Objective To investigate the expression of Ki-67 antigen and Survivin in epithelial ovarian tumor and their relationship.Methods Immunohistochemical assay SP method)was used to examine the expression of Ki-67 antigen and Survivin in 24 cases of benign and 47 cases of malignant epithelial ovarian tumor.Results The staining reaction of Ki-67 was mainly confined to the cellular nucleus.Ki-67 index in malignant tumor(19.59?16.48) was significantly higher than that in benign epithelial ovarian tumor(0.17?0.20)(P

The endocytosis/phagocytosis of calcium alginate nanocapsules by peripheral blood derived dendritic cells was confirmed with the use of Quantum dots labeling.Results further demonstrated these nanoparticles could cause the upregulation of HLA-DR expression to induce the maturation of dendritic cells in vitro.Dendritic cells stimulated by nanocapsules covalently loaded with BSA were shown to stimulate the proliferation of self T cells with blank capsules and free BSA as controls,suggesting their potential applications in cancer cell therapy as a new antigen delivery vehicle with a strong adjuvant effect.

Objective To examine the complement component 1 Q subcomponent-binding protein (C1QBP) gene expression in human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines and its parental cell line JeG-3,and to investigate whether silence C 1QBP by small interference RNA could reverse the resistance of human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines to its relevant chemotherapy drugs.Methods Expression of C1QBP mRNA and protein in cells were detected by real-time fluorogenic quantitative PCR and western blot,respectively.The difference of C 1QBP expression was compared between human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines and its parental cell line JeG-3.Sub-cellular location was proved by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy.A lentiviral vector containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting C 1QBP was constructed and cotransfected with the packaging plasmid mixture into 293T cells by lipofectamine 2000.The human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines were infected with the packaged lentivirus.Real-time fluorogenic quantitative PCR and western blot were used to validate whether the C 1QBP gene expression was silenced.The cell counting kit 8(CCK8)was used to determine the drug sensitivity.Results (1)The C1QBP mRNA expression levels among four human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines[JeG-3/floxuridiuum (FUDR),JeG-3/methotrexate (MTX),JeG-3/etoposide (VP),JeG-3/dactinomycin (KSM)] were 2.520±0.680,1.770±0.230,1.940±0.090 and 1.740±0.350 folds compared to that in JeG-3 cells.The C1QBP protein was higher expression level in human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines than that in JeG-3.The immunofluorescence methods and confocal analysis showed that C1QBP localized predominantly in the mitochondrial matrix.(2)The C1QBP mRNA expression in JeG-3/FUDR cells after infected with lentiviral vector were decreased by 93.1％ (P＜0.01).The protein expression of C 1QBP in JeG-3/FUDR cells after infected with lentiviral vector were almost completely suppressed.The resistance indexes of four human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines(JeG-3/FUDR,JeG-3/MTX,JeG-3/VP,JeG-3/KSM) were respectively 86.3％,93.9％,92.8％ and 89.9％,which were decreased remarkably by knockdown the C 1QBP expression (P＜0.05).Conclusions C1QBP is overexpressed in human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines compared with parental cell line JeG-3.Inhibition of C 1QBP by lentivirus-mediated small interference RNA could effectively reverses the resistance of human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines to its relevant chemotherapy drugs.

Objective To study the in vitro and in vivo effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on osteoclast and osteoblast precursor cells.MethodsTo observe the in vitro effect of PEMFs,femur bone marrow cells of 8 week old female SD rats were collected.According to different treating doses,rats were divided into four treatment groups and one control group.After the treatment,the clones of granuloeyte/maerophage colony forming unit(CFU-GM) and fibroblast colony forming units(CFU-F) were measured respectively.To observe the combined in vitro and in vivo effect of PEMFs,8 week old female SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: 2-70 group,ovariectomization (OVX) group and SHAM group.Rats in the 2-70 group and OVX group were bilateral ovariectomized,while rats in the SHAM group were sham-ovariectomized.12 weeks after ovariectomization,the 2-70 group was exposed to PEMFs while the other groups were left untreated.Then,femur bone marrow cells of the rats were collected.According to the way whether the groups were treated with PEMFs,the cells were divided into six groups: 2-70 with/without treatment,OVX with/without treatment,SHAM with/without treatment.After the treatments,the clones of CFU-GM and CFU-F were measured respectively.Resultsin vitro effect of PEMFs: Compared with the control group,the CFU-GMin the treated groups reduced while the CFU-F increased.PEMFs effect in vitro and in vivo: The CFU-F in treated groupsincreased,whileno.significantdifferencesofCFU-GMwerefoundamongthegroups.Conclusion PEMFs has inhibitory effect on osteoelast precursor cells and enhances the proliferation of osteoblast precursor cells when simply applied in vitro.When PEMFs was applied in combined manner of in vitro and in vivo,it shows that PEMFs enhance the proliferation of osteoblast precursor cells but has no inhibitory effects on osteoelast precursor cells.

Objective To analyze effect of the syphilis prevention and control work among female sex workers(FSWs), and provide reference data for target intervention in Guangdong province.Methods Syphilis prevalence among FSWs from 2009 to 2013 were analyzed statistically based on the data from Guangdong Provincial high-risk groups in sexually transmit-ted infection(STI)control program.Results A total of 34 338 FSWs were detected,including 23 816(69.36%)FSWs at the high-tier venues,8 811(25.66%)middle-tier,and 1 711(4.98%)low tier.The syphilis prevalence of FSWs at high-, middle-,and low-tier venues in 2009 was 2.60%,7.36%,and 10.54% respectively,and in 2013 was 1.45%,2.75%,and 21.88% respectively.Chi-square test showed a downward trend in the prevalence of syphilis among the high and middle tier FSWs in 2009-2013(χ2 =12.807,52.333 respectively,both P <0.001),and remained high among FSWs at low-tier venues(χ2 =0.027,P =0.87).The difference in syphilis prevalence in 2013 among FSWs from different types of venues was statistically significant (χ2 =190.64,P <0.001 ).No significant difference in syphilis prevalence was found among FSWs from Pearl River Delta,eastern,western and northern Guangdong(χ2 =5.24,P =0.07).Conclusion Significant difference is found in prevalence of syphilis among FSWs from different types of settings.FSWs from low-tier settings have a relatively lower syphilis testing rate but with higher infection rate.

OBJECTIVETo study diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) in patients with hematologic malignancies after chemotherapy and discuss the possible etiology and appropriate therapy.

METHODSSymptoms, physical examinations, laboratory examination, chest radiographs or computed tomographic (CT) scans, treatments and outcomes of two patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) each after chemotherapy were presented.

RESULTSBoth of the patients developed cough, progressive dyspnea, a drop of hemoglobin level, hypoxemia and widespread pulmonary infiltrate on chest radiographs or CT scans after chemotherapy. Moreover, case 1 (ALL) had high fever and bloody fluid drained from the intubation of mechanical ventilation, case 2 (NHL) developed continual hemoptysis. They were diagnosed as DAH and improved significantly after intermediate- or high-dose corticosteroid therapy.

CONCLUSIONSDAH is a rare fatal acute noninfectious pulmonary complication in patients with hematologic malignancies after chemotherapy. Early accurate diagnosis, identifying the underlying cause and appropriate treatment are critical for the management of DAH.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of prednisone combined with human immunoglobulin(pH4)for intra-venous injection in the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. METHODS:85 patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura were divided into control group(42 cases)and observation group(43 cases). Control group received 1.6 mg/(kg·d)Predni-sone tablet,orally,for continuous 4 weeks;observation group received 400 mg/(kg·d)human immunoglobulin(pH4)for intravenous injection,intravenous injection,for continuous 5 d,then 1.6 mg/(kg·d)Prednisone tablet,orally,for continuous 4 weeks. All pa-tients were given Adrenal color hydrazone tablet,Vitamin C tablet and other conventional treatment. Clinical efficacy,platelet number, T lymphocyte subsets(CD3+,CD3+CD4+,CD3+CD8+,CD19+),TNF-α,IL-6 before and after treatment,time of platelet number reached normal and reached peak value,peak value of platelet number and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were ob-served. RESULTS:The total effective rate and peak value of platelet number in observation group were significantly higher than control group,time of platelet number reached normal and reached peak value were significantly shorter than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in platelet number,T lymphocyte sub-sets,IL-6 and TNF-αlevel in 2 groups(P>0.05);after treatment,platelet number,CD3+and CD3+CD4+in 2 groups were significant-ly higher than before,and observation group was higher than control group,IL-6,TNF-αlevel,CD3+CD8+and CD19+were signifi-cantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Prednisone com-bined with human immunoglobulin(pH4) for intravenous injection shows better efficacy than prednisone alone in the treatment of idio-pathic thrombocytopenic purpura,it can increase platelet number,adjust immune function,and do not increase the incidence of ad-verse reactions.

Objective To investigate the effects of echocardiography-guided pacemaker parameters optimization in order to enhance the efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT).Methods Seventeen patients with chronic heart failure received biventricular resynchronous pacing therapy.A-V delay and V-V delay was optimized under the guiding of spectral Doppler echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging.Results The indices of heart function in all patients were significantly improved after the treatment.The NYHA class of the patients was improved from class Ⅲ～Ⅳ to class Ⅱ～Ⅲ.Since PAV/SAV was optimized to 130-180/100-150 ms,left ventricular filling time(LVFT) was increased from (354±147)ms to (420±112)ms,mitral reflux (MR) was decreased from (8.41±4.55)cm2 to (5.36±4.71)cm2.After VV delay was optimized to 4-40ms,standard deviation of time to regional peak systolic velocity (Ts-SD-12) was decreased from (48.4±17.9)ms to (30.2±18.6)ms,left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral(VTI LVOT) was increased from (20.6±9.0)cm/s to (26.1±3.1)cm/s.Conclusions Echocardiography-guided optimization of the pacemaker parameters is necessary in order to enhance the efficacy of CRT.

ObjectiveTo identify the presence of side population (SP) cells in human ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR-3 and to investigate whether SP cells have the characteristics of cancer stem cells.MethodsSP and non-SP (NSP) cells from OVCAR-3 were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting after being stained by DNA-binding dye Hoechst 33342.Limiting dilution transplantation assay,realtime PCR,and drug sensitivity assay were performed to compare the tumorigenic ability,differentiation ability in vivo,the mRNA expressiou of stemness marker (Oct-4,Klf4,and Nanog) and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter (ABCG2,ABCB1,and ABCC2),and response to multiple drugs (cisplatin,paclitaxel,doxorubicin,and mitoxantrone )between SP and NSP cells.ResultsA few of SP cells [ ( 1.13 ±0.39) ％ ] which were sensitive to reserpine were identified in OVCAR-3 cells.The injection of as few as 102 SP cells initiated tumors in two of five mice.Tumor latency was 52 -61 days.However,the NSP cells did not generate any tumors in mice until 104 NSP cells were injected (two of five mice).Tumor latency was 64 - 98 days.Tumorigenicity of SP cells was enhanced by at least 100-fold than that of NSP cells.The SP cells regenerated both SP [ ( 2.09 ± 0.73 ) ％ ] and NSP populations in vivo with a fraction size that was comparable to the original population.The mRNA expression ofstemness genes Oct-4,Klf4 and ABC transporters ABCG2,ABCC2 genes were elevated in SP cells compared to NSP cells,the fold changes were 1.95±0.41 (P＜0.05),4.26 ±0.63 (P＜0.01),3.22±0.36 (P＜0.01),and 1.76±0.26 (P＜0.01 ),respectively.The relative activity of SP and NSP cells were 0.757 ± 0.105 versus 0.474 ± 0.035 (P＜0.01),0.521 ±0.092 versus 0.384 ±0.073 (P＜0.05),0.742 ±0.051 versus 0.526 ±0.088 (P ＜0.01 ),and 0.690 ± 0.096 versus 0.466 ± 0.112 ( P ＜ 0.01 ) when they exposed to 0.25 μg/ml cisplatin, 0.01μmol/Lpaclitaxel, 0.25μmol/Ldoxorubicin, and0.05μg/mlmitoxantrone,respectively.ConclusionsSP cells from OVCAR-3 have enhanced self-renewal,differentiation,and tumorinitiating capacity compared to NSP cells.The mRNA expression of stemness genes and ABC transporters are markedly elevated in SP cells,which showed resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic drugs and have characteristics of cancer stem-like cells.Therefore,SP phenotype could be used as a marker to isolate the cancer stem-like cells in ovarian cancer.
