Objective To explore the influence of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 on the breast cancer metastasis and provide scientific base for studying the molecular mechanism of breast cancer metastasis by observing the expression of ICAM-1(intercellular adhension molecule1) and LFA-1(Lymphocyte function related antigen 1) in different time different metastasis stage of breast cancer. Methods We observed the expression of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 in breast cancer tissue as well as the expression of ICAM-1、LFA-1 and VEGFR-3 in Lymphatic vessel endothelial cell of nearby the breast cancer tissues from the patients of the operation in the defferent stages with the methods of HE staining and immunohistochemistry staining. Results The positive rate of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 expression in cancer cell and cancer nest of breast cancer was increased gradually along with the increase of clinical stages and the occurrence of lymph node metastasis. And the positive rate of ICAM-1、LFA-1 and VEGFR-3 expression in lymphatic vessel endothelial cell of nearby the breast cancer tissues was increased gradually too along with the increase of clinical stages and the occurrence of lymph node metastasis,which has the positive correlation,and it has the positive correlation that the ICAM-1 and LFA-1 expressed in Lymphatic vessel endothelial cell of nearby the breast cancer tissues(P0.05).Conclusion The ICAM-1 and LFA-1 were related with breast cancer lymph metastasis,and the ICAM-1 and LFA-1 promoted breast cancer lymph metastasis through synergism each other.The increase or decrease of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 expression in the breast cancer tissue and lymphatic vessel endothelial cell of nearby the breast cancer tissues could as the data target to display certain instruction function for prevention and treatment of breast cancer lymph metastasis.The Lymphatic vessel quantity of nearby the breast cancer tissues was increased along with tumor progress, which may be related with breast cancer lymph metastasis.VEGFR-3 has the high specificity in the lymphatic vessel endothelial cell expression,and may act as the lymphatic vessel as the lymphatic vessel endothelial cell specific marker.

Two new sesquiterpenoids, named as tyromols A and B (1 and 2), were isolated from cultures of basidiomycete Tyromyces chioneus, along with two previously reported 15-hydroxy-6 α, 12-epoxy-7β, 10αH, 11βH-spiroax-4-ene (3) and agripilol C (4). Compounds 1-4 were separated and purified by silica gel, RP-18, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis including IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR experiments.

Aim The effects of midazolam on the whole-cell sodium currents in rat sympathetic neurons were studied to explore the mechanisms where by midazolam mediates hypotension. Methods Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were performed on enzymatically isolated rat superior cervical sympathetic neurons. Results Midazolam dose-dependently blocked the whole-cell sodium currents evoked by a voltage step to 0 mV from a holding potential of -80 mV with a mean drug concentration required to produce 50% current inhibition (IC50) values of 18.35 ?mol?L-1; Clinically relevant concentration of midazolam(0.3 ?mol?L-1) reduced sodium peak currents by 19.98%(P

As a renewable clean energy,biodiesel has been the subject of much research in recent years owing to its excellent environmental performance.The bio-enzymatic method possesses unparalleled advantages over conventional chemical catalysis,and it would be the direction in biodiesel industrialization process.The progress and application of three biocatalytic approaches for biodiesel production including immobilized lipase,free lipase and whole-cell catalysis were summerized.Finally,the challenges of biodiesel industrialization in China are analyzed,and some effective measures are put forward.

Objective To investigate the rule of the cerebral tissues aquaporin-4(AQP-4) expression in acute and chronic hepatic failure mice.To study the molecular biologic mechanism of the diffusion weighted imaging(DWI).Methods Sixty five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups randomly,including acute(n=25),chronic hepatic failure(n=25)and control group(n=15). Thioacetamide(TAA)intraperitoneal injection produces the acute and chronic hepatic failure models.All rats in groups were examined with MR DWI.We Observed the distribution of abnormal signal on DWI.The DWI single values of top and lateral cortex of parietal lobe,peripheral region of lateral ventricle in the highest hyperintensity section of brain were measured.Blood ammonia values were examined.The pathologic and immuno-histochemistry and RT-PCR examination for brain specimen were performed.All date were analyzed with statistical methods.Results The mean values of blood ammonia were significantly different (P0.05).Conclusions Increase of the blood ammonia was the main cause for the brain energy metabolic abnormality and AQP-4 mRNA and protein expression.The hyperammonemia was the key factor in the occurrence and development of the hepatic brain edema.The abnormal findings in DWI signal could reflect the range and degree of the brain edema and AQP-4 protein expression.

BACKGROUND: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a special type of cells with self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential, which can differentiate into intestinal organoids under certain conditions. OBJECTIVE: To explore whether iPSCs can differentiate into intestinal organoids under specific conditions in vitro.METHODS: iPSCs from B6J mice were recovered and cultured for 3 days until clone units covered about 80％ of the culture dish, and then the cells were cultured in the medium containing Activin A for 3 days until the deterministic endoderm formed. Further, the culture medium was replaced by the medium with fibroblast growth factor 4 and Wnt3A for 4 days to differentiate into the spheroids with CDX2+. After that, spheroids were collected and mixed with Matrigel,and then the mixture was dropped into the 4-well plate and cultured with Rspondin1, Noggin, epidermal growth factor, B27 and other growth factors to differentiate into intestinal organoids. Cell morphology was observed, FoxA2 and Sox17 expresson in the deterministic endoderm was detected, and CDX2, Sox9, CGA, MMP7 were measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: iPSCs were cultured with Activin A for 3 days with higher cell fusion, initial differentiation and FoxA2/Sox17 expression (P < 0.05) than those of non-induced iPSCs. Spheroids began to appear at the 3rd day after culture with fibroblast growth factor 4 and WNT3A, and formed a lot at the 4th day. And CDX2 expression in spheroids was significantly increased compared with that in the deterministic endoderm (P < 0.05). Organoids gradually formed after 3 days culture, which contained all cell types of intestinal organoids, and expressions of specific markers, Sox9, CGA, MMP7, were significantly higher than those in spheroids (P < 0.05). To conclude, iPSCs can be induced to differentiate into intestinal organoids in three-dimensional niche in vitro.
