Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2011;17(4):260-262
Objective To explore immediate implanting breast reconstruction after subcutaneous mastectomy by through breast lateral curved incision with combined muscle flap of pedicled latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscle covering the breast prosthesis. Methods 30 patients were selected in clinical stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ , and without involvement of skin and pectoral muscle. After subcutaneous mastectomy through breast lateral curved incision, by the same incision the latissimus dorsi muscle flap was removed and transferred, and the submuscular interspace was dissected, and the inferior border of the pectoralis major muscle was cut off. The pedicled latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscle flap were sutured and the combined muscle flap was formed to cover the breast prothesis.Results The shape and feeling were satisfactory in 30 reconstructive breasts, and 22 cases were excellent (73.3 %), and 8 cases were good (26.7 %). All the patients survived without tumor recurrence after following-up more than half a year. Conclusions The method has advantages of good cosmetic breast shape, without appendant incision, and larger breast prosthesis could be insertted. It is a good method of immediate breast reconstruction for the young women with early stage breast cancer without axillary lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To improve the forming process of Jingning particle according to the influencing factors in its effectiveness, such as low yield, high moisture absorption and difficult dissolubility during oral administration. Methods:A new technology that im-mediate granulation after the extract was well mixed with lactose and dextrin and dried. The appearance, dissolubility, hygroscopicity and pellet formation rate ( granularity) were compared between the new technology and the old one, and the difference in critical rela-tive humidity was also studied. Results:The appearance, dissolubility and pellet formation rate of the new technology were all better than those of the old one, and the moisture absorption rate was reduced with the critical relative humidity up to 70%(25℃), which enhanced the granule stability. Conclusion:The pellet formation rate is improved by the new technology, which effectively solves the problems such as high moisture absorption and poor dissolubility, and the granule quality is improved.

Objective To quantitatively analyze brucellar spondylitis, tuberculous spondylitis and spinal metastatic tumors by dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI, and to evaluate the quantitative DCE-MRI in the differential diagnosis of brucellar spondylitis, tuberculous spondylitis and spinal metastatic tumors. Methods This was a retrospective study including 30 patients with brucellar spondylitis, 30 with tuberculous spondylitis, and 30 with spinal metastatic tumors. The clinical and demographic data were collected. All patients received routine MRI and DCE-MRI examinations. Volume transfer constant(Ktrans), rate constant(Kep), extravascular extracellular volume fraction(Ve) and plasma volume fraction(Vp) of diseased vertebral bodies of the patients with brucellar spondylitis, tuberculous spondylitis and spinal metastatic tumors were measured on perfusion parameter maps. All indexes showed non-normal distribution. Differences of all indexes were compared and analyzed statistically with rank-sum test among the above diseases. Results For brucellosis spondylitis, spinal tuberculosis, and vertebrae metastasis, the values of Ktrans were(0.716 ± 0.017),(0.316 ± 0.004),(0.986 ± 0.012)min-1, the values of Kep were(1.326 ± 0.018), (0.747 ± 0.005),(2.899 ± 0.054)min-1, the values of Ve were 0.541 ± 0.011, 0.427 ± 0.017, 0.338 ± 0.007 and the values of Vp were 0.034 ± 0.003, 0.029 ± 0.003, 0.049 ± 0.007.

Aim To investigate the inhibitory effect of schizandrin B( SchB) on ultraviolet radiation b ( UVB) radiation-induced apoptosis of HaCaT cells. Methods Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT ) assay was used to examine the effect of SchB on cell viability recovery. Cell apoptosis and necrosis were measured by Ho-chest33342 staining. The p53, p21 and Caspase-3 mRNA expressions were examined by RT-PCR. Results In this study, we found that Sch B attenuated UVB-in-duced toxicity in HaCaT cells. Through Hoechst 33342 stain, we visualized that SchB could inhibit UVB-in-duced HaCaT cell death. The result demonstrated that p53 , p21 and Caspase-3 mRNA levels decreased com-pared with the control group. Conclusions Sch B at-tenuates the UVB-induced toxicity of HaCaT by inhibi-ting apoptotic gene expression. It plays a role in anti-photoaging.

Objective To study the relationship of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ receptor(IGF-ⅠR)and carcinogenesis of gastric cancer.Methods The expression of IGF-ⅠR was detected in 40 cases of resected gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal gastric mucosa by immunohistochemistry.The expression of IGF-ⅠR in gastric cancer cell lines(MGC803 and SGC7901)was detected by Western Blot.siRNAs targeted to IGF-ⅠR were designed,synthesized and transfected into MGC803 cells,the changes of IGF-IR protein level were detected by Western Blot at 48 h after transfection,the cell proliferation was examined by MTT,and then the growth curve was obtained.Results The positive rate of IGF-IR expression in gastric cancer tissues was 75.5%,significantly higher than that of adjacent normal tissues (25%,P<0.01).The expression level of IGF-IR was related with TNM stage,lymphnode metastasis (P<0.05),but not related with sex,age,histological differentiation,invasion depth of gastric cancer (P>0.05).Intense expression of IGF-ⅠR was showed in gastric cancer cell lines.The inhibition ratio of IGF-ⅠR expression in sigNAl group were 89.80%±4.10%,the cell proliferation decreased to mininlunl level at the fifth day aftertransfection(by 29.0%±4.0%of mock-treated group),the cell number decreased by 21.15%±1.10%of mock treated group at the same time.Conclusions IGF-ⅠR is over-expressed in gastric cancer cells and can be effectively silenced by RNA interferes,therefore the growth of tmnor cell Was inhibited.Thus,it indicates that IGF-ⅠR may be a promising target for gene therapy of gastric cancer.

Aim To investigate the effects of leptin on ?1(Ⅰ) collagen mRNA expression and protein production, and the roles of Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators transcription(JAK/STAT) signaling transduction pathway in increased ?1(Ⅰ) collagen mRNA expression stimulated by leptin in activated hepatic stellate cells(HSCs).Methods Firstly, ?1(Ⅰ) collagen mRNA expression and protein production as well as JAK1 and STAT3 phosphorylation induced by leptin at different doses in a human HSC cell line, LX-2 were determined by RT-PCR, ELISA, and Western-blot.Secondly, the effects of JAK1 inhibitor AG490 on JAK1 phosphorylation and ?1(Ⅰ) collagen mRNA expression stimulated by leptin were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR. Thirdly, the roles of AG490 and transfection with STAT3 antisense oligonucleotide(STAT3-ASON) in STAT3 phosphorylation after leptin were detected by Western blot. Finally, the effect of transfection with STAT3-ASON on ?1(Ⅰ) collagen mRNA expression after leptin was measured by RT-PCR.Results Leptin increased ?1(Ⅰ) collagen mRNA expression and protein production in a dose-dependent manner in LX-2, reaching a maximal level at 80 ?g?L-1 leptin. In addition, phosphorylation of JAK1 and STAT3 after leptin exhibited a time-dependent effect. Besides, JAK1 inhibitor AG490 completely blocked JAK1 and STAT3 phosphorylation and increased in ?1(Ⅰ) collagen gene expression after leptin in LX-2. Transfection with STAT3-ASON blocked STAT3 phosphorylation and increased ?1(Ⅰ) collagen mRNA by leptin in LX-2.Conclusion Leptin had a direct action on liver fibrogenesis by stimulating ?1(Ⅰ) collagen mRNA expression and protein production in activated HSC, and JAK/STAT signaling transduction pathway was involved in the process. JAK1 inhibitor AG490 and transfection with STAT3-ASON blocked the transduction pathway effectively in LX-2. Leptin may be an important factor in the development of hepatic fibrosis. Activated JAK1 and STAT3 signaling in human HSC line provided a novel molecular target for therapeutic intervention of liver fibrosis.
