China Oncology 2017;27(6):451-458
Due to the limited efficacy of traditional therapies, the risk of death in patients with advanced thyroid cancer remains high. In recent years, targeted chemotherapy has shown prospective effects on inhibiting the growth of thyroid cancer and prolonging progression-free survival in these patients, but also brings some clinical confusion. Consequently, this paper reviewed the application status and clinical problems of targeted chemotherapy in thyroid cancer. In addition, treatment strategies of thyroid cancer and the future perspectives were also presented.

Gas chromatography with mass spectrum detector ( GC-MSD) coupled with purge-and-trap system was set up to analyze the concentration of isoprene in natural waters. The best experimental conditions were established, including purge gas flow rate ( 50 mL/min ) , purge time ( 15 min ) , the optimum capillary column ( Rt-Alumina BOND/KCl) and the appropriate condition of temperature programming. When analyzing isoprene in natural waters, the precision was <4% (n=6), the detection limit was 0. 5 pmol/L and the recovery was 91%-102%. The preservative experiment showed that there was no obvious variation in sample concentrations of isoprene within 60 days. The concentrations of isoprene measured with the method ranged from 60 . 8 to 278 . 7 pmol/L in the Jiaozhou Bay and its adjacent river estuaries and from 44 . 7 to 77 . 2 pmol/L in Yellow River estuary, which was in good accord with those results reported in literatures in other coastal waters. In conclusion, the analytical method could meet the requirements of the analysis of concentration of isoprene in natural waters.

Objective To examine the gene expression profile of SRY-type high-mobility-group box-9(SOX9) during entochondrostosis of mice and investigate the effects of transfection of the pDC316-SOX-9 on mice mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) in vitro. Methods cDNA microarray technique with 34 000 genes was used to analyze the gene expression profiles during entochondrostosis in the limbs of mice embryo from E10 to E14. Pathway analysis of SOX9 was performed with GCOS1.2 software. The recombined expression vector pDC316-SOX-9 was constructed and transfected into mice MSCs by lipofectamine. The phenotype changes of cells were observed with cell energometry, HE stain, immunohistochemical method, RT-PCR and ELISA.Results The gene expression of SOX9 during the critical phase of chondrogenesis in mice embryo limbs at E12 was increased evidently. SOX9 might promot chondrogenesis. As compared with vector and blank group,the chondrocytes of the SOX9 transfected group had the tendency of enhanced differentiation. Conclusion SOX9 may promote chondrogenesis. The transfection of SOX9 gene into mice MSCs can promot MSCs differentiate into chondrocyte, which may provide some experimental data for cartilage histoengineering.
