Background and purpose:We have already reported viral macrophage inflammatory protein-Ⅱcan induce surface chemokine receptor CXCR4 internalizated.Based on the diverse biological functions of SDF-1?/ CXCR4,this study was to investigate the effect of SDF-1?on invasion and metastasis of human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells.Methods:MCF-7 cell's ability of invasion,metastasis and anoikis were used as end points.The invasive ability was measured by the number of cells that were able to penetrate polycarbonates coated with matrigel.The metastastatic ability was analyzed by Transwell chamber.The anoikis ability was detected by FCM.Results:SDF- 1?+MCF-7 cells formed long and abundant pseudopodia,and only few filopodia were detectable in MCF-7 cells.It was shown that adhesive and metastasis capability of MCF-7 cells was enhanced with SDF-1?cocultured(P

Objective To investigate perinatal outcomes of twin pregnancy.Methods Perinatal outcomes of 658 pregnancies with twins hospitalized and born at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital during 2002 to 2005 were retrospective analyzed to compare the influence of type of twin,delivery mode, gestational week,birth time interval between twins,as well as specific complications of twin pregnancies on their outcomes.Results Pefinatal fatality of monzygous twins was 53.69 per thousand(16/298),higher than that of dizygous twins(27.11 per thousand,9/332),with U=2.35,P0.05.Perinatal fatality was higher in twins with different development (birth weight).Perinatal fatality in dizygous twins(12.5 percent,2/16)was lower than that in monozygous ones(14.3 percent,6/42),and that in twins with different development(birth weight)(0.6 percent, 2/316)was lower than that with same development(1.2 percent,3/256),with ?~2=16.944,P

Objective Recently,it was reported the analy sis of bone free radical by using electron spin resonance (ESR),so this article aimed to determine the changes of bone free radical in fluoresis rats.Methods To analyze the free radical level of bone in fluoresis rats fed with different dose of calcium by ESR method.Results The free radical of bone in the group of low ca lcium level and the group low calcium+fluorides was higher than that in the cont rol group (P<0.01),but that in normal animal feeds (calcium-rich)+fluoride group was lower than that in the control group.Conclusions Low doses of fluoride did not resulted in the increase of free radical in calcium-rich condition at short time,but at low calcium condition,fluoride could increase the level of free radical,these suggested that simple overdose of fluoride did not change the level of free radical of bone.

Objective To evaluate the effect of endemic disease prevention in Shaanxi province caused by earthquake and supply a scientific basis for making decision regarding restoration and reconstruction after the earthquake.Methods Forty different drinking water samples were collected respectively from Mianxian county and Chencang district the earthquakes'most severely hit areas in Shaanxi province with drinking-water-borne fluorosis.The contents of fluorine and arsenic in the water was detected by Fluoride ion-selective electrode and hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry,respectively.Two hundreds iodized salt and urine samples were collected from affected household women aged 18-45 in severely hit Ningqiang and Lveyang countie with iodine deficiency disorders.The contents of iodine in the salt was detected by semi-quantitative and of urinary iodine of household women was determined by AsⅢ-Ce4+ catalytic spectrophotometry.Two hundred children aged 7-12 were detected by clinical and X-ray examination from Ningqiang and Lveyang counties of Kashin-Beck disease prevailing areas.Hair and food samples from 20 children were collected.The contents of selenium were determined by 2,3-Diamino naphthalene fluorescence spectrophotometry and of T-2 toxin in the food was detected by ELISA.Results No incidents of serious hydrologieM or geological damage were found.Fluoride content in one of eighty water samples was beyond 1.5 mg/L,accounting for 1.25%;five samples were between 1.0 mg/L and 1.5 mg/L,accounting for 6.25%:the arsenic content of all samples were below 0.01 mg/L;all the salt samples from the home of household aged 18-45 were iodine salt,the median of urine iodine of household wonlen Was 303.03μg/L (21.40-1133.54 μg/L) and 325.21 μg/L(27.61 - 1191.46 μg,/L) in Ningqiang and Lveyang counties, respectively.No clinical and X-ray patients were found in the children aged 7 - 12, the average content of selenium in hair was (0.2638 ± 0.0875)mg/kg; the content of T-2 toxin in the forty food samples was below 100 μg/kg. Conclusions The prevention of the endemic disease in the four counties has been moderately affected by the earthquake, but the situation of endemic disease is stable and there is no evidence of the endemic disease.

Objective To explore the predicative value of transvaginal ultrasonography and 48 hours blood HCG ratio for ectopic pregnancy(EP).Methods A total of 90 patients in our hospital from June 2014 to May 2016 were selected as the object according to the pregnancy result and postoperative pathology (40 cases in EP group and 50 cases in control group).The endometrial thickness was measured through transvaginal ultrasonography while blood HCG was detected by chemiluminescence technique and 48 hours blood HCG ratio was calculated.To evaluate the individual and combined predicative value of endometrial thickness and 48 hours blood HCG ratio for EP,receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC) were generated and logistic regression analysis was conducted.Results The endometriam thickness and 48 h blood HCG ratio of EP group were (11.75 ± 3.42) mm and (1.06 ± 0.38) %,respectively,which were lower than (15.52 ± 3.98) mm and (1.46 ± 0.20)% of control group,the differences were statistically significant (P =0.000).The AUCs and their corresponding 95% confidential intervals(CI) were 0.77[95% CI(0.67,0.87)] and 0.82[95% CI(0.73,0.91)],respectively.Combined ROC analysis based on the 2 indexes revealed an elevated AUC of 0.89 [95% CI(0.83,0.95)],the differences were statistically significant(P =0.04).Conclusion The endometrial thickness and 48 hours blood HCG ratio can be acted as useful predicative biomarkers for detection of EP.A combination of the two indexes could be a useful predicative biomarker for future clinical trials with EP and may act as a suitable add-on biomarker to the panel of methods already existing for EP.
