Objective To determine the taxonomic position of medically important gamasid mites and to compare numerical taxonomy with the traditional systematics in the classification of gamasid mites. Methods Based on hierarchical cluster analysis, numerical taxonomy was applied to study fifty-seven species of medically important gamasid mites. Results The results of cluster analysis based on squared euclidean distance showed that Hirstionyssus Fonseca and Echinonyssus Hirst should be separated from Laelapidae Berlese and formed an independent family. The taxonomic position of the remaining species remains the same as those in the traditional systematics. Conclusion Numerical taxonomy can objectively reflect the taxonomic position of the medically important gamasid mites. The result of classification by numerical taxonomy is consistent with traditional systematics for gamasid mites.

Objective To identify the significance of expression and phosphorylation of protein kinase R(PKR) and nuclear factor NF-κB p65 in cervical lesions, and the effect of high-risk human papilloma virus(hsHPV) on expression and phosphorylation of R(PKR) and NF-κB p65. Methods A total of 67 patients with cervical cancer, 149 patients with cervi-cal intraepithelial neoplasia (CINⅠ-Ⅲ) and 15 normal control were included in this study. The expression levels of PKR, phosphorylated PKR (p-PKR), NF-κB p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) were detected by immunohisto-chemical SP method in three groups. Results The positive expression rates of PKR and p-PKR in cytoplasm were signifi-cantly lower in hsHPV positive group than those in hsHPV negative group (27.2% and 11.0% vs 41.1% and 21.1%,χ2 =4.858 and 4.371,P＜0.05). The positive expression rates of NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 in cytoplasm and nucleus were significantly higher in hsHPV positive group than those in hsHPV negative group (46.3%, 25.7%, 22.8% and 12.5% vs 32.6%, 14.7%, 11.6%and 4.2%,χ2=4.345,4.048,4.729 and 4.650 respectively,P＜0.05). The positive expression rates of PKR in kytoplasm and karyon were significantly lower in NF-κB p65 (+) group than those in NF-κB p65 (-) group (25.5%vs 38.0%and 20.4%vs 36.3%,χ2=3.898 and 4.396 respectively, P＜0.05). The positive expression rate of PKR in kyto-plasm was significantly lower in p-NF-κB p65 (+) group than those in p-NF-κB p65 (-) group (19.0%vs 36.0%,χ2=4.462, P＜0.05). Conclusion hsHPV may inhibit the expression and phosphorylation of PKR but promote the expression and phosphorylation of NF-κB p65. The expression and phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 may inhibit the expression of PKR. Regu-lating effects of three may be associated with the generation and progression of cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the role of P21 protein and XIAP on apoptosis-inducing effect by mevastatin against A549 cell line and its mechanisms. Methods The cells proliferation was detected by MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis induction were evaluated with flow cytometer and electron microscopy. The mRNA expression of P21 and XIAP was measured with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.The protein expression of P21 and XIAP was tested with flow cytometer and Western Bolt respectively. Results Mevastatin inhibited A549 cell survival in a time-dependent and concentration-depended manner. Flow cytometry showed that mevastatin induced G0/G1 phase arrest and caused apoptosis. Mevastatin did not affect P21 expression at both mRNA and total protein level.Concomitantly,P21 protein localized on cellular membrane decreased.Both mRNA and protein expression in XIAP were down regulated by mevastatin. All these effects were reversed by mevalonate.Conclusion Mevastatin can inhibite proliferation,induce apoptosis and interfere with cell progression of A549 through mevalonate pathway. Its mechanisms are explained by decreasing the expression of XIAP mRNA and protern.Targeting HMG-CoA reductase,Mevastatin blocks the isoprenylation of P21 protein which affects its anchorage on the cellular membrane.

Objective To investigate the expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin in vessel walls of the patients with thromboangiitis obliterans(TAO).Methods The vessel tissues were taken from 18 cases of amputation operation due to TAO and 16 cases of amputation operation due to non-vascular diseases.The expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin were assessed by the immunohistochemical method.Results The positive expression rate of VCAM-1 in vessel wall of the patients with TAO was 77.8%(14/18),which of E-selectin was 72.2%(13/18);both of them were obviously higher than 6.3%(1/16) and 6.3%(1/16) in the control group.The positive rate of VCAM-1 and E-selectin had no correlation with the age,smoking amount,smoking time and drug use (P>0.05).Conclusion The expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin have close correlation with the occurrence and development of TAO.Detecting the expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin can serve as a diagnostic indicator of TAO.

Objective To investigate the inhibitive effects of biosynthesized short hairpin RNA(shRNA)on the duplication of Influenza A virus(IAV)in human bronchial epithelium(HBE)cells.Methods NP-shRNA and PA-shRNA targeting to the highly conservative sequences of IAV nucleoprotein(NP)and acidic RNA polymerase(PA)were designed and biosynthesized by in vitro transcription,and then were inserted into the plasmid pGenSil-1.After sequencing analysis,the recombinant plasmids NP-shRNA and/or PA-shRNA were transduced into HBE cells followed by infected with IAV A/PR/8/34 H1N1(A/PR8)virus.The cytopathogenic effect(CPE)of the HBE cells,hemagglutination assay(HA)and 50% tissue culture infective dose(TCID50)titer of A/PR8 in the culture supernatants were determined respectively.The mRNA and protein expressions of NP and PA were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively,and the results were compared in order to evaluate the inhibitive efficiency of NP-shRNA and/or PA-shRNA to A/PR8 duplication in HBE cells.Results The content of NP-shRNA and PA-shRNA biosynthesized by in vitro transcription were respectively 59.4 nmol and 50.6 nmol in each 100 ?l.The purity was more than 2.0 and the sequences were verified to be correct after sequencing analysis.The CPE of HBE cells and the virus titer in the culture supernatants of cells transfected with NP-shRNA,PA-shRNA or NP-shRNA+PA-shRNA were markedly lower than those of the control groups.In 3 h after 1 TCID50 A/PR8 infection,the mRNA level of NP in NP-shRNA group,the mRNA level of PA in PA-shRNA group and those in NP-shRNA+PA-shRNA group were 41.7%,43.4%,68.5% and 73.7% respectively,lower than those of the control group.At 48 h after 1 TCID50 A/PR8 infection,NP synthesis were 92.3%,84.0% and 91.7% respectively of those of the control group.Conclusion Anti-IAV NP-shRNA and PA-shRNA are successfully prepared by in vitro transcription.Both of those markedly inhibit the reproduction of IAV A/PR8 and produce a favorable protective effect on HBE cells.

Objective To investigate the role of P21 protein and survivin on the cell apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) induced by mevastatin. Methods The inhibitory effect of mevastatin on A549 and NCI-H520 cell line was evaluated by MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis induction were determined with flow cytometer and transmission electron microscope. The expression of p21 protein was assessed with flow cytometer. The mRNA expression of p21 and survivin was assessed with RT-PCR. Results Flow cytometry showed that mevastatin induced G_0/G_1 cell arrest in NSCLC cell lines. The results indicated that mevastatin caused apoptosis in concentration-dependent manner. Mevastatin produced no change in expression of P21 mRNA and total P21 protein. Concomitantly, P21 protein localized on cellular membrane was decreased. It was also found that mevastatin suppressed the expression of survivin mRNA in NSCLC cell lines. All these effects were reversed by mevalonate. Conclusions Mevastatin inhibited the proliferation of NSCLC cell lines. Mevastatin exerts growth inhibitory effect and induces apoptosis effect by inhibiting mevalonate synthesis. Its mechanisms might involve blockade of the isoprenylation of p21 protein and down-regulation of the expression of survivin mRNA.
