Objective To investigate the expression and role of CD147in the differentiation of nor-mal keratinocytes and squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)cells.Methods CD147expression was analyzed immunohistochemically in20cases of verruca vulgaris(VV),various benign,premalignant and malignant epidermal tumors including21cases of seborrheic keratosis(SK),20actinic keratosis(AK),20Bowen' s disease(BD)and57squamous cell carcinoma.SCCs were classified using Broder's system of grading.Im-munoblot analysis was used to observe CD147expression in normal keratinocyte(HaCaT)and SCC cell(HSC-5)in vitro during their differentiation process induced by calcium.The effects of high-calcium medi-um culture and CD147antibody on the differentiation-related morphology of HaCaT and HSC-5cells were also observed.Results The same staining pattern of CD147was shown in20VV and21SK specimens as in normal epidermis.Positive CD147staining throughout the lesion was shown in4of20AK and7of20BD specimens.Positive CD147staining at the periphery of tumor nests was shown in8of20gradeⅠSCC specimens.CD147expressed throughout tumor nests in16of20gradeⅡSCC and all of the17gradeⅢSCC specimens.Immunoblot analysis revealed decreased CD147expression in both HaCaT and HSC-5cells during differentiation process induced by calcium.Not only high-calcium medium but also CD147antibody could induce differentiation-related morphology of both HaCaT and HSC-5cells in vitro.Conclusion These results suggest that CD147is a novel low-differentiation marker of keratinocyte,which might inhibit the dif-ferentiation of both normal keratinocyte and SCC cell.

Objective:To ascertain the optimized ultrasonic condition for extraction of flavone from Radix Astragali by orthogonal design. Methods: The contents of calycosin-7-O-?-D -glucoside and formononetin were taken as the indices and were determined. The ultrasonic time (10 min, 20 min, and 30 min), concentrations of methanol (50%, 75% and 100%) and times of extraction (1, 2, and 3) were analyzed by orthogonal design; the best ultrasonic condition was ascertained and compared with those of soak extraction and Soxhlet extraction. Results: Ultrasonic with 100% methanol twice (20 minutes each time) was the optimized condition for extraction of flavone from Radix Astragali. The efficiency of ultrasonic extraction was better than those of soak extraction and Soxhlet extraction. Conclusion: Compared with other methods, the ultrasonic extraction of flavone from Radix Astragali is efficient, quick and simple.

Objective To evaluate how functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS)modifies patients symptom profiles and the quality of life and analyze the influential factors.Methods During 2010 to 2012,90 cases were investigated to evaluate the quality of life of different age groups to use SNOT-20.Results The quality of life after the surgery of different age groups were significantly higher than it before the surgery(P<0.05).The juvenile group:first dimension(nasal congestion,70%),the second dimension (memory,30%),the third dimension(worried about the condition,30%)and the fourth dimension(social influence,40%).The young aged group:first dimension(nasal congestion,73.3%),the fourth dimension(social influence,43.3%),second dimension (quality of sleep,20.0%)and the third dimension(irritability,16.7%).The middle and old aged group:first dimension(nasal con-gestion,66.7%),the third dimension(trepidation,20%),the second dimension(quality of sleep,20.0%)and the fourth dimension (financial burden,40.0%).Preoperative QOL related factors:complications,age,gender,disease duration and urban-rural;Postop-erative QOL related factors:complications,disease duration,age,perioperative management,gender and urban-rural.Conclusion The quality of life of different ages after FESS is improved in different aspects.To increase the level of perioperative compliance can improve the quality of life.

Objective To construct CD147 siRNA expression vector in o rder to analyze the role of CD147 in the invasion and metastasis of tumors deriv ed from skin.Methods According to CD147 cDNA sequence in the Genebank,a pair of 64-nt oligonucleotides,each containing the sites of restriction endonucleas e at both ends,were designed and synthesized.Oligonucleotides were annealed an d ligated with linearized pSUPER by T4DNA ligase.The recombinants (named pSUPER /CD147 siRNA ) were finally sequenced and identified by PCR and restriction end onuclease digestion.Results CD147 siRNA expression vector was successfully co nstructed and identified by double endonuclease digestion.Sequence analysis of inserted fragment revealed the same sequence as synthesized siRNA oligonucleotid es.Conclusions CD147 siRNA expression vector has been successfully constructed,which paves the way for studying the role of CD147 in the invasion and metasta sis of tumor cells derived from skin as well as in tumor therapy.

Background Bevacizumab has been widely used in the treatment of new blood vessel disease in ophthalmology.The investigation of the pharmacokinetics and safety after intracameral injection of bevacizumab can offer the basis for the management of iris neovascularization and neovascular glaucoma.Objective The present study was to observe the distribution of bevacizumab(avastin)in eye tissue and toxic effects following the injection of anterior chamber.Methods Twenty-four New Zealand albino rabbits were divided into two groups randomly.0.05 ml (1.25mg)of Bevacizumab was intracamerally injected into the left eyes in the experimental group,and a balanced salt solution of 0.05 ml was injected in the same way into the left eyes of the control group.The anterior segment of eyes and ocular fundus were examined by slit-lamp microscope and direct ophthalmoscope after injection.Intraocular pressure was measured and corneal endothelial microscopy was performed before and after the injections.Five rabbits of the two groups were sacrificed on the first day,the fourth day,the seventh day,the fourteenth day,and the thirtieth day after injection,and the eyeballs were enucleated for histopathological examination.The ultrastructure of eye tissue was observed under the transmission electron microscope on the fourth day and the thirtieth day,and then immunofluorescence staining were performed to assess the distribution of bevacizumab in the eye tissues.This experiment complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission(Version 1988).Results No abnormality in the cornea,lens,vitreous and retina was observed after the injection of bevacizumab under the slit lamp microscope and direct ophthalmoscope.No significant differences were found in intraocular pressure and corneal endothelial cell density in the bevacizumab group compared with the control group before injection and 2 hours,1 day,7 days,14 days,30 days after injection(P =0.760,P =0.956).No histopathological and ultrastructural changes of the cornea,lens,chamber angle,iris,ciliary body and retina were seen after the injection in the experimental group and control group under the light microscope and transmission electron microscope.Bevacizumab was distributed in the anterior chamber angle,iris,ciliary body,choroid and retina in injected eyes and fellow eyes after intracameral injection with red fluorescence and presented the dynamic changes with the lapse of time.The immunofluorescence response of eye tissue to bevacizumab was weaker in the fellow eyes compared with injected eyes.Bevacizumab was mainly distributed in the vessel wall and lumen.Conclusions Bevacizumab can quickly distribute in the vascular tissue of the anterior chamber angle,iris,ciliary body,choroid and retina in injected eyes after intracameral injection without obvious toxic effects to eye tissue.Bevacizumab administered intracamerally may be a new strategy or a joint strategy for iris neovascularisation.

Forty-two patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) were refered to 3 groups:type 2 DM without diabetic nephropathy (DN),type 2 DM with DN in the initial stage and type 2 DM with DN in the clinical stage.Ten healthy subjects were served as control group.Plasma adrenomedullin (ADM),urinary?_1- microglobulin (MG) and?_2-MG were detected.The results showed that the level of plasma ADM rose gradually with the development of DN and was positively correlated with markers of tubulointerstiial injury such as urinary?_1- MG and?_2-MG (both P

Objective To analyze the clinical characters in old patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods The clinical data of 426 patients undergoing CABG from January 2000 to April 2009 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. One hundred eighteen patients were 70-82 years old (older group), 308 patients were 24-69 years old (younger group). The perioperative risk factors, surgical complication and outcomes between the two groups were compared.Results The older group had higher incidences of post-operative complications than younger group.Pre-operative risk factors included the female, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, peripheral vessel disease, New york heart association(NYHA) class Ⅳ, unstable angina requiring intravenous nitrates until arrival in the anaesthetic room, left ventricular ejection fraction ＜30%. The older group showed higher incidences of postoperative severe complication, operative mortality, and more grafts and longer time in intensive care unit (ICU), and had lower incidents of valve disease and less use of left internal mammary artery [16 patients (13. 6%) vs. 152 patients (49.4%), all P＜0. 05].Conclusions The many CABG risk factors in China are different from those in the western countries.Although the higher incidents of postoperative severe complication and higher operative mortality are found in the older patients, the recovery period after operation isn't obviously prolonged. The operative outcomes are satisfactory.
