The recombinant plasmids pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 were transfected into Hela cells and cisplatin was added with different concentrations in order to study the inhibitory effects of Livin gene, increase the apoptosis induced by cisplatin, and detect the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and survivin genes. The pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 were transfected into Hela cells, and the expression levels of Livin, Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and survivin genes were detected by using fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR. Then cisplatin at different concentrations (3.0, 6.0 and 9.9 microg/mL) was added into the transfected Hela cells, and 24, and 48 h later, the apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry. After transfection of pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 into Hela cells, the expression level of Livin gene was obviously reduced, and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in transfection group as compared with control group (P<0.05). Cisplatin could increase the apoptosis rate in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After cisplatin was added, the expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA were reduced, and those of Bax, caspase-3, and survivin mRNA were increased in transfection group as compared with those in control group (P<0.05). It was concluded that shRNA expression vector targeting Livin gene could inhibit the expression of Livin gene in Hela cells and enhance the apoptosis induced by cisplatin, which was related to the decreased expression of Bcl-2 and activation of Bax and caspase-3. Survivin might play an important role as an antagonist in the process of apoptosis induction.

ObjectiveTo search the appropriate experimental conditions for using green fluores-cent protein (GFP) as a reporter gene in tumor gene therapy. Methods The plasmids carrying mu-tated GFP gene were transfected into the eukaryotic cells to observe transient gene expression. Thesestudies were conducted to 1. directly determine GFP expression and express stability in the COS- 7cells, 2. compare the transfection efficiency of two plasmids pcDNA3 - EGFP, pSVKa - S65T with dif-ferent promoters in different tumor cell lines, 3. determine two genes expression in a single cell usingLacZ cotransfected with GFP by FACS. ResultsFluorescence could be detected in intact viable cellsunder different sets of conditions. The expression of GFP might last two weeks or more and the ex-pressed fluorescence was stable. The transfection rate of pcDNA3 - EGFP expressed was different inthree tumor cell lines examined. But pSVK3 - GFP expressed similarly in four tumor cell lines exam-ined. FACS showed the probability of two genes entering a single cell is above >85% at the ratio 1:4.ConclusionThe above data indicate that the GFP can be visualized continuously and directly for geneexpression in living cells. GFP may also be used for quicklly selecting cells carrying a target gene.

Background Idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane (IMEM) shows a high incidence and affects visual function of patients.The primary management of IMEM is vitrectomy,but the study on prediction of visual acuity after operation by optical coherence tomography (OCT) is seldom.Objective This study was to evaluate the predicting ability of OCT for preoperative visual outcome for IMEM patients who received vitrectomy.Methods The clinical data of IMEM patients with vitrectomy from March 2009 to May 2013 were retrospectively analyzed in People's Hospital Peking University.Forty-nine eyes of 48 cases were divided into continuous group (19 eyes of 18 cases) and discontinuous group (31 eyes of 31 cases) based on whether the extraretinal layers were intact on OCT,including retinal pigment epithelium (RPE),inner and outer segment of photoreceptors (IS/OS) and external limiting membrane (ELM).Central foveal thickness (CFT) by high-resolution spectral-domain OCT and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (LogMAR) before surgery and 12 weeks after surgery were recorded and compared between the two groups,and the correlations of shift of CFT with the shift of LogMAR vision was analyzed by unitary linear regression to evaluate the value of OCT in predicting postoperative vision.Writen informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical operation.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before surgery.Results In 12 weeks after operation,reflective strips of RPE layer,IS/OS and ELM layer were intact in 18 eyes of the continuous group after vitrectomy.The number of eyes with discontinuous strip in RPE layer decreased to 1 eye after operation from 6 eyes before operation,and the number of eyes with IS/OS reflective strip discontinue decreased to 19 eyes after operation from 29 eyes before operation,and that with ELM layer discontinue decreased to 15 eyes after operation from before operation in the discontinuous group.The improvement of LogMAR BCVA was increased with the decline of CFT values with a negative correlation between them (R2 =0.298,B =0.001,P =0.000),and postoperative LogMAR visual acuity improved 1 line whenever CFT reduced by 100 μm.LogMAR BCVA was 0.4±0.19 before surgery and 0.36±0.21after surgery in the continuous group,showing a insignificant difference between them (t =0.876,P=0.393).In the discontinuous group,the postoperative IogMAR BCVA was significantly higher after operation (0.46±0.26) than 0.82 ±0.41 after operation (t =6.206,P =0.000).The increase value of LogMAR after vitrectomy was 0.3 in the discontinuous group,which was superior to 0.0 of the continuous group.Conclusions The continuity of extraretinal layers and CFT by OCT are closely associated with the improvement of vision after vitrectomy in the eyes with IMEM.Postoperative vision is better in IMEM eye with continuous retinal reflective strips before operation,and majority of IMEM eyes can improve vision after operation.Preoperative OCT seems to be an important diagnostic tool for the selection of patients who benefit or not from surgery to certain extent.

Objective To discuss the relationship between C-reactive protein and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome. Methods C-reactive protein of 60 acute coronary syndrome patients was evaluated. The individuals were divided into two groups:One group with higher CRP level and another group with normal CRP level. The following-up duration was 6 months. After correct therapy, the morbidity of re-angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, re-infarction and cardiac death was compared. Results The morbidity of re-angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, re-infarction, cardiac death was 46.3%(19/41), 43.9%(18/41),9.76%(4/41),22.0%(9/41),7.32%(3/41)respectively in higher CRP level group; The morbidity of re-angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, re-infarction was 15.8%(3/19),10.5%(2/19), 5.3%(1/19),5.3%(1/19)respectively in normal CRP group and there was no cardiac death accident. There was significant different between the two groups. Conclusions CRP plays an important role in the onset of acute coronary syndrome, and its level is related with the higher morbidity of re-angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, re-infarction and cardiac death.

BACKGROUND:Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) can enhance fibroblast proliferation and col agen deposition, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can improve blood perfusion and metabolic level of pathological tissues. Additional y, both of them can boost the alkaline phosphatase activity under given conditions. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of bFGF combined with VEGF on the periodontal ligament fibroblast proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity in rats. METHODS:Rat periodontal ligament fibroblasts were cultured in vitro, its embryonic origin was identified and passage 4 cel s were used for the fol owing experiments. Effects of bFGF and VEGF with different concentrations on the rat periodontal ligament fibroblast proliferation were detected to determine the minimum and maximum effective concentrations. Cel s were divided into five groups:group A (control group) with DMEM containing 2%fetal bovine serum;group B as maximum effective concentration of VEGF group;group C as maximum effective concentration of bFGF;group D as minimum effective concentration of bFGF combined with minimum effective concentration of VEGF group;group E as maximum effective concentration of bFGF combined with maximum effective concentration of VEGF group. At 3, 7 and 14 days, the alkaline phosphatase activity in each group was detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Rat periodontal ligament fibroblasts derived from the mesoderm grew wel . Rat periodontal ligament fibroblast proliferation was increased with the VEGF and bFGF concentration increasing (P<0.01). The maximum and minimum effective concentrations of VEGF were 100 and 10μg/L, and the maximum and minimum effective concentrations of bFGF were 10 and 0.1μg/L. The absorbance values in the groups D and E were higher than those in the group A. The absorbance values of the group D were significantly lower than those of the group E at 3 and 7 days (P<0.05), but did not significantly differ at 14 days (P>0.05). To conclude, the combination use of the maximum effective concentration of VEGF and bFGF can play a significant synergistic effect on the alkaline phosphatase activity at a given time, but the minimum and maximum effective concentrations show no significant differences if not in the given time, which may be related to the time-effectiveness of these two factors and the receptors of periodontal ligament cel s.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of modifiedYin-Chen-Hao (YCH) decoction on the expression of aquaporin-8 (AQP8) mRNA and protein in rats with estrogen-induced cholestasis, in order to explore the potential mechanism of YCH decoction in the treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy. A total of 50 SD female rats, which were weighed between 180 g to 200 g, were randomly divided into the normal group (N,n = 10) and the model group (M’,n = 40). The animal model of intrahepatic cholestasis was induced by subcutaneous injection of 17-α-ethinylestradiol (5 mg·kg-1·d-1) for 5 days of rats in M’ group. The same volume of propylene glycol was subcutaneously injected to rats in N group. Five days later, rats in M’ group were divided into the model group (M,n = 10), high-dose (Zg,n = 10), middle-dose (Zz,n = 10) and low-dose (Zd,n = 10) modified YCH decoction group. The intragastric administration of normal saline, high-dose, middle-dose and low-dose modified YCH decoction were given to each group for 7 days, respectively. Then, rats were sacrificed and the liver tissues were removed and stored in liquid nitrogen. The expression of AQP8 mRNA and protein were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting analysis. The results showed that compared with the normal group (N), the expression of AQP8 mRNA and protein in liver tissues of rats in the model group (M) were decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group (M), the high-dose, middle-dose and low-dose modified YCH decoction can increase the expression of AQP8 mRNA and protein in liver tissues (P < 0.05). Moreover, along with the dose increasing of modified YCH decoction, the upregulation of AQP8 mRNA and protein was increased. It was concluded that the molecular mechanism of modified YCH decoction in treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy may be through the increasing of AQP8 mRNA and protein in liver tissues.
