Objective To explore the expression and significance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),tissue polypeptide specificity antigen (TPS) and tumor type M2 pyruvate kinase (TuM2-PK) before and after interventional therapy in lung cancer (LC).Methods Sixty cases of LC treated by interventional treatment in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2015 were analyzed.The levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK on preoperative 1 d,postoperative 1,3,7,14,28 d were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The change of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK levels in the patients with different treatment outcomes was observed.Contemporaneous 40 individuals undergoing healthy physical examination served as the healthy control group.Results The levels of VEGF,TPS,TuM2-PK on preoperative 1d,postoperative 3,7,14,28 d had statistical differences between the observation group and control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with pre-treatment,the levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK in partial remission patients were significantly improved,which in the patients with stable and progressive condition,the levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK were significantly increased (P<0.05).Conclusion The levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK are significantly elevated before and after interventional treatment in LC patients,moreover the worse the therapeutic efficacy,the higher the levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK,which can be used as the detection indexes of LC interventional treatment.

Objective To express and purify the human renin(REN)and mature renin(REN-340)in prokaryotic cells,and detect the concentration. Methods According to the human REN gene sequence(5972)registered in NCBI,REN and REN-340 gene fragments were artificially synthesized and cloned into vector p ET-28a(+)after E.coli codon optimization,and the recombinant expression plasmids 6 × His-REN-p ET and 6 × His-REN-340-p ET were constructed. The recombinant plasmids were transformed into competent E.coli BL21(DE3)and induced at different induction temperatures(20,25,30and 37 ℃)and different final concentrations(0. 1,0. 2,0. 4 and 0. 5 mmol/L)of IPTG. Recombinant REN and REN-340were induced under the optimal induction conditions,and the concentrations were detected by ELISA after nickel ion affinity chromatography with Ni-NTA. Results The recombinant expression plasmids 6 × His-REN-p ET and 6 × His-REN-340-p ET were constructed correctly as identified by restriction analysis and sequencing. The optimum induction temperature of recombinant REN and REN-340 was 37 ℃ and 20 ℃,and the best final concentration of IPTG was 0. 1 and 0. 2 mmol/L,respectively. The concentrations of purified recombinant REN and REN-340 were 9 148. 21 and 15 115. 31 m IU/m L,respectively. Conclusion The prepared recombinant REN and REN-340 proteins have high concentration with short production cycle,which are expected to be used as candidate quality control products and standard substances for external quality assessment(EQA).

Gene associated with retinoid-IFN-induced mortality-19(GRIM-19)is originally isolated as a growth suppressive gene using a genetic screen.GRIM-19, initially found in nucleus and mitochondria, is essential for the assembly and functioning of mitochondrial complex I.GRIM-19 involves the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, and low expression or mutation of GRIM-19 contributes to abnormal proliferation.During viral oncogenesis, GRIM-19 may be a general target protein similar to other cellular tumor suppressors.GRIM-19 plays an important role in tumor formation and apoptosis inhibition, and may be as a new tumor marker to early cancer screening.

A magnitude of 8.0 earthquake struck on Wenchuan on May 12, 2008. Until July 1, 1393 injured persons had been admitted to Deyang People's Hospital. Of all injured persons, 32 were diagnosed with abdominal injury, including 18 men and 14 women. All the abdominal injuries were closed injury, and multiple abdominal viscera were involved in the abdominal injuries after the earthquake. Careful examination is crucial in preventing missed diagnosis. The incidences of the liver and spleen injuries were significantly higher than that of the intestine, and the reason may be that the liver and spleen are the parenchymal viscera. Diagnostic abdominocentesis can timely diagnose the parenchymal viscera with severe blood loss. Diagnostic peritoneal lavage combined with selective CT scan can timely diagnose the abdominal injuries with comparatively low cost.

Cushing's syndrome is caused by the excessive secretion of cortisol from the adrenal cortex.Hypertension is one of the most distinguishing features of Cushing's syndrome,as it is present in about 80% of adult patients.The various pathogenetic mechanisms that have been proposed for the development of cortisol-induced hypertension in Cushing's syndrome and its management are discussed.

Toll-like-receptors(TLRs) have been found to play a critical role in immune response of hosts.They can trigger innate immune responses by detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns(PAMPs).This paper reviews the roles of several toll-like receptors(TLR4,TLR5,and TLR9) in radioprotection and the related mechanisms,so as to provide theoretical evidences for further studying their roles in radioprotection.

Objective To explore the application of RNA interference(RNAi) in colorectal cancer gene therapy.Methods The related literatures in recent years were reviewed.Results RNAi causes a high effective and distinctive degradation of mRNA homologous in sequence to the dsRNA.This new technology has been successfully applied to research the genesis and the growth of colorectal cancer.Conclusion RNAi has been a new focus in gene therapy for colorectal cancer.

Cultivating innovative talents is a systemic project,which is influenced by educational ecosystem.The comparison with educational ecosystems of developed countries shows that there are lots of factors affect the cultivating innovative talents in China including the internal factors of education system as well as family and social factors.

The surgical intervention and criteria of severe acute pancreatitis has significantly changed in the last several years with the advent of enhanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive surgery.Many kinds of minimally invasive technologies which take laparoscopy as a representative are constantly applied to the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis and make its mortality and postoperative complication rate decrease obviously.However,there are many different ways using laparoscopic techniques to treat severe acute pancreatitis.In this review,the author will discuss the current status of the different approaches.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To explore the effects of transcription factor HOXB7 silencing on the viability , invasion and migration of SGC-7901 cells.METHODS:The siRNA was designed to specifically interfere the expression of HOXB7.To assess the silence efficiency of the siRNA , the expression of HOXB7 at mRNA and protein levels was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot in the SGC-7901 cells transfected with siRNA .The cell viability was measured by MTT assay .Cell cycle-related proteins such as cyclin D 1 and CDK4 were determined by Western blot .Transwell assay was performed to an-alyze the migration ability of the SGC-7901 cells.The mRNA and protein levels of the tumor invasion-and metastasis-relat-ed molecules, such as VEGF, PTEN and p-AKT, were also detected by real-time PCR and Western blot .RESULTS:The expression of HOXB7 at mRNA and protein levels was higher in the gastric carcinoma tissues than that in the normal gastric tissues.The expression of HOXB7 at mRNA and protein levels was knockdown by siRNA .After silencing of HOXB7 gene expression, the viability of the SGC-7901 cells decreased, the expression of cyclin D1, CDK4 and VEGF was down-regula-ted, and the phosphorylation level of AKT was also obviously decreased .CONCLUSION:HOXB7 effectively promotes the viability, invasion and migration of gastric carcinoma cells by up-regulating the expression of cyclinD 1, CDK4 and VEGF, and increasing the phosphorylation level of AKT to inhibit PTEN function .
