1.Current research on breast cancer stem cells
Journal of International Oncology 2009;36(11):846-850
Tumor may generate from tumor stem cell and the microenvironment,and cancer stem cells are derived from the mutation of normal stem cells according to cancer stem cells hypothesis. Breast cancer stem cells are the first identified cancer stem cells in solid tumor. Breast cancer stem cells have been isolated successfully by many kinds of strategies, and their biological behaviors are gradually studied deeply. Self-renewal and differentiation of breast cancer stem cells are regulated by microenviroment and many signaling pathways. Therapy targeting breast cancer stem cells is gradually becoming the focus of tumor targeted therapy study.

Objective To explore the causes of bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and its treatment.Methods From January 1998 to February 2007,totally 8600 cases of LC were performed in our hospital.Bile duct injury occurred in 36 of them,among which,the common hepatic duct was cut in 20 cases,the common bile duct was severed in 4 patients,the common hepatic duct was cut and freed in 4;incomplete clipping of the common hepatic duct or common bile duct occurred in 3 and 1 cases respectively;3 cases had injury to the conjunction of the cystic duct and common hepatic duct;electrical burn injury happened in 1 patient.Thirty one of the injured cases were detected during the laparoscopic surgery,while the other five were found because of jaundice or biliary leakage.The patients received bile duct repair and T tube drainage(24),T tube drainage(4),Roux-en-Y bowel biliary anastomosis(4),bile duct anastomosis(1),or removal of the titanium clips after the accidents.Results One of the patients who received bile duct anastomosis developed biliary stenosis after the T tube was withdrawn in 2 months after the surgery,Roux-en-Y bowel biliary anastomosis was thus performed 3 months later.Two patients who underwent Roux-en-Y anastomosis developed anastomotic stenosis after the operation,and thus received a second anastomosis in 11 months.These 3 patients who received totally 3 operations,were followed up for 2 to 3 years,none of them developed cholangitis or biliary stones.One patient in this series had refractory cholangitis,jaundice,and liver function impairment,and was cured after 1-year anti-inflammation and liver support therapy.In the other 32 patients,an 8-to 36-month follow-up(mean,16 months) was achieved,during which none of them showed any complications.Conclusions Bile duct injury can be due to lacking experience and knowledge of the complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy,inappropriate enrollment of the patients,inaccurate operation,misuse of the surgical instruments,or being unable to discern the Calot's triangle.Strict indications for the operation,advanced training for young doctors,and appropriate timing for conversion to an open surgery are necessary to decrease the rate of bile duct injury.

A simple, fast flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) method for the determination of methyl-parathion has been developed. It is based on the reaction of methyl parathion with luminol-H2O2 in the alkaline medium (pH:11.5~12.0), sensitized by water-soluble macromolecule Polyethylene glycol 400. Under the optimal conditions, the CL intensity was linear to the concentration in the range of 5.0×10-8~1.0×10-5 g/mL (r=0.9996), with a detection limit (3σ) of 2.0×10-8 g/mL. Relative standard deviation was less than 4% (n=11) and the recovery was between 82%~93%. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of trace residue of methyl-parathion in grain sample.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and effects on hemorheology of acupuncture therapy combined with gaba-pentin in the treatment of patients with tension headache. Methods:Totally 92 cases of patients with tension headache were randomly divided into the observation group (n=46) and the control group (n=46) according to the random number table. The control group was given gabapentin, while the observation group was treated with acupuncture therapy on the basis of treatment in the control group. The treatment course was 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy, changes of the headache indices, VAS score and hemorheology levels before and after the treatments in the two groups were compared, and the incidence of adverse reactions was observed as well. Results:The to-tal effective rate of the observation group (93. 48%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (73. 91%, P<0. 05). Af-ter the treatment, the headache indices in both groups significantly decreased (P<0. 05), and the decrease in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0. 05). The VAS scores in both groups significantly decreased after the treat-ment (P<0. 05), and the decrease in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0. 05). The plas-ma viscosity, hematocrit and platelet aggregation rate in both groups significantly decreased after the treatment (P<0. 05), and the decrease in the observation group was more notable than that in the control group (P<0. 05). No severe adverse reactions were shown in both groups during the treatment course. Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy combined with gabapentin in the treatment of patients with tension headache shows striking effects, which can improve hemorheology with promising safety and deserves further studies.
