Primary tracheal tumors are relatively rare. Here we report one case of primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea which was ever misdiagnosed as asthma and hysteria. In this case, the pulmonary function test was normal, and firstly no obvious abnormalities were found in laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy and CT scan of chest. Later a sagittal and coronal reconstruction CT scan of trachea showed a mass situated in the subglottic trachea. Lastly a laryngoscopy was again done after a tracheal incision and showed a small mass in the posterior wall of the subglottic trachea, and tumor ablation was performed. In addition, we reviewed the literature of primary tracheal tumors and summarized the epidemiology, presenting features, available therapeutic options of the disease.

Objective To explore whether human umbilical venous endothelial cells could be used as feeder layer to support the growth of embryonic stem cells (ESC) and keep ESC undifferentiated.Methods The venous vessels of umbilical cord obtained from healthy puerperal were perfused with collagenase.The isolated endothelial cells went through primary culture and passages for expansion.Factor Ⅷ antigens determination was implemented.Endothelial cells with good growth and 3 or above passages were treated with mitomycin-C(10 mg/L) and prepared as feeder layer,on which E14.1 ESC was transplanted for subculturing to observe the morphological characterization and determine ESC alkaline psphatase (AKP) activity and the expression of stem cell marker Oct-4.Severe combined immune deficiency(SCID) mouse in vivo terotoma formation experiment was performed to identify its pluripotent properties.Results Human umbilical vein-derived endothelial cells grew well in culturing in vitro and regenerate in large numbers.The endothelial cells maintained normal cellular morphological and biological characterization after 10 passages.The cells stopped proliferating after being treated with mitomycin-C,but its activity and morphological properties were well-maintained with 24 hours,which was a fundamental property of serving as feeder layer.E14.1 ESC remained undifferentiated in human umbilical venous endothelial cells after 3-8 passages,the cells grew in colony and showed high expression of AKP and stem cell Oct-4.In vivo pluripotency experiment showed that 6 weeks after being transplanted to SCID mice E14.1 ESC of 6 and 10 passages in endothelial cells both could form teratoma containing 3 layers of tissue cells.Conclusions Human umbilical venous endothelial cell serve as a convenient feeder layer cell with rich sources.It can effectively support ESC growth and heterogenous and prevent the heterogeneous protein pollution and pathogenic microorganisms caused by animal cell feeder layers,thus solve the problem of biological safety of ESC clinical application.

The growth inhibition and pro-apoptosis effects of dracorhodin perchlorate on human prostate cancer PC-3 cell line were examined. After administration of 10-80 μmol/L dracorhodin perchlorate for 12-48 h, cell viability of PC-3 cells was measured by MTT colorimetry. Cell proliferation ability was detected by colony formation assay. Cellular apoptosis was inspected by acridine orange-ethidium bromide fluorescent staining, Hoechst 33258 fluorescent staining, and flow cytometry (FCM) with annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide dual staining. The results showed that dracorhodin perchlorate inhibited the growth of PC-3 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. IC50 of dracorhodin perchlorate on PC-3 cells at 24 h was 40.18 μmol/L. Cell clone formation rate was decreased by 86% after treatment with 20 μmol/L of dracorhodin perchlorate. Some cells presented the characteristic apoptotic changes. The cellular apoptotic rates induced by 10-40 μmol/L dracorhodin perchlorate for 24 h were 8.43% to 47.71% respectively. It was concluded that dracorhodin perchlorate significantly inhibited the growth of PC-3 cells by suppressing proliferation and inducing apoptosis of the cells.

Objective To screen for differential expression of genes in bone marrow mesenchymal stem ceils (MSCs) stimulated by electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and to study the mechanism of differentiation of the bone mar- row MSCs induced by EMFs.Methods Mouse bone marrow MSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro.The third- passage cells were stimulated by EMFs,then the total RNA was extracted,purified to cDNA and reversely transcribed to yield a cRNA probe.The cRNA probes from stimulated and control cells were labelled with Cy5 and Cy3,respec- tively.The two samples were hybridized with a mouse oligo microarray,and the hybridization signals were scanned. The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to identify the interesting genes:Duspl and Rabl.Results A total of 153 differentially expressed genes were found comparing the stimulated group and the control group.There were 74 up-regulated genes and 79 down-regulated genes in the stimulated group.Semi-quantita- tive RT-PCR confirmed that the Duspl and Rabl mRNA expression levels of the stimulated group were up-regulated. Conclusion The gene expression profiles of the bone marrow MSCs were altered after EMF exposure.The genes are involved in cell proliferation and differentiation,transcription control,metabolism and response to stress.These re- sults provide deeper insight into the mechanism of differentiation of the bone marrow MSCs.

Objective To study the effects of 50 Hz magnetic fields on the in vitro proliferation of human osteosareoma cell line MG-63 with different cell densities.Methods Four different magnetic intensities(1 mT, 2 mT,3 roT,4 mT)were used to stimulate the cells,and the experiment was repeated with different cell densities. The method of MTT was employed to evaluate the level of proliferation.Results Fifty Hz magnetic fields signifi- cantly affected the level of proliferation of human osteosareoma cell line MG-63,and the 2 mT intensity exerted the greatest influence on it.The effects of the magnetic field differed with different cell densities.Conclusion The effect of 50 Hz magnetic fields on the in vitro proliferation of human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 was not only relat- ed to the magnetic intensity,but also the cell density,
