Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the different ability to produce H_(2)O_(2+) of the vaginal lactobacilli and their potential antagonism toward E.coli in ivtro.Then to select the potential lactobacilli strain to treat the female urogenital infection.Method To detect production of H_(2)O_(2) by measuring the blue matter in water solution with absorbtion spectrophotometry.The lactobacillus and E.coli were cultured together in solid culture medium,followed by the measurement of inhibition zone around the lactobacilli after 24 hour.Results We selected 4 strains of lactobacilli from vagina.L.acidophilus1 and L.paracasei3 are the stronger to produce H_(2)O_(2).The largest diameter of the ring of inhibition is shown around the lactobacilli acidophilus 1.Conclusion The lactobacilli acidophilus 1 and lactobacilli crispatus are the most potential strains as antagonist to E.coli and their antagonism depend not only on lacid or H_(2)O_(2).
2.Research progress on PLK1 in castrate-resistant prostate cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;(14):720-723
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase that has attracted research attention be-cause it plays a critical role in mitosis regulation. PLK1 is overexpressed in 80%of human tumors, which indicates a poor prognosis in most tumors. PLK1 is one of the most promising targets for antitumor therapy because it is upregulated in castrate-resistant prostate can-cer (CRPC). This review focused on the basic structure and function of PLK1, the relationship between PLK1 and CRPC occurrence and progression, and CRPC treatment by inhibiting PLK1. This study provides a theoretical basis for the targeted molecular therapy of CRPC.

To investigate the psychological difference in abdominal aortic aneurysm patients before and after operation and its influence on life quality, 24 patients who can understand and complete the questionnaire were enrolled in the study, the inquiry was performed after admission and discharge with the standard SCL 90 table. The results showed that the general conditions, depression, anxiety, compulsive symptoms and fear of the patients had marked differences before and after operation. It is concluded that operation of abdominal aortic aneurysm can not only prevent the rupture of aneurysm but also relieve the patients′ psychological pressuer and improve their life quality.
6.Effect of paeonol on expression and function of drug transporters BCRP and SLCO1 B1 in HepG2 cell
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2015;(3):6-9
Objective To investigate influences of paeonol on mRNA expression and function of drug transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1 in HepG2 cell.Methods Cell counting Kit-8 assay was used to detect the viability of HepG2 cells;Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to measure the expressions of BCRP and SLCO1B1 mRNAs; flow cytometry was applied to determine the transport functions of BCRP and SLCO1B1. Results Paeonol (2-8μg/mL) did not decrease HepG2 cell survival rate, but 16 μg/mL paeonol significantly reduced cell survival rate (P<0.05). Paeonol(2-8μg/mL)significantly induced the mRNA expression and function of drug transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1(P <0.05).Compared with control group, transcription level of paeonol group’s BCRP and SLCO1B1 drug transporters obviously up-regulated, the of translocation efficiency of substrate specificity increased significantly (P <0.05).Conclusion Paeonol can induce drug hepatocellular transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1 gene expression, thereby promote the substrate transport the transmembrane.It is indicated that the drug combination of paeonol and BCRP and SLCO1B1 transporters, there may be a risk of drug interactions.

Military Medical Sciences 2015;(1):12-17
Objective To establish a quick method to probe the environmental estrogen-like compounds via fluorescent imaging analysis in high content analysis (HCA) technology.Methods HCA assays were performed to quantitatively in-vestigate the effect of collected environmental pollutants , including bisphenol A , nonylphenol , 1,2-phenylenediamine , 4-aminophenol, resorcinol, 3-aminophenol, 1,4-phenylenediamine and 2,5-diaminotoluene on nuclear granules formation ( Foci-formation) of estrogen receptor α( ERα)-EGFR( enhanced green fluorescent protein ) fusion-protein, which was se-lected as a research model in this study .The results were confirmed by the ERαtranscriptional activity by luciferase as-says.Results Compounds 1,2-phenylenediamine, 4-aminophenol, resorcinol, 3-aminophenol, 1,4-phenylenediamine and 2,5-diaminotoluene sulfate could not induce the ERα-EGFR nuclear granule formation.17-β-Estradiol, bisphenol A, or nonylphenol enhanced ERα-EGFR nuclear granule formation in a dose-dependent manner .The EC50 value was (4.17 ± 0.41) nmol/L, (1.48 ±1.79) μmol/L,or (3.70 ±0.78) μmol/L, respectively.The minimum detectable concentration was 1 nmol/L (17-β-estradiol)and 300 nmol/L (bisphenol A, nonylphenol).In luciferase tests, 17-β-estradiol, bisphe-nol A, or nonylphenol increased ERαtranscriptional activity in a dose-dependent manner ,and the EC50 value was (4.46 ±0.56) nmol/L, (2.31 ±0.21) μmol/L, or (6.60 ±0.94) μmol/L, respectively.The minimum detectable concentration was 3 nmol/L (17-β-estradiol), 300 nmol/L (bisphenol A),and 1 μmol/L (nonylphenol).Conclusion As an efficient method for ERαagonist identification , HCA assays based on the cell image phenotypes analysis can be used in quick recog -nition of environmental compounds with ER agonist-like activity.In all experimental compounds , only bisphenol A and non-ylphenol have a clear ER agonist-like activity .

9.Nongenomic effects of estrogen on extracellular signal-regulated kinases through initiating transient calcium flux in endometrial cancer
Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2015;(3):489-493
Objective:To study the mechanism on extracellular signal-regulate kinases ( ERK) signal transduction by calcium influx initiated by combination of estrogen with calcium channels or estrogen re-ceptor in endometrial cancer cell Ishikawa. Methods: Confocal test was used to determine the relative calcium mobilization by stimulation of estrodiol together with and without the inhibition of ICI182780 and nifedipine. Western-blotting was used to detect the protein expression of phosphorylated ERK1/2 (P-ERK1/2) in the same condition. Results:The transient calcium flux initiated by 17β-estrodiol (E2) and a membrane-impermeable conjugate of estrogen and bovine serum albumin ( E2-BSA ) , and the calcium mobilization could be inhibited by ICI182780 and nifedipine in 1 min. In Ishikawa cells, phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was stimulated by E2 , and the phosphorylation could not be inhibited by E2 after the combination with ICI182780 in 5 min and in 30 min. The phosphorylation also could not be in-hibited by E2-BSA after the combination with nifedipine in 5 min, but in 30 min the phosphorylation was decreased. The phosphorylation of ERK by E2-BSA was decreased by the combination with nifedipine in 30 min. Conclusion:The transient calcium flux initiated by estrogen has an effect on the activation of ERK signal pathway in endometrial carcinoma cells.
