1.Relationship between abnormal activation of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway and EGFR-TKI acquired resistance in non-small cell lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(9):703-705
Targeted therapy such as the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)has made huge progress in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).However,the emergence of acquired drug resistance is an inevitable result of the targeted therapy.The hepatocyte growth fac-tor/c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (HGF /c-Met)signaling pathway participates in cell formation, migration,angiogenesis and other important cellular processes of multiple tumors.The abnormal activation of this signaling pathway plays the pivotal role in the acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI.Recently,some clinic tri-als prove that HGF /c-Met inhibitors can make clinical benefit of some NSCLC patients with acquired drug re-sistance of EGFR-TKI.
2.STUDIES OF APOPTOSIS INDUCED IN MALIGNANT LYMPHOMA CELL LINES BY ARSENIC TRIOXIDE
Tumor 2001;(2):79-81
Objective To investigate the effects of a wide range of concentrations of As2O3 malignant lymphoma cell lines. Methods Cell apoptosis situation ,cellular DNA contents and bcl-2 protein expression were determined by cell stain, TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-end Labeling (TUNEL) and flow cytometry. Results 0.5 μmol/L~2.0 μmol/L As2O3 could inhibit Raji cell growth accompanied by the appearance of morphologic characteristics of apoptosis. Number of sub-G1 cells significantly increased and bcl-2 protein expression in Raji cells was significantly down-regulated assayed by flow cytometry. The relationship between bcl-2 protein and the concentrations of As2O3 showed a dose-and time-dependent effect; so did the number of sub-G1 cells. However, there was no effect of 0.5 μmol/L~4.0 μmol/L As2O3 on Jurkat cell.Conclusion It is found that As2O3 could significantly inhibit the growth of B lymphoma cell lines and induce their apoptosis.
3.Difference in dental arch form between Angle Ⅱ division 1 and normal occlusion assessed by Euclidean distance matrix analysis
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2000;0(05):-
Objective: To evaluate differences in dental arch forms between the subjects with Angle II division 1(AngleⅡ1 ) and those with normal occlusion. Methods:60 AngleⅡ1 patients and 60 normal occlusion subjects aged 13-17 years old were selected. Fourteen landmarks, corresponding to the cusp tips and incisor edges, were identified on the upper and lower dental casts of all subjects by YM-21115 three dimension measuring machine. Arch form differences between AngleⅡ1 and normal occlusion subjects were assessed by Euclidean distance matrix analysis (EDMA). Results:(1) In both sexes, the upper arch of AngleⅡ1 subjects was larger than that of normal occlusion (1.8% for females and 2.7% for males); and arch shape difference was also significantly different(P

Objective:
To investigate the undertected situation in gonococci culture of male urethral secretions.
Methods:
The 362 cases of male ureethral secreations were simultaneously detected with fluorescence quantitative PCR, germiculture and direct smear method. The results in three detections were statistically analyzed.
Results:
The fluorescence quantitative PCR positive rate was 29.56%, near to direct smear method (26.52%)(x2=0.83,P>0.05); the germiculture positive rate(4.42%) was significantly lower than the positive rates of fluorescence quantitative PCR(x2=81.10,P<0.01) and direct smear method(x2=67.60,P<0.01).
Conclusion
The simple gonococci culture has high missed detection rate(>80%) in detecting male cases. Ensuring the quality of samples before analysis and detecting with two methods or above are the effective measures to improve the gonococci detection rate.

[Objective]To evaluate the validity and feasibility of somatosensory evoked potentials(SEP) and transcranial magnetic stimulation motor evoked potential(TMS-MEP) in early decompression of spinal cord injury(SCI). [Method]Thirty-two rabbits fell into four groups randomly. The static load model were used to simulate human SCI. According to the compression time, the animals were divided into 4 groups (control,5min, 15min,30min). In this study, somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and transcranial magnetic stimulation motor evoked potential (TMS-MEP) were used to assess neurologic function. The EPs were recorded at 5min, 15min, 30min, 60min, 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days post-decompression and before spinal cord injury in injury groups. Latency and amplitude were measured for each wave. Tarlov behaviour score was performed before surgery and after surgery at 1,3,7 days. Histologic studies were performed on part of animals. [Result]Spinal cord compression resulted in a gradual increment in the peak latency and significant decrement in the peak amplitude. After decompression, the recovery of the latency was more obvious than the amplitude in all injury groups, EPs recovered earlier than Tarlov score. [Conclusion]EPs may evaluate the neurologic function of SCI models sensitively and impartially. Dcompression early may promote SCI recovery.

Objective To study the effect of different iodine intake on the antioxidation of rat thyroid. Methods The rats were divided into 6 groups, low iodide (LI), normal iodine (NI), high iodide including five fold (5HI), ten fold (10HI), fifty fold (50HI), one hundred fold (100HI) and given potassium iodide (KI) at different dosages through food respectively. After 6 and 12 months of treatment, the rats were sacrificed respectively and the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the thyroid were determined. Results The activity of GPx , SOD and the MDA content in LI group were significantly higher than those in NI group. There was no difference in the SOD and GPx activity and MDA content among NI, 5HI and 10HI groups. The MDA content in 50HI group was lower than that in NI group after treated for 12 months, but no difference was found between them after treated for 6 months. Compared with NI group, the GPx activity, SOD activity and MDA content in 100HI group increased after 6 months of treatment, however, decreased after 12 months of treatment. Conclusion Low iodine intake can induce oxidative damage of the thyroid gland in normal rats, high iodine (100 fold) intake for a long period (12 months) may decrease the activity of anti-oxidases in thyroid without obvious oxidative damage, that shows the anti-oxidative system of rat thyroid has a tolerance to high iodine intake.
