BACKGROUND: Olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation is a better theray for spinal cord injury, and it becomes one of the most promising treatment methods. Local transplantation is applied currently, with the disadvantages of complex operation, large trauma, repeated transplantation. Looking for a simple and effective way for cell transplantation becomes a hotspot for scholars from various countries.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect and possibility of transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells for treatment of spinal cord injury.METHODS: Wistar rats with T 10 spinal cord hemisecti on were divided into 4 groups: intramedullary local transplantation group (A),vein transplantation group (B), D/F12 transplantation group (C) and control group (D). The functional recovery of rats with spinal cord injury was observed with combined behavioral score at different phases. The tissue sections of each group were made at 5 and 10 weeks postoperatively to observe the axon regeneration and the survival of olfactory ensheathing cells.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The experiment showed that the rats transplanted with OECs at injured site and through the vein had more improvement in functional recovery and histological changes than the other two groups. The effect between A group and B group had not significant difference. The method of treating spinal cord injury by transplanting OECs via the vein not only simplifies the operation and avoids many complications but also has good curative effect similar to local transplantation.

BACKGROUND: A proper preservation method would be of important significance for experiments and clinical application ofolfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) OBJECTIVE: To explore proper cyropreservative systems for OECs.METHODS: OECs during the logarithmic growth phase were harvested, cryopreserved for 1, 3 and 6 months and then revitalized.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: MTT assay and tryplan blue staining showed that cells exhibited highest viability after treatmentwith 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES), followed by 10% DMSO, and lastly the 5% DMSO. Use ofrefrigerator or cryogenic control system with different cryopreservation time did not yield obvious effects on viability of OECs.Therefore, 5% DMSO-6%HES is recommended as a cryopreservative agent for OECs.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2024;26(3):478-480
Viruses are closely related to the occurrence of human diseases, and the infection of some viruses will lead to the occurrence and development of tumors, such as EB virus, hepatitis B virus, HPV virus, etc. On the contrary, some viruses can also be used for the treatment of tumors, such as oncolytic viruses. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate and mortality rate in the world. In recent years, the relationship between virus and lung cancer has attracted more and more attention. Therefore, this article will review the mechanism and therapeutic impact of viruses on lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the effect of cancer nodules on postoperative liver metastasis in patients undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 196 patients undergoing radical operation for colorectal cancer admitted to the Dongnan Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological results, they were divided into cancer nodule group and non-cancer nodule group. Time and the number of liver metastasis during the follow-up period were analyzed. The relationship between cancer nodules and clinicopathological features was analyzed, and the influencing factors of postoperative liver metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed by univariate and logistic multivaiate analysis. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive effect of cancer nodule diameter on postoperative liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.Results:There were 50 patients accompanied by cancer nodules in 196 patients with colorectal cancer, the incidence rate was 25.5%, the diameter of cancer nodules was 0.4-1.8 cm, the median diameter was 1.0 cm, and there were 46 patients with liver metastasis, the incidence rate was 23.5%. There were statistically significant differences in carbohydrate antigen CA19-9 ( χ2=7.55, P=0.006), maximum tumor diameter ( χ2=12.23, P<0.001), T stage ( χ2=15.79, P<0.001), vascular thrombus ( χ2=12.79, P<0.001), lymph node metastasis ( χ2=16.18, P<0.001) between the cancer nodule group and the non-cancer nodule group. Univariate analysis showed that CA19-9 ( χ2=7.40, P=0.007), maximum tumor diameter ( χ2=8.23, P=0.004), T stage ( χ2=4.58, P=0.032), vascular cancer thrombus ( χ2=12.97, P<0.001), lymph node metastasis ( χ2=3.96, P=0.047), cancer nodules ( χ2=67.60, P<0.001), cancer nodule diameter ( t=4.28, P<0.001), and the number of cancer nodules ( χ2=68.77, P<0.001) were all influential factors for postoperative liver metastasis in colorectal cancer patients. Multivariate analysis showed that stage T 3-4 ( OR=4.62, 95% CI: 1.51-7.35, P=0.003), vascular cancer thrombus ( OR=5.42, 95% CI: 1.75-12.85, P<0.001), accompanied by cancer nodules ( OR=18.54, 95% CI: 7.45-39.73, P<0.001), the diameter of cancer nodules ( OR=13.20, 95% CI: 4.74-29.64, P<0.001), number of nodules [one cancer nodule ( OR=9.11, 95% CI: 2.24-27.34, P<0.001), two cancer nodules ( OR=6.36, 95% CI: 1.38-9.08, P<0.001) and three cancer nodules ( OR=5.00, 95% CI: 1.98-8.84, P<0.001) ] were independent influencing factors for postoperative liver metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer. ROC curve analysis showed that the best threshold of the diameter of cancer nodules for predicting liver metastasis was 1.1 cm [area under the curve (AUC) =0.764, 95% CI: 0.632-0.896, P=0.002). The incidence of liver metastasis in patients with cancer nodules diameter≥1.1 cm was 95.65% (22/23), higher than that in patients with cancer nodules diameter<1.1 cm (40.74%, 11/27), with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=16.69, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Patients with colorectal cancer with cancer nodules≥1.1 cm in diameter should be vigilant against postoperative liver metastasis.
