Purpose　To investigate the role of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA),uPA receptor (uPAR),tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) in the invasiveness of human breast cancer cells.　Methods　Three human breast cancer cell lines with different invasive ability were taken as research targets.RT-PCR and milk plates methods were used to detect the expression of uPA system members and the PA activities,respectively.Modified Boyden's chamber model was employed to detect the invasive ability of cancer cell.　Results　MDA-MB-231 could express high level of uPA,uPAR,PAI-1 and low level of tPA.MDA-MB-435 could express lower level of uPA and hight level of tPA,but no PAI-1 and uPAR were detected.MCF-7 could express lower level of uPAR and high level of PAI-1,but no uPA and tPA were detected.MDA-MB-231 cells showed the highest total PA and uPA activity.MDA-MB-435 cells also showed high total PA activity,but almost all the activity owed to tPA.MCF-7 showed almost no PA activity.Correlated with their PA activities,MDA-MB-231 was found the most invasive in vitro,followed by MDA-MB-435,and MCF-7 almost had no invasive ability.The antibodies against uPA and uPAR were significantly effective in reducing the matrigel invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 by approximately 83.1% and 43.9% respectively (P<0.05).　Conclusions　Co-expression of uPA,uPAR and PAI-1 in human breast cancer highly correlates with the invasiveness in vitro.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that placement, needling point, angle and length of pedicle screws for thoracic vertebral fractures have been unified. Many studies concerned axial pul-out force and biomechanical behavior of a single screw, but few reports addressed the biomechanical behavior after the replacement with three kinds of screw connecting to rods. OBJECTIVE:To further observe and compare biomechanical behavior after three kinds of thoracic screw placement connecting rod using biomechanical testing, to understand the strength of thoracic pedicle screw replacement connecting rods, and the effects of its puling out on the stress of the bone surrounding the placement site. METHODS:The fresh frozen specimens of thoracic vertebra were divided into three groups at random: the pedicle fixation group, the transverse process-vertebral body fixation group, and modified rib transverse process fixation group. Thoracic pedicle screw system was inserted by the standard placement method in each group. The experiment was measured on the mechanical equipment. During puling out, the strength that bone bore was described with dynamic curve, folowed by statistical analysis. The difference in the gripping force on the thoracic vertebra among three kinds of screw placement method was compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Among three kinds of screw placement methods and among three kinds of screw placement methods on the injured vertebral body, the gripping force was significantly bigger in the pedicle fixation group than in the transverse process-vertebral body fixation group and modified rib transverse process fixation group (P < 0.01). No significant difference in the gripping force was detected between the transverse process-vertebral body fixation group and modified rib transverse process fixation group. Results verified that the stability of loading ability was apparently better in the pedicle fixation group compared with the transverse process-vertebral body fixation group and modified rib transverse process fixation group.

AIM: To study the effects of intrathymic inoculation of liver specific antigen (LSA) on hepatocyte apoptosis after liver allotransplantation. METHODS: Orthotopic liver transplantation was used in this study. Group Ⅰ: syngenic control (Wistar-to-Wistar); Group Ⅱ: acute rejection (SD-to-Wistar); Group Ⅲ: thymus inoculation of SD rat LSA day 7 before transplantation. The observation of general situation and survival time, hepatocyte apoptosis and LAT expression in liver transplants were used to analyze immune state of animals in different groups. RESULTS: The general situation of group Ⅰ was very well after transplantation. Recipients of groupⅡ lost body weight progressively and all died within day 9 to day 13 post transplantation. As for group Ⅲ, the general situation of recipients was remarkably better than that in group Ⅱ. The positive cells of apoptosis in group Ⅲ detected by TUNEL were not significantly different from that in group Ⅰ, but was significantly lower than that in group Ⅱ. LAT was detected at any time in group Ⅱ with peak expression at day 5 and day 7 post transplantation. In contrast, LAT was not detected in any other groups. CONCLUSION: Intrathymic inoculation of LSA protects hepatocytes from apoptosis after liver allotransplantation.

Objective To study the infection condition of AmpC ? lactamases producing strains for reasonable use of antibiotics in clinic. Methods Adopting modified three dimensional extract test was adopted to detect enterobacteriaceae strains, and 12 antibiotics were determined by the antimicrobial disk diffusion susceptibility tests in specimen collected from 233 senile infectious patients. Results The total isolating rate of AmpC ? lactamases producing enterobacteriaceae strains in senile patients was 8 6%. The incidence of AmpC ? lactamases producing strains was found most often in E.cloacae. The AmpC ? lactamases producing strains were susceptive to imipenem and there the resistance rates to imipenem were 100 0%. The resistance rates to cefepime were 85%～100% to the third generation cephalosporins and aztreonam Conclusions The drug resistance of AmpC ? lactamases producing enterobacteriaceae is very serious. It is important to surveillance and control drug resistance of AmpC producing strains.

Objective To investigate the influence of low bilirubin level on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in vitro. Methods HSCs were isolated and cultured from the liver of SD rats. The effect of bilirubin in different concentration on reactive oxygen in HSCs was determined by DCFH-DA kit. The proliferation of HSCs was tested by CCK-8 test kit.Smoothmuscle α-actin (α-SMA) expression of HSCs was tested by Western blot.The apoptosis of HSCs was tested by flow cytometry.The fibrosis-related genes were tested by PCR. Results HSCs were isolated and cultured successfully.Bilirubin in low concentration (0,1,10,20 mg/L) inhibited the generation of the reactive oxygen.Proliferation and α-SMA expression of HSCs was inhibited by bilirubin (0.624 ± 0.092,0.536 ± 0.127,0.407 ± 0.033,0.399 ± 0.022,F =13.454,P ＜0.05 ; 339 ± 2,336 ± 10,246 ± 7,242 ± 5,3.7 ± 0.3,F =191.107,P ＜ 0.05 ) and the apoptosis of HSCs was promoted by bilirubin(2.69 ±0.07％,2.95 ±0.10％,4.41 ±0.22％,4.91 ±0.86％,F =34.731,P ＜0.05 ).Bilirubin in low concentration changed the expression of fibrosis-related genes in HSCs.The ratio of TIMP-1mRNA/MMP-2mRNA decreased (54 ± 2,65 ± 2,47 ± 2,44 ± 2,F =73.400,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Bilirubin in low concentration inhibits the proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells,orobablv bv a mechanism in which bilirubin promoted antioxidative function.
