p16 gene was a tumor supressor gene found recently. The p16 protein is a negative regulator of cell proliferation . Loss of normal p16 function is associated with the development of neoplasms. To detect antitumorigenic effect of p16 on human lung adenocarcinoma cells, we cloned a p16 cDNA into the pcDNA3 vector at the sites of BamHl and Xho I to gain a p16 gene recombinant expression vector plasmid. We then transferred the p16 gene recombinant plasmid into human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (NCI-H460) by electroporation method. After G418 selection we assessed cell growth properties and cell cycle pattern by flow cytometry to G418-resistant clones of NCI-H460-pl6 and NCI-H460-vect respectively. The results show that human p16 gene could suppress the phenotype of NCI-H460 cell line and p16 gene therapy plays a positive role in human lung adenocarcinoma treatment.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)includes Crohn’s disease (CD)and ulcerative colitis (UC).The differential diagnosis between CD and UC mainly depends on clinical symptoms,endoscopy,pathological biopsy,laboratory and imaging examinations.In recent years,studies with a variety of IBD-related biomarkers develop rapidly because of its non-invasiveness,simple and easily acceptable.With the development of genome-wide association study (GWAS),great progress has been achieved in studies of gene mutations and susceptibility genes related with CD and UC,which provides new approach for diagnosis of the disease.This article reviewed the advances in studies on serum biomarkers and susceptibility genes in differential diagnosis of IBD.

Objective To discuss the effectiveness and safety of selective iliac artery embolization in treating severe postpartum hemorrhage.Methods Eighteen cases of postpartum severe hemorrhage were treated by embolizing iliac artery with gelatin and/or steel coil.4-26 months later,5 cases were scanned with 16 layer MD(multi-detector)spiral CT with pelvic artery reconstruction and hormones(E2?P?T?FSH?LH?PRL)examination taken in 8 cases.Results Arteries were re-opened in cases embolized with gelatin.Two possible results may occur in those embolized with steel coil including one with uterus mainly supplied by ovarian arterian assisted by re-opened uterus artery and the other mainly fed by re-opened uterus artery.Hormones of the 8 cases were normal.Two women got re-pregnant after embolization.No serious complication related to embolization was found.Conclusion Iliac arterial embolization is safe and effective for the control of severe postpartum hemorrhage.(J Intervent Radiol,2006,15:218-220)

OBJECTIVETo compare the tissue engineered cartilage constructed with chondrocytes derived from auricular and articular cartilage.

METHODSChondrocytes were isolated from porcine auricular and articular cartilage, and BMSCs were obtained from bone marrow aspirate and cultured. Each kind of chondrocytes were resuspended alone or mixed with BMSCs at a ratio of 1:1, and seeded onto PGA/PLA scaffolds to construct tissue engineered cartilage (n = 4). The constructs were cultured for 8 weeks in vitro and then subcutaneously implanted into nude mice for 6 weeks. The differences between chondrocytes monoculture from articular and auricular cartilage or between each of them co-cultured with BMSCs were evaluated by gross view, measurement of thickness and wet weight, histological examinations including H&E, Safranin O, type II collagen, and Ponceau's & Victoria blue staining, and gene expression analysis of cartilage related genes.

RESULTSNo obvious differences were found histologically among the complexes constructed in vitro 8 weeks except for few elastic fibers secreted in the auricular chondrocytes + BMSCs co-culture group. Neo-cartilage is thicker in the groups of articular chondrocytes (38. 1% than the group of auricular chondrocytes, P < 0.05) and articular chondrocytes + BMSCs co-culture (19.3% than the group of auricular chondrocytes + BMSCs, P < 0.05). However, after 6 weeks in vivo the elastic fibers were found positive in the complexes constructed by auricular chondrocytes, and its staining was even stronger and more homogenous in the group of auricular chondrocytes + BMSCs co-culture. The tissues generated by articular chondrocytes alone and co-cultured with BMSCs both formed the characteristic features of three-layer structure of hyaline cartilage and ossified in vivo with significant up-regulation of COL10A1 and MMP-13. To summarize, auricular chondrocytes formed the elastic cartilage while articular chondrocytes formed the hyaline cartilage during the development of tissue engineered cartilage either by monoculture or the co-culture with BMSCs.

CONCLUSIONSThe chondrogenic response of chondrocytes from different cartilage origins demonstrates that an initial chondrocyte and cartilage type recapitulates the same in later tissue-engineered development.

AIM： To give some information for rational administration of oral antiepileptic drugs to epileptic patients in clinic METHODS： The serum concentrations of oral phenytoin sodium， phenobarbital and carbamazepine were determined in 88,63 and 63 epileptic patients（ total 214 times） by fluorescence polarization immunoassay， respectively The individualized drugs administration schemes were provided RESULTS： The sensitivity to the three kinds of antiepileptic drugs varied in different patients CONCLUSIONS： The administration of oral antiepileptic drugs to epileptic patients must be based on the data of drug concentration in serum We must comprehensively consider the other factors

ObjectiveCardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and its related ischemia reperfusion injury may cause endothelial cell injury.To study the protective effects of sodium ferulate in vascular endothelial function during CPB by testing the changes of vascular endothelial cell( CEC),nitric oxide( NO) and endothelin-1 ( ET-1 ) in children with congenital heart disease.MethodsSixty patients with congenital heart disease,including 28 males and 32 females were studied.The mean age was (19.7 ±10.4) months and body weight (10.5 ±6.1) kg.There were 37 VSD,8 ASD,7 TOF,5 TAPVC and 3 CAVC,among them 26 patients had pulmonary hypertension.They were randomly divided in to two groups:sodium ferulate group ( group S,n = 30),and control group ( group C,n =30) .Sodium ferulate (8 mg/kg) was given intravenously before CPB.Blood samples were taken from the arterial line at following time points:before CPB (TO),bypass 30 min(Tl ),the termination of CPB (T2 ),2h after operation ( T3 ) and 6h after operation ( T4 ),respectively for determination the concentration of vascular endothelial cell (CEC) in the blood,the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 ( ET-1) in the plasma.ResultsThere were no significant difference for the two groups regarding above parameters at TO ( P > 0.05).The level of CEC was significantly elevated after CPB in both groups ( P < 0.05 ) .CEC were lower at T2 in group S than in group C ( P < 0.05 ) .NO was decreased in both groups,but was higher in group S at T2,T3 and T4 ( P < 0.05 ) .The concentration of plasma ET-1 was not significantly different before CPB,but there was a slight decrease at T1,and then it was significantly increased in both groups (P<0.05).But it was lower in group S than in group C at T1,T2,T3 and T4(P<0.05 orP<0.01).ConclusionThere was severe endothelial cell damage during CPB.Sodium Ferulate can effectively antagonize the secretion of ET-1 to promote the formation of NO.Therefore,it reduces CPB-induced endothelial cell damage and protects vascular endothelial function during CPB.

Objective To discuss clinical value of 64-slice spiral CT scanning in fast evaluation of severe multiple trauma.Methods A retrospective study was carried out on data of 72 multiple trauma patients diagnosed with systemic 64-slice spiral CT scanning in our hospital from January 2006 to June 2008.Of all,28 patients with traffic injuries,24 with falling injuries,10 with blunt injuries,6 with stab injuries and 4 with explosive injuries.Results There were 72 multiple trauma patients with mean scanning time of 10.2 seconds.The CT scanning showed both craniocerebral and thoracic injuries in 30 patients,brain injuries in 16,thoracoabdominal injuries plus pelvic injuries in 10,extremity and brain injuries in 14 and systemic soft tissue injuries in 2.Isotropic characteristics and postprocessing function of 64-slice spiral CT scanning could accurately diagnose and evaluate injury severity of multiple trauma.Conclusions 64-slice spiral CT scanning is a fast and effective method for fast evaluating injury severity of multiple trauma,for it can not only shorten checking time,reduce movements of the patients and relieve the pain of the patients,but also can avoid defects induced by respiratory movement and provide fairly integrated imaging materials by its isotropic characteristics and pestprecessing function.
