By tracing of ~(75)Se-Na_2SeO_3 incubating and irrigating of the isolated myocardial slices of rats, the numeric relationship between the free selenics in the serum and the serum sdenics, the sodium sdenite doses injected were observed; the absorption of the frce selenics and the serum selenics was compared; the setenics metabolic rate and quantities of the myocardial tissue in different duration after injecting of selcnite, the effect of selenics concentration to the participating were calculated, It is suggested that there is a very close relationship between the free selenics and the selenium metabolism in the myocardium; the ratio betwen the values of the free selenics and the serum selenics may become a stable indicator of the selenium metabolism; the free selenics in the serum may be where the important mediates of selenium metabolism are.

Objective To assess the preventive effects of FK506 and Leflunomide (Lef) on islet xenograft acute rejection in rat-to-mouse models. Methods The islets of rat were transplanted under the kidney capsule of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse. The recipients were randomly divided into control group, un-treatment group, mono-therapy group and combination-therapy group. All immunosuppressants were administrated daily from 0 to 9 days. CD4 +\, CD8 + T-cell subsets and IL-2 were examined on the 5?th day after transplantation. Results Compared with un-treatment group, xenoislet survival could be significally prolonged in mono-therapy group. Combination-therapy of FK506 with Lef could significantly prolong the survival of xenoislet when compared with FK506 or Lef used alone. The number of CD4 + T-cells in mono-therapy group and combination-therapy group was much less than in un-treatment group. Conclusion Both FK506 and Lef can suppress proliferation of CD4 + T-cells and prevent or delay islet xenograft rejection.

Objective To investigate the effects of esmolol and remifentanil on minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery. Methods One hundred ASAⅠorⅡpatients aged 18-60 yr undergoing upper abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=20 each):group A isoflurane alone; group B isoflurane + large dose esmolol; group C isoflurane + remifentanil; group D isoflurane + remifentanil + small dose esmolol and group E isoflurane + remifentanil + large dose esmolol. In group B and E esmolol was infused at 250 μg·kg-1·min-1 after a loading dose of 1 mg/kg (large dose esmolol). In group D esmolol was infused at 50 μg'kg-1·min-1 after a loading dose of 0.5 mg/kg (small dose esmolol). In group C, D and E remifentanil was infused at 0.05 μg·kg-1·min-1 after a loading dose of 0.25 μg/kg. As soon as the patients lost consciousness, tracheal intubation was facilitated with succinyl choline 1.5 mg/kg. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT=8 ml/kg, RR 12 bpm, FiO2= 100% ). PET CO2 was maintained at 32-38 mm Hg and naso-pharyngeal temperature above 35.5℃. End-tidal isoflurane concentration was continuously monitored. If the patient moved his/her hand, foot, head or body within 60 seconds after skin incision was made the end-tidal isoflurane concentration was increased by 10% in the next patient; if the patient did not respond to skin incision the end-tidal concentration of isoflurane was decreased by 10% in the next patient. The initial end-tidal isoflurane concentration was 1.24% in group A and B, 0.78% in group C, D and E. Results The MAC of isoflurane was 1.24% ± O.14%, 1.22%±0.09%, 0.77%± 0.05%, 0.75% ±0.06%, 0.60%±0.05% in group A, B, C, D, E respectively. Remifentanil significantly reduced MAC of isoflurane in group C, D and E as compared with group A. The MAC of isoflurane was significantly lower in group E than in group C. Conclusion Remifentanil infusion at 0.05 μg·kg-1·min-1 combined with large dose esmolol can reduce MAC of isdlurane by 52% in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery.

Background and purpose:Estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer always presents a dilemma for resistance to endocrine therapy in a long time. The recent studies showed that the expression of estrogen-responsive ifnger protein (Efp) and polo-like kinase 3 (Plk3) had a close relationship with breast cancer development. This study was to explore the expression correlation between Efp and Plk3 in ER-positive breast cancer in order to understand the inlfuence of Efp and Plk3 on the drug resistance.Methods:The expression of Efp and Plk3 in 74 cases of ER-positive breast cancer was detected by SP immunohistochemistry. The clinical signiifcance was then analyzed. Real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of Efp and Plk3 in ER-positive MCF-7 cells.Results:No signiifcant relationship was found between Efp and Plk3 expression and the clinicopathological features of 74 cases of ER-positive breast cancer (P>0.05). The number of cases whose Efp showed positive expression was 51 (68.9%), while the number of cases whose Plk3 showed positive expression was 23 (31.1%). Chi-square test analysis showed the expression of Efp and Plk3 was negatively correlated in 74 cases of ER-positive breast cancer (χ2=8.837,P<0.05). The result of RTFQ-PCR showed that the expression of Efp mRNA in MCF-7 cells was up-regulated by estrogen stimulation, whereas Plk3 mRNA was not changed. The result of Western blot showed that the expression of Efp protein in MCF-7 cells was increased by estrogen and MG132 stimulation, whereas Plk3 protein was decreased.Conclusion:The expression of the Efp protein is negatively correlated with Plk3 protein in ER-positive breast cancer. High expression of Efp may be involved in the resistance to endocrine therapy.

Objective To investigate the role of the ERG11 gene in the drug resistance of Trichosporon asahii (T.asahii), and to explore the relationship between the gene expression and drug concentrations. Methods Stable fluconazole-resistant strains of T.asahii were induced in vitro following exposure to a series of concentrations of fluconazole. Fluconazole-sensitive and-resistant strains of T.asahii were separately cultured in the medium containing fluconazole at concentrations of 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 μg/ml. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression of ERG11 gene. Results In fluconazole-free medium, the fluconazole-resistant strain of T.asahii showed significantly increased mRNA expression of the ERG11 gene compared with the fluconazole-sensitive strain (7.542 ± 5.311 vs. 1.014 ± 0.012, t=3.002, P=0.03). Additionally, the mRNA expression of ERG11 gene was also significantly higher in the fluconazole-resistant strains than the fluconazole-sensitive strains in the culture medium containing fluconazole at different concentrations of 0.25 (9.183 ± 3.226 vs. 3.281 ± 2.068), 0.5(13.657 ± 5.428 vs. 3.459 ± 1.923), 1(15.292 ± 7.007 vs. 3.242 ± 2.530), 2(13.720 ± 8.550 vs. 3.651 ± 0.728), 4(13.949 ± 2.960 vs. 3.969 ± 1.924)and 8(13.123 ± 6.429 vs. 3.824 ± 1.875)μg/ml(all P<0.05). However, no significant correlation was observed between the mRNA expression of ERG11 gene and fluconazole concentrations(fluconazole-resistant strains: rs = 0.229, P = 0.096; fluconazole-sensitive strains:rs=0.166, P=0.357). Conclusion Overexpression of ERG11 gene is associated with fluconazole resistance in T.asahii, but there is no correlation between the mRNA expression of ERG11 gene and fluconazole concentrations.
