Background and purpose:Numerous researches indicated that the expression of pituitary tumor transforming gene1 (PTTG1) was correlated with the severity of glioma tumors. However the specific mechanism of PTTG1 is not clear in glioma. In this study, we explored the role and significance of PTTG1 in the invasion of glioma cells. Methods:Western blot was used to detect the expression of PTTG1 protein in various glioma cell lines. siRNA plasmid was used to transfect U87 cells. Western blot was used to analyze the expression of PTTG1 protein in transfected U87 cells. Matrigel invasion assay was used to detect the invasive ability in the cells being transfected in vitro. Western blot was used to analyze epithelial growth factor (EGF) induced protein phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt in the cells being transfected PTTG1 plasmid (siPTTG1/U87) and scrambled siRNA (Scr/U87). Results:The expression of PTTG1 protein was higher in all glioma cell lines. After transfection, the invasion of siPTTG1/U87 was obviously decreased after 5 min with EGF stimulation than the Scr/U87, the phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt was significantly enhanced. However, whether or not the existence of EGF, the phosphorylation of ARK5 and Akt had no differences in siPTTG1/U87. Conclusion:In glioma cells, PTTG1 protein is high expressed and maybe have an important function in glioma cells invasion through Akt-ARK5 signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: Total knee arthroplasty is a procedure for treatment of knee osteoarthritisa with standardized, mature technology and affirmative efficacy. Total knee arthroplasty can result in overt excessive bleeding, decreased hemoglobin levels, patient mouth infection and other complications. As a new technology, autologous blood transfusion device can effectively reduce the rate of blood transfusion through reinfusing the unwashed and filterable drainage blood after operation. Up to now, no systematic reviews incorporating meta-analyses have found directly sufficient evidence to compare autologous blood transfusion drainage and no drainage after primary total knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical efficacy, safety and potential advantages of the application of autologous blood transfusion device/no drainage based on the meta-analysis. METHODS:PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CBMdisc, China HowNet, VIP, Wanfang database were searched comprehensively by computer. The search strategies were developed by the way of MeSH terms combining with free words: “total knee replacement” OR “total knee arthroplasty” OR “total knee prosthesis” OR “unicompartmental” OR “unicondylar” OR “unicompartmenta” OR “arthroplasty, replacement, knee” [MeSH terms] AND “autologous blood transfusion” OR “Autotransfusion” OR “blood transfusion, autologous” [MeSH Terms] OR “Intraoperative Blood Salvage” OR “Intraoperative Blood” OR “Postoperative Blood Salvage” OR “Intraoperative Blood Cel Salvage” OR “Operative Blood Salvage” [MeSH Terms]. Data included in the final literature were analyzed using RevMan 5.3.5 software recommended by Cochrane. The main outcome measure was the rate of transfusion. The secondary outcome measures were the average change in hemoglobin, hemoglobin levels at the 3rd day, hospitalization time and intraoperative mouth infection rate. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Five randomized controlled trials, a total of 667 patients were enroled. Meta-analysis results showed that there were no significant differences in the transfusion rate (OR=0.73, 95%CI: 0.47-1.13;Z=1.41,P=0.16), average change in hemoglobin (WMD=0.20, 95%CI:-0.28-0.68;Z=0.82,P=0.41), the hemoglobin levels at the 3rdday (WMD=0.41, 95%CI:-0.26-1.09;Z=1.20,P=0.23), hospitalization time (OR=1.01, 95%CI: 0.06-16.27;Z= 0.01,P=1.00), intraoperative mouth infection rate (OR=1.01, 95%CI: 0.06-16.27;Z=0.01,P=1.00) between the postoperative use of autologous blood transfusion and no drainage. These results suggest that the meta-analysis of outcome measures has not provided the evidence-based medical support for the clinical efficacy of autologous blood transfusion device (including blood transfusion rate, the average change in hemoglobin, average hemoglobin change at the 3rd day, hospitalization time). Given the inherent limitations of the quality of the included studies and the publication bias, future high-quality, large-volume, multi-center randomized controled trials are awaited to confirm and update the findings of this analysis.

Objective To assess the clinical efficiency , safety and potential advantages of autologous blood transfusion (ABT) drains compared with the closed-suction/no drainage. Methods Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBMdisc, CNKI, VIP and WANGFANG were searched comprehensively. The statistical anal-ysis was conducted by using the Cochrane Collaboration review Manager 5.3.5. Results The pooled data of seventeen RCTs including a total of 1 993 patients showed that the patients in the ABT drainage group might benefit from the low rate of blood transfusion [ 16 . 59% and 37 . 47%, OR: 0 . 28 ( 0 . 14 ~ 0 . 55 ); 13 . 05% and 16.91%, OR: 0.73 (0.47 ~ 1.13), respectively]. The ABT drainage and the closed-suction drainage/no drainage have the similar clinical efficiency and safety length of hospital stay and wound infection on days 3 post-operative haemoglobin. Conclusion This systematic review provides the evidence that the ABT drainage offers a safe and efficient alternative to CS/no drainage with the lowered blood transfusion rate.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that low-intensity and short-time vibration with a certain frequency can reduce the absorption of bone tissue and increase the quantity and quality of bone through promoting the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of different frequencies of vibration strains on cycle, proliferation and differentiation potency of RAW264.7 cel s cultured in vitro.
METHODS:Passage 6 RAW264.7 cel s in good conditions were randomly divided into six groups, and each group was induced cultured with Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand. The final concentration of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand was adjusted to 50μg/L, and then kept without changes. The non-loading group did not loaded with vibration strain, and the other five groups were loaded with 3-10 Hz, 15-35 Hz, 35-45 Hz, 50-70 Hz and 70-90 Hz vibration strains on the RAW264.7 cel s respectively. The other vibration parameters were consistent;the vibration time was 15 min/time with the vibration intensity of 0.3 g, twice per day. The cel cycle and cel proliferation were detected at 3 and 6 days after loading of vibration strains.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After composite vibration loading for 6 days, the cel cycle phase in the vibration groups was changed to some extent when compared with the non-loading group. Compared with non-loading group, the cel number in the G 1 phase of the vibration group was significantly increased (P<0.01);the cel number in the S phase and G 2+M phase of the vibration group was significantly decreased (P<0.01);the vibration parameters in the vibration group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The results indicate that different frequencies of vibration strains can affect the cel cycle and proliferation, and can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the difference in mental health status of oral tumor patients and their spouses, and explore the differences on the basis of relevant materials.

METHODSForty patients with oral cancer, eighteen spouses, and thirty-five patients with oral benign tumor were diagnosed in the West China Hospital of Stomatology between December 2011 and August 2012 and assessed with symptom checklist-90 (SCL90) (the 5-grade scoring). Participants were assessed independently according to their conditions. Blood samples were obtained from the participants by syringe on the second admission day. A method was developed to determine the concentrations of catecholamine and glucocorticoid in the serum using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).

RESULTSThe scores for compel, depression and rests in the cancer group and benign tumor group were statistically significant (P<0.05). The scores for compel, dread and stubborn in the cancer group and their spouses were statistically significant (P<0.05). The differences between the total and other monomial factor scores were not statistically significant. However, the contents of epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisone and hydrocortisone in the serum, as determined by HPLC-MS/MS, were significantly different (P<0.001).

CONCLUSIONPsychiatric factors do not show a simple factor effect on patients. Symptoms of patients may be based on tumorigenesis and developed in small molecules. Further research is required.

Objective To investigate the expression patterns of ZEB2 and C-myc in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and the associations between their expressions and the pathological features of EOC. Methods The expressions of ZEB2 and C-myc proteins were detected immunohistochemically in 191 cervical cancer tissues and 13 normal ovarian tissues. The relationship between ZEB2 and C-myc protein expressions and the clinicopathological features of EOC was evaluated. Results ZEB2 positive expression ratea in EOC tissues and normal ovarian tissues were 49.2% (94/191) and 30.8% (4/13), respectively (P=0.007), and C-myc positive expression rates in the two tissues were 53.9%(103/191) and 15.4%(2/13), respectively (P=0.001). A high expression of ZEB2 was positively correlated with the pathological type of the tumor (P=0.003), FIGO stage (P=0.028), T stage (P=0.002), and N stage (P=0.04), and a high expression of C-myc was positively correlated with FIGO stage (P=0.035), histological grade (P=0.039), and T stage (P=0.002). C-myc and ZEB2 expressions were positively correlated in EOC (P<0.001), and their co-expression in EOC was significantly correlated with T stage (R=0.358, P<0.001) and FIGO stage (P=0.008). Conclusion ZEB2 and C-myc can promote the progression, invasion and metastasis of EOC, and their combined detection may assist in early diagnosis of EOC.
