The activity of the negative regulator of cell cycle, P27, affects the normal process of cell cycle. As a type of cell cycle diseases, tumor is closely correlated with the activation of P27. It is shown that the level of P27 decreases in most kinds of tumors.By its influence on cell proliferation and apoptosis, P27 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumor. The activity of P27 is regulated by several pathways either at or after transcription, so various ideals which directly change the protein level of P27 or indirectly interfere the activities of elements in regulative pathways of P27 will provide many novel and efficient ways for therapies in tumors.

Purpose To describe the clinical and pathological features of atypical vascular lesions (AVLs) after conservative surgery and radiation of the breast cancer,and to discuss the association with post-radiation angiosarcoma.Methods The clinical and pathological features in one case of AVLs was evaluated.The literatures were reviewed.Results The patient is a 57-yeAR~-old female who underwent a conservative surgery of the right breast because of a carcinoma.She received standard dose of radiation as adjuvant therapy.Three years later, multiple erythematous plaques developed around the former scar, which radiated to the nipple.Clinically,the plaques were considered as relapses of the carcinoma.However, fine needle aspiration gave negative results.Biopsy of one large plague revealed a circumscribed vascular lesion confined to the superficial dermis.It was composed of thin-walled anastomosing lymphatic vessels lined by attenuated endothelial cells.In focal areas, the vessels extended to the mid-dermis.Immunohistochemically, the endothelial cells were positive for CD31, CD34 and D2-40,with absent of α-SMA positive pericytes.Review of the breast tumor sections showed an invasive micropapillary carcinoma.Conclusions AVLs is a rare vascular lesion related with conservative surgery and post-radiation therapy of the breast.AVLs may represent as a precursor of breast angiosarcoma.Being familiar with the clinicopathologic characteristics of AVLs is important not only for the pathologists but also for the clinicians.

Objective　To evaluate the effectiveness of intratracheal tube suctioning by respiratory mechanics measurement.Methods　The indexes of respiratory mechanics,including respiratory rate,expiratory tidal volume,% leak around the tube,dynamic respiratory compliance and mean airway resistance were measured just before and 20 minutes after intraendotracheal tube suction in mechanical ventilated children with respiratory failure.Results　Fifty-two measurements was carried out in 11 patie nts.The mean values of respiratory risistance was (116.73±27.12)cmH2O/L.s before suctioning and (93.38±26.64)cmH2O/L.s after suctioning,with significant differrence(P＜0.01)；The mean values of % leak around the tacheal tube dereased from(18.12±4.12)% before suctioning to (8.71±3.76)% after suctioning (P＜0.05),The mean values of expiratory tidal valume was markedly increased from(7.31±2.12)ml/kg before suctioning to(5.72±1.2)ml/kg after suctioning(P＜0.01),The total respiraory rate markedly decreased after suctioning.Conclusion　The respiratory mechanics measurement is very useful to evaluate the airway patient.The removal of secretions is crucial in respiratory managemet.

A selective precolumn derivatization liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for the determination of glucosamine in human plasma and urine has been developed and validated.Glucosamine was derivatized by o-phthalaldehyde/3-mercaptopropionic acid.Chromatographic separation was performed on a Phenomenex ODS column (150 mm × 4.6mm,5μm) using linear gradient elution by a mobile phase consisting of methanol (A),and an aqueous solution containing 0.2％ ammonium acetate and 0.1％ formic acid (B) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min.Tolterodine tartrate was used as the internal standard (IS).With protein precipitation by acetonitrile and then the simple one-step derivatization,a sensitive bio-assay was achieved with the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) as low as 12 ng/mL for plasma.The standard addition calibration curves suitable for clinical sample analysis showed good linearity over the range of 0.012-8.27 μg/mL in plasma and 1.80-84.1 μg/mL in urine.The fully validated method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of compound glucosamine sulfate dispersible tablets in health Chinese volunteers receiving single oral doses at 500,1000 and 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate,as well as multiple oral doses of 500 mg t.i.d.for 7 consecutive days.

Histology of the kidney, ureter and bladder in Meriones Unguiculataus were observed by light microscopy using HE staining.Results The results showed that compared with rats and mice, the Mongolian gerbils have more developed distal tubules, and well developed inner renal medulla.Conclusions We hope that the findings of this study enrich our understanding of the histology of urinary system in Mongolian gerbils and provide support for the laboratory animalization of this animal.

Objective To study the effect of calcitonin on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in femoral fracture healing in ovariectomized rats .Methods 80 female rats of 3 months old were randomly divided into four groups :Sham operation group(Sham ,10 cases);Ovariectomized operation group(OVX ,10 cases);Ovariectomy+ fracture+ salinegroup(Control ,30 cases) and Ovariectomy+ fracture +calcitonin group(Experimental ,30 cases) .Rats in Sham group and OVX group were performed ovari-otomy and killed after 4 weeks ,femoral bone mineral density was measured .For rats in Control group and Experimental group ,right middle femoral facture was performed 4 weeks later after ovariectomy .Calcitonin(16 IU/kg)were injected subcutaneously once per 2 days in Experimental group ,while those in Control group were given equal volume of normal saline .Rods in these two groups were killed after 3 ,6 ,9 weeks(10 at a time) ,femoral bone mineral density(BMD)was measured;hematoxylin-eosin staining and im-munohisto-chemical staining were performed at the 3th ,6th and 9th week after fracture ,respectively .Results Compared with Sham group ,rats weight in OVX group gained more(P< 0 .05) ,and BMD in OVX group significantly decreased more(P< 0 .05) .HE staining ,at the 3th week after fracture ,endochondral ossification domained in fracture healing ,and no significant difference existed (P>0 .05)in BMD .At the 6th week after fracture ,bone trabecula in both groups arranged in order ,compared with the control group ,BMD in experimental group increased significantly(P<0 .05) .At the 9th week after fracture ,bone trabecula in both groups arranged closely ,BMD in both groups showed significant difference(P<0 .05) .There was no significant difference of vascular endo-thelial growth factor(VEGF)between experimental group and control group at the 3th ,6th ,9th week after fracture(P>0 .05) .Con-clusion The results suggest that calcitonin treatment could enhance the bone mineral density significantly after fracture ,but it has no impact on the expression of VEGF in osteoporotic fracture healing .

Objective To observe the curative effect of low melocular weight heparin(LMWH) on the hypercoagulability in acute Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods Forty-six patients were diagnosed KD.Twenty-two cases out of all KD patients whose serum concentration of whether platelet(PLT) or fibrinogen(FIB) was significantly increased or who were found thrombus in their coronary artery by ultrasonic Doppler were treated with LMWH by subcutaneous injection once every day for 7-10 days.All the patients were divided into 2 groups accor-ding to whether using LMWH or not:H group(using LMWH) and NH group(no using LMWH).It were detected before and after treatment that included thrombin time(TT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),international normalized ratio(INR),FIB,plasma mucosity,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),hematocrit(HCT) and situation of haemorrhage.Results 1.Before treatment,PLT and FIB of patients in H group were significantly higher than those in NH group(Pa

Aim To investigate the effect of TRPV4 on hepatic fibrosis of rats . Methods Liver fibrosis model of rats was induced by 50% CCl4 twice a week for 12 weeks. HE and Masson staining were used to evaluate the degree of hepatic fibrosis, and the levels of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) and TRPV4 were detec-ted in fibrotic liver tissue by Western blot. HSC-T6 cells were activated by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1),and the protein levels of α-SMA, TRPV4 were detected by Western blot. After using Ru and transfected with TRPV4-siRNA, HSC-T6 was stimula-ted with TGF-β1, the levels of α-SMA, TRPV4 and phosphorylation level of Akt were determined by West-ern blot. Results TRPV4 was highly expressed in model liver tissues and in activated HSC-T6 induced by TGF-β1 . The levels of α-SMA and phosphorylation of Akt decreased in TGF-β1-induced HSC, used with Ru or transfected with TRPV4-siRNA. Conclusions The expression of TRPV4 increases in fibrotic livers and ac-tivated hepatic stellate cells. Knockdown of TRPV4 can suppress the activation of hepatic stellate cells in-duced by TGF-β1 , and decrease the phosphorylation levels of Akt.
