RESUMEN
Objective To establish an intestinal organoid-based assay to investigate the radiation mitigation effect of epiregulin in vitro. Methods Intestinal crypts were released from tissue incubated with EDTA. Intestinal crypts seeded in 3D matrigel were irradiated at 24 h after plating. The radiation mitigation effect of epiregulin was evaluated by measuring the survival rate, size and budding numbers of the organoid after irradiation, and the basic FGF was used as a positive control of epiregulin. Results Radiation-induced lethality and dose-dependent survival curve of the intestinal organoid were consistent with in vivo data. Treatment with epiregulin (400 ng/ml) at 24 h post-radiation significantly increased survival rate of 8 Gy X-ray irradiated intestinal organoid in comparison with non-treated group [(12.56 ± 1.02)%vs. (4.73 ± 0.38)%, t=12.43,P<0.05]. Conclusions Epiregulin has radiation mitigation effect on intestinal organoid and could serve as a potential medical countermeasure to mitigate gastrointestinal toxicity.
RESUMEN
Neddylation is a post-translational protein modification process. MLN4924 is a newly discovered pharmaceutical neddylation inhibitor that suppresses cancer growth with several cancer types. In our study, we first investigated the effect of MLN4924 on colon cancer cells (HCT116 and HT29). MLN4924 significantly inhibited the neddylation of cullin-1 and colon cancer cell growth in a time and dose-dependent manner. MLN4924 induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HCT116 and HT29 cells. Moreover, MLN4924 also triggered autophagy in HCT116 and HT29 cells via suppressing the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Inhibiting autophagy by autophagy inhibitor 3-MA or ATG5 knockdown reversed the function of MLN4924 in suppressing colon cancer cell growth and cell death. Interestingly, MLN4924 suppresses colon cell growth in a xenograft model. Together, our finding revealed that blocking neddylation is an attractive colon cancer therapy strategy, and autophagy might act as a novel anti-cancer mechanism for the treatment of colon cancer by MLN4924.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the strategies of surgical approaches,indications and surgical techniques of local resection for mid-lower rectal tumors and pelvic floor neoplasia.Methods Clinical data of 122 patients underwent local resection for mid-lower rectal tumors pelvic floor neoplasia between July 2004 and July 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Transanal,transsacral,transsphincteric local resection was respectively performed in 45,and 32,and 45 patients.Pathological examination proved that benign tumors were account for 81 cases,pelvic floor neoplasia 16 cases,malignant tumors 25 cases.The masses were 5.6 cm(0 to 12 cm) apart from the anal border,and the mean tumors' diameter was 4.2 cm (0.5 to 11 cm).No case was diagnosed with positive margins upon final pathology of resected specimens.The rate of postoperative complications of transanal,transsacral,transsphincteric approaches was 8.9% (4/45),18.8% (6/32),20.0% (9/45),respectively.The recurrence of transanal,transsacral,transsphincteric approaches was 6.7% (3/45),9.4% (3/32),4.4% (2/45),respectively.Conclusions The three approaches for patients suffering from mid-lower rectal tumors and pelvic floor neoplasia have respectively advantages.Transsphincteric approach is the most useful methods,but with more postoperative complications,so it need more surgical techniques.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effects of daidzein (DA) on the expressions of estrogen receptors (ER) and peroxisome proliferator-activated recepor γ (PPARγ) in osteoblasts and the influence of estrogen on these effects.Methods A mouse osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 cultured in α-MEM containing 2% FBS was treated by 0.1 and 10 μmol/L DA.ER antagonist ICI182780 and PPARγ antagonist GW9662 in 0.1 μmol/L was added as required,and an equivalent amount of phosphate buffer solution (PBS) was used as control.For the study on estrogen effect,the cells were treated by DA in the serum-free medium with or without 10 nmol/L 17β-estradiol (E2).The expressions of ERa,ERβ and PPARγ were determined by real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis,respectively.Results DA inhibited ER,expression but stimulated PPARγ expression in the cells at the concentration of 0.1 and 10 μmol/L.The down-regulation of ERα by DA could be blocked by ICI182780,whereas the up-regulation of PPARγ could be repressed by GW9662 in transcription levels.Furthermore,the inhibitory effect of DA on ERβ expression was markedly enhanced,while its stimulatory effect on PPARγ expression was almost lost in serum-free medium with 10 nmol/L 17βestradiol as determined by real-time RT-PCR.Conclusions Besides its direct roles in ERs and PPARγ mediated gene transcriptions,DA could exert indirect effect on cellular pharmacological responses by altering ER and PPARγ expressions.The predominant influence on receptors expression probably involved in the time-related biphasic effects of DA on osteogenesis,which was supposedly influenced by estrogen level.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the expression patterns of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in osteoblast and its responses to calcium, phosphate, exogenous PTH and 1,25(OH)_2D~3. Methods The primary rat calvarial osteoblasts were cultured in MEM medium which containing 10% FBS, then were harvested when cells were in half-confluence, confluence, osteoid deposition and osteoid mineralization stages respectively. The procedure was monitored under microscopy. Total RNA was extracted from cells according to the Trizol procedure. FGF23 mRNA levels were determined by Real-time PCR. Further, the confluent osteoblasts were treated with 3.2 mmol/L CaCl_2, 4.4 mmol/L β-glycerophosphate, 10~(-9) mol/L rhPTH(1-34) and 10~(-8) mol/L 1,25(OH)_2D_3 respectively for 3 days, and same volume of the medium was added as the control. The gene expressions were determined by Real-time PCR. Results FGF23 expression was transiently up-regulated at cell confluent stage and down-regulated after that. The FGF23 mRNA levels were 7.5-fold higher in confluent cells compared with that in half-confluent cells (P<0.001). The markedlly stimulating effect (about 16 times) on FGF23 expression was stimulated by exogenous 1,25(OH)_2D_3 treatment while no significant effect was found on FGF23 mRNA levels by CaCl_2,β-glycerophosphate, and rhPTH(1-34) treatments when compared with the control. Conclusions The FGF23 expression in osteoblast is developmental stage-related and its powerful stimulator is 1,25(OH)_2D.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the value of international normalized ratio (INR) in predicting and diagnosing hemorrhagic events in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)receiving wafarin, to determine the optimal cut-off value of INR for predicting hemorrhagic events by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Methods The data of 231 patients with NVAF receiving wafarin were retrospectively analyzed, including 93 patients with hemorrhagic events and 138cases without hemorrhagic events as control group. The PT and INR were detected by Sysmex CA-500 with Medcalc software plotting ROC curve. Results The area under the ROC curve for INR was 0. 822 (95%CI: 0. 717-0. 900), the analysis of ROC curve revealed the optimal cut-off value of INR was 2.71, which presented a sensitivity of 77.40% and a specificity of 78.30%. Conclusions Through evaluation by ROC curve, the new cut-off value provides substantial improvement in sensitivity, with an acceptable loss of specificity. The value on predicting hemorrhagic events is better, the discriminative power of INR between hemorrhagic events and nonhemorrhagic events is satisfactory. The cut-off value of INR can guide the clinical physicians to predict the risks of hemorrhagic and promote proper use of clinical medications.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the earlier pathological character and mechanism of radiation osteonecrosis in femoral head, in order to provide evidences for the earlier diagnosis and prevention of radiation osteonecrosis of femoral head. Methods Single femoral head of rats were irradiated singly with 30 Gy of 137 Cs γ-ray. The rats were executed after 2, 6 and 12 weeks, then the femurs were stained with HE and histopatholngical changes were observed by light microscope. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were cultured after 2 weeks and its proliferation and the colony formation were observed. The rats were endo-perfused with microfili contrast medium 12 weeks later, and the 3-dimensional structure of capillaries by Micro-CT was re-estabhshed to detect the pathological changes of capillaries after irradiation. Result The irradiated femur showed deranged cbondrocyte, decreased osteocyte, shrinking nucleus, increased empty bone lacuna and reduced bone trabocnla (P < 0.05). Micro-CT showed the discontinued small vessels and absence(6.65 %) capillaries in irradiated femur were obviously less than those of the unirradiated (12.3 %)(P < 0.001). The proliferation of BMSCs was slowed, the number of colony in irradiated group (10 %) was less than that of control (21 %) (P < 0.001). Conclusions The preliminary histopathological changes of osteoradionecrosis on femoral head could be increased the empty bone lacuna, and the bone lacuna above 30 % was the sign of the earlier period of osteoradionecrosis. The osteonecrosis of femoral head induced by radiation is not only correlated to the damages to the bone, but also to the damages to BMSCs and capillaries.

BACKGROUND: Diphosphonate has a predominant therapeutic effect in the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Ibandronate, as a new-type diphosphonate preparation, is gradually becoming a study hotspot.OBJECTIVE: This study is to investigate the efficiency of ibandronate in interfering postmenopausal osteoposis by observing bone mass loss related indexes in ovariectomized rats, and made a comparison with nilestriol.DESIGN: A completely randomized grouping, and controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Study Room for Bone metabolism, Fudan University Medical College.MATERIALS: Forty SD female rats, aged 10-12 months, were involved in this study. Ibandronate was provided by the State Key Laboratory of Jiangsu Institute of Atomic Medicine. Nilestriol was produced in the Shanghai 12th Pharmaceutical Factory.METHODS: This experiment was carried out in the Study Room for Bone Metabolism, Institute of Radiation Medicine,Shanghai Medical University between August 1996 and June 1998. The rats were divided into 4 groups by a lot, 10 rats in each: sham-operation group, ovariectomized group, ovariectomized+ibandronate group and ovariectomized +nilestriol group. In the sham-operation group, only small pieces of adipose tissue around the ovary were resected from the rats.Three months after operation, each rat was intragastrically administrated with 1 mL normal saline; In the ovariectomized group, ovariectomized+ibandronate group and ovariectomized +nilestriol group, each rat was subjected to bilateral ovariectomy, and 3 months later, they were intragastrically administrated with normal saline, ibandronate water solution [0.5 mg/( kg·d)] and nilestriol suspension [1 mg/(kg· time)] respectively. Each rat in the latter three groups was administrated for 90 days, twice in the first week, and then once a week.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Left femur was taken out, and its dry weight and ash weight were measured. Calcium content of bone was determined with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, bone density of the whole body with a bone density apparatus, the bone density at the juncture of 1/2 right femoral bone length with a single photon bone density apparatus, and femoral anti-bending force was determined with a universal testing machine. Alkaline phosphatase were determined by dynamical method with an automatic biochemistry analyzer, urine calcium by EDTA titration method, urine creatinine by picric kinetic method, and urinary hydroxyproline by modified proline assay.Trabecular area was calculated.RESULTS: Forty rats were involved in the final analysis. ① Bone dry weight, bone ash weight and bone calcium content in the ovariectomized group were significantly lower than those in the other 3 groups, respectively (t =13.58-52.98, P <0.05). ② Femoral bone density and bone density of the whole body of rats in the ovariectomized group were significantly lower than those in the other 3 groups (t =3.31-5.61, P<0.05), while anti-bending force was close between ovariectomized group and the other 3 groups (P>0.05). ③ The ratio of urine calcium to urine creatinine was significantly lower in the ovariectomized+ibandronate group and ovariectomized +nilestriol group than in the ovariectomized group (t =4.04, 3.30, P<0.05). No significant difference in the alkaline phosphatase and ratio of urinary hydroxyproline to urinary creatinine existed among the groups (P > 0.05). ④Trabecular area of vertebrae in the ovariectomized group was significantly smaller than that in the other 3 groups (t =2.22,2.41,3.45,P < 0.05), while the trabecular area of tibia in the ovariectomized group was only smaller than that in the ovariectomized +nilestriol group (t =2.45, P< 0.05).CONCLUSION: Osteoporosis apPears obviously in the SD rats 3 months after ovariectomy. Ibandronate has obviously inhibitory effects on the bone mass loss of rats with postmenopausal osteoposis, and it is equivalent to nilestriol in inhibitory effect.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The expression of Fas antigen and P53 protein in colorectal cancer could reflect the biological character and the prognosis of the tumor.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the expression of Fas antigen and P53 protein in coloreetal cancer and the tumor-related biological characters.DESIGN: A controlled experiment by introducing pathological specimens as subjects.SETTING: The study was conducted in the Department of Pathology of Xijing Hospital Affiliated with the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANT S: Totally 32 pathological specimens of colorectal cancer were randomly selected from the Department of Surgery of Xijing Hospital between January 1995 and October 1998. Sixteen normal large intestine tissues were selected form the cadaver of pathology department.METHODS: The expression of Fas antigen and P53 protein in 32 colorectal cancer tissue and 16 normal intestine tissue were tested and compared with immunohistochemical method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fas antigen and P53 protein expression in coloreetal cancer and normal intestine, and the clinical indicators of patients with colorectal cancer.RESULTS: The expression of Fas antigen was positive in normal large intestine tissue while the expression of P53 protein was negative. The positive rate of Fas antigen expression in colorectal cancer was 41% (13/32), while the positive rate of P53 expression in colorectal caner was 53% (17/32). Fas antigen significantly decreased in colorectal cancer tissues. The expression of Fas antigen was correlated with the histological type of colorectal cancer and its liver metastasis( P < 0.05) . And the expression of P53 protein was correlated with the liver metastasis of colorectal cancer( P < 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The expression of Fas antigen significantly decreases in colorectal cancer. The higher the malignance is, the more significant less the expression is. Fas antigen does not express in liver metastasis patients. P53protein had positive expression in colorectal cancer tissues, especially in patients with liver metastasis. The reduction and deletion of Fas antigen expression and the excessive expression of P53 protein indicate poor prognosis.
