AIM: To evaluate the inhibitory effect of galactose (Gal)-polyethyleneimine (PEI)-c-myc antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) complex on proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS: Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Bel-7402 was treated with Gal-PEI-ASODN complex. Cell proliferation was tested by trypan blue dye at different time points and with various concentrations of ASODN treatment. Cell morphology was observed under inverted microscope, cell hypodiploid percentage was analyzed by flow cytometry and cell ultrastructure was observed through electron microscopy. RESULTS: Compared with ASODN group (20 ?mol/L) from (0 h) to 96 h, Gal-PEI-ASODN complex (with ASODN 0.75 ?mol/L) significantly suppressed Bel-7402 cells proliferation, the ASODN concentration within Gal-PEI-ASODN complex and time course acquired were significantly lower and shorter, respectively. Incubated with pure ASODN at different concentrations for 72 hours, cell proliferation was inhibited and IC_(50) was 20.9 ?mol/L; while mediated with galactose receptor for 48 hours, ASODN significantly inhibited cell proliferation and IC_(50) was only 0.294 ?mol/L, the inhibitory efficacy of ASODN enhanced 70.9 folds. While Bel-7402 cells were incubated with Gal-PEI-ASODN complex for 48 hours, cell hypodiploid percentage was much higher than ASODN groups and cell apoptosis was seen under electron microscopy. CONCLUSIONS: Galactose receptor mediated ASODN delivery may significantly increase proliferation inhibition efficacy on Bel-7402 cells. [

AIM: To study whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from fetal liver can differentiate into skeletal muscle-like cells. METHODS: MSCs were isolated from C57BL/6J mouse fetal liver and were induced by 5-azacytidine and amphotericin B. Myf5 and myogenin were tested by RT-PCR. Desmin and ?-actin was examined by immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: RT-PCR showed that the treated cells expressed Myf5 and myogenin orderly from 6 hours to 72 hours, while the untreated cells did not. Immunocytochemistry confirmed that these cells were positive for desmin and ?-actin and the positive rate was higher in 7 days than that in 14 days. CONCLUSION: MSCs derived from fetal liver can be induced into skeletal muscle-like cells in vitro.

Objective To study the ultrasonographic and acoustic contrast features of breast fibroadenoma and breast cancer and explore the value of contrast enhanced ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors. Method A retrospective analysis of 18 cases breast fibroadenoma and 12 cases breast cancer in the performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound was done. Results After contrast agent injection, tumor dimension increased in 4 cases with breast fibroadenoma and 7 cases with breast cancer. The ultrasonographic and acoustic contrast features of breast fibroadenoma showed no significant changes. They showed stenosis, perpendicular and circumambulates vascular shape. The breast cancers significantly increased the number of tumor blood vessels with the thicker,tortuous blood vessels into the tumor. Conclusions The contrast enhanced ultrasonography assessed more accurate size of tumors. The image displayed grown sizes, more vascularity and bending vascular shape in the breast cancer. It was more accurate than gray-scale ultrasound on diagnosing breast cancer.

Leukemia is one of the common tumors,and it seriously harms to the health.The more serious environmental pollutions become,the more people pay attention to the relationship between environmental exposures and leukemia,especially children leukemia.To discuss the progress of study on formaldehyde and leukemia,this study states the characteristics of formaldehyde,the resources of formaldehyde indoor air and the harms to health,toxicity and human cancinogenicity,and reviews the researches on the relationship between formaldehyde and leukemia.It concludes that there is "strong but not sufficient evidence for a causal association between leukemia and occupational exposure to formaldehyde".

Experimental research showed that Gan Tang Zhi can influence blood clotting and plasma fibrinolytic system of rabbits, 15min after introvenous injecting 6.25mg/kg or 25mg/kg Gan Tang Zhi into rabbit it can pronouncedly prolong prothrombin time ( PT ) , thrombin time ( TT ) , and kaolin partial thromboplastin time ( KPTT ) ; and cause remarkable increase of fibrin degradation product ( FDP ) , Gan Tang Zhi can also shorten englobulin lysis time (ELT) and decrease fibri-nogen.

Objective:To explore potential differentiation from antigen-1 positive stem cells (Sca-1 +cells) in murine fetal liver tissue into cardiomyocytes in vivo. Methods: Sca-1 + cells from the murine fetal liver of 14.5 d were separated by Magnetic cell sorting (MACS).The sequence of the sex determination region of the Y chromosome was determined by PCR.Sca-1 + cells (2?10 3) of male mice were transfused to female mice receiving 8-12 weeks irradiation at a lethal dose of ?-ray(10 Gy) from a 60Co source.Two months later,the mice were killed and the hearts were removed to make slices. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) tests with a Y chromosome probe were used to detect sex of the cells.Immunohistochemistry with antibodies of desmin,Flt-1,white blood cell common antigen CD45 and macrophage F 4/80 were used to detect tissue characteristics of cardiomyocytes. Results: Cells with Y chromosome were found in the cardiomyocytes of female mice transplanted with Sca-1 + cells,and showed phenotypic characteristics of Desmin +/Flt-1-/CD45-/F- 4/80 at the same time.Conclusion: Sca-1 + cells from the murine fetal liver are mostly hematopoietic stem cells,having the potential of differentiating into cardiomyocytes.

The definition of rehabilitation should reflect the connotation and extension of rehabilitation medicine system,moreover,special attention should be paid to the process of translation,applications and promotion due to its derivation from Latin.The fourth edition of rehabilitation medicine textbook which published by People's Medical Publishing House described the definition of rehabilitation inaccurately,although integrated the foreign authority definitions.The definition of ‘ re-learning’has been described by the textbook without considering logical sequence,which caused difficulty in explaining and comprehending between teachers and students in class.Besides,application of another term of rehabilitation medicine in the textbook is imprudence.

The influences of propylene glycol mannate sulfate (PGMS) on experimental thrombosis and thrombolysis in vivo were studies after iv 8. 125, 6. 25, 12. 5 , 25mg/Kg in rabbits, and the effect of antithrombosis of PGMS was compared with that of heparin. The results showed that PGMS possessed remarkable effect of antithrombosis. In order to explore the mechanism of antithrombosis of PGMS, we studied the influences on the fibrinolytic and coagulant function of rabbits. The results showed that PGMS can pronouncedly prolong the prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), kaolin partial thromboplastin time (KPTT), and enhance the activity of antithrombin-III (AT -III). PGMS can cause a remarkable increase in fibrin degradation product (FDP) , shorten euglobulin lysis time (ELT) , and a decrease in the contents of fibrinogen and plasminogen activity. These results suggested that PGMS probably exert the antithrombotic effect by inhibiting coagulation and activating fibrinolysis.
