Tumor 2010;(2):138-142
Objective:To investigate the expressions and their clinical significance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and extracellular matrix (ECM) components in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:Expressions of VEGF and ECM components (fibronectin, FN and collagen Ⅳ, cⅣ) in 50 cases of NSCLC tissues and 20 cases of normal lung tissues were detected by immunohistological analysis. Their relationship with clinical features of NSCLC and the correlation of expression of VEGF and Fn and cⅣ were analyzed.Results:The positive expression rates of VEGF, Fn, and cⅣ were 96%, 78%, and 50% in NSCLC tissues. The expressions of VEGF and Fn were significantly higher than those in normal lung tissues (P<0.05). The expression of Fn and over-expression of VEGF were associated with lymph node metastasis (r=1.00, P<0.001). The survival rate of patients with over-expression of VEGF was greatly lower than that with weak expression of VEGF (P=0.022). The survival rate of Fn-negative patients was markedly higher than that of Fn-positive patients (P=0.046). Conclusion:VEGF and ECM component Fn were highly expressed in NSCLC, which correlated with lymph node metastasis and survival rate. Expression of ECM and VEGF had positive correlations, suggesting that ECM might be one of the anti-angiogenesis targets for tumor therapy.

Objective To analyze the effects of dominant hand position on the quality of external chest compression for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by the employment of the high-fidelity real-time feedback manikin system.Methods A total of 228 medical students of Wuhan University were enrolled in 2013 after standard CPR training courses.Participants were brought to a simulation scenario in which an adult happened to have heart arrest out of a hospital.Each studeut was asked to do five cycles of conventional CPR.In accordance with the dominant hand and the actual compressing hand position,the students were divided into dominant hand (DH) group and non-dominant hand (NH) group.Comparisons of chest compression rate,chest compression depth and chest recoil between two groups were carried out,respectively.The data were analyzed by the software of SPSS 13.0.Results There was no significant difference in overall chest compression rate between two groups (P > 0.05) while the frequency distributions of chest compression rate showed differences (P <0.01),and chest compression rates above 100 cycle per min in DH group were higher than that in NH group (97% vs.92%,P =0.002).There was significant differences in chest compression depth between two groups (DH 44±8 mm vs.NH 43±8mm,P=0.001).In NH group,the depth in cycle 5 (41 ±8) mm is obviously less than that in cycle 1 (44 ±7) mm,cycle 2 (43 ±7) mm and cycle 3 (43 ±8) mm.Totally,there was no differences in chest recoils between two groups [NH (98 ±8)% vs.DH (97 ± 10)%,P =0.13],but full chest recoils were seen more in NH group (85% vs.79%,P < 0.05).Conclusions The dominant hand position can improve the quality of CPR resulted from the higher compression rate,deeper compression depth as well as delayed fatigue.

Objective To explore the effect of RNA interference targeting hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) gene on the proliferation of human tongue cancer cells (Tca8113 and Tscca). Methods HIF-1α-specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression vector and empty shRNA vector were respectively transferred into two kinds of cultured human tongue cancer cells. The expression of HIF-1αgene was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot method. The clone forma-tion assay was used to observe the cell proliferation. The cell counting was used to monitor the number of living cells. Flow cytometry was applied to detect cell cycle distribution. Additionally, the cells were injected into nude mice, and tumor form-ing condition was observed. Results After the shRNA HIF-1αplasmid was transfected into tongue cancer cells, the expres-sions of both HIF-1αmRNA and protein were significantly decreased in tongue cancer cells under hypoxia condition. The number of colony formation was significantly lower in HIF-1αsmall interfering RNA (siRNA) group than that in empty and negative control group. The cell counting revealed that the number of living cells was remarkably lower in HIF-1αsiRNA group than that in negative control group. Also, the cell cycle in HIF-1α siRNA group was arrested at G0/G1 phase after transfection and 48 hours hypoxia culture. Besides, the tumor volume was remarkably smaller in HIF-1αsiRNA group than that in negative control group after the tongue cancer cells transplanted into nude mice for several days. The statistical analy-sis indicated that the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion RNA interference targeting HIF-1α gene could suppress the proliferation of human tongue cancer cells effectively. HIF-1αgene could be researched as a new therapeutic target of tongue cancer in the future.

Education of history of science may not only cultivate spirit of science,critical spirit,methods of thought,innovative spirit and sense of responsibility,compassion and enterprise,but also provide cognition on illogical methods of thought and taste of aesthetic philosophy.Education of history of science in Medical academy is an important channel to advance medicos' comprehen- sive quality.Enhancing cognition and developing multifarious educating activities of history of science is an important tendency in reformation of medical education.

Objective To explore hemodynamic parameter changes in pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH)treated by transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MMSCs)in the experimental rats.Methods MMSCs cells were collected from bone marrow of Sprague-Dawleye(SD)rat's femoral and tibial bones,cultured and passaged in vitro,then stained by Hoechst 33342 fluorescence dye stuff.Ninety healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=30):normal control group(group N),MMSCs transplanted group(group M),PAH model group(group H).The rats in the two latter groups were given a single subcutaneous crotaline(50 mg/kg)to establish the model of PAH.The rats of group N were injected respectively a single subcutaneous 9 g/L saline water(6 mL/kg).After 21 days,5?109 L-1 MMSCs cultured in 1 mL phosphate-buffered saline were infused into the rats respectively in group M by sublingual vein and 1 mL L-DMEM was given in group H.The indexalso of right ventricle systolic pressure(RVSP),right ventricle hypertrophy index,arterial blood gas analysis and the changes of small pulmonary blood vessel were observed after 28 days.Results The administration of MMSCs 28 days after PAH nearly completely prevented the increase in RVSP with PAH alone [(32.20?2.32)mmHg vs(48.30?1.56)mmHg P
