AIM:To investigate the possible mechanism of magnolol on the damage of PC12 cell induced by the addition of 6-OHDA placed in an incubator for 24 h with rat's pheochromocytoma cell of adrenal medulla in the absence and presence of magnolol. METHODS:Cell viability was measured by MTT method. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and aspartate-specific cysteine proteases-3 (Caspase-3) concentration(s) were assayed by fluorescence spectrophotometer. RESULTS:Cell activity declined sharply by the addition of 6-OHDA at concentration of 100 ?mol/L,the pre-treatment of magnolol(0.1~10 ?mol/L)could significantly increase the PC12 cell activity and prevent the increased ROS and caspase-3. CONCLUSION:Magnolol may protect the cell trauma induced by 6-OHDA,and the mechanism is related to inhibiting the 6-OHDA-induced elevation in intracellular ROS levels and reducing the caspase-3 activity.

Objective:To establish a method for the determination of residual triethylamine in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Methods:The residual treithylamine was determined by GC with an Agilent DB-624 capillary column(30 m × 0. 53 mm,3 μm)and an FID detector. The carrier gas was nitrogen and the flow rate was 2. 0 ml · min-1 . The oven temperature was programming in-creased. The initial column temperature was 50℃,and then raised to 220℃ at a rate of 10℃·min-1 ,and maintained 4 min. Trieth-ylamine was quantified by an external standard. Results:The calibration showed a good linearity within the range of 53. 02-742. 34 μg ·ml-1 for triethylamine. The correlation coefficient was 0. 999 8. The recoveries were within the range of 96. 52%-102. 27%. The relative standard deviation(RSD)was 2. 42%(n=9). Conclusion:The method has good specificity,repeatability and sensitivity, which can be used in determining the content of residual trietbylamine in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

Background and purpose: Bladder cancer is the most common urological malignancy in our country which seriously threatens human health, and its incidence increased year by year. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hinokitiol on the proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy in human bladder cancer cell lines. Methods:CCK-8 assays were performed to analyze the effects of hinokitiol on the proliferation of J82 cells. Apoptosis rate was determined by lfow cytometry. Cleaved caspase 3, LC3 and P62 protein expression was determined using Western blot. EGFP-LC3 microscopy assay was performed to assess autophagy. Results: Hinokitiol significantly inhibited the proliferation of J82 cells and induced cell apoptosis via caspase pathway. The apoptosis effect of hinokitiol could be partially antagonized by Z-VAD-FMK. Hinokitiol induced autophagy of J82 cells, increased LC3 expression and down-regulated P62 expression. 3-MA is able to rescue Tet-induced cell death. Conclusion:Hinokitiol can inhibit the proliferation of J82 cells and induce cell apoptosis via autophagy activation.

The initial time window of callus appearance was 3 to 9 weeks and the mean time was(6.5 ± 1.6)weeks. The fracture union time was 8 to 24 weeks and the mean time was(15.0 ± 5.2)weeks. One patient with distal humeral comminuted fracture had non-infec-tious delayed healing wound.One case of hemolytic staphylococcus in incision was cultured. Conclusion Calcium sulfate degrades rapidly,cautions should be taken for the application in the superficial bone.

Objective :To study mutation of Ps3 gene and its relationship with histologic grade and Dukes' stage in colorectal cancer. Methods :PCR-SSCP was used to detect mutations of Ps3 in 30 colorectal cancer patients. Results: It was found that 6 mutations (20. 0%) in the coding region of P53 gene. One mutation was located in exon4; 5 mutations were located in exon 5; none of mutation was found in exon 2 and 3. According to the histologic grade of of colorectal cancer,the frequencies of P53 gene mutation were 1/8 (12. 5%) in the well differentiated and in the moderately differentiated as well,3/10 (30. 0%) in the poorly differenctiated and 1/4 (25.0%) in the undifferentiated. In clinic, the frequencies of P53 gene mutation were associated with Dukes stage: 1/10 (10. 0 % ) in B stage, 2/12 (16. 7%) in C Stage,3/8(37. 5%) in D stage. Conclusion:The mutation of P53 gene is related to Dukes' stage,and the P53 gene mutation hardly occurs in exon 2,3 in coloretal cancer.

The Effect of arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) on myelomonocytic progenitor cells of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome was studied. Bone marrow CFU-GM was assayed in the agar semi-solid culture, and the bone marrow cells were incubated in liquid culture and the expressions of CD33, CD15 and bcl-2 on the marrow cells were detected by APAAP method in 24 patients. The suppressive effects of As(2)O(3) to CFU-GM were increased with the rise of As(2)O(3) concentrations. The suppression of As(2)O(3) (0.388 micro mol/L) to cluster formation was stronger than to colony formation, the suppressive rates were 70.78% vs 34.05% in low-risk group, and 86.76% vs 65.86% in high-risk group (P < 0.01), respectively. 0.194 micro mol/L of As(2)O(3) decreased clusters and increased colonies in low-risk group, but decreased clusters and did not change colonies in high-risk group. High concentration (1.94 micro mol/L) of As(2)O(3) downregulated the expression rate of CD33 and CD15 in both groups, and low concentration (0.194 micro mol/L) downregulated the expression rate of CD33 and upregulated the expression rate of CD15 in low-risk group, but decreased expression of CD33 and did not alter CD15 in high-risk group. At the same time, the high concentration of As(2)O(3) downregulated expression of bcl-2 and resulted in karyopyknosis and cytoplasm condensation; low concentration generated similar effect on expression of bcl-2 and cell morphology in high-risk group, but did not affect in low-risk. It is concluded that As(2)O(3) suppressed myelopoiesis and impelled myelomonocytic cells to apoptosis, low concentration of As(2)O(3) induced the proliferation and differentiation of myelomonocytic cells in low-risk group, however, suppressed the growth of myelomonocytic cells and accelerated the cells apoptosis in high-risk group.

[Abstract] Objective: To explore the pathogenosis and prognostic markers for non-smoking female lung cancer patients with bioinfor‐
matics analysis and functional prediction of potential lung cancer associated genes in female non-smokers. Methods: Data for nonsmoking female patients with lung cancer were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and the differentially
expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using GEO2R. DAVID online data base was used to perform gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto
encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG), and STRING online software was used to perform protein-protein interaction (PPI)
analysis; then the plug-in (M-CODE) was used to screen the key DEGs; finally, GEPIA and Kaplan-Meier plotter were used to perform
function prediction and prognosis analysis of key DEGs. Results: A total of 160 DEGs were screened, including 54 up-regulated and
106 down-regulated genes; GO enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were mainly related to neovascularization, single cell adhesion, positive regulation of GTPase activity and signal transduction (all P<0.05). KEGG pathway analysis revealed that DEGs were
mainly involved in cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), leukocyte transendothelial migration, tight junction and endocytosis (all P<0.05);
PPI network analysis revealed 8 key DEGs, including TIE1, PECAM1, CLDN5, VEGFD, ICAM2, ESAM, EMCN and ROBO4.
Conclusion: TIE1, CLDN5, ICAM2, ESAM, VEGFD and ROBO4 may be the research targets of the pathogenesis of non-smoking
female lung cancer patients. PECAM1 and EMCN may be the new bio-markers to predict the progression and prognosis of nonsmoking female lung cancer patients.
