BACKGROUND: Human pulp tissue has been known to be less, and exhibit poor tolerance to enzymatic digestion and less adherent cells after step-by-step digestion of trypsin and collagenase, thereby often leading to a failure of passage. Only several kinds of dental pulp cells with poor activity can be obtained by the tissue explant-collagenase digestion. OBJECTIVE: To investigate human dental pulp cells cultured in vitro by tissue explant method. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A cytological observation was performed at Heping Campus and School of Stomatology, Jilin University from 2005 to 2007. MATERIALS: Healthy young human teeth extracted for orthodontic correction or impaction. METHODS: Pulp tissue from the third molar teeth was collected, cut into small blocks with a size of 1.0 mm×1.0 mm×0.5 mm under the infiltration of small amount of Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium, and then transferred into a 6-well plate containing culture medium for incubation in a 5% CO2 and saturated humidity atmosphere at 37 ℃. During the process of incubation, pulp tissue was adjusted at a density of 3-6 blocks/well, with an equal spacing of 0.5 cm and the 6-well plate was kept inverted. Three hours later, the 6-well plate was turned over to make tissue blocks adhering to the plate wall. Culture was continued after addition of 2 mL of culture medium. Culture medium was renewed every 4-6 days. After 6-15 days, cells emigrated from the edge of tissue blocks and call outgrowth appeared around each tissue block. When cells closed to confluency, a digestion procedure of 2.0-3.0 minutes (0.25% trypsin and 0.02% ethylenadiamine tetraacetic acid) was followed by passage culture at a proportion of 1: (2-3) in 25 mL of culture flasks. Purified fibroblast-like cells were gradually obtained from primarily cultured cells by repeated digestion and passage. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cellular morphology was identified by immunohistochemistry; secreted dental pulp cells were determined using alkaline phosphatase activity; the growth curves of human pulp tissue cells were depicted by MTT assay. RESULTS: Under an inverted phase contrast microscope, the obtained dental pulp cells were primarily typical fibroblasts with a long-shuttled appearance, well-rounded call body, uniform cytoplasm, round or oval nucleus, and clear nucleolus. Immunohistochemistry results showed call surface vimentin-positive, pan cytokeratin-negative, and alkaline phosphatase-posltive These cells were decreased after culturing 1 day, were slightly increased after 2 days, entered the logarithmic growth period and were markedly increased after 4 days, entered a platform period after 8 days, and began to decrease again after 9 days. The whole growth curve of cells appeared in "S" shape.CONCLUSION: The dental pulp cells isolated from human pulp tissue by tissue explant method can effectively proliferate end retain a poody differentiated state in vitro.

Objective To explore the influence factors of poor myocardial perfusion in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction( STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods One hundred and forty-three patients with first STEMI who were on admission from April 2010 to May 2014 and underwent primary PCI within 12 hours were enrolled as our subjects. According to the sum-ST-segment resolution(sumSTR)and TIMI myocardial perfusion grade(TMP)after primary PCI,all patients were divided into well myocardial perfusion group( sumSTR ≥ 50% or TMP 2 - 3 grade)and poor myocardial perfusion group(sumSTR < 50% and TMP 0 - 1 grade). The influence factors between two groups were collected and analyzed,including sex,age,pain to balloon time,blood pressure on admission,left ventricular ejection fraction,leucocyte count,neutrophil ratio(NR),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),blood lipid,and the history of hypertension,diabetes mellitus. Results The leucocytes count,NR,hs-CRP in patients of poor myocardial perfusion group were(11. 60 ± 3. 57)× 109 / L,0. 84 ± 0. 06 and 9. 80 ± 11. 37 mg/ L,higher than those in well myocardial perfusion group((9. 51 ± 2. 59)× 109 / L,0. 77 ± 0. 11 and(3. 83 ± 5. 58)mg/ L),and the differences were significant(t = 3. 497,P = 0. 001;t = 3. 390,P = 0. 001;t = 3. 973,P < 0. 001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that neutrophil ratio was independent risk factor of sumSTR in STEMI patient after primary PCI(P = 0. 000). Conclusion The increase of leucocyte count,NR and hs-CRP are related to the poor myocardial perfusion after primary PCI. The increase of neutrophil ratio is an independent risk factor of poor myocardial perfusion.

Aim To investigate the efficacy and mech-anism of FW-04-806 against HER2-positive gastric cancer cell lines,and the combination effect of FW-04-806 with lapatinib. Methods MTT assay was used to assess cell proliferous inhibition of FW-04-806 . The in-hibitory effect of colony formation was tested by colony formation. The protein expression, apoptotic induction and cell cycle arrest were detected by flow cytometry. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to investigate protein-protein interactions. The expression change of proteins was showed by immunohistochemistry. Western blot was applied to reveal the protein expression of related pro-liferous and apoptotic signaling pathway. The tumor growth inhibition was evaluated in tumor xenograft model. Results FW-04-806 obviously inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation in HER2 positive gastric cancer cell lines NCI-N87, OE19, with IC50 of (24. 17 ± 0. 02 ) , ( 29. 61 ± 0. 03 ) μmol · L-1 , re-spectively;FW-04-806 induced G2-M arrest and apop-tosis in a dose-dependent manner;200 mg · kg-1 of FW-04-806 showed tumor growth inhibition of 48. 0%( P < 0. 01 ) . In addition, FW-04-806 dissociated Hsp90/CDC37 complex, followed by degradation of HER2 and Akt,inhibiting the phosporylation of HER2, Akt and ERK, and increasing expression of apoptotic proteins,such as cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved parp. Furthermore,the combination of FW-04-806 with lapa-tinib in vitro was synergistic in NCI-N87 , which en-hanced the inhibition of cell proliferation and increased apoptotic rates. Conclusions FW-04-806 shows po-tent efficacy against HER2-positive gastric cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo;FW-04-806 is synergistic with lapatinib.

Objective To investigate image quality and clinical value of dual-source dual energy virtual non-contrast (VNC) CT of the head. MethodsSixty-two patients suspected of cerebrovascular diseases underwent conventional non-contrast (CNC) CT and dual energy CTA examination of the head with dual-source CT. Virtual non-contrast images were reconstructed using dual energy software. The CT values of gray matter, white matter, cerebrospinal fluid, hyperdense hemorrhagic lesion and hypodense ischemic lesion were compared between CNC and VNC images. A four-score scale was used to assess image quality subjectively. Image noise, radiation dosage and detection rate were compared between CNC and VNC images. Paired t test, Wilcoxon signed ranks test and Chi-square test (McNemar test and Kappa test) were used. Results The CT value on CNC and VNC images, were (43. 3 ± 1.5) and (33. 2 ± 1.3) HU for gray matter (t = 46.98, P < 0. 01), (32. 9 ± 1.3) and (28.8 ± 1.6) HU for white matter(t = 16. 28, P <0.01), (9.0 ± 1.4) and (5.3 ± 1.9) HU for cerebrospinal fluid (t=12.41, P<0.01),(62.8 ±10.0) and (51.3 ± 11.5) HU for hyperdense lesion (Z = -4.37, P < 0.01), (20.7 ±4.7) and (18.0 ±6. 9) HU for hypodense lesion (t = 3. 84, P < 0. 01), respectively. VNC images[(1.63 ±0.34) HU]had more noise than CNC images[(0.99±0.18) HU](Z= -6.41, P<0.01). VNC [(0. 53 ± 0. 08) mSv]had less effective dose than CNC[(1.37 ± 0. 23) mSy](Z= - 6. 45, P < 0. 01).In subjective assessment, VNC images had more noise (2. 7 ± 0. 5 for VNC and 3.9 ± 0. 3 for CNC,Z = -6. 84, P < 0. 01) and skull base-related artifacts (2. 4 ± 0. 9 for VNC and 3.7 ± 0. 5 for CNC,Z = -6. 15, P <0. 01) than CNC images. The gray/white matter contrast (1.3 ± 0. 5 for VNC and 3.3 ±0. 6 for CNC, Z = - 7. 01, P < 0. 01), hyperdense lesion display (3.0 ± 0. 4 for VNC and 4. 0 ± 0. 0 for CNC,Z = -4. 52, P < 0. 01) and hypodense lesion display (3.2 ± 0. 8 for VNC and 3.9 ± 0. 3 for CNC,Z= -3. 12, P <0. 01) on VNC images were lower than those on CNC images. In per-patient analysis,29 cases of hyperdense lesion (hemorrhage) were found on VNC images without misdiagnosis. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were all 100. 0% (29/29,33/33, 29/29, 33/33). VNC images had the same detection rate of hyperdense lesions as CNC images (P >0. 05, Kappa = 1. 000) at per-patient level. Twenty-two patients with hypodense ischemic lesions were found on VNC images with one false positive case and two false negative cases. The sensitivity,specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 91.3% (21/23), 97.4%(38/39), 95.5% (21/22) and 95.0% (38/40) respectively. No statistical difference was found in detecting hypodense lesions between VNC and CNC images (χ2 = 0. 00, P > 0. 05, Kappa = 0. 895). In per-lesion analysis, 53 hemorrhage lesions were found on VNC images with false negative results of four lesions and no false positive result. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 93.0% (53/57), 100. 0% (38/38), 100. 0% (53/53) and 90. 5% (38/42)respectively. There was no significant difference in detection rate of hyperdense lesion between VNC and CNC images (χ2 =2. 25, P >0. 05, Kappa =0. 914). Thirty-eight hypodense lesions were found on VNC images with 2 false positive lesions and 13 false negative lesions. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 73.5% (36/49), 96.4% (53/55), 94. 7% (36/38)and 80. 3% (53/66) respectively. The detection rate of hypodense lesion on VNC images was lower than that on CNC images (χ2 = 6. 67 ,P < 0.01, Kappa = 0. 707). Conclusion Compared with CNC images,head VNC images have reduced image quality and radiation dosage. VNC images can replace CNC images potentially in detecting intracranial hemorrhage and provide information for ischemic cerebrovascular diseases to some extent.
