AIM:To investigate the effects of fucoidan on the angiogenesis of multiple myeloma cells in vitro, and its related mechanisms .METHODS:The human multiple myeloma RPMI 8226 cells and human endothelial cells were cultured in vitro.The growth inhibition rate of RPMI 8226 cells was examined by MTT assay .The cell cycle and apoptosis rate were measured by flow cytometry .RPMI 8226 cells were treated with fucoidan for 72 h, and the cell culture superna-tant was collected .The VEGF concentration was examined by ELISA , and the tube formation assay was applied to assess the angiogenic activity .After treatment with fucoidan for 72 h at different concentrations , the protein levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 were detected by Western blot .RESULTS: Fucoidan inhibited the growth of RPMI 8226 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner .After treatment with fucoidan for 72 h, the cell cycle was arrested at G 1 phase , and the apoptotic rate of RPMI 8226 cells was increased with the increasing concentration of fucoidan , which was much higher than that in control group (P<0.05).The VEGF concentration was significantly decreased with the increa-sing concentration of fucoidan .The numbers and areas of the capillary-like structures decreased while the concentration of fucoidan increased, and those at 100 mg/L were less than those in the control (P<0.05).The protein levels of HIF-1α, VEGF, p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 in fucoidan group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05).CON-CLUSION:Fucoidan inhibits the secretion of VEGF in multiple myeloma cells , and reduces angiogenesis induced by mul-tiple myeloma cells .It inhibits the protein expression of HIF-1αand VEGF , which may be related to inhibiting the phos-phorylation of AKT and ERK1/2.

Objective To investigate the effects of dibutylphthalate (DBP) on the proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 leukemic cells and to study its mechanism to purge leukemic cells.Methods The effects of DBP on proliferation of HL-60 leukemic cells were measured by cell culture method. The effects on apoptosis were measured by the percentage of the apoptotic cells in morphology and of the DNA fragmentation and by DNA gel electrophoresis. The intracellular free Ca~(2+) concentration ([Ca~(2+)]i) of leukemic cells were measured by Fura-2AM method. The protein expressions of c-myc and bcl-2 genes of leukemic cells were measured by immunohistochemical assay.Results DBP could suppress the proliferation of HL-60 leukemic cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner and induce them to die via apoptosis.It could elicit a intracellular Ca~(2+) redistribution and a potent extracellular calcium influx. It also down-regulated the protein expressions of c-myc and bcl-2 genes of HL-60 leukemic cells.Conclusion DBP can purge (HL-60) leukemic cells in vitro by increasing [Ca~(2+)]i of cells to initiate apoptosis and down-regulating bcl-2 and c-myc proto-gene expressions to promote cell apoptosis.

Objective Investigate the different changes of host cellular immunity in patients with different infection by compa-ring peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets.Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect the peripheral blood lymphocyte subset a-mong 96 patients including 31 bacterial infection cases,13 fungal infection cases and 62 virus infection cases.Results Compared with control group the ratio of CD3 + T cell was increased in virus group,and the ratio of CD4 + T was decreased in fungi and virus group and the fungus is lower than the virus group,while the ratio of CD8 + T cell was increased in the two groups,and fungi group is higher than the virus,CD4 +/CD8 + ratio in the two groups were reduced.Three groups of NK cells (of CD16 + CD56 + )ratio was reduced to some extent,and bacteria group was lower than that of other two groups.The ratio of B cell was increased in Bacteria group and it was more obvious in the G+ bacteria.NK cells in G+ bacteria and G- bacteria group were relatively lower than control group,but the difference between the two groups was not significance.In virus infection cases,the ratio of CD3 + T in HBV group was higher than that of dengue fever group.And the ratio of CD3 + and NK cells were increased in the two groups.The ratio of CD4 + was decreased in dengue fever group.Conclusion Detection of lymphocyte subset can objectively reflect and help to under-stand the state of the immune function of patients with infectious diseases,providing laboratory basis for the diagnosis and preven-tion in order to reduce the infectious risk and side effect.

Glioblastoma is a malignant tumor in central nervous system, which has strong invasion, poor prognosis and short survival time. At present, the main treatment strategy of glioblastoma is surgical excision, supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, due to incomplete resection and high recurrence rate, it is urgent to find novel therapeutic method for glioblastoma. Photodynamic therapy, as a promising non-surgical treatment, provides a new strategy for postoperative adjuvant therapy of glioblastoma. This review summarizes the mechanism and clinical application of photodynamic therapy mediated by various photosensitizers in glioblastoma, in order to provide help for the treatment of glioblastoma.

In order to make students have integrative qualities and reform the shortage of former teaching methods in the food microbiology experiment,a new experiment teaching system was established,introducina the integrative and innovative experiment to the students gradually.The reformation of experiment in food microbiology has trained the students well and improved their special skills.Most important of all,it can offer them a chance to realize their own ideas.The students can design an innovative and integrative experiment to carry out their originalities.Good effects have been made since this system is very helpful to improve their consciousness of innovation and integrative abilities in doing experiments.

Flavonoids are a class of important active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, pharmacological activity and in vivo process is the focus of research in recent years. Calycosin is the main active ingredients of flavonoids in Astragali Radix, recent studies indicate that it has many kinds of pharmacological activity, but the absorption and transport characteristics in vivo is unclear. The experiment using Caco-2 cell model, with apigenin as internal standard substance, using the method for the determination of drug concentration by HPLC, were studied at different concentrations and absorption transport characteristics of respectively adding different types of protein inhibitors. Data were analyzed by Q test, the results show that low, middle, high concentration of P(app)(BL-AP)/ P(app)(AP-BL) = 1.38 < 1.5, respectively adding different types of protein inhibitors, compared with the control group of P(app)(BL-AP)/ P(app)(AP-BL), there were no significant differences. Calycosin absorption may mainly passive transport, also involved in active transport mechanism, the transport may not be affected by the P-protein, MRP2 protein, SGLT protein.

In order to evaluate the ability of human standing balance scientifically, we in this study proposed a new evaluation method based on the chaos nonlinear analysis theory. In this method, a sinusoidal acceleration stimulus in forward/backward direction was forced under the subjects' feet, which was supplied by a motion platform. In addition, three acceleration sensors, which were fixed to the shoulder, hip and knee of each subject, were applied to capture the balance adjustment dynamic data. Through reconstructing the system phase space, we calculated the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) of the dynamic data of subjects' different segments, then used the sum of the squares of the difference between each LLE (SSDLLE) as the balance capabilities evaluation index. Finally, 20 subjects' indexes were calculated, and compared with evaluation results of existing methods. The results showed that the SSDLLE were more in line with the subjects' performance during the experiment, and it could measure the body's balance ability to some extent. Moreover, the results also illustrated that balance level was determined by the coordinate ability of various joints, and there might be more balance control strategy in the process of maintaining balance.
