6.Two Conformations of Native Pseudomonas aeruginosa Apoazurin in Solution
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;33(6):567-573
The mechanism of complex unfolding process of Pseudomonas aeruginosa apoazurin is an arguing problem. Recent published results indicated that this problem could be resolved by hypothesizing two native conformations coexisting in solution.Urea-induced unfolding of apoazurin was investigated further using intrinsinc fluorescence and CD spectra. Equilibrium unfolding curves in urea could be depicted with an apparent two-state transition, but a biphase kinetic process. The fast unfolding process is finished within a few seconds as monitored by stopped-flow fluorescence intensity, whereas the slow process requires several hours for as well as the circular dichroism spectra just after manual mixing of protein and denaturant could be simulated by superposition of the spectra of the native and fully unfolded protein with the same coefficient of 0.37. This strongly suggests the three-state mechanism with a partially unfolded intermediate on its pathway is inadequate. The hypothesis of two native conformations coexistence is a reasonable selection.
7.Effects of safflower oil on adipose-associated gene expression in mice
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2012;28(1):76-78
Seventy C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group,lard group,lard transferred into safflower oil group,and safflower oil group.After 20 weeks,the white adipose tissues were taken to analyse the gene differentiational expression prolife.The results showed that body weight,blood glucose and lipids,and insulin levels in lard group were higher than those in control group( all P<0.05 ),which were decreased after lard was transferred into safflower oil for 10 weeks( all P<0.05 ).Safflower oil regulated some of the orexigenic genes,anorectic genes,and the genes involved in energy expenditure in adipose tissues such as opioid receptor,glucagon,and PPARα.
8.SOX1 and tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(8):566-569
SOX1,a member of the SOX transcript factor super family,has been demonstrated having the functions of regulating the development of human embryonic neural system and crystalline lens,and the additional function of SOX1 in tumors are attracting more and more attention as well.It is reported in resent years that SOX1 is detected lowly expressed in many kinds of tumor issues,which owns to the methylation of SOX1.SOX1 can also regulate the abilities of tumors on proliferation,invasion and migration.Besides,SOX1 may play a crucial role in regulation of the differentiation of cancer stem cells.Further research of SOX1 and its function among related pathways may contribute to seeking for new therapies for tumor treatment.

10.Effect of weight self-management among reproductive-aged obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Modern Clinical Nursing 2014;(12):19-23
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of weight self-management in reproductive-aged obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods A total of 56 reproductive-aged obese women with PCOS were divided into two groups with the control group administered medicine to reduce the lipid,blood glucose and metformin and the experiment group managed with weight self-management in addition of the medicine treatment as in the control group.All of them were treated for six months.The number of women with oligomenorrhea,body mass index(BMI),waist-hip ratio(WHR),serum total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),fasting blood glucose(FBG), fasting insulin(FINS),homeostasis model assessment(HOMA)were measured before and after intervention for comparisons.Result The number of women with oligomenorrhea together with the levels of TC,TG,FBG,FINS and HOMA were significantly reduced in the two groups(allP<0.05),and the number of women with oligomenorrhea and the levels of BMI,TC and HOMA were decreased more than those in the control group(allP<0.05).Conclusion The weight self-management on the basis of drug therapy for reproductive-aged obese women with PCOS can significantly reduce the levels of BMI,WHR,TC,TG,FBG,FINS and HOMA,enhance the effect of drug therapy, reduce the incidence of oligomenorrhea and improve the metabolic disorders.
