1.The relationship between CD44 and the resistance to antineoplastic agents of breast neoplasms
Journal of International Oncology 2009;36(7):521-524
The cell adhesion molecule CD44 antigen correlates with the antineoplastic agents resistance of breast neoplasms closely. Its high expression can enhance the invasion of the breast neoplasms. CD44 mole-cule can affect the expression of the TGF-β of breast neoplasm cells to induce the resistance to tamoxifen. The influence on erbB-2 cell signal pathway result in the resistance to the trastuzumab. CD44 can strengthen the re-sistance to anthracene nucleus by inducing expression of protein MRP2 and inhibiting the topoismerase. The modulation of survivn and multidrug resistance gene intensifies the resistance to paclitaxel.

5.Propofol intervention affects spinal cord edema and hindlimb electrophysiology in a model of spinal cord injury
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(5):640-645
BACKGROUND:A large number of studies have verified that propofol could effectively reduce secondary nerve injury by improving microenvironment of spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of propofol on spinal cord edema and electrophysiology of the hind limb in rats with spinal cord injury. METHODS: Rat models of acute spinal cord injury were established by using the modified Alen method. A total of 40 rat models were randomly divided into spinal cord injury group and propofol group (n=20). Rats in the propofol group were injected with propofol through the caudal vein. The spinal cords of an additional 20 rats were exposed in the sham surgery group. Motor function was evaluated using BBB score and inclined plate test before modeling, 1, 3 days, 1-4 weeks after modeling. Neuronal apoptosis was detected after spinal cord injury using TUNEL assay at 72 hours after modeling. AQP4/9, matrix metaloproteinases 9/2 mRNA and protein expressions were measured using RT-PCR and western blot assay. At 4 weeks after modeling, pathological changes of the spinal cord were observed using immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Neurophysiological recovery was analyzed using motor evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) At 1-4 weeks after modeling, BBB score and inclined plate test score were higher in the propofol group than in the spinal cord injury group (P < 0.05), but lower than in the sham surgery group (P < 0.05). (2) The number of apoptotic cels was significantly more in the spinal cord injury group than in the propofol group (P < 0.05). No apoptotic cels were found in the sham surgery group. (3) At 72 hours after spinal cord injury, AQP4/9 and matrix metaloproteinases 9/2 mRNA and protein expression was higher in the propofol group than in the sham surgery group (P < 0.05). AQP4/9 and matrix metaloproteinases 9/2 mRNA and protein expression was significantly reduced in the propofol group (P < 0.05). (4) At 4 weeks after modeling, the spinal cord was loose, and the cavity was smal. Partial neuronal necrosis could be seen. The degree of nerve fiber density in the propofol group was between the sham surgery group and spinal cord injury group. (5) Motor evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials were obviously recovered, the latency was short, amplitude was increased in the propofol group, which showed significant differences as compared with the sham surgery group and the spinal cord injury group (P< 0.05). Results suggested that propofol can reduce apoptosis in rat neurons after spinal cord injury, reduce spinal cord edema-related gene expression, and improve electrophysiological function and limb motor function.

8.Imaging features of thirteen cases of coronary-to-bronchial artery micro-fistula and the related clinical analyses
Chinese Journal of Radiology 2015;(8):586-589
Objective To investigate imaging features and clinical characteristics of the small coronary-bronchial artery fistula (CBF). Methods By retrospective analysis of image data from May 2007 to November 2011 for coronary angiography in 30 284 patients without chronic lung or pulmonary vascular disease patients, 13 cases of small CBF (diameter of the end of fistula near coronary artery< 2 mm) were detected. Incidence of CBF was counted, its morphology was described, and its clinical features were preliminarily analyzed and summarized. Independent sample t test and χ2 test were used to compare diameters and incidences of CBF originatng from left and right coronary arteries. Results In this study primary CBF detection rate was 0.043%(13/30 284). The ends of CBFs near coronary arteries were slender and their diameter average was (1.57 ± 0.75) mm. In this study all of the CBF were from the right coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery, finding no cases starting from the left anterior descending coronary artery. There was no significant difference between incidence of CBFs originating from the right coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery coronary and the diameters of CBFs. In 13 cases of CBF, 9 cases of myocardial ischemic symptoms were caused by coronary artery stenosis, which was proven by angiography;Four cases without myocardial ischemic symptoms or with very atypical symptoms were finally diagnosed as cardiac neurosis. After branching, the CBF diameters of these coronary arteries were seen no evindently reduced, which suggested that the coronary bypass had less blood flow, and therefore had no significant hemodynamic significance. Conclusions Congenital CBF can exist in populations without chronic lung or pulmonary vascular disease. The main image features are that their diametes were small and all originate from the right coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery. The most fundamental clinical features are that there're no symptoms of myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery steal and no obviously hemodynamic significance. It is important to well recognize this type of CBF for enriching radiographic knowledge, identifying various anatomic variations, and carrying out clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of ATP-binding cassette protein E 1 (ABCE1) gene silencing by electroporation on the survival,cell cycle and invasion of human glioma cells line U87MG.Methods The siRNA against ABCE1 was constructed and transfected into U87MG cells by electroporation.The expression of ABCE1 was detected by real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot.Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis.The effects of ABCE1 gene silencing by electroporation on proliferation,migration and invasion of U87MG cell line were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay,wound closure assay,chemotactic migration,and cell invasive experiments,respectively.Results Compared to the control and blank groups,the mRNA and protein levels were significantly decreased in the experimental group when ABCE1 gene silencing by electroporation.The cell cycle was arrested at G0/G1 phase,and cell number in S phase was decreased in U87MG cell line (P < 0.05).The cell growth inhibition ratio in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control and blank groups (P <0.01).Compared to the control and blank groups,the experimental group U87MG cell proliferation was inhibited significantly (P < 0.05).Scratch healing experiments showed the experimental group migration ability was decreased significantly (P < 0.05).Transwell chamber method showed the experimental group U87MG cell invasion ability was decreased significantly (P < 0.05).Conclusions ABCE1 is involved in the progression of human glioma cells,and inhibiting the expression of ABCE1 by electroporation can decrease migration,invasion,and proliferation ability of tumor cells in vitro.
10.Propofol with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation improves the hind limb function and electrophysiological changes in rats with spinal cord injury
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(41):6659-6664
BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can be used to repair neurons, but have no ideal outcomes on nervous system injuries. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation combined with propofol on the hind limb function and electrophysiological changes of rats with spinal cord injury. METHODS:Eighty adult Wistar rats were selected to make animal models of spinal cord injury, and then randomized into four groups (n=20): bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel group, control group, combination group, propofol group. At 6 hours after modeling, rats in these four groups were injectedvia the tail vein with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel suspension, cel culture medium, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel suspension+propofol solution, and propofol solution using a 1 mL syringe, respectively. Rat motor function was assessed by Basso Beattie Bresnahan score, modified Tarlov score and inclined plane test before and at 1 day, 3 days, 1-4 weeks after modeling. Under fluorescence microscope, the survival and distribution of PKH-26-labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were observed at 4 weeks after modeling, and meanwhile, hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for pathological observation. Horseradish peroxidase tracer analysis was performed to analyze regeneration of nerve fibers, and motor and somatosensory evoked potentials were used to analyze the neurophysiological recovery of rats. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The motor function of the rat hind limb recovered best in the combination group, better in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel group and propofol group, but worse in the control group. (2) There were a smal amount of nerve axon-like structures and smal syringomyelia in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel group and propofol group, but the combination group had more axon-like structures and no syringomyelia. In the control group, no axons but spinal cord defects and syringomyelia formed. (3) The amount of horseradish peroxidase-positive nerve fibers and the number of PKH-26 positive cels were ranked as folows: control group < propofol group and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel group < combination group. There were significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05). (4) The latencies of motor and somatosensory evoked potentials were ranked as folows: control group> propofol group and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel group > combination group, and there were significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05). (5) Amplitudes of motor and somatosensory evoked potentials were arranged as folows: control group < propofol group and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel group < combination group, and the differences were statisticaly significant (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that both propofol and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can promote synaptic regeneration and improve the electrophysiological function and motor function of rats with spinal cord injury. Their combination has a better role than propofol and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels used alone.
