Objective To investigate effects of Livin antisense oligodeoxynucleotides(ASODN) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human leukemia(HL60) cells.Methods Livin protein on HL60 cells was examined by immunohistochemistry.Specific phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotides and missense oligodeoxynucleotides target Livin mRNA were synthesized and transfected into HL60 cells following cationic liposome.The proliferation inhibition of HL60 cells was assessed by MTT.The expression of Livin mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Transmission electron microscope and TUNEL technology were used to detect the apoptosis and morphologic change.ResultsASODN of 600 nmol/L inhibited the HL60 cell proliferation and the expressions of Livin mRNA.The percentage of apoptosis detected by TUNEL was 38.48%?4.37%.cellar ultrastructure was markedly destroyed by Livin ASODN.A significant difference was found when compared with the control group(P

Objective: To investigate the effect of antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) of Livin mRNA on the proliferation and apoptosis of human lung adenocarcinorna A549 cells. Methods: Livin ASODN was transfected into A549 cells mediated by cationic liposome. The proliferation rates of A549 cells were assessed by MTT method. The transcription of Livin mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. The Livin protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry and confocal laser scanning microscopy before and after transfection. The apoptotic ratios of A549 cells were examined by acridine orange/ethidium bromide(AO/EB) fluorescent staining. Results: It was observed that A549 cells expressed both Livin α and Livin β simultaneously, and the distribution of Livin protein could be observed in both cytoplasm and nuclei. The proliferation of A549 cells was inhibited significantly by Livin ASODN in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). After transfection of Lip-ASODN at a final concentration of 400 nmol/L, the expressions of Uvin were inhibited at mRNA and protein levels and the apoptotic ratio reached (31.25 ± 5.75)%. The difference was significant compared with control group [ (3.23% ± 1.98)%, P<0.01]. Conclusion: Livin ASODN significantly down-regulates the expression of Livin mRNA and effectively inhibites the proliferation and induces the apoptosis of A549 cells. Therefore Livin gene may become a new target for gene therapy for lung cancer.

Purpose:To study the effect of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor ?-strain(IGF1R-?) interrupted by a special antibody (IGFⅠR-?Mab)on lung adenoma cell line SPC-A-1.Methods:IGFⅠR-?Mab was extracted by hybrid technology. SPC-A-1 cells were separated into 2 groups,the IGFⅠR-?Mab and the blank control. The IGFⅠR-?Mab cells were interfered by different densities of IGFⅠR-?Mab, including 20,40,60,80,100,120,140,160,180 and 200 ng/ml. The MTT curve line, morphology, ultrastructure and cell cycles were observed at 0,24,48,72 hours after the intervention respectively. Results:Compared with the control, apoptosis in IGFⅠR-?Mab group was significant(P= 0.009)and proliferation rate was decreased obviously within 160 ng/ml. However, the proliferation rate was no significant when the special antibody density was more than 200 ng/ml.Conclusions:The affinity of IGFⅠR-?Mab at IGF1R ?-strain is high. The interruption of IGF1R ?-strain by IGFⅠR-?Mab shows the obvious biological effects in vitro ,with inclusion of promoting apoptosis and suppressing proliferation, which indicate the interruption targeting IGF1R ?-strain is prospective for non-small-cell lung carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of symmetrical ambulatory arterial stiffness index (S-AASI) in detecting early renal impairment of patients with essential hypertension.Methods Totally 245 consecutive out-patients were confirmed with essential hypertension,and were divided into group A (56 cases),group B (64 cases),group C (72 cases),and group D (53 cases) according to the quartile of S-AASI.The combination testing of serum cystatin C,serum β2-microglobulin as well as urine microalbumin to creatinine ratio were implemented as laboratory diagnosis index of renal impairment in early stage and 109 essential hypertension patients were diagnosed with early renal impairment.The parameters were compared among 4 groups.Pearson correlation analysis and partial correlation analysis were performed to confirm the relationship between the markers of early renal impairment and S-AASI.The predictive value of S-AASI to detect early renal injury was evaluated by analyzing Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve.Results With the rising of S-AASI,age as well as 24 hours mean systolic blood pressure (24 h SBP),serum cystatin C,serum β2-microglobulin,urine microalbumin to creatinine ratio and the incidence rate of early renal injury went notably higher while estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased significantly.After controlling for age,correlation test showed S-AASI was positively correlated with24hSBP,serum cystatin C,serumβ2-microglobulin,urine microalbumin to creatinine ratio(r =0.392,0.627,0.514 and 0.643 respectively,P ＜ 0.05) and negatively correlated with eGFR(r =-0.312,P ＜ 0.05).The 24 hours mean diastolic blood pressure (24 h DBP) was uncorrelated with S-AASI.Area under ROC curve of S-AASI for diagnosis of hypertensive renal impairment was 0.885.The critical value of S-AA-SI was 0.17,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value were 92.7％,65.2％,68.5％,and 91.7％,respectively.Conclusions When S-AASI was detected above 0.17,patients with hypertension had a higher risk of renal impairment.Higher S-AASI was correlated with worse early renal impairment laboratory indexes.The predictive accuracy of S-AASI for early hypertensive renal impairment was medium.

The risk factor of dental fluorosis are mainly related to the cancen tration of fluoride in the drinking water,the supplements of fluoride,nutrition states and regime,the time of fluoride exposure.Other factor such as the period of mother's milk feeding,the altitude of resident,the environmental pollution,the education degree of parents,and the level of health service of the community are also contributed to the development of dental fluorosis.Besides,the knowledge of dentists,the health habits of individual,the condition of economic,and so on is somehow the risk factor of dental fluorosis.The chances of fluoride exposure will become more often as the prosperous of the society.Thus any health policy of the complement of fluoride should be adapted to local conditions.
