Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) are divided into limited and extensive stage diseases. Limited-stage SCLC (LS-SCLC) is conifned to the ipsilateral hemithorax and within a single radiotherapy region, 30%-40%of patients with SCLC are limited stage. The median ranges of survival for patients with LS-SCLC is from 15 to 20 months. Approximately 20%-40%of patients with LS-SCLC can survive for two years. According to the guidelines, patients with LS-SCLC should be treated with combined concurrent chemoradiotherapy and patients with LS-SCLC achieving a complete remission or patient with stage I disease who have had resection should be offered prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI). Whereas in SCLC, targeted therapies is still in the early stage and few clinical trial data is available to support its effect.

The establishment of fingerprint system and the study of spectrum-effect relationship have become a very important development trend in quality evaluation of Chinese materia medica (CMM). It is based on the research of index components and can be used to evaluate the authenticity, quality and stability of crude drug, pieces and patent medicines of CMM. However, it is affected by many unstable factors and lacks of relevance to traditional Chinese medicine theories. Quality marker, in due course, provides an enlightening thought and way for the fingerprint system and spectrum-effect relationship studies. Taking Lonicerae Japonicae Flos as an example, this paper explores the researching ideas and establishes methods for fingerprinting research on CMM based on the characteristics of Q-markers.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the masking efficiency and regularity of bitterness suppressants (BS) to a representative bitterness substance berberine hydrochloride (BBR). METHODS: Some quantitative evaluation methods of BS efficiency were established based on relevant literature and our previous research. Efficiency of respectively added into eight kinds of BS such as acesulfame, on bitter degree 3 BBR solution (0.05 mg•mL-1) were evaluated using the established methods. Bitterness masking regularity of BS on BBR solution were explained by respectively establishing the relationships between tongue tasted bitter decreased value (ΔI), electronic tongue tasted bitter decreased value (ΔIe) with BS concentration (ρ). RESULTS: ①Five tongue taste bitter masking efficiency (calibrated masking rate, bitterness revised standard half effect index and so on), two electronic tongue bitter masking efficiency(first taste reduce and aftertaste reduce) were established. ②Seven kinds of bitterness suppressants efficacy indicators can be used to compare the bitterness suppressants efficacy of BS to BBR solution, and the maximum bitterness reduction of 8 kinds of BS to BBR solution is above 1.8. ③ΔI-ρ Weibull regularity models of eight BS and nine ΔIe-ρ models of six BS were brlilt.HP-β-CD, glycine and crystalline fructose had good response to two sensor, stevioside, soluble soybean polysaccharide and acesulfame had a good response to one sensor and xanthan gum and aspartame had no response to any sensor. CONCLUSION: Seven evaluation indexes and methods are built based on human tongue and electronic tongue taste method. Max standard capability index of BS is suitable for the development of bitterness suppressants in taste method and two indicators of electronic tongue are also can be used as indicative indicators. Masking regularity of BS to BBR solution is exposed which could provide reference for the development and application of more BS.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of a novel naphthalimide-polyamine conjugate on apoptosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line. METHODS: MTT assay was used to evaluate the cell inhibition rate. The cellular morphous was detected with AO/EB/Hoechst staining, the ROS was detected with DCFH-DA staining, the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) was detected with Rh123 staining, the expression of caspase-9 and PARP-1 was detected by immunofluorescence method. The cell cycle was detected by HCS. Apoptosis of HepG2 cells was quantified by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI stain. RESULTS: Proliferation of HepG2 cells was inhibited significantly by the naphthalimide-polyamine conjugate in a dosage dependant manner. Under HCS, some HepG2 cells underwent a typical apoptotic morphologic change and the expression of ROS and caspase-9 was increased. The expression of PARP-1 and the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) was detected decreased. Flow cytometry indicates 64.12% HepG2 cells were induced apoptosis after 48 h incubation with 25 μmol·L-1 naphthalimide-polyamine conjugate. CONCLUSION: The naphthalimide-polyamine conjugate could significantly induce the apoptosis of HepG2 cells by the mitochondrial pathway. The mechanism is concerned with increasing ROS, decreasing the mitochondrial membrane potential, upgrading caspase-9 and decreasing the expression of PARP-1.

OsRhoGDI2 was isolated as a putative partner of Rho protein family member OsRacD from rice panicles by yeast two-hybrid, but its function remains unknown. In order to identify the function of OsRhoGDI2, OsRhoGDI2 knockout mutants were created by CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The results showed that two different homozygous mutants were obtained in T0 generation, and eight kinds homozygous mutants were identified in T1 generation. Sequence analysis revealed that the base substitution or base deletion occurred near the editing targets of the gene in knockout rice, and it could be expected that the truncated OsRhoGDI2 proteins lacking the RhoGDI conserved domain would be generated. Phenotype analysis showed that the OsRhoGDI2 knockout rice plants were significantly lower than the control plants. Statistical analysis confirmed that the significant decrease of plant height was due to the shortening of the second and third internodes, suggesting that OsRhoGDI2 gene may be related with rice height control.

To rapidly and accurately manipulate genome such as gene deletion, insertion and site mutation, the whole genome of a very virulent strain Md5 of Marek's disease virus (MDV) was inserted into bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) through homogeneous recombination. The recombinant DNA was electroporated into DH10B competent cells and identified by PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. An infectious clone of Md5BAC was obtained following transfection into chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells. Furthermore, a lorf10 deletion mutant was constructed by two step Red-mediated homologous recombination. To confirm the specific role of gene deletion, the lorf10 was reinserted into the original site of MDV genome to make a revertant strain. All the constructs were rescued by transfection into CEF cells, respectively. The successful packaging of recombinant viruses was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence assay. The results of growth kinetics assay and plaques area measurement showed that the lorf10 is dispensable for MDV propagation in vitro. Overall, this study successfully constructed an infectious BAC clone of MDV and demonstrated its application in genome manipulation; the knowledge gained from our study could be further applied to other hepesviruses.

AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanism through which DKK1 is transcriptionally regulated in HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) cells. METHODS: Real time PCR was used to explore whether EGFR was involved in regulating DCLK1 mRNA expression in HCC cells; Western blot assay was used to examine whether EGFR-mediated the up-regulation of DCLK1 protein in HCC cells; Immunohistochemical (IHC) analyses were used to examine the protein expression of EGFR and DCLK1 in 39 human HCC tumor specimens. RESULTS: EGF promoted the expression of DCLK1 mRNA and protein in HepG2 and Huh-7 cells (P<0.05, P<0.01), while knockdown of EGFR with two specific siRNA could reverse EGF-induced the up-regulation of DCLK1 mRNA and protein (P<0.01). IHC analyses revealed that the amount of EGFR correlated significantly with that of DCLK1 (r=0.669 6). CONCLUSION: EGFR promoted DCLK1 transcription in HCC.
