It is involved in series of molecular markers,among which vascular endothelial growth factor and endothelial growth factor receptor are the major targets.

Objective To determine the efficacy of stent based rapamycin (Rapa) and methotrexate (MTX) alone or in combination of them to reduce in stent neointimal hyperplasia Rapamycin is a potent immunosuppressive agent that inhibits smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression Methods Stents were coated with PLGA (poly/lactic co glycolic acid) polymer containing 68-96 ?g Rapa or 250-300 ?g MTX or 58-81 ?g Rapa and 120-170 ?g MTX respectively Twenty five stents (metal, n =8; MTX, n =5; Rapa, n =7; Rapa and MTX, n =5) were implanted in the coronary arteries of 25 pigs Results After 28 days, the mean neointimal thickness was (2 18?1 03) mm 2 in the bare metal stent group; (0 94?0 88) mm 2 in the Rapa group; (0 47?0 24) mm 2 in the combination Rapa and MTX group, (3 93?1 48) mm 2 in the MTX group Compared with metal group the mean neointimal thickness was significantly decresed in Rapa groups and combined group The in stent restenosis was 25% (2/8) in metal group and 80% (4/5) in MTX group after 28 days, and there was no restenosis in the other two groups Conclusion Stent based delivery of Rapa via PLGA polymer can feasibly and effectively reduce in stent neointimal hyperplasia by inhibiting cellular proliferation However there are no effects to reduce in stent neointimal hyperplasia by MTX eluting stents in this study

Objective To investigate the effect of parathyroid hormone(PTH)on the proliferation and invasion of chondrosarcoma cells,and the relationship between PTH and the regulation of primary cilia expression.Methods After stimulation of the chondrosarcoma cell line SW1353 with different concentrations of PTH,induction of the expression of cilia with hypoxia and destruction of cilia structure with chloral hydrate,the cell viability was detected by CCK8 assay,the proliferation and invasion of SW1353 by Western blotting and Transwell method,the primary cilia expression by immunofluorescence assay and the GLI1,PTCH1 and IFT88 expression levels by real-time PCR.Results PTH could promote the proliferation of chondrosarcoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner and this effect was correlated with the structural integrity of the primary cilia.PTH could up-regulate the invasive ability of SW1353 cells and increase the expression levels of MMP9,which was suppressed when the primary cilia structure was damaged.Additionally,it was found that PTH could down-regulate the number of primary cilia,which was related to the structural integrity of the primary cilia.It could also regulate the expression levels of GLI1 and PTCH1,the target genes in Hedgehog pathway,and the expression levels of IFT88,the gene associated with the cilia function.Conclusion PTH can promote the proliferation and invasion of chondrosarcoma cells,down-regulate the expression of primary cilia and the downstream target genes.PTH may regulate the malignant biological features of chondrosarcoma by regulating the primary cilia expression.

Objective To investigate the feasibilty of the disposable tracheotomy tube as trocar in the electronic bronchoscope instead of thoracoscope. Methods 86 patients with effusion of unknown origin undergoing medical tho-racoscopy from January 2015 to October 2015, 59 male (68.6%) and 27 female (31.4 %), mean age (49.00 ± 20.00) years (15 ~ 83) years, were randomly divided into two groups, Tracheostomy tube group (group T) and Conventional chest tube group (group C). Group T uses disposable cannula tracheostomy tube as trocar, and group C received conventional medical thoracoscopy chest tube. Then compare the positive rate of pathological diagnosis, operation time, inspection fees, and other adverse reactions between the two groups. Results 40 cases (93.0%) in group T were confirmed diagnosis, including 8 cases of lung pleural metastasis, 31 cases of erculous pleurisy, 1 case of empyema, while 4 cases of unknown diagnosis (7.0%). 33 cases (76.7%) in group C were confirmed diagnosis, in-cluding 4 cases of lung pleural metastasis, 29 cases of tuberculous pleurisy, while 10 cases of unknown diagnosis (23.3 %). The difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( < 0.05). Operative time in group T was (23.86 ± 2.45) minutes, while in group C was (29.88 ± 3.67) minutes, the difference was statistically significant ( <0.05). While the complication rate was no significant difference. Conclusions It is demonstrated that the dispos-able tracheotomy tube as trocar in the electronic bronchoscope instead of thoracoscope which can shorten the opera-tion time, improve the diagnosis rate, reduce costs, worthy of promoting.

Objective To explore influence of perioperative protection from hypothermia on surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing gastroenteritic operation. Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 1536 patients undergoing gastroenteritic operation in general surgery department of our hos-pital.Patients (764 cases) admitted before July 2006 were set as the control group,while those after July 2006(772 cases) were set as the observation group. The observation group received a series of measures for protection from hypothermia besides of routine perioperative nursing.The control group only adopted routine perioperative nursing.The SSI rate was compared between the two groups. Results The SSI rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(P < 0.01 ). Conclusions Incidence of periop-erative hypothermia in patients undergoing gastroenteritic operation can increase the SSI rate.Appropriate measures for protection from hypothermia can prevent the incidence of hypothermia as well as SSI.

The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of microencapsulation on the expression of the oxidative stress genes and exogenous regulation of HepG2 cells. We compared the expression of hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) and glutathione S-transferases-A1 (GST-A1) in HepG2 cells under different culture conditions through real-time PCR. The effects of exogenous antioxidants on cell viability and albumin levels were also evaluated through MTT assay and ELISA assay. The results showed that after culturing for 6 and 16 days, the expression levels of HO-1 in encapsulated cells were approximately 4.9 and 3.1 times higher than that of monolayer cells at the same culture period; As for the expression levels of GST-A1, they were elevated to 11.2 and 33 times of monolayer cells (P < 0.05). Accordingly, we found that NAC at 5-10 mmol/L significantly increased the viability by 40%-70% and the biosynthetic function by 20%-30% in microencapsulated HepG2 cells (P < 0.05). GSH increased the viability of the encapsulated cells by 20%-55% and the biosynthetic function by 15% (P < 0.05). In conclusion, oxidative stress exists in the microcapsules and affects genes expression. Exogenous antioxidants can prevent the inhibition effects of oxidative stress on cellular growth.
