BACKGROUND:Titanium materials have high mechanical strength, stable physical properties, good biocompatibility, and excelent corrosion resistance, which can be safely used in humans. OBJECTIVE:To compare the safety of mesh-like titanium aloy steel plateversus wire mesh in the repair of chest wal defects. METHODS:Eighteen patients with chest wal defects, 11 males and 7 females, with an age range of 19-65 years, were enroled. The 9 of 18 patients were subjected to repair with mesh-like titanium aloy steel plate, and the other 9 patients underwent wire mesh repair. At 1 week after repair, visual analog scale scores were measured in the two groups, and patient’s satisfaction on the thoracic appearance and incidence of complications were surveyed during the folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Al patients were folowed up for 1-7 years. During the folow-up, X-ray review displayed good thoracic stability and no fracture of titanium plate and wire mesh. Patients recovered wel from respiratory dysfunction, with unapparent chest wal deformity and high satisfaction rate of the thoracic appearance. Moreover, compared with the wire mesh group, the satisfaction rate of the thoracic appearance was significantly higher (P< 0.05), but the incidence of complications was significantly lower in the titanium plate group (P < 0.05). At 1 week after repair, the visual analog scale scores had no difference between the two groups (P> 0.05). These findings indicate that the mesh-like titanium plate has good biocompatibility and safety to effectively maintain the stability of the chest wal.

Mouse AtlasTM cDNA Arrays were used for comparative studies of gene expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) before and after in vitro cultivation and 24 types of differentially expressed genes were identified. To screen and identify the differentially expressed new genes of MEF, cDNA suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique was used. The cDNAs derived from cultured MEF after SSH were subcloned into pGEM T easy vectors to set up the subtractive library, transfected into E. coli strain JM109, sequenced and analyzed with bio informatics methods after PCR amplification.Altogether 42 types differentially expressed genes and 3 novel ESTs were identified and categorized from total 128 ESTs derived from cultured MEF after SSH. It is suggested that the genes expressed by MEF were the important molecular basis supporting the survival, proliferation and self renewal capacities of embryonic stem cells.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of adenocarcinoma of bladder. Methods The data of 20 cases of adenocarcinoma of bladder from 1986 to 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent operation and the diagnosis was proven by histopathologic examination. Results Eighteen cases were primary adenocarcinoma of bladder,8 cases applied to radical cystectomy and 10 cases partial cystectomy. Two cases were urachal adenocarcinoma,and received extended partial cystectomy.Seventeen patients were followed up for 3 months to 5 years. The one-year survival rate was 52.9% (9/17),two-year survival rate 41.2% (7/17),and five-year survival rate 29.4% (5/17). Conclusion Radical total cystectomy is the best choice for primary adenocarcinoma of bladder and extended partial cystectomy for urachal adenocarcinoma. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy after operation can improve the treatment effect.

Objective To study the molecular mechanism of the apoptosis in rat tubular epithelial cells induced by albumin in vitro.Methods The cultured rat renal tubular epithelial cells were incubated with 20 mg/ml delipidated and endotoxin-free bovine serum albumin(BSA) for 2,6,12 and 24 h respectively.The NF-?B activity was assessed by electrophonetic mobility shift assay(EMSA) and the osteopontin(OPN) mRNA expression was analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry.Results The rate of apoptosis was increased when the cultured rat renal tubular epithelial cells were incubated with 20 mg/ml BSA for 2,6,12 and 24 h respectively.The NF-?B activity and expression of OPN were up-regulated in the cultured rat renal tubular epithelial cells with the treatment of BSA,with significant difference compared with those of the control group(P

Protein is the executor of physiological function, and direct embodiment of the life phenomena. Proteomics aims to systematically clarify all or parts of proteins' role and function in life movement. In post genome era, proteomics began to play more important role in life science field. Actinobacteria are closely linked to human production and life, which have produced many clinically important secondary metabolites, including antibiotics, antitumorals and enzymes. Actinobacterial systematics and its model organism Streptomyces coelicolor in 2001 genome sequence laid the foundation for further functional genomic studies. Actinobacterial proteomics was more directly and exactly to interpret the activity of life than genomics and transcriptomics, which grew much faster and received so much attention from scientists in the near years. Complex morphological differention, stronge environment adaptiveness, nitrogen-fixing capacity, metabolic mechanism, pathogenicity and natural produces' discovery were systematically reviewed in this study, which was expected to be the basis for promoting Actinobacterial proteomics study in the near future.

BACKGROUND:Immunosuppressants fight against acute rejections by influencing humoral and celular immune to suppress the immune function, and then improve patient/renal graft survival. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of alemtuzumab, daclizumab and antithymocyte globulin in inducing immunosuppression in kidney transplantation. METHODS:The randomized controled trials of alemtuzumab or daclizumabversusATG in kidney tranplantation published from 1966 to 2011 were enroled by searching PubMed and EMBASE using Cochrane systematic review. We colected data and major outcomes. And a meta-analysis was conducted on homogeneous studies. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 9 randomized controled trials (777 patients) about kidney transplantation were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the safety items including patient/renal graft survival and acute rejection at a folow-up of 24 months had no statistical differences among the three drugs (al P > 0.05). But there was a significant difference between the infection rates of alemtuzumab and antithymocyte globulin at 36 months of folow-up (P < 0.05). The results indicate that alemtuzumab, daclizumab and antithymocyte globulin are equaly effective in inducing immunosuppression at a folow-up of 24 months in kidney transplantation. However, compared to antithymocyte globulin, alemtuzumab has a lower rate of infection at a folow-up of 36 months.

BACKGROUND:A variety of embryonic stem cells induction and differentiation systems have been established so far, while the research that promotes embryonic stem cells to differentiate into hematopoietic stem cells is stil at an initial stage, and the induction efficiency needs to be improved.
OBJECTIVE:To active the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in mouse embryonic stem cells with exogenous win3a as an inducer, and then to observe whether the activation of this pathway wil promote the directional differentiation of embryonic stem cells into hematopoietic progenitor cells.
METHODS:The ES-E14TG2a mouse stem cells were cultured with the exogenous wnt3a (100 μg/L) for 21 days, the content ofβ-catenin was tested by cellimmunofluorescence and western blot, and expression of Wnt downstream target gene was detected by quantitative reverse transcription PCR to determine the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway. Single-layer adherent culture method was used to induce the directional differentiate of above-mentioned cells into hematopoietic stem cells, and detection of hematopoietic development associated surface marker CD34+/Sca-1+was achieved by flow cytometry;meanwhile, the expression of hematopoietic associated gene was measured by quantitative reverse transcription PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We found thatβ-catenin accumulated in ES-E14TG2a mouse stem cells after cultured with wnt3a (100 μg/L) for 21 days;the expressions of Wnt downstream target genes such as Pitx2, Frizzled, Sox17 and Oct4 showed the different degrees in increase, meaning the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway. Furthermore, during the time that we used single-layer adherent culture method to induce hematopoietic stem cells, the CD34+/Sca-1+cells accounted for 20.2%of total cells at day 14, and control cells only accounted for 11.9%. Again, expression quantity of hematopoietic associated gene BMP4, FLK2 and CD34 increased while Smad5 was suppressed significantly. Our data suggest that sustaining action by wnt3a wil active Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway, and also promote the directional differentiation of ES-E14TG2a mouse stem cells into hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Objective To expand the utilization of minimally invasive technologies for parapancreatic abscess,and summarize the application experience of choledochoscope for treatment of parapancreatic abscess.Methods The clinical data and treatment effectiveness of 36 patients with parapancreatic abscess from Dec.2000 to Dec.2008 were analyzed retrospectively.These patients had experienced percutaneous puncture and been placed drainage tube under the ultrasound guidance first,then expanded the sinus tract gradually,and performed debridement by choledochoscope.The flexibility of choledochoscope was used to remove the necrotic tissue and pyogenic membrane repeatedly by clamping,netting and vacuum aspiration in every domain.Results Thirty-six patients were performed percutaneous puncture and placed drainage tube,3 cases were given canalis singularis,7 cases were double tube,26 cases were over three tube.The debridement times were 3-14 by choledochoscope,average 5.6 times.There were 6 cases with improving systemic symptoms,blood routine and temperature recovering normal,and drink and food recovering,then discharged from hospital with tube after 1-2 times of debridement.Length of stay was 25-132 d,average 76 d.The curing rate was 91.7% (33/36).Two cases were turned into open surgery because of broad necrotic tissue range combined with many abdominal cavity abscess with good postoperative recovery and cured.One case was dead of severe multiple organ failure combination.There were 2 patients with hemorrhage,3 patients with external intestinal fistula.Conclusions The debridement of choledochoscope for parapancreatic abscess treatment is a simple,flexible and effective method.It changes the viewpoint that parapancreatic abscess can be cured only by operation drainage,decreases the patients’ trauma and accomplishes the idea of damage control by minimally invasive technologies.
