Objective To study the relationship between the invasion of pituitary adenomas and expressions of MMP-9,Ki-67 and nm23. Methods The expressions of MMP-9,Ki-67 and nm23 were examined by immunohistochemical Elivision methods in 78 cases of pituitary adenomas. Of them,40 cases were invasive pituitary adenomas and, 38 cases were noninvasive pituitary adenomas. Results The expression levels of MMP-9 and Ki-67 in the invasive pituitary adenomas were significantly higher than those in the noninvasive ones (P

Objective To study the content difference of naringin in Fructus Aurantii Immaturus of different specifications.Methods HPLC was performed on the Merck- Lichrospher RP-C18(4.6 mm? 250 mm, 5 ? m) with temperature of 35 ℃ .The chromatographic conditions for naringin:the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-0.3 % Phosphoric acid(20 ∶ 80), at the flow rate of 1 mL/min, and the detection wavelength at 283 nm. Results The content of naringin increased with the diameter of Fructus Aurantii Immature slices.Conclusion It is suggested that there exists significant differences in intrinsic quality among Fructus Aurantii Immaturus of different specifications.

Objective To construct a ciaR gene-knockout (ΔciaR) mutant of Streptococcus pneu-moniae ( S. pneumoniae) and to investigate the effects of CiaR in CiaH/CiaR, a streptococcal two-component signal-transducing system, on the expression of genes encoding penicillin-binding proteins ( pbps genes) and cia-dependent small RNAs (csRNAs). Methods Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (ESMA) was per-formed to detect the recombinant CiaR (rCiaR)-binding pbps genes. A suicide plasmid pEVP3ciaR for ciaR gene knockout was constructed and then aΔciaR mutant was obtained through homologous recombination and insertion inactivation of the suicide plasmid, and screening with chloromycin. The mutant was identified using PCR and sequencing analysis. E-test was used to detect the minimal inhibitory concentrations ( MIC) of penicillin ( PCN) and cefotaxime ( CTX) against S. pneumoniae strains. Changes and differences in the expression of pbps genes and csRNAs in theΔciaR mutant and its wild-type strain before and after treatment with 1/4 MIC of PCN or CTX were detected using real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Results The rCiaR could bind to the promoter regions in pbp1a, pbp1b and pbp2b genes of S. pneumoniae. The ciaR gene in ΔciaR mutant was inactivated by insertion according to the results of PCR and sequencing analysis. After treatment with 1/4 MIC of PCN or CTX, the expression of pbps genes at mRNA level ( pbps-mRNAs) in theΔciaR mu-tant was significantly increased (P<0. 05), but the levels of csRNAs were significantly decreased (P<0. 05);whereas a significantly decreased pbps-mRNAs (P<0. 05) and increased csRNAs (P<0. 05) were observed in its wild-type strain. The result of E-test showed that the MICs of PCN and CTX against ΔciaR mutant were increased by 250-fold as compared with those against its wild-type strain. Conclusion The CiaR can enhance the drug resistance of S. pneumoniae to PCN and CTX through down-regulating the expres-sion of PBP1a, PBP1b and PBP2b and up-regulating the expression of csRNAs to inhibit the expression of PBPs.

Objective To detect the expression of Zbtb7 gene in Phorbol esters(PMA) induced differentiation of leukemia cell lines.Methods 50 nmol/L PMA was used to induce the differentiation of U937 and K562 cell lines.The expression of Zbtb7 was detected by real-time PCR in the cells after induction on day 0,1,3 and 5,respectively. Results The expression of Zbtb7 in leukemia cell lines was markedly enhanced after treated by PMA(P

Objective To investigate the association of the expression level of anti-apoptosis protein p-AKT and gastric mucasal injury induced by indomethacin in mice.Methods The cytotoxicity induced by indomethacin was measured by LDH assay.The p-AKT expression levels were measured in the gastric mucosal tissues from C57BL/6 mice and rat gastric mucosal (RGM-1) cell lines treated with indomethacin lay western blotting.Results The cytotoxicity induced by indomethacin was in a dose dependent manner.Compared with the control,a typical histological appearance of gastric ulcer was observed in the gastric mucosa of in domethacin-administered mice;p-AKT protein expression in the gastric mucosa of mice and RGM-1 cell lines was decreased after treated with indomethacin.Conclusion The reduction of Anfi-apoptesis protein p-AKT expression may be a new mechanism for the gastric mucosal injury induced by indomethacin.

In order to investigate whether defense genes PAL, LOX, PBZ1, PR 1 a and Cht 1 participate in APR(adult plant resistance)to rice bacterial blight, their expression were analyzed using RT-PCR. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were also measured. Results indicated that PAL was induced by pathogen and wounding in adult plants while it only induced by pathogen at the seedlings, and the expression of PAL was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression of LOX was induced by pathogen both in seedlings and adult plants and it was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression PBZ1 was induced by both pathogen and wounding in both seedlings and adult plants and it is earlier and stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. No expected fragments were obtained for PR 1 a and Cht 1. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were consistent with their mRNA accumulations, respectively. It is probable that activation of PAL,LOX, and PBZ1 play crucial roles in APR to rice bacterial blight.
