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.

Objective To investigate the effect of ceftidine in operating room intervention and its effect on the quality of intervention. Methods Select 2016 May to May 2017, hangzhou normal university affiliated hospital operating room of our hospital, 366 cases of patients with skull, 2 groups randomly divided into two groups, control group routine surgery, the team combined use of cephalosporins he totally, compared two groups of two groups patients therapeutic effect. Results The intracranial infection was significantly lower in the two groups than in the control group (P<0.05). In the two groups, the number of live bacteria and the comparison of enzyme value were significantly lower than that in the control group (P <0.05). Intervention quality compared two groups of 2 groups of patients, the team of PCT in patients with calcitonin (former) and CRP (CRP), TNF alpha (tumor necrosis factor alpha) and white blood cell count were significantly lower than control group (P< 0.05). Conclusion Children with oral ulcer treatment, the therapeutic effect of smecta ideal, clinical application shall be the head to prevent the use of cephalosporins in patients with surgical intervention in the operating room he totally, can improve the quality of intervention, reduce the incidence of infection.

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.

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.
