Background c-Myc,EZH2 and p27 were defined to modulate the behavior of prostate cancer with pro-tumoral or anti-tumoral effects and had ability in predicting prostate cancer progression,but the research of their co-expression value of prognosis is rarely.This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of combining tri-marker together in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer after surgery.Methods Expression levels of c-Myc,EZH2 and p27 in 129 patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer were assessed using immunohistochemistry in a semi-quantitative manner.The expression profiles of these three markers were analyzed and investigated for association with biochemical recurrence.Results In all,fifty of 129 cases experienced biochemical recurrence during a median follow-up time of 31 months (range,6-60 months).Of these relapse patients,one case without and 10 cases with any single positive marker were observed; 39 cases were detected with any two or all three positive markers (22 cases with any two and 17 cases with all three positive markers).Survival analysis showed that patients with over-expression of c-Myc or EZH2,and lower expression of p27 manifested significantly higher biochemical recurrence rates.Subsequent multivariate analysis revealed that c-Myc,EZH2 and p27 expression statuses showed potential in predicting relapse,respectively.Notably,combining three markers together as a "composite index" (0 or 1,vs.2 or 3 positive markers) provided powerful prognostic value (HR 6.57,95% CI 3.02-14.31,P <0.001).There was a significant difference between the patient subgroups with 0 or 1 and those with 2 or 3 positive markers expression statuses,and tri-marker composite index was an independent risk factor for predicting relapse in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer after surgery.Conclusion Composite index of c-Myc,EZH2,and p27 can be valued as powerful prognosis parameter for intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients after the surgery,and postoperative adjuvant therapy can be adopted accordingly.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical application of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for the management of lumbar disorders and discuss its indications, surgical techniques and clinical effectiveness.
METHODSFrom Jan 2005 to Dec 2006, 31 selected patients (22 males and 9 females, aged from 41 to 63 years) with degenerative lumbar diseases were treated with minimally invasive TLIF assisted by METRx X-Tube micro-endoscopy system. The index diagnosis was lumbar disc herniation with Lumbar spinal stenosis in 7, lumbar disc herniation with segmental instability in 16, grade 1 to 2 of lumbar spondylolisthesis in 8. The surgical methods was performed with bilateral or unilateral pedicle screws insertion and a single rectangle cage posterolateral placement. The operating time, blood loss, blood transfusion, drainage, visual analogue scale (VAS), preoperative and postoperative JOA scores were observed as well as radiographic evaluation. The results were compared with standard TLIF group respectively.
RESULTSA total of 116 pedicle screws and 31 cages were implanted of which 4 patients were treated with unilateral pedicle screws fixation. Four pedicle screws were found misplaced in CT scans after surgery. The average operating time was 199 min, blood loss 359 ml, volume of transfusion 32 ml drainage 81 ml, and VAS was 2.37 about 72 hours after surgery, which had statistic difference compared with control group. There was no statistic difference on postoperative improvement rate and JOA scores in two groups.
CONCLUSIONSMinimally invasive TLIF minimizes paraspinal muscle trauma and blood loss, shortens the operating and recovery time. A good long-term outcome can be gained compared with standard procedures.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether human placenta CD133(+) cells have an ability to reconstitute long-term hematopoiesis. Magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) was applied to enrich human placental CD133(+) cells. The isolated human placental CD133(+)cells of four different densities were established by limiting-dilution assay and primary fetal bone marrow stromal cells separated from bone marrow as feeder layer cells were co-cultured in long-term culture system so as to observe the incidence of long-term culture initiating-cells (LTC-IC) and their ability of proliferation and differentiation.The results showed that human placenta derived CD133(+) cells contained LTC-IC with frequency of 1/645 which have an ability to proliferate and differentiate into granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM) and mixed colony-forming units (CFU-Mix). In all LTC-IC positive wells, 71.43% form only CFU-GM and 28.57% display both CFU-GM and CFU-Mix formation. It is concluded that human placental CD133(+) cells possess LTC-IC with colony-forming capacity of hematopoietic early progenitor cells.

OBJECTIVETo study whether human placenta contains hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), and analyze phenotypes of lymphocyte subpopulations in the placenta.
METHODSNucleated cells from fresh human placenta were analyzed for phenotypes of HSPCs and lymphocyte subpopulations by flow cytometry (FCM). And CD(34)(+) cells were sorted from human placenta nucleated cells by FCM or MiniMACS.
RESULTS(1) CD(34)(+) cells, CD(34)(+)/CD(38)(+) cells, and CD(34)(+)/CD(38)(-) cells from a human placenta were 8.8, 4.6 and 11.9 times higher than those from umbilical cord blood (UCB), respectively. (2) The yields and purity of CD(34)(+) cells isolated from human placenta by FCM sorting system were (63.05 +/- 10.14)% and (86.39 +/- 11.27)%, respectively. (3) Lymphocytes, T cells (CD(3)(+)/CD(2)(+)), B cells (CD(19)(+)), Th cells (CD(3)(+), CD(4)(+)), and Th/Ts ratio in the placenta tissue were apparently lower than those in the UCB, while the CD(8)(+)/CD(28)(-) T suppressor cells were higher in the placenta than in the UCB.
CONCLUSIONSHuman placenta is rich in HSPCs, and has important hematopoietic function in ontogeny. It is probable that human placenta would be graft resource for HSPCs transplantation. CD(8)(+)/CD(28)(-) T suppressor cells might play an important role in feto-maternal immunologic tolerance.
