Methods Immunohistochemistry SP method was used to detect the expression of GLUT1 and Ki-67 protein in epithelial ovarian tumor tissues from 119 patients diagnosed in our hospital from January 2000 to June 2008. Results The expressions of GLUT1 and Ki-67 had local or abroad higher expressions in the borderline and malignant epithelial ovarian tumor, and the expressive intensity was different. In benign tumors, the expression was negative. The expressive intensity of GLUT1 and Ki-67 had correlation with the grade, stage, and prognosis in malignant tumors. The expressive intensity of GLUT1 had no correlation with the type of malignant tumors, while Ki-67 related to the pathological types. Conclusion The expressions of GLUT1 and Ki-67 have relativity. The expressive intensity of GLUT1 and Ki-67 relates to the character and proliferation of epithelial ovarian tumors. The combined detection GLUT1 and Ki-67 is helpful to know the character of epithelial ovarian tumors, the malignant degree and biologic behavior of ovarian carcinoma, which is useful in estimating the character and prognosis of epithelial ovarian tumors.
ObjectiveTo investigate the growth characteristics of pancreatic cancer cells in the twodimensional culture system (monolayer) and threedimensional culture system (type Ⅰ collagen and extracellular matrix gel). MethodsThree pancreatic cancer cell lines (SW1990, PCT, and ASPC1) were cultured in monolayer, type Ⅰ collagen, and extracellular matrix gel, respectively. The growth patterns were observed, growth curves were detected by CCK8 test, and the cell cycle distributions were analyzed by propidium iodide staining. Results In the twodimensional culture system, cells grew in monolayer. In the type Ⅰ collagen and the ECM gel threedimensional culture system, cells formed multicellular spheroids (MCS), of which the growth rates were slower than those of the cells in monolayer. The proportions of S phase of SW1990, PCT, and ASPC1 cells in twodimensional culture system were significantly more than those in the type Ⅰ collagen on 4 d and 8 d 〔(29.6±3.0)% vs. (18.2±5.1)%, (33.6±2.1)% vs. (14.5±3.2)%, (33.1±1.8)% vs. (24.7±2.6)%; Plt;0.05〕, while the difference of proportion of three cell lines in G2/M phase was not different between twodimensional culture system and type Ⅰ collagen (Pgt;0.05). The proportions of G0/G1 phase of SW1990 and PCT cells cultured in the type Ⅰ collagen on 4 d and 8 d and ASPC1 cells cultured in the type Ⅰ collagen on 4 d were significant more than those cultured in twodimensional culture system (Plt;0.05). The proportions of S phase of ASPC1 cells and SW1990 cells cultured in the type Ⅰ collagen on 4 d were significant more than those cultured in the type Ⅰ collagen on 8 d (Plt;0.05). ConclusionsThe characteristics of pancreatic cancer cells in twodimensional and threedimensional culture systems are different. MCS culture system can better mimic the in vivo growth environment of cells in tumors.
Objective To investigate the effects of heat injured keratinocytes (KC) supernatant on the expressions of collagen type I, collagen type III, and matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) of dermal fibroblasts (Fb). Methods KC and Fb were isolated and cultured. Then the models of heat injured KC and Fb were reproduced in vitro, respectively. The heat injured and normal culture supernatant were collected respectively at 12 hours, and formulated as a 50% concentration of cell-conditioned medium. According to the culture medium, Fb at passage 3-5 was divided into 3 groups. Normal Fb was cultured with the conditioned medium containing 50% heat injured KC culture supernatant (group A), the conditioned medium containing 50% normal KC culture supernatant (group B), and DMEM (group C), respectively. The cells in 3 groups were collected at 24 hours. In addition， the cells in group A were collected at 0, 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours， respectively. Normal Fb was cultured with the conditioned medium containing 50% heat injured Fb culture supernatant. Then, the cells were collected at 0, 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours, respectively. The mRNA levels of the collagen type I, collagen type III, and MMP-1 of Fb were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR techniques. Results At 24 hours after cultured with supernatant of heat injured KC，mRNA relative expression levels of collagen type I, collagen type III, and MMP-1 in group A were significantly higher than those in groups B and C (P lt; 0.05). The mRNA relative expression levels of collagen type I, collagen type III, and MMP-1 in group A gradually increased with time going, showing significant differences between 0 hour and 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours (P lt; 0.05); significant differences were found between different time points after 2 hours (P lt; 0.05). After Fb was treated with supernatant of heat injured Fb, the mRNA relative expression levels of MMP-1 gradually decreased with time going, showing significant differences between 0 hour and 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, and 24 hours (P lt; 0.05); after 2 hours of culture, significant differences were found among different time points (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Heat injured KC supernatant may regulate the mRNA expressions of collagen type I, collagen type III, and MMP-1 of Fb.
Objective To investigate the effect of collagen type I concentration on the physical and chemical properties of the collagen hydrogel, and to analyze the effect of different concentrations of collagen type I hydrogel on the phenotype and gene expression of the chondrocytes in vitro. Methods Three kinds of collagen hydrogels with concentrations of 12, 8, and 6 mg/ mL (C12, C8, and C6) were prepared, respectively. The micro-structure, compressive modulus, and swelling ratio of the hydrogels were measured and analyzed. The chondrocytes at 2nd passage were cocultured with three kinds of collagen hydrogels in vitro, respectively. After 1-day culture, the samples were stained with fluorescein diacetate (FDA) / propidium iodide (PI) and the cell activity was observed under confocal laser microscope. After 14-day culture, HE staining and toluidine blue staining were carried out to observe the histological morphology, and mRNA expressions of chondrocytes related genes (collagen type II, Aggrecan, collagen type I, collagen type X, Sox9) were determined by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results With the increase of collagen type I concentration from 6 to 12 mg/mL, the physical and chemical properties of the collagen hydrogels changed significantly: the fiber network became dense; the swelling ratios of C6, C8, and C12 were 0.260 ± 0.055, 0.358 ± 0.072, and 0.539 ± 0.033 at 192 hours, respectively, showing significant differences among 3 groups (P lt; 0.05); and the compression modulus were (4.86 ± 0.96), (7.09 ± 2.33), and (11.08 ± 3.18) kPa, respectively, showing significant differences among 3 groups (P lt; 0.05). After stained with FDA/PI, most cells were stained green, and few were stained red. The histological observation results showed that the chondrocytes in C12 hydrogels aggregated obviously with b heterochromia, chondrocytes in C8 hydrogels aggregated partly with obvious heterochromia, and chondrcytes in C6 hydrogels uniformly distributed with weak heterochromia. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR results showed that the mRNA expressions of collagen type II and Aggrecan were at the same level in C12, C8, and C6; the expressions of collagen type I, Sox9, and collagen type X were up-regulated with the increase of collagen type I hydrogels concentration, and the expressions were the highest at 12 mg/mL and were the lowest at 6 mg/mL, showing significant differences among 3 groups (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Increasing the concentration of collagen hydrogels leads to better mechanical properties and higher shrink-resistance, but it may induce the up-regulation of cartilage fibrosis and hypertrophy related gene expression.
Objective Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can promote wound heal ing. To observe the effect of PRP injection on the early heal ing of rat’s Achilles tendon rupture so as to provide the experimental basis for cl inical practice. Methods Forty-six Sprague Dawley rats were included in this experiment, female or male and weighing 190-240 g. PRP and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) were prepared from the heart arterial blood of 10 rats; other 36 rats were made the models of Achilles tendon rupture, and were randomly divided into 3 groups (control group, PPP group, and PRP group), 12 rats for each group. In PPP and PRP groups, PPP and PRP of 100 μL were injected around the tendons once a week, respectively; in the control group, nothing was injected. The tendon tissue sample was harvested at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after operation for morphology, histology, and immunohistochemistry observations. The content of collagen type I fibers also was measured. Specimens of each group were obtained for biomechanical test at 4 weeks. Results All the animals survived till the end of the experiment. Tendon edema gradually decreased and sliding improved with time. The tendon adhesion increased steadily from 1 week to 3 weeks postoperatively, and it was relieved at 4 weeks in 3 groups. There was no significant ifference in the grading of tendon adhesion among 3 groups at 1 week and at 4 weeks (P gt; 0.05), respectively. The inflammatory cell infiltration, angiogenesis, and collagen fibers were more in PRP group than in PPP group and control group at 1 week; with time, inflammatory cell infiltration and angiogenesis gradually decreased. Positive staining of collagen type I fibers was observed at 1-4 weeks postoperatively in 3 groups. The positive density of collagen type I fibers in group PRP was significantly higher than that in control group and PPP group at 1, 2, and 3 weeks (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference was found among 3 groups at 4 weeks (P gt; 0.05). The biomechanical tests showed that there was no significant difference in the maximal gl iding excursion among 3 groups at 4 weeks postoperatively (P gt; 0.05); the elasticity modulus and the ultimate tensile strength of PRP group were significantly higher than those of control group and PPP group at 4 weeks (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion PRP injection can improve the healing of Achilles tendon in early repair of rat’s Achilles tendon rupture.

Methods Between January 2002 and January 2008, 24 patients with Pipkin type I fracture of the femoral head associated with posterior dislocation of the hip were treated with simple closed reduction (closed reduction group, n=8), with selective fragment excision after closed reduction (selective operation group, n=8), and with emergency fragment excision and reduction (emergency operation group, n=8). In the closed reduction group, there were 6 males and 2 females with an average age of 37.6 years (range, 19-56 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 6 cases, by fall ing from height in 1 case, and by crushing in 1 case with a mean disease duration of 3.1 hours (range, 1.0-7.5 hours); and the interval from injury to reduction was (4.00 ± 2.14) hours. In the selective operation group, there were 7 males and 1 female with an average age of 37.3 years (range, 21-59 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 7 cases and by fall ing from height in 1 case with a mean disease duration of 3.2 hours (range, 1.0-6.0 hours); and the interval from injury to reduction was (3.90 ± 1.47) hours. In the emergency operation group, there were 5 males and 3 females with an average age of 35.5 years (range, 20-58 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 5 cases, by fall ing from height in 1 case, and by crushing in 2 cases with a mean disease duration of 3.3 hours (range, 1.5-6.5 hours); and the interval from injury to open reduction was (5.10 ± 2.04) hours. There was no significant difference in the age, gender, disease duration, and interval from injury to reduction among 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results All wounds in selective operation group and emergency operation group healed primarily. All the patients were followed up 24 to 58 months (mean, 38.7 months). According to Thompson-Epstein system, the excellent and good rates were 50.0% (4/8) in the closed reduction group, 87.5% (7/8) in the selective operation group, and 87.5% (7/8) in the emergency operation group at 24 months after operation, showing significant difference among 3 groups (χ2=9.803, P=0.020). Heterotopic ossification was found in 1 case (12.5%) of the closed reduction group, in 4 cases (50.0%) of the selective operation group, and in 4 cases (50.0%) of the emergency operation group, and avascular necrosis of femoral head was found in 2 cases (25.0%) of the closed reduction group; there was no significant difference in compl ications among 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The treatment of Smith-Petersen approach and fragment excision by selective operation or emergency operation has similar outcome, which are better than the treatment of simple closed reduction.
Objective Col I A1 antisense oligodeoxyneucleotide (ASODN) has inhibitory effect on collagen synthesis in cultured human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts. To investigate the effects of intralesional injection of Col I A1 ASODN on collagen synthesis in human hypertrophic scar transplanted nude mouse model. Methods The animal model of humanhypertrophic scar transplantation was established in the 60 BALB/c-nunu nude mice (specific pathogen free grade, weighing about 20 g, and aged 6-8 weeks) by transplanting hypertrophic scar without epidermis donated by the patients into the interscapular subcutaneous region on the back, with 1 piece each mouse. Fifty-eight succeed models mice were randomly divided into 3 groups in accordance with the contents of injection. In group A (n=20): 5 μL Col I A1 ASODN (3 mmol/L), 3 μL l iposome, and 92 μL Opti-MEM I; in group B (n=20): 3 μL l iposome and 97 μL Opti-MEM I; in group C (n=18): only 100 μL Opti-MEM I. The injection was every day in the first 2 weeks and once every other day thereafter. The scar specimens were harvested at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after injection, respectively and the hardness of the scar tissue was measured. The collagens type I and III in the scar were observed under polarized l ight microscope after sirius red staining. The ultrastructures of the scar tissues were also observed under transmission electronic microscope (TEM). Additionally, the Col I A1 mRNAs expression was determined by RT-PCR and the concentrations of Col I A1 protein were measured with ELISA method. Results Seventeen mice died after intralesional injection. Totally 40 specimens out of 41 mice were suitable for nucleic acid and protein study, including 14 in group A, 13 in group B, and 14 in group C. The hardness of scars showed no significant difference (P gt; 0.05) among 3 groups at 2 weeks after injection, whereas the hardness of scars in group A was significantly lower than those in groups B and C at 4 and 6 weeks (P lt; 0.05), and there was no significant difference between groups B and C (P gt; 0.05). The collagen staining showed the increase of collagentype III in all groups, especially in group A with a regular arrangement of collagen type I fibers. TEM observation indicated that there was degeneration of fibroblasts and better organization of collagen fibers in group A, and the structures of collagen fibers in all groups became orderly with time. The relative expressions of Col I A1 mRNA and the concentrations of Col I A1 protein at 2 and 4 weeks after injection were significant difference among 3 groups (P lt; 0.05), and they were significantly lower in group A than in groups B and C (P lt; 0.05) at 6 weeks after injection, but no significant difference was found between groups B and C (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Intralesional injection of Col I A1 ASODN in the nude mice model with human hypertrophic scars can inhibit the expression of Col I A1 mRNA and collagen type I, which enhances the mature and softening of the scar tissue. In this process, l iposome shows some assistant effect.
To investigate the inhibitory effect of Col I A1 antisense ol igodeoxyneucleotide (ASODN) transfection mediated by cationic l iposome on Col I A1 expression in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts. Methods Scar tissue was obtained from volunteer donor. Human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were cultured by tissue block method.

At 8 hours, 1, 2, 3 and 4 days after transfection, total RNA of the cells were extracted, the expression level of Col I A1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, the Col I A1 protein in ECM was extracted by pepsin-digestion method, its concentration was detected by ELISA method. Results Agarose gel electrophoresis detection of ampl ified products showed clear bands without occurrence of indistinct band, obvious primer dimmer and tailing phenomenon. Relative expression level of Col I A1 mRNA: at 8 hours after transfection, group A was less than groups B, C and D (P lt; 0.05), and groups B and C were less than group D (P lt; 0.05), and no significant difference was evident between group B and group C (Pgt; 0.05); at 1 day after transfection, groups A and B were less than groups C and D (P lt; 0.05), and there was no significant difference between group A and group B, and between group C and group D (P gt; 0.05 ); at 2 days after transfection, there were significant differences among four groups (P lt; 0.05); at 3 and 4 days after transfection, group A was less than groups B, C and D (P lt; 0.05), group B was less than groups C and D (P lt; 0.05), and no significant difference was evident between group C and group D (P gt; 0.05). Concentration of Col I protein: at 8 hours after transfection, group A was less than groups B, C and D (P lt; 0.05), groups B and C were less than group D (P lt; 0.05), and no significant difference was evident between group B and group C (P gt; 0.05); at 1 day after transfection, significant differences were evident among four groups (P lt; 0.05); at 2, 3 and 4 days after tranfection, groups A and B were less than groups C and D (P lt; 0.05), and no significant difference was evident between group A and group B (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Col I A1 ASODN can inhibit mRNA and protein expression level of Col I A1. Cationic l iposome, as the carrier, can enhance the inhibition by facil itating the entry of ASODN into cells and introducing ASODN into cell nucleus.
【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the possibil ity of BMSCs seeded into collagen Ⅰ -glycosaminoglycan (CG)matrices to form the tissue engineered cartilage through chondrocyte inducing culture. Methods Bone marrow aspirate of dogs was cultured and expanded to the 3rd passage. BMSCs were harvested and seeded into the dehydrothemal treatment (DHT)cross-l inked CG matrices at 1×106 cells per 9 mm diameter sample. The samples were divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, chondrogenic differentiation was achieved by the induction media for 2 weeks. Medium was changed every other day in both experimental group and control group. The formation of cartilage was assessed by HE staining and collagen Ⅱ immunohistochemical staining. Results The examinations under the inverted phase contrast microscopeindicated the 2nd and 3nd passage BMSCs had the similar morphology. HE staining showed the BMSCs in the experimental group appeared polygon or irregular morphology in the CG matrices, while BMSCs in the control group appeared fibroblast-l ike spindle or round morphology in the CG matrices. Extracellular matrix could be found around cells in the experimental group. Two weeks after seeded, the cells grew in the CG matrices, and positive collagen Ⅱ staining appeared around the cells in the experimentalgroup. There was no positive collagen Ⅱ staining appeared in the control group. Conclusion It is demonstrated that BMSCs seeded CG matrices can be induced toward cartilage by induction media.
