1.Progresses of ultrasonography in diagnosis of biliary atresia
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2017;33(4):628-631
Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of persistent jaundice in infant,it can rapidly advance to biliary cirrhosis and death.Surgical treatment in time can decrease mortality,so it is essential to be differentiated from other diseases as early as possible.Main diagnosis methods of BA include clinical feature of patients,liver biopsy,and high-frequen cy ultrasonography,MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP),hepatobiliary scintigraphy.High-frequency ultrasonography is superior to other methods with high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity.The progresses of ultrasonography in diagnosis of BA were reviewed in this article.

With the deepening of research in recent years, tumor metabolic reprogramming has gradually become the focus of research, and targeting tumor cell metabolism has also become a new means of tumor therapy. The metabolic process affects almost all the physiological processes of the organism, and lipid metabolism is an important part of the metabolic process. Studies have shown that changes in lipid uptake, storage and fatty acid synthesis and decomposition have occurred in a variety of tumors. Abnormal lipid metabolism will promote the rapid proliferation of tumors. Abnormal expression of a variety of key metabolic enzymes in the process of lipid metabolism is the key to tumor progression. The purpose of this paper is to explain the metabolic regulation of lipid metabolism and related metabolic enzymes in hematological tumors, and to provide ideas for the treatment of hematological tumors.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an important regulatory factor of cell proliferation and metastasis, involved in the occurrence and development of a variety of malignant tumors, and it is one of the hot spots in the research of targeted anti-tumor drugs. Our group screened a novel benzobis (imidazole) structure small molecule compound LZJ541 through the screening model of Janus kinase (JAK)/STAT3 pathway inhibitors, which has definite STAT3 inhibitory activity. We examined the effect of LZJ541 on the proliferation of HepG2 and PC-3 cells by MTT assay

Objecfive To study the effects of some cytokines such as TNF-α,IL-6 and IFN-γ as well as lipopolysaccharide on CD68 expression in HaCaT cells.Methods Human HaCaT keratinocytes were randomly divided into natural proliferation group (without stimulation),IFN-γ-stimulated group,TNF-α-stimulated group,LPS-stimulated group and IL-6 stimulated group.The work concentration of TNF-α,IL-6,IFN-γ and LPS was 50 mg/L.HaCaT cells were collected after 24-hour treatment with the cytokines followed by the examination of CD68 expression with flow cytometry,immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription(RT)-PCR,respectively.Results Compared with untreated HaCaT cells,the count of CD68-positive cells was elevated in cells stimulated by TNF-α(t=3.60,P<0.01),IL-6(t=3.93,P<0.01),IFN-γ(t=2.38,P<0.05)and LPS(t=2.52,P<0.05),and the effect of TNF-α and IL-6 was stronger than that of IFN-γ and LPS.Among the four cytokines,only IL-6 enhanced the mean fluorescence intensity of CD68-positive cells (t=8.34,P<0.01).After 24-hour treatment with TNF-α,IFN-γ and IL-6,CD68 expression was observed in the cytoplasm and on the membrane of HaCaT cells and was stronger in cells treated with TNF-α and IL-6 than in those with the other cytokines.A significant increase was observed in the CD68 mRNA expression after 24-hour treatment with TNF-α (t=4.34,P<0.01),IL-6 (t=7.52,P<0.01)and IFN-γ (t=2.81,P<0.05);TNF-α and IL-6showed a stronger promotive effect than IFN-γ.Conclusion IL-6,TNF-α,IFN-γ and LPS can upregulate the CD68 expression in HaCaT cells.

Objective To investigate the optimal ultrasound exposure parameter on H22 neoplasms of mice meditated by ultrasound exposure combined with self‐made nanobubbles ,and then observe their therapeutic effect combined with cisplatin and their possible mechanism of anti‐tumor . Methods Thirty mice engrafts models with subcutaneous H22 neoplasms were established and divided into 6 groups randomly ,which received ultrasound exposure at different intensity and exposure time . The contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging ( CEUS ) was performed in every group at the four time points of before treatment and at 0 h ,24 h ,72 h after treatment . To obtain the optimal ultrasound parameters ,the tumor inhibitory effect was assessed by enhanced intensity ( EI) and microvascular density ( MVD) . The H22 tumor were treated by ultrasound exposure nanobubbles combined with cisplatin to observe their tumor growth inhibition rate ,and the microvessels density and nuclear associated antigen Ki‐67 proliferation index were measured by immunohistochemical staining . Results There was a statistically difference in enhanced intensity (EI) between the experimental groups and control group ( P < 0 .05) . With the increasing of ultrasound intensity and exposure time ,the tumor inhibitory effect was more obvious ,with an increasing side reactions . Except the simple ultrasound group ,there was a statistical difference in tumor inhibition ,the mean MVD and the tumor cell proliferation index (KI‐67) between control group and the other ultrasound therapy groups ( P<0 .05) . The tumor inhibitory rate was the highest ( tumor inhibition rate 70 .0% ) and the mean MVD and KI‐67 expression were the lowest ( P <0 .05) in the combination group comparing with the others . Conclusions The ideal ultrasound exposure parameter of tumor inhibition showed that exposure intensity chose 1 W/cm2 and exposure time chose 1 min or 3 min intermittence . The ultrasound exposure self‐made nanobubbles combined with cisplatin could enhance the tumor inhibitory effect .Its mechanism may be related to the decrease of microvascular density ,the inbition of tumor cell proliferation and the increase of tumor cell necrosis .

ObjectiveTo detect specific antigens of neural cells in amniotic epithelial cells(AECs) in rats. MethodsAECs were dissociated and purified from the amnion of pregnancy 12—14 d rats. The expression of specific markers of neural stem cells (Nestin, Musashi) and differentiated cells (MAP-2,NSE,GFAP) and ChAT, NT-3 in the AECs were detected by immunocytochemistry. ResultsThe cultured AECs displayed positive immunoreactivity to MAP-2, NSE, GFAP, Nestin and Musashi. In addition, the cells also demonstrated immunoreactivity to ChAT and NT-3. ConclusionAECs are similar with neural cells and it may be useful as a sustained source to improve outcome of neural stem cells transplantation.
