AIM: The aim of the present study was to clar ify the mechanism of intracellular signal transduction in Ang II-induced prolife ration of vascular smooth muscular cells (VSMC) by observing the effect of c-Src on Ang II-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and c-Fos protein expression in cultured VSMC of rats. METHODS: Cultured aortic VSMCs from SD rats were transfected wit h anti-sense c-Src oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) wrapt with lipofectin to inhibit c-Src activity and protein production. Untransfected VSMCs were used as control . We observed the role of Ang II stimulation in MAPK activation and c-Fos protei n expression. c-Src kinase activity was measured by protein immunoprecipitation and kinase autophosphorylation. The phosphorylation rate of the substrate myeli n basic protein (MBP) was employed to assess MAPK activity. Western immunoblot w as used to detect protein expression of c-Src and c-Fos. RESULTS: c-Src protein expression in VSMC transfected with diffe rent concentrations of anti-sense ODNs significantly decreased in a negative dos e-effect manner. c-Src kinase activity was also markedly inhibited . Following t he stimulation of Ang II on transfected VSMCs with anti-sense ODNs, the increase rate of c-Src activity was 8.7% of that in control, the activity of MAPK was 1 .6% compared with control and c-Fos protein expression was as 30.0% as that of control. CONCLUSION: Ang II induces c-Src activation. MAPK activation and c-Fos protein expression by Ang II is dependent on c-Src activation. These find ings indicate that c-Src is an important signal factor in Ang II -induced VSMC proliferati on.

As China witnesses constant development of its market economy and gradual deepening of reform in its medical and health cause,the ability of domestic hospitals to adjust their operational management strategies in due course is crucially related to their survival and development amidst market competition.Hospital managers,while stressing quality and economic control,should attach special importance to the brand effect of their hospital and step up hospital brand building,the focus of which lies in patient satisfaction and loyalty and hospital popularity and reputation.Only in this way can they constantly create advantages,enhance core competitiveness and put their hospital in an invincible position amidst market competition.

The Eleventh Five-year Program period will be a very important period in the historical development of China;it will also be a key period for domestic hospitals to deepen reform and achieve steady growth.Doing a good job of the five years' work will be of great significance to promoting reform of the medical and health system,strengthening and developing the hard-won good situation,speeding up hospital construction and growth,and solving such problems facing the common citizens as "it is difficult and expensive to see a doctor".The authors offer suggestions and hope to arouse discussions as to how hospitals ought to formulate a Eleventh Five-year Program that will meet their own growth needs with the guidance of a scientific approach to development.

Objective To investigate the significance of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γexpression in the lung tissue of rats with chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPAH). Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=10 for each group):normal control group (NC), hypoxia control group-one-week (HC-1w), hypoxia control group-two-week (HC-2w) and hypoxia control group-three-week (HC-3w). Normal control group was raised under normal oxygen condition in ventilated animal cage for three weeks. The other HC groups were placed in a low oxygen chamber (O2 concentration of 10%) from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM (8 h/d) everyday by one week, two weeks and three weeks. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) were detected. The index of right ventricular hypertrophy RV/(LV+S) was measured by dissecting rat heart. The morphological changes of the small pul-monary arteries were observed by HE staining, and the percentage of vascular wall thickness (WT%) was calculated. The ex-pression level of PPARγprotein was detected by Westren blot assay. Results The mPAP, RVSP and RV/(LV+S) were sig-nificantly higher in HC groups than those of NC group (P<0.05). The morphology of pulmonary arteries showed vessel wall thickening and vessel lumina stenosis in HC groups compared with that of NC group. The PPARγexpression in lung tissue was significantly lower in HC groups than that of NC group, and the downward trend was more obvious with the extension of time. Conclusion PPARγplays an important role in the occurrence and development of chronic hypoxic pulmonary hyper-tension.

Allergic rhinitis (AR)and bronchial asthma often coexist in the same individual,in which they influence development and severity of each other.Both domestic and foreign research has showed that Syn-ergistic treatment to children with AR and asthma could be achieved by inhaled corticosteroids(ICS),oral leu-kotriene receptor antagonist and subcutaneous /sublingual allergen specific immunotherapy;collaborative manage-ment will be realized by doctors'Comprehensive clinical assessment,children and caregivers'self-assessment and chronic disease management tools.Collaborative treatment and management is significant to children with both allergic rhinitis and asthma.In addition,it has an edge in improving compliance of children and their parents during the treatment,the quality of childrens'life,and reducing burden of the diseases.

BACKGROUND:Thinking from ovarian cancer stem cel theory shows that: in the tumor cels, there are a fraction of stem cels with self-renewing ability and multipotent differentiation, which are the root causes of ovarian cancer recurrence and drug resistance. Studies have shown that CD90 can be used as a surface marker of mesenchymal stem cels and stem cels of other cancers.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the biological features of CD90+ tumor cels from ovarian cancer tissues.
METHODS: Primary ovarian cancer cels were isolated from the abdominal dropsy of ovarian cancer patients to sort CD90+ and CD90- cels using flow cytometry. RT-PCR was used to detect expressions of stem cel-related genes and epithelial to mesenchymal transition-related genes. Cel invasion was observed by Transwel invasion assay, cel proliferation and differentiation observed by clone formation assay, stem cel potential observed by suspension sphere-forming assay, and tumor formation rate observed byin vivo tumorigenicity experiment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the CD90- cels, the expressions of CD44, CD133, ALDH1, N-cad and Vimentine were significantly higher in the CD90+cels (P < 0.05), but the expression of E-cad was significantly decreased in the CD90+ cels (P < 0.05). Tumor formation rates of CD90- and CD90+ cels were increased significantly with the increase of seeded cel number, which was more obvious in CD90+ cels. The number of transmembrane cels, the number of cel clones and the number of suspended spheres were significantly higher in the CD90+ cels than the CD90- cels (P < 0.05). Experimental findings from this study show that CD90+ cels highly express epithelial to mesenchymal transition-related genes and stem cel-related genes, with higher invasion, proliferation and differentiation, in vivo tumorigenicity and potential of stem cels. CD90+ cel separation may be a new method to separate ovarian cancer stem cels.
