Immunity reconstruction treatment using dendritic cells-cytokine induced killer cells (DC-CIK)not only is effective in killing cancer cells, but also enables a quick recovery of chemotherapy patients, thus has received more and more attention for its clinical use. Radix astragali polysaccharide, the extract of traditional Chinese medicine radix astragali, not only has an anti-tumor function, but also can enhance the immunity of cancer patients and reduce the side effects of the chemotherapy. Further researches are needed to validate the combined use of these two treatments in alleviating clinical symptoms of post-chemotherapy breast cancer patients.

Objective To study the interaction of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1 and environmental hazard factors in gastric cancer. Methods 1∶1 case-control study was carried out in Nanjing area, using PCR-RFLP technology to determined the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1 and epidemiological data about environmental exposure of 121 cases and controls were collected. Interaction indexes (?) were calculated to determine the type of gene-environment interaction. Results After confounding adjusted, the result showed that interaction existed in genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1 RsaⅠand the family history of digestive system disease, smoking, pickled food, irregular diet habit, interaction indexes (?) value were 1.855, 2.626, 1.736 and 1.714 respectively. A low exposure-gene effect interaction was found in CYP2E1 RsaⅠgenotype and the frequency of pickled food consumed, while a high exposure-gene effect interaction exist in CYP2E1 RsaⅠgenotype and irregular diet habit. Conclusion Genetic and environmental hazard factors co-effect the development of gastric cancer, genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1 and environmental risk factors show an interaction in gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of the transfection of DNMT1 antisense oligonucleotide wrapped in liposome on the promotor methylation and expression of progesterone receptor in leukemia cell lines so as to find a new pathway of methylation for gene therapy. Methods Artificially synthesized DNMT1 antisense oligonucleotide MG88 wrapped in liposome was transfected into the leukemia cell line. Changes of DNMT1 & PRB mRNA were detected by RT PCR, and the changes of the methylation status of PRA & PRB were analyzed by MSP. Results After transfection of leukemia cell line with MG88, DNMT1 mRNA decreased significantly. PRA & PRB promotors were demethylated, and the expressions of PRB mRNA increased significantly. Conclusion MG88 can induce the demethylation of PR promoters in leukemia cell line, resulting in the increase of PRB mRNA expression. So MG88 can be used in the experimental study of DNA methylation for gene therapy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphisms in the thymidylate synthase(TS) promoter enhancer region and invasion of bladder transitional cell carcinoma(BTCC).Methods The TS gene promoter and TS protein expression were detected by PCR and immunohistochemical Streptavidin-Peroxidase staining method respectively in 87 cases of BTCC and the immunoreactivity score(IRS) was estimated.Results The IRS of TS in BTCC was(3.38?2.15).The IRS of TS protein in stage of T_(2-4) was significantly higher than that in stage of T_(a-1),and the IRS was elevated with the increase of pathological grade of BTCC(all P

Objective To investigate the drug resistance and the clinical distribution of nonfer-menters in the recent three years in our hospital, and to provide basis for rational use of antibacterials.Methods The bacteria were identified by VITEK32 bacteria identification system and Kirby-Bauer(K-B) method was used for the antibiotics susceptibility test. The data was statistically analyzed. Results A total of 747 strains of nonfermenters were isolated from various clinical specimens during Jan 2005 to Dec 2007. The most common nonfermenters were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, followed by Acineto-bacter baumannii, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Acinetobacter lowfii. The isolation rate of non-fermenters was the highest from sputum specimens(59.3 %). These bacteria had various resistances to all detected antibiotics. These nonfermenters were lowly resistant to imipenem and piperaeillin/tazo-bacam. The resistance rate of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to minocycline, imipenem and levofloxa-cin was 1.2%, 3. 45 and 10. 3% respectively. Conclusion The nonfermenters are main pathogenic bacteria of nosoeomial infection, they are isolated from different clinical specimens and their drug-re-sistance is variant and multiple. To reduce-the production of drug-resistance and control the nosocomi-cal infection, the specimens must be collected and detected timely; the antibiotics should be selected according to the results of susceptibility test.

Objective To observe the correlation between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) levels and coronary artery disease (CAD), extent of angiographic coronary artery lesions and risk factors of CAD in the elderly. Methods Plasma levels of Lp-PLA2, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol(TC), low density lipoprotein(LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) were measured in 67 elderly patients with angiographic CAD meanwhile in 23 normal controls without angiographic coronary artery lesions. The extent of coronary artery lesions was evaluated according to the number of vessel lesions (divided into single, double and triple-vessel lesions) and Gensini scoring system. Then the relationship between Lp-PLA2 and CAD was assessed. Results The plasma levels of Lp-PLA2 were significantly higher in the CAD group than in the controls [(352.7 ± 129.0) vs. (204.0 ± 59. 7) μg/L, P < 0. 01]. Lp-PLA2 levels increased with the number of coronary artery lesions and Gensini score, then were positively correlated with age(r= 0. 25, P<0. 05) ,TC(r=0. 33, P<0. 01) ,LDL-C(r=0.27, P< 0. 05),apoB(r=0. 36, P<0. 01). The levels of LP-PLA2 and LP(a) were associated with CAD by using stepwise regression analysis. Conclusions In the eldly, the levels of LP-PLA2 are much higher in angiographic CAD, and these may reflect the severity of CAD. LP-PLA2 is a risk factor for CAD.

Objective To investigate the inductive role of traumatic microenvironment in dedifferentiation of epidermal cells and explore the potential role of Wnt signaling pathway in this biological process. Methods The sheets of human foreskin were digested overnight after removal of adipose tissue, and then the epidermis was separated from the dermis. The separated epidermis sheets were repeatedly adhered to type Ⅳ collagen and flushed to remove the epidermal stem cells. The obtained epidermis sheets were transplanted onto the full-thickness skin wounds on the back of BALB/c nude mice, five days after which the cell lineage was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and the expressions of Wnts and downstream components in the grafted epidermal sheets examined by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results The cells in the basal layer of full-thickness epidermal sheets were positive for CK19 and β1 integrin and negative for CK10. While the cells in uhrathin epidermal sheets treated with type Ⅳ collagen were fully positive for CK10. Five days after transplantation of the ultrathin epidermal sheets, cells negative for CK10 but positive for CK19 and β1 integrin emerged at the wound-neighboring side of the skin grafts. At the same time, the expressions of Wnt-10b, Wnt-4 and Wnt-7a mRNA were increased by about 3.1-fold, 2.2-fold and 1.4-fold independently after transplantation. Furthermore, the expressions of β-catenin and β-catenin target genes (cyclin D1 and c-myc) were elevated by about 3-fold, 1.5-fold and 2-fold respectively in the grafted epidermal sheets (P < 0.01). Conclusion Traumatic microenvironment can induce epidermal cell dedifferentiation, when the Wnt/β -catenin signaling pathway may play an important role.

Objective The study combined multiple local flaps to repair small or medium-sized area of facial skin and soft tissue defects,and to explore the advantages of the local flap collaboration repair.Methods Following the partition repair principle and depending on the wound size and location of these defects,the appropriate local flap was selected to cover the wound.Therefore,the incision was hidden and conformed to the face natural contour or skin wrinkles.Results 77 patients were treated in this group,74 cases got phase] healing and the other 3 got phase Ⅱ healing; all were followed-up for 1 to 8 months.The repair flap and surrounding skin had good similarity in terms of color,texture and contour,the incisions were hidden and the scars were not obvious; no tumor had recurred.The face contour and visual effects were good,and the aesthetic results were satisfactory.Conclusions The combined application of several different local skin flap to repair facial trauma defects,can not only reduce the overall difficulty and risk,reduce surgical complications,but also improve the repair quality,to maximize the recovery of facial aesthetic appearance.
