BACKGROUND:With the in-depth study of cancer stem cels, increasing evidence has shown that cancer stem cels are the reason for cancer metastasis and recurrence, and therefore it is of great significance to isolate and identify cancer stem cels that can elucidate the pathogenesis of cancer and development of anticancer drugs.
OBJECTIVE: To isolate and culture gastric cancer stem cels and then to detect its biological characteristics.
METHODS: Cancer tissues from 16 patients with gastric cancer were cultured using adherent method and enzymic digestion methods to isolate gastric cancer stem cels. The cel morphology was observed under inverted microscope to drawn out growth curves. Osteogenic and adipogenic ability of cels were also detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Gastric cancer stem cels were isolated successfuly by both two methods. Under the microscope, the cels were fusiform- or polygon-shaped. At confluence, the cels grew in a vortex or radial manner. The cel growth curve showed that 1-3 days were latent period, 4-9 days were logarithmic growth phase, and over 10 days were growth plateau phase. Flow cytometry results showed that passage 3 gastric cancer stem cels highly expressed CD90, CD29, CD44, but lowly expressed CD34, CD45 and HLA-DR. After osteogenic induction, calcified nodules were clearly visible in the gastric cancer stem cels at passage 3; after adipogenic induction, bright and tiny fat droplets were seen in the cytoplasm. These findings indicate that cancer stem cels exist in the gastric cancer tissues, and have similar morphology, biological property and multipotent differentiation ability to normal cels, which are probably involved in gastric cancer occurrence and development.

Bilateral vasovasostomy was performed on 14 male rabbits which received a vasectomy 12 months ago. After 3 months, the rabbits were mated with female rabbits in a course of two months in order to observe the restoration of fertility. They were divided into vasovasostomy fertility group(VFG)and vasovasostomy infertility group(VIG), 7 rabbits, each according to their fertility. 8 rabbits that received a vasectomy only were designated as vasectomy group(VG), and 9 as sham-operation group(SOG), both (VG & SG) served as control. The results showed, (1)the value of sperm density in VFG was significantly lower than that in SOG, but markedly higher than that in VIG(P

AIM:To analyze the 34 cases of patients with diagnosis of lacrimal duct disease, to explore the cause and clinical characteristics of lacrimal duct inflammation, and to study the common misdiagnosis to improve the diagnosis rate, to provide clinical experience for medical workers.
METHODS: A total of 34 eyes of 34 patients were selected from 2011-06 to 2015-06 to our hospital for lacrimal duct incision. Clinical data of patients including age and gender distribution, eye and lesion location, duration, canaliculitis clinical symptoms and previous misdiagnosis were collected. The operation of lacrimal duct was carried out, and the secretion of lacrimal secretion was checked.
RESULTS:Patients over the age of 40 accounted for 77%of the population, men accounted for 23. 5%, women accounted for 76. 5%. Left eye in 15 cases, right eye in 19 cases, and were monocular onset, 26 cases ( 76%) of patients with lower lacrimal duct inflammation. Clinical symptoms: increased secretion, canthal conjunctival congestion, swelling, lesion location around the lacrimal puncta swelling and tenderness, slightly raised, epiphora, foreign body sensation. The culture results Showed 34 cases of discharge inspection. A total of 20 cases were fungal growth, 6 cases of bacterial growth rate were 59%, 18%, and 8 cases were not detected, 10 cases of lacrimal duct stone were found by pathological examination. There were 3 cases of Aspergillus, 5 cases of Candida, 2 cases of actinomycetes, 4 cases found in Gram staining microscope. Misdiagnosis of canaliculitis for other eye diseases, including 12 cases of chronic dacryocystitis, 8 cases of chronic conjunctivitis, 6 cases of acute conjunctivitis, stye in 4 cases, the misdiagnosis rate reached 88%.
CONCLUSION:In the middle and old aged people, the lacrimal duct is more than that of the male. The main pathogenic bacteria causing lacrimal duct infection may be fungi, which can be treated with anti-fungal drugs. For the removal of the lacrimal duct stone, we should distinguish the types of pathogenic bacteria for the treatment of the disease. In the case of misdiagnosis, the clinical manifestations of different clinical manifestations from the lacrimal duct infection and other diseases of the eye should be carefully examined and carefully treated.

To study the underlying mechanism of vasovasotomy infertility, we set up the rabbit model and observed the levels of testosterone, IL-1 activity and TNFα, which represent the functions of monocytes and macrophages on the animal model of vasovasostomy, and probed into the in vitro effect of IL-1β on the production of testosterone by Leydig cells. Rabbit model was set up and divided into vasovasostomy fertility group (VFG) and vasovasostomy infertility group (VIG), and set up peer group of Vasectomy group (VG) and sham operation group (SOG) as controls. The results were as follows: The sperm density and total number is highest in SOG, with that in VFG markedly lower than that in SOG, but significantly higher than that in VIG. 　　1. VFG showed significant higher level of testosterone (Ts) than SOG, VG and VIG; Ts of VIG was significantly lower than SOG or VFG. In the vasovasostomy groups, sperm density is positively correlated to the level of testosterone. 　　2. The level of serum cortisol in VIG significantly higher than that in VFG, SOG, and VG. The level of serum cortisol negatively correlated to serum testosterone. 3. Serum estradiol(E2) was similar among all the groups (P＞0.05). E2/T ratio is significantly different among the groups, with that in VIG highest and that in VFG lowest. 4. Serum IL-1 activity in VIG was significantly higher than that in SOG and VFG(P＜0.05). 　　5. Serum TNFα and serum IL-1 activity share similar change, with TNFα in VG significantly higher than that in SOG(P＜0.01), VIG was the highest among the four groups(P＜0.01). Correlation test showed that serum IL-1 activity and TNFα level was negatively correlated to testosterone level; positively correlated to cortisol level and E2/T ratio. 6. Immuno-histo-chemistry of CD68 and TNFα in rabbits with vasovasostomy showed that in the testis tissue of SOG, interstitial tissue was normal with no filtration of inflammation cells including CD68 cells. In VFG and VIG, the tubules with resumed sperm production showed negative staining, and atrophic tubules and their surroundings were expression positive of CD68, with that markedly deeper in VIG than that in VFG. TNFα positive expressed granules was found only in atrophic convolted seminiferous tubules and their surroundings, with that deeper in VIG than that in VFG. 7. Culture Leydig cells were put in the following holes:(1) Control; (2) hCG; (3) IL-1; (4)IL-1 β+hCG; (5) IL-1 β+IL-1Ra; and (6) hCG+IL-1β+IL-1Ra. Determined the levels of testosterone by immuno-radiation technique. (1) IL-1 β showed no obvious effect on the Leydig cultured in vitro, but depressed the induction of Leydig cells by hCG to synthesize testosterone; (2) IL-1Ra blocked the depression of IL-1β Leydig cells' bio-synthesis of testosterone induced by hCG. In summary, one of the obvious changes in animals with vasovasotomy is low density of sperms, which is related to the lowering of testosterone. Low level of testosterone is related to the activation of monocytes and macrophages to produce IL-1 and TNFα, which negatively regulate the production of testosterone.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the intracellular calcium ion concentration ([ Ca2+ ]i) in isolated rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs).Methods The single rabbit TSMC was isolated by acute enzymatic isolation method as described by Cheng et al.The isolated TSMCs were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =5 each):propofol group (group Ⅰ ),propofol + 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB) group (group Ⅱ ) and propofol + the blocker ryanodine group (group Ⅲ).In group Ⅰ,the cells were incubated with propofol with the final concentration of 300 μmol/L for 15 min,followed by washing with calcium-free Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) for 3 times,acetylcholine 1 μmol/L was then added to the culture medium and [ Ca2+ ]i was recorded.In group Ⅱ,the cells were incubated with 2-APB with the final concentration of 40 μmol/L for 15 min,propofol with the final concentration of 300 μmol/L was then added,the cells were incubated with 2-APB and propofol for another 15 min,followed bywashing with calcium-free HBSS for 3 times,and acetylcholine 1 μmol/L was then added.In group Ⅲ,the cells were incubated with ryanodine with the final concentration of 10 μmol/L for 15 min,propofol with the final concentration of 300 μmol/L was then added,the cells were incubated with ryanodine and propofol for another 15 min,followed by washing with calcium-free HBSS for 3 times,and acetylcholine 1 μmol/L was then added.[ Ca2+ ]i in TSMCs was measured using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fluor-3/AM.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,no significant change was found in [Ca2+ ]i in group Ⅱ (P＞0.05),while [Ca2+ ]i was significantly decreased in group Ⅲ (P＜0.05).Conclusion Propofol can decrease the [Ca2+ ]i in isolated rabbit TSMCs,and the mechanism may be related to inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate pathway,but not ryanodine pathway.

The gamma-cyclodextrin-folate (gamma-CD/FA) inclusion-coated CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) with folate-receptor (FR) targeted were synthesized by simple and convenient sonochemical method. The products were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), utraviolet-visible spectrometry (UV-vis), fluorescence spectrum and transmission electron micrographs (TEM). The results showed that the gamma-CD/FA-coated CdSe/ZnS QDs not only have good monodispersity and smaller size, but also have good optical performance, such as higher quantum yield (QY) and a long fluorescence lifetime. The cytotoxicity experiments showed that the gamma-CD/FA-coated CdSe/ZnS QDs have lower cytotoxicity and could more effectively enter cancer cells with FR over-expression. The QDs with 4-5 nm in diameter were relatively easy to enter the cell and to be removed through kidneys, so it is more suitable for biomedical applications for bioprobes and bioimaging.
