Objective To investigate the toxicity and transfection efficiency of PEI-mediated plasmid DNA encoding myocilin (MYOC) gene transfected into trabecular meshwork.Design Experimental study.Participants SD rats.Methods PEI and plasmid encoding MYOC gene complex was prepared and 20?l PEI/DNA complex was directly injected into anterior chamber of SD rat by microinjection. The eyes were extracted at day 1,3,7,and 14 after injection for the structure analysis of trabecular meshwork by HE staining and transmission electron microscope.Expression of the transferred myocilin gene was monitored by fluorescence microscopy. Main Outcome Measures HE staining,immunohistochemistry and electron microscope.Results No significant toxicity or inflammation was detected under the HE staining and electron microscope.PEI/DNA complex were seen in cytoplasm of trabecular meshwork cells. The fluorescence intensity of myocilin expression in the trabecular meshwork cells was increasing with time and peaked on clays 3 and declined afterward.Conclusion Plasmid DNA mediated by PEI could be efficiently transfected into trabecular meshwork cells by directly injecting into anterior chamber without any toxicity.

Objective To construct a lentivirus vector for RNA interference targeting myosin Va gene and to observe its effect on motility and migration of human pulmonary giant cell carcinoma PG cells. Methods Based on the efficient target sequence for myosin Va RNAi, two pairs of oligo DNA containing myosin Va RNAi target sequence or scramble sequence were synthesized and inserted into pSuper vector, followed by sequence analysis. The expressing cassette H1 promoter-shM5A/shCON from the recombinant pSuper plasmid was then transferred to the lentivirus vector plenti4, and the recombinant lentivirus was packaged. PG cells were transduced with the packaged lentivirus and the positive cells were screened by zeocin selection. RT-PCR was performed to determine the myosin Va RNAi efficiency in zeocin-resistant PG cells, and wounding assay and Boyden chamber assay were utilized to examine the capabilities of motility and migration in myosin Va RNAi PG cells. Results Restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed the successful construction of the lentivirus vector containing myosin Va RNAi target or scramble sequence. RT-PCR result showed that myosin Va mRNA levels were remarkably reduced in lentivirus-based myosin Va RNAi PG cells. The abilities of motility and migration were also significantly inhibited in lentivirus-based myosin Va RNAi PG cells, as demonstrated in wounding assay and Boyden chamber assay.Conclusion Myosin Va RNAi lentivirus vector was successfully constructed and efficiently repressed myosin Va expression in PG cells. Repression of myosin Va by RNAi led to the inhibition of PG cells motility and migration, indicating that there might exist correlation between the expression of myosin Va and cancer progression.

In the bioelectric measurement, the electrode impedance detection is an important index to the signal quality evaluation and sensor electrode contact condition. In this paper, a method of accurately measuring the electrode impedance based on EEG measurement system was put forward, the method is based on the constant current source excitation signals which are added to the human body, by monitoring the human voltage to measure the electrode impedance. And different reference resistor calibration calculation in different sections was used to reduce the effect of constant current source on the precision of measurement results to improve the measurement accuracy.

Objective To strengthen the scientific management of automatic processor and promote QC, based on analyzing QC management chart for automatic processor by statistical method, evaluating and interpreting the data and trend of the chart. Methods Speed, contrast, minimum density of step wedge of film strip were measured everyday and recorded on the QC chart. Mean ( ), standard deviation ( s ) and range(R) were calculated. The data and the working trend were evaluated and interpreted for management decisions. Results Using relative frequency distribution curve constructed by measured data, we can judge whether it is a symmetric bell shaped curve or not. If not, it indicates a few extremes overstepping control limits possibly are pulling the curve to the left or right. If it is a normal distribution, standard deviation( s ) is observed. When ?2s lies in upper and lower control limits of relative performance indexes, it indicates the processor works in stable status in this period. Conclusion Guided by statistical method, QC work becomes more scientific and quantified. We can deepen understanding and application of the trend chart, and improve the quality management to a new step.

OBJECTIVE: Investigate the effect of oxidative stress on the occurrence and development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma associated with smoking, and the clinical diagnostic value of catalase on smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. METHOD: Collecting 119 smokers(including the smoking related laryngeal cancer group 68 cases, the control group 51 cases), the indexes of catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), nitric oxide (NO) in blood plasma and cancerous tissue in two groups were compared. The association between these oxidative stress indicators and the occurrence and severity of smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was analysised by SPSS 17.0. RESULT: (1) Compared with control group, the smoke frequency and amount, CAT, MDA, GSH increased significantly in the smoking related laryngeal cancer group (P = 0.000; 0.000; 0.000; 0.000; 0.000); whereas SOD, NO decreased (P = 0.000; 0.000). (2) The lower the differentiation degree, the higher the serum CAT (P = 0.000) and the higher CAT, MDA, GSH of larynx tissue (P = 0.000; 0.000; 0.000), but the lower the serum NO (P = 0.000) and the lower SOD, NO of larynx tissue (P = 0.000; 0.000); The higher the clinical stage, the higher CAT of serum and larynx tissue and the higher GSH of larynx tissue (P = 0.000; 0.001), the lower NO of larynx tissue (P = 0.009). (3) The serum CAT, MDA were independent risk factors of smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OR = 1.060, 2.475; P < 0.01, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Oxidative stress is the key factor of the occurrence of smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and the CAT can be used as the indicator of clinical diagnosis of smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
