Objective To investigate the effects of four tyrosine metabolites on the proliferation, cell cycle and chemosensitivity of lung cancer cells.Methods A549 cells were cultured with different concentrations of tyrosine metabolites:tyrosine, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate(HPPA), homogentisic acid(HGA) and fumaric acid (FA) in vitro.High content imaging analysis system was used to monitor cell proliferation.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle and apoptosis.Protein and mRNA level of Bax and Bcl-2 were measured by Western blot.Results Tyrosine metabolites had no effect on cell cycle and proliferation of A549 cells.HGA decreased the cell apoptosis of A549 cells induced by Gefitinib with depressed Bax expression and elevated Bcl-2 expression.However, FA increased the apoptosis of A549 cells induced by Gefitinib with up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of Bcl-2.No obvious effect of tyrosine and HPPA was detected on Gefitinib induced cell apoptosis.Conclusion HGA and FA may play an important role in drug sensitivity of lung cancer cells, indicating a critical role of tyrosine metabolism in lung cancer.

Objective To generate the erythroid differentiation associated gene(EDAG) knockout mice and analyze their sensitivity to low dose radiation-induced damage.Methods Zinc finger nuclease technology ( ZFNs ) was used to produce the EDAG knockout mice.The low dose radiation-induced damage was evaluated by peripheral blood cell counts, DNA damage and colony formation of bone marrow cells.Wild-type and EDAG knockout mice were irradiated with 0.31 Gy/min X-ray, one minute per day for seven consecutive days, and the cumulative radiation dose was 2.17 Gy(n=7).The blood cell counts were measured by an automated hemocytometer.DNA damage was detected by immunofluorescence assay with a DNA damage marker p-H2A.x antibody (n=3).The colony formation ability of bone marrow cells was evaluated with a semi-solid culture medium(n=3).Results A model of EDAG knockout mice was established.Compared to wide type mice, white blood cell counts of EDAG knockout mice decreased significantly while the DNA damage marker p-H2A.x expression was increased on the third day after X-ray irradiation.The ability of colony-forming was reduced after 7 days of X-ray irradiation.Conclusion Our present study found that EDAG knockout mice are more sensitive to low dose radiation-induced damage as shown by decreased peripheral blood cells counts, reduced colony-forming ability of bone marrow cells, and increased DNA damage.These results suggest that EDAG knockout mice can serve as a powerful tool for evaluation of the biological effects of low-dose radiation damage.

Objectives:To investigate the effect of polyester filament fiber surgical drape in neurosurgery.Methods:A total of 181 neurosurgical surgeries were selected from April to July 2019 in a first-class general hospital. They were randomly divided into 2 groups, cotton group (92 cases) were covered with cotton drape, polyester filament fiber group (89 cases) were covered with polyester filament fiber. The anti-permeation performance, incidence of intraoperative hypothermia, and incidence of postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) between the two groups were compared.Results:At the end of the operation, the wetting rate of the cotton draped was 58.7% (54/92) and that in polyester filament fiber was 15.7% (14/89), with statistically significant differences ( χ2 value was 35.605, P<0.05);The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia was 22.8% (21/92) in the cotton group and 11.2% (10/89) in the polyester filament fiber group, with statistically significant differences ( χ2 value was 4.281, P<0.05). The incidence of SSI in the cotton group was 16.3% (15/92) , while that in the polyester filament fiber group was 6.7% (6/89) , with statistically significant differences ( χ2 value was 4.034, P<0.05). Conclusions:In neurosurgical operations with a long operation time and a large amount of irrigation fluid during the operation, using the polyester filament fiber drape can prevent the irrigation fluid from wetting the surgical drape, protect the surgical incision better, reduce the incidence of SSI and intraoperative hypothermia to some extent.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Methods The clinical data of 815 late preterm infants (449 males and 366 females) from 25 hospitals in Beijing were collected from October 2015 to April 2016, including 340 cases(41.7％) with hyperbilirubinemia (hyperbilirubinemia group), and 475 cases without hyperbilirubinemia (control group). The clinical data of two groups were compared, and the maternal factors influencing hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants were analyzed with logistic regression. Results There were no significant differences in gender ratio (M:F 1.39 vs. 1.12, t=1.811,P=0.172)and birth weight[(2502.6±439.6)g vs. (2470.2±402.9)g,χ2=2.330,P=0.127)]between two groups. The incidence rates of hyperbilirubinemia in infants of 34 wks, 35 wks and 36 wks of gestational age were 22.9％(87/174), 35％(119/300) and 42.1％(143/341) respectively (χ2=1.218,P=0.544). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the maternal age(OR=1.044,95％ CI:1.010-1.080,P=0.011)was independent risk factor and multiple births(OR=1.365,95％CI:0.989-1.883,P=0.048), premature rupture of membranes(OR=2.350,95％ CI:1.440-3.833,P=0.001), cesarean section(OR=1.540,95％CI:0.588-4.031,P=0.014)were risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Conclusions The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants is relatively high. Maternal age, multiple births, premature rupture of membranes and cesarean section are risk maternal factors related to hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants.
