Objective To elucidate the clinical features and treatment of hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) in different parts of the body, especially in CNS. Methods Clinical data of 41 cases with HPC which were treated at 301 Hospital from 1993 to 2004 were retrospectively analyzed with a review of relevant literature. Follow-up periods ranged from 4 to 150 months after surgery (mean 34 months). Results Among 41 patients of HPC, 21 tumors (51.2%) were found in CNS, and the rest 20 (48.8%) in other systems. Thirteen tumors were diagnosed as malignant HPC. Surgery for tumor removal was performed in all 41 patients. Among the 62 operations, total removal of tumor was achieved in 49 cases and subtotal removal in 13 cases. Recurrence in original site of the tumor occurred 21 times (33.9%) in 14 patients. Five patients (12.1%) presented one or more distant metastasis, and 5 patients died. HPCs in CNS and in other systems displayed similar clinical characteristics and pathological morphology. Conclusions HPC is a rare angioneoplasm that may arise in any part of the body. It is a great challenge to neurosurgeons as well as other surgeons to surgically manage the tumor. HPC has an unfavorable prognosis because its high rate of recurrence and metastasis. HPC in CNS and in other parts of the body should be recognized as one disease. At the same time, HPC in CNS has its distinct features.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to establish women previously undergoing cesarean section again puerperal ways.Methods170 pregnant women who had previously undergone 1 or 2 cesarean section were studied. ResultsAmong the 170 cases, 93 cases were trial of labor. The success was 81 cases, the success rate was 87%. One patient with preuterine scar ruptured. There was no maternal death. When the repeat cesarean group was compared with the trial of labor group, in the blood loss and after delivery febrile morbidity were significantly higher in women with repeat cesarean (P＜0.05). The Apgar score of newborns was no difference (P＞0.05). ConelusionWe should control the indications for cesarean section. A trial of labor after previous cesarean is safe, less damage and can be rceommended in the majority of cases. All eligible women would allowed to deliver vaginally after previous cesarean.

Objective To prove the advantages of telemetry by comparing with the traditional methods in safety pharmacology.Methods To monitor continuously the heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and ECG of Beagle dogs by traditional and telemetry methods respectively, analyze and compare the changes between anesthetized and conscious dogs before and after feeding.Results Maintenance of anesthesia changed significantly the heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and QT interval in the ECG of animals.The changes of physiological indicators in 24 h is not obvious in conscious animals, and showed a certain biorhythm.Compared with the conscious animals, the anesthetized dogs’ heart rate was significantly higher, blood pressure increased significantly, QRS and QTcf interval prolonged significantly, respiratory frequency decreased, heart rate increased significantly after feeding, and QTcf interval extended very significantly.Conclusions Traditional methods in safety pharmacology affect animal physiological indicators such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and QT interval, which affect the objectivity of drug evaluation.Using conscious animals by telemetry can reduce these errors, however, the interference from outside should be eliminated.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of the survivin gene and CpC methylation in exon 1 of the survivin gene in CA tissue, and to study the expression of survivin protein in CA tissue and its modulation mechanism. Methods Tissue samples were obtained from the CA lesions of 30 patients, normal cervix of 10 female controls, and normal foreskin of 10 male controls. Immunohistochemistry was carried out to detect the expression of survivin protein in these specimens, RT-PCR to measure the mRNA expression of survivin, and methylation specific PCR (MSP) to analyze the methylation status of CpG island in the survivin gene exon 1. Results The positivity rate of survivin protein and mRNA was 90% (27/30) and 93.3% (28/30) in CA tissue specimens, respectively, 5% (1/20) and 5% (1/20) in control tissue specimens, respectively; there was a significant difference between the two groups of specimens in both the parameters (x2 = 35.187, 38.437, both P < 0.01). The demethylation of CpG island in the survivin gene exon 1 was observed in 86.7% (26/30) of the CA tissue specimens and in 15% (3/20) of the control tissue specimens (x2 = 10.865, P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between the demethylation status of CpG island in exon 1 and the mRNA expression of survivin gene (x2 = 13.929, P = 0.014). Conclusions The expression of survivin protein in CA tissues might be associated with the demethylation of CpG island in exon 1 of the survivin gene, and may play a certain role in the development of CA.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) is a kind of extra life support technique that can support cardiac and pulmonary function in a relatively long time.With the application of nitric oxide,pulmonary surfactant and high frequency ventilation,the use of ECMO in neonatal respiratory failure decreased.Although received these treatment,there are some newborn with respiratory failure still required ECMO at last.On this paper,the application of ECMO in neonatal respiratory failure from foreign medical institute was introduced,and compared with the domestic situation,in order to improve the application of ECMO in neonatal respiratory failure.

Objective: To examine the expression of glucocorticoid receptor in human colon cancinoma tis-sues and call lines and to explore the survival of colon cancer cell lines treated with dexamethasone alone or in combination with 5-Fu and L-OHP in a way of dexamethasone pretreatment or co-administration in vitro.Methods: The expression of glucocorticoid receptor was detected in 61 cases of colon cancer tissue samples and 4 types of colon cancer cell lines by immunohistochemistry. Apoptosis was detected by Hoechst33342 staining and flow cytometry. MTT assay was employed to detect the chemosensitivity of colon carcinoma cells to L-OHP and 5-Fu with dexamethasone pretreatment for 24 hours or co-administretion. Results: Positive GR expression was found in 57.3% colon cancer tissue samples and in Lovo and HCT-116 cell lines, not in HT-29 and SW-480. Apoptosis was detected in GR-expressed Lovo and HCT-116 cells at 72 hours after 1×10~(-4)mol/L Dex treatment, and the rates of apoptosis were higher than those in the control groups without Dex (P<0.01),GR-negative cells, HT-29 and SW-480 even treated with 1 × 10~(-4)mol/L Dex for 72 hours. Pretreatment and co-administration for Lovo cells with 1×10~(-4)mol/L Dex could decrease the IC50 of L-OHP from 13.7±1:1.3μg/mL to 5.9±0.6μg/mL and 4.8±0.7μg/mL, respectively. IC50 of 5-Fu was decreased from 72.2±8.1 μg/mL to 21.1±4.1μg/mL and 18.6±4.0μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: There is expression of glucocorticoid receptor in part of colon carcinoma tissue samples and cell lines. Apoptosis does occur in GR-expressed Lovo and HCT-116 cells induced by dexamethasone in vitro. Pretreatment for 24h and co-administration with Dex can increase the chemosensitivity of Lovo cells to L-OHP and 5-Fu.

Objective To construct Neuropilins-2 eukaryotic expression vector for RNA interference.Methods Recombinant targeting on gene NRP2 was designed and established with plasmid pGenSil-1 based on NRP2 cDNA equences of Genomes.Two pairs of oligonucleotides were synthesized according to the Tuschl and inserted into plasmid pGenSil-l to generate siRNA eukaryotic expression vector,DH5? strains were transformed,plasmid were extracted,and recombinant vectors were identified by the restriction map and the sequence analysis.The recombinant plasmid(pGenSil-NRP2) was transfected into the cultured LOVO cells.At 48 h after transfection,the whole cell protein was extracted,and the protein level was detected by Western blotting with mouse-anti-human NRP2 monoclonal antibody.Results Recombinant plasmids were completely coincided with the designs by the restriction map and the sequence analysis.pGenSil-NRP2 expression vector into LOVO cells down-regulated the protein level of NRP2 at 48 h after transfection.The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector were constructed successfully.Conclusion siRNA recombinant can be constructed successfully by RNAi technique for inhibiting NRP2 expression.

Objective To observe neural stem cells proliferation,migration and differentiation in hippocampus in developing rats with status epileptictus.Methods 320 healthy SD rats at age 7,14,21,28 d (P7,P14,P21,P28) were randomly divided into status epilepticus (SE) and normal control group.In each group those rats at the same age were further randomly divided into 1,7,14,21,28 d five time points after PTZ-induced SE (n =8).New cell proliferation and migration were observed by immunohistochemistry studies in the dentate gyms.Double labeling with Brdu/NeuN and Brdu/GFAP was performed in the P14 rats.Results Nestin positive cells appeared in the dentate gyms on 1 d after SE in P7,P14,P21,P28 rats.The number of nestin positive cells gradually increased on 7 d and reached a peak on 14 d,then gradually reduced on 21 d,finally fell to a minimum on 28 d after SE.The numbers of nestin positive cells on 7 d(177.00 ± 3.22,t =16.033) and 14 d (195.00 ± 3.41,t =28.840) were significantly higher in the SE group than the NS group (147.50 ± 2.08,136.50 ± 2.65,both P ＜ 0.05).The smaller age of rats with SE onset,the greater the nestin intensity.But the number of nestin positive cells in the dentate gyrus of normal rats were gradually decreased with increasing age.Nestin positive cells were distributed in subgranular zone of dentate gyrus on 1 d and 7 d after SE,then gradually migrated to the granule cell layer on 14 d with morphological changes.Small part of nestin positive cells were ectopically migrated to the hilus of dentate gyrus in P14,P21,P28 age rats,and were also seen in the CA1,CA3 of hippocampus and cortex with various cell morphology.For differentiation of newly generated cells,most of Brdu positive cells coexpressed NeuN and about 4％-5％ cells co-expressed GFAP.Conclusions SE could induce neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus area in developing rats which has age-related characteristics.Most new cells migrate from the subgranular zone to the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus,and a small number of newly generated cells ectopically migrated to the hilus of dentate.The majority of newly generated cells differentiate into neurons,and the others differentiate into glial.

Objective To study the distribution and expression of Semaphorins-3A protein in brain of postnatal rats.Methods Semaphorins-3A positive cells were observed by immunohistochemistry in the cerebral cortex,hippocampus,dentate gyms and entorhinal cortex in postnatal 0d,7d,14d,21 d and 28d of Sprague Dawley rats.Results Semaphorins-3A positive cells widely distributed in the granule cell layer ( Ⅱ ),external pyramidal cell layer ( Ⅲ ),internal granular cell layer ( Ⅳ ),pyramidal cell layer ( Ⅴ ) and layer of polymorphous cells ( Ⅵ ),in addition to the molecular layer ( Ⅰ ) of the parietal,occipital,frontal,temporal,insular,cingulate cortex,piriform cortex and entorhinal cortex with postnatal 0d,7d,14d,21d and 28d rats.The amount of semaphorins-3A positive cells(IOD) in the entorhinal cortex was 84916.23 ± 3266.34 in P0d,77711.41 ± 2634.26 in P7d,74124.25 ± 3989.09 in P14d,65887.63 ± 3406.57 in P21d and 57705.96 ± 3136.35 in P28d,meanwhile the region of semaphorins-3A positive cells narrowed in the part level with Ⅱ -Ⅵ levels of cortex.Similarly semaphorins-3A positive cells distributed mainly in granule cell layer of dentate gyrus,CA1,CA3 region and only a few of semaphorins-3A positive cells scattered in the multi-line layer in hippocampus.The expression level of semaphorins-3Awas significant difference among postnatal 0d,7d,14d,21d and 28d rats (P＜0.01).Conclusion Semaphorins-3A positive cells widely distribute in the various cortex and hippocampus in developing rat brain,and the region of semaphorins-3A is reduced with age growth of rats.
