Objective To observe the effect of DPC4 gene transfection on the chemotherapy sensitivity of pancreatic carcinoma cells. Methods The human DPC4 complementary DNA was subcloned to the retroviral vector pLXSN to obtain recombinant pLXSN/DPC4 with direct inserting potential. The daughter cell BxPC-3/DPC4 which had DPC4 stable expression was acquired after the pancreatic carcinoma BxPC-3 cells had been transfected with pLXSN/DPC4. The sensitivity of the carcinoma cells for 5-Fu and gemcitabine was observed. Meanwhile, the mRNA level of Mdr-1 and Chk1was detected by semi-quantity PCR assay. Results The 50% inhibiting concentrations (IC50)of 5-Fuand gemcitabin4e for BxPC-3 (culturing for 72 h) were rather lower than those of BxPC-3/pLXSN and BxPC-3/-cells. Moreover, the semi-quantity PCR assay revealed that the mRNA level of Mdr-1 and Chk1 was down-regulated. These findings indicated that pLXSN/DPC4 vector, 5-Fu and gemcitabine could inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. The combined therapy with pLXSN/DPC4 vector and chemotherapeutic drugs could further inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Conclusion The DPC4 gene transfection could enhance the sensitivity of pancreatic cells to chemotherapy, which may be realized through the down-regulation of Mdr-1 and Chk1 gene expression.

Ibuprofen/ethyl-cellulose (EC)-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) sustained-release composite particles were prepared by using supercritical CO2 anti-solvent technology. With drug loading as the main evaluation index, orthogonal experimental design was used to optimize the preparation process of EC-PVP/ibuprofen composite particles. The experiments such as encapsulation efficiency, particle size distribution, electron microscope analysis, infrared spectrum (IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and in vitro dissolution were used to analyze the optimal process combination. The orthogonal experimental optimization process conditions were set as follows: crystallization temperature 40 degrees C, crystallization pressure 12 MPa, PVP concentration 4 mgmL(-1), and CO2 velocity 3.5 Lmin(-1). Under the optimal conditions, the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of ibuprofen/EC-PVP composite particles were 12.14% and 52.21%, and the average particle size of the particles was 27.621 microm. IR and DSC analysis showed that PVP might complex with EC. The experiments of in vitro dissolution showed that ibuprofen/EC-PVP composite particles had good sustained-release effect. Experiment results showed that, ibuprofen/EC-PVP sustained-release composite particles can be prepared by supercritical CO2 anti-solvent technology.

Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of DPC4 gene on growth of pancreatic carcinoma in vitro. Methods The human DPC4 cDNA was subcloned to the retroviral vector pLXSN and then packaged with GP+E86 and PA317 packaging cells respectively. AntiG418 clones were acquired and named as PA317/ pLXSN DPC4+ cells. The DPC4 gene was restored to the human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 by the infection of the pLXSN/DPC4 and then had a stable expression after antiG418 selection, which was demonstrated by RT-PCR and Western blot. The inhibitory action of DPC4 gene expression on growth of these daughter cells was observed.Results DPC4/Smad4 gene integration in GP+E86、PA317/ pLXSN DPC4+ cells was detected by polymerase chain reaction. The BxPC-3 cells, which were null for DPC4, had stable expression of DPC4 after the infection of the pLXSN/DPC4. The expression of DPC4 gene was able to inhibit the growth of these cancer cells in vitro and downregulate the VEGF mRNA level.Conclusions This study suggested that there can be marked inhibition of growth and angiogenetic ability of pancreatic cancer cells after infection by retrovirus vector containing DPC4.

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), a group of persistent organic pollutants, have been widely detected in environmental media and posed great threat to human health. The researches on environmental pollution and health concern of PFCs are the hotspot areas. Because PFCs contain lots of homologs and isomers which are detected at trace levels (ng/g or μg/L) in environment, advanced and reliable analytical methods for determination of PFCs in environment are urgently needed. At present, studies on analytical methods of trace PFCs in environmental samples have been widely carried out in China and abroad. However, systematic review on the sample pretreatment, analytical method, and matrix effect of PFCs determination in complex environmental matrixes is relatively scarce. Therefore, this paper reviews the pretreatment methods, martix effects, and detection techniques (especailly isomers) of PFCs in environment samples (water, sediment/sluge, soil and plant). We hope that this review may provide valuable reference for the enviromental researches on PFCs.

Objective To investigate the peri-nasopharyngeal invasion patterns of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) on MRI and its relationship with tumor staging. Methods One thousand five hundred and seventy-three patients with newly diagnosed NPC which were histo-pathologically proved were retrospectively studied. The MRI manifestations and invasion patterns of the NPCs were elevated according to the 2008 Tstaging system of NPC. Z test was used to analyze the rate of adjacent structures invasion in NPCs. Results The structures invaded by NPCs included pharyngobasilar fascia in 1299 cases (82. 58% ); parapharyngeal space, 1090 ( 69. 29% ); nasal cavities, 304 ( 19. 33% ); oropharynx, 49 ( 3. 12% ); carotid space,514(32. 68% ); medial pterygoid muscle, 661 (42. 02% ); lateral pterygoid muscle, 210( 13. 35% ); skull base bones, 943(59. 95% ); cranial nerves, 630(40. 05% ) and paranasal sinuses, 242 ( 15.38% ). The T-stage distribution was T1, 242 cases ( 15.38% ); T2, 288 ( 18. 31% ); T3, 410 (26. 06% ) and T4,633 (40. 24% ). Among the cases with nasal cavities invasion, 90. 46% (275/304)showed the involvement of the structures seen in T3 or T4 stage, which was found in all cases with oropharynx invasion. In addition,69. 14% (457/661) of cases with medial pterygoid muscle invasion and 92. 15% (223/242) of cases with paranasal sinuses invasion showed the involvement of structures seen in T4 stage. As for the invasion patterns of NPC, the lateral invasion of pharyngobasilar fascia was more frequent than upward invasion of skull base (Z = 14. 025, P < 0. 01 ) and downward invasion of oropharynx ( Z = 45.032, P < 0. 01 ), and the downward invasion of oropharynx was less frequent than upward invasion of skull base ( Z = 34. 301, P < 0. 01 ) and forward invasion of nasal cavities ( Z = 14. 404, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion NPC has a predilection of lateral invasion rather than upward and downward invasion, and its upward and forward invasion are more common than downward invasion.
