Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second largest cause of cancer deaths worldwide.TLRs signal transduction pathways are related to the progress of HCC.As an innate immune recognition receptors on the surface of the cell,TLRs are involved in the ligand-mediated activation of various cells and the secretion of cytokines in liver through signal transduction,which is part of the cause and development of HCC.A better understanding of TLRs and these signaling pathways in the liver will help us understand the mechanism of hepatocarcinogenesis and provide a new therapeutic target for HCC.

Objective:To investigate the curative effects and mechanism of Shuxuetong injection (疏血通注射液) on treating coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:The treated group (n=20) based on conventional therapy was treated with Shuxuetong injection infused intravenously,meanwhile the control group treated with conventional therapy only.Before and after therapy the changes in concentrations of plasma endothelin(ET),thromboxin B2(TXB2),6ketoprostaglandin F1α(6ketoPGF1α) and blood rheology between two groups were compared.Results:After therapy the clinical symptoms were convalescent,the ET and TXB2 reduced,the 6ketoPGF1α increased,and the parameters of blood rheology improved.Conclusions:Shuxuetong injection is able to dilate vessels,increase blood flow volume,anticoagulate,and improve blood rheology so that it is effective drug to treat CHD.

Objective To explore the influence of smoking upon the level of the serum interleukin and TNF-? in patients with bronchial asthma.Methods Sixty-five patients with bronchial asthma,grade 3 or 4 as asthma group and 50 healthy examinees as control group were selected.According to the smoking history,each group was divided into the smoking subgroup and the non-smoking subgroup.For each group,the level of cytokines in serum were detected,and at the same time,their smoking history and general condition were collected.The differences between the groups were compared and the relationship of all indexes was analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the level of IL-2、IL-6、IL-8 and TNF-? of the asthma group was significantly higher(P0.05).The level of IL-2、IL-8 and TNF-? of the smoking asthma subgroup was significantly higher than the smoking control subgroup(P0.05).Conclusion The influence of smoking upon the level of cytokines of asthma patients is significant.The level of IL-8、TNF-? in serum of a smoking asthma patient increases.The level of five cytokines in serum of 65 asthma patients in our research is related to patient's condition severity.

Background and purpose: MORC2 (microrchidia family CW-type zinc finger 2, MORC2) is a newly identified chromatin remodeling protein that plays key roles in DNA-based biological processes including gene transcription and DNA damage repair. However, its functional role in breast cancer development and progression re-mains unknown. ALDH1A3 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A3), a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) superfamily, is a putative breast cancer stem cell marker, but its regulatory mechanism in breast cancer is poor-ly characterized. This study aimed to investigate the effects of knockdown of endogenous MORC2 on the expression levels of ALDH1A3 and the breast cancer stem-like phenotype in MCF-7 cells. Methods: Human breast cancer MCF-7 cells were infected with negative control short hairpin RNAs (shNC) and specific shRNAs targeting human MORC2 (shMORC2), followed by selection with puromycin to generate stable MORC2 gene knockdown cell lines. Western blot and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) were used to examine the protein and mRNA levels of ALDH1A3 in MCF-7 cells stably expressing shNC and shMORC2. Microsphere formation and fluo-rescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) assays were used to analyze the effects of knockdown of MORC2 on the breast cancer stem-like phenotype. Results: Western blot and RTFQ-PCR analyses revealed that the protein and mRNA levels of ALDH1A3 were significantly down-regulated in shMORC2 expressing cells as compared with shNC -transfected control cells. Moreover, mammosphere formation assay showed that knockdown of endogenous MORC2 in MCF-7 cells significantly reduced the ability of cells to form microspheres. Consistently, FACS assays demonstrated that shMORC2-transfected cells had a lower proportion of ALDH-positive stem cells as compared with shNC expressing cells. In contrast, knockdown of MORC2 did not significantly affect the CD44+CD24- stem cell population. Conclusion:MORC2 promotes a breast cancer stem-like phenotype through, at least in part, regulating ALDH1A3 expression.

s:Objective To study the effect of Cichorii Extract(CE)N2 on quail with hyperuricemia and hypertriglyceridemia.Methods Quail models were established by feeding of yeast.Effect of CE N2 on biochemical parameters such as serum uric acid,triglyceride,nitric oxide(NO),xanthine oxidase(XOD),etc.were observed dynamically.Results As compared with the control group,CE N2 in three different dosages decreased serum uric acid,triglyceride and NO;CE N2 in high and low dosage could also lower the serum activity of XOD.Conclusion CE N2 can lower serum uric acid and triglycercide levels in quails with hyperuricemia and hypertriglyceridemia.

Objective To determinted whether GM1 had a protective effect on injury induced by serum-deprivation and the possible mechanism in PC12 cells. Methods The viability of PC12 cells was quantified by MTT after serum-deprivation.The number of apoptotic cells and necrotic cells were determined by Hoechst 33258/PI staining.And the change of PKC protein expression on PC12 cells' membrane and cytosols was detected by Western blotting. Results 1.The viability of PC12 cells decreased after serum-deprivation and the serum-deprivation for 24 hours was chosen as an injury model in this research.Most of the PC12 cells presented apoptosis 24 hours after serum-deprivation.In addition,the PC12 cells' cytosols PKC protein decreased,while the PC12 cells' membrane PKC protein increased significantly,and this result suggested PKC's translocation to membrane and its activation.2.The viability of PC12 cells preincubated with GM1 in high concentrations(10,1,0.1?mol/L) increased significantly and GM1 protected PC12 cells from apoptosis after serum-deprived injury.GM1 reduced the damage of serum-deprivation on PC12 cells and inhibited PKC protein translocation after injury.3.The repair function of GM1 was effective to neuronal resume after serum-deprived injury.Conclusion Neuroprotective effects of GM1 on serum-deprived injury may be partly mediated through the regulation of PKC pathways and it is helpful for the recovery after injury.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of non-mitogenic human acidic fibroblast growth factor (nm-haFGF) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. Methods Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was made by ligating bilateral carotid for 20 minutes in mice. These mice were randomly divided into model group( iv NS), two doses of nm-haFGF (iv 25、50 ?g?kg-1) groups, rhaFGF group(iv 50 ?g?kg-1) and sham- operated group. Step down test and Y-type electric maze were used to examine the effect of nm-haFGF on learning and memory of mice, then Even′s Blue(EB) level and NO level in brain of these mice were measured. Results The nm-haFGF significantly decreased numbers of errors of mice in 5 min in step down test and in Y-type electric maze test; EB and NO levels in brain of these mice were lower than those of model group respectively. Conclusion The nm-haFGF can protect cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.
