Superoxide dismutase(SOD) was purified from Tegillarca granosa and the effects of tributyltin chloride(TBTCl) on the enzyme activity of the SOD were analyzed at different conditios. The results showed that the effects of TBTCl on SOD activity were more ohvious at room temperature than at four degrees centigrade. 58. 1 % of the enzyme activity was reserved after SOD was incubated with 200?g?mL-1 of TBTC1 for 72 hours at room temperature, while 90. 9% of the enzyme activity was reserved at four degrees centigrade. The enzyme activity of SOD was reduced with the increase of TBTC1 concentration and interaction time. TBTCl could reduce heat-resisting, acid-resisting and alkali-resisting abilities of SOD. With TBTCl concentration increase,SOD isozyme bands in the graph of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were getting weaker.

Objective To explore the mechanism of notch signaling pathway in the treatment of cervical cancer with notch receptor blocker(DAPT).Methods After treatment of Me180 cells with different concentrations of DAPT combined with curcumin-photodynamic therapy (PDT),3-(4,5 Dimethylthiazlo-yl)-2,5 Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 dipheny tetrazo lium bromide(MTT)assay was used to detect the effect on the proliferation of Me180 cells,annexin V-FITC/PI combined with flow cytometry was used to detect the effect on apoptosis,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of Notch1 gene respectively.Results Both DAPT(1.0 μmol/L)and curcumin-PDT groups could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of cervical cancer cell line Me180,and the synergistic effect of the two groups was significant (P<0.05 or<0.01).DAPT and curcumin-PDT group reduced the mRNA expression level of Notch1 in cervical cancer Me180 cells with inhibition ratio of 40.0% and 32.3% respectively.DAPT and curcumin-PDT group inhibited the protein expressions of Notch1,nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-kB),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),and the synergistic effect of the two groups was statistically significant.Conclusions Both DAPT and curcumin-PDT may effectively block the conduction of Notch signaling pathway,which is associated with down-regulation of the expression of Notch1 and NF-kappa B.Notch signaling pathway may be one of the targets of curcumin photodynamic therapy.

Transthoracic echocardiographic characteristics of 17 cases of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), a rare disease in China, were analyzed in order to improve the understanding of the disease. Seventeen cases of biopsy-proven CA, admitted to Wuhan Union Hospital from June 1994 to September 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty normal volunteers served as control group. Left atrial and ventricular functions and mitral inflow velocity were measured by two-dimensional, and Doppler echocardiography, and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)-derived peak systolic wall motion velocities (Sv), peak early diastolic wall motion velocities (Ev), and peak late diastolic wall motion (Av) were measured at the septum, lateral, inferior and anterior corners of mitral annulus from the apical 4- and 2 chamber views. Compared with the control group, the interventricular septal thickness (IVSd), the left ventricular posterior wall (LVPWd), right ventricular transverse diameter (RVTDd) near the end of diastole and the interauricular septum thickness (IASs), left atrial anteroposterior diameter (LAADs), right atrial transverse diameter (RATDs) near the end of systole were increased significantly (all P<0.05) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreased (P<0.05) in the CA group. Compared with the control group, Sv, Ev at each wall and Av at almost all walls were significantly decreased in the CA group. In the CA group, Myocardial echoes of interventricular septum and free wall of left ventricle were enhanced evidently and distributed unevenly. The echoes presented as ground glass-like images, with some spotty hyper echoes. Both atria were enlarged, and LVEF decreased, with diastolic function impaired, and mild-moderate hydropericardium found in the CA group. It was concluded that echocardiography was a relatively sensitive and highly specific non-invasive method for the diagnosis of CA.

Objective To study the plasma metabolomics features of SD rats with wei-qi deficiency respectively in spring, summer, autumn and winter; To seek the potential markers related to wei-qi deficiency; To discuss the essence of wei-qi deficiency.MethodsTwenty male SD rats were adaptively fed 7 days before Chinese Vernal Equinox Day, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, synchronous controled with temporal condition. The rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups according to random number method. Rats in the experimental groupwere made into wei-qi deficiency models through fatigue stimulation alternately with cold and heat stimulation. Blood was collected at 12:00 each solar term. High performance liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry instrument was used to detect plasma metabolites. Partial least squates-discriminant analysis was used to process statistical analysis of the data to compared the original data of plasma metabolomics between the two groups of each season, and explore the difference metabolic markers between each two groups, then speculate the potential biomakers of wei-qi differency.ResultsWith the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, significant differences were showed in metabolic profile between the experimental and control groups. Homocysteine showed a significant difference in spring, summer and autumn; Ceramide showed a significant difference in summer and winter; Testosterone showed a significant difference in spring and summer; Cyclic guanosine monophosphate showed a significant difference in autumn and winter; Sarcosine showed a significant difference in spring, summer and winter. The physiological functions of these substances related to lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter and hormone regulation.ConclusionPotential biomakers of wei-qi deficiency changed along with the seasonal variation, which mainly reflected in lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter and hormone regulation.

Objective:To identify proteins associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) metastasis,and provide scientific basis for the prevention and cure of NPC.Methods:A two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were performed to screen for differential proteins between highly metastatic 5-8F and non-metastatic 6-10B NPC cell lines.Western blot was used to confirm the differential proteins.We used siRNA to inhibit the expression of differential protein nm23-H1 to determine the association of nm23-H1 with NPC in vitro invasive ability.Immunohistochemistry and statistics were used to evaluate the correlation of nm23-H1 expression with clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes in paraffin-embedded archival tissues including 93 cases of primary NPC and 20 cases of cervical lymphonode metastatic NPC (LMNPC).Results:A total of 15 differential proteins in the 2 cell lines were identified by a proteomic approach,and 3 differential proteins were selectively confirmed.Downregulation of nm23-H1 by siRNA significantly increased the in vitro invasive ability of 6-10B.Significant nm23-H1 downregulation was observed in LMNPC compared with primary NPC.nm23-H1 downregulation in primary NPC was positively correlated with lymphonode and distant metastasis,advanced clinical stage and recurrence.Survival curves showed that patients with nm23-H1 downregulation in primary NPC had a poor prognosis.Multivariate analysis confirmed that nm23-H1 expression level in primary NPC was an independent prognostic indicator.Conclusion:nm23-H1 behaves as a metastasis suppressor in NPC,and nm23-H1 downregulation is a biomarker for poor NPC prognosis.
