It is kno wn that 8-Br-cAMP is one of selective bi nding site analogues for cAMP RIIα to af fect cell growth through regulation of g ene expression.The p16,p21wafl,p53 a nd Rb are antioncogenes which affect cel l growth through control of cell cycle.T he aim of this study is to investigate t he 8-Br-cAMP effect on the expression of antioncogenes in human HXO-Rb44 cells. Methods Cultured HXO-Rb44 cells in RPMI -1 640 medium were divided into two aliquot s.8-Br-cAMP (2×10-5mol/L) was added i nto one aliquot for 24h as the experime ntal group(EG),the another aliquot witho ut 8-Br-cAMP as the control group(CG).Af ter 24h,the cell suspension was dropped onto the nitrocellulose membrane.The mR NA of p16,p21wafl,wild type(w)p53,mut ant type(m) p53 and Rb were used respec tively with biotin-labeled cDNA probes b y intact cell RNA dot blot.The immunorea ctivity(IR) of P16,P21wafl,PRb,PCN A,cdk2 and cdk4 were detected respecti vely with specific monoclonal antibodies on dot blot.ResultsThe mRNA dot blot s ignals of mp53 and protein dot blot of cdk2-IR,cdk4-IR and PCNA-IR in EG were weaker than those in CG(P＜0.05～0.01). W hile,the mRNA signals of p16,p21wafl,wp53 and Rb in EG were stronger than tho se in CG(P＜0.05～0.01).The intensity of ea ch protein dot blot was consistent with that of their RNA dot blot (except for w P53-IR and mP53-IR not to be done).Conc lusions(1)8-Br-cAMP could up-regul ate expression of antioncogenes includin g p16,p21wafl,wp53,Rb,and protein exp ression of P16,P21wafl and PRb.(2) 8-Br-cAMP could down-regulate mp53 gene expression and protein expression of cd k2,cdk4 and PCNA.The results suggest t hat 8-Br-cAMP could inhibit human HXO-Rb 44 cell growth through interfering rela ted gene expression of cell cycle.

Objective To investigate the 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging features of thoracolumbar tuberculosis.Methods Nine-ty-eight patients with thoracolumbar vertebral column destruction receiving 18F-FDG PET/CT examination in our hospital from May 2005 to January 2017 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the tuberculosis(TB) group (n=27) and non-TB group (n=71) according to the result of pathology examination and follow-up.The 18F-FDG PET/CT signs were compared between the two groups,and the binary classification Logistic regression was used to screen out the signs with statistical significance.Results Forty-two lesions and 114 lesions were detected in the TB group and non-TB group respectively.The incidence rates of continuous vertebral body involvement,intervertebral disc lesion,vertebral body compression fractures,cold abscess," radioactive cold area",high lesion SUVmax and slightly higher SUVmax sign in the TB group were higher than those in the non-TB group(P＜ 0.05) The binary classification Logistic regression analysis results showed that continuous vertebral involvement,intervertebral disc lesion,vertebral body compression fractures,cold abscess and "radioactive cold area" were the independent factors for diagnosis of thoracolumbar TB(P＜0.05).The sensitivity,specificity,positive prediction value,negative predictionvalue and Youden index in the combination of continuous vertebral involvement + intervertebral disc lesion were 71.4％,81.6％,58.8％,88.6％,53.0％,respectively.Conclusion For the diagnosis of thoracolumbar TB,the combination of continuous vertebral involvement + intervertebral disc lesion has the highest diagnostic value.

Objective: To investigate nutritional quality of school lunch in some primary schools and middle schools in the Pearl River Delta, and to provide the scientific basis for improving the nutritional quality of students lunch and formulating scientific and effective interventions. Methods: Five-day lunch meal survey by chemical analysis were conducted, and students lunch at school were recorded by meal review in three age groups from 8 primary and middle schools in the Pear River Delat area. The energy and nutrient content were obtained and compared with the reference intake of dietary nutrients of student. Results: The average protein intake at lunch of all age groups had reached the recommended standard (80%-95%), the energy supply ratio of carbohydrate in the range of 38.3%-42.3%, the energy supply ratio of fat in 63% school meal exceeded the recommended standard. Vitamin A, vitamin B 1, vitamin B 2, calcium, iron and other nutrients were seriously inadequate; while sodium intake far exceeded the recommended standard. Conclusion The main nutrients of school lunch of primary and middle school in Pearl River Delta can basically meet the growth and development needs, but there are still some deficiency and unbalanced diet nutrient content which are lower than the recommended intake. It is recommended to strengthen nutrition education of catering enterprises and school to improve the scientific combination of diets.

Objective:To study the differences of intestinal flora between neonatal rats with intrauterine hypoxia and healthy neonatal rats using high-throughput sequencing technology to determine the effects of intrauterine hypoxia on neonatal intestinal flora.Methods:Intrauterine hypoxia model were established in neonatal rats. On d1 and d7 after birth, intestinal samples were collected from intrauterine hypoxic group and normal control group and assigned into INH1 group (intrauterine hypoxia d1), INH7 group (intrauterine hypoxia d7), NOR1 group (normal control d1) and NOR7 group (normal control d7). 16S rRNA sequencing were conducted using these samples and the differences in the diversity, richness and composition of the flora among the groups were compared.Results:(1) The Alpha diversity of the intestinal flora in the INH1 group was higher than the NOR1 group. Specifically, both sobs and chao indices, representing the richness of the flora, in INH1 group were significantly higher than the NOR1 group (sobs index: 114.5±35.6 vs. 50.5±21.3, chao index: 135.6±38.5 vs. 73.9±28.8)( P<0.05). Compared with the NOR7 group, the mean values of sobs, ace, chao, simpson and shannon indices in the INH7 group showed no significant differences ( P>0.05). (2) At the phylum and genus level, the dominant bacterial groups in the intrauterine hypoxia group on d1 were firmicutes and streptococcus and proteus and escherichia for the normal control group. The difference of intestinal flora between intrauterine hypoxia group and the normal control group on d7 was smaller than the difference between the two groups on d1. Compared with INH1 group, the INH7 group had increased escherichia composition and decreased streptococcus composition. Conclusions:Intrauterine hypoxia changes the initial colonization and later affects the abundance and structural composition of the intestinal flora in newborn rats.
