Objective To investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on expression of gap junction genes 26, 32 and 43 in two human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. Method Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 were cultured and inoculated in culture plate. Cells were divided into 2 groups and cultured respectively with normal medium and medium contains ATRA at a concentration of 10-mol/L. After 24, 48 and 72 hours, cells were collected and total mRNA were extracted. RT-PCR was used to detect the transcription of gap junction genes 26, 32 and 43. Result SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 cultured under condition of normal medium do not express CX26 mRNA and CX32 mRNA. With the effect of ATRA for 48 and 72 hours, SMMC-7721 cell expressed CX26 mRNA and CX32 mRNA. BEL-7404 expressed CX26 mRNA and CX32 mRNA while cultured with ATRA for 72 hours. CX43 mRNA expression of the two cell lines was not altered by ATRA. Conclusion ATRA affects the expression of CX26 and CX32 in HCC cell lines SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 at the transcription level.

The lower expression of CD20 antigen molecules on the B cell membrane is the primary characteristic of B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). In this paper, we combined laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and quantum dots labeling to detect the expression and distribution of CD20 molecules on CD20+B lymphocyte surface. Simultaneously, we investigated the morphology and ultrastructure of the B lymphocytes that belonged to the normal persons and B-CLL patients through utilizing the atomic force microscope (AFM). In addition, we measured the force spectroscopy of CD20 antigen-antibody binding using the AFM tips modified with CD20 antibody. The fluorescent images indicated that the density of CD20 of normal CD20+B lymphocytes was much higher than that of B-CLL CD20+B cells. The AFM data show that ultrastructure of B-CLL CD20+B lymphocytes became more complicated. Moreover, the single molecular force spectroscopy data show that the special force of CD20 antigen-antibody was four times bigger than the nonspecific force between the naked AFM tip and cell surface. The force map showed that CD20 molecules distributed homogeneously on the normal CD20+B lymphocytes, whereas, the CD20 molecules distributed heterogenous on B-CLL CD20+B lymphocytes. Our data provide visualized evidence for the phenomenon of low-response to rituximab therapy on clinical. Meanwhile, AFM is possible to be a powerful tool for development and screening of drugs for pharmacology use.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the relationship between the DNA content in follicular epithelial cells of the human thyroid and postmortem interval (PMI).
METHODS:
Changes of the DNA content in thyroid follicular epithelial cells at different PMI were determined by Methyl Green-Pyronin (MGP) stain combined with an image analysis technique.
RESULTS:
The average DNA content in the thyroid follicular epithelial continued to decrease with increased PMI. The coefficient of determination for DNA content with average gray, aimed area, aimed area ratio and positive index in follicular epithelial cells were 0.960, 0.987, 0.988 and 0.990, respectively.
CONCLUSION
There is an apparent correlation between the average DNA content of follicular epithelial cells and the PMI. MGP stain combined with an image analysis technique seems to be a useful means to study the degradation of DNA in thyroid follicular epithelial cells.

Abnormal changes during fat formation are closely related to the prevalence of many diseases. In order to understand the formation mechanism of fat, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to characterize the morphology and mechanical properties of porcine preadipocytes during the differentiation. Preadipocytes and adipocytes were different morphologically. The surface roughness of adipocytes was less than preadipocytes by detection of the ultrastructure. The mechanical properties of preadipocytes were changed during differentiation with AFM-based force spectroscopy. Preadipocytes were 20% higher than adipocytes in the adhesion force, stiffness and Young's modulus. Therefore, AFM analysis of membrane changes related to adipocytes formation provided quantitative data in the nanometer level for further studying the formation mechanism of the adipocytes.

OBJECTIVETo report the first case of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery-assisted vaginal hysterectomy in South China, and discuss its feasibility and safety.
METHODSA 42-year-old woman with multiple myoma of the uterus underwent laparoendoscopic single-site surgery-assisted vaginal hysterectomy performed using a single multiple-channel port inserted through a solitary 2 cm upper umbilicus incision.
RESULTSThe total operative time was 3 h, and duration of the laparoendoscopic procedure was 2 h. The surgery was completed uneventfully without an additional port incision or transfer to open surgery. The intraoperative blood loss was 100 ml. Bowel peristalsis was recovered 3 days after the operation. The vaginal stump and abdominal incision healed smoothly without occurrence of vaginal bleeding.
CONCLUSIONWith the development of surgical instruments and improvement of the surgeons' skills, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery, due to its invasiveness, can be a promising approach to the management of gynecological disease including gynecological malignant tumors.
