Interstitial collagenase (MMP-1), 72 kDa gelatinase A/type IV collagenase (MMP-2), and 92 kDa gelatinase B/type IV collagenase (MMP-9) dissolve extracellular matrix (ECM) and may initiate and Promote angiogenesis. TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, and possibly,TIMP-4 inhibit neovascularisation. A new paradigm is emerging that matrilysin (MMP-7), MMP-9, and metalloelastase (MMP-12) may block angiogehesis by converting plasndnogen to angiostatin, which is one of the most potent angiogenesis antagonists. MMPs and TIMPs play a complex role in regulating angiogenesis. An understanding of the biochemical and cellular pathways and mechanisms of angiogenesis will provide importal information to allow the control of angiogenesis, e.g. the stimulation of angiogenesis for coronary collateral circulation formation; while the inhibition for treating arthritis and cancer.展开更多

Now the term "Ecotourism" is almost applied to all tourism activities which are based on nature. Faced to the flooding of those unqualified Ecotourism, it is of great necessity to put forward professional claim. The present writer holds that the key to the realization of rigorous Ecotourism chiefly lies in the relationships among the different interest groups involved in it. So the focus of this paper is just on giving a special analysis to the interest relations between those stakeholders which include local government, tour-operators, local residents and eco-tourists, and thus helping to find out what wrong is in those unqualified Ecotourism and the roots of those problems.展开更多

So far its function during the angiogenesis process of bone formation and arthropathy has not been well studied yet. The present study addresses the function of endostatin in rabbit articular chondrocytes (RAC). We found that endostatin can promote RAC adhesion and spreading as well as its proliferation. In monolayer cultured RAC, CollagenII, TIMP1 and collagenXVIII transcription were up regulated by endostatin while collagenI and MMP9 were down regulated. Moreover collagenXVIII and endostatin antigens are present at synovial fluid. These findings indicate new function of endostatin as a homeostatic factor in cartilage metabolism.展开更多

METHODS： The expressions of CD44v6, VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by immunohistochemical method in 20 cases of normal ovarian tissues, 38 cases of Krukenberg tumor and 45 cases of primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma. RESULTS： The expression of CD44v6 （primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma tissue vs normal ovarian tissue： χ^2= 4.516, P= 0.034; Krukenberg tumor tissue vsnormal ovarian tissue： χ^2 = 19.537, P = 0.001） and VEGF （primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma tissue vs normal ovarian tissue： P = 0.026; Krukenberg tumor tissue vs normal ovarian tissue： χ^2 = 22.895, P = 0.001） was significantly higher in primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma tissue and Krukenberg tumor tissue than in normal ovarian tissue. The positive expression rate of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was 0% in the normal ovarian tissue. The positive expression rate of CD44v6 （ χ^2= 10.398, P= 0.001）, VEGF （ χ^2= 13.149, P = 0.001）, MMP-2 （ χ^2 = 33.668, P = 0.001） and MMP-9 （ χ^2= 38.839, P = 0.001） was remarkably higher in Krukenberg tumor than in primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma. The correlation of CD44v6, VEGF, MMP-2, and MMP-9 was observed in primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma and Krukenberg tumor. CONCLUSION： CD44v6, VEGF, MMP-2, and MMP-9 are involved in ovarian carcinoma, gastric cancer and Krukenberg tumor. Detection of CD44v6, VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 may contribute to the diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma, gastric cancer, and Krukenberg tumor.展开更多

Methods： Expression of CD105, MMP-9 and CD15s in 47 cases of gastric carcinoma undergone radical surgery were evaluated by SP immunohistochemical staining using the respective monoclonal antibody. The microvessel density （MVD） marked with CD105 was detected. Correlation between MVD and MMP-9, CD15s was also statistically analyzed. Results： The MVD in both MMP-9 and CD15s positive expression group was higher significantly than that in MMP-9 or CD15s positive expression alone group, and it was also significantly higher than that in both MMP-9 and CD15s negative expression group. Conclusion： MMP-9 is a marker of invasion and CD15s is a marker of metastasis in gastric carcinoma. Combining detection of MMP-9 and CD15s has certain clinical significance for diagnosis, treatment and assessing the prognosis for gastric caner.展开更多

The dense P4VP layer was further stabilized by the crosslinking using 1,4-dibromobutane as the crosslinker. Then, the crosslinked hybrid nanotubes （CHNTs） were used as a novel nano supporter for loading the catalyst gold nanoparticles （GNPs） within the crosslinked P4VP layer. The resultant GNPs/CHNTs （GNTs loaded on CHNTs） were applied to catalyze the reduction reaction of p-nitrophenol. The results indicate that this novel nano supporter has advantages such as good dispersity in the suspension, high capacity in loading GNPs （0.87 mmol/g）, high catalytic activity of the loaded GNPs （12.9 μmol-lmin-i）, and good reusability of GNTs/CHNTs.展开更多

Based on the previous research, we developed a theoretical approach of modeling the core factors which influence the operational competitiveness performance （i.e., manufacturing strategy and transformational leadership with technology level）, into conceptual analytical models to evaluate overall competitiveness. The empirical studies are focused on manufacturing companies in China, Finland, Slovakia, Iceland, and Spain. The case companies are evaluated with the proposed analytical models and their performances are compared in global context to conclude the experience of crisis management.展开更多

For better understanding of this problem, we targeted this study at the effects of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the invasive ability of ovarian carcinoma cell line and the possible mechanism within it. To study the effects of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on carcinoma cell, SKOV3 cells were divided into 2 groups, respectively exposed to pneumoperitoneal CO2-insuffiation and normal conditions. To study the possible mechanism, SKOV3 cells were divided into 3 groups, one was exposed to CO2 pneumoperitoneum, one to N2 and the other to normal conditions served as control. The in vitro adhesive and invasive ability of the cells was analyzed through 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide （MTT） assay and Boyden filters metastasis model; the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor C （VEGF-C） and matrix metalloproteinase 9 （MMP9） were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction（RT-PCR）, and Western blot. We found that the adhesive ratio of SKOV3 cells exposed to CO2 was significantly higher than that of the control group; cells exposed to CO2 invaded the matrigel with a greater number （P〈0.01）; the expression of VEGF-C exposed to both CO2 and N2 was significantly increased compared with control group （P〈0.05）; the MMP9 expression level of CO2 group was higher than that of N2 group, P〈0.05. We concluded that carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum may improve the adhesive and invasive ability of ovarian carcinoma cell line in vitro and CO2 can also be an independent factor to stimulate the expression of MMP9.展开更多

Methods: MHCC97-H cells were treated with Octreotide at the concentration of 0.2 ug/mL in vitro, proliferation related to time was evaluated. After treated with Octreotide at the concentration of 0.2 ug/mL for 48 h, MHCC97-H cells were observed by transmission electron microscope. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay after MHCC97-H cells were treated with Octreotide at different concentrations including 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 ug/mL for 36 h in vitro. 27 nude mice, in which MHCC97-H tumor mass was planted orthotopically, were divided into 3 groups randomly including control group (intraperitoneal injection with equal volume normal saline; n=8), low dose treated group (intraperitoneal injection with Octreotide at 50 ug/kg?d; n=9) and large dose treated group (intraperitoneal injection with Octreotide at 200 ug/kg?d; n=10). All mice were raised for 35 d and sacrificed. The information about survival time, the weight at death point and the pathology change of liver and lung was collected. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) in mouse HCC tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry finally. Results: MTT assays showed that Octreotide inhibited the proliferation of MHCC97-H cells significantly. Apoptosis cells were found by transmission electron microscope after treatment with Octreotide at 0.2 ug/mL for 48 h in vitro. The proliferation was inhibited significantly by Octreotide in a dose-dependant manner (r=0.86, P<0.01). Compared with control group, the treated group had the heavier weight at death point and lower intrahepatic metastasis ratio (P<0.05), meanwhile, there was not significant difference in treated groups (P>0.05). The positive expression ratios of VEGF and MMP-2 in treated groups were lower than those in control group (P<0.05), while there was no apparent difference in treated groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Octreotide could inhibit the proliferation of MHCC97-H cells in vitro via inducing apoptosis and the inhibitory function acts in a dose-dependant manner. Octreotide could improve survival of mice with MHCC97-H cells and inhibit the metastasis of MHCC97-H cells in vivo. Regulation of VEGF and MMP-2 expression by Octreotide would be involved in its inhibition in vivo.展开更多
