Objective To study improvement of neural function by stereotaxic transplantation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) into lateral cerebral ventricle after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats and its mechanism. Methods ADSC were cultured and proliferated in vitro, which had been marked with Brdu for 48 h before transplantation. The rat caudate nucleus hemorrhage (ICH) models were divided into 2 groups. ADSC were stereotaxically transplanted into the right lateral ventricles in ADSC group, and equal volume of saline was transplanted into control group. The score of neurological behavior were evaluated at modeling and 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days after transplantation respectively.Double-staining immunofluorescence technique was used to detect Brdu-positive cells and the differentiation of neurons and astrocytes. In accordance with the instructions of TUNEL kit, cell apoptosis, and the expression of VEGF and angiogenesis were assayed. Results In vitro ADSC expressed undergo osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Compared with the control group, ADSC group had better motor function at 3, 7, and 14 days (P<0. 05). Double-staining immunofluorescence showed mostly grafted Brdu-reactive ADSC had migrated to the hematoma zone, and some survivedand expressed Neun of Gfap. TUNEL analysis revealed that, 3 days after transplantation, the number of apoptotic cells in ADSC group was significantly less than in the control group (P<0. 05). Three days after transplantation, VEGF expression levels in ADSC group were significantly higher than in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion ADSC stereotaxially transplanted into the lateral ventricle can survive and differentiate into neuron-like cells. ADSC transplantation may reduce apoptosis and secret VEGF to promote the angiogenesis, and improve neural functional in intracerebral hemorrhage rats.

Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (ESCs and iPSCs) hold great promise for regenerative medicine. The therapeutic application of these cells requires an understanding of the molecular networks that regulate pluripotency, differentiation, and de-differentiation. Along with signaling pathways, transcription factors, and epigenetic regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in the establishment and maintenance of pluripotency. These tiny RNAs control proliferation, survival, the cell cycle, and the pluripotency program of ESCs. In addition, they serve as barriers or factors to overcome barriers during the reprogramming process. Systematic screening for novel miRNAs that regulate the establishment and maintenance of pluripotent stem cells and further mechanistic investigations will not only shed new light on the biology of ESCs and iPSCs, but also help develop safe and efficient technologies to manipulate cell fate for regenerative medicine.

Objective:To investigate the understanding of cancer pain by medical doctors and its therapeutic status in Shanghai. Methods:We recruited 1 982 medical physicians from 106 secondary and tertiary hospitals in Shanghai city from January to March in 2007. The understanding and the therapeutic status of cancer pain were investigated by conducting a questionnaire survey and the results were statistically analyzed.Rusults:There were 52.3% physicians who believed that they understand the treatment protocol of the Three-step Analgesic Ladder regimen. The rate increased by 21.6 percentage point compared with the results in 1999. The understanding degree of oncologists was significantly better than non-oncologists. There were 16.8% physicians giving the correct answers on the three main principles of the dosage titration in analgesic management. The correct rate of oncologists was significantly higher than that of non-oncologists. Opium with strong analgesic effect had become the first choice for severe cancer pain, and the use of pethidine (Dolantin) for severe cancer pain decreased significantly.The pain was significantly relieved in 74.8% patients. The pain-relieving rate increased by 25.4 percentage point compared with the results in 1999. There were 81.1% medical doctors confirming the effect of pain treatment and among them oncologists were more optimistic to therapeutic outcome than others. There were 93.3% physicians who agreed that it was necessary to carry out the standardized training of cancer pain treatment and the requirement of non-oncologists were much emergent. The over-strict controls by the hospitals and the regulations were the main obstacles for using analgesic drugs.Conclusion:The understanding of medical doctors and the diagnostic and therapeutic levels of cancer pain were improved significantly compared with those in 1999. But more training of cancer pain treatment are still required to publicize the standardized therapy and overcome the obstacles of using analgesic drug.

Background and purpose:China is a high incidence area of liver cancer. The latest monitoring data in Shanghai show that liver cancer is one of the most common cancers with very high disease burden. This study aimed to describe and analyze the population-based survival rates of patients with liver cancer in Shanghai.Methods:Data of liver cancer cases diagnosed between 2002 and 2006, including follow-up information and death report, were collected from Shanghai Cancer Registry. Life table and Ederer Ⅱ were used to calculate observed survival (OS) and relative survival (RS). The related demographic characteristics and status were also analyzed to relfect the survival situations of the liver cancer survivors in major areas of Shanghai.Results:In this study, 20 702 liver cancer cases were included in analysis. Five-year OS rate for liver cancer was 11.72%, whereas RS rate was 15.45%. The OS of male liver cancer patients was higher than that of female patients. Patients whose age ranged from 0-34 years had the highest survival rates than patients from other age groups. The survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma was higher than that of patients with other histologic types of liver cancer. Signiifcant difference in survival had also been found among patients with various stages of liver cancer. The survival rate of patients with stageⅠliver cancer was much higher than that of patients with stageⅢ andⅣ liver cancers. There was no signiifcant difference in the survival of liver cancer patients between urban and rural residents. Over the past 3 decades, the 5-year OS increased dramatically in Shanghai. Conclusion:The survival of patients with liver cancer in Shanghai is improved signiifcantly. The prognosis is poor compared with other common malignant tumors. It is necessary to strengthen the risk factors and high-risk population control and intervention in the future.
