Objective To investigate the effect of serum-deprivation on the changes of [ Ca2+ ] i and the protein release of S100A13 and fibroblast growth factor 1 ( FGF-1 ) in thyroid cancer TT cell,and to reveal the role of Ca2+in the protein release of S100Al3 and FGF-1.Methods The protein expressions of FGF-1 and S100A13 in TT cells under serum-deprivation were detected by Western blot.The released FGF-1 protein from TT cells in the supernatant fluid was detected by ELISA.Realtime dynamic examinations on the change of 1 h [ Ca2+ ] i in TT cells under serum-deprivation were detected by confocal laser scanning microscopy.Then,the effect of EGTA( 2.5 mmol/ L),BAPTA-AM (2.5 μmol/L)on distributions of the fluorescence of S100AI 3 and FGF-1 in TT cells under serumdeprivation for6 h were detected by indirect immunofluorescence.Results The expressions of FGF-1 and S100A13 in TT cells after serum-deprivation for4 h and 6 h were reduced( P<0.05 or P<0.01 ),but the released FGF-1 protein from TT cells in the supernatant fluid was elevated ( P<0.05 or P<0.01).Confocal laser scanning of Ca2+ imaging indicated that [ Ca2+ ] i of serum-deprivation TT cells maintained the relative stabilization within 23 win,but the rapid rise of [ Ca2+ ] i achieved peak value 1.6 μmol/L after 30 min,and remained stable for about 17 win,and thereafter 40 win slowly dropped to a low level From 40 win to 60 win the [ Ca2+ ] i was about 0.3-0.6 μ mol/L.The average [ Ca2+ ] i was higher than that in normal group,EGTA group,and BAPTA-AM group within 1 h.The protein expressions of S100A13 and FGF-1 did not drop obviously in EGTA group and BAPTA-AM group.Conlusion The release of S100A13 and FGF-1 from TT cell under serum-deprivation is possibly related with the change of [ Ca2+ ]i.Both Ca2+-chelating agents EGTA and BA PTA-AM are able to inhibit the rise of [ Ca2+ ] i and release of S100A 13 and FGF-1 from TT cells under serum-deprivation.

Objective To evaluate the relationship and screening value of percentage of body fat (BF%) and waist height ratio (WHtR) for hyperlipidemia in physical examination people. Methods A total of 2 668 objects taking physical examination in Henan Province People′s Hospital from September to December 2014 were included in this study. Values of height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, body composition and blood lipid level were detected. The receiver oper?ating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the screening rate of WHtR and BF%on hyperlipidemia with sensitivi?ty, specific and area under the curve (AUC). After stratified by age, waist circumference and BMI, multivariable logistic re?gression analysis was used to investigate the association between hyperlipidemia risk, BF% and WHtR. Results The screening accuracy rate on hyperlipidemia was higher for BF%, AUC was 0.79 in both female and male people. Among wom?en with BMI<18.5 kg/m2 and 18.5~<24 kg/m2, the risk of hyperlipidemia was higher in superfatted group than that of normal group. There was no correlation between WHtR and hyperlipidemia. Among men older than 40 y or with abnormal waist cir?cumference (≥85 cm), the risk of hyperlipidemia was higher in superfatted group than that of normal group, but not associat?ed with WHtR. Conclusion The BF%is a better screening indicator for hyperlipidemia compared with that of WHtR and BMI. Women with BMI<18.5 kg/m2 and 18.5~<24 kg/m2 and men older than 40 y or with waist circumference over 85 cm are suggested to do body composition tests to improve screening accuracy for hyperlipidemia.

OBJECTIVE:To screen the optimal technology of dog testes and penis processed with talcum powder,and to pro-vide reference for the formulation of quality control standard. METHODS:Taking the comprehensive score of crushing rate and the content of alcohol soluble extract as evaluation indexes,L9(34) orthogonal test was used to optimize processing temperature,pro-cessing time and the amount of talcum powder;validation test was conducted. According to related method in Chinese Pharmaco-poeia(2015 edition),the contents of moisture,ash,nitrogen and alcohol soluble extract were determined,and automatic amino ac-id analyzer was used to determine the content of amino acids in samples. RESULTS:The optimal processing technology were that 100 kg dog testes and penis should add into 40 kg talcum powder;the processing temperature was 350-380 ℃;processing lasted for 4 min. Results of verification test showed that the average crushing rate and the content of alcohol soluble extract were 80.2%(RSD=0.95%,n=3)and 15.7%(RSD=2.30%,n=3). In processed dog testes and penis,the contents of moisture,ash,nitro-gen and alcohol soluble extract were 5.7%,18.7%,8.3%,15.7%,respectively. Besides,there still were 16 kinds of amino ac-ids,and their total content was 42.44%. CONCLUSIONS:The optimized talcum powder processing technology of dog testes and penis is stable and practical. The content of moisture,ash,nitrogen,alcohol soluble extract and amino acid can be used as impor-tant quality standard control indexes for processed dog testes and penis.

Objective To investigate whether the release of fibroblast growth factor-1 ( FGF-1 ) was changed after inhibition of S100A13 gene (small hairpin RNA, shRNA)and serum-deprivation in human thyroid cancer cells (TT cells ). Methods The S100A13-shRNA pENTRTM/U6 entry vector was transfected into TT cells. The expression of S100A13 mRNA and protein was detected by immunoflurescence, real-time RT-PCR, and Western blot. Then TT cells were treated with S100A13 gene inhibition and serum-deprivation. The changes in release of FGF-1 were detected by indirect immunoflurescence, RT-PCR, and ELISA. Results S100A13 shRNA transfected TT cells (S100A13 RNAi cells)had a reduction of S100A13 gene and protein expression by 80%.Indirect immunofluorescence indicated FGF-1 was mostly localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of TT cells in primary culture. When serum-deprivation stress was given to TT cells, FGF-1 in cytoplasm almost disappeared in the cells at 6 h. RT-PCR indicated that when serum-deprivation stress was given to TT cells the mRNA of FGF-1 was reduced. ELISA showed that with inhibition of S100A13, the release of FGF-1 was reduced (P<0.05).Conclusion S100A13-shRNA pENTRTM/U6 entry vector transfected TT cells may inhibit the expression of S100A13 and reduce the release of FGF-1.
