Cells of BT_(325), a human glioblastoma cell line, were treated with 0.5% Triton X-100 and immunostained with a monoclonal antibody to vimentin and antiserum to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and followed by fluorescence labeled secondary antibody. After observation with fluorescence microscope the cells were dehydrated in increasing grades of ethanol and then critical point-dried. The carbon-platinum coating replicas of cytoskeleton were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The morphology of whole cytoskeleton as well as the arrangement of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments were clearly observed by this technique. It was observed that the diameter of intermediate filaments highly increased in the cells stained with the monoclonal antibody to vimentin. In the samples stained with anti-GFAP intermediate filaments were decorated in some cells but undecorated in other cells. The results indicates that all BT_(325) cells express vimentin, but only a fraction of the cells express GFAP. It was also observed that if the cells were fixed with formaldehyde before immunostaing with the monoclonal antibody to vimentin, the diameter of the intermediate filaments only slightly increased. However, the diameter of the intermediate filaments highly increaed in the cells stained firstly with the monoclonal antibody to vimentin and followed by formaldehyde fixation. This result is in accord with that of our previous immunofluorescence study. It indicates that formaldehyde fixation may "mask" certain epitopes on vimentin molecules.

ve To compare the effects of coronary-artery-bypass (CAB) surgery with and without cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) on hemodynamics and the function of the grafts. Methods Thirty-five patients undergoing elective CAB surgery were studied. CAB was performed either with hypothermic CPB (n = 15) or without CPB(off-pump, n = 20) . The patients were premedicated with intramuscular pethidine 50 mg and scopolamine O.3mg. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous midazolam 5-15mg, fentanyl 5-20?g?kg and pancuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1 or pipecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1 and maintained with iv infusion of fentanyl 6-10?g?kg-1, propofol 2-4mg?kg-1?h-1 and intermittent boluses of pancuronium, midazolam supplemented with 1%-1.5% isoflurane inhalation. In off-pump group naso-pharyngeal T?was maintained at 37.2℃ during operation. The amount of heparin used was equal to about one-third of amount used during CPB and ACT was maintained above 250 seconds. MAP was maintained at 70-90 mm Hg. While blood vessel was being grafted onto the coronary arteries heart rate was maintained at 60-80 bpm, otherwise esmolol 10-20mg was given iv every 5 min until it was satisfactorily controlled. In CPB group, during CPB naso-pharyngeal T?was maintained at 32℃-34℃, MAP at 50-70 mm Hg and blood gases and electrolytes within normal range. Right radial artery was cannulated and 7.5F Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted via internal jugular vein into pulmonary artery for hemodynamic monitoring and blood gas analysis. ECG, SpO2 were continuously monitored during operation. At the end of operation in patients with internal mammary artery used as graft, the flow rate of grafts was measured with 3mm Doppler probe.Results (1) After CAB cardiac index (CT) increased significantly in off-pump group(P0.05) . (3) There was no significant difference in the blood flow of artery graft and myocardial oxygen delivery (MDO2), and consumption ( MVO2) as well as MDO2/MVO2 between the two groups. Conclusions Off-pump CAB surgery has less effects on hemodynamics but systemic and myocardial oxygen delivery and consumption are similar between the two groups.

Objective To explore the effects of celecoxib combined with arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the mRNA expression,protein expression and protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity of bcr-abl fusion gene and its downstream signal transduction in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) primary cells.Methods The cells were incubated with celecoxib (40 μmol/L) or As2O3 (2 μmol/L) alone and celecoxib (40 μmol/L) combined with As2O3 (2 μmol/L) for 36 hours.The changes of mRNA expression,p210 expression and PTK activity of bcr-abl fusion gene in each group were examined respectively by real time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RQ-RT-PCR),Western blot and PTK activity analysis.The important proteins STAT1,STAT5 and their phosphorylatic proteins p-STAT1 and p-STAT5 and inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1)a common downstream target of oncogenic tyrosine kinase were also analyzed by Western blot.Results The mRNA expressions in control group,celecoxib group,As203 group and celecoxib combined with As2O3 group were (5.97±0.53) ％,(5.74±0.46) ％,(5.94±0.57) ％ and (3.06±0.41) ％ respectively,and the statistical difference was found only between celecoxib combined with As2O3 group and control group (t =28.35,P =0.00).The similar statistic difference was only observed between the two groups from PTK activity tests (t =4.38,P =0.04).Western blot also showed that p210,STAT1,STAT5,p-STAT1,p-STAT5 and ID1 were more extraordinaryly downregulated by celecoxib combined with As2O3 than others treatments.Conclusion Celecoxib combined with As2O3 can downregulate mRNA,p210 expression,PTK activity of bcr-abl fusion gene and inhibit STAT and ID1 signal transduction pathways in a synergistic way.

Objective To explore the effects of celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) specific inhibitor, on the mRNA expression protein expression and protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity of bcr-abl fusion gene in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) primary cells. Methods The primary cells were incubated with various concentration of celecoxib (0, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 μmol/L) for 36 hours, then the changes of mRNA expression, p210 expression and PTK activity of bcr-abl fusion gene in each group were examined respectively by real time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RQ-RT-PCR), Western blotting and PTK activity analysis. Results The mRNA expression was downregulated with high concentration of celecoxib (80-160 μmol/L), and p210 expression was decreased gradually after increasing celecoxib. The PTK activity was inhibited in a concentration-independent way, and the statistic difference was observed only above 40μmol/L concentration of celecoxib. Conclusion Celecoxib can downregulate mRNA,and the protein expression of bcr-abl fusion gene; and inhibit the PTK activity by defferent extent.

Objective To explore the diagnosis, treatment and pathogenesis of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods 260 patients with SCI accepted rectal diseases survey, anal examination and anus straight endoscopic. Those who had rectal ulcer also performed biopsy, and patients who had been diagnosed as SRUS were evaluated by the index of International bowel function basic SCI data set, then further accepted non-operative or surgical treatment, and regular reexamination with anal straight colonoscopy for clinical evaluation after discharge. Results and Conclusion Bowel dysfunction, constipation, and anal rectum prolapsed, improper uses of glycerine enema were important causes of SRUS after SCI. Non-operative therapy as well as strengthening defecate management could be an effective treatment for SRUS after SCI.
