Viewpoints on the proinflammation state of leukemia

Proinflammation represents a pathophysiological state on the early stage of a number of diseases, especially the infectious and immunological ones. In recent years, proinflammation has attracted much attention, and the term 損roinflammation factors?appears frequently in the literature. While investigating leukemia and leukemic cells from the angle of 損roinflammation state? we got some intriguing findings, e.g. we detected the significantly elevated expression of proinflammation factor IL-18 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which could up-regulate matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and specific tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). The increased MMP may play a role in the aggressiveness of myeloid leukemic cells, and be associated with a poor prognosis. This phenomenon reflects an ignored aspect of leukemia. Investigations from the angle of 損roinflammation state?have broaden the fields of tumor and leukemia study.

姜黄素对鼻咽癌细胞株CNE-2Z—H5裸鼠移植瘤增殖的影响

目的：研究姜黄素对人低分化鼻咽癌细胞系亚克隆株CNE-2Z—HS裸鼠移植瘤生长和增殖的影响。方法：复制人低分化鼻咽癌细胞系亚克隆株CNE-2Z-H5裸鼠移植瘤模型，观察姜黄素对移植瘤生长的影响。结果裸鼠体内实验显示姜黄素可以抑制移植瘤的生长。不同浓度姜黄素组移植瘤瘤重与溶剂对照组比较有降低趋势，高剂量组降低更明显，差异有极显著性（P〈O．001），抑瘤率达59．75％。结论姜黄素可以抑制CNE-2Z—H5细胞裸鼠移植瘤的生长，其可能在鼻咽癌的治疗中具有一定的价值，值得进一步深入研究。     

手术治疗甲状腺肿瘤62例体会

目的探讨手术切除治疗甲状腺肿瘤的疗效。方法回顾分析我院2005至2007年收治的62例甲状腺肿瘤的患者资料，根据病情分别采用单侧甲状腺叶切除或者腺瘤单切加腺叶部分切除法，对其治疗效果、风险及并发症进行分析。结果62例患者术后除1例皮下出血，1例复发外，无喉返神经、喉上神经损伤，无永久性甲状旁腺甲状腺功能低下。结论单侧甲状腺叶切除或者腺瘤单切加腺叶部分切除法治疗甲状腺肿瘤并发症少，临床效果满意。     

Metabonomic analysis of hepatitis B virus-induced liver failure： identification of potential diagnostic biomarkers by fuzzy support vector machine

Hepatitis B virus （HBV）-induced liver failure is an emergent liver disease leading to high mortality. The severity of liver failure may be reflected by the profile of some metabolites. This study assessed the potential of using metabolites as biomarkers for liver failure by identifying metabolites with good discriminative performance for its phenotype. The serum samples from 24 HBV-indueed liver failure patients and 23 healthy volunteers were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS） to generate metabolite profiles. The 24 patients were further grouped into two classes according to the severity of liver failure. Twenty-five eommensal peaks in all metabolite profiles were extracted, and the relative area values of these peaks were used as features for each sample. Three algorithms, F-test, k-nearest neighbor （KNN） and fuzzy support vector machine （FSVM） combined with exhaustive search （ES）, were employed to identify a subset of metabolites （biomarkers） that best predict liver failure. Based on the achieved experimental dataset, 93.62% predictive accuracy by 6 features was selected with FSVM-ES and three key metabolites, glyeerie acid, cis-aeonitie acid and citric acid, are identified as potential diagnostic biomarkers.

Blocking of lectin-like adhesion molecules on pulmonary cells inhibits lung sarcoma L-1 colonization in BALB/c-mice

Summary Adhesion and inhibition experiments with pulmonary cells of BALB/c-mouse origin and syngeneic sarcoma L-1 cells indicated that L-fucose specific lectin-like adhesion molecules, presumably situated on pulmonary cell surfaces are (at least partly) responsible for the specificity of this cell-cell interaction. Addition of specific sugars and glycoconjugates (L-fucose and fucoidan, respectively) to the incubation medium evidently inhibited the adhesion process as quantified using radiolabelled tumor cells. Unspecific carbohydrates (e.g. D-galactose) did not affect the cellular interaction. In vivo, repeated administration of fucoidan (but not of unspecific glycoconjugates) significantly inhibited the settling of metastatic sarcoma L-1 cells in the lungs of BALB/c-mice. Therefore, when lectin-like adhesion molecules on pulmonary cells were blocked with competitive glycoconjugates, tumor cell colonization of the lung could be significantly inhibited.     

Pyruvate kinase inhibited by L-cysteine as a marker of tumorigenic human urothelial cell lines

Summary It was found that a decrease in electrophoretic mobility of pyruvate kinase (PK) isoenzyme, and an increase of the sensitivity of this enzyme to L-cysteine, were markers of immortalization and tumorigenic properties, respectively, in human urothelial cell lines characterized by different grades of transformation (TGr) in vitro.     

人垂体嫌色性腺瘤细胞ConA受体和 RNA分布的研究

应用荧光标记的ConA和RNase结合半薄切片技术对人垂体嫌色性腺瘤细胞ConA受体和RNA的分布进行了观察。结果表明,ConA受体主要分布在腺瘤细胞的核膜上,细胞质和质膜上ConA受体较少。RNA在一些细胞中主要分布在核中,一些细胞的细胞质中也有RNA分布。总体而言RNA的合成水平较高。这些结果对于探讨垂体嫌色性腺瘤细胞的特性及病理发生具有一定的意义,同时可为临床诊断及临床检验提供一些依据。
