1.Lymphoma and cAMP signaling pathway
China Oncology 2016;26(6):556-560
Several signaling pathways are involved in clonal proliferation of lymphoma cells and disease progression. It has been shown that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway, as an important intra-cellular messenger delivery system, is related to modulation of multiple physiological processes including cell prolifer-ation, secretion, metabolism and apoptosis. Manipulating the cAMP signaling pathway can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of various malignant lymphoid cells, which involves mitochondria-dependent apoptosis and cAMP-modulated protein kinases as well as changes of intracellular mediators. In-depth research and analysis of cAMP-induced apoptosis in lymphoma cells would provide potential targets and possible therapeutic means for the treatment of lymphoma.

Aim To investigate the effects of Vam3 on ATP-induced inflammatory response in macrophages and the underlying mechanisms. Methods LPS primed mouse peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with ATP,and IL-1βlevel in supernatants was meas-ured by ELISA.Activity of caspase 1 was measured u-sing caspase 1 activity assay kit.Reactive oxygen spe-cies (ROS )level was detected with fluorescent probe DCFH-DA.MTT assay was used to detect cell prolifer-ation,and intracellular Ca2+concentration was meas-ured using laser scanning confocal microscope.Results Extracellular ATP led to increase in IL-1βrelease, caspase 1 activity and ROS production.It also led to rapid increase in intracellular Ca2+concentration and induced cell death.These effects were inhibited by Vam3 .Conclusion Vam3 inhibits ATP-induced in-flammatory response in macrophages,which may sug-gest the blocking effect of Vam3 on caspase 1 ~IL-1βinflammatory signaling pathway in macrophages.

Objective: To explore and discuss the clinical curative effect on intermittent positive pressure breathing therapy of non - invasive ventilator in the treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of elderly patients with complication of acute respiratory failure. Methods: 112 elderly patients who were COPD (all of patients were acute exacerbation period) with complication of acute respiratory failure were divided into control group (60 cases) and observation group (52 cases) as the random number table. A series of basic therapy including routine anti-inflammatory, relieving asthma and expectorant therapy were implemented for all of patient. And the non-invasive ventilator was used to implement non-invasive mechanical breathing therapy. In this therapy, patients of control group were implemented sustaining positive pressure breathing therapy, while patients of observation group were implement intermittent non-invasive positive pressure breathing therapy (1:1). The curative effect, pH value (at 6,24 and 72h), PaO2 (at 6,24 and 72h), PaCO2 (at 6,24 and 72h) and complications between the two methods were compared. Results: There was no significant difference in the general demographic characteristics between the two groups. For patients at 6, 24 and 72 h, the differences of the pH value, PaO2and PaCO2 between pre and post-treatment were significant in observation group (F=5.669, F=6.985, F=7.628, P<0.05) and control group (F=5.311, F=6.892, F=7.958, P<0.05) , respectively. The differences of the pH value, PaO2 and PaCO2 at 6h, 24h and 72h were significant (at 24h, F=6.776, F=7.098, F=7.673. at 72 h, F=7.883, F=6.983, F=7.335, P<0.05),respectively. For two groups, the differences of pH value, PaO2 and PaCO2 at pre-weaning, post-weaning 6h and post-weaning 12h were not significant. While the mechanical ventilation time and mechanical ventilation rate of observation group were significant lower than that of control group (t=3.591, x2=3.052, P<0.05). Besides, the incidences of complications including flatulence, trachea intubation, respiratory and relative pneumonia of observation group were significant lower than that of control group (x2=4.997, P<0.05). Conclusion: The new method can significantly shorten duration of breathing and duration of hospital stays. And its incidence of complication is lower while safety of treatment is relatively higher than that of traditional method.

Objective To compare 2 methods to immobilize probes on the surface of gold membrane and select the better one for aptamer immobilization of aptamer-based piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor. Methods Anti-IgE aptamers were immobilized on the gold surface of piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor with thiol method or biotin-avidin method. The changes of frequency were compared in reactions with different concentrations of IgE. Results Biotin-avidin method obtained higher frequency changes in the reactions of IgE, lower limit of detection and wider liner range than thiol method. For biotin-avidin method, there was significant linear correlation between frequency changes and the concentration of IgE with the correlation coefficient of 0.994 5. Conclusion The thiol method which is proved effective for probe immobilization on gene sensor is unfit for aptamer immobilization. Biotin-avidin method has a better ability to immobilize probe on the surfaces of aptamer-based piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor.
