Objective To explore the roles of urokinase type PA (uPA) and uPA receptor (uPA R) in the course of repair after human embryo corneal alkali burn in vitro . Methods After the alkali burn model in vitro was established successfully, some techniques such as the observation of cell culture and morphology, ICC and image analysis were used. Results No significant difference was found between the cells from corneal limbus and central cornea and almost all of them expressed AE1/AE3. The expressions of uPA and uPA R increased to the maximum at about 24 h after alkali burn. uPA expression distributed mainly in the cytoplasm but uPA R expression distributed mainly in the cell membrane. Conclusion The corneal epithelial cells of comparatively high purity can be acquired by tissue culture. There probably exists difference in development and vitality between embryo and adult cornea. There might be commonness of the roles of uPA and uPA R in epithelial tissue.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation on hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) in rats.

METHODSSD rats MSCs were separated, cultivated, identified and labeled by the green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene virus and transplanted in vitro. Healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: Normal control group (NC group) and HPH group (eight rats respectively), HPH+ MSCs transplantation group and HPH+ VEGF+ MSCs transplantation group (twenty-four respectively). The test employed atmospheric intermittent low oxygen method to establish the rat model of pulmonary hypertension and stem cells were transferred and transplanted. The rats' mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was observed; right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI) was calculated; the morphological change of lung small artery in various groups of rats was observed under the microscope; the distribution of lung small artery and adenovirus transfection fluorescently labeled MSCs was observed under a fluorescent microscope after 7, 14 and 28 days when stem cell was transplanted.

RESULTSFor NC group, the mPAP (mmHg) was 15.5 +/- 1.5 after twenty-eight days while the mPAPs for HPH , MSCs and MSCs+ VEGF were 26.1 +/- 1.9, 21.6 +/- 2.7 and 20.1 +/- 2.9 respectively which were apparently higher than that of NC group (P < 0.01) and compared with HPH group (P < 0.01), which declined clearly. There was no significant difference between MSCs and MSCs+ VEGF. After twenty-eight days, RVHI for NC group was 0.28 +/- 0.02 while the RVHI for HPH, MSCs and MSCs + VEGF were 0.43 +/- 0.07, 0.34 +/- 0.03 and 0.35 +/- 0.01 respectively which was apparently higher than that of NC group (P < 0.01) but which was clearly lower than that of MSCs and MSCs+ VEGF (P < 0.05) and there was no significant difference between MSCs and MSCs + VEGF. For HPH group, pulmonary arteriole wall became apparently thicker, the lumen became significantly narrow and nearly obstructed after twenty-eight days, the endothelial cells were incomplete; compared with HPH group, pulmonary arteriole wall of MSCs group became thin, the lumen was smooth and the completeness of endothelial cells was improved. Whereas for MSCs and MSCs + VEGF, these changes were not significantly clear.

CONCLUSIONAfter MSCs transplantation, mPAP and RVHI decline sharply and lung small artery remodeling is improved which partially reverses HPH process; there is no significant difference between VEGF together with MSCs transplantation group and pure MSCs.

Objective To explore the relationship of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and oxygen-induced retinopathy(OIR).Methods Thirty-six newborn SD rats were divided into 2 expanded litters,18 of which were exposed to 50 mL/L oxygen and then 10 mL/L oxygen in alternating 24-hour periods(experiment group),an additional 18 rats as control rats were raised simultaneously in room air(control group).On postnatal 14 days(P14),oxygen-exposed rats were removed to room air.The eyeballs of 6 rats from each group were enucleated and fixed by formaldehyde at postnatal 14 days(P14),postnatal 17 days(P17),and postnatal 21 days(P21)respectively,and then cross sectioned.The nuclei of proliferative retinal vessels were counted through the crosssections to measure the average retinal capillary density index(RCDI)when stained with hematoxylin and eosin(HE)under light;the expression of MCP-1 was measured by immunohistochemistry.Results There existed obviously differencc between 2 groups in the field of both RCDI and the expression of MCP-1 at the same time point [t(P14)=6.69 P=0.001,t(P17)=3.43 P=0.006,t(P21)=2.37 P=0.039;t(P14)=40.45,t(P17)=43.44,t(P21)=17.45 Pa=0],when RCDI and the expression of MCP-1 were compared among the different time points with in the same group,there existed obviously difference among three time points in the experiment group(F=17.74 P=0.0001;F=421.5 P=0),but no differencc in control group(F=0.016 P=0.984;F=0.006 P=0.994).There existed positive correlation between the expression of MCP-1 and the value of RCDI in experiment group(r=0.822 P=0).Conclusions Neovascularization resulting from OIR occurs before room air recove-ry.MCP-1 is upregulated and subsequently downregulated in OIR.Neovascularization in the OIR model appear to be associated with increased retinal MCP-1.

Objective To investigate clinical effect and safety difference of vinorelbine and docetaxel sepa-rately combined with lobaplatin in treatment of recurrent and metastatic breast cancer.Methods 160 patients with recurrent and metastatic breast cancer were chosen from July 2009 to July 2012 in our hospital,and they were random-ly divided into two groups,including A group (80 patients)with vinorelbine and B group (80 patients)with docetaxel on the basis of lobaplatin.The clinical efficacy for short -term,survival rate with follow -up and side effects incidence of both groups were compared.Results The RR and DCR of A group were 51.25%,68.75%,which of B group were 55.00%,71.25%.There was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy for short -term between the two groups (χ2 =1.04,2.37,all P >0.05).The survival rates in 1,2 and 3 years after treatment of A group were 60.00%,53.75%,28.75%,those of B group were 67.50%,57.50%,31.25%.There was no significant difference in the survival rate with follow -up between the two groups (χ2 =2.14,3.01,1.87,all P >0.05).The incidence rate of drug side effects of B group was significantly lower than A group(χ2 =13.14,9.33,15.74,11.65,8.29,all P <0.05).Conclusion Vinorelbine and docetaxel separately combined with lobaplatin in treatment of recurrent and metastatic breast cancer can efficiently control the disease progress and prolong the survival time;but docetaxel com-bined with lobaplatin treatment is helpful to reduce the risk of serious side effects.

Objective To study the function of cyclooxygenase 2(COX 2) and its specific inhibitor NS 398 on the cell growth and invasion ability of urothelial carcinoma cell line EJ. Methods The cox 2 cDNA was transfected into the urothelial carcinoma cell line EJ and a cell line EJ COX 2 which highly expressed cox 2 gene permanently was gained. The cell growth rate before and after transfection was observed. Then at various concentrations of NS 398, the invasion ability was detected by Boyden Chamber and expression levels of uPA by RT PCR and Western blot. Results The EJ COX 2 cell line grew more rapidly and had a stronger invasion ability than EJ and its uPA expression increased significantly. NS 398 could dose dependently inhibit the expressions of COX 2 and uPA and the invasiveness of EJ COX 2 cell. Conclusion COX 2 can stimulate the growth of urothelial cell line EJ and promote its invasion ability by stimulating the expression of uPA.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,diagnostic and treatment experience of severe hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD) cases receiving mechanical ventilation from Jan 1 to Sep 6,2009 in our hospital and provide reference for reducing the occurrence of neurogenic pulmonary edema(NPE) and mortality. Methods 147 severe HFMD who received mechanical ventilation were analyzed by a retrospective investigation. Results 85.0% children were less than 3 years old and 100% patients had a fever. The mechanical ventilation occurred within 1 to 4 days after fever (3.06 ± 1. 02) d. Neurological complications presented as bad spirit,easy surprised, involuntary movement of the extremities and lethargy. Respiratory system complication presented as polypnea, hypepnea and irregular rhythm. Circulatory system complication presented as heart rate increase or decrease, hypertension or hypotension, piebald skin and low limb temperature.Some of the children had high white blood cell counting,glucose and lactic acid of the blood. The EV71-PCR positive rate was 34. 7% for throat swabs,and 42. 2% for anal swabs. Chest X-ray presented as increased broncho vascular shadows, exudation or nonapparent abnormality. Only three children were dead, fatality rate was 2. 0%. Conclusion The HFMD cases in this outbreak are relatively more serious,and change rapidly. It's difficult to treat as soon as NPE appeared,and it has high fatality rate. Early recognition of critical patients,timely giving mechanical ventilation,and the comprehensive treatment can reduce NPE incidence and the mortality.
