The recombinant plasmids pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 were transfected into Hela cells and cisplatin was added with different concentrations in order to study the inhibitory effects of Livin gene, increase the apoptosis induced by cisplatin, and detect the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and survivin genes. The pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 were transfected into Hela cells, and the expression levels of Livin, Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and survivin genes were detected by using fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR. Then cisplatin at different concentrations (3.0, 6.0 and 9.9 microg/mL) was added into the transfected Hela cells, and 24, and 48 h later, the apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry. After transfection of pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 into Hela cells, the expression level of Livin gene was obviously reduced, and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in transfection group as compared with control group (P<0.05). Cisplatin could increase the apoptosis rate in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After cisplatin was added, the expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA were reduced, and those of Bax, caspase-3, and survivin mRNA were increased in transfection group as compared with those in control group (P<0.05). It was concluded that shRNA expression vector targeting Livin gene could inhibit the expression of Livin gene in Hela cells and enhance the apoptosis induced by cisplatin, which was related to the decreased expression of Bcl-2 and activation of Bax and caspase-3. Survivin might play an important role as an antagonist in the process of apoptosis induction.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the literature on power frequency electric field testing data and to propose views and suggestions for current testing.

METHODSThe literature on power frequency electric field testing data published in the previous years was searched to identify 306 articles involving 193 valid testing data. Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon W test were used for analyzing the testing data.

RESULTSThe classification of data was carried out according to one quarter of occupational exposure limit (1.25 kV/m), one half of the exposure limit (2.5 kV/m), and the exposure limit (5 kV/m). The structure of testing data showed a significant difference between the non-power facility group and the power facility group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONAs occupational hazard factors, the radiation exposure from power frequency electric field is extensive. However, the power frequency electric field testing data in actual workplaces except high-voltage power facilities are far less than the occupational exposure limit with little harmfulness. There is a phenomenon of excessive testing at present.

Objective To investigate the effects of early rehabilitation therapy in mechanically ventilated ICU in patients.Methods A randomized controlled trial was carried out.Sixty mechanically ventilated patients,with tracheal intubation or tracheostomy more than 48 h and less than 72 h,were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College Qingdao University from May 2010 to May 2012.These patients were randomly (random number) divided into two groups,the rehabilitation group and the control group,30 patients in each group.In rehabilitation group,rehabilitation therapy was taken twice daily,and the training time and intensity was adjusted according to the condition of the patients.Early rehabilitation therapy included head up actively,transfer from the supine to sit,out of bed,transfer to a chair,standing bedside bed and walking bedside bed.The patient' s body mass index,days to first out of bed,duration of mechanical ventilation,ICU stay,APACHE Ⅱ score,highest FiO2,lowest PaO2/FiO2 and hospital mortality of patients were compared between rehabilitation group and control group.The differences between the groups were compared using t test.Results There was no significant difference in body mass index,APACHE Ⅱ score,highest FiO2,lowest PaO2/FiO2 and hospital mortality between rehabilitation group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Patients in the rehabilitation group had shorter first out of bed time [(3.8 ± 1.2) d vs.(14.9 ±4.7) d; P =0.00],duration of mechanical ventilation [(5.6±2.1) dvs.(12.7±4.1) d; P=0.005] andICUstay [(7.3±2.8) dvs.(15.2±4.5) d;P =0.01] compared with control group.Conclusions Early rehabilitation therapy was safe and effective in improving the outcomes of mechanical ventilation patient.

Aim To explore the inhibition of Sinica Maxim′s extract( CSME) on resistant infections of burn wounds,such as the methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA ) , resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa (RPA) and resistant escherichia coli(RECO). Meth-ods The resistant strains were cultured by MH agar plates. After resistance genes of quality control strains were extracted and appraised, such as mecA, mexB, merA, qacE△1-sull, tnpU/A and mexB, etc, and then,some projects of CSME were detected,such as the antibacterial spectrum, the minimum inhibitory con-centration(MIC), different concentrations of sensitive rate and inhibition curves, etc. Finally, these results were compared with the inhibitory effects of some anti-biotics to determine the sensitivity rates of CSME. Re-sults The MIC of CSME was 62. 5 ,125 ,250 g · L-1 respectively on the MESA, RPA and RECO. The inhi-bition rates of CSME appeared concentration-dependent on these three kinds of resistant bacteria,and the inhi-bition rates of the multi-concentration CSME on RECO were significantly lower than on MRSA and RPA ( P<0. 05). While in MIC,the resistance rates of MRSA on carbenicillin, cefazolin, erythromycin were significant-ly higher than those of CSME(P<0. 05); The inhibi-tion zones of CSME were significantly smaller than those of ceftriaxone, cefepime, imipenem, but greater than those of other antibiotics( P<0. 05 ); The inhibi-tion zones of CSME on RPA were significantly smaller than those of carbenicillin, and greater than those of other antibiotics ( P <0. 05 ) . The inhibition zones of CSME on RECO were significantly smaller than those of ceftriaxone,cefepime,imipenem,ciprofloxacin,nitro-furazone,and greater than those of other antibiotics ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions CSME has a significant inhi-bition on burn wound infection with these three kinds of resistant bacteria,such as MRSA,RPA and RECO. It is prompted that CSME could become one of the effective drugs to control burn wound infections with multi-re-sistant strains.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA 27a (miR-27a) and relationship with drug resistance in human ovarian cancer A2780/Taxol cells.Methods A stem-loop-mediated real-time PCR was used to detect miR-27a expression in A2780 and A2780/Taxol cells.The cells were transfected with the mimics or inhibitors of miR-27a or negative control RNA ( NC) by lipofectamine 2000.The expressions of MDR1 gene,P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) protein levels were measured by real-time PCR and western blot respectively.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to analyze drug sensitivity.Apoptosis analysis was measured by fluorescence activated cell sorter ( FACS).Results (1) miR-27a was an average of 2.2-fold higher expression level in A2780/Taxol cells than that in A2780 cells,with a significant difference between the two groups (P <0.05).(2) A2780/Taxol cells transfection with inhibitors of miR-27a showed that the levels of MDR1 mRNA was decreased by 39%,P-gp protein level[(26 ±5)%]decreased than that in the NC group[(43 ±7)%],HIPK2 protein level[(30 ±6)%]increased than that in the NC group[(19 ±4)%],the 50% inhibitionconcentration (0.5 (μmol/L) was less than that in the NC group (6.8 μmol/L),apoptosis rate[(32.5 ± 3.6) %]was higher than that in the NC group[(5.6 ±2.1) %],and there were significant differences between two groups (all P < 0.05 ).( 3 ) Transfection of A2780 cells with mimics of miR-27a led to increase MDR1 mRNA expression by 121% as compared with one transfection with NC (P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of miR-27a is upregulated in A2780/Taxol cells,which may regulate MDR1 and P-gp expression by targeting HIPK2.
