OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)at different time in the process of simvastatin-induced apoptosis of K562 cells.METHODS:K562 cells cultivated by routine method for 24h were treated in the 20? mol? L-1 simvastatin for 12,24,48,and 72h,respectively.And theh cell morphological changes were observed.Vitality of K562 cells was detected with MTT;flow cytometry were performed to detect cell apoptotic ratio and changes of mitochondrial membrane potential,and the detection results were compared with those in solvent control group.RESULTS:As compared with control group,the morphology changes of K562 cells such as karyopyconosis,nuclear fragmentation and apoptotic body emerged after treatment with 20? mol? L-1 simvastatin for 48h;the apoptotic ratio at 12,24,48,and 72h increased by(2.55? 0.35)%,(6.1? 0.35)%,(14.15? 0.42)%,and(30.70? 0.65)%,respectively;and the apoptotic ratio of K562 cells increased time-dependently.The cell membrane potential was decreased by(0.7? 0.24)%,(39.6? 4.80)%,(24.4? 2.45)%,and(6.0? 1.62)%,respectively,with that at 24h showing the highest decreasing rate.CONCLUSION:The change of MMP is the early events of apoptosis.The potential mechanism of K562 cells apoptosis induced by simvastatin might be related to the collapse of MMP.

Based on the peak value of power spectral density (PPSD) and corresponding frequency (CF), an approach that performs electroencephalogram (EEG) feature extraction during imaginary right and left hand movements was proposed. The data were gained from brain computer interface competition in 2003 provided by Graz University of Technology. The EEG signals between 8-16 Hz were decomposed by db3 wavelet packet at three levels. The PPSD and CF of electrodes C3 and C4 were defined as the EEG feature vectors and calculated respectively. The left and right hand motor imaginary tasks were distinguished by the time-variable linear classifier. The proposed method was applied to the test data for 140 trials. The satisfactory results were obtained with the highest classification accuracy 89.29%. The maximum mutual information was 0.622 8 bit, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was 1.371 3. The PPSD and its CF on electrodes C3 and C4 between 8 and 16 Hz were coincident with event-related desynchronization (ERD) and event-related synchronization (ERS). This method is simple, quick, and promising for on-line brain computer interface system.

Objective:To construct a prokaryotic expression plasmid containing HCVF gene,and purify the recombinant fusion protein in E.coli system. Methods: F gene of Hepatitis C virus was amplified by PCR method from plasmid H/FL(containing full length cDNA sequence of HCV 1a subtype),cloned into pET32a(+)vector,and then transformed into E.coli JM109. After identified by restriction diges- tion and DNA sequencing,recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21 and induced with IPTG. The fusion protein trxA- F was further confirmed by Western blot analysis and purified by affinity chromatography method. Results: Restriction digestion and PCR screening showed that HCV F gene was cloned into pET32a(+)successfully. After BL21 was transformed with recombinant vector pET32a (+)- HCVF and induced with 0.5mmol/L IPTG,a 35.4kDprotein band was found bySDS- PAGE. And this recombinant protein showed a highly specific and strong reaction with anti- His monoclonal antibody by Western blot analysis. Conclusion: The prokaryotic expression plasmid pET32a(+)- HCVF was successfully constructed,which will be helpful for further research.
