Objective To study the effect of Src tyrosine kinase inhibition on subcutaneously transplanted tumor of human lung adenocarcinoma in mice and its mechanism. Methods For the subcutaneously transplanted tumor model, A549 cells or PC-9 cells were inoculated into SCID mice by subcutaneous injection. Immunohistochemistry was used to show the effect of Src tyrosine kinase inhibition on proliferation index (Ki-67 staining) and microvessel density (CD31 staining) of subcutaneously transplanted tumor of human lung adenocarcinoma in mice. Results Subcutaneously transplanted tumor of PC-9 cells was sensitive to src tyrosine kinase inhibitor. There was significant difference between treatment group and control group (P <0.01). There was significant difference between the two treatment group too (P <0.01). Stopping treatment for 1 week, the inhibition rate of tumor growth were 33.19 % and 84.79 % in 10 mg·kg-1·d-1 and 50 mg·kg-1·d-1 treatment group, respectively. The same treatment was less effective to subcutaneous tumors produced by A549 cells. Treatment with 50 mg·kg-1·d-1 Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor significantly reduced the proliferation index of subcutaneously transplanted tumor produced by PC-9 cells (P<0.01) and tended to reduce the proliferation index of subcutaneously transplanted tumor produced by A549 cells (P >0.05). Treatment with 50 mg·kg-1·d-1 Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor significantly reduced micro vascular density in both PC-9 and A549 induced subcutaneous tumors (P <0.05). Conclusion Inhibition of Src tyrosine kinase could suppress the progression of subcutaneously transplanted tumor, not only by the inhibition of cell proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells directly, but also by the inhibition of angiogenesis indirectly.

Objective To investigate the effects of targeted forkhead box E1( FOXE1) gene on epitheli-al-mesenchymal transition(EMT) of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cell line TPC-1, and to study its role in in-vasion and migration of TPC-1 cells.Methods The lentiviral expression vector for RNA interference of FOXE 1 gene was constructed to silence the expression of FOXE 1.Real-time polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of such EMT markers as E-cadherin , N-cadherin and Vimentin . Transwell assay and Scratch assay were used to analyze TPC-1 cells migration and invasion .Results After RNA interference of FOXE1, the morphology of TPC-1 cells indicated a transformation of EMT .The expression of epi-thelial phenotype marker E-cadherin decreased remarkably while mesenchymal marker Vimentin was significantly up-regulated(P<0.01).Compared with the control group , the expression of Vimentin mRNA in the experimen-tal group was 2.24 times higher .The migration and invasion ability of TPC-1 cells increased significantly , and the number of cells in transwell was 2.11 times of the control's.Conclusion The silence of FOXE1 gene probably increases the invasion potential of human PTC cells through EMT .

The aim of this study was to look for the chemical constituents of the bulbs of Fritillaria anhuiensis S. C. Chen et S. E. Yin. The bulbs of Fritillaria anhuiensis were extracted with 95% EtOH at reflux. Isolation and purification were performed by silica gel column chromatography. Structures of pure compounds were established on the basis of spectral analysis. Three compounds were obtained and identified as 12,15-epoxy-8(17), 13-labdadien-19-ol (1), ent-3beta-acetoxy-kauran-16beta, 17-diol (2), ent-kaurane-3beta, 16beta, 17-triol (3). Compound 1 is a new labdane-type diterpenoid. Compounds 2 and 3 were obtained from Fritillaria anhuiensis for the first time.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM)of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroid cancer surgery.Methods 200 patients undergoing thyroid cancer surgery from Oct.2011 to May 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.The 200 patients were divided into 2 groups:100 patients in group A with IONM and 100 patients in group B without IONM.Results Group A had less RLN exposure time than group B(10.5 vs 15.3 mins,P <0.01).Group A had shorter operation time than group B (78.5 vs 82.3 mins).The difference had no statistical significance (P > 0.05).Transient RLN palsy occurred to 5 cases in group A and 11 cases in group B(P<0.05).Permanent RLN palsy occurred to 1 case in group A.No one in groupB had permanent RLN palsy (P > 0.05).Conclusions IONM can reduce the incidence of transient RLN palsy compared with visualization alone.It is an effective procedure for identifying and protecting RLN in thyroid cancer surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of placental thrombosis complicated with fetal growth restriction(FGR),and to analyze its diagnosis and treatment methods. Methods:Combined with reviewing the relevant literatures, the clinical data of a case of placental thrombosis complicated with FGR was retrospectively analyzed. The patient with 32 1/7 weeks of gestation was hospitalized due to placental blood sinus found one month ago;at the same time FGR was found by ultrasound examination. The patient was intravenously given nutritional support treatment such as amino acid and glucose.At the same time, the patient was continuously given low-flow oxygen. Results:The patient received cesarean section at 35 2/7 weeks of gestation and a baby girl with 1 280 g weight and 32 cm length was gained;many blood sinus in the maternal surface of placenta were seen with the largest diameter of 3-4cm;the placenta was hypertrophic, weighted 540 g .After operation,the newborn was transferred to Department of Neonatology and followed up for 1 month.1 month later, the infant could eat by herself, other physical examinations were finished without any obvious abnormal findings and the newbron discharged from hospital after recovery. Conclusion:Placental thrombosis complicated with FGR is very common in clinic and this disease severely endangers the neonatal health. Early diagnosis and reasonable treatment can improve the pregnancy outcomes.

Super hydrophobic interface modified with silver nanoparticles was fabricated for the detection of pesticide residues.By using a chemical reduction method,silver nanoparticles were deposited on the substrate surfaces with different microscopic pore structures.Two kinds of composite substrates,including regular stainless steel mesh and cellulose polyester film,were used.The pre-treatment of the substrate with fluoridated reagents was used to form a super hydrophobic interface,which made the target molecules on the surface concentrate effectively.The surface with the cellulose polyester substrate was used to detect Rhodamine 6G (R 6G) effectively with surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique.The results showed that the detection hmit was 10-16 mol/L.In addition,the surfaces based on the stainless steel mesh and cellulose polyester substrate were used to detect trichlorfon pesticide with detection limits of 1 × 10-15 mol/L and 1 × 10-16 mol/L,respectively.
