1.Role of protein kinase C in cell apoptosis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(07):-
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a serine/threonine kinase, which plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The activation of PKC has closely correlation to tumorigenesis, development and metastasis. Activation of PKC is one of key link in the cell signal transduction passway, which mediated cellular signals, participated expression of genes, and influenced cell cycles. Therefore, delivering drugs based on anti-cell information may provide a broaden prospect for anti-tumor therapy.

Using LabVIEW programming and high-speed multifunction data acquisition card PCI-6251, we designed an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal generator based on Chinese typical ECG database. When the ECG signals are given off by the generator, the generator can also display the ECG information annotations at the same time, including waveform data and diagnostic results. It could be a useful assisting tool of ECG automatic diagnose instruments.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the curative effect and safety of dexamethasone for severe asthma and severe sepsis systematically. METHODS:Randomized controlled trials about dexamethasone for severe asthma and severe sepsis were retrieved from database,such as Cochrane library(1996~2007),PubMed(1966~2007),EMCC(1995~2007),CHKD(1994~2007)and pertinent literatures. The qualities of included studies were evaluated and extracted data were analyzed by Meta-analysis respectively. RESULTS:11 trials containing 1 435 cases were up to included standard. Therapy results of severe asthma:(1)in remission rate of the total symptom,difference between dexamethasone and prednisone was not statistically significant [OR 1.44,95%CI(0.75, 2.75);P=0.27];(2)In the incidence rate of ADR,dexamethasone was lower than prednisone [OR 0.13,95%CI(0.04,0.44);P= 0.001];(3)In the recurrence rate,no statistical significance was noted in difference between dexamethasone and prednisone [OR 0.58,95%CI(0.25,1.31);P=0.19]. Therapy results of severe sepsis:(1)In the mortality,difference between dexamethasone and placebo was not statistically significant [OR 0.85,95%CI(0.41,1.78);P=0.67];(2)In the incidence rate of ADR,no statistical significance was noted in difference between hydrocortisone and placebo [OR 1.05,95%CI(0.51,2.19);P=0.89]. CONCLUSION: Dexamethasone is similar to prednisone in the treatment of severe asthma but better than prednisone in drug safety. The safety of dexamethasone is similar to placebo in the treatment of severe sepsis.

Objective To quantifiably measure the methylation frequency of 18 CpG sites in the 3′region of L1 gene and long control region(LCR) gene of HPVl6 DNA,and study the relationship between HPVl6 DNA methylation and severity of cervical lesions. Methods A total of 10 cases Normal/low?grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(Normal/LSIL),10 cases of high?grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL),and 10 cases of cervical cancer(CC)were recruited for the study. The relationship between severity of cervical lesions and HPV16 DNA methylation was analyzed by bisultlte?pyrosequencing. Results The methylation rate was highest in Normal/LSIL at position 7 089 located in 3′?L1,followed by CC. The low?est was found in HSIL. The difference in methylation percentage among the three lesions was significant(P=0.006). In 7 134,the proportion meth?ylation was also different among three groups(P=0.01),difference in methylation percentage between Normal/LSIL and CC,as well as Normal/LSIL and HSIL was significant(P=0.038,0.017). Conclusion The methylation status of CpG sites 7 089 and 7 134 in the 3′region of L1gene is asso?ciated with the severity of cervical disease. The quantification of HPV DNA methylation can be used for cervical disease screening in clinical samples.

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC)and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)after percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The level of VEGF before and after PCI in 50 cases with AMI were determined by fluorescence immunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA),and the ratio of EPC in flood was checked by flow cytometry.Results The level of EPC was higher after PCI than before PCI [(4.15 ± 0.22)% vs.(0.59 ±0.02) %,P<0.01],and there were positive correlations between EPC and number of coronary artery disease (r=0.45,P < 0.05 ),coronary artery lesions ( r =0.76,P < 0.01 ),left ventricular enddiastolic diameter (r=0.68,P<0.01),ejection fraction (r=0.75,P<0.01).The VEGF levels after PCI was increased [(506± 120)μg/L vs.(204±98)μg/L,P<0.01],and its level was positively related with coronary lesions (r=0.66,P<0.01),left ventricular ejection fraction(r=0.90,P<0.01).There was association between rising rates of EPC and VEGF in a short time after PCI within 24 h period (r=0.56,P<0.01). Conclusions The clinical efficacy and prognosis can be assessed by the changes of VEGF level and EPC ratio before and after PCI operation in AM1 patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of SOX4 and C/EBPα mRNA in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and their clinical significances. Methods Bone marrow samples from 68 cases of CML including 57 newly diagnosed patients and 11 patients treated with imatinib were collected, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 30 healthy people were collected as healthy control. The expression of SOX4 and C/EBPαmRNA and protein levels were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The relations between the expression of SOX4 and C/EBPα and the influences of imatinib on SOX4 and C/EBPα were analyzed. Results The expression level of SOX4 mRNA was increased in newly diagnosed CML patients compared with that of normal control group (6.545 5±1.495 2 vs. 0.059 6±0.018 8, t=3.139, P=0.002 3), but the expression level of C/EBPαmRNA was significantly decreased (0.238 8±0.033 8 vs. 0.810 5±0.056 2, t=9.240, P<0.000 1). The expression levels of SOX4 and C/EBPαmRNA had no significant correlation with age, gender, white blood cell count (WBC) and bcr-abl of newly diagnosed patients (all P>0.05). The expression level of SOX4 mRNA in 5 patients treated with imatinib was decreased (0.120 6 ±0.044 9 vs. 0.557 9±0.144 8, t=2.885, P=0.020 4), and the expression level of C/EBPαmRNA was increased (0.330 3±0.042 4 vs. 0.150 5±0.046 5, t=2.855, P=0.021 3). The expression level of SOX4 mRNA in 6 patients who developed blast phase during the treatment of imatinib was increased (0.469 9±0.123 0 vs. 0.050 2±0.036 6, t=2.370, P=0.039 3), and the expression level of C/EBPα mRNA was decreased (0.197 9 ±0.064 7 vs. 0.378 7±0.042 9, t=2.327, P=0.042 3). The expression of SOX4 mRNA was negatively correlated with C/EBPα mRNA (t=-0.554 6, P=0.002 8). Conclusions In newly diagnosed CML, the expression level of SOX4 is increased, C/EBPα is decreased compared with that of healthy control, and both have negative correlation. In the patients in blast phase after imatinib treatment, SOX4 gene is up-regulated, and C/EBPα is down-regulated. C/EBPα-SOX4 axis may play a role in the occurrence and development of CML. SOX4 may be a new molecular target for the treatment of CML.
