ABSTRACT
A new series of 3-phenyl-3-pyrrolylpentane derivatives are synthesized through modifying the structure of lead compound LG19055,a nonsecosteroidal vitamin D receptor(VDR)agonist.The VDR-agonistic ability of target compounds was measured indirectly by evaluating the differentiation ability of HL-60 cell.The results showed that compounds 13a,13c,13d,13h,13i,13j have excellent VDR-agonistic ability(EC50 <50 μmol /L), especially for compound 13j (EC50 =0.10 μmol /L),which was more potential than that of lead compound LG190155.Their proliferation inhibitory activities in vitro were evaluated by MTT assay in MCF-7,PC-3,Caco-2, HepG2 and L02 cell lines.Compound 13a exhibited significant inhibitory effects on HepG2 cell line(IC50 =0.11μmol /L).Moreover,the inhibitory effect of compound 13a on non-tumor liver L02 cell line was relatively weak (IC50 =15.24 μmol /L ),suggesting that compound 13a has selective inhibitory effects on liver cancer cells.Additionally,HL-60 cell differentiation-inducing activity and the inhibitory effect of cancer cells were posi-tively related.
ABSTRACT
Pancreatic cancer is a kind of high degree of malignant gastrointestinal tumor,and its incidence has increased significantly in recent years.Due to the low early diagnosis rate,and the extreme low middile or late resection rate of pancreatic cancer,Pancreatic cancer's prognosis is poor.Therefore,improving the early diagnostic rate of pancreatic cancer has very important significance for improving the prognosis.Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is dependent on tumor markers detection to a great extent.And proteomics progress rapidly in recent years and has been widely applied in clinical research.It provides an effective way to find markers.Among all of the spec imens,secrum is easy to obtain,and it allows repetitive detection.What is more,secmm is also renewable.So it is the most ideal for biological specimens.In this review,the proteomics technology role in pancreatic cancer patients serum detection were summarized.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the final adult height (FAH) outcome and influencing factors in Turner′s Syndrome(TS) children treated with recombinant human growth hormone ( rhGH ).Methods Thirty TS children treated with rhGH were compared with 16 TS children without rhGH treatment and were followed up to achieve their FAH.Comparisons were made regarding predicted adult height (PAH),height standard deviation score for chronological age( HtSDScA ),height SDS for BA( HtSDSRA ),and growth velocity ( GV ) between rhGH treatment and without treatment groups and between the onset and by the end of rhGH treatment group.The factors determining FAH were also evaluated.Results FAH in rhGH treatment group was obviously improved as compared with untreatment group[ ( 149.5±6.3 vs 142.4±5.2) cm,P＜0.01 ].FAH in treatment group was positively correlated with height standard deviation score for chronological age ( Ht0 SDSCA ),Hto SDS for BA ( Hto SDSBA ),height age ( HA0 ) at preliminary diagnosis,and correlated with duration of rhGH therapy,duration of estrogen-free rhGH therapy,and PAH0SDS at preliminary diagnosis.Stepwise regression analysis indicated that duration of estrogen-free rhGH therapy and PAH0 SDS were the variables with the greatest identified influence on FAH (F =11.56 and F =86.91,P＜ 0.01 ).FAH in the 45,XO group was significantly different from the mosaicism group (45,XO/46,XX ) [ ( 147.2 ± 6.3 vs 153.3±6.4) cm,P =0.038].Conclusion rhGH treatment is efficacious in improving FAH of TS children,but a variability in the magnitude of the response to rhGH is recognized.Duration of estrogen-free rhGH therapy and PAH0SDS are the variables with the greatest identified influence on FAH,and karyotype may be one of the influence factors.rhGH treatment should be initiated as early as possible and sufficient course of estrogen-free rhGH therapy is needed to yield a satisfactory FAH.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a clinical score system of giant cell tumors (GCT) according to its morphological features presented on three-dimensional (3D) computed tomographic imaging. Methods Sixteen patients with GCT around knee were included from January 2006 to March 2009. Of the tumors, 9 were located in the distal part of femur, and 7 were in proximal part of tibia. Each patient was exposed to spiral CT preoperatively. Then these primitive CT dates were inputted into digital Orthopedics clinical research platform. With 3D surfaces reconstruction and volume rendering, we reconstructed 3D morphology of GCT. The measurement index included pathological fracture, the degree of involvement of cortical bone, the volume of tumor, the distance between tumor and joint surface and the percentage of involvement areas of articular surface. On account of previous literature and above data, clinical score system of GCT was established. Its feasibility was testified by clinical data. Results A new clinical score system of GCT was established. It was named Hu-Chen Giant Cell Tumor Scale. Full score of the system was 12. In the 16 patients, 5patients whose points was more than 9 elevated by Hu-Chen Giant Cell Tumor Scale preoperatively were treated by wide excision and prosthetic replacement. The postoperative average MSTS score of 5 patients was 27, and there were no recurrence. The 5 patients whose points was 6-8 elevated by Hu-Chen Scale were treated by intralesional excision and structured allograft. The postoperative average MSTS score of the patients was 29, and 1 case underwent recurrence whose points was 8. The 6 patients whose points were less than 6 elevated by Hu-Chen Scale were treated by intralesional excision and morsellized allograft. The postoperative average MSTS score of the patients was 27, and there were no recurrence. Conclusion Hu-Chen Giant Cell Tumor Scale established based on digital techniques includes lots of factors which determined surgical strategy. The grating system is an effectively, reliable method in treatment of GCT.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationships of hemoglobin(Hb)level with the levels of neurohormones,and cytokines,and the effect of them on ventricular remodeling in patients with congestive heart failure(CHF). Methods Hb level,serum angiotensinⅡ(Ang Ⅱ ),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),nitric oxide(NO),soluble intereellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1)and B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP)were measured in 121 CHF patients.The left ventrieular ejection fraction (LVEF)from echocardiography,left ventricular mass index(LVMI),and mean wall stress(MWS)were calculated. Results The levels of Ang Ⅱ,TNF-α,NO,siCAM-1,BNP[(144.5±64.1)ng/L,(92.3±6.4)ng/L,(65.2±4.2)μmol/L,(253.6±26.0)μg/L,(1294.0±223.0)ng/L]and LVMI,MWS in the anemia group of CHF patients were higher than those in the non-anemia group[(76.7±48.5)ng/L,(55.6±10.2)ng/L,(42.1±11.9)μmol/L,(237.18±33.26)μg/L,(437.0±115.0)ng/L,all P＜0.01].With the increase of anemia severity,the levels of AngⅡ,TNF-α,NO,siCAM-1,BNP and LVMI,MWS were significantly increased.There were negative correlations between Hb level and the 1evels of AngⅡ,TNF-α,NO,siCAM-1,BNP,LVMI,MWS(r=-0.8173,-0.8509,-0.6001,-0.6692,-0.6283,-0.8604,-0.8733,all P＜0.01),and negative correlations between LVMI,MWS and Hb levels and LVEF(P＜0.01). Conclusions Neurohormones and cytokines play roles in ventrieular remodeling and anemia in CHF aggravates the severity of ventricular remodeling.

ABSTRACT
Objective TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL)was a new member of TNF family.It could quickly inactivate tumor cell originated from different tissues but no effects on normal tissue in vitro.Osteosarcoma was the most common primary malignant bone tumor with the survival rate of 5years no more than20%after simple surgical management.The induced apoptosis and selective cytotoxicity of human soluble TRAIL for MG -63cell line were investigated in order to explore the feasibility of sTRAIL in clinical treatment of osteosarcoma.Methods sTRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity by MTT assay in MG-63osteosarcoma cell line,MRC-5human diploid lung cell line and L-02fetus hepar cell line were assessed,apoptotic cellular morphological transformation by phase contrast microscope and electron micro-scope was observed.The expression of TRAIL receptors mRNA in the cell lines was examined by RT -PCR.The apoptotic rates of MG-63cell line were shown by flow cytometry.Moreover,the apoptosis of MG-63cell line induced by sTRAIL was confirmed by terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling(TUNEL).Results MG-63,MRC-5and L-02cell lines were treated for 24hours with dif ferent concentrations of sTRAIL and the inhibitive rates of sTRAIL were evaluated with MTT assay,the in hibitive rates of 500ng /ml,1?g /ml ,2?g /ml and5?g /ml TRAIL inducing MG-63osteosarcoma cell line were10.1%,24.3%,50.6%and more than95%respectively.By flow cytometry,an obvious apoptosis peak ahead the diploid peak was obtained when MG-63cell line incubating with2?g/ml TRAIL for 6hours,howev er,the consequences of MRC-5and L-02cell line were non-differentiated.Therefore,MG-63cell line was significantly sensitive to sTRAIL-mediated apoptosis,but MRC-5and L-02cell line were resistant to sTRAIL-induced cell death.Under phase contrast microscope,when MG-63cell line were treated by sTRAIL,some cells began to became small and round in3to8hours.In24hours a large number of cells exfoliated and drifted in culture medium.Moreover,karyopyknosis and crescent aggregation of chro-matin were observed by electron microscope.By RT-PCR,the expression of TRAIL-R1,R2and R3but not R4mRNA on MG -63and MRC -5cell line were observed,and there were the expression of TRAIL-R1,R2,R3and R4mRNA on L-02cell line.In TUNEL assay,the nucleus of the apoptotic cells became brown or yellow.Conclusion TRAIL is able quickly to kill MG-63osteosarcoma cell line in vit-ro.Fur thermore,TRAIL is non significant cy-totoxic for normal tissue.TRAIL or TRAIL com bined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy is a potential and valuable proposal for clinical treatment of osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT
Chromosomal abnormalities are higher in twin gestations than in the singleton population. Turner's syndrome(gonadal dysgenesis) variety may result from chromosome loss during gametogenesis in either parent or a mitotic error during one of the early cleavage divisions of the fertilized zygote. The vast majority of 45, XO conceptions result in first or second-trimester miscarriage. Fetuses with Tumer's syndrome commonly exhibit posterior nuchal cystic hygromas and generalized edema. Recently we experienced one fetal demise in twin pregnancy. The affected fetus was associated with Turner's syndrome which was diagnosed by amniocentesis and karyotyping. The fetus was associated with cystic hygroma which was antenatally diagnosed by ultrasonogram. The unaffected fetus had normal karyotype and was delivered through cesarean section without any abnormalities. we report this case with brief review of literatures.
