Tamoxifen and letrozole are two of the most effective pharmaceuticals mainly used in hormonal dependent) breast cancer therapy. A trace analytical method using ultra performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) was developed to simultaneously detect these two drugs in both influent) and effluent of municipal sewage treatment plant. Sewage samples were passed through an Oasis HLB cartridge, then an amino solid phase extraction cartridge was connected with Oasis HLB cartridge. Target compounds) was firstly eluted with 6 mL methanol and then 3 mL methanol was used to elute the amino solid phase extraction cartridge, collected and pooled the elutants. After concentration, target compounds were separated) on a BEH C_(18)) column using a gradient elution profile with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid aqueous) solution and acetonitrile and detected by an electro spray ionization tandem mass spectrometry with multiple reactions monitoring(MRM). Satisfactory linearity(R~2>0.997) was obtained over the range of 1.0-100 μg/L) and 0.1-100 μg/L for tamoxifen and letrozole, respectively, with limits of quantification(LOQ) of 1.0 and 0.1 ng/L. Mean recoveries of two target compounds(spiked in sewage samples at three concentration levels) ranged from 68.8% to 103.0%, with relative standard deviations(RSD) less than 15%. This method can be applied for the analysis of target drugs sewage samples.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Ku70 silencing on the expression of apoptosis-related genes in human NSLC cell line,A549 and drug-resistant A549DDP.Methods:Expression of Ku70mRNA in human A549 cells was examined by RT-PCR.Expression of apoptosis-related genes was examined by PCR-Array assay.Results: The Ku70mRNA was higher in A549DDP cells than in A549 cells.The expression of BAX,TP53 and TP73 was significantly increased whereas the expression of TNFRSF1A and BFAR decreased in siRNA-Ku70 A549DDP cells when compared to those of A549DDP cells.Conclsion:The amount of Ku70 mRNA is higher in A549DDP cells,suggesting that Ku70 is important for drug-resistance; Silencing Ku70 might reverse the drug-resistance in A549DDP cells through regulation of expression of apoptofic genes.
