Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive point moxibustion in treating functional dyspepsia. Methods Fifty-six patients with functional dyspepsia were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 28 cases each. The treatment group received heat-sensitive point moxibustion and the control group took domperidone tablets. The symptoms were scored and plasma motilin was measured in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total efficacy rate was 89.3% in the treatment group and 82.1% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the symptom score and plasma motilin in the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the symptom score and plasma motilin between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Heat-sensitive point moxibustion is an effective way to treat functional dyspepsia.

Objective To explore the radiosensitizatian of paclitaxel in human lung adenocareinoma cells. Methods A human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A973 was used in this study. The cytotoxicity of paclitaxel was investigated by using clonngenic assay to define the IC10,IC50 and IC90. The cells received either radiation(with different doses) alone or paclitaxel administrated before and after irradiation. Cell survival fractions were determined by clonogenic assay. Single hit multi-target model was used to determine survival curve parameters. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze the cell cycle distribution. Results The IC10, IC50 and IC90 of paclitaxel in A973 cells were 0.5,2.6 and 8.7 nmol/L,respectively. According to Do,Dq and SF2 value,the sensitivity enhancement ratio(SER) of IC10 was 0.97,1.01 and 2.00 when paclitaxel was added before irradiation, and 0.97,1.02 and 1.02 when after irradiation ; The SER of IC50 was 1.06,129.00 and 2.61 when paclitaxel was added before irradiation, and 0.94,220. O0 and 2.14 when after irradiation ;The SER of IC90 were 1.00,220. 00 and 2.09 when paclitaxel was added before irradiation,and 0.98,220.00 and 2.09 when after irradiation. The IC10 of paclitaxei failed to increase G2+M arrest of A973 cells.The maximal G2+M accumulation was reached at 2 h and 18 h after IC50 and IC90 of paclitaxel treatment,respectively. Conclusions Paclitaxel is able to enhance the radiation sensitivity of A973 cells. Sequence of treatment is not associated with radiosensitivity. Moderate and high dose of paclitaxel combined with low-dose radiation can produce the best effect of radiosensitiation.

As the major pathway mediating specific protein degradation in eukaryotes, ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is involved in various physiological and pathological processes such as cell cycle regulation, immune response, signal transduction and DNA-repair. Deubiquitinases (DUB) maintain the balance of UPS and related physiological processes via reversibly removing ubiquitin from the covalently modified protein substrates, which have been implicated in various disease processes in case of their imbalance expression. Because DUB plays critical regulating roles in the UPS pathway, they may be also the ideal drug targets for severe and intractable human diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disease. With the rapid development of proteomic technology, systematical investigation of specific substrates and interacting proteins of varied DUB via mass spectrometry approach may shed light on these DUB's biological function and regulating roles in the physiological and pathogenic states. In this review, we briefly introduce the characteristics of DUB and summarize the recent application and progresses of proteomics in DUB research.

Objective To investigate the concentrations of formaldehyde in newly decorated apartments. Methods In this study we monitored the concentrations of formaldehyde in indoor air of 28 newly decorated apartments and offices and furnishings. In order to analysis the correlation between formaldehyde concentration of indoor air and personal exposure level, 17 persons' exposure levels were measured by personal air monitoring in 2 offices. Results The medians of formaldehyde concentrations in indoor air and furnishings were 0.062 mg/m3 and 0.260 mg/m3 respectively. The concentration of formaldehyde in furniture was significantly higher than that in indoor air (Z=-5.098,P

Objective To establish a stable and controllable model of acute regional cerebral ischemia in rats, and to evaluate it by CT perfusion imaging and histological study. Methods Twenty eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, and there were 7 rats in each group. The sham operation rats were defined as the first group, rats suffered from cerebral ischemia for 15 minutes were classified as the second group, rats suffered from cerebral ischemia for 30 minutes and then reperfusion for 1 hour as the third group, and rats suffered from hypo perfusion for 6 hours as the fourth group. Cerebral ischemia or hypo perfusion were induced by inserting a nylon thread of different diameter into right middle cerebral artery (MCA) of rats under the monitoring of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) by the Laser Doppler Blood Perfusion Monitor (BPM). rCBF was also examined by dynamic CT perfusion imaging. At the end of the observation time, rats were decapitated, and three rats of each group were performed 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and four rats were performed histological study. Results In the second group, rCBF was controlled within 5% to 22% under the monitoring by BMP and CT perfusion imaging showed the decreased rCBF in 7 rats, but TTC staining showed red appearance indicating no infarction focus formed. Electronic microscopic study revealed astrocytic swelling and a few of neuronal degeneration. In the third group, rCBF was controlled within 4% to 23% under the monitoring by BMP. There were more severe astrocytic swelling and a lot of neuronal degeneration. The abnormal areas in CT perfusion images were the same as TTC staining. In the fourth group, in accordance with less decrease ment of rCBF (from 38% to 55%) in 7 rats, there were obvious astrocytic swelling and subtle neuronal degeneration. TTC stain did not show ischemia area. All these abnormal changes were not observed in the sham operation rats. Conclusion The controllable acute regional cerebral ischemic model in rats is very stable and repeatable. It can be simulated into the ischemic state of different perfusion level. This model is suitable for the research of acute cerebral infarction and regional cerebral ischemia. The facts that parallel changes existed among BMP measurement, CT perfusion imaging, and brain histology indicated that CT perfusion imaging is accurate and sensitive in evaluating acute regional ischemia.

Limb rehabilitation is one of the key issues for improving the quality of life in patients with stroke. Studies have demonstrated that the retention and recovery of active movement of hemiplegic limb have predictive value for the prognosis in acute stroke. The responsible lesion sites and rehabilitation training in the acute phase may be an important factor in influencing the recovery of active movement ability of hemiplegie upper limb. However, there is still lack of a large, multi-center study, and further related studies are needed.

Objective We increase the soluble expression of artificial tandem hybrid ubiquitin binding domains ( ThUBD) in prokaryotic cytoplasm of Escherichia coli BL21 ( DE3 ) , which offer an effective and special profiling for ubiquitin conjugates( UbC) .Methods Codon optimization of the ThUBD was performed, followed by analysis of codon relative adaptiveness based on relative frequency of synonymous codon ( RFSC) of E.coli.Further induced expression and yeast ubiquitin conjugate enrichment quantified the soluble ThUBD-S and tested the ability to bind UbC.Results The statistical result showed that the percentage of codon of the highest usage frequency was increased from 48%to 75%, and codon adaptation index( CAI) was increased from 0.63 to 0.88 after codon optimization, which might suggest a higher expression of the ThUBD in E.coli BL21 (DE3).The subsequent SDS-PAGE indicated that the soluble target protein was increased four times, which accounted for 13.06%of total cell lysis.Further ubiquitinated proteome of yeast demonstrated that the ability to bind and enrich UbC of optimized ThUBD-S did not change compared with original ThUBD.Conclusion The expression of ThUBD-S can quadruple after codon optimization.At the same time, codon optimization does not impact its soluble expression and the ability to bind UbC.
