OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of RLIP76 in regulating multi-drug resistance in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and to analyze the relationship between its expression and prognosis.
METHODSThe expressions of RLIP76 protein and gene were detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR (RT-PCR) in both the chemosensitive SCLC H69 cell line and chemoresistant H69AR cell line, respectively. siRNA was transfected into the H69AR cells to inhibit RLIP76 expression, and eGFP-RLIP76 was transfected into the H69 cells to enhance RLIP76 expression. The drug-sensitivity of cells to chemotherapeutic drugs (ADM, DDP, VP-16) were detected by CCK8 assay. The expression of RLIP76 in the SCLC tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship of RLIP76 expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients was analyzed.
RESULTSThe expression of RLIP76 in H69AR cells was 13.675 ± 0.983, significantly higher than 1.074 ± 0.107 in the H69 cells (P < 0.01). The drug-sensitivities of H69AR cells to chemotherapeutic drugs were significantly increased when the expression of RLIP76 was down-regulated (P< 0.001). The sensitivities of H69 cells to chemotherapeutic drugs ADM, DDP and VP-16 were significantly decreased after transfection with eGFP-RLIP76 up-regulating the RLIP76 expression (P = 0.003). The positive expression rates were 61.3% and 9.4% in the SCLC tumor tissues and para-cancerous tissues, respectively (P < 0.01). The expression of RLIP76 was significantly correlated with clinical stage, chemosensitivity and overall survival of the SCLC patients (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSOur results suggest that RLIP76 is involved in the regulation of small cell lung cancer multidrug resistance. RLIP76 may serve as a potential target gene to evaluate the chemosensitivity and clinical prognostic for small cell lung cancer.

Objective:To establish a method for the determination of three optical isomers in bortezomib. Methods: An HPLC method was used with a ChiralPAKAY-H normal phase chiral column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was n-hexane-ethanol-methanol-trifluoroaceticacid (90 ∶7. 5∶2. 5∶0. 1) and the flow rate was 0. 8 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was set at 270 nm. The column temperature was 40℃ and the injection volume was 5 μl. Results: The separation of bortezomib from the three optical isomers was more than 2. 0. The linear range of the three optical isomers was 0. 6-20μg·ml-1(r≥0. 999 7). The average re-covery was 104. 1%, 105. 5% and 92. 0% with RSD of 2. 3%, 2. 4% and 2. 7%, respectively (n=9). The limit of quantification and detection limit was 3 ng and 1 ng, respectively. Conclusion:The method is rapid and accurate, and can be used for the determi-nation of optical isomers in bortezomib.

Objective To study the radioprotective effects of ultra-small carbon quantum dots (CQDs) in mice in vivo,and to reveal the protective mechanism,as well as to study the body immune response to CQDs and the toxicity in vivo.Methods Mice were injected with different concentrations of CQDs solution.Mice models of systemic radiation injury were constructed by high dose gamma rays radiation.The 30-days survival rate,bone marrow DNA,femoral bone marrow nucleated cells (BMNC),tissue superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured to evaluate the radioprotective effects of CQDs,and to investigate the possible protective mechanism.The toxicity of CQDs in vivo was studied by measuring the changes of body weight,liver index and spleen index before and after injections of CQDs in mice.Results CQDs showed obvious radioprotective effects on mice in vivo.Compared with the control group,the 30-days survival rate of irradiated mice treated with CQDs increased from 0% to 40%.CQDs could effectively reduce the hematopoietic system damages caused by radiation,and increase the level of bone marrow DNA,femur BMNC,liver and lung SOD,as well as reduce the production of MDA in liver and lung.The results of immunological reaction tests showed that CQDs had less toxicity in vivo and did not trigger the body immune response.Conclusions CQDs has tremendous application prospects in the field of radiation protection.This study can provide new ideas for the application of new nano-materials in medical field.

AIM: To elucidate the molecular mechanism of apoptosis in inflammatory cells occurring in the central nervous system during experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), the changes of pathology and the expression of apoptosis-related molecules Bcl-2 and Bax in the spinal cord of guinea pigs in EAE model were observed. METHODS: EAE model was induced in guinea pig. The cervical and lumbosacral enlargement of spinal cord was obmined during the 14 th and 28 th days after modeling. The H & E staining and ABC immunohistochemistry technique were used. RESULTS: HE staining: The lesion in the model was located in the inflammation of small veins, which were surrounded by inflammatory cells. It was specially noticed that inflammatory cells also infiltrated large veins. The lesions in the 28th day were more severe than that in the 14th day. ABC immunohistochemistry staining: The positive expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was obviously increased in the spinal cord of guinea pig with EAE. The number of Bcl-2 positive cells in the 28th day of model group was more than that of the 14th day. The number of Bax positive cells in the 28th day and 14th day of model group did not show obvious difference at un-lesion areas. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that Bcl-2 and Bax may play an important role in EAE.

Objective To investigate the knowledge of stroke risk factors in the families of patients with stroke. Methods 1100 family members of stroke patients hospitalized in 10 hospitals of various levels in Gansu were investigated with self-designed questionnaire. Results Most families knew that the hypertension was a risk factor for stroke, and there was no significant difference among ages. 7.32% of the families knew all the 6 common risk factors for stroke, and 14.23% knew none of them. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes as the risk factors for stroke was known most in the families finished higher education, and different with the education levels. Heart disease, smoking, consumption of alcohol as risk factors for stroke was known poorly whatever the careers of the families. Conclusion The families of patients with stroke know less about common risk factors for stroke in Gansu.
