Objective:To clarify the contribution of endogenous bFGF, bFGF mRNA and FGFR1 to the abnormal growth and phenotypic transformation of neoplastic tumors cells.Methods:The antisense oligonucleotide primers was used to evaluate the influence of endogenous bFGF on growth of human glioma malignant cell lines SWO-38 in vitro. MTT was used to examine the variety of cells growth treated with bFGF antisense oligonucleotide primers. The methods of ELISA, in situ hybridization, immuno-hischemistry and image analysis were used to detect the expression level of bFGF, bFGF mRNA and FGFR1. The colony formation of cells in soft agar was used to assess the cloning efficiency of the cells after exposed to bFGF antisense oligo-nucleotide primers.Results:The cells multiplication, expression of bFGF mRNA and FGFR1 was inhibited by bFGF antisense oligonucleotide primers,and the cells multiplication was dose-dependent. Treated with antisense oligo-nucleotide primers, the expression of FGFR1 and secretion of bFGF were distinctly reduced, and the inhibition efficiency of cells multiplication of WSO-38 was 48% and the inhibition efficiency of colonies of SWO-38 in soft agar was 35%. The inhibition of cells multiplication can be reversed completely by external bFGF, and the reverse efficiency was 8%.Conclusion:The synthesis of bFGF mRNA and expression of bFGF can be specifically inhibited by antisense oligonucleotide, but the inhibition can be cleared up with the addition of external bFGF. The study suggested that the bFGFantisense oligonucleotide could have good effect in inhibiting of tumor under special condition.

Objective To obtain the specific human scFv basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)using phage antibody library technology. Methods The library was panned with human recombinant bFGF for 4 rounds. The antigen binding activities of random clones were tested by ELISA in order to select specific antibodies, which were then examined by DNA sequence analysis. Results The positive clone selected from the 104 random clones was able to bind bFGF specifically, while not able to bind other growth factors,such as aFGF, VEGF(vascular endothelial growth factor). By competition ELISA assay we found one clone 44 could inhibit bFGF binding to FGFR1. Conclusion Seven specific human phage antibody against bFGF was obtained by phage display technique, one clone could inhibit bFGF binding to its high affinity receptor FGFR1.

Objective:To study the enhancing effect of bFGF-targeted antisense phosphorothioate oligonucleotide (APO)on the chemosensitivity of human laryngeal squamous carcinoma cell line Hep2 to Doxorubicin,5-Fluorouracil, and Cisplatin.Methods:bFGF-specific APO was designed,constructed and transfected into Hep2 cells with jetPEI (polyethyleneimine).Expression of bFGF mRNA was evaluated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR after transfection;immuno- cytochemical method was used to examine the expression of bEGF expression before and after transfection of Hep2;the in- duction of cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry;cell proliferation was then analYzed by MTT assay after treatment with bFGF-specific APO or chemotherapeutic drugs,or a combination of both.Results:bFGF-specific APO inhibited the growth of Hep2 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner,with the peak inhibitory rate being 25.5%.The expression of bFGF mRNA and protein decreased by 52.0% and 41.1%,respectively.The apoptosis rate of Hep2 cells was 20.5% after transfection,bFGF-specifie APO reduced the 50% inhibitory concentration of Doxorubicin,5-Fluorouracil,and Cis- platin in Hep2 cells by 75.5%,83.5% and 65.4%,respectively.Conclusion:bFGF-specific APO can enhance the chemosensitivity of Hep2 cells,which paves a new way for potential biologic chemotherapy of laryngeal squamous carcino- ma.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the roles of p15,p27 gene protein and expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).METHODS The EnVision immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of p15,p27 gene protein in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues of 43 NPC cases and non-tumor nasopharyngeal tissues of 21 cases.RESULTS ① The positive expression rates of p15,p27 gene protein were 65%,68% in NPC respectively.There were significant differences between NPC and non-tumor group(P0.05).③The positive expression of p15 gene protein was correlated to the positive expression of p27 gene protein(P

Objective To explore the effect of social medical treatment in improving the quality of life for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods 32 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were mentioned with social medical treatment (including psychological treatment,family visit,family tend,social healing service,etc).The result was measured by using the SQOL-NPC.and the different stages of the results were compared.Results All the patients were tracked in 2 years.All the scores were mark down in a table.Conclusion After analyzing the results,it was found that social medical treatment played an important role in improving the quality of life for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective:To analyze the feature of cranial nerve involvement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its relationship with the prognosis.Method:A total of 1892 patients who were diagnosed as NPC in our hospital from January 2002 to December 2003,of which the cranial nerve involvement was 183 (9.6%) patients, were analyzed the effect of cranial nerve involvement on the prognosis.Result:The percentage of cranial nerve involvement was 9.4%. The 5 year overall survival rate was 61.0%,disease free survival rate was 55.3%,local relapse free survival rate was 75.2% and distant metastasis free survival rate was73.4%.Periods of cranial nerve involvement,clinical stage,the diameter of the lymph nodes,involvement of cavernous sinus, and the level of the recovery of cranial nerve involvement were significantly associated with prognosis in univariate analysis(P<0.05).With multivariate analysis,the recovery level of cranial nerve involvement was the independent factor that affected the 5-year overall survival (RR=2.087). The diameter of the lymph nodes and involvement of cavernous sinus were the independent factors that affected the 5-year distant metastasis-free survival(RR=1.954 and 2.136,respectively).Conclusion:Periods of cranial nerve involvement and the level of the recovery of cranial nerve involvement were significantly correlated with prognosis. Involvement of cavernous sinus could increase the rate of distant metastasis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of biological amniotic membrane for otoscpic repair of traumatic perforation of tympanic membrane. Methods Otoscpic repair was performed on the patients with tympanic membrane perforation which was not healed for 6 months. The efficacy was observed postoperatively. Results The success rate of the procedure was 97.37%, except that one patient was not healing by first intention due to wound infection. Conclusions Biological amniotic membrane is definitely efficacious in the surgical repair of perforation of tympanic membrane. Otoscpic sugical repair is less invassive and has a higher success rate.

During oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT),endothelium-dependent vasodilation(EDD)at different time points in impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)group was lower than that in normal control group.EDD at 60 and 120 min in IGT + vitamin C group was higher than that in IGT group(all P＜0.05).There was a negative relationship between blood glucose level and EDD during OGTT in IGT patients.
