Objective To reconstruct the three-dimensional(3D) image and to study on the virtual anatomy of the thigh part based on computed tomography(CT) data source. Methods Ten patients' contrast-enhanced light-speed CT images of the thigh part were chosen, “3D medical studio” was applied to read CT data, then to reconstruct and anatomize the thigh part. Results The reconstructed 3D images of the thigh part were realistically pseudocolored displayed, it was composed of four kinds of tissues(skin, muscle, skeleton and artery) and could be freely rotated and incised and restored for many times at any shape and depth on real time. Its' layers were distinct among tissues. Conclusion This research realizd partial function of virtual anatomy, it may play a definite role on regional anatomy and sectional image anatomy teaching and clinical radiology diagnosis.

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of arsenic trioxide on human glioma cell line U251 growth, change of gene expression and intracellular calcium content. METHODS: MTT method was used to observe the growth inhibition effect. Cell cycle, positive rate of proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), apoptosis associated protein Fas and Bcl-2, and intracellular calcium ion (IECa~ 2+ ) levels were measured by flow cytometry in U251 cells treated with different doses of As_2O_3. Apoptosis was detected with annexin V-FITC+PI dual parameter. RESULTS: As_2O_3 inhibited the growth of U251 cells dramatically. There were obvious dosage-effect and time-effect correlations (P0.05). The cell cycle was arrested in G_2M phase. Apoptosis occurred in U251 cells treated with As_2O_3 by annexin V-FITC+PI dual parameter detection. CONCLUSION: As_2O_3 inhibits the growth of U251 cells in vitro dramatically and induces apoptosis. The mechanism is probably associated with the improvement of Fas expression and IECa~ 2+ levels, decrease in PCNA protein expression and cell cycle arrest.

Objective To reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) image of heart and coronary artery on internet and explore the reliability.

Conclusion Heart and coronary artery can be reconstructed on internet,which offers a new approach for reconstructing organs and tissues of human being.;

Objective To investigate effects of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the cell cycle and apoptosis of K652 cells. Methods Vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression was identified by western blot analysis. Cell growth, apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated by MTT assay, acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) and flow cytometry. Results VDR was present in K562 cell nucleus. 10-8mol/L 1, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 could markedly inhibit K562 cells growth and induced cell apoptosis. Most of cells were arrested in G2/M phase, the ratio of apoptosis increased from 4.1% in control group to 26.5 % in treatment group (P<0.01). Conclusion 1,25-Dihydrexyvitamin D3 exhibited obvious inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and cell cycle, and induced apoptosis in K562 cells.

To investigate the clinicopathological features of endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma(EEA)with adnexal involvement.Methods The clinicopathological data of 86 EEA patients who underwent surgical treatment at our center from January 2000 to December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.The clinicopathological features were compared between patients with occult adnexal involvement and those with gross adnexal involvement.Results A total of 86 EEA patients with adnexal involvement(mean age:58.1 years)were included in this study,accounting for 5.4%(86/1592)of the EEA patients during the same period.Among these 86 patients,there were 13 premenopausal patients(15.1%)including 2 premenopausal patients aged under 40 years.Gross adnexal involvement was found in 47 patients(54.7%),while occult adnexal involvement was found in 39 patients(45.3%)in pathology evaluation.Ovarian metastasis was found in 34 patients(39.5%),followed by both ovarian and tubal metastasis in 19 patients(22.1%)and tubal metastasis in 33 patients(38.4%).The expressionss of estrogen receptor(χ=8.086,P=0.042)and progesterone receptor(PR)(χ=9.149,P=0.026)were significantly different between gross adnexal involvement group and occult adnexal involvement group,whereas no significant difference was found in other clinicopathological features(all P>0.05).The non-conditional Logistic regression analysis showed that,compared with PR no-expression group,the rate of occult microscopic adnexal involvement in PR low-expression group was 6.375 times of that of the gross adnexal involvement(P=0.005,95%CI:1.768-22.976),and the rate of occult microscopic adnexal involvement in the PR high-expression group was 3.719 times of that of gross adnexal involvement(P=0.048,95%CI:1.009-13.702). Conclusion PR expression level is remarkably lower in EEA patients with gross adnexal involvement than those with occult adenxal involvement.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of OPN in human breast cancer cell line ( MDA-MB-231) by using small interfering RNA to specifically knockdown OPN expression. MethodsOPN ShRNA expression vector was stably transfected to MDA-MB-231 cell line.The expression of OPN mRNA and protein were analyzed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)and Western blot,respectively.The growth of MDA-MB-231 cells were observed by MTT.The effect of OPN siRNA on the transplanted tumor growth and tumor hypoxia were assessed in nude mice. ResultsThe expression level of OPN in MDA-MB-231 cells were significantly lower under hypoxia or normoxia(P ＜ 0.05 ).OPN silence with RNAi significantly inhibited the invasion ability and proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cell lines (P ＜ 0.01 ).Inhibition of OPN with RNAi significantly inhibited the growth ability of MDA-MB-231 cells in vivo(P ＜0.05).The tumor hypoxia significantly decreased(P ＜ 0.05). ConclusionsOPN silence with RNAi can effectively inhibit cell proliferation and tumor growth of MDA-MB-231 cells,and decrease the bypoxia level of MDA-MB-231 transplanted tumor in nude mice.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of interspineter resection in treating ultra-lower rectal tumor. Methods Twenty-six ultra-lower rectal tumor cases (24 cases of rectal cancer, 2 cases of giant villous adenoma) without extrasphincter involvement underwent total mesoreetal excision and interspineter resection. Partial, subtotal or total innerspineter resection was performed respectively for patients in which the tumor lower margin was over 2 cm, between 1 -2 cm, and less than 1.0 cm above thedentate line respectively. Alimentary tract continuity was constructed by end to end anastomsis of the colon and anus. Results The lower margin of tumor in 26 patients was within 0 - 3 cm above the dentate line.The pathology was highly differentiated in 6 cases and medium differentiated in 16 cases, papillary carcinoma in 2 cases, giant villous adenoma in 2 cases. There were 11 cases of stage Ⅰ , 8 of stage Ⅱ A, 4 of stage Ⅲ A, and 1 of stage Ⅲ B according to pTNM system; 8 cases of T1, 15 of T2, and 1 of T3 according to T stage criteria. There was no mortality nor major complications. Two cases suffered from anastomotic stricture. The stool seepage was common at early stage after surgery, with immediately postoperative daily defecation of 3 -10, and one year later, most patients were able to hold back the defecation impulse for more than 5 min, and have daily defecation of 0. 5 to 4 times. Occasional seepage was reported in one patient with total innersphincter resection. The average postoperative follow up was 28 months. One recurrence was found on the 5th month, one suffered from liver metastasis in the 10 month, and one died of cardiac arrest in 26 month. Conclusion To those patients with very lower rectal cancer restricted within rectal wall,interspincter resection fulfils curative purpose while preserving the anal function.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies of our research group have confirmed that the texture of porcine reticular dermis at lateral ventral part is softer and has more extensibility than other parts. Therefore, it may serve as the raw material of xenogenic aceluar dermal matrix. However, its comparison with human and rat reticular dermis has not been reported systematicaly in aspects of histomorphology and material characterization. OBJECTIVE:To compare the reticular dermis from the lateral region of porcine abdomen and rat dorsal part with the reticular dermis from human in histology, biomechanics, molecular structure, thermal stability and other properties. METHODS:The reticular dermis samples were taken from adult human, the lateral region of porcine abdomen, the back of rats, for gross observation. Paraffin sections were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and sirius red staining under a light microscopy. The relevant data of micrograph were measured by imagine analysis software. These samples were also vacuum-freezing dried and rehydrated, and then their mechanical properties were tested with a electronic tensile machine to calculate the Young’s modulus. Some vacuum-freezing dried samples were powdered and detected by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and simultaneous thermal analyzer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no differences in colagen fiber bundle diameter of the reticular dermis from adult human and the lateral region of porcine abdomen, but the reticular dermis from the back of rats was thinner than that from adult human (P < 0.01). The gap between the reticular layer of the dermis of the lateral region of porcine abdomen was lower than that from adult human (P < 0.0.1); however, there was no difference in the gap between the reticular layers of the dermis of the rat back and adult human (P=0.17). Colagen fibers of porcine reticular dermis were arranged tightly in disorder; the content of type I colagen and ratio of type I/III colagen were higher than those in the reticular dermis from adult human (P < 0.05), but the content of type III colagen was less than that in the reticular dermis from adult human (P < 0.05). Contents of type I and III colagen and their ratio were similar between the reticular dermis of rats and adult human (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the Young’s modulus of the three kinds of reticular dermises. Hydrogen bonds involved in the reticular dermal colagen molecules ranged as folows: rats > swine > human. Rat reticular dermis has better thermal stability than that of swine and adult human.
