Objective To explore the regulatory effects of thioredoxin on chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells. Methods RT-PCR was employed to clone the full-length cDNA of thioredoxin (Trx) from human drug-resistant gastric cancer cell line SGC7901/VCR. The sense and antisense eukaryotic expression vectors corresponding Trx were constructed and transduced into gastric cancer cells SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR by lipofectamine, respectively. MTT assay was used to evaluate the sensitivity of gene-transfected gastric cancer cells and control cells to anti-cancer drugs in vitro. Results The results indicated that SGC7901 cells transfected with Trx sense vector showed significantly decreased sensitivity to vincristine, cisplatin and adriamycin, while SGC7901/VCR transfected with Trx antisense vector showed significantly increased sensitivity to these drugs. Conclusion All these data suggested that Trx might participate in the formation of multidrug resistance of gastric cancer cells and alteration of Trx could regulate chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells.

Objective To explore the differences between patients withchronic mountain sickness (CMS) and healthy people in the microstructure of brain gray and white matter by using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). Methods 21 CMS patients were recruited to a study group and 20 healthy volunteers were assigned to a control group. Both groups received conventional MRI and DKI sequence scans. The mean kurtosis (MK) values ,radial kurtosis (RK) values and kurtosis anisotropy (KA) values in each region of interest (ROI) in the cerebral gray and white matter were measured and the same part of the left and right side ROI parameters was counted. The data satisfied the normal distribution and the paired samples t?test was used;the ROI parameters between the two groups in the same parts of the same side followed the normal distribution and the two independent samples t?test was used. Results The KA values in both sides of the anterior limb of internal capsule ,the MK values and RK values in bilateral caudate nucleus head and thalamus had side difference in CMS group. In both sides of the anterior limb of the internal capsule′s MK values,KA values and thalamus′s MK values,RK values existed side difference in the control group. The KA values of the right anterior limb in internal capsule were lower than those in the left in both groups;the right thalamus′s MK values and RK values were higher than the other side. The RK value in genu of corpus callosum differed significantly ,and it was lower the CMS group than in the control group. The difference of the KA values in corpus callosum ,the MK value in the left anterior limb of internal capsule ,the RK values in the left posterior limb of internal capsule ,the MK values in the right caudate nucleus head ,the MK values in bilateral lenticular nucleus and the MK values and KA values in the right thalamus were significant ,and they were higher inthe CMS group than in the control group. Conclusions The left and right cerebral hemispheric micro?structure is not exactly symmetrical between patients with CMS and healthy people living in high altitude areas , there are differences in some brain areas. The sensitivity and reactivity of brain tissue to high altitude hypoxia are different in patients with CMS ,there are various degrees of difference between the CMS and the normal in the corpus callosum,basal ganglia region and thalamus.

Objective:To study the expression of COX-2 and Survivin in HCC tissues and their relationship for supplying experimental evidence for gene diagnosis and treatment of HCC.Methods:The expression of COX-2 and Survivin was detected in 30 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and 10 normal liver tissue by Flow cytometry (FCM) and immunohistochemistry (SP).Results:Two experimental methods showed that the positive expression of COX-2 and Survivin in HCC was significanly higher than that in normal liver tissue and there was significanly positive correlation between the expression of COX-2 and Survivin.Conclusion:The hyper-expression of COX-2 and Survivin in tissue can reflex the biological behavior of HCC and there are synergistic effect between them during the development of HCC.A possible mechanism is inhibition of tumor cell apoptosis through upregulating Survivin by COX-2,and promoting abnormal cell proliferation in development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

This study is to investigate the protective effect of rosiglitazone (RSG) against learning and memory impairment of APP/PS1/tau transgenic mice. AD mice model was replicated by using 6-month APP/PS1/tau transgenic mice. The learning and memory ability of mice was evaluated by Morris water maze and Western blotting assays was applied to measure the phosphorylation and O-glycosylation of Tau and neurofilaments (NFs) protein. The results demonstrated that RSG could reverse the learning and memory deficits of 3 x Tg mice significantly. It was also found that RSG could suppress the hyperphosphorylation of Tau and NFs protein levels and increase the glycosylation expression of Tau and NFs proteins in 3 x Tg mice brain. Together, RSG ameliorates cognitive impairments of 3 x Tg mice via the alleviation of the hyperphosphorylated Tau and NFs proteins burden in the brain.

Objective To investigate the realationship between resting heart rate(RHR) and carotid arterial intima-media thickness(IMT)in senile patients with essential hypertension.Methods All 164 elderly essential hypertensive patients were divided into three groups according to the levels of blood pressure(BP): the first group,140/90 mmHg≤SBP

Objective:To explore the effect of sub-inhibitory concentration of imipenem on the bio-activities of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and illuminate the inhibitory effects of carbapenem antibioty on the activity of MRSA and their mechanisms,and to provide the basis for using the carbapenem antibiotics in the treatment of MRSA infection.Methods:Five ST239 type of MRSA clinical isolates were selected and were co-cultured with 1/10 and 1/2 minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of imipenem for 1.5,6.0 and 12.0 h,which were divided into control group(no imipenem),1/10MIC group(1/10MIC of imipenem),and 1/2MIC group(1/2MIC of imipenem).Fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR method was used to determine the relative mRNA expression levels of virulence-related genes fibronectin A(fnbA),staphylococcal protein A(spa),α-hemolysin(Hla),leukocidin D(lek-D),leukocidin E(lek-E),and enterotoxin A in various groups;Spectrophotometry was used to detect the proliferation activity of MRSA strains in various groups in vitro.Results:After co-culture for 6.0 and 12.0 h,the proliferation activities of 5 trains of MRSA in 1/2MIC group in vitro were significantly decreased compared with control group (P<0.01).The relative mRNA expression levels of 6 virulence-related genes of 5 strains of MRSA in 1/10MIC and 1/2MIC groups were significantly decreased compared with control group(P<0.01).After co-culture for 12.0 h,the mRNA expressions of all the tested virulence-related genes were not found.Conclusion:The sub-inhibitory concentration of imipenem shows obviously inhibitory effect on the mRNA expressions of multiple virulence-related genes of ST 239 type of MRSA strains,and higher concentration of imipenem can suppress the proliferation of MRSA strains in vitro.Imipenem shows the potential value in the treatment of the severe MRSA infected patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of early systemic nursing intervention applied by ward nurse on constipation among patients with depression. Methods A total of 144 participants were divided into the intervention group (72 cases) andthe control group (72 cases) by random number table. Except for a period of 4 weeks routine nursing and 4 weeks follow-up observation which were applied for control subjects, systemic nursing interventions werealso conducted inintervention patients. The incidence of constipation and constipation symptom scoreswere measured at the ends of the 4th and 8th week of treatment. Results The incidences of constipation and constipation symptom scores of the 4th and 8th weekend in the intervention group were 17.6% (12/68), 6.59 ± 4.08, 23.5% (16/68) and 6.81 ± 3.99 respectively. While in the control group they were 34.9%(22/63), 8.84 ± 4.45, 44.4%(28/63) and 10.52 ± 3.86 respectively. These differences between two groups at the 4th and 8th weekend were all significant (χ2=5.077, t=3.023, P < 0.05 and χ2=6.413, t=5.411, P < 0.05, respectively). Compared with the 4th weekend, in the 8th weekend, constipation rate and scores of constipation symptom were increased in thecontrol group (P < 0.05), but not in theintervention group (t=-1.965, P > 0.05). Conclusions In patients with depression, early systemic nursing intervention can effectively ameliorate the constipation caused by amitriptyline.

Objective To investigate the effects of type 2 diabetes on learning and memory of APP/PS1/Tau triple transgenic (3 × Tg) mice of Alzheimer’s disease, and the protective mechanism of liraglutide (LIR) thereof. Methods One month old C57BL/6 mice were set to be control group (WT). One month old 3×Tg mice were divided into control group (Tg), liraglutide group (Tg+LIR), type 2 diabetes group (Tg+T2DM) and liraglutide treatment group (Tg+T2DM+LIR). The model of T2DM was established by feeding the high fat and sugar fodder, and then injecting streptozotocin (STZ) in mice, making sure the fasting blood glucose was more than 7 mmol/L. Then the subcutaneous injection of LIR was administered for 2 months. The values of body weight and fasting blood glucose were detected at age of 5-month. Morris water maze was applied to evaluate the spatial learning and memory ability. Western blotting assay was used to measure the levels of phosphorylated Tau, neurofilament (NFs) and insulin receptor substrates. ELISA was used to detect the human Aβ42 to evaluate the effect of LIR on-amyloid. Results LIR can reduce body weight and blood glucose, can alleviate spatial learning and memory damaging caused by T2DM, and also can improve phosphorylated Tau levels, NFs and insulin receptor substrates caused by T2DM, and finally can reduce the deposition ofβ-amyloid of 3 × Tg mice. Conclusion T2DM can aggravate symptoms of AD in 3×Tg mice, and LIR has a protective effect on it.
