Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of immediate intravesical instillation combined with short-term maintained intravesical instillat.ion chemotherapy of pirarubicin (THP) after operation for preventing postoperative recurrence of superficial bladder tumor.Methods One hundred and seven patients with superficial bladder tumor were divided by random digits table method into two groups:group A (50 cases ) was treated with immediate intravesical instillation combined with short-term maintained intravesical instillation chemotherapy after operation,and group B (57 cases) was treated with conventional intravesical instillation chemotherapy.Patients in group A underwent intravesical instillation of THP within 24 hours,maintained intravesical instillation once a week for 8 weeks.Patients in group B underwent intravesical instillation of THP in one or two weeks after operation,once a week for 8 weeks.And then once a month for 10 months.All patients were followed up with regular cystoscopy examination.Results Patients were followed up for 13-84 months,the incidence of partial vesical toxic reaction in group A was 26.00 ％ (13/50),general symptom rate was 4.00％ ( 2/50 ),the rate of recurrency was 16.00％ ( 8/50 ).The incidence of partial vesical toxic reaction in group B was 22.81％( 13/57 ),general symptom rate was 1.75％( 1/57 ),the rate of recurrency was 19.30％ (11/57).There was no significant differences between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Immediate intravesical instillation of THP after operation is safe and effective,but it is not suitable for patients with obvious bladder perforation and large wound surface of bladder mucosa after transurethral rescection.Immediate intravesical instillation combined with short-term maintained intravesical instillation chemotherapy of THP after operation for preventing postoperative recurrence of superficial bladder tumor is effective and well tolerated.

Objective:To evaluate prognosis factors of primary vaginal cancer. Methods:Data of 80 patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Gynecology and Oncology of Guangxi Tumor Hospital from January 2003 to January 2015 were retrospectively ana-lyzed. All the patients were divided into radiotherapy group (n=49) and surpery group (n=31). Based on radiation mode, the patients with radiotherapy were divided into two-dimensional radiotherapy group (n=29) and three-dimensional radiotherapy (3DRT) group (n=20). Prognosis and complications between two subgroups were compared. Surgical patients were divided into laparoscopic surgery group (n=16) and laparotomy surgery group (n=15) with comparing therapeutic feasibility of video-laparoscopic operation and laparot-omy for primary vaginal carcinoma treatment. Results:Univariate analysis showed that FIGO stage, pathology, tumor size, and extent of vaginal mass involvement were related to prognosis (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that FIGO stage and pathology were in-dependent prognostic factors. Statistical differences of 5-year survival were significant between 2DRT (20.9%) and 3DRT (58.6%) groups (P=0.022). Incidences of urinary tract (14/29, 48.27%) and gastrointestinal symptoms (15/29, 51.72%) in 2DRT group and in 3DRT (3/20,15%;4/20,20%) are different significantly (P<0.05). Hospitalization days of laparotomy surgery group (57.00 ± 41.75) were significantly longer than that of laparoscopic surgery group (29.56 ± 7.30) (P=0.024). Conclusion: Applying laparoscopic surgery and 3DRT improved quality of life without decreasing survival rate of patients with vaginal cancer.

The contribution of particles to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity has been enlightened by epidemiologic and experimental studies. However, adverse biological effects of the particles with different sizes on cardiovascular cells have not been well recognized. In this study, sub-cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to increasing concentrations of pure quartz particles (DQ) of three sizes (DQPM1, <1 μm; DQPM3-5, 3-5 μm; DQPM5, 5 μm) and carbon black particles of two sizes (CB0.1, <0.1 μm; CB1, <1 μm) for 24 h. Cytotoxicity was estimated by measuring the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cell viability. Nitric oxide (NO) generation and cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) releases were analyzed by using NO assay and enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. It was found that both particles induced adverse biological effects on HUVECs in a dose-dependent manner. The size of particle directly influenced the biological activity. For quartz, the smaller particles induced stronger cytotoxicity and higher levels of cytokine responses than those particles of big size. For carbon black particles, CB0.1 was more capable of inducing adverse responses on HUVECs than CB1 only at lower particle concentrations, in contrast to those at higher concentrations. Meanwhile, our data also revealed that quartz particles performed stronger cell damage and produced higher levels of TNF-α than carbon black particles, even if particles size was similar. In conclusion, particle size as well as particle composition should be both considered in assessing vascular endothelial cells injury and inflammation responses induced by particles.

Malignant tumors are major diseases that endanger human health. Due to their complex and variable microenvironment, most anti-tumor drugs cannot precisely reach the focal tissue and be released in a controlled manner. Intelligent responsive nano carriers have become a hot spot in the field of anti-tumor drug delivery systems. As an excellent nano material, mesoporous silica has the advantages of non-toxic, stable, adjustable pore volume and pore diameter, and easy functional modification on the surface. By virtue of its perceptive response to the tumor microenvironment or physiological changes, it can achieve the targeted drug release or controlled drug release of the drug delivery system in the tissue, making it an ideal carrier for intelligent response drug delivery system. In this paper, we review the design strategies and current research status of smart responsive anti-tumor drug delivery systems based on mesoporous silica, in order to provide a reference for the development of anti-tumor drug nanoformulations.

Objective To investigate the effect of geraniin on expression of Wnt3a protein and mRNA in bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) from osteoporotic rats. Methods The model of osteoporosis (OP) was duplicated by ovariectomy in rats. BMSCs were isolated and cultured. BMSCs from shamed rats were routinly cultured and taken as normal control, and BMSCs from OP rats were divided into model group, 1μmol/L simvastatin positive group, and geraniin group (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μmol/L), respectively. The methods of realtime-PCR and western blot were used to assay the protein and mRNA expression of wnt3a, respectively.Results As compared with normal control group, the protein and mRNA expression of wnt3a in model group were significantly suppressed;Compared with model group, 1 μmol/L simvastatin, and 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μmol/L geraniin significantly increased the expression of wnt3a protein and mRNA. Conclusion It is suggested that geraniin activates wnt/β-catenin pathway though increasing the expression of signaling protein wnt 3a in BMSCs from OP rats. It would be beneficial to osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and osteogenesis.

BACKGROUND:MicroRNAs (miRNA) through regulating specific target gene mRNA expression play important roles in different processes of diseases. OBJECTIVE:To study the interaction of miRNA-21 with its target gene TLR4 in Hela cels. METHODS:The candidate target gene of miRNA-21 was determined according to miRNA analysis databases. The constructed recombinant adenovirus vector carrying pri-miRNA-21 gene was used, which could package and amplify viruses to transfect Hela cels. Then, the expression of fluorescent proteins was detected. Forty-eight hours after transfection of miRNA-21 or control, extracted proteins were used for detection of TLR4 protein using western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Recombinant adenoviruses pAd/pri-miRNA-21 and pAd/neg at 100 MOI could successfuly infect Hela cels. Bioinformatic analysis suggested several possible binding sites between miRNA-21 and TLR4. The experimental results showed that miRNA-21 down-regulated TLR4 at protein levels, indicating that miRNA-21 can interfere with the expression of TLR4 target gene.
