Objective To investigate the effect of STAT3 knockdown on the sensitivity of breast cancer cells with drug-resistant to adriamycin (MCF-7/ADR). Methods Levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 in MCF-7/ADR and MCF-7 cells were detected by Western Blot. The MCF-7/ADR cells were infected with lentivirus expressing STAT3-shRNA and the negative control vectors in the STAT3-RNAi group and NC group, respectively, wihle the cells in the blank group received no treatment. The transfection efficiency was observed with fluorescence microscope, the mRNA level of STAT3, protein levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western Blot, respectively. MCF-7/ADR cells were treated with different concentrations of adriamycin for 48 hours, cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Results Levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 in MCF-7/ADR cells were significantly higher than those in the MCF-7 cells (P < 0.05). The levels of STAT3 mRNA, STAT3 and p-STAT3 in the STAT3-RNAi group were significantly lower than those in the Con group and the NC group (P<0.05, respectively). The Adriamycin IC50 in the Con group, NC group and STAT3-RNAi group was (56.1 ± 3.00)ug/mL,(54.9 ± 11.9)ug/mL and (7.6 ± 0.2)ug/mL, respectively. The flow cytometry results showed that the cell apoptosis in the Con group, the NC group and the STAT3-RNAi group was (10.5+0.7)%, (11.7+0.7)%and (34+3.1)%, respectively. Conclusion LV-shRNA-STAT3 can significantly inhibit STAT3 expression and enhance the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to adriamycin, and the underlying mechanism may be related to cell apoptosis.

Histone deacetylase 1 ( sirtuin 1, SIRT1) is an important member of deacetylase family, and plays an important role in the process of malignant tumor and embryonic development. In this article it was found that overexpression of SIRT1 could accelerate the DNA synthesis in human pancreatic beta cell CRL-1837 and inhibit cell senescence. SIRT1 also could bind to p53 as detected by co-immunoprecipitation and could change the phosphorylation level of p53.

Objective To compare the characteristics of lymph nodes on 18F-FDG imaging in patients with NHL and widespread lymph node metastases carcinoma (WLNMC) for helping the differential diagnosis.Methods A total of 40 NHL patients(22 males,18 females,average age 51 years) and 42 WLNMC patients (19 males,23 females,average age 61 years) confirmed by histopathology from November 2010 to May 2015 were included in this retrospective study.The regions and the metabolism features of the lesions on PET/CT images were observed and recorded with routine visual method.Two-sample t test and x2 test were used for statistical analysis.Results Lymph nodes of NHL were kidney-shaped (47.2％,142/301),which was significantly different from that of WLNMC with circular form (47.6％,140/294;x2 =36.261,P＜0.05).Lymph nodes of NHL mostly showed homogeneous density with no necrosis (51.8％,156/301);however,that of WLNMC showed uneven density (20.4％,60/294) or with necrosis (32.3％,95/294;x2 =26.266,P＜0.05).Both of the two kinds of lymph nodes showed the characteristic of fusion (30.6％ (92/301) vs 36.1％ (106/294);x2 =2.019,P＞0.05).The ratios of lymph nodes with clear boundary in NHL and WLNMC were significantly different:28.2％(85/301) vs 19.4％(57/294);x2 =6.413,P＜0.05.Lymph nodes with symmetric distribution were more in NHL patients (52.5％,158/301)than that in WLNMC patients (42.2％,124/294;X2=6.347,P＜0.05).Sizes of lymph nodes in NHL patients and WLNMC patients were not significantly different:(2.08±0.65) cm vs (1.97±0.81) cm;t=0.316,P＞0.05.SUVmax of lymph nodes in NHL patients (9.02±3.97) was much higher than that in WLNMC patients (6.92± 1.34;t=0.370,P＜0.05).Conclusions Some characteristics of lymph nodes on 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging,such as the distribution,morphology,density and glucose metabolism features,are different in patients with NHL and WLNMC.Those differences may be helpful for the differential diagnosis.

Objective To determine the value of spectral karyotyping(SKY)in identification of the marker chromosome.Methods Selected six cases that could not be identified in clinic were studied,using samples of peripheral blood from four cases,and samples of amonic fluid and fetal cord blood for prenatal diagnosis in two cases were investigated.All cases were analyzed with the routine SKY method.and the results with the SKY View software.The SKY results were identified by using fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH).And C-banding technique was used to help diagnose the heterochromatin.Results SKY wag successfully performed on all of 6 cases.The origin of all marker chromosomes was identified by SKY.Except case No.4,the others were confirmed by FISH.It helped determine the pregnancy outcome in two cases of prenatal diagnosis:one case of genetic marker chromosome continued the pregnancy,and another case of de novo marker chromosome was terminated of the pregnancy.Conclusion SKY may be a vahable tool to diagnose the marker chromosome with rapidness,direct-viewing and sensitiveness.It can be used to assess the prognosis and the pregnancy outcome.

Objective To investigate the effects of ligustrazine (TMP) combined with salvia miltiorrhiza on the progression of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) in rats and the action mechanism.Methods Fischer 344 rats and Lewis rats were used as renal transplant recipients and donors for ortlotopic kidney transplantation. The CAN model was established.By using random number table,the kidney transplant recipients were divided into five groups:cyclosporine A (CsA) group (A),TMP + CsA group (B),Salvia + CsA group (C),TMP + Salvia + CsA group (D) and blank control group (E,receiving no treatment).At 2nd,4th,6th,8th and 12th week after operation,5 mice in each group were sacrificed,and the transplanted kidney was removed for examination of renal histopathological changes. The immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in the renal allograts,and by using fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction,TGF-β1 mRNA expression in the renal allograts assayed.Results In blank control group,the survival time was no more than two weeks.In group A,the CAN pathological changes occurred at 4th week postoperation,those in group B and group C occurred later than in group A,and latest in group D with mild pathological lesions.In all groups after operation,Banff scores showed an upward trend,and at the same time point,those in group A were significantly higher than groups B,C and D ( P＜0.05 and P＜0.01 ).and those in group D was significantly lower than in group B and group C (P＜0.05),but no significant difference was found between group B and group C (P＞0.05).With time over,the TGF-β1 expression intensity showed an increasing trend.At the same time point,TGF-β1 expression intensity in group A was strongest among groups A,B,C and D (P＜0.05 and P＜0.01 ),and that in group D was significantly lower than in group B and group C (P＜0.05),but no significant difference was found between group B and group C (P＞00.05).The changes of TGF-β1mRNA expression pattem in each group showed the same trends as TGF-β1 protein expression.Conclusion TMP or salvia miltiorrhiza can delay the progression of CAN in kidney transplant rats by down-regulating the TGF-β1 expression,and the combined use of them exerts synergic effects.
