The design and application of an individualized 3D printing assisted guide plates in assisting sacroiliac screws insertion.

Objective: Currently, the sacroiliac screws insertion still faces several challenges in the fixation of pelvic and acetabular injuries. This study was aimed to design a personalized three-dimensional (3D) printing assisted guide plates to assist sacroiliac screws insertion, so as to provide a reference for further clinical applications.

Methods: Eight pelvic specimens (5 males and 3 females) of normal adults were used to simulate actual operation.

Combination of low-dose cisplatin and recombinant xenogeneic endoglin as a vaccine induces synergistic antitumor activities.

Angiogenesis is critical to the growth and metastasis of solid tumors, and acquired drug resistance is one of the major hindrances to chemotherapy. Thus, we sought a rational strategy using the combination of antiangiogenic biotherapy and chemotherapy for cancer therapy. We explored the efficacy of a strategy combining low-dose cisplatin and a recombinant xenogeneic endoglin as a protein vaccine, which we previously demonstrated to have effective antiangiogenic effects in several mouse models.

Induction of apoptosis and tumor regression by vesicular stomatitis virus in the presence of gemcitabine in lung cancer.

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) has been shown to replicate rapidly in vitro and kill selectively a variety of tumor cell lines. The present study was designed to determine whether gemcitabine potentiates the antitumor activity of VSV in vitro and in vivo. A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and LLC Lewis lung carcinoma cells were treated with VSV (0.

[Construction of pcDNA-BLC and expression of BLC in tumor cells].

Objective: To establish a stable transformants of B-lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC) with the eukaryotic expression vector for investigation of its anti-tumor function further.

Methods: The BLC full-length cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR from the total RNA isolated from the spleen of mouse. After sequence determination, the BLC full-length cDNA was cloned into the eukaryote expression vector pcDNA3.

[Experimental studies on anti-tumor effects of BLC-modified tumor cell vaccine combined with cisplatin].

Background & Objective: Chemokines are small molecule proteins that are the main mediators of cell migration. Studies indicated that chemokines could induce antitumor immune response strongly and steadily. At present, there was not antitumor therapy about chemokine BLC combined with chemotherapy.
