OBJECTIVETo investigate whether bortezomib can enhance the sensitivity of human prostate cancer (PCa) cells to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and whether it produces the same effect on different PCa cell lines.
METHODSWe treated androgen-dependent PCa LNCaP cells and androgen-independent PCa DU145 cells with bortezomib at the concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 nmol/L for 24, 48 and 72 hours, and then detected the proliferation and apoptosis of the tumor cells by CCK-8 and Annexin V/PI, respectively.
RESULTSThe proliferation rates of the DU145 cells treated with 15, 20 and 25 nmol/L bortezomib were (82.79 +/-2.04)%, (73.59+/- 2.95)% and (74.16+/- 6. 16)% at 48 hours and (71.24+/- 5.30)%, (51.20+/- 2.91)% and (38.02+/- 2.67)% at 72 hours, and those of the LNCaP cells were (77.04+/- 7.74)% , (42.61 +/- 6.62)% and (23.85 +/-6.04)% at 48 hours and (36.45 +/-7.02)%, (14.94 +/-5.76)% and (11.65 +/-5. 87)% at 72 hours, both significantly inhibited as compared with the control group (P <0.05). At 24 hours, the apoptosis rates of the DU145 cells treated with 15, 20 and 25 nmol/L bortezomib were (14.41 +/- 1.32)% , (16.13 +/- 1.55)% and (14.48 +/- 1.42)% , and those of the LNCaP cells treated with 20 and 25 nmol/L bortezomib were (12.77 +/- 1.28)% and (14. 84 +/- 1.65)% , significantly higher than those of the control group (P <0.05) , and the DU145 cells showed an even higher sensitivity to bortezomib than the LNCaP cells. Bortezomib failed to sensitize these two cell lines to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity in short-term assay, while long-term assay manifested that the apoptosis rates of DU145 and LNCaP cells after treated with 20 nmol/L bortezomib + NK cells were (41.83 +/- 5.06)% and (30.31 +/- 3.62)% , respectively, significantly higher
CONCLUSIONBortezomib enhances the sensitivity of than those after treated with either bortezomib or NK cells alone (P <0.05). PCa cells to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity and adds to the effect of current cancer therapies, and it is more efficacious for androgen-independent prostate cancer.

97 cases of jaw bone fractures were treated with rigid internal fixation.16 cases had malocclusion postoperation.The etiology was analyzed and the prevention methods were proposed.Intermaxillary elastic traction or fixation and craniomaxillofacial fixation or craniomentum elastic traction were performed to treat the malocclusion.By this way,14 cases were cured.1 case was operated again to resume the normal occlusion,1 case received occlusal adjustment.Incomplete reduction,incorrect operative performance,deficiency of postoperative intermaxillary fixation and incorrect intermaxillary fixation were the main causes to malocclusion.So anatomic in time reduction,correct operative performance,intermaxillary fixation,application of craniomaxillofacial fixation or craniomentum elastic traction instead of intermaxillary fixation for some special cases are effective methods to correct postoperative malocclusion.

Objective To study whether ultrasound combined with microbubbles induces suppress invasion in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells PC-3 and to identify the probable mechanism.Methods Ultrasound with a frequency of 21 kHz and intensity of 46 mW/cm2 in continuous wave mode was used.Ultrasound combined with microbubbles (200 μl SonoVue) was used to treat androgen-independent human prostate cancer PC-3 cells for 30 seconds.PC-3 cells were divided into three groups:control group,ultrasound group and ultrasound combined with microbubbles group.Twelve hours after treatment,cell growth curve we drawn,and transwell chamber model was used to do cell invasion experiments in vitro.Real-time PCR was used to measure the expression matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 messenger ribonucleic acid.Results Twelve hours after treatment,cell growth was not significant difference among three groups (P > 0.05).Twelve hours after treatment,ultrasound combined with microbubbles could significantly inhibit the invasion of human prostate cancer cells (P <0.05).Treatment with ultrasound combined with microbubbles down-regulated the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 messenger ribonucleic acid.Conclusions Ultrasound combined with microbubbles inhibited the invasion in human androgen-independent prostate cancer cells through down-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9.

Objective To investigate the methods of X-ray diagnosis of various displacement of unstable pelvic fracture in three-dimensional space and its instructive significance in closed reduction.Methods A normal adult pelvic specimen was selected and fixed in a wood-frame at supine position after soft tissue rejection and ligament preservation.With the breakage at the unilateral anterior-posterior ring,models of hemipelvic rotation in the transverse and sagittal planes and hemipelvic vertically upward displacement were induced.Anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvic specimen were made and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) was used to measure width of iliac wing,suprainferior diameter of hemipelvis,vertical displacement of iliac crest,acetabulum roof,pubic tubercle and sciatic tuber and area of obturator foramen.Methods of X-ray diagnosis of various displacements of hemipelvis were concluded and applied in treatment of 43 patients with unstable pelvic fractures.Operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded.Postoperative images were evaluated by Matta standard.Results Hemipelvic rotation in transverse plane included eversion and inversion.Width of iliac crest was enlarged and area of obturator foramen was shrunk while extroversion ; on the contrary,an opposite result was observed while inversion.Sagittal rotation included pronation and supination.Pubic tubercle had obvious downward shift,iliac crest presented no change or slight upward shift,suprainferior diameter of hemipelvis was lengthened,iliac roof and sciatic tuber remained their position unchanged and area of obturator foramen was shrunk while pronation; on the contrary,pubic tubercle had obvious upward shift,iliac crest presented no change or slight downward shift,suprainferior diameter of hemipelvis was shortened,iliac roof and sciatic tuber remained their position unchanged and area of obturator foramen was enlarged while supination; iliac crest,acetabular roof,pubic tubercle and sciatic tuber presented equidistant upward shift while the hemipelvis displaced upward vertically.Average operation time was 55 minutes (range,15-85 minutes) and intraoperative blood loss was 26 ml (range,10-50 ml).According to Matta standard,pelvic radiography evaluation at postoperative 3 days was excellent in 31 cases and good in 12 cases,with excellent and good rate of 100%.Conclusion Pelvis X-ray films are able to diagnose various three-dimensional displacement of unstable pelvic fractures and guide closed reduction timely and rapidly to achieve satisfactory result.

Objective To study the effect of interleukin 2(IL-2)of clinical dose range,on the proliferation of human peripheral blood T cells,with special emphasis on the number and functional phenotype of γδT cells.Methods Human peripheral blood mononuelear cells(PBMCs)were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and cultured for 2 weeks at different IL-2 concentrations.Ratio and phenotype of different T cell subpopulations before and after in vitro expansion were explored by immunofluorescence staining.Cell number was estimated by trypan blue staining and cell counting.Results Within the four functional phenotypes of Vδ1 as well as Vδ2 γδT cells,CD27~+cells(including CD27~+CD45RA~+and CD27~+CD45RA~-subsets)expressed lymphoid tissue homing receptor CCR7,whereas CD27~-cells(including CD27~-CD45RA~+and CD27~-CD45RA~-subsets)had the peripheral tissue homing potential.All the studied γδT functional subsets showed the expression of activity related receptors,and the ability of a rapid production of various amount of cytotoxicity related effectors following mitogen stimulation.Although IL-2 at high concentration suppressed the proliferation of CD4 T cells,it may promote the proliferation of γδT cells.The proliferated γδT cells were mainly CD27~-CD45RA~-effector cells.Conclusion IL-2 of the clinical dose range may promote proliferation of human peripheral blood γδT cells,which might have important biological significance in IL-2 based anti-tumor therapy.
