BACKGROUND: Previous researches indicate that ADp14ARF transfecting positive tumor cell line of p53 can inhibit the proliferation; in addition, the inhibitory effect is superior to transfection negative tumor cell line of p53. Whether simultaneous transfection of p14ARF and p53 genes can increase expression and accumulation of p53 and accelerate apoptosis of tumor cells needs further studies.OBJECTIVE: To construct double plasmid expression vector plRES-p14ARF-p53 by using gene engineering so as to observe the inhibitory effect on proliferation of osteogenic sarcoma cells.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Public Laboratory Platform, Immune Researching Room, Basic Medical College, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2005 to October 2006. Human osteogenic sarcoma MG-63 cells were provided by Cell Laboratory, Immune Researching Room, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. plRES-p53 plasmid and plRES vector containing p53total-length gene order were provided by Wuhan Jingsai Biology Company.METHODS: Based on gene engineering, p14DNA (0.5 kb) was amplified from cultured L02 cells of normal human hepatic cells into plRES vector. Recombinant plasmid plRES-p14ARF-p53 was determined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme and transfected into human osteogenic sarcoma MG-63 cells through mediation of liposome to screen positive clones. Otherwise, cells were divided into three groups, including blank control group (MG-63cells), blank vector control group (stably transfecting plRES-neo cells) and p14ARF-p53 group (stably transfecting plRES-p14ARF-p53 cells). ① DNA content and cycle of tumor cells were measured by using flow cytometry before and after transfection. ② Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect quantitative and semi-quantitative expression of p53 and p14ARF protein in tumor cells after stable transfection. ③Thiazole blue chromatometry and growth curve were used to observe proliferation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① DNA content and cycle of osteogenic sarcoma cells; ② expressions of p53 and p14ARF protein in tumor cells; ③ proliferation.RESULTS: Double plasmid expression vector plRES-p14ARF-p53 was constructed successfully. ① DNA content and cycle of osteogenic sarcoma cells: Flow cytometry demonstrated that tumor cells mainly stayed in G1 phase after transfection. ② Protein expression: RT-PCR and Western blot indicated that p14ARF and p53 gene independently expressed in target cell mRNA and protein, respectively. ③ Cell growth: At 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after MG-63 transfection, inhibitory rates of tumor cells were 33.43%, 69.37%, 66.19% and 75.26%, respectively, which was significant difference as compared with blank vector control group (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Wild p53 and p14ARF can synergistically inhibit the proliferation and accelerate the apoptosis of osteogenic sarcoma cells.

Objective To investigate the incidence of diabetes mellitus and risk factors for the disease in chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients.Methods A historical cohort study on subjects with painful CP who were admitted to hospital from Jan.1997 to July 2007 were conducted.A life-table method was used to estimate the cumulative probability of the development of diabetes mellitus once clinical onset of abdominal pain.Cox proportional-hazards model was used for multivariate analysis of the variables including age,sex,drinking and smoking habits,etiological factor,presence of pancreatic masses,pancreatic calcifications,measure of intervention,diarrhea,weight loss and degree of pain.Results Data were obtained from 354 patients (239 males,mean age at onset of pain (38.1±17.6) years;alcoholic origin 18.1%) with painful CP.The mean follow-up period was (45.2±32.9)months.The rate of diabetes mellitus in CP patients was 16.1%.There was a high incidence (29.8%)of diabetes mellitus 1 year before the episodes of abdominal pain.The cumulative risk of diabetes mellitus in subjects 5 and 10 years after the episodes of pain was 9.3% and 20.7%,respectively.Cox proportional-hazards model selected smoking (＞10 pack years) (hazard rate (HR)= 3.3),mild abdominal pain (HR=5.2),weight loss (HR = 2.6) and pancreatic calcifications (HR = 2.2) as variables identifying subjects with diabetes mellitus in patients with painful CP before they were performed therapeutic endoscopy or surgical intervention.Smoking (＞10 pack years) (HR = 3.0),weight loss (HR= 2.8) and distal pancreatectomy (HR =7.3) were identified with an increased risk of diabetes mellitus in these cases after they received therapeutic endoscopy or surgical intervention.Conclusion The risk factors of diabetes mellitus for CP appears to be independent of smoking (＞10 pack years),mild abdominal pain,weight loss,pancreatic calcifications and distal pancreatectomy.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the femoral head trabecular heterogeneity in Chinese male patients with osteoporotic fracture and their effects on osteoporotie fracture.Methods Human femoral heads were obtained from 11 male osteoporotie fracture (OP) patients ranged from 51 to 82 years old [average age (65±9 ) years old], and 7 male trauma ( TM ) patients ranged from 46 to 75 years old [average age (61±11 ) years old] who underwent total hip arthroplasty within two hours after either osteoporotic or trauma hip fracture.The OP was defined as having a fragility fracture.After laying femoral head as living body position and locating mark, nine trabecular specimens were obtained from femoral heads, each of 6 mm × 6 mm× 7 mm.The cortical shell was not included in each specimen.One cube was selected as the primary compressive trabecular region and the other 8 specimens as non-primary compressive trabecular region.These cubes were scanned using high-resolution microcomputed tomography scanner (μCT).After scanning, the data of total cubes, primary compressive trabecular region and noncompressive trabecular region were used for analysis by t test.Results In OP group volumetric bone mineral deosity(vBMD) [( 182.15±66.00) mg/mm3 vs (223.97±70.92) mg/mm3, t =3.041], tissue bone mineral density (tBMD) [(538.76±64.72) mg/mm3 vs (580.01±63.86 ) mg/mm3, t = 3.160],bone volume fraction (TV/BV) [(0.22 ± 0.06) % vs (0.26 ± 0.07 ) %, t = 2.821], trabecular thickness (Tb.Th.) [( 161.07 ±42.75 ) μm vs ( 205.47 ± 74.44 ) μm, t = 3.233] were significantly decreased while bone surface/bone volume ( BS/BV ) [( 13.75 ± 2.55 ) mm-1 vs ( 12.28 ± 2.70 ) mm-1, t =-2.777] was significantly increased in the non-primary compressive trabecular region than that in the primary compressive trabecular region ( P < 0.05 ).vBMD [( 182.15 ± 66.00) mg/mm3 vs ( 248.05 ±105.48) mg/mm3, t = - 3.598], tBMD [(538.76 ± 64.72) mg/mm3 vs ( 570.54 ± 100.32) mg/mm3,t=-2.108],TV/BV [(0.22±0.06) % vs (0.28±0.12) %, t= -3.466], Tb.Th.[(161.07±42.75) μm vs (200.31 ±96.63) μm, t= -2.866], trabecular number (Tb.N.)[(1.46±0.23)/mm3 vs ( 1.57 ± 0.29)/mm3, t = - 2.396] were significantly decreased while trabecular separation ( Tb.Sp.) [(780.82 ± 144.85 )μm vs ( 653.09 ± 119.64) μm, t = 5.470], degree of anisotropy (DA) ( 1.57±0.20 vs 1.47±0.18, t = 2.930 ) were significantly increased in OP than in TM in the non-compressive trabecular region( P < 0.05 ).No significant differents were found between OP and TM for any of the parameters measured in the primary compressive trabecular region.Tb.Th.[(199.37±68.22)μm vs (176.33 ±71.21 )μm, t = 2.060,P < 0.05] were significantly increased in the primary compressive trabecular region than that in the non-primary compressive trabecular region and no significant differences were found in the other parameters in the all 18 specimens.Conclusions The femoral head trabeculae had a heterogenic distribution in OP.Bone loss in OP primarily takes place in non-compressive trabecular region.Femoral neck fracture cannot be prevented though the bone microstructure do not loss in the primary compressive trabecular region.Tb.Th.in the femoral head could be an interesting parameter which is closely related to the femoral neck fracture.

Objective To investigate the relationship between absent or hypoplastic fetal nasal bone and chromosome abnormalities.Methods From January 2010 to April 2014,187 fetuses were found to have absent or hypoplastic nasal bone by prenatal ultrasound scanning in Guangzhou Maternal and Children's Hospital.All the pregnant women should undergo interventional prenatal diagnosis for fetal chromosome abnormalities,and should be followed up for three months after the expected delivery date.The correlation between absent or hypoplastic fetal nasal bone and chromosome abnormalities,and the effects of complicating structural defects were analyzed by descriptive analysis and the Chi-square test.Results Of the 187 pregnant women,126 underwent interventional prenatal diagnostic tests,and fetal chromosome abnormalities were detected in 36 cases (28.6％),including 26 cases (20.6％) of trisomy 21,6 cases (4.8％) of trisomy 18,three cases (2.4％) of trisomy 13 and one sex chromosome chimerism.In the 126 cases received prenatal diagnosis,the incidence of chromosome abnormalities in fetuses without other structural defects was significantly lower than that with structural defects [12.7％ (8/63) vs 44.4％ (28/63),x2=15.556,P=0.000].Among 63 cases without other structural defects,seven fetuses were confirmed to have chromosome abnormalities in 14 women with high risk by Down syndrome screening,no chromosome abnormalities were found in 39 pregnant women with low risk by Down syndrome screening,and one sex chromosome chimerism was found in the other ten women who did not undergo Down syndrome screening.Absent or hypoplastic nasal bone detected in the first trimester resulted in a higher risk of chromosome abnormalities than that detected in the second and the third trimester [25.5％ (28/110) vs 10.4％ (8/77),x2=6.613,P=0.007].Conclusions When a fetus is found to have absent or hypoplastic nasal bone,it is necessary to perform Down syndrome screening and a detailed morphology scan.Women shown to have fetuses with absent or hypoplastic nasal bone with other structural defects or high risk by Down syndrome screening should undergo prenatal diagnostic tests to exclude fetal chromosome abnormalities.

The study is aimed to make the most of available space of Dendrobium officinale cultivation facility, reveal the yield and functional components variation of stereoscopic cultivated D. officinale, and improve quality, yield and efficiency. The agronomic traits and yield variation of stereoscopic cultivated D. officinale were studied by operating field experiment. The content of polysaccharide and extractum were determined by using phenol-sulfuric acid method and 2010 edition of "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" Appendix X A. The results showed that the land utilization of stereoscopic cultivated D. officinale increased 2.74 times, the stems, leaves and their total fresh or dry weight in unit area of stereoscopic cultivated D. officinale were all heavier than those of the ground cultivated ones. There was no significant difference in polysaccharide content between stereoscopic cultivation and ground cultivation. But the extractum content and total content of polysaccharide and extractum were significantly higher than those of the ground cultivated ones. In additional, the polysaccharide content and total content of polysaccharide and extractum from the top two levels of stereoscopic culture matrix were significantly higher than that of the ones from the other levels and ground cultivation. Steroscopic cultivation can effectively improves the utilization of space and yield, while the total content of polysaccharides and extractum were significantly higher than that of the ground cultivated ones. The significant difference in Dendrobium polysaccharides among the plants from different height of stereo- scopic culture matrix may be associated with light factor.
