Tumor growth depends on the tumor microenvironment(TME).Tumor-associated neutrophils(TANs)are important inflammatory cells in TME.TANs are divided intoN1type with anti-tumor effect andN2type of tumor-promoting effect.Therefore,TANs have both beneficial and harmful aspects of the body.A large number of studies have been shown that TANs affect tumor formation,metastasis,angiogenesis and immune response,regulated by the secretion of cytokines and chemokines.This review will summarize the biological characteristics of TANs,and tumor development,prognosis and treatment of tumor as well as research progress of the relationship between TANs and tumor.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect and safety of homemade biodegradable drug eluting stents(Excel stents)in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods Two hundred and twelve patients who received Excel stents implantation during February,2006 to March 2007 were included in the study.Procedural success rate and complications during hospitalization were monitored and all the patients were followed up clinically up to 8-21 months after discharge.Results The procedural success rate was 99.1%(210/212).A total of 420 Excel stents were implanted while direct stenting was applied in 125 patients(29.8%).Sudden cardiac death happened in 1 patient during hospitalization.Two hundred and six patients finished their clinical follow up and among them,6 patients had recurrant angina.Fifty patients received CAG examination 6-9 months after PCI and 2 patients reached the criteria of restenosis(stenosis ≥50%)and required revascularization.Conclusion Homemade biodegradable drug eluting stents(Excel stents)are safe and effective for PCI in coronary heart disease patients.

Objective To study the expression of survivin in malignant pleomorphic adenoma,relay pleomorphic adenoma and pleomorphic adenoma.Methods The transcription and interpretation of urvivin mRNA in the salivary gland tumor were analyzed via immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization methods.Results Survivin mRNA expression and protein expression were almost the same in malignant pleomorphic adenoma,relay pleomorphic adenoma and pleomorphic adenoma.But they were different in the gland around the malignant pleomorphic adenoma.There was a significant difference of Survivin mRNA and protein expression in pleomorphic adenoma and malignant pleomorphic adenoma,and relay pleomorphic adenoma.The expressions were almost the same in relay and malignant pleomorphic adenoma.Conclusion The expression of survivin mRNA and protein is increased in pleomorphic adenoma and may be involved in the onset and progression of pleomorphic adenoma.It indicates that mRNA is relatively stable in the mRNA transcription and protein interpretation in malignant pleomorphic adenoma,and it is also showed earlier in gene amplification than in protein expression of the malignant tumor in the initial stage of malignant pleomorphic adenoma.Survivin can be a new diagnostic/therapeutic target in pleomorphic adenoma.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is a kind of stem cell with potential of self-repair and multi-differentiation. It may differentiate into neuron, adipose cell and osteoblasts.OBJECTIVE: To observe the transforming efficacy of human bone marrow mesencymal stem cells (hMSCs) into neurons in vitro in different generations so as to provide reliable experimental data for the clinical application of MSCs.DESIGN: Single sample was designed.SETTING: Department of Neurology, Sino-Japan Friendship Hospital,Jilin UniversityPARTICIPANTS: Marrow tissue was collected from 9 cases of spinal fusion in Department of Orthopedics of First Hospital affiliated to Jilin University. Of 9 cases, all of them were in known of the experiment.METHODS: The experiment was performed in Sino-Japan Hospital affiliated to Jilin University from September 2002 to February 2003. The primary and generative culture of hMSCs was given. Experimental and the control groups were divided.-mercaptoethanol was taken as inducer. hMSCs of the 2rd, 4th, 6th and 8th generations were selected for induction in vitro for 6 h. Cytochemistry staining and immunohistochemistry staining were used to assay the expressions of neuronal and astrocytic marked proteins.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Growth curve analysis on genera tive culture of hMSCs. ② Nissel staining. ③ Immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS: ① Common characters of generative culture: The latent phase of generative culture was 12-24 hours, exponential phase was 7-10 days and 11-13 days later, cell culture entered the platform phase. ② After induction of the 2nd, 4th and 6th generated hMSCs, deep blue granular Nissl body presented in cytoplasm. In 6 hours on the 8th induction, there was no obvious deep blue Nissl structure presented in cytoplasm.③ Except GFAP, NSE and NF-M were expressed in hMSCs of different generations after induction for 6 hours. There was no significant difference in positive rates of the 2nd, 4th and 6th generations (P ＞ 0.05), but the significant difference presented in comparison between the 8th generation and the 2nd, 4thand 6th generations (P ＜ 0.05). CONCLUSION:-mercaptoethanol can induce hMSCs differentiating into neuronal cells in vitro. The positive rates of the 2nd, 4th and 6th generationsare higher remarkably than the 8th generation.

Cisplatin is effective in the treatment of various solid tumors. However, its clinical application is limited because of the severe side-effects such as nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, ototoxicity and so on. Drug combination is advocated in clinics for synergism and detoxication. In order to provide some referencs for the research of drug combination and clinical treatment regimen, the research advances in the synergism and detoxication of drug combination of cisplatin with chemicals/ traditional Chinese medicines in recent years are reviewed in the paper.
