BACKGROUND:Breast cancer stem cel s have a greater impact on the occurrence and metastasis of breast cancer. Under simulated tumor microenvironment, we can better analyze the proliferation and differentiation of breast cancer stem cel s. OBJECTIVE:To explore the tumor microenvironment effect on the differentiation of breast cancer stem cel s. METHODS:Breast cancer cel s and MCF-7 cel s were primarily cultured in fibroblast supernatant and serum-free PCM-2 medium, and formation of breast cancer cel s microspheres was observed. Proliferative ability of breast cancer cel s was detected using MTT colorimetry, and the surface markers of breast cancer stem cel s and epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers were measured using immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The diameter of primary cel microspheres was larger in the serum-free PCM-2 medium than in the fibroblast supernatant, but the culture speed was faster in the fibroblast supernatant than the serum-free PCM-2 medium. At 3 days of primary culture, the expression of ALDH1 in primary cel s was greatly higher in the serum-free PCM-2 medium than in the fibroblast supernatant. However, the expressions of E-cadherin and vimentin were up-regulated in the fibroblast supernatant than in the serum-free PCM-2 medium. In addition, the expressions of E-cadherin and vimentin in MCF-7 cel s cultured in the fibroblast supernatant were up-regulated, while the expressions of ALDH1 and Oct-4 were downregulated. These findings indicate that the tumor environment has some certain effects on the growth and differentiation of breast cancer stem cel s, and some cytokines secreted from fibroblast supernatant can promote the proliferation and differentiation of breast cancer stem cel microspheres to some extent.

It's established a high-performance liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry(HPLC-TOF-MS) method to analyze chemical constituents in Salvia chinensis. The separation was performed on a SHISEIDO MG C18 reverse phase column (3.0 mm x 100 mm, 3 microm). The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (A) and water (containing 0.1% formic acid, B) was used as gradient elute. The gradient of a phase, 10%-90% (0-33 min), 90% (33-40 min). The flow rate was 0.6 mL x min(-1). Post-column split ratio was 2:1. Temperature of column was 25 degrees C. Time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) and electrospray ion source (ESI) was applied for qualitative analysis under positive ion mode, and mass scan range was m/z 100-1 000. As a result,28 of the major chemical constituents of S. chinensis were identified by HPLC-TOF-MS. In this study, a rapid and efficient method for studying the chemical constituents in S. chinensis by HPLC-TOF-MS was established, which paves a way for the quality control and further studies of the herb in vivo.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in the treatment of sacrococcygeal decubitus ulcers grade Ⅲ with direct polymerizing suture after appling rhEGF to reinforce wound bed preparation (WBP). Methods From January 2007 to October 2009, 60 patients with sacrococcygeal decubitus ulcers Grade Ⅲ, were divided into control group and treatment group. The ulcer size was 3 cm × 4 cm to 10 cm × 12 cm and all ulcers were infected for 15-70 d. Treatment group received traditional dressing change and appling rhEGF to reinforce wound bed preparation. Control group received traditional dressing change only. The operative technique that we used in two groups was direct polymerizing suture. Cure rate of stage Ⅰ and complication morbidities were analyzed. Results Cure rate of stage Ⅰ was 87% in treatment group and 70% in control group. Complication morbidities were 13% in treatment group and 30% in control group. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Appling rhEGF to reinforce wound bed preparation before operation could make subsequent treatment more effective and improve the cure ratio of operation with decreasing complications and morbidities. And more, dissecting under fascia possesses the advantages of easiness to perform and rich blood supply.The method of appling rhEGF with direct polymerizing suture is a simple, high efficient approach for the first repairment of sacrococcygeal decubitus ulcers grade Ⅲ, especially desirable for the elderly.

Standardized training program for residents in Shanghai is one of the important measures in the health care reform.In accordance with Implementary methods of standardized training for residents in shanghai (for trial implementation),the department of stomatology in the affiliated Changzheng Hospital quickly initialized the standardized training program by defining the training objectives,establishing the training mechanisms,formulating the training contents and building the system of the assessment.Special attention was paid to improve the professional skill of the residents including ① clinical diagnostic ability; ② medical theoretical level and the medical thinking ability; ③ interpersonal communicational skill; ④ professionalism; ⑤ scientific research ability.Useful exploration was made to test the feasibility of the training program based on the practices and the effect was encouraging.

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical and pathological features of pilomatricoma. METHOD: The authors retrospectively investigated the clinical and pathological materials of 399 patients with pilomatricoma. RESULT: Single lesion occurred in most patients (99%) and 56.39% of them were younger than 30 years. The male-female ratio was 1:1.33. The lesions which sizes average 1.22 cm were commonly emerged in the head, neck, and upper extremity. CONCLUSION Pilomatricoma is a slowly developed benign cutaneous tumour, but it can aggravate sometimes. It's manifestation is diversed and easily misdiagnosed. Early complete excision is recommended for hard or tenacious nodules on head, neck and upper extremity.

Objective To evaluated the improving effect of training method of point-line-plane on development quotient in premature infants with brain injury.Methods 174 cases of premature children with brain injury were randomly divided into study group (89 cases) and control group (85 cases).Control group given Bobath and Vojta traditional rehabilitation training,and the study group was given training method of point-line-plane.Patients in both groups were evaluated synthetically based on The Evaluation Chart on Neu-robehavioral Development of Children Aged 0-6 Years,developed by Capital Institute of Pediatrics,prior to the treatment,and after the first,the second,and the third course of the training programs,respectively.Re-sults The score of developmental quotient ( DQ) between study group and control group was no significantly different(P>0.05).Compared with before treatment, the scores of DQ was significantly increased after the first, the second and the third course of training treatment in study group and control group((82.71±12.28) vs (81.17±9.63), t=0.859, P>0.05;(89.65±10.02) vs (87.02±7.39), t=1.747, P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the scores of DQ in study group was no significant difference after the first and the second course of treatment,but there was significantiy different after the third course treatment((95.26±8.87) vs (91.31±7.63), t=2.945, P=0.004).Conclusion The training method of point-line-plane can improve the clinical efficacy of premature infants with brain injury at the early phase, which is worth widely applying in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of different concentration of human urinary kallikrein on blood pressure when used for acute cerebral infarction. METHODS: By a non-randomized historical control study,the blood pressure variation of 34 patients on day one after treatment with low concentration (0.06%) of human urinary kallikrein was observed,the occurrence of hypotension in this group was compared with that of another 47 patients (control) treated with high concentration (0.3%) of human urinary kallikrein. RESULTS: The reduction of blood pressure in low concentration group was less obvious than in the high-concentration group. However,hypotension was noted in both groups when angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) hypotensive drugs were used concomitantly. CONCLUSION: Human urinary kallikrein for acute cerebral infarction can transiently down-regulate blood pressure slightly,but its effect on blood pressure can be lowered by suitable reduction of its concentration;at any concentration,it can result in hypotension if used in combination with ACEI.
