Recepteur d′origine Nantais(RON),a tyrosine kinase receptor ,is a growth factor receptor belonging to the proto-oncogene met family and has been proved to display abnormal expres?sion in many types of tumors. The RON receptor is activated by binding to the ligand macrophage stim?ulating protein,overexpression of the receptor,variants of the proto-oncogene and by point mutations of the kinase region. The downstream transduction of RON by mitogen-activated protein kinases and phosphoinositide3-kinase signaling pathways can help regulate the proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion of tumor cells. A better understanding of the mechanisms and related signaling pathways of RON activation in tumor progress and development will provide more information for the RON-based target therapy.

Objective: To analyze the correlation of miR-625 expression with clinicopathological characteristics in esophageal squa-mous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to explore the effect of miR-625 on the migration and proliferation of ESCC cells. Methods:The expres-sion level of miR-625 was determined through real-time PCR in 86 paired human ESCC tissue specimens and tumor-adjacent normal esophageal tissue specimens, ESCC cell lines, and esophageal epithelial cell line. The associations of miR-625 expression with clinico-pathological characteristics and survival in ESCC patients were analyzed. Transwell and CCK-8 assays were performed to examine the effect of miR-625 expression on migration and proliferation of ESCC cells. Results:Compared with tumor-adjacent normal specimens, miR-625 was significantly downregulated in ESCC tissue specimens (P<0.05). MiR-625 expression was decreased in ESCC cell lines com-pared with human esophageal epithelial cell lines (P<0.05). Lower miR-625 expression was associated with poorer prognosis and sur-vival. The migration and proliferation abilities of ESCC cells were inhibited by miR-625 overexpression (P<0.05). Conclusion:MiR-625 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in the development and progression of ESCC, suggesting that miR-625 may serve as an efficient prog-nosis biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for ESCC.

BACKGROUND:Caveolin-1 is expressed in mammalian brain and involved in the normal development of the brain, which can affect the proliferation of neural stem cells in the brain. OBJECTIVE:To acquire neural stem cells from caveolin-1 knockout embryonic mice in vitro and study their biological characteristics. METHODS:The whole brain was separated from C57BL/6 mice and caveolin-1 knockout C57BL/6 mice respectively at encyesis 14-16 days. Single cellsuspension was obtained by enzyme digestion, and cultured in the conditioned medium of neural stem cells. Fol owing 7 days of primary culture, the cells were induced in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/Ham’s nutrient mixture F-12 containing 10%fetal bovine serum for 7 days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The major cells of the cellsuspensions from the fetal mouse brain were dead at 1 day after culture, and some single cells floated in the medium and their transmittance were better, and then they gradual y formed multicellular bal s after 3 days. A smal amount of cells were adhered at the bottom of culture plate after passage, and a great amount of cellbal s appeared after 7 days. The proliferation rate of neural stem cells from caveolin-1 knockout mice was higher than that from normal mice. The cellbal s were nestin-positive and their differentiated cells was positive for neurofilament 200, glial fibril ary acidic protein or O4, respectively. Al of the cells from normal mouse brain were positive for caveolin-1, but the cells from caveolin-1 knockout mice were negative for caveolin-1 by immunocytochemistry. Moreover, the speed of cellbal formation and the number of cellbal s in neural stem cells from caveolin-1 knockout mice were better than those from normal mice. Caveolin-1 negative neural stem cells were cultured successful y from caveolin-1 knockout mouse brain, and the results show that caveolin-1 can promote the proliferation of neural stem cells and inhibit their differentiation in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of treating Freiberg's disease with dorsal wedge osteotomy and Charlotte breakage screw fixation.Methods From June 2010 to June 2014,11 patients with Freiberg's disease were treated at our department.They were 5 males and 6 females at an average age of 32 years(range,from 15 to 52 years).X-ray revealed osteosclerosis and collapse of the metatarsal head.According to Smillie classification system,there were 5 cases of stage Ⅱ and 6 ones of stage Ⅲ.The duration of symptoms was from 7 to 48 months (average,23 months).The metatarsal heads were rotated to reconstruct the joint surface.After dorsal closed V-shaped osteotomy,Charlotte breakage screws were implanted.Results All wounds healed with no complications in the early postoperative period.The 11 patients were followed up for 14 to 48 months (average,19 months),showing obvious pain relief.X-ray showed that the osteotomy sites got solid union in all patients at an average time of 10 weeks (range,from 8 to 13 weeks) after operation.Average shortening of the metatarsal was 1.5 mm (range,from 1.1 to 1.8 mm).The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS) score,Lesser Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal Scale(LMIS) score,and range of motion at one day,one month and one year after operation were significantly improved compared with the preoperative ones (P ＜ 0.05).Significant differences were also observed between all postoperative time points (P ＜ 0.05).No such complications happened as referred pain from the adjacent metatarsophalangeal joint,displacement,nonunion,necrosis or infection.All patients returned to sports and recreational activities at 6 months after operation,except one case of stage Ⅲ who had constant swelling in the metatarsophalangeal joint but eventually recovered at 10 months after operation.According to patients' satisfaction at the last follow-ups,including 7 cases were excellent,3 good and one poor.Conclusion Dorsal closed V-shaped osteotomy with Charlotte breakage screw fixation is an effective procedure for Freiberg' s disease of stages Ⅱ and Ⅲ,because it leads to effective reconstruction of the metatarsophalangeal joint,allows early joint motion and avoids a second operation.
