Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(12):905-907
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been found to home to tissues/organs with irflammation,the sites of growing tumors,as well as to participate in the formation of the tumor micro-environment,suggesting that MSCs play important roles in tumor growth and metastasis.To study the roles and mechanisms of MSCs in tumor growth and metastasis will provide new insights into tumorigenesis and tumor target therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of preoperative jaundice relieving on hemihepatectomy of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 18 patients who received preoperative percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and drainage (PTCD) or endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) before hemihepatectomy at the Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2007 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The condition of the 18 patients (jaundice relieving group) was compared with that of 24 patients (non-jaundice relieving group) who did not receive PTCD or ENBD before hemihepatectomy.The differences in the pre-and postoperative blood loss,blood transfusion,operation time and postoperative incidence of complications between the 2 groups were analyzed.All data were analyzed using the t test or chi-square test.Results After PTCD or ENBD,the levels of total bilirubin (TBil),direct bilirubin (DBil),alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were (27 ± 5) μmol/L,(22 ± 6) μmol/L and (52 ± 42) U/L,which were significantly lower than (287 ± 120)μmol/L,(212 ± 86)μmol/L,and (267 ± 180)U/L before PTCD or ENBD in the jaundice relieving group (t =4.33,6.61,4.19,P <0.05).In the jaundice relieving group,left hemihepatectomy was performed on 14 patients,and right hemihepatectomy on 4 patients,and the radical resection rate was 16/18.In the nonjaundice relieving group,left hemihepatectomy was performed on 11 patients,and right hemihepatectomy on 13 patients,and the radical resection rate was 83.3% (20/24).There was no significant difference in the radical resection rate between the 2 groups (x2 =1.09,P > 0.05).The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,volume of blood transfusion were (5.0 ± 0.8) hours,(562 ± 207) ml and (430 ± 317) ml in the jaundice relieving group,and (6.3 ± 1.5)hours,(815 ± 463)ml and (750 ± 146)ml in the non-jaundice relieving group,with significant differences between the 2 groups (t =4.77,7.80,4.65,P < 0.05).The incidences of postoperative complications,bleeding and postoperative hepatic failure were 3/18,1/18 and 1/18 in the jaundice relieving group,and 75.0% (18/24),33.3% (8/24) and 33.3% (8/24) in the non-jaundice relieving group,with significant differences between the 2 groups (x2=5.14,7.58,7.58,P < 0.05).Conclusion Preoperative jaundice relieving could shorten the operation time and reduce the volume of intraoperative blood loss and the incidence of postoperative complications.

Background and purpose:The development of breast cancer is a multi-step process associated with changes in host chromosome,and some of which correlate with the appearance and progression of the tumor. We studied the expression of BUBl,APC protein in normal breast,hyperplasia of mammary glands and breast cancer tissues and evaluated its difference and clinical significance. Methods:The inmmunohistochemical method was used to analyze the expression of BUB1 and APC protein in normal breast,hyperplasia of mammary glands and breast cancer tissues. Results:The positive rate of BUB1 protein expression in normal,hyperplasia of mammary glands and breast cancer tissues was 86.7%,80.0% and46.0%,respectively.There were signifi cant differences among the three breast tissues(P

This article was aimed to explore the effect of acupuncture on HDAC2 activity in peripheral blood of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rats. The COPD rat model was established by cigarette smoking. Acupuncture was given for 3 consecutive weeks. The lung ventilation of rat was detected by equipment. Peripheral blood of rat was taken after 3 weeks. The HDAC2 enzyme activity was detected by fluorescence technology. ELISA was used in the detection of IL-10, IL-8 and TNF-αexpression in peripheral blood. The results showed that after acupuncture treatment, the lung ventilation was obviously increased compared with the model group (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the HDAC2 activity in the peripheral blood of rat was obviously increased (P < 0.05). However, the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-10, IL-8 and TNF-α was obviously reduced (P < 0.05). It was concluded that acupuncture treatment had a good efficacy on COPD rat. It indicated that acupuncture treatment might regulate HDAC2 activity to reduce inflammation.

Objective: To study percutaneous absorption of cinnamic acid and the effect of some common enhancers and pH value on it. Methods: Drug permeation tests were performed in K-C two-compartment diffusion cell through excised mice skin. Samples were collected from the receiver compartment, cinnamic acid concentration in samples was determined by HPLC. Results: Cinnamic acid could penetrate through excised mice skin. The permeability coefficient of cinnamic acid rose as its concentration increased. Cinnamic acid consisted of 20% ethanol, 30% ethanol and 3% Azone had high penetrating power. Conclusion: The research will provide experimental data for skin administration of Chinese medicine holding cinnamic acid.

Objective To investigate the effect of bedside comprehensive ability training and critical thinking on the improvement of the personality maturity of pediatric nurses. Methods A total of 102 nurses with pediatric working years within one year were selected,and then they were arranged to receive critical thinking in combination with bedside comprehensive ability training for 6 months. After the training, pediatric nurses′ critical thinking ability, bedside comprehensive ability and personality maturity were evaluated. Results Before training, the total score of Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV) , total score of bedside comprehensive ability, personality maturity score were 288.21±25.44, 75.24±2.51, 84.01±32.26, after training, they were respectively 324.18±25.93, 92.65±3.17, 125.57±35.47. Comparison of the scores before training and after training showed statistically significant difference(t=7.071, 30.750, 6.190,P < 0.05 or 0.01). Setting personality maturity as the dependent variable, and and CTDI-CV and bedside comprehensive ability as the independent variables, regression analysis showed that CTDI-CV and bedside comprehensive ability had a positive impact on the personality maturity. Conclusions The ability of pediatric nurses' critical thinking ability and bedside comprehensive ability training can promote the improvement of personality maturity of pediatric nurses.
