BACKGROUND:Basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)belongs to active peptide,which is an effective mitogenic factor.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of bFGF on proliferation and differentiation of monkey bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs)into neuronal precursor cells.METHODS:Monkey BMMSCs were in vitro cultured by density gradient centrifugation,and then divided into 4 groups after passaged,namely,control,bFGF with low,medium and high concentration groups.In the bFGF groups,0,3,6,10 μ/L bFGFwere applied.The proliferation of BMMSCs in each group were observed.The 5th BMMSCs were cultured with serum free L-DMEM culture medium containing 20 mg/L cryptotanshinone to differentiated into neuraMike cells.The expression of positive-nestin protein was detected by immunohistochemical method.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group,proliferation rate of BMMSCs in the bFGF groups were accelerated(P < 0.05),which showed a positive correlation to the concentration of bFGF.The positive-nestin protein could be found in the low and medium concentration groups at 0.5 hours after induction,and reached a peak at 1.5 hours,which increased obviously in the low concentration group than that of the high concentration group(P < 0.05).bFGF can promote BMMSCs proliferation in vitro,enhance inducing ratio of prophase neuron-like cells at lower concentration but inhibit differentiation at high level.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), as a nuclear transcription regulator of the hypoxic response, is up-regulated during hypoxia, and it regulates a series of downstream target gene expression, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, glucose transporter and erythropoietin through binding with hypoxia response element. It plays important roles in angiogenesis, anerobic metabolism, cell survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation.This article reviews the structure, function and activity regulation of HIF-1 and its roles in acute ischemic brain injury.

Objective To evaluate laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Methods 8 patients presented clinical stages pT 1b to pT 2 prostate cancer.Laparoscopic radical prostatecomy was carried out transperitoneally with combining posterior and anterior approachs to the prostate,transecting the bladder neck,lateral dissection of the prostate and urethrovesical anastomosis. Results The operation time was 5 to 11 h with an average of 7.3 h and the blood loss 200 to 1 100 ml,averaged 620 ml.All the patients recovered well and uneventful with no complications such as urethral stricture or incontinence. Conclusions Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a better approach and least invasive.The procedure provides clear anatomic vision that facilitates operative performance and quicker recovery.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of functional reconstructive technique of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) for organ confined prostate cancer. Methods From October 2000 to September 2004,54 patients with organ confined prostate cancer (TNM stage of T 1b-T 2) underwent LRP.After completion of the first group of 15 consecutive cases (group A) by Monstouris techniques, the functional reconstructive surgical technique, which is basically composed of anatomical radical prostatectomy,was introduced to LRP in the second group of 39 consecutive cases (group B).These techniques mainly consisted of preservation of urethral and bladder outlet sphincter muscles,reconstruction of bladder neck,and fine anastomosis between urethra and bladder neck with fixation of anterior wall of anastomotic stoma and retropubic vascular complex.The operative time, bleeding volume,complications,continence recovery time and PSA level were comparatively analyzed between the 2 groups. Results All the operations were successful in 54 patients.In group A and group B,the mean operative time was 390 min(range,270-660 min)vs 240 min(range,180-360 min);the mean bleeding volume was 430 ml(range,200-1100 ml) vs 160 ml(100-400 ml);the complication rate was 40% (6/15) vs 13% (5/39) and the continence recovery time was on average 6 months vs 3 months,respectively. There were statistically significant differences in these parameters between the 2 groups (P

Objective To describe the ureteroplasty of congenital obstructive megaureter by laparoscopy and to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of laparoscopic intervention for congenital obstructive megaureter. Methods Six patients with congenital obstructive megaureter were prepared for the laparoscopic surgery.The surgical procedure was briefly described as follows.The dilated ureter was dissected and cut off near the ureter orifice to the bladder by laparoscopy.Next,the free ureter was pulled out through the skin trocar site and was tailored as open surgery.After that,the ureter was placed back to the abdominal cavity and reimplanted laparoscopically into the bladder. Results The operation duration was 2 to 4 h (mean 2.4 h) and blood loss was very little (20~35 ml).No complication developed.The double J stent was removed at 3 months after the operation.Follow-up for half to 2 years showed that all the ureter drainage in the 6 cases was well without any infection. Conclusions Our preliminary result shows that laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective method for treatment of megaureter.

BACKGROUND:Human has a high level heritability in physical performance. With the development of technology and test method in molecular biology, the researchers of sport science are concerned with the influence of gene variation on the elite athlete performance. They begin to know the important value of gene on predicting the physical performance.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research results in the field of gene polymorphisms and elite athlete performance and to expatiate the problems in these researches, thereby offering some proposals.
METHODS:A computer-based online research of PubMed and CNKI databases was performed to col ect articles published from 1998 to 2013 with the key words“elite athlete performance, gene polymorphisms, endurance, power, training response”in Chinese and English. There were 150 articles after the initial survey. A total of 80 articles were included according inclusion and exclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The researches of this field are mainly focused on the three aspects:elite endurance performance, elite power performance, and training response, which are associated with gene polymorphisms. The main genes related to elite endurance performance are ACE, mtDNA, PPAR, ADR, GNB3, NRF2, etc. The main genes related to elite power performance are ACTN3, ACE, GDF-8, IL-6, HIF-1, etc. The main genes related to training response are HBB, TFAM, NRF2, AR, FECH, etc. Several gaps in the current researches have been identified including smal sample size of most athletic cohorts, lack of corroboration with replication cohorts of different ethnic backgrounds. The numerous research findings can be applied to the gene selection of athletes by creating some kinds of algorithms and models.
