Objective: To investigate the effects of simvastatin on K562 cells apoptosis and elucidate its molecular mechanisms. Methods: K562 cells were treated with various concentrations of simvastatin for different time,and then AnnexinⅤ-FITC/PI staining was performed to confirm the apoptosis of K562 cells. Flow cytometry was employed to measure ROS level;mutant P53 protein expression level in K562 cells was measured by immunohistochemistry method. RT-PCR was employed to analyze the mRNA expression levels of c-jun. Results: K562 cells were induced to undergo apoptosis after 5,10 ?mol/L and 20 ?mol/L simvastatin treatment for 48 h and 72 h. After the treatment of 10 ?mol/L and 20 ?mol/L simvastatin for 48 h,compared with the control group,ROS level in K562 cells increased obviously. Immunohistochemistry results indicated that simvastatin could inhibit protein expression levels of mutant-type P53. RT-PCR results showed that simvastatin could increase the mRNA expression levels of c-jun significantly. Conclusion: Simvastatin induces K562 cells apoptosis by down-regulating mutant P53 protein and up-regulating c-jun mRNA expression which might be caused by changes of intracellular redox state.

Objective To evaluate the effect of various sampling errors on ELISA test results. Methods Standard sample volume,standard sample volume reducing 1,2,3,4 μL or adding 1, 2,3 μL were respectively pipetted into the wells of a microplate,follwed by routine operation of ELISA test. Then the influence of various sampling errors was analyzed on ELISA test results of HBsAg, HCV and TP. Results S/CO value was increased with the increase of sample volume. The statistical difference of mean S/CO value of HBsAg and TP was only found between sample volume adding 3 μL group and control group(P<0.05). For HCV result, there were significant differences between standard sample volume adding 2,3μL or reducing 3,4μL groups and control group(P<0.05), while no obvious differences were found in the other groups(P>0.05). The difference of mean positive rate between ex-perimental groups and control group showed an increasing tendency with the reduction of sample vol-ume,and significant differences in HBsAg, HCV and TP results were also found between sample vol-ume increase groups and reduction groups(P<0.05). Conclusion Various sampling errors influence ELISA test results to different degrees,and the extent increases with the reduction of standard sample volume.
