Objective To establish a malignant transformed human fetal osteoblastic human cells from the immortalized cell line hFOB1.19 in order to explore the molecular mechanism in tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma. Methods hFOB1.19 cells were treated sequentially by an initiated factor, N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and a promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). The features of malignancy of transformed cells were identified by cell morphology, DNA content analysis, colony forming frequency on soft agar and tumorigenetic test in nude mice. Results Continuous passaging after the treatments resulted in the formation of a few paramorph foci and exhibited in an extensively random orientation. The poly-ploid of DNA was 81.08% in experiment group, much higher than that in control group (55.03%). Compared with that of negative control cell, colony formation efficiency of transformed cells in semisolid agar showed a a significant increase. The transformed cells formed tumors subcutaneously in the nude mice, which were verified to be poorly differentiated osteosarcoma histopathological examination. Conclusion Mocking the process of malignant transformation of human cells, we establish malignant transformed immortalized human fetal osteoblastic human cells (hFOB1.19) model.

Objective To investigate the effect of costimulatory molecules 4-1BB/4-1BBL on T cell activation with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)patients.Methods The expression of NF-kB mRNA and p38 MAPK mRNA of T cells with 20 SLE patients and 20 normal controls before activation,after activation and blocked bv 4-1BB/4-1BBL were detected bv RT-PCR.The protein levels of p-p38 MAPK and NF-kB were detected by Western blot.Results The expression of NF-kB mRNA and p38 MAPK mRNA and the protein expression of NF-kB and p-p38 MAPK of T cell with SLE patients were higher than that of normal controls(P<0.01).There were more expression of NF-kB mRNA,p38 MAPK mRNA,NF-kB protein and p-p38 MAPK protein of T cell with SLE patients stimulated by anti-CD3 monoantibody(P<0.01).In anti-4-1BB monoantibody blockage group,there were decreased expression of p38 MAPK mRNA and p-p38 MAPK protein(P<0.01).but not the decreased NF-kB mRNA and protein expression.Conclusion Costimulatory molecule 4-1BB plays a critical role in T cell activation of SLE by p38 MAPK signal pathway.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topiramate(TPM) as add - on drug treating infants with severe epilepsy. Methods We performed prospective label add - on study in 12 infants (aged 4 to 19 months) with sever seizures of different types. TPM was add - on one or more other baseline drugs and the efficacy was evaluated according to seizure type and frequency Results TPM initiated in a daily dose of 0.5 - 1 0 mg/kg, followed by a 1 - 2 weeks titration on the increase of 0 5 - 1.0 mg/kg up to a maximum daily dose of 4 - 10 mg/kg. After a mean period of 6 2 months (range 3- 13 montks), Total efficacy was 75 % and 50 % were controlled completely. Seizure frequency was unchanged in 3 patients (25 % ). As for seizure type, TPM was more effective in complex partial as compared with generalized tonic-conic seizures. Mild adverse events were present in 3 patients (25 %), represented hypersonia, fever and decreased speech. Conclusions TPM may be a available drug in infants with severe epilepsy. It is safe, with mild adverse effect in fewer patients.JAppl Clin Pediatr,2004,19(11):986-987

The purpose of this study is to investigate the enantioselectivity of norgestrel (NG) transdermal permeation and the potential influence of linalool and lipids on the enantioselectivity. In vitro skin permeation studies of NG across the excised rat skins were performed with Valia-Chien diffusion cells, and the permeation samples were analyzed by enantioselective HPLC. The possible enantioselective permeation of NG across intact rat back skin and lipids extracted rat back skin and the influence of linalool were evaluated. The skin permeation rate of dl-NG was two times higher than that of l-NG when donor solutions (EtOH/H2O 2 : 8, v/v) containing l-NG or dl-NG. It may be mainly attributed to the solubility discrepancy between enantiomer and racemate. The enantioselective permeation of dl-NG across intact rat skin was observed when the donor solutions containing dl-linalool. The permeation flux of l-NG was 22% higher than that of d-NG. But interestingly, the enantioselective permeation of dl-NG disappeared under the same experimental condition except that the lipid extracted rat skin was used. Attenuated total reflection-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of stratum corneum showed that the wave number for asymmetric CH2 stretching vibrations of lipids treated with dl-linalool was greater than that of the control. The results indicated that the enantioselective permeation of NG may be contributed by the interaction between dl-linalool and lipids. More than half of lipids were composed of ceramides. The stereospecific interaction maybe existed among chiral enhancer (linalool), lipids (ceramides) and/or chiral drugs (NG).

Objective To investigate the effects of ciprofloxacin on anastomotic stoma,small intestinal inflammation and fibrosis in interleukin-10 knock-out mice (mice model of Crohn′s disease (CD)) after ileocaecal resection.Methods Twelve interleukin-10 knockout male C3H/HeJBir mice were evenly divided into control group and ciprofloxacin group.The mice model was established with ileocaecal resection and ileocolostomy.There was no intervention in control group.Ciprofloxacin (50 mg/kg per day)was orally administrated in ciprofloxacin group for four weeks.All the mice were executed.The intestine around anastomotic stoma was taken for hematoxylin-eosin (HE)and Sirius red staining and histological scoring.The level of interferon (IFN)-γand tumor growth factor (TGF)-βin intestine around anastomotic stoma and small intestine was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.The content of procollagen α1 was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The data were analyzed by t test.Results The inflammatory reaction level of anastomotic stoma and small intestine in mice of ciprofloxacin group (2.50±0.55 and 1 .67±0.52)was significantly lower than those of control group (3.67±0.63 and 2.83±0.75 ,t=-8.273,-5 .188,both P <0.05 ).The IFN-γof anastomotic stoma and small intestine also significantly decreased ((0.72 ±0.22 )pg/mg vs (1 .76 ±0.43 )pg/mg, (0.23±0.12)pg/mg vs (0.78 ± 0.52 )pg/mg;t = - 7.354,- 5 .268,both P < 0.05).However, ciprofloxacin could not significantly decrease fibrosis in anastomotic stoma and small intestine of CD mice. There was no significant difference in the level of TGF-βcompared with control group.Conclusions The role of ciprofloxacin in improving inflammatory reation in anastomotic stoma of CD mice was limited. Maintenance therapy may be necessary to reduce the relapse of anastomotic stoma diseases.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility,technique and preliminary clinical results of the intraoperative three-dimensional (3-D) computer navigation system assisted free vascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.Methods From October 2010 to April 2013,14 patients (18 hips) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head were treated by free vascularized fibular graft transfer,assisted by intraoperative3-D computer navigation system.Of 18 hips,8 were classified as stage Ⅱ ;6 as stage Ⅲ,4 as stage Ⅳ according to Steinberg system.The entire procedures were visualized and guided by the 3-D navigation system,including location of optimal entry point,exploration of the field,excision of the necrotic bone tissues,and the fibular grafting transfer with vessel anastomosis.The follow-up records included the results of X-ray,the Harris score of the hip,and the complications.Results Operations of all 14 patients (18 hips) were smooth and successful with patent vessel and umcompromised grafts evidenced by ECT scan at day 7 postoperatively.Postoperative X-ray confirmed the complete eradication of necrotic focuses with surrounding calcified bone and the accurate positioning of fibular grafts.The mean follow-up period was 23.6 months (8-29 months).Harris scores significantly improved from 57.5 ± 14.5 before operations to 87.5 ±2.5 after,with 6 hips' scores classified as Excellent,and 11 as Good.X-ray obtained more than 1 year after operation suggested improvement was achieved in 15 hips.Conclusion Intraoperative 3-D computer navigation system has multiple merits in assisting free vascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head,including clear anatomic structure,better accuracy,less damage,and reliable functional recovery,which imply it is a highly applicable approach.
