Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2017;33(6):1031-1037
AIM:To investigate the effects of p62 on drug resistance of human laryngocarcinoma cell line Hep-2.METHODS:The abundance of p62 in Hep-2/5-FU and Hep-2 cells was measured by RT-qPCR and Western blot.After silencing of p62 with p62 siRNA in the Hep-2/5-FU cells, the cell viability and cell apoptosis were determined by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry.The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured to reflect the status of oxidative stress in the cells.The protein levels of apoptosis-related molecules Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-8/cleaved caspase-8 and caspase-3/cleaved caspase-3,and the activity of anti-oxidative stress pathway-related proteins Keap1/Nrf2 were measured by Western blot.RESULTS:The expression of p62 at both mRNA and protein levels was significantly up-regulated in the Hep-2/5-FU cells.The expression of p62 and Nrf2 increased in a dose-dependent manner in the Hep-2 cells.Knockdown of p62 inhibited the viability and promoted the apoptosis of the Hep-2/5-FU cells.Increased content of MDA, and suppressed activity of SOD and GSH-Px were also observed.Furthermore, knockdown of p62 up-regulated the protein levels of Bax, cleaved caspase-8, cleaved caspase-3 and Keap1, but down-regulated the protein levels of Bcl-2, Nrf2 and HO-1.CONCLUSION:Knockdown of p62 increases the sensitivity of Hep-2/5-FU cells to 5-FU exposure.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of Keap1/Nrf2 pathway and the modulation of oxidative stress and cell apoptosis.

The concept of syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a nonlinear, open and complicated huge system. Syndrome differentiation in TCM belongs to cognitive and noetic science. To establish a new syndrome differentiation system based on the key elements of the syndrome is necessary for TCM practitioners to promote differentiation ability and reach consensus on differentiation method. With combination of experience and computation models, the Bayesian network was used in the study of the relationship between the key elements of syndrome and the symptoms, and the relationship among different key elements, in which the computing diagnosis result was identical to the result from an experienced TCM doctor. The study showed that Bayesian network is a good method to deal with the information of symptoms and signs for syndrome differentiation, but it is also not to reflect comprehensively the thinking ability of TCM doctors in doing syndrome differentiation.

Differentiating syndrome factor and forming syndrome type according to symptoms and signs are the rules and processes of syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM syndrome differentiation is a nonlinear complex giant system. In order to solve the key problem of determination of diagnosing weight value for syndrome factor differentiation, a new algorithm of double levels of frequency and weight based on the analysis of frequency statistics was applied, and the accurate syndrome differentiation parameters were acquired. Therefore, based on the nonlinear and multivariate analysis, a new algorithm of calculating diagnostics for syndrome factor differentiation was established.

The research on intracellular trafficking of adenovirus has been described mainly through observations of subgroup C adenoviruses in transformed cell lines. The basic elements of the trafficking pathway include binding to receptors at the cell surface, internalization by endocytosis, lysis of the endosomal membrane, escape to the cytosol, intracellular trafficking along microtubules, nuclear pore docking, and viral genome translocation into the nucleus. More than 80% of the adenovirus genome is delivered to the nucleus in a highly efficient manner in approximately 1 h. However, exceptions to this trafficking pattern have been noted, including: variations based on target cell type, cell physiology, and adenovirus serotype. This review summarizes mechanism of adenovirus infection pathway and intracellular trafficking, providinging a foundation for the development of clinical adenoviral vector.

Objective: To study left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) in patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and color Doppler echocardiography. Methods: The maximum velocity ( V max ) and time velocity integration(TVI) in early and late diastolic stage of mitral valve orifice of 80 patients with CAD and 79 normal subjects were measured by color Doppler echocardiography at apical 4 chamber view. Meanwhile, the V max and/or TVI of the myocardial motion spectrum of left ventricular lateral wall near the mitral valve annulet were measured by TDI. These data were compared and analysed by statistical method. Results: In the normal subjects, the older the subject, the lower the V max and TVI of early diastolic stage, the higher the V max and TVI of late diastolic stage. In CAD group, changes were not associated with ages and were affected by the degree of the myocardial pathology. The LVDF couldn't be exactly judged by color Doppler echocardiography when pseudonormalization blood flow spectrum appeared, but TDI technique was relatively sensitive. Any regional myocardial motion could be measured by TDI according to the examiner's design. Conclusion: LVDF by color Doppler echocardiography is simple and convenient. TDI technique can be used for determining overall LVDF and left ventricular systolic function. [
