Objective To investigate the effects of Mus81 gene silencing on the chemosensitivity of human colon cancer HCT116 cells to oxaliplatin and explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods lentiviral-mediated RNAi was employed to inhibit Mus81 gene in human colon cancer HCT116 cells. MTT assay was employed to evaluate oxaliplatin chemosensitivity of HCT116. Cell apoptosis rate was detected by Annexin V-APC staining and the expression levels of p53, while Bax and Bcl-2 in HCT116 cells were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blot. Results Oxaliplatin IC50 of Mus81 depleted HCT116 cells was significantly decreased. After oxaliplatin treatment, the cell apoptosis rate of Mus81 silenced HCT116 cells was increased by 77.6% (P < 0.05), and the expression of p53 and Bax in these cells was obviously increased but the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Introducing Mus81 gene in Mus81 depleted HCT116 cells could reduce apoptosis rate. Conclusion Mus81 gene silencing can significantly improve oxliplatin chemosensitivity of HCT116 cells possibly by promoting cell apoptosis through regulating the expression of p53, Bax and Bcl-2.

OBJECTIVE To find out the main commonly encountered pathogen and antibiotic resistance in hospital infection in Department of Neurosurgery. METHODS Clinic samples from Jun 2005 to Jun 2007 were collected and drug sensitive test was taken.RESULTS The most commonly encountered pathogens of infection were Gram-negative bacillI(83.1%),including Klebsiella pneumoniae(25.0%),Escherichia coli(19.1%),andAcinetobacter baumannii(10.3%). The three kinds of pathogens had heavy resistance to at least 8 kinds of antibiotics. The resistance rates to imipenem and ofloxacin were the lowest (6.8% and 32.4%). CONCLUSIONS The pathogens isolated from Departmentof Neurosurgery are Gram-negative bacilli which have multiple antibiotic resistance. The key prevention measures of infection are to control prophylatcic usage of the third generation cephalosporins,strengthen environmental microbial monitoring,hand sterilization and cleaning among the medical staff.

Treatment group serum AST,ALT, α-GST, GLDH contents and NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 contents in liver tissue were lower than model group (t=5.128~32.325, P<0.05).Conclusion Alcohol feeding can cause liver damage, rubescens therapy can reduce liver injury, relieve inflammation.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of different nutrition methods on the number and activity of natural killer (NK) cells in liver after hepatectomy in cirrhotic rats. MethodsTwenty thioacetamide-induced cirrhotic rats were randomly divided into enteral nutrition (EN) group ( n =10) and parenteral nutrition (PN) group ( n =10), in which EN or PN was administered for 5 consecutive days 1 day after hepatectomy. The percentage of the NK cells in livers was examined by flow cytometry. Activity of NK cells was measured by 4 h51Cr-release assay.ResultsCompared with the PN group, the percentage (22.2 ％ ± 1.7％ vs. 17.4％ ± 1.8％, P =0.000) and the activity of NK cells (41.6％ ± 2.3％ vs. 37.1％ ± 2.2％, P =0.000) in the livers were significantly higher in the EN group. ConclusionEN after posthepatectomy can ameliorate the percentage and the activity of NK cells in the livers in cirrhotic rats.

Learning guidance in pathology teaching can help to improve the students' learning ability. Learning guidance can be mainly done in two aspects:developing and fostering the students' learning ability on their own and guiding the students to review scientifically.

Objective To investigate the concentration of 17β-estradiol in bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and different tissues of rats, and study the function of estradiol produced in extragonadal sites prelimi-narily. Methods (1) The concentration of 17β-estradiol in lysate of BMSCs and in supernatant cell culture media were detected by Elisa method after rats BMSCs were serum-free cultured in 0 h , 24 h and 48 h respective ly . (2) The tissues of organs were grinded and broken under ultrasonic wave , then washed and weighed. The con-centration of 17β-estradiol in different tissues was detected by Elisa method. Results Compared with the concen-tration of 17β-estradiol at 24 h, the concentration of 17β-estradiol at 48h significantly increased (P < 0.05). The concentration of 17β-estradiol among different tissues were higher, but the difference is not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions (1) 17β-estradiol can be secreted by BMSCs , and the concentration is proportional to the time to some degree. But whether the extragonadal estrogen can function locally is still unclear. (2) The concentration of 17β-estradiol is non- gonad dependent but whether it is secreted locally remains to be elucidated. The non- gonad estrogen could be the estrogen source of bone metabolism in order to sustain bone health after menopause.
