Aim To explore the mechanism of E.coli heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit(LTB)as adjuvant by analysis of cellular proteins interacting with LTB. Methods Whole cell proteins were purified from RAW 264.7 cell after treated with LTB or NaCl 12 h, respectively.The cellular proteins were interacted with LTB and the interacting proteins were purified by pull-down assay and identified by mass spectrography.The LTB interaction proteins were conformed with Western blot and immunofluorescence assay.Results 25 LTB interaction proteins were found,and their interaction network was mapped;four proteins (Jup,Dsp,Ddx5 and Vimentin)were indicated to be related with LTB adjuvant activity;immunofluorescence assay indicated that GM130 interacted with LTB,however,Vimentin had no interaction with LTB in vivo.After treated by LTB,the expression of β-actin was upregulated obvi-ously in RAW 264.7 cell,whereras,Hspd1 did not show any change.Conclusions LTB exerts adjuvant activity through binding to GM1 of immune cells,cau-sing endocytosis and transporting to the Golgi apparatus by vesicles.Then LTB might bind to Jup and affect TCF/LEF activity,regulating the expression of Bcl 2, IL-6,and Runx3.The result is promoted T cell and B cell proliferation,differentiation and activation by se-cretion of cytokines and immunoglobulins.

Objective To evaluate the value of diffusion.weighted imaging(DWI)in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions with Meta.analysis.Methods English and Chinese articles published from 1997 to 2007 were searched in Cochrane library,Pubmed,Ovid.Elsevier.Springer databases and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),and selected according to the criteria for diagnostic research recommended by Cochrane Method Group.The characteristics of selected articles including the study background,design,results and diagnostic indicators were analyzed.Statistical analysis was performed with Meta-test version 0.9.Results Six articles were included with a total of 479 lesions.The sensitivity and specificity of DWI for breast 1esions ranged from 64.0% to 92.8% and from 45.8% to 96.7% respectively. All groups had homogeneity.and a fixation effects regression Was developed.The pooled weighted sensitivity and specificity with 95% CI and Az Was 86%(76%-92%).80%(61%-91%)and 92.19% respectively.Sensitivity analysis demonstrated no remarkable change on heterogeneity.Condnsion The value of ADC in DWI can help to differentiate the benign breast lesions from the malignant with good sensitivity and specificity.The further study is needed to assess the clinical aplication of the b-value and diagnostic threshold.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of minimal flap surgery in the treatment sub-gingival caries ( class V cavities) . Methods:57 teeth(4 incisors, 13 canines, 38 premolars and 2 molars) with sub-gingival caries in 42 patients were treated by com-bined gingival flap surgery. Sub-gingival caries was fully exposed and the lesion was fully removed, then the deffects were filled with flowing resin. Before operation, 6 and 12 months after treatment, PD, SBI and gingival recession were examined. Results:Success rate of the treatment was 98. 25%. No statistically significant difference of the indexes was found during 12-month-follow up. Conclu-sion:Minimal flap surgery is effective for the treatment of sub-gingival caries ( class V cavities) .

Objective: To investigate the effect of moxibustion on telomerase activity and genes expression in tissues of senescent rats. Methods: Subacute aging rats model were established by injection with D-gal solution. Points Shenshu (BL 23) were treated with moxibustion in treatment group, contrasting with a model group and a normal group. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays(ELISA) was used for the level oftelomerase activity in liver tissues, and In Situ Hybridization(ISH) was used for the condition of expression of telomerase genes in liver tissues. Results: The level of telomerase activity in the aging model group was obviously lower than that in normal control group (P＜0.01), the level in moxibustion group was obviously higher than that in model group(P＜0.05). In comparison with normal rats, the positive-expressed areas and photodensity of telomerase genes in aging model group were all significantly lower (P＜0.01,P＜0.01), and the positive-expressed areas in moxibustion group was significantly higher than that in model group (P＜0.01). Conclusions: Moxibustion could regulate telomerase activity of senile rats, hence delaying aging.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of aspirin on liver metastasis of colon cancer in mice and the possible mechanism.Methods A total of 32 BALB/C mice were injected with CT26 colorectal cancer cells to establish colon cancer liver metastatic model,with 3 mice dead,15 mice in control group and 14 mice in experimental group.The control group was given saline 0.2 mL/d,the experimental group were given aspirin 30 mg/kg.The liver weight and the number of metastatic tumors were calculated after 30 days of intervention.HE and CD31 staining was performed by immunohistochemistry to observe the metastasis and angiogenesis.The protein expression of VEGF and cox-2 were analyzed by Western blot.Results The average liver weight and number of liver metastases nodules in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Pathological examination showed that the experimental group of mice the number of liver cells and liver tumor angiogenesis were significantly less than the control group(P<0.05).Western blot showed that the expression of VEGF and cox-2 of CT26 cells were down-regulated after treated with aspirin.Conclusion Aspirin can down regulate the protein expression of VEGF and cox-2 protein to inhibit liver metastasis of colon tumor proliferation and angiogenesis,thereby inhibiting metastasis of colon cancer cells,for therapeutic purposes.
