OBJECTIVETo investigate modulatory role of Rac1 protein in epidermal stem cell (ESC) migration during wound healing, in order to provide a reference for enriching basic theory of wound healing and guiding clinical application.

METHODSConstitutively active mutant of Rac1 protein (Rac1Q61L) or dominant negative isoform of Rac1 protein (Rac1T17N) was transfected into ESC using a retroviral vector FUGW, and retroviral vector FUGW transfected into ESC in singles was used as blank control. The cells were divided into 3 parts according to the random number table and treated as follows. First, equal numbers of cells were inoculated into 24-well plates coated with collagen I (20 µg/mL), collagen IV (20 µg/mL) or fibronectin (10 µg/mL). Cells adhered to above matrices were quantitated using CytoTox 96 colorimetric kit. Second, 1000 cells adhered to collagen IV, after being stained with tetramethyl rhodamine isothiocyanate-phalloidin, were collected for observation of cell morphology and comparison of spreading area under confocal laser scanning microscope. Third, ESC with density of 2 × 10(5) cells per well were placed in upper compartment of Transwell chamber, DK-SFM culture medium alone or that containing stromal cell derived factor 1 (SDF-1) was added into lower compartment of Transwell chamber. Migration of ESC was observed using inverted phase contrast microscope, and the result was denoted as migration rate. Lastly, ESC with density of 7.5 × 10(5) cells per well was inoculated into 6-well plates for 12 hours, and treated with 4 µg/mL mitomycin C for 2 hours. The remaining scratch width of monolayer was respectively measured 6 hours or 12 hours after scratching to calculate the percentage of remaining scratch width. Data were processed with t test.

RESULTSCompared with that of blank control, the number of Rac1Q61L-transfected cells adhered to collagen I was significantly increased (t = 5.302,P < 0.05), while the number of Rac1T17N-transfected cells adhered to collagen I, IV, and fibronectin were all obviously decreased (with t value respectively 13.741, 15.676, 8.256, P values all below 0.05). Confocal laser scanning microscope showed that spreading area of Rac1Q61L-transfected ESC (with laminate pseudopodia on edge) and Rac1T17N-transfected ESC was respectively larger and smaller as compared with that of blank control. With SDF-1 effect, the migration rate of Rac1T17N-transfected ESC was decreased by 78.0% and Rac1Q61L-transfected ESC was increased by 43.4% as compared with that of blank control. Without SDF-1 effect, the migration rate of Rac1T17N-transfected ESC was decreased by 55.2%, while the migration rate of Rac1Q61L-transfected ESC was close to that of blank control. Six or 12 hours after scratching, the percentage of remaining scratch width in Rac1Q61L-transfected ESC was lower as compared with that in blank control [(39 ± 9)% vs. (43 ± 5)%, (6 ± 5)% vs. (18 ± 7)%, with t value respectively 1.027, 4.389, with P value respectively above and below 0.05], while that in Rac1T17N-transfected ESC [(81 ± 9)%, (71 ± 11)%, respectively] was obviously higher as compared with that in blank control (with t value respectively 11.386, 11.726, P values all below 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSRac1 protein may control the migration of ESC by regulating its adhesion, spreading, and chemotaxis, and it plays an active role in wound healing accelerated by ESC.

This study was purposed to construct the recombinant hF9 minigene and its stable nonsense mutant cell lines, and to investigate its significance. Minigene hF9 was cloned into the mammalian expression vector pCMV-Tag3B; a nonsense mutant containing a premature termination codon (PTC) in the 121(st) amino acid residue was obtained by PCR site-directed mutagenesis; minigene hF9 and nonsense mutant were respectively transfected into HepG2 cells with G418 treatment to get stable HepG2-WT and HepG2-N cell lines. The results confirmed that the minigene hF9 and nonsense mutant were constructed successfully. The gene of interest was amplified by RT-PCR from the stable cell lines, and the minigene hF9 was expressed in the stable cell lines. It is concluded that the recombinant hF9 minigene and its stable nonsense mutant cell lines are constructed successfully. The cell lines can be used to screen the drugs treating the nonsense mutation-caused hemophilia according to PTC read-through approaches.

Objective To detect the expression of DJ-1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and to study the relationship between DJ-1 expression and clinical indexes of LSCC. Methods The expressions of DJ-1 protein in 71 LSCC samples and 9 cases control samples from laryngeal mucosa tissues of non-LSCC patients were detected using streptavidin peroxidase immunohistochemistry stainin and the relationships between DJ-1 protein expression and clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed. Results ( 1 ) The positive expression rate of DJ-1 protein in LSCC was 85.9% (61/71), which was significantly higher than the rate (55.5% ,5/9) in control laryngeal mucosa tissues (P<0.05). (2) DJ-1 expression was related to tumor recurrence (P <0. 05) ,but not to sex,age,primary cancer position,T stage, clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation. Tumor recurrence rate (53. 3% ) in the patients with higher expression of DJ-1 protein was higher than the rate ( 26. 8% ) in the patients with lower expression of DJ-1 protein ( X2 = 5. 164, P < 0. 05 ). (3 ) With Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis,the cumulative 5-year survival rates were correlated with DJ-1 expression levels in laryngeal cancer tissues or cervical lymph node metastasis (all P < 0. 05 ), but not to sex, age, primary cancer position, T stage, clinical stage and tumor differentiation. Conclusions The expression of DJ-1 protein in LSCC is higher than that in control laryngeal mucous tissues. Overexpression of DJ-1 is associated with poor overall survival in ISCC patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical relevant factors causing laryngeal stenosis after partial laryngectomy.

METHODSA retrospective study was carried out to review the history clinical data from 138 patients of partial laryngectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University between January 1994 to October 2004. The clinical relevant factors causing laryngeal stenosis were included as follows: age, sex, TNM stage, tumor site, extension of thyroid cartilage defect, extension of larynx parenchyma defect, reconstruction method, laryngeal dilator, duration of using antibiotics, postoperative radiotherapy, lung infection, gastroesophageal reflux, diabetes. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression model was used for the analysis.

RESULTSOf 138 cases after partial laryngectomy, stenosis developed in 25 cases. The occurrence rate was 18.1%. In multivariate analysis, it was confirmed that the following factors correlated to laryngeal stenosis, i. e, extension of thyroid cartilage defect (chi2 = 4.323, P = 0.038), postoperative radiotherapy (chi2 = 6.002, P = 0.014), lung infection (chi2 = 4.220, P = 0.040), and gastroesophageal reflux (chi2 = 5.614, P = 0.018).

CONCLUSIONSThe clinical relevant factors causing laryngeal stenosis after partial laryngectomy were multiple. Statistical analysis showed that extension of thyroid cartilage defect, postoperative radiotherapy, lung infection and gastroesophageal reflux were the risk factors which may cause laryngeal stenosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the promotion effect of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) on the migration of epidermal stem cells (ESC) in the healing process of frostbite-wound model ex vivo.

METHODSA three-dimensional model of full-thickness frostbite of skin was constructed (with slot-like wound) out of skin equivalent. The expression of SDF-1 in wound stroma was observed with immunohistochemistry staining on post injury days (PID) 3 and 7. The model frostbite wounds were divided into control group (treated with PBS 50 microL per wound), SDF-1 group (treated with 100 ng/mL SDF-1, 50 microL per wound), and AMD3100 group [treated with 100 ng/mL AMD3100 (50 microL per wound) for 30 minutes, and then SDF-1 50 microL was added per wound]. The redistribution of ESC around wound was observed.

RESULTSThe expression of SDF-1 in wound stroma increased gradually on PID 3 and 7. Compared with those in control and AMD3100 groups, there were more ESC and epithelial cell layers, and more integrin beta(1)-positive cells appeared at the basal layer of wound in SDF-1 group, and some of the positive cells migrated upward to epidermis.

CONCLUSIONSSDF-1 contributes to wound repair through promoting ESC to migrate toward and gather around wound edge. This may be one of the mechanisms of ESC participating in wound repair.

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the feasibility, safety, and technical strategies of hand-assisted laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (HAL-CME) and to compare oncological outcomes between HAL-CME and the open approach (O-CME) for right colon cancers. METHODS: Patients who were scheduled to undergo a right hemicolectomy were divided into HAL-CME and O-CME groups. Measured outcomes included demographic variables, perioperative parameters, and follow-up data. Demographic variables included age, sex distribution, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification, previous abdominal surgery, tumor localization, and potential comorbidities. Perioperative parameters included incision length, operative time, blood loss, conversion rate, postoperative pain score, postoperative first passage of flatus, duration of hospital stay, total cost, number of lymph nodes retrieved, TNM classification, and postoperative complications. Follow-up data included follow-up time, use of chemotherapy, local recurrence rate, distant metastasis rate, and short-term survival rate. RESULTS: In total, 150 patients (HAL-CME, 78; O-CME, 72) were included. The groups were similar in age, sex distribution, BMI, ASA classification, history of previous abdominal surgeries, tumor localization, and potential comorbidities. Patients in the HAL-CME group had shorter incision lengths, longer operative times, less operative blood loss, lower pain scores, earlier first passage of flatus, shorter hospital stay, higher total costs, similar numbers of lymph nodes retrieved, similar TNM classifications, and a comparable incidence of postoperative complications. The 2 groups were also similar in local recurrence rate, distant metastasis rate, and short-term survival rate. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that the HAL-CME procedure is a safe, valid, and feasible surgical method for right hemicolon cancers.
