This study examined the differences in tumor formation of three bladder tumor cell lines (BIU-87, T24 and EJ) after subcutaneously transplanted into nude mice, in order to find the best technique for establishing in vivo bladder tumor model. BIU-87, T24 and EJ cells at logarithmic phase were re-suspended in serum-free medium. The cells suspensions of the identical concentration were subcutaneously transplanted into nude mice and then the success rate and tumor growth were compared among the three cell groups. The results of tumor formation were pathologically evaluated. Lung, liver and kidney tissues were also pathologically examined for distant metastasis. The proliferation of the three cells were determined by immunohistochemically detecting the PCNA expression in the tumors. The results showed that the success rates of EJ and T24 cells were significantly higher than that of BIU-87 cells and no distant metastasis was noted among the three groups. The proliferation levels of EJ and T24 cells was significantly higher than that of BIU-87. But at the later stage of tumor formation, as compared with T24 cells, EJ grew more vigorously, soon resulting in the central necrosis of tumor, which affected the measurement of the actual size of the tumors. Moreover, PCNA staining exhibited that the proliferation of EJ and T24 was significantly higher than that of BIU-87 cells. It is concluded that as compared with BIU-87 cells, EJ and T24 cells had higher success rates, with not significant differences in death rate and distant metastasis found among them. There existed no significant difference in tumor formation between EJ and T24 cells and T24 cells do not rupture easily, which makes it a better cell line for the establishment of in vivo bladder tumor model.

Objective To observe the effects of substance P (SP), NK1 receptor antagonist and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors on the secretion of nitric oxide (NO) and expression of inducible NOS (iNOS) by immortalized human keratinocyte line HaCaT. Methods The NO level in supernatant of cultured HaCaT cells was measured by nitrate reductase assay after treatment with different concentrations (10-9 to 10-6 mol/L) of SP, or the combination of SP (10-8 mol/L) and spantide (3×10-7 mol/L), aminoguanidine (10-7 mol/L), 7-nitroindazole (10-6 mol/L) or L-NAME (10-5 mol/L) for various durations. Reverse transcription-PCR was performed to measure the expression of iNOS mRNA in HaCaT cells incubated with SP of 10-8 mol/L for 1, 24 and 48 hours. Results The SP of 10-9 to 10-6 mol/L significantly induced the production of NO by HaCaT cells, and the highest level of NO was observed in HaCaT cells treated with SP of 10-8 mol/L. The synthesis of NO by HaCaT cells induced by SP was inhibited by Spantide of 3 × 10~7 mol/L at all time points (30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours, all P< 0.01), by L-NAME of 10-5 mol/L at 3 time points (30 minutes, 1, 24 hours) and by 7-nitroin-dazole of 10-6 mol/L at 2 time points (30 minutes, 1 hour, both P< 0.05), but not by aminoguanidine of 10-7 mol/L at any time point (all P > 0.05). After treatment with SP of 10-8 mol/L, the relative mRNA expression of iNOS was 0.199 ± 0.018 and 0.516 ± 0.030 at 24 and 48 hours, respectively, and there was a statistical difference between the two time points (P < 0.01). Conclusions SP can reinforce the secretion of NO by HaCaT cells via NK1 receptor activation, but iNOS is unlikely to be the primary origin of NO secreted by HaCaT cells induced by SP.

Objective To explore the application of 64-slice spiral CT angiography (CTA) in the evaluation of cerebral vascular disease. Methods 160 cases with suspected cerebral vascular disease underwent CTA with 64-slice spiral CT. Two dimensional and three dimensional reformation were performed in all cases including multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP), volume rendering (VR). Both axial and reformatted images were analyzed by two radiologists. Results 94 cases of 160 were diagnosed as abnormal, including 50 stenosis or obstructive disease, 21 aneurysm, 1 post-intravascular stent, 4 cliped aneurysm, 3 arteriovenous malformation, 4 moyamoya disease, 4 carotid-cavernous fistula, 4 venous sinus thrombus, 1 straight sinus occlusion with perpetual falcial sinus, 1 great cerebral venous aneurysm, 1 perpetual sublingual artery. Conclusion 64-slice spiral CTA is a valuable diagnostic method for various cerebral vascular disease.

Objective To investigate the incidence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), the relationship between ARAS and cerebral artery stenosis, and the risk of ARAS in patients with brain infarction. Methods The clinical data of 1 650 brain infarction patients were analyzed, which were carried out digital subtraction angiography(DSA) of cerebral and renal artery.The incidence of ARAS was counted out, and the relationship was analyzed between the different degree and number of cerebral artery stenosis and the rate of RAS. The demographic characteristics and the common risk factors of atherosclerosis were recorded, and the risk factors of ARAS were analyzed. Results The rate of ARAS in moderate stenosis group and severe stenosis and occlusion group of cerebral artery were all significantly higher than that in mild stenosis group and no stenosis group (all P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS in severe stenosis and occlusion group were significantly significantly higher than those in moderate stenosis group (P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS in 2 branch stenosis group and ≥3 branch stenosis group were both significantly higher than those in no stenosis group and 1 branch stenosis group (P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS of ≥3 branch stenosis group were significantly higher than those in 2 branch stenosis group (P<0.05). The rate of ARAS of 1 branch stenosis group were significantly higher than those in no stenosis group (P < 0.05). Age, hypertension, moderate or more artery stenosis or occlusion, and≥2 branch stenosis was independent risk factor of ARAS. Conclusions The incidence of ARAS increasesd with the increase of the degree of cerebral artery stenosis and the number of branch involved.Older age, hypertension, moderate or more artery stenosis or occlusion, and≥2 branch stenosis is risk factor for ARAS.

Objective To compare the clinical results of endovenous laser treatment(EVLT),radiofrequency endovenous occlusion(RFO)and conventional stripping combined with transilluminated powered phlebectomy(TIPP)for lower extremity varicose vein.Methods From Jun 2004 to Jan 2007,200 cases(232 limbs)were treated by EVLT with TIPP,80 cases(88 limbs)by RFO with TIPP,and 180 cases(202 limbs)by conventional stripping with TIPP.Operation time,number of the incision made,intraoperative bleeding,postoperative hospital stay,complications,and one-year recurrence rate were compared with each other. Results Operation time was longer(41±8)min in RFO group than that in other two groups.Postoperative hospital stay was shorter in EVLT group(1.2±0.4 d)and RFO group (2.1±0.8 d)than that in stripping and TIPP group(P＜0.05).Patients in stripping group also suffered from more intra-operative bleeding more often incidental nervus saphenus injury and more incision numbers when compared with other two groups(P＜0.05).There was no significant difierence in one-year recurrence rate among patients in the three groups. Conclusions The clinical efficacy is almost the same among the three groups in terms of eradication of the varicose veins.EVLT and RFO are safe and minimal invasive for the treatment of lower extremity varicose vein.

Objective To explore the correlation between illness conception, health seeking behavior and mental health status in recruits. Methods 865 recruits were evaluated by Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Scale of Illness Conception and Health Seeking Behavior (SSICHSB) . Results (1) Except interpersonal sensitivity, depression and hostility, there were significantly differences in other factors of SCL-90 between recruit and the national norm. Somatization and anxiety scres were significantly higher ghan the military norm. The scores of SAS and SDS were significantly higher for recruits compared to national norm. (2) There was negative correlation between the total score, each factor score of SCL-90, the total score of SDS, the total score of SAS and SSICHSB; (3) Stepwise lines regression found three factors including anxiety, the total score of SAS and obsessiveness statistically significant, when the dependent variable was the total score of SSICHSB. Conclusion There are obvious somatization,anxiety and depression in recruits. The more obvious the symptoms are, the more passive the illness conception and health seeking behavior are.
