1.Research advances on colon cancer stem cells
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(3):179-182
Colon cancer stem cells(Co-CSCs)are a small fraction of subgroup cells,which show the capabilities of self-renewal,proliferation and differentiation in colon cancer.Co-CSCs are tumorgenic,and they play an important role in the genesis development and metastasis of tumor.These studies of Co-CSCs may help developing effective targets and novel strategies for clinical tumor therapy.
2.Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Obesity
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(19):-
Epidemiological and animal studies have demonstrated that dietary lower intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) and(or) higher intake of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids(n-6 PUFAs) leading to imbalance of their ratios are closely related to obesity.The mechanisms underlied are involved in PUFA′s effects on fatty acid synthesis and oxidation,adipocyte proliferation and differentiation and leptin expression.At transcription level,PUFAs can regulate the activities of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and CCAAT enhancer bin-ding proteins.

Objective To assess the accuracy of ultrasonographic measurement of gastric fluid volume in predicting the occurrence of nausea and vomiting during and after emergency cesarean section.Methods Seventyseven ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients aged 18-35 yr weighing 66-87 kg undergoing emergency cesarean section were divided into 3 groups according to the preoperative gastric fluid volume:group A ≤ 0.4 ml/kg (n =21); group B 0.4-0.8ml/kg (n =34) and group C > 0.8 ml/kg (n =22).Gastric fluid volume was calculated by Bouvet regression equation,based on antral area of the stomach measured with M-Turbo ultrasonography system (Somo Site Co.USA).Cesarean section was performed under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia with 0.4% ropivacaine.BP,HR and SpO2 were measured and recorded after entering the operating room,at skin incision and at the end of operation.The occurrence of nausea and vomiting was recorded during operation and within 1 h after operation.Results There was no significant difference in hemodynamic variables among the 3 groups.The incidence of nausea was comparable among the 3 groups:33% in group A,35% in group B and 46% in group C,while the incidence of vomiting was significantly higher in group C (46%) than in group A (10%) and group B (15%).Conclusion The incidence of vomiting is significantly higher during and within 1 h after emergency cesarean section in patients with preoperative gastric fluid volume > 0.8 ml/kg,but the incidence of nausea is not related to preoperative gastric fluid volume.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the optimum preoperative fasting time and in tervals between eating and trauma in pediatric patients undergoing emergency orthopedic surgery by measuring the gastric antral cross-sectional area (CSA) using ultrasound.Methods Fifty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ pediatric patients,aged 2-7 yr,weighing 10-25 kg,undergoing elective orthopedic surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =25 each) using a random number table:6-h fast group (group CA) and 8-h fast group (group CB).Seventy-five ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ pediatric patients,aged 2-7 yr,weighing 10-25 kg,undergoing the emergency orthopedic surgery,were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the interval between eating and trauma:interval ≤ 1 h group (TA group,n =22),1 h < interval ≤ 4 h group (TB group,n =26) and interval > 4 h group (TC group,n =27).CSA was measured at 6 h after the last eating (T1) in group CA,8 h after the last eating (T2) in group CB and T1 and T2 in TA,TB and TC groups.Results There was no significant difference in CSA between group CA and group CB (P > 0.05).Compared with group CA,CSA was significantly enlarged in TA and TB groups (P < 0.05) and no significant change was found in group TC (P > 0.05).Compared with group CB,CSA was significantly enlarged in TA group (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found in TB and TC groups (P > 0.05).Compared with group TA,CSA was significantly decreased at T1 in TC group and T2 in TB and TC groups (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found at T1 in TB group (P > 0.05).Compared with group TB,CSA was significantly decreased at T1 (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found at T2 in TC group (P > 0.05).Compared with the CSA measured at T1,CSA was significantly decreased at T2 in TB group (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found at T2 in TA and TC groups (P >0.05).Conclusion For the pediatric patients undergoing emergency orthopedic surgery,when the interval between eating and trauma is within the period of 1-4 h,an 8-h preoperative fast is recommended; when the interval < 1 h,an 8-h preoperative fast is still not able to achieve the aim of fasting and measures should be taken to avoid regurgitation of gastric contents; when the interval > 4 h,the preoperative fasting time can be properly shortened to 6h.

Objective To investigate the relationship between mammary ductal hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma by detecting the expressions of Notch1 and Cyclin D1 in various histotypic mammary ductal diseases.Methods A total cases of 44 normal ductal tissues,44 usual ductal hyperplasias.40 atypical ductal hyperplasias,42 ductal carcinomas in situ and 51 invasive ductal carcinomas were included in this study.Expressions of Notch1 and Cyclin D1 were detected by S-P immunohistochemistry.Results There was significant difference of expression of Notch1 among the five subgroups of this study(P<0.01);there were significant differences between every two subgroups(P<0.05)except for normal ductal tissues versus usual ductal hyperplasias and ductal carcinomas in situ versus invasive ductal carcinomas(P>0.05).There was also significant difference of expression of CychnD1 amongthe five subgroups of this study(P<0.01),and there were significant difference between every two subgroups(P<0.05)except for normal ductal tissues versus usual ductal hyperplasias and normal ductal tissues versus atypical ductal hyperplasia(P>0.05).The correlation between Notch1 and Cyclin D1 was negative (r=-0.428,P<0.01).Conclusions There is a relationship between mammary ductal hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma.Decrease of Nowhl or increase of Cyclin D1 expressions may promote nmnmmry ductal hyperplasia advancing to manunary ductal carcinoma.

Chinese Journal of Radiology 2001;0(03):-
Objective To select a kind of stent with better property and spread its clinical application. Methods Three kinds of stents including “Z” type stainless steel stent(SSS), mesh Ni Ti alloy stent(AS), and gild stent(GS) were placed into dogs′ vena cava. Angiography was performed 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 6 months, and 9 months after stent placements (according to the grouping time), then the animals were sacrificed to get the veins with stents for histopathology examinations (including macro pathology, microscope and scanning electron microscope). Data of displacement rate, expand rate, patency rate of stents, patency rate of tributary veins, endothelial thickness, and course of endothelialization were acquired to indicate stent application property. Measurement data were analyzed by analysis of variance and q test. Enumeration data were analyzed by ? 2 test. Ranked data were analyzed by Ridit analysis. Results The displacement rates of SSS, AS, and GS were 13 3%, 13 3%, and 7 7%, respectively(? 2=0 281, P =0 869); The incomplete expanding rates of SSS, AS, and GS were 6 7%, 46 7%, and 0.0% respectively. There was statistical difference(? 2=12 194, P 0 05); The patency rates of SSS, AS, and GS were 93 3%, 66 7%, and 84 6%, respectively. There was no statistical difference among the rates(? 2 =3 649, P =0 161). Endothelialization reached about 100% 4 weeks after the stents placements. Desquamating of GS plating layer was found 4 weeks after stent placement, surface erosion of SSS wire and AS wire was not found in 9 months. Conclusion Z type stainless steel stent has better anticoagulative capability, anticorrosive capability, and biocompatibility, and it is now an ideal intravenous stent.
9.Transdifferentiation of epidermal stem cells into corneal epithelial cells in vitro
Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(07):-
Objective To explore the plasticity of transdifferentiation of epidermal stem cells (ESCs) into corneal epithelial cells. Methods Epidermal stem cells enriched by adhering to type Ⅳ collage were induced in vitro by coculture with corneal stromal fibroblasts. The method of HCC were used to show the expression of K12 which is expressed specially in corneal epithelial cells.Results ESCs with greater proliferation potential strongly expressed K19 and ?_ 1 - integrin. After two-week induction, the K12 positive cells could be detected. Conclusion The data suggested that the epidermal stem cells have the potential to transdifferentiate into corneal epithelial cells in vitro.
