A series of multinuclear diethylenetriamine ligands were synthesized and used as artificial nuclease enzyme model. Target compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and ESI-MS. Preliminary studies on the cleavage of pUC19 DNA in the presence of metal complexes have also been performed and the results revealed that these complexes could act as powerful catalysts for the cleavage of pUC19 DNA after 48 h under physiological conditions. The hydrolytic cleavage mechanism of DNA plasmid by title compound was confirmed by T4 DNA ligase experiment.

Autoradiography of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (N-AChR) with the application of histochemical staining location of cholinesterase was used to observe the effect of soman on junctional and extrajunctional N-AChR. Testing with the diaphragms and extensor digitorum longus muscles of mice and rats, we found that soman mainly increased the number of extrajunctional N-AChR. It did pot alter the number of junctional N-AChR significantly, nor did it have any pronounced effects on the glycoprotein property and isoelectric point (pI) of junctional and extrajunctional N-AChR. The change of extrajunctional N-AChR number caused by soman is similar to the phenomenon of increased extrajunctional N-AChR number and sensitivity resulting from denervation, but the mechanism of action is different from the latter. The increase of N-AChR number is one of the important characteristics of soman poisoning which make it different from other nerve agents. To maintain the metabolic balance of N-AChR may be an important new approach to the treatment of soman poisoning.

Objective To develop a simple and quick method for detection of stress-induced 5′transfer RNA( tRNA) halves.Methods Total RNA purified from stress induced cells was polyadenylated by poly( A) polymerase, and then degen-erate DNA probes were used to hybridize with 3′tRNA-halves of intact tRNAs,while RNase H specifically degraded the 3′tRNA-halves strand in tRNA-DNA probes hybrids.Using the RNase H digestion total RNA as templates, complementary DNA( cDNA) was synthesized by oligo ( dT) n-anchored primers.The primer of 5′tRNA halves and anchored-primer were used to amplify 5′tRNA halves by PCR.Results The results showed that the method of poly ( A )-tailed-RNase H digestion-RT-PCR could be successfully used to detect stress-induced 5′tRNA halves.Conclusion A simple and quick method for detection of 5′tRNA halves has been established,which is a user-friendly tool for 5′tRNA halves detection and function research.

Objective To observe the effect of δ-opioid receptor on proliferation and migration of human epidermal stem cells (hESCs) in vitro so as to offer treatment theory for skin injury.Methods hESCs from fresh foreskin tissues of normal young volunteers were isolated and cultured by enzyme digestion and differential adherence technique.Immunofluorescent staining was used to determine expression of integrin β1 and cytokeratin 19 (CK19) and flow cytometry was used for cell count.Second generation of cells were cultured for 5 consecutive days with keratinocyte serum-free medium (K-SFM) supplemented with 1 nmol/L (D-Ala2,K-Leu5)-enkephalin in Group A,with K-SFM supplemented with 1 nmol/L naltrindole and 1 nmol/L (D-Ala2,K-Leu5)-enkephalin in Group B,and with isolated K-SFM in Group C.Cellular division and proliferation were detected by MTT method.An in vitro 100 μm scratch-wound model was created on the confluent monolayer cells at 24 hours of incubation.Cells migrating from the wound margin were determined by inverted phase contrast microscope at 24,48,72,and 96 hours after wound formation,while wound closure rate was calculated at 72 hours.Results Primary cultured hESCs presented cobblestone-like shape after adherence growth,Immunofluorescence staining showed positive results for integrin β1 and CK19 and cell purity reached 95.6％.Moreover,MTT findings revealed proliferation of hESCs enhanced significantly in Group A,but lowered in Group B as compared to Group C (P ＜ 0.05).hESCs migrated from the wound margin in all groups at 24 hours.However,more migrated cells were seen in Group A than in Group C and less in Group B than in Group C.Rate of wound closure was (89.5 ±0.7)％ in Group A,(76.1 ±0.3)％ in Group B,and (81.1 ±0.6)％ in Group C at 72 hours,indicating significant differences among groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Activation of δ-opioid receptor promotes the proliferation and migration of hESCs in vitro and may be implicated in wound healing.

With the expansion of herbal medicine (HM) market, the issue on how to apply up-to-date analytical tools on qualitative analysis of HMs to assure their quality, safety and efficacy has been arousing great attention. Due to its inherent characteristics of accurate mass measurements and multiple stages analysis, the integrated strategy of liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) and ion trap mass spectrometry (IT-MS) is well-suited to be performed as qualitative analysis tool in this field. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview on the potential of this integrated strategy, including the review of general features of LC-IT-MS and LC-TOF-MS, the advantages of their combination, the common procedures for structure elucidation, the potential of LC-hybrid-IT-TOF/MS and also the summary and discussion of the applications of the integrated strategy for HM qualitative analysis (2006-2011). The advantages and future developments of LC coupled with IT and TOF-MS are highlighted.

Objective To report the clinical observation and nursing points for recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with MINE regimen. Methods Patients (46 cases) with recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were given mental nursing,preparation and evaluation of the condition of patients before chemotherapy. Complications especially extravasation of infusion fluid should be prevented during chemotherapy and myelosuppression and long-term complications should be prevented after treatment. Results No patient died after treatment but several complications such as infection(14 cases), nausea and vomiting (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 22 cases, grade Ⅲ,2 cases), alopecia (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 27 cases), mucositis (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 4 cases), liver function lesion (grade Ⅱ, 1 case) were found and improved after proper treatment. No nephrotoxicity and hemorrhagic cystitis were found. Conclusions Selective mental nursing,proper chemotherapy preparation,evaluation of patients' condidtion and positively prevention of chemotherapy-related complications could increase the chemotherapy effect of patients with recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Objective To explore the value of electrocardiagraphy and risk stratification in patients with early repolarization syndrome( ERS ). Methods All of 271 eases were divided into three groups: 7 ERS patients with cardiac events (syncope,clinical sudden death or incompleted, ventricular fibrillation and induced ventricular fibrillation during electrophysiological), 82 ERS patients without cardiac events, and 182 cases without heart disease who were matched for age and sex. QRS interval,Tpeak-Tend (TpTe) interval,corrected QT interval(QTc) and QT deviation degree (QTd) in surface ECG were compared among the three groups. Results TpTe interval in ERS patients with cardiac events was significantly longer than that in ERS patients without cardiac events and the control subjects [ ( 123.3±22.4 ) ms vs (87.7±15.5 ) ms; ( 123.3±22.4) ms vs (83.5±15.1 ) ms, P < 0.05 ]. There was no significant difference in QRS interval, QTc and QTd among three groups. Conclusion TpTe interval in ECG might be useful in risk stratification with ERS, but further research is needed.
