Objective To observe the effects of arsenic trioxide(As2O3)on the expressions of TNF-?,Fas and bcl-2 in lung adenocarcinoma cells(LAC)and to explore the mechanism of arsenic trioxide inducing apoptosis.Methods The expressions of TNF-?,Fas and bcl-2 in lung adenocarcinoma cells pretreated by arsenious acid were determined by the double antibody sandwich ABC-ELISA method.Results Compared with the control group,As2O3 showed no effects on the contents of bcl-2 in lung adenocarcinoma cells after 72 hours treatment,but increased the contents of TNF-? and Fas significantly,and the effects in different concentration groups had significant differences.The protein expressions of TNF-? and Fas showed a tendency of concentration-dependent increasing.Conclusions The results suggest that As2O3 induces the apoptosis of LAC cells possibly by up-regulating the expression of TNF-? and Fas.

BACKGROUND:cells under mechanical stimulation can achieve their biological functions by converting mechanical signals into chemical signals through certain signal transduction mechanism. As the fibrous framework throughout a cell, cytoskeleton is one of the critical components in this process.
OBJECTIVE:Through systemical y analyzing the role of the cytoskeleton in mechanical signal transduction, to provide a potential therapeutic target for the clinical treatment of cytoskeleton related diseases.
METHODS:In order to search relevant articles about the mechanics mechanism of signal transduction of cytoskeleton from PubMed and CNKI databases (from 1990 to 2012), a computer-based search was performed, using the key words of“cytoskeleton, microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, mechanical stimulation, signal transduction”in English and Chinese, respectively. After eliminating literatures which were irrelevant to research purpose or containing a similar content, 48 articles were chosen for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mechanical stimulation plays an important role in cellproliferation, development and apoptosis. With the gradual understanding of the biological function of cytoskeleton, people have found that cytoskeleton is one of the critical components in the process of the mechanical signal transduction. After getting mechanical stimulation, cytoskeleton can be reorganized through Rho, protein kinase C, integrin and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways, then converting the mechanical stimulation to chemical signals and finishing its biological functions final y.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of naloxone combined with edaravone on acute alcoholism. Methods One hundred and twenty-five patients with acute alcoholism were randomly divided into the control and treatment groups. The control group accepted conventional treatment and taking naloxone, while the treatment group accepted edaravone on the basis. Before and after treatment,the treatment recovery time,recovery respiratory rate time and symptom disappearance time were recorded. The malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S-100βand vascular cell adhesion points-1 (VCAM-1) were detected. Results After treatment,the recovery time and recovery respiratory rate time of the treatment group were significantly shorter than those of the control group ( <0.05) . In the control group, S-100β was significantly improved after treatment ( <0.05) . NSE, S-100β, VCAM-1 and MDA have significantly decreased ( <0.05) after treatment in the treatment group. Compared with the control group, there were significant differences of S-100β,VCAM-1 and MDA in the treatment group before and after treatment (<0.05) . While SOD and GSH have significantly increased ( <0.05) after treatment and showed significant differences compared with the control group ( <0.05) . Conclusion Naloxone and edaravone combination therapy can improve oxidative stress and nerve damage, which help early rehabilitation in patients with acute alcoholism.

Messenger RNA was isolated directly from lung cancer cell line A549 using magnetic particles. First strand synthesis from mRNA was driven by M-MLV(Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus) reverse transcriptase and random hexam-eric primer, followed by second strand synthesis using RNase H and DNA polymerase I After treatment with T4 DNA polymerase to flush the ends, the double-stranded cDNA was cloned into the plasmid expression vector digested with EcoRI and followed by removing cohesive end. The number of independent clones of the resulting cDNA library was about 9.0 x 105. The estimated percentage of colonies with inserts was about 85 % . The insert size ranges from 0.5 kb ~ 4 kb. The CPP32 gene coding for death protease was obtained by PCR with the cDNA library from lung cancer cells as a template for the first time. Construction of the cDNA library laid a foundation for screening other genes regulating death of lung cancer cells.
