1. Regulatory effect of LKB1 gene on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in lung cancer cells
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;28(6):624-628
Objective: To investigate the regulatory role of LKB1 gene on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in lung cancer cell line A549. Methods: DNA fragment encoding LKB1 protein was amplified by Nest-PCR from human fetal brain cDNA library and was sub-cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3. 1. The recombinant vector was transferred into A549 cells by Lipofectamine and screened by G418. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to study the expression of LKB1, SP1 and VEGF in A549 cells. Transcription factor SP1 was silenced by small interference RNA (siRNA); RT-PCR and Western blot were applied to examine the changes of SP1 and VEGF gene. Results: DNA sequencing analysis revealed that the open reading frame of LKB1 gene was successfully cloned into the expression vector. Stable cell line of A549 expressing exogenous LKB1 was constructed. LKB1 remarkably suppressed SP1 and VEGF expression. SiRNA targeting SP1 effectively decreased the expression of SP1 and SP1 silencing caused remarkable down-regulation of VEGF expression. Conclusion: LKB1 can negatively regulate the expression of VEGF by negatively regulate the expression of transcription factor SP1.

Objective To observe effects of ginsenoside Rb1 on phosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein 2 (pMAP-2) in hippocampus and amygdala of depressive model rats. Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, model group and treatment group. The depression rat model was produced by giving chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS). Treatment group was given daily intragastric administration of ginsenoside RB 1 (1 g/mL crude drug, 1 mL/100 g body weight) for 22 days during modeling. Western blot assay was used to detect expressions of MAP-2 and pMAP-2 protein, and real-time PCR was used to detect expressions of pMAP-2 mRNA respectively. Results The expressions of pMAP-2 protein and mRNA in hippocampus and amygdala were significantly lower in model group than those of control group (P < 0.05). The expressions of pMAP-2 protein and mRNA were significantly higher in treatment group than those of model group (P<0.05). Conclusion Ginsenoside Rb1 can play anti-depression role by inhibiting the phosphorylation of MAP-2 in rats.

Neurolymphomatosis(NL) is characterized by lymphomatous infiltration of the peripheral nervous system. We report a case of neurolymphomatosis(NL) which was confirmed by sural nerve biopsy. Sural nerve specimen from a 49-year-old female patient with weakness of limbs was examined with routine histochemical and immunohistochemistry staining, in which the first antibodies against CD3, CD20, CD45, CD45RO and CD68 were used. Numerous T-lymphoma cells invaded in the adipose tissue of epineurium of sural nerve. The nerve biopsy showed marked axonal degeneration of myelinated fibers. The clinical and histopathologic findings confirmed the diagnosis of neurolymphomatosis.

Objective:To determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) recipients, and to study the efficacy and safety of Hp eradication therapy.Methods:13C-urea breath test was carried out between July 2018 and October 2019. There were 104 males and 26 females with an average age of 52.1 year for these LT recipients who were regularly followed-up in the Organ Transplant Center, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Propensity scoring was used to match age and gender in a ratio of 1∶3. A healthy group of individuals consisting of 299 males and 91 females, with an average age of 51.8 years, were selected as the control group also in a ratio of 1∶3. All patients underwent 13C-urea breath test to evaluate Hp infection and results of quadruple therapy. Results:The prevalence of Hp infection among the LT recipients was 18.5%(24/130) which was significantly lower than the control group 36.4% (142/390) (χ 2=14.400, P<0.001). Among the recipients who received LT and 13C-urea breath test for less than 1 year, 1-3 years and more than 3 years, the prevalences of Hp infection were 14.3% (6/42), 17.8%(8/45) and 23.3%(10/43), respectively. Although the prevalence of Hp showed a gradually increasing trend, no correlation between Hp infection and duration from LT was observed (χ 2=1.321, P=0.517). Seventeen Hp positive recipients underwent Hp eradication therapy. The success rate of Hp eradication was 100.0%(17/17). Immunosuppressant concentration was monitored regularly in 10 patients. During Hp eradication, the blood concentration of immunosuppressant increased from 1.7 to 3.6 times, and the drug dosage was reduced to one half to one third of what it was before Hp eradication. Seven of these 17 recipients suffered from adverse effects caused by increased levels of blood concentration of immunosuppressants, including headache, hypertension, insomnia and irritability. Normal liver and kidney functions were observed during eradication. Conclusion:In this study, the prevalence of Hp infection among liver transplant recipients was 18.5%. The success rate of Hp eradication was 100% using bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. The dosage of immunosuppressant required to be monitored, and if necessary, adjusted during eradication to reduce adverse side effects.

A series of isoindoline derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their double inhibitory activities. All of them were new compounds, and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and HR-MS. Preliminary in vitro pharmacological tests showed that all compounds exhibited 5-HT or NE reuptake inhibition activity. Among the tested compounds, compound I-3 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against 5-HT and NE reuptake in vitro, and exhibited potent antidepressant activity in vivo. These compounds designed can be further optimized for finding more potent 5-HT/NE dual reuptake inhibitors and antidepressant candidates as well.

Objective To investigate the effects of quiet respiratory intrathoracic pressure changes on ventricular dimensions and left ventricular systolic function,and to further verify our newly proposed hypothesis of the mechanism of respiratory effects on hemodynamics.Methods Twenty healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40 years average(24?7) years were included.The respiratory curve and electrocardiogram were simultaneously recorded.The interventricular septum movement,ventricular dimensions and ventricular systolic excursions were recorded by two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography during quiet respiration.The respiratory variations of the above parameters were derived,and the parameters for assessing ventricular systolic function were calculated.Results With quiet respiration,the interventricular septum moved towards the left ventricle on inspiration,and then towards the right ventricle on expiration.The right ventricular diastolic dimension increased significantly on inspiration compared with those on expiration.The opposite changes occurred with left ventricular diastolic dimensions.The left ventricular posterior wall systolic excursion and the left ventricular stroke volume significantly increased during expiration compared with those during inspiration.No significant differences were found in left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening between inspiration and expiration.Conclusions The respiratory intrathoracic pressure change is one of the factors influencing the reciprocal changes of the left and right ventricular parameters related to ventricular dimensions and systolic function.
