Objective To explore the feasibility of MR imaging for tumor-associated macrophages. Methods BALB/c mice and BALB/c ( nu/nu) nude mice were randomly divided into 6 groups ( before injection, 6, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after injection) and 5 groups (before injection, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after injection) with each group of 3 animals, respectively. Macrophages ( RAW 264. 7) were incubated with HSA-IONPs ( dopamine/HSA coating iron oxide nanoparticle) containing 20 μg Fe/ml for 24 hours. Then, 5 x 106 labeled macrophages were collected and injected into subcutaneous 4T1 tumorbearing BALB/c mice and 22B tumor-bearing nude mice via tail vein. At different time points described above, all animals performed transverse and coronal T2-weighted MR scans using a 7. 0 T MR imaging unit.After sacrifice at different time points, tumor, liver and other organs were removed and processed for histological examination. Cytotoxicity of HSA-IONPs were assayed by MTT test, Statistics analysis adopt SPSS 11.5, the differences among groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. The difference was regarded as statistically significant when P <0. 05. Image J 1.42 software was used for the quantitative measurement of MR signal intensity. Results Effective cell labeling was confirmed by Prussian blue staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM ). Iron uptake of single cell was 6. 19 pg. The mean absorbance values of cells incubated with HSA-IONPs for 24 hours in each group were 1. 95 ±0.19, 1. 82 ±0. 29,2. 10 ±0. 14, 1. 96 ±0. 18, 2. 05 ±0. 27 and 2.17 ±0. 22 respectively at different concentrations (5, 10,20, 40, 80, 160 μg/ml). Compared with that in control group (2. 00 ±0. 07), the absorbance values of cells in each group were not significantly different (F = 1.24,P>0. 05). There was a significant linear positive correlation between the labelled macrophage numbers and MR R2 values (r = 0. 99 ,P < 0. 05). In 4T1 tumor model, significant low signal intensity was found on T2WI surrounding the necrosis and cystic degeneration 6 hours after macrophage injection, with a signal reduction of 59.4%. The signal of tumor parenchyma showed no significant change, with signal reduction of 4. 8%. Irregular low signal ring could be seen at the junction of necrosis and parenchyma area at 24 hours after injection, with a signal reduction of 46. 8% and the signal loss was restored to 96. 8% around the necrosis and cystic degeneration. In 22B tumor model, multiple small scattered foci of low signal intensity were presented on T2WI around the necrosis and cystic degeneration 6 hours after macrophage injection with a signal drop of 46. 8% and reduced at 24 hours. 2, 3 or 7 days after macrophage injection, the morphology and location of low signal intensity were similar to those at 24 hours after injection on T2WI. But the signal intensity gradually decreased. The presence of labelled macrophages imaged by MRI were verified by pathology. Conclusion MRI is feasible for the delineation of tumor-associated macrophages. 24 hours after macrophage injection is the optimal time point for the assessment of macrophage migration and infiltration of tumor on T2WI. MRI can be used to evaluate the perfusion and neovascularization of tumor 6 hours after macrophage injection.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the ERK5 pathway on bone morphogenetic protein?9(BMP9)?regu?lated osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of immortalized stern cells from the apical papilla(iSCAP). Methods BMP9 was introduced into the iSCAP by using recombinant adenoviruses,and the P?ERK5 protein expression was measured via western blotting. Then,the osteogenic/odontoblas?tic changes were analyzed by alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining and Alizarin red staining,and the expression of osteogenic/odontoblast?associat?ed genes,such as Runx2,OCN,OPN,and DMP1 was measured by RT?PCR. Results BMP9 could up?regulate the phosphorylation of ERK5 in iSCAP. After using BIX02189,which was an inhibitor of ERK5,the phosphorylation of ERK5;the activity of ALP;the expression of Runx2, OCN,OPN,and DMP1;and the calcium deposition were all significantly inhibited. Conclusion The ERK5 signaling pathway plays an important role in BMP9?regulated osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of iSCAP.

Chronic urticaria is a very common allergic disease in the outpatient.It has complicated pathogenesis and there is no conclusion up to now.The activation of the mast cells and the release of the histamine are the key point of the chronic urticaria onset.In recent years,the studies have demonstrated that the autoimmunity and the chronic infection are the main cause of the disease.There are other factors including dysfunction of the coagulation,deficiency of the vitamin D,pseudoallergen,psychic factor and genetic mechanism.This article will make a review of the pathogenesis of the chronic urticaria from the aspects mentioned above.

22 cases of chronic gastritis,8 cases of gastric cancer,and 3 cases of other gastric diseases.10 hea'thy adults were also studied to serve as the control.According to the diagnostic criteria of Chinese traditional medicine ,58 cases with epigastric pains out of the 80 were categorized into the group of spleno-gastric asthenia (SGA) of 35 cases and the group of hepatogastric incoordinatin (HGI) of 23 cases.The basal pressure and rhythmic contractions of the stomach in response to a definite volume loading were recorded.It was found that 60% of SGA cases and 56.8% of PU cases showed only a few low-amplitude or no contractions in response to all varieties of volume loading,which were significantly higher than that in HGI cases (26%) and the control (10%).In the interval between the contractions and relaxations of the proximal stomach the intra-gasrric pressure was significantly lower in SGA and PU cases than in HGI cases and the control.These findings indicate that the tension and contractility of the mesculature of the proximal stomach are markedly reduced in patients with PU and SGA.

Twenty-nine thyroid tissue samples were collected from patients with thyroid nodules.The total RNA were extracted,the gene expressions of TFF3,HMGA2,C1orf24,and DDIT3 were detected by RT-PCR.In comparison with normal thyroid tissues,the expression of C1orf24 mRNA was decreased in the follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) group,but increased in the follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTC) group.The expressions of DDIT3 and HMGA2 mRNA were increased in both FTA and FTC groups,and were even higher in the latter.The expressions of TFF3 mRNA level were decreased in FTA and FTC.The data suggested that molecular markers C1ort24,DDIT3,HMGA2,and TFF3 in thyroid tissue seem to be helpful in the differential diagnosis between follicular adenomas and carcinomas.
