Tumor 2007;27(11):853-856
Objective: To observe the changes of SHIP, caspase-1, caspase-3, caspase-9 and bcl-2 gene expression levels in K562 cells after mesylate imatinib (MI) treatment and explore the possible mechanism for apoptosis-inducing effects of imatinib. Methods: K562 cells were cultured with MI at different concentrations. The cells were collected at different time points. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of SHIP gene. Semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR was used to detect the mRNA transcription of anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic genes caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-9. The cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin V/PI double staining flow cytometry. Results: MI significantly increased the expression of SHIP gene in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Caspase-9 gene was also up-regulated after MI treatment and had linear correlation with SHIP gene expression. The expression levels of caspase-1, caspase-3 and bcl-2 had no significant changes. MI down-regulated the proliferation and induced the apoptosis of K562 cells. The morphological changes of typical of apoptosis were observed. Conclusion: MI significantly increases the expressions of SHIP gene and caspase-9 gene and induces apoptosis of K562 cells. The mechanism for the apoptosis-inducing effects of imatinib may be associated with the up-regulation of SHIP and caspase-9 gene.

Salteffectinhigh-voltageassistedlaserdesorptionionizationmassspectrometry(HALDI-MS)has been studied under both positive and negative ion modes using L-tyrosine, β-cyclodextrin, α-lipoic acid, as well as the complex formed between α-lipoic acid and β-cyclodextrin as the test analytes. Compared the mass spectra obtained with and without the addition of salt, it is found that HALDI-MS can tolerate a higher amount of salt than electro spray ionization mass spectrometry ( ESI-MS) . Also, the addition of salt can enhance the HALDI-MS signal intensity of the complex ion of α-lipoic acid and β-cyclodextrin, and we suggest that such signal-enhancement effect is due to the formation of the three component complex consisting of α-lipoic acid,β-cyclodextrin and the positive ion of the salt.

Journal of Environment and Health 2007;0(09):-
Objective To establish a capillary gas chromatography method for the determination of trinitrotoluene (TNT) in workplace air.Methods Using dichloromethane as the eluent,the air was drawn through a glass fiber filter to collect TNT,TNT was extracted from the filter with dichloromethane by an ultrasonic shaker,and the sample was analyzed by OV-17 elastic quartz electron capture detector capillary gas chromatography.Results Under the optimal condition,the lowest detection limit was 0.006 ?g/ml,the lowest detection concentration was 0.001 3 mg/m~3 (based on 45 L air sample).When the concentration of standard solution was 0.040-2.0 ?g/ml,the linear equation was good,r=0.999 8,RSDs were between 0.66%-3.62%,the recovery rates were 90.4%-95.5%.When sample was collected by fiberglass filter paper,the efficiency of desorption was more than 90%,and was stable for at least 7 days at 2℃-8℃.Conclusion This method is applicable to the determination of trinitrotoluene in workplace air.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of mongolian medicine Cymbaria dahurica extract. METHODS:96 KM mice(or SD rats)were randomly divided into model group(water),positive control group(aspirin, 0.5 g/kg),C. dahurica ethanol extract (70% ethanol) low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.325,0.650,1.300 g/kg, calculated by crude drug) and C. dahurica aqueous extract of the residue of alcohol extraction low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups(0.325,0.650,1.300 g/kg,calculated by crude drug). They were given relevant medicine intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 7 d. The xylene-induced ear edema method was used to determine the degree of ear edema,and egg white-in-duced paw edema method was used to determine paw edema after inducing inflammation 1,2,4,6 h;anti-inflammatory activity of C. dahurica extract was investigated. 96 KM mice were grouped and given medicine with same method;the number of writhing within 20 min was determined by acetic acid writhing method. Another 64 KM mice were grouped with same method,with 8 mice in each group;except positive control group was given tramadol hydrochloride(0.5 g/kg)intragastrically,other groups were given relevant medicine with same method. Pain thresholds of mice were determined by hot-plate test before and after medication 30,45, 60,90 min,and analgesic effects of C. dahurica extract were investigated. RESULTS:Compared with model group,C. dahurica extract could obviously restrain the ear edema of mice and paw edema of rats 6 h after egg white-induced inflammation. Except paw edema of rats in C. dahurica aqueous extract of the residue of alcohol extraction high-dose group was decreased slightly,there was statistical significance among other groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). C. dahurica extract decreased the number of writhing in mice within 20 min,and extended pain thresholds of mice 30,60,90 min after medication (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Both C. dahurica ethanol extract and aqueous extract of the residue of alcohol extraction posses certain anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Objective To observe the cerebral edema occurrence ,evolution and prognosis of intra-arterial thrombolytic recanali-zation in patients with acute ischemic stroke .Methods From October 2010 to October 2012 ,36 patients who underwent the intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy were cerebral recanalization .They were randomly divided into two groups :1-3 h group and >3-6 h group .The alteration of brain edema was observed by cranial CT .Their mRS .NHISS and BI were scaled and recorded before and after intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy .Results After intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy ,the occurrence rate of cerebral edema was 94% ,appeared at the onset of more than 1 hours in all patients .Long-term follow-up showed ,cerebral edema location appeared obvious cerebromalacia .Cerebral edema and clinical outcome had not significant difference between 1-3 h group and 3-6 h group . Conclusion Cerebral edema and loss of cerebral tissue occurred almost inevitability in patients who received intra-artery thromboly-sis and recanalized their cerebral artery .It indicates that good local circulation and general condition may be favorable factors that can gradually reduce brain edema .

Objective To investigate the influence of perioperative continuing aspirin therapy on tooth extraction surgery in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.Methods A total of 926 patients with coronary heart disease who required tooth extraction were enrolled in this study.Among them,241 patients discontinued aspirin therapy before tooth extraction,685 patients continued aspirin therapy before tooth extraction.The entering rate of operation was evaluated.100 patients continuing aspirin and 100 patients discontinuing aspirin were randomly selected.Systemic pressure,diastolic pressure and heart rate before and after tooth extraction were detected.100 matched healthy elderly patients were selected as normal control group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the risk for tooth extraction.Results The entering rate of operation was 67.9% (131 cases) in 193 patients with angina pectoris discontinuing aspirin therapy and 82.1 % (312 cases) in 380 patients with angina pectoris continuing aspirin therapy (x2 =14.77,P<0.01).The entering rate of operation was 41.7% (20 cases) in 48 patients undergoing coronary revascularization and discontinuing aspirin therapy,and 80.7% (312 cases) in 305 patients undergoing coronary revascularization and continuing aspirin therapy (x2=33.95,P<0.01).The changes in systolic blood pressure before versus after dental extraction had a significant difference between the discontinuing aspirin group and control group [(15.9±5.5) mmHg vs.(12.2±4.7)mmHg,P<0.05,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa],while had no significant difference between the continuing aspirin group and control group [(13.6±4.5) mmHg vs.(12.2±4.7) mmHg,P>0.05].There were no significant differences in changes in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in the intraoperative period between the patients and controls (P>0.05).The bleeding rate in patients continuing aspirin therapy was not significantly different as compared with control group (P> 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that perioperative discontinuing aspirin therapy remained the second significant risk factor for tooth extraction.Conclusions Preoperative administration of aspirin should be continued in dental extraction surgery in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.
