1.Progress in integrin in acute leukemia
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2016;25(8):506-508
Acute leukemia (AL) is an early hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell malignant cloning disease.Minimal residual disease and drug resistance are considered to be the origin of relapse and refractory.Recently,more and more evidences have shown that the interaction between leukemia cells and stromal cells or extracellular matrix in the bone marrow microenvironment can promote their survival,and enhance the resistance to conventional chemotherapy drugs.Integrin is the major molecule mediating the adhesion between leukemia cells and extracellular matrix (cellular and non cellular components),which plays a key role in cell proliferation,survival and other biological processes;however,the mechanism is not fully understood yet.This paper will review molecular mechanisms of the relationship between integrin and AL discovered recently.

In this study, polyelectrolyte microcapsules have been fabricated by biocompatible ferrosoferric oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and poly allyamine hydrochloride (PAH) using layer by layer assembly technique. The Fe3O4 NPs were prepared by chemical co-precipitation, and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and infrared spectrum (IR). Quartz cell also was used as a substrate for building multilayer films to evaluate the capability of forming planar film. The result showed that Fe3O4 NPs were selectively deposited on the surface of quartz cell. Microcapsules containing Fe3O4 NPs were fabricated by Fe3O4 NPs and PAH alternately self-assembly on calcium carbonate microparticles firstly, then 0.2 molL(-1) EDTA was used to remove the calcium carbonate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Zetasizer and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to characterize the microcapsule's morphology, size and magnetic properties. The result revealed that Fe3O4 NPs and PAH were successfully deposited on the surface of CaCO3 microparticles, the microcapsule manifested superparamagnetism, size and saturation magnetization were 4.9 +/- 1.2 microm and 8.94 emu x g(-1), respectively. As a model drug, Rhodamin B isothiocyanate labeled bovine serum albumin (RBITC-BSA) was encapsulated in microcapsule depended on pH sensitive of the microcapsule film. When pH 5.0, drug add in was 2 mg, the encapsulation efficiency was (86.08 +/- 3.36) % and the drug loading was 8.01 +/- 0.30 mg x m(L-1).

Objective:
To establish a continuous flow injection analysis with potassium permanganate for determination of oxygen consumption in water.
Methods:
The water samples and acid potassium permanganate working solutions were mixed using the continuous flow bubble spacing, and subjected to online heating reaction at 97 ℃. The peak height of the electrical signal of potassium permanganate was measured at the maximum absorption wavelength of 520 nm, and the standard substance, sulfuric acid concentration and potassium permanganate concentration were optimized according to the peak height of the electrical signal. The standard curve was plotted to measure the limit of detection, the limit of quantification, and spiked recovery rate of the method. The CODMn concentration was determined in 40 drinking water samples using acid potassium permanganate titration and continuous flow injection analysis using potassium permanganate, and the determination results of the two methods were compared with paired t-test.
Results:
Glucose was selected as the standard substance, and the mixture of 17.5% sulfuric acid and 3.2 mmol/L potassium permanganate was selected as the working solution. CODMn had a good linear relationship at concentrations of 0 to 6.00 mg/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 and higher, a detection limit of 0.013 mg/L and a quantitation limit of 0.043 mg/L, respectively. The spiked recovery rates were 90.00% to 105.00% in 40 drinking water samples, with relative standard deviations of 0.12% to 1.36%. The determination results of two permanganate index standard substances were all within the range of standard values. The relative errors of CODMn concentration were 1.55% to 9.26% between the continuous flow injection analysis using potassium permanganate and acid potassium permanganate titration, and there was no significant difference (t=2.023, P=0.185).
Conclusion
The established continuous flow injection analysis with potassium permanganate is feasible for batch determination of oxygen consumption in water.

Objective To study the role of bcl 2 gene expression in human prostate. Methods The level of bcl 2 gene mRNA expression were investigated by in situ hybridization in 11 cases of fetal prostates, 27 cases of adult (specimens obtained from autopsy)and 60 cases of hyperplastic prostates. Results In fetal prostates, positive signals were detected in all epithelial cells of the prostate buds, while in adult and hyperplastic specimens, positive signals were predominantly concentrated to the basal cell layer of the epithelium, with little involvement of the secretory epithelial cells. The expression in hyperplastic prostates was significantly higher than in normal ones and that of the basal epithelial cells was significantly higher than the secretory ones in both the normal prostates and the hyperplastic ones. Conclusions Bcl 2 gene may play an important role in regulating the apoptosis of the basal cells while if plays a secondary role in the secretory cells of the prostate.

The aim of this study is to prepare cationic biodegradable dextran microspheres loaded with tetanus toxoid (TT) and to investigate the mechanism of protein loading. Positively charged microspheres were prepared by polymerization of hydroxylethyl methacrylate derivatized dextran (dex-HEMA) and dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) in an aqueous two-phase system. The loading of the microspheres with TT was based on electrostatic attraction. The net positive surface charge increased with increasing amounts of DMAEMA. Confocal images showed fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) could penetrate into cationic dextran microspheres but not natural dextran microspheres. TT loading efficiency by post-loading was higher compared with by pre-loading. Even though TT is incorporated in the hydrogel network based on electrostatic interaction, still a controlled release can be achieved by varying the initial network density of the microspheres.
