After VX2 carcinoma replanted IL-2, IL-8 were low but IL-6, TNF, IGF, CA-50 were high. After being treated one, three or four weeks, IL-2, IL-8 were getting lower and lower but there was significant difference between teletherapy's group with other group in IL-2 and IL-8(P

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in digestive tract. Theory of tumor stem cells (TSCs) offers a new approach to understand the development mechanism of colorectal cancer. OBJECTIVE: To review the progress in the existence, origin and identification of colorectal cancer stem cells (Co-CSCs). RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: Pubmed was undertaken to identify relevant articles published from January 1990 to July 2007 with the of "colorectal cancer,stem cell,tumor stem cells" in English.At the same time, Vip database was undertaken to identify the relevant articles published between January 1990 and July 2007 with the key words of "colorectal cancer, stem cell, tumor stem cells" in Chinese. The data were selected primarily, and then quotations of each article were checked. Inclusive criterion: the articles related to the advances of the existence, origin and identification of Co-CSCs were selected. Exclusive criterion: the articles with repetitive research were excluded. Totally 63 relevant articles were selected and 33 of them met the inclusive criterion. The 30 excluded articles were of old or repetitive content. LITERATURE EVALUATION: Of the 33 inclusive articles, 28 were on the existence and origin of Co-CSCs, 4 were about the isolation and identification of Co-CSCs, and 1 was about the problems and prospect. DATA SYNTHESIS: TSCs is a rare population of cells in tumor tissues with infinitely proliferative and self-renewal potential that drive the formation and growth of tumors. It may become a new target to eradicate malignant tumor. TSCs have been discovered in leukemia and some solid tumors. Intestine stem cells are poorly differentiated. Its phenotype is difficult to identify. There are many reports on the quantity, location, origin, function and relation with intestinal disease. Co-CSCs have been isolated and identified as EpCAMhigh/CD44+ cells recently, which accelerate to understand the mechanism of colorectal cancer. CONCLUSION: The discovery of Co-CSCs is one of the advances in researching of malignant tumor. TSCs may become a new target to eradicate malignant tumor, and brings hope to cure it.

Objective To evaluate the role of hippocampal histone acetylation in isoflurane-induced amnestic effect in mice.Methods Fifty-four male C57BL/6J mice,aged 8 weeks,weighing 18-22 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =18 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),isoflurane group (group ISO) and histone deacetylase inhibitor sodium butyrate group (group SB).Group C inhaled 35％ oxygen for 30 ain,and ISO and SB groups inhaled the mixture of 35 ％ oxygen and 0.4％ isoflurane for 30 min,and then the animals underwent contextual fear conditioning training.After the end of training,normal saline 6 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected in C and ISO groups,while in group SB,sodium butyrate 1.2 g/kg was intraperitoneally injected.One hour after the end of training,3 mice were sacrificed randomly in each group and their hippocampi were immediately removed for determination of the expression of acetylated histone-H3 (Ac-H3) and Ac-H4 by Western blot.Twenty-four hours after the end of training,contextual fear conditioning test and open field test were conducted.The freezing time,total distance and time of staying at the central zone were recorded.Results Compared with group C,Ac-H3 and Ac-H4 expression was significantly down-regulated,and the percentage of freezing time during testing was decreased in group ISO (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group ISO,Ac-H3 and Ac-H4 expression was significantly up-regulated,and the percentage of freezing time during testing was increased in group SB (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the percentage of freezing time during training,total distance and time of staying in the central zone among the 3 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Hippocampal histone acetylation is involved in the regulation of isoflurane-induced amnestic effect in mice.

Objective Looking into the causes of self-regeneration obstacle of the wild Phellodendron amurense population in order to provide the reference for the sutdy of the germination mechanism. MethodsThe germination and seedling growth were observed by taking cabbage, wheat, and P. amurense as the tested objects and the sarcocarp and seed of P. amurense were extracted by alcohol and ethyl ether. Results The extract in sarcocarp and seed of P. amurense could decrease the germination rate of cabbage, wheat, and P. amurense seed, also inhibit the seedling growth in different levels. The inhibitory effect was getting stronger and stronger following the concentration increased. The ethyl ether extract showed the best inhibitory effect, while the water extract had no significant effect. The embryo, emdosperm, and cotyledon of P. amurense were extracted by distilled water, and among them the cotyledon had the strongest inhibition. Conclusion There are some substances with the better inhibitory effect in the sarcocarp and seed of P. amurense, which can inhibit the growth of itself and other plants significantly. The substance with the inhibitory effect exits mainly in cotyledon.

Methods Totally 298 caregivers of elderly stroke patients were investigated with Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ). The patients were investigated with Modified Barthel Index (MBI). Results The caregivers′burden was in the mild level with a total score of 35.21±11.45. The influencing factors were the number of days of care, daily caring hours, hospital anxiety and depression score, the coping style and the ability of patients to perform ADL. Conclusions The primary caregivers of stroke patients have mild burden. The nurses should be synchronized to assess the health of patients and primary caregivers at the same time, understand the caregivers′burden, and provide specific care advice, in order to reduce the burden of their carer, so as to improve the quality of patients′life.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,diagnosis and differential diagnosis of myxoid synovial sarcoma (MSS).Methods Clinicopathological changes and immunophenotype were retrospectively evaluated in two MSS cases collected from Fujian Provincial Hospital,conbined with genetic mutation analysis.The relevant literatures were reviewed to explore its clinical and pathological features of this tumor.Restilts The two cases,one man and one woman,aged 71 and 15years,respectively.Tumor was located in the left down abdomen in case 1,and left frontal temporal lobe in case 2.Histopathologically,at low magnification in case 1,the tumor was nodular,which was made up of areas of hypercellularity and hypocellularity.In some areas of hypocellularity,the tumor cells were arranged in fascicular,story-form,sheet arrangements with mucoid degeneration.In hypercellularity area,the tumor cells were arranged in fascicular,fish bone-liked arrangenents.At low magnification in case 2,the tumor was nodular,which was made up of areas of hypercellularity and hypocellularity.In hypocellularity area,the tumor cells were arranged in net-like,sheet arrangements,and fascicular,sheet arrangements in case 2.In some area,the tumor cells were epithelioid with cluster distribution,without infringing brain tissue.Immunohistochemically,the tumor cells were diffusely positive for BCL-2,vimentin,and α-SMA and EMA were partially positive,while CD34,CD57,S-100,CD117,PLAP were negative.However,in case 2,only BCL-2 was positive,and MyoD1,GFAP,Olig-2,EMA,Syn,CD99,CgA,S-100,Myogenin,STAT6,CD34,desmin and α-SMA were negative.Molecular detection SYT-SSX fusion gene was detected in both cases.Conclusion MSS is a rare malignancy of soft tissue.The diagnosis of MSS depends on molecular pathology.The clinical and pathological findings are different from mucinous fibrosarcoma and solitary fibrous tumor.The treatment is surgical resection,combined with radiotherapy,with poor prognosis.

Based on the performance management theories and methods, the factors affecting clini-cal teachers' teaching motivation were analyzed in domestic university affiliated hospitals. In consideration of the functional position of university affiliated hospitals and the responsibilities of clinical teachers, the Delphi, KPI and other methods were used to identify key index and respective weight of teaching perfor-mance evaluation, therefore the teaching performance evaluation system including teaching load, teaching quality and teaching capacity in three dimensions were constructed. Then this index system was applied to a university affiliated hospital as an example to verify its feasibility, scientificity and effectiveness. Further-more, the evaluation system was embedded to information platform of educational administration manage-ment, and was proved as a useful teaching performance information management tool that provided reference for hospital performance payment distribution, title evaluation and recommendation, and teaching awards evaluation at all levels, etc. Consequently, theoretical and methodological references were provided for improving clinical teachers' teaching enthusiasm.

AIM:To investigate the change of short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) expression during cardiomyocyte apoptosis and to explore the relationship between SCAD and cardiomyocyte apoptosis .METHODS: The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes treated by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) were used as the model of cardiomyocyte apoptosis . The cell viability , the expression of SCAD at mRNA and protein levels , the activity of SCAD and the content of free fatty acids were determined .RESULTS:The mRNA and protein expression of SCAD decreased in the cardiomyocyte apoptosis model.Compared with negative control group , SCAD expression and activity were both significantly decreased in siRNA-1186 group, but the content of free fatty acids were obviously increased in the cardiomyocytes .Meanwhile, SCAD siRNA treatment triggered the same apoptosis as cardiomyocytes treated with tBHP .CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of SCAD may play an important role in primary cardiomyocyte apoptosis .Increase in the expression of SCAD may become an impor-tant part in intervening cardiomyocyte apoptosis .

[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToinvestigatethedifferenteffectsofERK1/2/PPARα/SCAD(short-chainacyl-CoAdehy-drogenase) signal pathways on the cardiac hypertrophy induced by insulin-like growth factors 1 ( IGF-1) or phenylephrine ( PE) .METHODS:The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes induced by IGF-1 were used as the model of physiological cardiac hypertrophy , and those induced by PE were used as the model of pathological cardiac hypertrophy .The surface area of the cardiomyocytes, the expression of p-ERK1/2, PPARαand SCAD, the activity of SCAD and the content of free fatty acid in the cardiomyocytes were measured .RESULTS:Compared with the control cells , the surface area of the cardiomyocytes in-duced by IGF-1 and PE were both increased .Compared with the controls , the expression of SCAD and PPARα, and the activity of SCAD in the cardiomyocytes induced by IGF-1 were increased , while the expression of p-ERK1/2 was de-creased.However, the cardiomyocytes treated with PE showed decreased expression of SCAD and PPARα, decreased activ-ity of SCAD and increased expression of p-ERK1/2.Meanwhile, the decrease in free fatty acid in IGF-1-induced cardio-myocytes and the increase in PE-induced cardiomyocytes indicated that the fatty acid utilization was increased in the cardio -myocytes induced by IGF-1, but decreased in the cardiomyocytes induced by PE .CONCLUSION: The changes of p-ERK1/2, PPARαand SCAD in the cardiac hypertrophy induced by IGF-1 or PE indicate that the effects of ERK 1/2/PPARα/SCAD signal pathways are different between physiological cardiac hypertrophy and pathological cardiac hypertro -phy , and that SCAD may be a molecular marker of these 2 different cardiac hypertrophies and a potential therapeutic target for pathological cardiac hypertrophy .
