ns/L vs.(108.5±8.2)ng/L,P＜0.01]while nitric oxide was significant lower[(84.7±17.5)ns/L vs.(99.8±18.2)ng/L,P＜0.05]in MB group compared to NMB group.Conclusion MB patients were prone to coronary artery spasm partly due to endothelial dysfunction.Patients with MB and coronary artery spasm also showed classic clinical symptoms and positive stress tests for ischemia.

Tuberculosis （TB） and human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immune deficiency syndrome （HIV/AIDS） are both serious global public health threats. Early detection of infected persons and/or patients through TB/HIV bi-directional screening is crucial for prevention and control strategy in China and globally. In recent years， with the promotion and application of new TB and HIV detection technologies worldwide， TB/HIV bi-directional screening technologies and strategies have made remarkable changes. This expert consensus introduces the significance and challenges of TB/HIV bi-directional screening， summarizes important progress of research and applications， and makes recommendations on screening measures and procedures to further strengthen TB/HIV bi-directional screening in China.
