1.CCL21/CCR7 axis and mechanisms of tumor invasion and metastasis
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(2):96-99
Secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (CCL21) is a double-edged sword, which exerts antitumor, anti-infection immune response by binding to the receptor CCR7 on the surface of the multiple immune cells. However, a variety of tumor cells also express the receptor CCR7, the combination of CCL21 with CCR7promotes the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, leading to the facilitation of tumor development. Therefore,exploring the mechanism(s) of tumor invasion and metastasis might be helpful for use of CCL21 as tumor gene therapy through blocking of CCL21's promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis.

Objective To explore expression of Beclin1, autophagy-related protein 1 (Atg1), mammalian target of ra-pamycin (mTOR) in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma of lung and to analyse relationship among these three factors. Methods Immunohistochemical stainning was applied to detect expression of Beclin1, Atg1 and mTOR in 82 samples of SCC and adenocarcinoma of lung (lung cancer group) and 17 samples of paraneoplastic normal lung tissues (con-trol group). Correlations of expression of Beclin1, Atg1 and mTOR were analyzed in SCC and adenocarcinoma of lung. Re-sults The expression of Beclin1 was significantly lower in lung cancer group than that in control group(52.44%vs 94.12%, P<0.01). There were significant differences of the differentiation, TNM stages and lymph node metastasis in lung cancer group compared with those in control group. And Beclin1 expression showed a decreasing trend with malignant and invasive of tumors. mTOR expression in lung cancer tissue with lymph nod metastasis is higher than that in the tissue without lymph node metastasis(P<0.01). Atg1 expression in lung cancer tissue with larger mass is less than that in lung cancer tissue with small lumps(P<0.01). Beclin1 Expression was positively correlated with the Atg1 expression in SCC(r=0.609,P<0.01). Beclin1 and Atg1 expressions were both negatively correlated with mTOR expression in SCC(r=-0.617,-0.444,P<0.01). Beclin1 expression was positively correlated with Atg1 expression in adenocarcinoma(r=0.458,P<0.01). Beclin1 and Atg1 expression were both negatively correlated with mTOR expression in adenocarcinoma(r=-0.497,-0.541,P<0.01). Conclu-sion Beclin1, Atg1 and mTOR expression showed a strong correlation in lung cancer, and clinicopathological change of lung SCC and adenocarcinoma may be related to autophagy.

BACKGROUND:Basic fibroblast growth factor is a pluripotent cytokine that can promote the proliferation of mesodermal and neuroectodermal cells.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor in human periodontal ligament cells cultured in vitro.
METHODS:Human periodontal ligament cells at passage 5 were inoculated into the 96-wel plates at the density of 1×108/L, and were randomly divided into four groups. The cells were cultured inα-MEM containing 15%fetal bovine serum and 0, 1, 10, 100μg/L basic fibroblast growth factor, respectively. At 1, 3, 5, 7 days of the culture, the cellproliferation was determined, and the activity of alkaline phosphates was detected at 1 and 7 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were significant differences in the proliferation of human periodontal ligament cells among the four groups (F=6.586, P=0.024). As the increase of the basic fibroblast growth factor concentrations, the absorbance value was gradual y increased and reached the peak in 100μg/L basic fibroblast growth factor group (P<0.05). The alkaline phosphatase activity in basic fibroblast growth factor groups was lower than that of the control group (P=0.000), the higher the concentration was, the lower activity was (P<0.05). Results show that basic fibroblast growth factor can promote the proliferation of human periodontal ligament cells and inhibit the activity of alkaline phosphatase, and the effect is concentration-dependent.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLN) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods:Sentinel lymph node biopsy was evaluated following two or three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with pharmorubicin /cyclophosphamide/5-FU(CEF,48 patients) or pharmorubicin /cyclophosphamide / taxotere(CET,12 patients).Two ml 1% methylene blue was subcutaneously injected at 4 sites of the skin over the tumor before radical operation.Pathohistological results were assessed for all the specimen including blue lymph node and other axillary lymph node(ALND). Results:Among the 66 patients SLN was identified in 60 of them(90%).Residual metastatic disease was identified in 23 cases on SLN,including 15 positive and 8 negative node on ALND,37 cases were completely negative on SLN including 35 negative and 2 positive node on ALND,and SLN was falsely negative in 2 cases(8%).Conclusion:The success rate of sentinel node identification and the predict ability of the SLN for the pathologic status of the adjacent non-SLNs do not seem to be altered after neoadjuvant therapy.

Objective To explore the effect of preservation of inclined fractured permanent molars by transverse fixation with screw post,and provide a practical method for reserving the inclined fractured permanent molars.Methods Clinical data of 50 patients with inclined fractured permanent molars by transverse fixation with screw post in the Department of Stomatology of Tianjin First Central Hospital between January 2010 to December 2011 were reviewed retrospectively.After fixing the crown with steel-wire binding and root canal treatment,the molars were drilled a hole buccolingually and placed screw post.The flowable light-curing composite resin was used to seal the crack and bond screw post to prevent the relative movement.All treated molars were restored with full crown.All patients were followed up for 10-60 months.The therapeutic effects were observed.Results After 5 year-follow-up,41 cases were cured completely,6 cases were cured clinically,and 3 cases failed treatment.Conclusion The transverse fixation with screw post and bonding technique can preserve the inclined fractured molars to gain chewing function and avoid or reduce the extraction of affected teeth,which provides a better restoration effect.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of 1.5T MR multiple sequence for atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD).Methods To collect the data of MRI and transthoracic echocardiography(TTE)of 46 patients with ASD/VSD,Among them,12 patients had surgical treatment,27 patientsDSA treatment and 7 patients no surgery or DSA treatment. The biggest defect diameter was recorded which measured by TSE,GRE,PC-MR and TTE,and the main deformity,valvular regurgitation, atrioventricular enlargement,cardiac function,maximum aperture of ASD/VSD were recorded which were confirmed by surgery.Al-so,myocardial delayed reinforcement was recorded.Results Multiple sequence check of MRI found different number of defects in 39 patients(7 patients without surgery or treatment removed );the largest defect aperture of ASD/VSD measured by TSE、GRE、PC-MR had no statistically significant(P >0.05)with TTE measurements,they had good correlation with TTE (r=0.86,0.94,0.99) (P >0.05),and PC-MR had the highest consistency with TTE.The measured results of GRE,TTE,surgical in 14 ventricular sep-tal defects of 12 cases had no statistically significant(P >0.05).the largest defect aperture between myocardial delayed reinforce-ment and not delayed reinforcement had statistically significant in 41 cases of ASD(P <0.05).MRI had more advantage in the right heart enlargement and right heart function than TTE,the differences between the two had statistically significant(P <0.05).And MRI could find intracardiac deformity and outside the heart malformation in ASD/VSD,especially outside the heart malformation. Conclusion 1.5T MR multiple sequence inspection have high diagnostic value for ASD/VSD,which can display ASD/VSD clearly, measure the defect aperture accurately,find merged deformity accurately,and can also show myocardial delayed reinforcement and judge heart function.
