Objective To study the mechanism of delaying aging process under optimal stress . Methods Kunming mice swam at the 18℃ water temperature for 15min everyday based upon the model of aging mice induced by D-galactose .After six weeks continuously , the ability of memory and learning , the contents of SOD and MDA were measured, at the same time ,the mitochondria membranous fluidity ,MDA's contents in mitochondria and the activity of ATPase in hippocampus were also determined.Results In the aging mice, a significant reduction of learning and memory ability was observed, the contents of SOD decreased , but MDA contents increased markedly, we also found a obvious declining at the ATPase activity and the fluidity of mitochondria membrane . But the optimal swimming stress could effectually antagonize the above-mentioned changes . Conclusions The optimal swimming stress could delay the aging process by regulating the balance between the oxidant system and the antioxidant system.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cleftpalate and secretory otitis media so that the secretory otitis media resulted from cleftpalate was treated and prevented effectively. Methods 116 children with cleftpalate and 73 normal children were investigated by tympanogram, hearing threshold and auditory brain response. Results The incidence of secretory otitis media and hearing loss had significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions Children with cleftpalate had high incidence of secretory otitis media and hearing loss. We should pay more attention to the treatment and prevention of secretory otitis media in children with cleftpalate. It is necessary for the cleftpalate children to insert the tympanal pressure equalization tubes while palatal surgery is performed.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitizing effect of tetrandrine in human esophageal carcinoma cells (TE1) in vitro and its related mechanisms. Methods The cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. Colony formation was used to analyze radiosensitivity enhancement by tetrandrine in TE1cells. Western blotting was preformed to measure the cyclin B1 protein levels. Results Tetrandrine inhibited cell growth in a concentration and time depedant manner. The inhibition of proliferation was observed when cells were treated by 1.0, 5.0 and 10. 0 μg/ml tetrandrine for 24 h after irradiation ( P <0. 05;F= 3.09, 10.43 and 24. 00, respectively). The inhibition was more significant when cell were treated by 0. 1, 1.0, 5.0 and 10. 0 μg/ml tetrandrine for 48 h than 24 hours after irradiation (F =4. 12,12. 77, 44. 28, and 48.53 respectively ,all P < 0. 01 ). The D0, Dq and SF2 decreased with the increase of the tetrandrine concentration. The maximal sensitizing enhancement ratio was 1.60 with 0. 5 μg/ml tetrandrine. Tetrandrine upregulated the expression of cyclin B1 and removed G2 / M arrest . Conclusions Tetrandrine can enhance radiosensitivity of TE1 cells. This effect may be associated with the increase of cyclin B1 expression to remove G2/M arrest.

Objective To study the radiation sensitive enhancement ratio (SER) of NS398 on esophageal cancer stem cells and adherent tumor cells and analyze the radioresistance related protein expressions.Methods ECA109 esophageal cancer stem cells were cultured in serum-free medium.Expression levels of cell surface maker CD44 + and CD271 + were analyzed by flow cytometry.MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation after the treatments with NS398 and irradiation(0,4 and 8 Gy).The sensitization effects of NS398 on the parental cells and its spheroid were evaluated by clone formation assay.Western blot assay was performed to determine protein expressions.Results Serum-free medium was successfully applied to isolate the cancer stem cells with spherical properties.CD271 + in the spheroid cells was notable higher than that in the parent cells (t =3.81,P < 0.05).After irradiation,the proliferation rate of parental cells was higher than that in spheroid cells.After the combination treatment of NS398 and irradiation,SF2 value of parental cells was lower than spheroid cells(t =2.91,P < 0.05)and the SER of NS398 on parental cells was greater than spheroid cells.The expressions of Bmi-1,c-Myc,β-catenin and Cyclin D1 in spheroid cells were higher than those in parental cells (t =8.09,7.90,7.50,7.15,P<0.05).Cyclin D1 expression levels under both cell situations increased after 4 Gy irradiation (t =9.74,6.67,P <0.05).Compared to the 4 Gy irradiation alone group,the β-catenin and Cyclin D1 expression levels in both parental cells (t =10.15,12.12,P < 0.05) and spheroid cells (t =3.23,7.45,P < 0.05) decreased in the combination group.Conclusions Esophageal cancer stem cells with high level of CD271 can be isolated with serum-free medium and it is radioresistant where β-catenin and its downstream proteins may be involved.

Objective: To study the effects of chromium on glucose and lipid metabolism and gene expression in diabetic rats.Methods: Male Wistar rats were assigned to three groups:normal control(NC), alloxan-induced diabetic control group(DM), and DM with chromium supplementation group(DM+Cr). Cr 200 ?g/(kg bw?d) was supplemented orally for 60 days. At the end of the treatment, the blood glucose, lipid and serum insulin were measured, and the changes in gene expression among three groups were studied by mRNA differential display technique.Results: Blood glucose in DM+Cr group decreased significantly than that before experiment. The levels of serum TG, TC, LDL-C and AI in DM+Cr group were lower than those of DM group, while the serum HDL-C levels were higher. Serum insulin was not improved obviously in DM+Cr group. 11 cDNA fragments larger than 400 bp expressed differences in skeletal muscles between DM+Cr group and DM group and were isolated, 4 of which expressed higher in DM+Cr group, while the rest expressed higher in DM group.Conclusion: Chromium supplementation could partially improve the disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism, and have an impact on some gene expression in diabetic rats, which may contribute to the regulating effects on its disorders of metabolism.

AIM: To demonstrate the susceptibility of cell apoptosis varies during the progress of cell malig- nant transformation from human being in vitro. METHODS: A SV40T - transfected human bronchial epithelial im- mortalized cell line (called M) was selected in this work, which has acquired some characteristics of malignant trans- formation at the later passage. The alterations of apoptosis and bcl- 2, P53 genes between early and later passage of M cells were investigated by means of TDT labeling in situ, chromosome FISH, RNA and protein testing, etc. RE- SULTS: Incidence of apoptosis induced by cis - platin was significantly lower in later than in early passages of M. Levels of bcl - 2 mRNA and protein in later passages were higher than early passages of M, and overxpression of bcl -2 was accumulated following the development of cellular malignancy. P53 protein level was as high in early as in later passages. CONCLUSION: Overexpression of bcl - 2 decreases the cellular sensitivity to apoptotic inductors plays an important role during progress of carcinogenesis in human bronchial epithelial cancers. The inactivation of P53 protein in the SV40 - T transfected M cell line may be one of reasons of bcl - 2 overexpression, but not associated with the accumulation of bcl - 2 expressed level during cell transformation.
