ADAM9, a member of ADAM family, plays an important role in development of many human diseases especially neoplasms as its metaUoproteinases activity and the ability of combining with integrins. This might help us find new therapeutic targetpoints and therefore offer new therapeutic approaches.

Objective To study some biological properties of mouse bone marrow stromal cells(MSCs)and their ability to differentiate endothelial cells and surviving ability in ischemic tissue,and provide an experimental foundation for applying MSCs to ischemic repair.Methods After the tibias and femurs were dissected from 5-to 6-week-old mice from Jan.2005 to Nov.2005,the marrow was flushed out with ice-cold DMEM/F12 medium.The mononuclear cells of the marrow were obtained with density gradient centrifugation and the plated and cultured in DMEM/F12 medium.The cultured cells in vitro were induced with endothelial cell growth supplement.The ability of MSCs was also was examined in ischemic tissue.Results The adherent fibroblast-shaped cells approached confluence in single layer 12~16 d after plating.The cultured MSCs in vitro differentiated into endothelium.Numerous scattered DAPI-labeled cells were found in the specimen seven days after implantation,and hematoxylin and eosin staining of the adjacent section showed concordance between dense hematoxylin staining and presence of DAPI epifluorescence,and there was no obvious inflammatory response.Conclusion The subcultured MSCs possess potential to differentiate into endothelial cells.MSCs show stable growth in vitro,easy survival in the subculture and rapid proliferation in present culture condition.MSCs may be used in therapy for myocardium ischemia.

Objective:To observe influence of simvastatin on p 27 protein (cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor ) expres‐sions of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) and endothelial cells (EC) in rats for screening new generation coating drugs of eluting stents .Methods :Primary aortic SMC and EC of rat were isolated and cultured by methods of adher‐ent and enzymatic digestion respectively .Which were inoculated on fibronectin -coated culture plates .α smooth muscle actin immunofluorescence staining was used to identify SMC ,and von Willebrand factor (vWF) immunofluo‐rescence staining was used to identify EC .SMC and EC were cultured for 24h with different concentrations of simv‐astatin (0.01 ,0.1 ,1 and 10 μmol/L) ,then Western blot was used to measure p27 protein expression .Results:Compared with blank control group ,0.01μmol/L simvastatin had no significant influence on p 27 protein expression of SMC ,but 0.1 ,1 and 10 μmol/L simvastatin significantly raised p27 protein expression of SMC [ (0.53 ± 0.08) vs .(0.86 ± 0.05) ,(1.20 ± 0.05) ,(1.60 ± 0.04)] , P< 0.01 all .Besides ,different concentrations of simvastatin had no significant influence on p27 protein expression of EC , P> 0.05 ,indicating that simvastatin only dose‐de‐pendently promoted p27 protein expression of SMC .Conclusion:Simvastatin dose -dependently promotes p27 pro‐tein expression of vascular smooth muscle cells without affecting p 27 protein expression of endothelial cells .So local application of simvastatin may inhibit restenosis and promote reendothelialization of injured vessels .

The effect of dark tea fermentation liquid with Eurotium Cristatum on the activity of digestive enzyme was researched, as fellowing amylase, protease, lipase. The results showed that dark tea fermentation liquid with Eurotium Cristatum may increase remarkably the activity of ?-amylase and protease, but decrease efficiently the activity of lipase. The fermentation liquid improves the digestion and absorption of starch and protein, but inhibits the decomposition and absorption of fat, so it can explain the mechanism of Fu-brick tea's health functions.

AIM: To investigate the feasibility of reendothelialization of the injured arterial wall by autologous endothelial cell transplantation and their influences on neointima proliferation. METHODS: New Zealand white rabbits (n=30) were subjected to bilateral iliofemoral artery balloon injury. Cultured, autologous venous endothelial cells were immediately transplanted into one vessel(transplantation group), whereas the contralateral artery received medium only(control group). Reendothelialization of the injured arterial wall was analysed 4 hours or 4 days after cell transplantation by fluorescent tracing、scanning electron microscope(SEM) and Evans blue staining. Pathology analysis was employed 28 days after cell transplantation to evaluate neointima proliferation. RESULTS: The transplanted endothelial cells had adhered into the aterial wall 4 hours after transplantation and began to attach and spread 4 days later. A number of fluorescent labeling endothelial cells were observed in the endothelial injured arterial wall. The vessels in control group were stained nearly completely by Evans blue, whereas about 60% area was not stained in transplantation group. Pathological examination demostrated that neointimal area and maximal intima thickness in transplantation group significant decreased than those in control. CONCLUSION: Autologus endothelial cells were effectively transplanted into the injured arterial wall by balloon catheter, and it can relieve neointima proliferation in the long time.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) in different pathological grades.Methods The clinical data of 183 patients with rectal NENs who were admitted to the PLA General Hospital from January 2001 to April 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All the clinical and pathological data of the patients who received endoscopy and (or) surgical resection were retrieved from the work station and the database of the endoscopic center.Based on the 2010 WHO pathology classification of digestive tumors,the pathological data were ranked according to the mitotic count.The prognosis of the patients was learned by re-examination or phone call.The follow-up ended till July 2014 or at the death of patients.Data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results A total of 183 patients were enrolled in this study including 120 males and 63 females.The median age of the patients was 48 years (range,14-83 years).Seventy-four patients had the symptom of hemafecia,9 patients had abdominal pain and change in bowel habit,and 70 patients were diagnosed by body examination.Other symptoms included increased level of tumor markers and abdominal distension.Carcinoid syndrome was not detected in all the patients.Fourteen patients were complicated with polyp of intestine,5 with tubular adenoma,3 with colorectal adenocarcinoma and 1 with small cell lung cancer.The diameters of the tumor under 1 cm were detected in 162 patients,the diameters of the tumors ranged between 1 cm and 2 cm in 14 patients,and the diameters of the tumors above 2 cm in 7 patients.The mean distance between the tumor and the anus was (5-± 3)cm.Of the 183 patients,130 received endoscopic treatment,43 received surgical treatment and 10 received clamping because the tumor was misdiagnosed as polyps.There were 158 patients in grade1 (154 in stage Ⅰ,1 in stage Ⅱ,1 in stage Ⅲ and 2 in stage Ⅳ),21 in grade2 (13 in stage Ⅰ,3in stage Ⅱ,3 in stage Ⅲ and 2 in stage Ⅳ),4 in grade 3 (1 in stage Ⅰ,1 in stage Ⅲ and 2 in stage Ⅳ).Six patients had liver metastasis and 9 had lymph node metastasis.Fourteen patients died (4 in grade 1,6 in grade 2 and 4 in grade 3).The 5-year survival rate of patients was 92.35％ (169/183).There were significant differences in the gender,tumor diameter,tumor staging,lymph node metastasis distal metastasis and 5-year survival rate among patients with rectal NENs in different pathological grades (x2=60.949,71.587,32.135,55.486,56.512,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Rectal NENs lacks the specific clinical manifestation and is more likely to happen in males,and it often locates at the middle-lower rectum.Most of the rectal NENs belongs to stage Ⅰ and grade 1 and is less than 1 cm in size.The prognosis of patients with rectal NENs in different pathological grades is different.The 2010 WHO pathology classification of digestive tumors is useful to asses the prognosis of rectal NENs.Different grades of rectal NENs could be taken into account when designing the treatment plan.
