OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic features of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) in female genital tract.

METHODSSix cases of PNET arising in female genital tract were retrospectively reviewed. The clinicopathologic features, immunohistochemical findings and EWS gene translocation study results were analyzed.

RESULTSThe age of patients ranged from 10 to 27 years (mean = 20 years). The sites of involvement included ovary (1 case), uterus (1 case), vulva (2 cases) and vagina (2 cases). The greatest diameter of the tumor ranged from 2 to 10 cm (mean = 5.4 cm). The tumor had nodular appearance and showed grayish-pink fleshy cut surface, accompanied by foci of hemorrhage and necrosis. Histologically, the tumor was composed of malignant small round cells with indistinct cell borders, hyperchromatic nuclei, dense chromatin, tiny nucleoli and scanty cytoplasm. The tumor cells were arranged in sheets or lobules. Homer-Wright rosettes were identified in 1 case. Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells were positive for CD99, FLI-1 and CD56 (6/6). Focal expression of vimentin (5/6), NSE (5/6), nestin (4/6), synaptophysin (4/6), S-100 protein (2/6) and chromogranin A (1/6) was also demonstrated. EWS gene translocation was detected in 5 cases studied. Follow-up information was available in 2 patients (7 and 17 months of follow up, respectively). One of them died of tumor metastasis 17 months after diagnosis. The other patient was still alive.

CONCLUSIONSPNET arising in female genital tract is rare. It mainly involves ovary, uterus, vulva and vagina. Immunohistochemical study using a panel of antibodies and fluorescence in-situ hybridization play an important role in definitive diagnosis of this rare malignancy.

Objective To investigate the effect on radioactivity in drinking water around Qinshan nuclear power station (QNPS)in normal operational condition.Methods The field monitoring and laboratory analysis methods were adopted to detect the total radioactivity level in drinking water in 2015,according to different distances from the nuclear island and different types of water.Results The total alpha and total beta radioactivity level in drinking water around QNPS were 0.027(0.098)Bq /L and 0.263(0.071)Bq /L respectively,which were obviously lower than the national health standard limits(total alpha and total beta are 0.5,1.0 Bq /L respectively).Total radioactivity level had no relation with the distance from the nuclear island (P >0.05).The total alpha radioactivity in deep well water was the highest among the investigated three types of drinking water,and the highest value was 0.224 Bq /L.The beta radioactivity level in river water was the highest,and the highest value was 0.408 Bq /L.The total alpha radioactivity level was 0.017 (0.013)Bq /L in 2015, higher than the average level during 2010—2014.The beta radioactivity average level was 0.319 (0.102)and 0.289 (0.055)Bq /L,also higher than the average level during 2010—2014.Conclusion The total radioactivity in drinking water among nuclear power plant is in normal background level,so at present there is no effect of the radioactive contamination on drinking water around QNPS in nuclear power plant's normal operational condition.

Objective To establish a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) through the optimization of the chromatographic conditions, which can detect the contents of clenbuterol hydrochloride (CL) residues in animal edible product in a large quantity. Methods The animal edible product were extracted by perchloric acid, and then impurities were removed by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) which used ethyl acetate- isopropanol. After the organic phase was concentrated, C18 column (150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used to separate CL. Mobile phase were methanol-sodium dihydrogen phosphate, and then determined by HPLC. Results A good linear response was obtained over the range of 0.2-10.0 μg/mL with the correlation coefficient (r) 0.99984. The method determination limit was 0.15 μg/kg which was lower than the National standard method 0.5μg/kg. The retention time of the CL was 6.51 min, the chromatographic peak was good. The recovery rates spiked with standards 1.6-12 μg were 92.86％-100.93％, which was higher than National standard method (89.79％-92.36％) . The precision of intra-day and inter-day were both under 5％, which lower than National standard. Conclusion The optimized chromatographic conditions are suitable for the large quantity determination of clenbuterol hydrochloride in animal edible product.

BACKGROUNDTo observe the LMP2 specific cellular and humoral immune responses after immunization with recombinant adenovirus Ad-LMP2 in rhesus.

METHODSThe rhesuses were immunized with Ad-LMP2 through intra muscular injection in three groups, high dosage (4.5 x 10(11) VP/kg), medium dosage (1.5 x 10(11) VP/kg) and low dosage (0.5 x 10(11) VP/kg) groups. They were totally immunized six times at intervals of 5 days. The specific cellular immune responses were tested during the 7th week by ELISPOT after immunization. And the titers of anti-LMP2 antibody were tested by EIA throughout the period of immunization.

RESULTSLMP2 induced specific cellular and humoral immune responses in all three dosage group. The potency of immune responses was related with the dosage of immunization. Higher dosage elicited more potent immune response. Both the neutralizing antibody to adenovirus and anti-LMP2 antibody could be detected from 2 weeks after immunization. They would reach the peak during 3-4 weeks after immunization, then declined during the 7th week after immunization.

CONCLUSIONThe recombinant adenovirus LMP2 could induce specific cellular and humoral responses in rhesus after immunization.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity to 5 clinically commonly used anticancer drugs in vivo using the zebrafish xenotransplantation models of human lung cancer,stomach cancer,and liver cancer cells,respectively. Methods Zebrafish xenotransplantation models of A549 lung cancer cells,SGC-7901 stomach cancer cells and HepG2 liver cancer cells were established. The xenograft models of A549 cells were treated with three different doses of cis-platinum, paclitaxel, vinorelbine, endostar and bevacizumab, respectively. The SGC-7901 model was treated with three concentrations or doses of paclitaxel, irinotecan, hydroxyurea, cis-platinum and 5-fluorouracil, respectively. And the HepG2 model was treated with three concentrations or doses of adriamycin,gemcitabine,hydroxyurea,cis-platinum and 5-fluorouracil. The tumors were analyzed and quantified in vivo by fluorescence microscopy,and the inhibition rates of tumor growth with each drug were calculated and compared with the model control group for statistical significance. Results All of the tested anticancer drugs showed inhibitory effect on tumor cells in the zebrafish xenograft models with statistical significance in a dose-dependent manner. During the drug sensitivity test,the inhibition rate of bevacizumab on A549 lung cancer cells decreased in the order(65%)> cis-platinum(55%)> vinorelbine(40%)> endostar(39%)>paclitaxel(27%). As for the SGC-7901 stomach cancer cells, the tumor growth inhibition rate decreased in the order hydroxyurea(46%)> 5-FU(31%)= irinotecan(31%)> paclitaxel(26%)> cis-platinum(24%). And the therapeutic effect of cis-platinum on the HepG2 liver cancer cells decreased in the order(64%)> hydroxyurea(56%)>gemcitabine(46%)> adriamycin(45%)> 5-FU(38%). Conclusions Zebrafish xenotransplantation models of cancer cells are suitable for in vivo sensitivity test of anticancer drugs.

This study aims to investigate the potential mechanism of curcumin in mediating interleukin-6(IL-6)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) signaling pathway to repair intestinal mucosal injury induced by 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) chemotherapy for colon cancer. SD rats were intraperitoneally injected with 60 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) 5-FU for 4 days to establish a model of intestinal mucosal injury. Then the rats were randomly divided into model group(equal volume of normal saline), curcumin low, medium and high dose groups(50, 100, 200 mg·kg~(-1)), and normal SD rats were used as control group(equal volume of normal saline). Each group received gavage administration for 4 consecutive days, and the changes of body weight and feces were recorded every day. After administration, blood was collected from the heart, and jejunum tissues were collected. The levels of serum interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were detected by ELISA, and at the same time, the concentration of Evans blue(EB) in jejunum was measured. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological state of jejunum, and the length of jejunum villi and the depth of crypt were measured. The positive expression levels of claudin, occludin and ZO-1 were detected by immunohistochemistry. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of IL-6, p-STAT3, E-cadherin, vimentin and N-cadherin in jejunum tissues. The results showed that, curcumin significantly increased body weight and fecal weight(P<0.05 or P<0.01), decreased fecal score, EB concentration, IL-1β and TNF-α levels(P<0.05 or P<0.01) in rats. In addition, curcumin maintained the integrity of mucosal surface and villi structure of jejunum to a large extent, and reduced pathological changes in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, curcumin could increase the positive expression of occludin, claudin and ZO-1(P<0.05 or P<0.01), repair intestinal barrier function, downregulate the protein expression of IL-6, p-STAT3, vimentin and N-cadherin in jejunum tissues(P<0.05 or P<0.01), and upregulate the protein expression of E-cadherin(P<0.05). Therefore, curcumin could repair the intestinal mucosal injury induced by 5-FU chemotherapy for colon cancer, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of IL-6/STAT3 signal and the inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) process.

Objective To evaluate and analyze the panel composition and conflict of interest management of clinical practice guidelines of rehabilitation.Methods Clinical practice guidelines of rehabilitation were systematically retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, China Biology Medicine disc, CNKI, Wanfang Data and Medlive database, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, National Guideline Clearinghouse, The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, World Health Organization (WHO) and Guidelines International Network until January 11, 2020. Two researchers independently screened and cross-checked the literatures, and extracted the basic information of included guidelines, including the title, formulating institution, published journol, as well as the expert group, the number of expert group, the specific division of labor and their discipline, affiliation and the geographic location, the statement and management of conflict of interest, types of conflicts of interest, and whether to accept fund and the source of the fund.Results A total of 84 guidelines were finally included, 17 domestic ones and 67 foreign ones, in which, 52 (61.9%) reported the expert panel; 22 (26.2%) reported the number of expert panel groups, 21 (25.0%) indicated the specific division of work among the members of the expert panel, 74 (88.1%) reported the names of the members of the expert panel, 47 (56.0%) reported the subjects and specialties of the panelists, 70 (83.3%) reported the affiliation and location of panelists, 14 (16.7%) mentioned the management of conflicts of interest, and 25 (29.8%) reported if there were conflicts of interest. Only five of the 16 funded guidelines stated that there was no conflict of interest between the funding and the development of the guidelines. Among them, the reporting rate of expert panel was significantly higher in foreign countries than in China (χ2 = 9.542, P < 0.01), the reporting rate of name of expert panel members and specific division of labor were higher in foreign countries than in China ( χ2 > 4.155, P < 0.05), and the reporting rate of conflict of interest management was also higher in foreign countries than in China ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in whether there was a conflict of interest, whether it was funded and the type of funding at home and abroad ( P > 0.05). Conclusion In gerenal, clinical practice guidelines of rehabilitation published at home and abroad are necessary to be improved in the reporting quality of expert group formulation and division of labor, conflict of interest reporting and management. It is proposed that future guideline developers should follow the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development, assign roles of experts, strengthen the management and reporting of conflicts of interest, and standarderize the development process and reporting of the guidelines.
