OBJECTIVETo investigate the tumor suppression efficacy of histone deacetylase inhibitor, phenylbutyrate (PB), in combination with DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) in the treatment of Kasumi-1 xenograft tumor in nude mice and its mechanism.

METHODSThe nude mice model of Kasumi-1 xenograft tumor was established by subcutaneous inoculation. Latency of tumor formation, the ability of Kasumi-1 cells pre treated with PB to form the xenograft tumor, and the tumor suppression activity of PB and 5-Aza-CdR by intraperitoneal injection in xenografted mice model were detected. Cell differentiation and cell cycle parameters of the tumor cells were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis, apoptosis by TUNEL in situ hybridization, and tumor microvessel density (MVD) by immunohistochemistry study.

RESULTSThe latency of tumor formation in mice with or without previous lienectomy was 17 approximately 23 and 40 approximately 50 days, respectively. Tumor cells xenografted could not be found in other tissues than in inoculation area, and still harbored the specific t(8;21) and AML1-ETO fusion gene. When the xenografted mice models treated with PB, 5-Aza-CdR, or both, the tumor growth inhibition rates were 49.07%, 25.69% and 87.46% (P < 0.05), the apoptosis indexes (AI) of tumor cells were (2.25 +/- 0.85)%, (1.32 +/- 0.68)%, and (5.41 +/- 1.56)% (P < 0.05), and the microvessel densities (MVD) were 21.69 +/- 6.25, 28.34 +/- 4.24 and 9.48 +/- 3.21 (P < 0.01), respectively. All the data above were significantly different from that in control (P < 0.05). The expression of CD11b and CD13 antigen of the tumor cells was increased in xenografted mice model treated with PB when compared with the control \[(12.08 +/- 1.02)% and (54.91 +/- 2.72)%\], respectively (P < 0.01), and tumor cells showed a cell cycle arrest with increased G(0)/G(1)-phase cells and decreased S-phase cells.

CONCLUSIONPB inhibited the growth of Kasumi-1 xenograft tumor by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and differentiation, and suppressing its angiogenesis in vivo. 5-Aza-CdR could significantly enhance the antitumor activity of PB.

U251 cell is a sensitive cell line to serum, which stops at G0 phase of cell cycle in no-serum medium, and recovers growth when the serum is added into no-serum medium. The cell can express corresponding proteins in different phase of cell cycle. Therefore it is very signification for the study of cell cycle regulation mechanism that explores these proteins. In this paper, the mouse antibody phage display library was added into the bottle in which the serum starvation U251 cells had been cultured, and the special antibody phages were absorbed. Then the absorbed antibody phages were amplified by adding E. coli TG1 and helper phage M13K07. Amplified antibody phages were added into bottle in which the serum cultured cell after serum starvation (follow named as serum recovered cells) were incubated, so that the cell absorbed the no-special antibody phages for the serum starvation cell and the special antibody phages were in supernatant. The remaining no-special antibody phages in the supernatant were discarded by repeating above program 3-4 times. The pure special antibody phages were gotten, and amplified by adding the host cell E. coli TG1 and helper phage M13K07. Then the host bacterium infected special antibody phage was spread on the plate medium with ampicillin, and the monoclonal antibody phages were gotten. Using same as above program, the monoclonal antibody phages absorbed specially for serum recovered U251 cells were obtained when the serum recovered cells instead of serum starvation cells and serum starvation cells instead of serum recovered cells. In this study, ninety-six positive monoclonal antibody phages that absorbed specially the serum starvation cells and eighty-two positive monoclonal antibody phages that absorbed specially the serum recovered cells were obtained. By using cell immunochemistry assay, two special signification antibodies were obtained. one (No.11) was the strong response in serum starvation cells, the other (No.2) was the strong response in serum recovered cells. The antibody No.2 had the distinctive response to the serum recovered cells in different incubation time (15min, 30min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h and 48h) after serum starvation. The results showed that No.2 antibody would be useful to research the factors of cell cycle regulation and apply to tumor diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo review the results for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (AVR) through a 5 cm right anterolateral thoracotomy.

METHODSFrom July 2009 to September 2011, 101 consecutive patients with isolated aortic valve disease (degenerative in 37 patients, rheumatic in 21 patients, congenital in 37 patients, endocarditic in 3 patients and aorta-arteritis in 1 patients) underwent AVR through the right anterolateral thoracotomy approach in the third intercostal space with a groin incision for femoral connection of cardiopulmonary bypass. The mean age was 45.7 years (ranging from 17 to 71 years). Sixty patients were male.

RESULTSOperations were successfully performed in all but 1 patient (1.0%) who required intraoperative conversion to full sternotomy. Mean duration of cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamp time was (88 ± 24) minutes and (55 ± 18) minutes, respectively. Thirty-day mortality was 1.0% (1/101), this patient was found difficult in weaning off cardiopulmonary bypass and exhibited severe coronary artery plaque, although bypass graft was carried out immediately, the patient died of severe low cardiac output syndrome finally. No blood products were needed in 83.2% patients. Follow-up was performed in all patients at an average of (16 ± 7) months postoperatively. A good recovery was obtained in all patients except one who died of multiple organ failure caused by massive cerebral infarction 38 days after surgery.

CONCLUSIONSMinimally invasive aortic valve replacement though the right anterolateral thoracotomy approach is safe and feasible, with good cosmetic results and rapid postoperative recovery. It is worthy of clinical elective application.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis and introduce the clinical experience in the prevention of complications.

METHODSThe clinic data of 588 cases of palmar hyperhidrosis who underwent bilateral sympathectomy from January 2003 and March 2007 was analyzed retrospectively. The curative results were compared between the T(2) levels denervation group (group A) and the T(2) levels remained denervation group (group B).

RESULTSAll operations were successfully performed under thoracoscope without severe morbidity and mortality. The curative rate of palmar hyperhidrosis was 99.8%. Accompanied axillary sweating and plantar sweating were improved in 84.0% and 71.0% patients respectively. All the patients were evaluated by a follow-up for 1 to 48 months with an average time of (20.3 +/- 2.3) months on the aspects of curative effect and occurrence of compensatory sweating. During one week after surgery, the transient postoperative hand sweating recurred in 10 cases and then disappeared within 1 to 3 days. Two cases experienced gustatory hyperhidrosis. One case experienced hand sweating at 8 th month postoperative. Side-effect of compensatory sweating were observed in 28.0 percent of group A and 13.4 percent of group B (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSVideo-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy is an effective, safe and minimally invasive method for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. The method of T(2) levels remained denervation appears associated with less compensatory sweating.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feeding behavior of infants and young children aged from 6 to 24-month-old in Chengdu by feeding index.

METHODS608 infants and young children were randomly selected from Chengdu and divided into 6-, 9-, 12 - 24 month-old groups. Data including basic information, breastfeeding, and complementary feeding were collected through questionnaire. The feeding status of subjects was evaluated by feeding index system (the total score was 19) established by infant feeding principle of WHO.

RESULTSThe total feeding index score (FIS) of 608 subjects was 11.0 ± 2.4. The FIS of 6-(192), in 9-(174) and 12 - 24 month-old (242) groups were 9.6 ± 2.8, 11.1 ± 2.1, 11.9 ± 1.6, respectively. The FIS was increased with month of children (F = 61.311, P < 0.05). The ratios above 60% (the score of 11.4) and 80% (the score of 15.2) of FIS were 46.4% (282/608) and 0.7% (4/608) respectively. The ratios above 60% of FIS were 26.5% (51/192), 45.4% (79/174), 66.9% (162/242) in 6-, 9-, 12 - 24 month-old groups respectively. The percentages of bottle feeding and breastfeeding were 94.2% (573/608) and 25.2% (153/608) respectively.45.1% (274/608) of them were fed by recommended feeding frequency, and 73.0% (444/608) were given enough types of food. With the month-old increasing, the foods of higher intake frequency were vegetables/fruits, cereals, milk and diary product, eggs. The intake frequency of meat was higher in 9 to 24 month-old group, but intake frequency of fish and beans was low in all groups.

CONCLUSIONThe feeding behavior of infants and young children in Chengdu is not optimistic, especially for the lower month infants.
