AIM To study the therapeutic effect of bone marrow transplantation on mustard gas-poisoned mice. METHODS Mustard-poisoned mice model was constructed by injected mustard gas 20 mg·kg~(-1) subcutaneously. At 4 h, 1 d and 2 d after poisoned by mustard gas, the suspended bone marrow cells (106 cells per time) were injected into mice respectively. After poisoned 3, 5, 7 and 10 d, the numbers of leukocyte and marrow nucleated cells were recorded periodically. At the same time, after poisoned 4 h and 1 d by mustard gas, mice in another group were injected granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) 74 μg·kg~(-1) combined with transplantation and changes of the cell number were observed. RESULTS Compared with poisoned group without transplantion, leukocyte number in bone marrow transplanted group presented ascending trend, but there was no statistical significance until the 10 d after poisoned. However, the number of marrow nucleated cell increased significantly from the 5th day. After mice injected bone marrow cells combined with G-CSF, leukocyte increased markedly in earlier stage compared with transplantation only. CONCLUTION The bone marrow transplantation has significant effects on improvement of marrow hematogenic system inhibited by mustard gas.

Pathological types of gastric cancer in stage Ⅲ C include T4a-SEN3,T4b-SIN2,T4b-SIN3.Celiac artery metastatic lymphadenopathy fused into blocks,usually from bottom to top.Limited operation space revealed anatomical and pathological factors,the dissection of the celiac artery lymph nodes,processing the left gastric artery root difficulty.Application of novel celiac artery lymph nodes dissection path,avoiding the limitation of the celiac artery lymph node dissection space exposure factors,so that the dissection of the celiac artery lymph nodes is more complete,processing the left gastric artery root easily,reduce the amount of bleeding,shorten operation time,increase the average lymph node dissection and the Ⅲ C gastric cancer resection rate.

Objective To investigate the expression of CD44V6 in thyroid neoplasms and its significance. Methods The expression of CD44V6 in paraffin-embeded thyoid carcinoma tissue from 100 patients (50 with lymph node metastasis,50 without) and 20 patients with thyroid adenoma was measured by immunohistochemistry staining. Results Positive expression of CD44V6 in the group of thyoid carcinoma was 72%, significantly higher than the group of thyroid adenoma.Positive expression of CD44V6 in the group of thyoid carcinoma with lymph node involvement was 90%,significantly higher than the group of thyoid carcinoma without lymph node involvement.In patients with different pathological grade,different clinical stage and different survival time, the positive expression of CD44V6 was significantly different. Conclusions The results suggest that CD44V6 can be regarded as an valuable molecular markers to distinguish benign thyroid tumor from malignant tumor, to predict lymph node metastasis and prognosis.
