Objective To study the correlation of EMMPRIN and VEGF-C expression with invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma. Method The expression of EMMPRIN and VEGF-C was detected by immunohistochemical technique in 21 cases hyperplasia of mammary glands, 10 cases of in-tubule carcinoma and 68 cases invasive carcinoma. Results The positive rate of EMMPRIN expression in hyperplasia of mammary glands, in-tubule carcinoma and invasive carcinoma were 4. 76% (1/21), 40. 00% (4/10)73.53% (50/68), respectively;Significant difference was found among three groups ( P < 0.01 ). The positive rate of VEGF-C expression in hyperplasia, in-tubule carcinoma and invasive carcinoma were14. 29% (3/21) ,60. 00 (6/10) ,77.94% (53/68), respectively. The positive rates of VEGF-C expression in situ and invasive ductal carcinoma were remarkably higher than that of hyperplasia of mammary glands ( P <0. 01 ). The expression of EMMPRIN significantly correlated with the expression of VEGF-C in breast tubule carcinoma ( rs =0. 390, P <0. 01 ), Lymph nod metastasis and the number axillary Lymph nod metastasis were related to EMMPRIN and VEGF-C ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The over-expression of EMMPRIN and VEGF-C were important elements to promote the invasiveness and metastasis of breast carcinoma. Synergistic effect between EMMPRIN and VEGF-C may take place in lymph node metastasis of breast carcinoma.

Objective To study the independent predictors of 3-day mortality of patients with systemic in-flammatory response syndrome(SIRS) in emergency department. Method From Dec 2006 to Sep 2007, 640 pa-tients with SIRS admitted to emergency department were enrolled. Those died within one hour were excluded. Ev-ery patient was examined on plasma B-type natriuretie peptide (BNP) level and serum cardiac Troponin Ⅰ (cTNI) level. Early warning score (EWS) was calculated. Rank test was used to compare the difference of BNP,cTNI and EWS between survivors and non-survivors. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent pre-dictors for death and receiver operator characteristic curve was used to determine the cutoff values. Results The mean levels of age, BNP, cTNI and EWS of patients died in 3 days were 73.5(65～80),468.5 pg/mL(161.5～1862.5 pg/mL),0.37 ng/mL(0.07～2.61 ng/mL) and 6(5～9), respectively. In survivors, the mean levels of age, BNP, cTNI and EWS were 71(60～77), 239 pg/mL(56.3～783.8 pg/mL), 0.07 ng/mL(0.03～0.26 ng/mL)and 4(3～6), respectively. There were significant difference in age, BNP, cTNI and EWS between two groups (P < 0.05). Age ≥ 76, BNP ≥ 115 pg/mL, cTNI ≥ 0.135 ng/mL and EWS ≥ 6 were independent predic-tors of death. Conclusions Levels of BNP,cTNI and EWS were predictors of death in SIRS patients during emer-gency department stay.

Doctor TAN Qing-gang is one of the most famous and experienced TCM doctors in the field of TCM in Enshi, Hubei Province. He is expert in the diagnosis and treatment on miscellaneous diseases of TCM. This article summarized the experience of Doctor TAN in treatment for postoperative breast cancer.

ObjectiveTo provide experimental proof for the specific immunotherapy in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).MethodsThe expression of c-erbB-2 and HLA-A2 molecules in RCC were examined by flow cytometery and HLA-A2 cDNA RT-PCR.Tumor lysatic antigens (Tuly) was used to load DCs (DC-Tuly) to induce the generation of c-erbB-2 specific CTLs derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of RCC patients in vitro and CTLs was used to kill RCC cells which express or not express c-erbB-2 and HLA-A2.The cytotoxic activity of induced CTLs was further studied by antibodies (anti-c-erbB-2 and anti-CD 8) blocking assay.Resultsc-erbB-2 protein is tumor associated antigens for RCC.DC-Tuly induced specific CTLs highly killed c-erbB-2+ HLA-A2+ autologous and allogenic RCC,but non-specific ones lowly killed c-erbB-2- HLA-A2+ or c-erbB-2+ HLA-A2-RCC cells. The cytotoxic activity against tumor cells was blocked by anti-c-erbB-2 and anti-CD 8 monoclonal antibodies.ConclusionsThese results suggest that this specific CTLs adoptive immunotherapy for RCC patients with c-erbB-2+ HLA-A2+ could be a novel approach for clinical use.

Objective To establish human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines,and to investigate the cell phenotypes and expression of tumor associated antigens. Methods Fresh tumor tissues from pathologically proven human RCCs were primary cultured and passed generation to generation until a stably grow in vitro.The cell cloning form,chromosome and graft into nude mice in vivo were examined for cell lines.Immunofluorescent stain and flow cytometric analysis were carried out for cell's phenotype,RT PCR examination for MN/CA9 gene expression. Results Six human RCC cell lines have been established,including four of the cell lines derived from clear cells,one from mixed clear granular cells and one from papillary cells.All the cell lines showed the characteristics of malignant cells.All the lines highly expressed HLA ClassⅠ and HER2/neu.Three lines weakly expressed HLA ClassⅡ and one cell line highly expressed CD86 but all the lines did not express CD80.RT PCR showed that three cell lines have the expression of MN/CA9 gene. Conclusions These newly established RCC cell lines would provide a useful in vitro model for studies related to biological characteristics,tumor associated antigen,immunogenity and immunotherapy of human RCC.

AIM: Three different antisense oligonucleotides complementary to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA were compared in inhibitory effect on gene targeted expression. METHODS: After transfecting bFGF antisense oligonucleotides (asODN) into SWO-38 cells by lipofectin,the proliferation of cells was identified by MTT method, apoptosis was examined by flow cytometric cell cycle analysis and the expression levers of bFGF were detected by Western-blotting. RESULTS: There were 49%,33%,51% inhibition of cell growth and 35%, 27%, 18% cell apoptosis after asODN1, asODN2 and asODN3 treatment.In addition,the decrease in bFGF protein was 63%, 42%, 11%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The data suggeste that asODN1 is a potent target to bFGF mRNA, which inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in SWO-38 cells.
