Identification and Characterization of CD133(pos) Subpopulation Cells From a Human Laryngeal Cancer Cell Line.

Background: Recent research indicates that CD133 are expressed in several kinds of stem cells, among which, its high expression in laryngeal carcinoma has caused wide concern. To further explore efficaciously targeting drugs to laryngeal carcinoma stem cells (CSCs), we transplanted a solid tumor from CSCs into abdominal subcutaneous tissue of nude mice, and then compared the biological characteristics of laryngeal solid tumors with or without cisplatin intervention.

Material/methods: In this study, the expression of CD133 was detected in the Hep-2 cell line by flow cytometry.

Suppression of lymphangiogenesis in human lymphatic endothelial cells by simultaneously blocking VEGF-C and VEGF-D/VEGFR-3 with norcantharidin.

Lymph node metastasis of tumors is a crucial early step in the metastatic process. Tumor lymphangiogenesis plays an important role in promoting tumor metastasis to regional lymph nodes. Norcantharidin (NCTD) has been reported to possess potent anti-angiogenesis and antitumor properties in several cell lines and xenograft tumor models.

[Determination of Cd in sediment samples by flow injection on-line anion exchange combined with vapour generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry].

In the present work, a method was developed for the determination of ultra-trace levels of Cd in sediment samples by atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). A flow injection on-line separation and preconcentration technique coupled with an intermittent injection vapor generation technique was employed in the study. The instrument operating parameters and chemical conditions were optimized.

[Enrichment of triphenyltin in water samples by beta-cyclodextrin cross-linking polymer and determination by hydride-generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry].

A new method was proposed for the enrichment of triphenyltin in water samples by beta-cyclodextrin cross-linking polymer and the quantitative determination of tin in triphenyltin by hydride-generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The chemical conditions and instrumental conditions were investigated and optimized. The method is sensitive and precise.
