Axillary reverse mapping (ARM) is anatomic theoretical foundation based on breast and upper limb lymph axillary lymph injected into different lymphatic populations, ARM can display upper limb lymphatic channels through different tracers during the periods of axillary lymph node dissection and sentinel lymph node dissection, to reduce the rate of postoperative upper extremity edem.Although ARM has a positive effect, it exists a controversy in safety and the relationship between its node and sentinel lymph node.

Type-2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC2 ) is a new member of the innate lymphoid cell family which has been recently discovered. These cell arise from lymphoid progenitors in the bone marrow and,under the control of the transcriptional regulators and Gata3,producing IL-5,IL-9 and IL-13 is a sign of the matura-tion. These cells are critical components of the innate immune response to parasitic worm infections and have al-so been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. This paper summarizes the role of ILC2 in the pathogenesis of asthma and its therapy research progress.

BACKGROUND:Studies have found that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, under certain conditions, can be induced to differentiate into neurons and glial cel s, which to some extent solves the problem of the source of seed cel s. Induction methods currently used are different, and their efficiencies are not the same.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of different antioxidants on differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s into neuron-like cel s in vitro.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from Wistar rats were divided into four groups:non-intervention group,β-mercaptoethanol group, retinoic acid group,β-mercaptoethanol+retinoic acid group. Changes in cel morphology and positive rate of neuron-specific enolase and microtubule-associated protein 2 were observed and detected at 5 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, and 10 days after induction.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Except non-intervention group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in the other three groups were gradual y becoming spindle-shaped, and gave birth to many smal protrusions that were interconnected into a network, showing neuron-like cel morphology. Immunocytochemical staining showed that the efficiency of theβ-mercaptoethanol+retinoic acid group was the highest at 10 days after induction, and the positive rates of neuron-specific enolase and microtubule-associated protein 2 were 71.63%and 79.72%, respectively. The results show thatβ-mercaptoethanol can be combined with retinoic acid to accelerate the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s into neuron-like cel s.

Side population cells (SPs) are selected by the efflux features of fluorescent dye Hoechst33342.SPs have the characteristics of cancer stem cells,and play an extremely important role in the occurrence and development of tumors.At present,the SPs in common types of malignant tumor have been studied extensively at home and abroad.The study of SPs may shed some light on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Pim-3,a new member of the the proto-oncogene pim family which expresses serine and threonine kinase activity,shows a high similar to pim-1 and pim-2 at the function,structure and sequence.Pim-3 plays an important regulative role in the cell cycle transform,cell apoptosis and occurrence of the malignant tumors by phosphorylating numerous specific substrates.

Objective: To elucidate the relationship between Notch3 expression and chemosensitivity of human colon carcinoma cell line SW620 to topotecan. Methods: Notch3 siRNA was transfected into SW620 cells, and the expression of Notch3 in SW620 cells was examined by Western blotting. After transfected with Notch3 siRNA for different time peri-ods, SW620 cells were further treated with topotecan, and the proliferation of SW620 cells was detected by MTT assay; the apoptosis of SW620 cells was detected by Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry. Caspase-3 activation in SW620 cells was examined by caspase-3 activation kit. Results: Notch3 siRNA transfection remarkably inhibited Notch3 protein expression in SW620 cells. The IC_(50) of topotecan in Notch3 siRNA-transfected group was significantly decreased compared with that in the Ctrl siRNA group (P <0.05). Silence of Notch3 expression in SW620 cells by Notch3 siRNA remarkably promoted apoptosis (P < 0.05) and caspase-3 activation (P < 0.05) of SW620 cells induced by topotecan. Conclusion: Notch3 down-regulation by siRNA in SW620 cells can enhance the chemosensitivity cells to topotecan.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is considered as a preleukemic course, characteristic of hypercellular marrow and pancytopenia. Many studies have demonstrated that defects occur in the heamtopoietic cells from patients with MDS. Recently, many abnormal changes in apoptosis, proliferation, ability of hematopoietic support, cytokine secretion, clonal origin of stromal cells and angiogenesis have also been revealed in the bone marrow microenvironment of MDS patients.

Objective:To study adenovirus mediated transfer of TGF ?1 in treatment of mice autoimmune myocarditis. Methods: Experimental autoimmune myocarditis was induced in BALB/c mice using purified myosin from porcine heart. TGF ?1 was transferred into mice by intravenous injection of adenovirus encoding TGF ?1. Plasma level of myosin autoantibody was detected by indirect ELISA method and plasma level of troponin I was assayed using fluorescence immune assay method. The protective effects of TGF ?1 were evaluated from 3 aspects: (1) the degree of infiltrative inflammatory cells in the heart; (2) the plasma level of myosin autoantibody; (3) the plasma level of troponin I. Results: TGF ?1 successfully ameliorated the myocarditis. Plasma level of troponin I and myosin autoantibody decreased significantly( P

Objective:To construct pEGFP-C1-Smad4 expression vector and to observe the influence of Smad4 over-expression on the proliferation of human gastric cancer SGC7901 cells and its relationship with nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B). Methods:Recombinant expression vector pEGFP-C1-Smad4 was constructed and was used to transfect human gastric cancer SGC7901 cells. EGFP expression in transfected cells was detected by fluoroscopy. Smad4 and NF-?B expression in transfectant was examined by Western blotting. Effect of Smad4 over-expression on activation of NF-?B and proliferation of transfected SGC7901 cells were examined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and MTT assay,respectively. Results:Expression of EGFP in transfected SGC7901 cells was observed under fluorescence microscope. Smad4 was over-expressed in transfected SGC7901 cells,accompanied by down-regulation of NF-?B p65 expression in the tranfectants. EMSA and MTT demonstrated that Smad4 over-expression significantly inhibited the activation of NF-?B and the proliferation of SGC7901 cells (P
