The monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) family, especially MCT1, plays an important role in tumor metabolism.MCT1 mediates a variety of monocarboxylic acids across the plasma membrane, and determines to take in or export lactic acid according to the metaboliuc state, thus maintaining the special tumor cells metabolism model.Considering the emerging evidence for the role of MCT1 in the tumor genesis, metabolism, invasion and metastasis, MCT1 is expected to be a new target for cancer therapy.

ObjectiveTo observe effect of estradiol on respiratory of ovariectomized rats.Methods30 adult female rats were randomly divided into ovariectomy group (group A), estradiol group (group B) and sham ovariectomy group (group C). Rats of group B were injected with 17-β estradiol (20μg/kg/d), that of group A and group C were injected only with normal saline (0.1ml/d). After 6 weeks, effect of estradiol on respiratory of ovariectomized rats was assessed with testing level of rats' serum estradiol and discharge frequency and integrated amplitude of phrenic nerve. ResultsThe level of serum estradiol of group A was significantly decreased compared with group B and group C (P<0.01). Discharge frequency and integrated amplitude of phrenic nerve of group A were decreased compared with group B and group C (P<0.05).ConclusionEstradiol can excite respiratory responses in ovariectomized rats.

Objective To study the optimum ultra-dry method and moisture at different storage time for Salvia miltiorrhiza seeds and find the principle of storability.Methods S.miltiorrhiza seeds were dried by silica gel at room temperature and by the oven at constant temperature 50 ℃ to obtain various moisture content before stored sealed at room temperature.The optimum ultra-dry method and the optimal moisture were evaluated by measuring the germination rate,germination tendency,and vigor index,etc.Soluble sugar and MDA content were measured to investigate the seed storability.Results Desiccation by silica gel was more proper than by oven;ultra-dry storage of seeds has obvious advantages at the early stage,but with the prolong of the storage time,the advantages decreased;The optimal moisture for S.miltiorrhiza seeds storage at room temperature is about 7.5%;Seed storability is closely related to soluble sugar content in the seeds.Conclusion S.miltiorrhiza seeds can be ultra-dry stored to preserve germplasm resources.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathogens in the early period after heart transplantation and analyze their drug-resistance.METHODS The pathogens in the early period after heart transplantation were identified and their drug-resistance was analyzed.RESULTS From all of the 121 pathogens,the rate of G-bacilli was 73.6%,the rate of G+ cocci was 17.4%and the rate of fungi was 9.1%;G-bacilli mainly consisted of Klebsiella pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Acinetobacter baumannii,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.G-bacilli showed higher sensitive rates to sulbactam/cefoperazone,cefepime,piperacillin/tazobactam and ceftazidime than to cefotaxime.All G-bacilli showed sensitive to imipenem except Pseudomonas aeruginosa.G+ cocci mainly consisted of negative coagulase Staphylococcus,Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus.Fungi mainly consisted of Candida,and they were sensitive to fluconazole,itraconazole and amphotericin B.CONCLUSIONS To observe the pathogens in the early period after heart transplantation and analyze their drug-resistance are important to control and prevent the infection efficiently for the heart transplantation recipients.

Objective To synthesize a novel polymer POMs-CS/nano-HAP and study its biocompatibility and safety.Methods The biocompatibility was evaluated through the experiments including acute systemic toxicity test,pyrogen,intracutaneous test.Results The crystals of POMs-CS/nano-HAP were equal on sizes, which average diameter was 20 nm and length was 100 nm.By comparing,the polymer were better than those reported,which were closer to the natural bone.The material had no toxicity,no irritation to skin.(Conclusion The) POMs-CS/nano-HAP artificial bone possesses excellent biocompatibility.

Objective To label rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) with superparamagnetic iron oxide in vitro, and to monitor the survivorship and location of the labeled BMSCs in rat models of traumatic brain injury (TBI) with high field MR. Methods BMSCs were cultivated in vitro, and were labeled with SPIO. TBI models were built in the left hemisphere of the rats with Feeney's method. Then SPIO-labeled BMSCs were grafted stereotactically into the region nearby the contusion site 24 h later. The rats underwent MR examination 1 day, 3 days, 1 week and 3 weeks after implantation. Results Brown iron particles could be demonstrated in the SPIO-labeled BMSCs under inverted phase contrast microscope. Numerous intracytoplastic iron particles were stained with Prussian blue, and diffused distribution of iron particles could be seen in the intracytoplasm under electron microscope. At implanted sites low signal intensity could be observed on every sequence of MR examination, among which T2~*WI and SWI were better than other sequences, and SWI was the best. Conclusion MR is sensitive of tracking the survivorship and location of the labeled BMSCs, and SWI is the most sensitive sequence to detect the labeled cells.

Objective To study the therapeutic value of endoscopy for secondary prophylaxis of esophagogastricvariceal bleeding(EGVB).Methods Records of 117 patients with EGVB who were treated with endoscopic ligation and/or histoacryl injection (n =55) and devascularization (n =62) from August 2006 to September 2014 were reviewed.Rebleeding rate,time of rebleeding,incidence of complication,cumulative survival rate,length of ward stay and mean total costs were compared between two groups.Indices were compared according to Child-Pugh.Results The rebleeding rate in the endoscopic group was higher than that in the surgical group[46.2％(24/52) VS 25.0％(15/60),P=0.019] during a mean follow-up of 32.5 months,especially in Child-Pugh B[60.0％(15/25) VS 22.2％(6/27),P=0.006].But the rebleeding time was similar between two groups(P＞0.05).The rate of complications in endoscopic group was lower than that in surgical group [20.0％ (11/55) VS 32.3％ (20/62),P =0.134].No significant difference in cumulative survival rate was observed between the groups (89.1％ VS 87.1％,P＞0.05).The length of ward stay[(14±9)d VS(23±8) d,P＜0.001] and mean total cost[(54 136.79± 44 836.32) yuan VS (73 601.86± 103 403.74)yuan,P＜0.05] in endoscopic group were significantly less than those in surgical group.Conclusion Therapeutic endoscopy is as effective as secondary prophylaxis of esophagogastric variceal bleeding.Endoscopic treatment leads to higher rebleeding rate,but is advantageous in similar rebleeding time,smaller injury,less complications,shorter length of ward stay and lower costs.
