Background Lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma (LGPA) is the most common epithelialneoplasms of the lacrimal glands.Though its histopathological feature is benign,recurrence and malignant transition iscommon.The histopathologica feature of LGPA vary and resemble other lacrimal gland tumors.Objective Thissurvey was to explore the histopathological features of different subtypes of LGPA and their relationships with tumorrecurrence,and improve the knowledge of histopathological characteristics of LGPA.Methods A retrospectivestudy of 181 consecutive cases pathologically diagnosed as LGPA during 1966- 2010 years was performed toinvestigate the clinical and histopathological characteristics.Results One hundred and eighty-one LGPAs wereclassified as cell-rich type in 90(49.7％ ),stroma-rich type in 38 cases(21％ ),and intermediate type in 53 cases(29.3％ ).91.7％ of all tumors showed areas with thin( ＜20 μm) capsules independent of the tumor subtype.Tumorsof stroma-rich subtype showed greater thin-capsule regions.86.5％ recurrent LGPAs belonged to stroma-rich subtype(x2 =120.896,P =0.000 ),which had a higher rate of pseudopodia or satellite nodules in the capsules than other twosubtypes did(x2 =80.715,P =0.000 ).Cuboidal cells were the most commonly found cellular type followed bysquamous cells.Duct-like structures were the most frequent patterns formed mainly by epithelial cells.Myxoid stromawas the most frequently found mesenchymal-like tissue.Conclusions The tendency of recurrence and invadationof capsule may contributed to the high recurrence rate in stroma-rich type of LGPAs.The knowledge of the immensevariety of cells,architectures and morphological characteristics of LGPA are essential for a correction of pathologicaldiagnosis.

Pololike kinase 1(Plk1)contain an Nterminal Ser/Thr kinase catalytic domain and a Cterminal region that contains two poloboxes.As a key regulator of multiple steps during cell cycle across eukaryotic species,many proteins interact with Plk1.Plk1 is highly expressed in malignant cells and serves as a negative prognostic marker in specific human cancer types.Plk1 is a potential target for cancer therapy.Some novel smallmolecule inhibitors of pololike kinase 1 provide novel opportunities for cancerdrug discovery,such as BI 2536,ON01910.

Objective To investigate the regulation of T cells in the process of liver regeneration using a model of mice after 70% liver resection.Methods We performed 70% hepatectomy in T-cell-deficient mice and control mice.The liver mass and body mass ratio, BrdU infiltration level, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA),expression of M phase marker protein p-HDAC3, and serum transaminase levels were measured.Results The recovery of liver mass and body mass ratio of thymus-deficient mice occurred significantly later than that of control mice.The peak time of BrdU infiltration levels and the expression of PCNA and p-HDAC3 in T-cell-deficient mice were later than in control mice, but the degree of liver injury was lower.Conclusion T cells are involved in the regulation of liver regeneration, and the absence of T cells delays the process of liver regeneration.

BACKGROUND:Longbie Capsule has satisfactory outcomes in the treatment of osteoarthritis, but its mechanism is stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Longbie Capsule on proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. METHODS:The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from SD rats were separated and expanded by whole adherence culture, then subcultured and confirmed by morphological observation and flow cytometry. Passage 4 cel s were cultured in complete media containing 5 g/L, 1 g/L, 250 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 10 mg/L Longbie Capsule, respectively, for 24 hours. Then, MTT assay was used to detect cel viability.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The primary cel s were adherent cel s characterized by irregular shape, passage 2 cel s were typical y fibrous-shaped, passage 3 cel s grew in long fibrous and swirl-type shape. Passage 4 cel s were strongly positive for CD29 and CD90, positive for CD44, and negative for CD34 and CD45. 5 g/L and 1 g/L Longbie Capsule promoted the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. These findings indicate that Longbie Capsule may promote the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, thereby playing a therapeutic effect on osteoarthritis.

OBJECTIVETo explore the application of sinusitis mixture (SM) in endoscopic sinussurgery, thereby improving clinical curative rate of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps.

METHODSA totalof 50 chronic sinusitis patients were equally assigned to the experimental group (nasal douching by SM)and the control group (nasal douching by Compound Sodium Chloride Injection). Mucosa tissue 0.1 cmbefore natural opening was collected before surgery, at week 4, 12, and 24 after surgery. Changes ofmucosa cilia cells, goblet cells, stroma of mucosal membrane, inflammatory cells, and mucous glandwere observed. The numbers of goblet cells in the upper epithelia and ciliated cells, as well as their ratioswere calculated.

RESULTSThere was statistical difference in cavity cleaning time, cavity mucosal epithelization time, numbers of goblet cells in the upper epithelia and ciliated cells, as well as their ratio between the two groups (t = -2.342, -2.015, -2.145, respectively; P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSM could effectively promote and accelerate cleaning and mucosal epithelization of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, and significantly promote mucosal ciliary structure and function recovery of ostium-meatus nasicomplex.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effect of reinforcing Shen method (RSM) and activating blood method (ABM) in treating osteoarthritis (OA) at the molecular level.

METHODSThe physical and chemical characteristics of components from respective recipes of RSM and ABM, and network features of component-target interaction network were analyzed by computer simulation methods including chemical space, molecular docking, and biological network, etc.

RESULTSThe chemical components of RSM and ABM were scarcely scattered with larger overlapping. Among established networks, the distribution of network features was partially similar in RSM and ABM. The average target number correlated with each component was 1.86 in RSM and 2.11 in ABM respectively. Each average target number was respectively correlated with 4.46 compounds and 3.93 compounds, reflecting multi-component and multi-target actions.

CONCLUSIONComputer simulation could intuitively trace out similarities and differences of two different methods and their interaction with targets, which revealed that the compatibility of RSM and ABM could have broader protein targets and potential synergism at the molecular level.
