Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) in neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with local advanced gastric carcinoma.Methods Clinicopathological data of 68 patients with local advanced gastric cancer were retrospectively analyzed and enrolled as treatment group.All the patients in the treatment group achieved 3-4 cycles chemotherapy of SOX regimen preoperatively.Outcomes of tumor remission after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were evaluated according to RECISI1.1 criteria.Meanwhile,70 patients who underwent operation directly after pathological diagnosis of local advanced gastric cancer during the same period were recruited as control group.Resection rate,R0 resection rate,postoperative complications rate and postoperative progression free survival(PPFS) time were compared between the two groups.Results In the treatment group,after neoadjuvant chemotherapy,4 cases (5.9％) achieved complete renission,36 cases (52.9％) achieved partial remission.Meanwhile,the numbers of cases with stable disease and progressive disease were 15 cases(22.1％) and 13 cases (19.1％) respectively.The objective remission rate and disease control rate in the treatment group were 58.8％ and 80.9％ respectively.The tumor resection rate,R0 resection rate,postoperative complications rate in the treatment group were 92.6％,85.3％ and 14.7％ respectively.The R0 resection rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(x2 =8.042,P ＜ 0.05).However,the differences of tumor resection rate and postoperative complications rate between the two groups were not statistically significant (x2 =1.711,0.673,all P ＞ 0.05).The median time of PPFS in the treatment group and the control group was 36 months and 30 months respectively,there was statistically significant difference in PPFS between the two groups (x2 =4.049,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The neoadjuvant chemotherapy of S-1 plus oxaliplatin for local advanced gastric carcminoma has satisfactory short-term effect and can also improve PPFS.However,further investigation is required to observe the effect of this neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen on postoperative overall survival.

Objective: To explore the effects of zinc on bone development in vitro. Methods: Mice of 16 gestation were killed by snapping cervical vertebra, and the front limbs were cut off and cultured in basic medium. Which contained 20 ?mol/L Zn 2+ (control group). In Zn deprived group, the basic medium was added TPEN to final concentration 20 ?mol/L. In other three groups, the basic medium was added ZnSO 4 to final concentration of Zn 2+ at 45, 70, and 120 ?mol/L respectively. Results: 1. Compared with control limb(uncultivated),the test limb(cultivated for 6 d)showed longer bone length and higher bone density.Histological analysis showed active bone cell differentiation, proliferation, increased bone trabecula.2.Compared with control group, the Zn-deprived and Zn 2+ 120 ?mol/L group expressed decreased osteocalcin (OC) and 45 Ca content and lower activity of AKP; Zn 2+ 45 ?mol/L and 70 ?mol/L group presented increased OC and 45 Ca content and higher activity of AKP.3.Compared with the control group, Zn-deprived and Zn 2+ 120?mol/L group showed shorter bone length and lower bone density; Zn 2+ 45 ?mol/L and 70?mol/L group showed longer bone length and higher bone density. Conclusion: Zinc is involved in bone metabolism and growth; both zinc-deficiency and zinc-excess can alter bone growth and normal metabolism.

Background Research comfirmed that second mitochondrial activator of caspase (Smac) is a promoting tumor cell apoptosis protein.Our previous study showed that the expression level of Smac in LECs is obviously higher in cataract than that in normal eyes.We assumed that silencing Smac gene in LECs can inhibit the apoptosis of LECs.The way to transfect Smac siRNA into LECs is a key step.Objective This study was to construct siRNA lentiviral vector of Smac and identify its silencing efficiency in human lens epithelial B3 cell line (HLE-B3) and establish low-expressed Smac HLE-B3 line.Methods Based on the genebank and our previous study,siRNA sequence of Smac was designed and composed.The synthetic double-stranded DNA was linked to the lentiviral vector GVll8 by T4 DNA ligase and then transformed DH5α competent cells.The plasmids were transformed into the DH5α competent cells.Recombinant colonies were screened by PCR and sequenced.Recombinant plasmids and two other auxiliary plasmids were used to infect 293T cells.Cell culture supernatant was collected for the measurement of viral titer.Recombinant lentiviral vector was used to infect HLE-B3 cells to calculate the viral multiplicity of infection (MOI) under the fluorescence microscope.Transfection efficiency was examined by calculating the GFP-positive cells.HLE-B3 cells were divided into negative control group,siRNA plasmid tranfected group and GV118-Smac-siRNA1 tranfected group.The relative expression levels of Smac mRNA in the cells were detected and compared among the three groups by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.Results GV118-Smac-siRNA was successfully constructed with the positive colonies 340 bp and blank vector colonies 299 bp,and viral titer was 3.0× 108 TU/ml.At a MOI of 100,the infecting efficiency of the vector on HLE-B3 cells was about 82％ and the cytotoxicity was low.The relative expression levels of Smac mRNA were (101.290±8.349)％,(92.330±6.320)％ and (32.540±4.221)％ in the negative control group,siRNA plasmid tranfected group and GV118-Smac-siRNA1 tranfected group,respectively,showing a significant difference among the three groups(F =32.871,P＜0.01),and the relative expression level of Smac mRNA was significantly lower in the GV118-Smac-siRNA1 tranfected group than that in the negative control group (P =0.000).However,no significant difference was found in the Smac mRNA expression between the blank plasmid group and the negative control group (P=0.535).Conclusions GV118-Smac-siRNA lentiviral vector is successfully constructed.Smac-siRNA can effectively inhibit the expression of Smac mRNA in human LECs.

Conclusions ERCP is an important method for the preoper ative diagnosis of CDF. The choledochojejunostomy with the common bile transvers ed cat duct is a recommended procedure to CDF.

50 000 bp)was extracted from frozen gastric cancer tissue and their corresponding normal samples and used for RLGS assay.The genome DNA was digested by methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme Not Ⅰ, and labeled by radioisotope ~(32)p,then separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis and autoradiography. Experimental conditions for each step were optimized step by step.DNA fragment sequences for the dots on scanning profile were identified according to the human RLGS database.Results RLGS assay was set up and used to get the RLGS profiles of the representative tested samples successfully.These profiles can display more than 1 200 available dots averagely,the profiles of high quality DNA sample can display more than 1 800 dots which is the average level at an excellent RLGS lab,discrepant dots which had weaken or enhanced signals and their sequence information were obtained.The result can be reproduced.Conclusion The RLGS assay is established,stabilized for detection of DNA methylation of tissue samples.

Objective To observe the effect of neural stem cell (NSC)transplantation on the hindlimb motor function and caspase-3 expression of motor cortex (MC) in spinal cord transected (SCT) rats. Methods S prague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operated group, operation group( T9 transection), and subacute NSC transplantation group. The MC of each group( n= 8 )was harvested 7 days post operation (dpo), then western blot was employed to detect the level of caspase-3( β-actin was used as control ). The left 5 animals of each group were subjected to BBB score evaluation at 16th week,then the animals were sacrificed and the MC was harvested and performed immunostain by using caspase-3 rabbit antibody. Results Following NSC transplanta tion, BBB scores( ( 7.58 ± 0. 99 ) ) increased significantly than seen in the SCT animals( ( 5.16 ± 1.19) ). The expressional level of caspase-3 at 7day post operation was( (0.89 + 0.12)) in MC of SCT rats,while it decreased significantly to( (0.76 + 0.11 ) ) in NSC transplantation rats(P＜0.05). The immunoreactive stain of caspase-3 was seen in the cytoplasm of pyramidal neuron in the cortex. Conclusion NSC engraft can downregulate the expression of caspase-3, corresponding to a significant improvement in hindlimb motor function. These findings indicate that NSC transplantation probably regulate the expression of apoptosis genes in MC to promote neurological function recovery in rats subjected SCT.
