1.Tumor suppressive properties of maspin and its expression levels in tumors
Cancer Research and Clinic 2009;21(2):135-137
Maspin (mammary serine protease inhibitor) is a kind of serpin.Many studies have characterized it as a tumor suppressor based on its ability to inhibit tumor angiogenesis,increase adhesion between tumor cells and ECM,inhibit tumor cell invasion and distant metastasis and promote apoptosis.In recent years,some studies have found maspin expresses high in some cancers,such as in mammary cancer and prostate cancer,while in some other cancers,such as in pancreatic cancer,maspin expression level shows high.The expression levels and biological functions of maspin in different organs still need further study.

Objective To establish and analyze the morphological parameters of the oocysts of Cryptosporidium muris for defining their morphological change. Methods Oocysts were collected from KM mice(immunodepressed by dexamethasone for 10 days) and examined with modified acid-fast staining. Images of 1 190 oocysts were acquired by photograph system. The length, width, perimeter, area and equivalent diameter of the oocysts were obtained by computer digital image processing system and analyzed by SPSS software (Version 11.0). Result The average length of the oocysts was 5.93 ?m, ranging from 3.36 ?m to 8.51 ?m in 95% confidence interval of them. The average width was 4.96 ?m, ranging from 3.26 ?m to 6.66 ?m in 95% confidence interval of them. The average perimeter was 18.03 ?m and the average area was 16.08 ?m2.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the geographic distribution of air-borne allergens which caused allergic rhinitis in Urumqi, and offer guide for prevention and treatment of the patients with allergic rhinitis.
METHOD:
Skin prick tests were performed on 350 patients with allergic rhinitis by assay of Novo-helisen depot (NHD) fluid.
RESULT:
The total positive rate of inhaled allergens among 350 patients was 78.86%. The most frequent of allergen was chenopodium 78.86% (255 cases). The other frequent allergens were ragweed 36.86% (128 cases), artemisir 28% (98 cases), timothy 27.14% (95 cases), elm 5.71% (90 cases), willow 25.14% (88 cases), poplar 18.86% (66 cases), cockroach 18.86% (66 cases), dust-mite 14.86% (62 cases), flour mite 14.86% (52 cases), alternaria spp 2.86% (10 cases). Allergen were multiple in most AR patients. There was not statistically significant difference between the sexes. There was statistically significant difference between the tribes.
CONCLUSION
Chenopodium, ragweed and artemisir were the main allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis in Urumqi.

BACKGROUND:Animal models of osteoporosis play an important role in the research of the pathogenesis, occurrence and development of osteoporosis, as wel as in the clinical diagnosis, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE: To summarize and discuss the establishment and research ideas of osteoporosis models, explore the current situation and advance of osteoporosis models, compare the advantages and disadvantages of various methods, and provide evidence for clinical investigation. METHODS: A computer-based online search was conducted in SinoMed, VIP, Wanfang and PubMed databases by using the key words of “animal model, osteoporosis” from January 1969 to October 2015. The language was limited to both Chinese and English. Relevant articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The documents about the methods of osteoporosis model preparation, method improvement as wel as their advantage and disadvantage were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 576 articles were included. Among them, articles published earlier, duplicated, and similarly were excluded, and 53 articles were finaly included. Various animal models of osteoporosis may only focus on the certain causes, certain stage, some of the main symptoms and some pathophysiological changes of disease. Accordingly, appropriate modeling methods and experimental animals should be selected based on research objective. Rat undergoing castration is the most commonly used model in the modeling of osteoporosis. Among drug methods for constructing osteoporosis model, glucocorticoids is the most commonly used one. Disuse method and nutritional method have limitations, and always combined with castration and drug methods. The effects of gene transfer, gene mutation and brain-derived model deserve

Aim: To prepare novel aqueous polymer dispersions with high flexibility for sustained-release coating and investigate their properties. Methods: The aqueous polymer dispersions were synthesized by the emulsion polymerization. The physico-chemical properties and film-forming potential of the dispersions were investigated while the mechanical properties of the formed film and the drug release behavior when atenolol pellets were coated with the aqueous polymer dispersions were evaluated. Results: The prepared aqueous polymer dispersions (methyl methacrylate/ethyl acrylate, 1:2) were found to have proper physico-chemical properties, excellent film-forming capability and satisfying mechanical properties. It could form free film with high flexibility and low viscosity in low temperature even in absence of the plasticizer. Sustained release of atenolol pellets was achieved when the pellets were coated the polymer dispersions. 4-h and 8-h cumulative releases were more than 50% and 80%, respectively. There was no significant difference in release between pellets prior to and post compression of the coated pellets. Conclusion: The resulting aqueous polymer dispersions could be used as sustained-release coating material with high flexibility suitable for tableting.
