Objective:To study the role of adenoviral-mediated PTEN gene transfection in reversing drug resistance of trastuzumab-resistant human breast cancer.Methods:Recombinant adenoviruses carrying PTEN gene(AdPTEN) were constructed and transfected into trastuzumab-resistant human breast cancer cell line BT474.Proliferation and apoptosis of BT474 cells treated with AdPTEN and trastuzumab were measured by MTT assay and FCM.Time course of BT474 cells apoptosis induced by AdPTEN was analyzed by detection of DNA fragmentation.Western blotting was employed to measure phosphorylated-Akt expression levels in AdPTEN treated BT474 cells.The nude mice model of BT474 cells was employed to observe the effects of AdPTEN and trastuzumab on trastuzumab-resistant human breast cancer in vivo.The expression of PTEN gene,cancer cells apoptosis and ultrastructural changes were evaluated after the mice were sacrificed.Results:We successfully constructed recombinant AdPTEN;and the titer of the recombinant adenovirus was about 4.2?1011TCID50/ml.PTEN gene expression was identified by PCR,RT-PCR and Western blotting assay.Combinatorial AdPTEN and trastuzumab significantly suppressed the proliferation of BT474 cells and induced the apoptosis.The percentage of apopotosis cells treated with AdPTEN was(20.7?5.82)%,companied by cells cycle arrest in G1 phrase(P

Bone marrow mesenchymal cells (BMSCs) are regarded as donor cells in cell transplantation therapies for spinal cord injury (SCI) for they have the ability of favourable proliferation and multi-directional differentiation, and are easily isolated and culturd and have less immunological reaction. It has been confirmed that subarachnoid space injection is the most ideal delivery technique of BMSCs. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation is safe and its reconditioning role is certain for SCI in early clinical application. The mechanism of BMSCs promoting functional recovery after SCI is probably concerned with vicarious function, nerve trophism, immunosuppression and promoting axonal regeneration by BMSCs.

Objective: To observe the therapeutical effects of Lipo PGE_ 1 in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Methods: 42 cases of type 2 diabetes patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were recruited and were divided into two groups at random:therapy group treated with Lipo PGE_ l and control group treated with Vitamine B_ 1 and Vitamine B_ l2 . Results: After a treatment of 20 days,symptoms such as pain,numbness and hypoesthesia in cases of therapy group had been improved at different degrees.Examination of Neuroelectrophysiology indicated an increase of sensory nerves conduction velocity and motor nerve conduction velocity.The effects of therapy group outweighed that of control group. Conclusion: Lipo PGE_ 1 can significantly relief the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and increase nerve conduction velocity.The mechanism of action may involve improvement of blood-supply of nerve by vasodilatation and inhibition of platelet aggregation that caused by PGE_ l .

Objective In this study, we tested the ability of platelet-rich plasma to enhance bone consolidation during distraction osteogenesis in a rabbit model of leg lengthening. Methods Twenty New Zealand white rabbits, which were randomly divided into two groups, the PRP treated group and the control group (n=10). Osteotomy will be made under the tibiofibular junction of left tibia, and 1cm tibia shaft will be removed through a second osteotomy. The tibia will be shorted for 1cm and then fixed by Orthfix unilateral lengthener with 4 pins. Lengthening will start 7 days after the osteotomy surgery, at a rate of 1.0 mm/day, in two steps, for 10 days. 500ul PRP were respectively injected into the distraction gaps at the end of the 10-day lengthening and at 10 days before termination. No management in the control group. The animals were terminated at day 20 following final lengthening. Serial radiographs will be taken at the day of surgery, day 12, day 17, day 27, day 37, using a C-arm radiography system. The excised bone specimens were scanned by X-ray and Micro-CT, and the bone mineral content(BMC) and the bone mineral density(BMD) of the regenerates were calculated and compared. Results The regenerate of PRP treated group was significantly better than the control group. The X-ray figures showed that the regenerate was significantly more than the control group. The figures of micro-CT 3D reconstruction showed that the growth and remodel of the regenerate in PRP treated group was better than the control group. Micro-CT examination of regenerates demonstrated a significantly greater bone mineral content(BMC) and the bone mineral density(BMD) in the PRP treated group compared to the control group(P

Objective To compare the different micro inflammatory states between pafients undergone peritoneal dialysis and the pafients of chronic renal failure without dialysis,and to observe the condition of the occurrence of the micro inflammatory state in the peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods This study included 53 peritoneal dialysis patients who were followed-up in our dialysis center,34 chronic renal failure patients without dialysis and 47 normal controls,hs-CRP,IL-6,IL-8,TNF-? in venous blood were defected with empty stomach,and then compare the number of patients in each group.Results Patients'hs-CRP of the group of the PD is lower than that in the group of the chronic renal failure without dialysis,and higher than that in the normal people(P

The localization of some enzyme in adult worms of Clonorchis sinensis was studied by histochemical method in this paper. Acid phosphatase was detectcd mainly in digestive duct, subtegument and tne walls of testis, uterus and ovary; acetylcholinestcrase was found in oral sucker, ventral sucker, pharynx; and ATPase was found to exist in oral sucker, ventral sucker, pharynx and musclxe layer in the subtegument. The eggs of C. sinensis possessed the above three enzymes (Figs.l-5).
