Background and purpose: Aurora kinases, frequently detected to be over-expressed in some human tumors, regulate many essential events during tumor cell mitosis progression and have been regarded as potentially important targets for cancer therapy. This study was designed to detect Aurora-B expression in cervical carcinoma, explore the relation Aurora-B expression and clinicopathologic feature. So, Aurora-B kinase inhibition ZM447439 was used to investigate the effect of ZM447439 on SiHa cell line and the synergy effect with paclitaxel. Methods:Detected Aurora-B protein in cervical carcinoma(70 patients), CINⅡ(46 patients) and normal cervix(21patients) by immunohistochemistry. The inhibitory effects of ZM447439 and paclitaxel in SiHa cell line were investigated by MTT based assay, The expression of apoptosis associated protein was measured by Western blot. Results:The rate of Aurora-B expression is 71.43%in cervical cancer, with no signiifcant correlation to clinical stage, age, lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion (P>0.05). Aurora-A protein expression has significant correlation to pathological type and grade(P<0.05). Enhanced antiproliferative effects were found when SiHa cells were cultured with ZM447439. Synergic effect of ZM447439 combined with paclitaxel was found in SiHa cell line(Q>1.15). The level of P53 was increased significantly through ZM447439 treatments with Western blot. Conclusion: Our data provides strong evidence that high expression of Aurora-B in cervical cancer. The targeted Aurora-B inhibitors, ZM447439, can enhance paclitaxel anti-tumor activity in cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of Jagged1 in human epithelial ovarian carcinoma tissues and the effect of Jagged1 on growth of xenograft in nude mice. Methods (1) Forty-eight cases of ovarian cancer and 30 cases of patients with benign epithelial ovarian tumor in the Henan Province Xinxiang Central Hospital during Feb. 2011 to Mar. 2014 were enrolled in this study. The mRNA expression of Jagged1, Notch1 and the downstream target genes Hes1, Hey1 were analyzed by using realtime PCR method. (2) The ovarian cancer xenograft models in nude mice were constructed by injecting SKOV3 cells in axillary subcutaneouswere. The nude mice were randomly divided into Jagged1 interference group, blank plasmid group and control group. Each group had 10 mice. They were transfected with pcDNA3.1(+)-siRNA-Jagged1, blank plasmid pDC3.1 and phosphate buffer, respectively. The tumor volumes and tumor masses were measured 14 days after transfection and the inhibition rate was calculated. The relative mRNA expression of Jagged1, Notch1, Hes1 and Hey1 in xenograft tissues after transfection in each group was detected by using realtime PCR technique and the relative protein expression of Jagged1, Notch1, Hes1 and Hey1 in xenograft tissues was detected by utilizing western blot method. Results (1) The relative mRNA expression of Jagged1, Notch1, Hes1 and Hey1 in ovarian cancer tissues were higher than benign ovarian tumor tissues, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). (2) The tumor volume was (491 ± 68) mm3 and tumor mass was (2.6±0.4) g in Jagged1 interference group, which were significantly lower than that in the blank plasmid group [(842 ± 88) mm3 and (4.4 ± 0.8) g, respectively] and that in the control group [(851 ± 90) mm3 and (4.5 ± 0.9) g, respectively;P<0.05], the tumor inhibition rate was 42.2% in Jagged1 interference group, which was significantly higher than that in the blank plasmid group and that in the control group (2.2%and 0, respectively), the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The relative mRNA and protein expression of Jagged1, Hes1 and Hey1 in xenograft tissues of nude micein Jagged1 interference group were lower than that in the other two groups, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no differences of relative mRNA and protein expression of Notch1 in xenograft tissues of nude mice among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Jagged1 is highly expressed in epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Jagged1 gene interference in xenograft tumor can inhibit ovarian cancer cell growth and improve tumor suppressor rate, which probably play roles by inhibiting Notch1 signaling pathway.

The experiment contents were integrated into three parts such as basic skills and verification experiment, systematic experiment and designing experiment. Basic skills and confirmato-ry experiments were performed alone with theory teaching by combination of modern teaching methods and traditional teaching methods, which consisted of “speaking”(experimental principles, methods and main technical points using multimedia), “looking”(demonstrating related operation on teaching website), teachers' demonstration, students' doing experiment independently and summarizing. In this part, the experimental operation skills such as the sterile operation technology, staining technology, microscopy technology and pure culture were emphasized. Systemic experiments would be carried out after completion of the most theory, the experiment time could be adjusted according to the experiment content, and the PBL teaching method was taken in this stage. After the theory teaching of Medical Microbiology was finished, students voluntarily participated in design experiments in the last stage, which were the fusion of scientific research subject and the experimental teaching. From the preview experiment, experiment operation, experiment report, to the final test, the multi-dimensional evalua-tion was implemented throughout the course of experiment teaching.

BACKGROUND:Glucocorticoids may induce local bone trabecular and bone marrow necrosis, femoral head col apse and deformation, thus resulting in hip dysfunction. However the pathological mechanisms and treatment of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head remain unclear, and the pathogenesis mechanisms are controversial. The current studies focus on the understanding of the pathological mechanisms.
OBJECTIVE:To summary the research progress of adipogenic differentiation theory of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head and the treatment.
METHODS:The first author searched literature from CNKI and PubMed database from 1988 to 2010, by using the key words is“Glucocorticoids, osteonecrosis of femoral head, bone marrow stromal stem cells, adipogenic differentiation, differentiation factors, treatment, choices”in English, and“glucocorticoids induced osteonecrosis of femoral head, adipogenic differentiation, treatment, research progress”in Chinese. Articles regarding the adipogenic differentiation theory of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head and the treatment were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 112 literatures were screened out, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria for literature screening, 54 articles were included. Modern researches emphasize the celland molecular biology level, and show that the biological base of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head is abnormal adipogenic differentiation of bone cells, glucocorticoids cause the variations of adipogenic differentiation factors, leading to adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells. But glucocorticoids affects multiple differentiation factors, it may cause great error in the evaluation of the pathogenesis of glucocorticoids-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head purely from one factor. The abuse of glucocorticoids is the leading cause for the osteonecrosis of femoral head. Further studies are needed to investigate the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and treatment programs.
