Objective:To detect the genotyping of hepatitis C virus by PCR-fluorescent probe in Qingyang area,and to evaluate the performance of PCR-fluorescent probe. Methods:The clinical data and peripheral venous blood of patients with HCV were collected (n=289). PCR-fluorescent probe was used to detect the genotype and HCV RNA of hepatitis C virus,and compare with PCR reverse dot blot,RT nested-PCR. Results:Among 289 samples detected by PCR-fluorescent probe,the rate of genotyping of hepatitis C virus was 99. 3%(287/289),and 139 for 1b(48. 1%),136 for 2a(47. 1%),7 for 3a(2. 4%),5 for 3b(1. 7%),2 for unknow(0. 7%). The specificity and efficiency was 100%,better repeatability,consistent with PCR reverse dot blot and RT nested-PCR(98. 2%,P>0. 05). The ALT,AST,PLT and HCVRNA(lg)for 1b patients was higher than 2a(P<0. 05). Conclusion:Multi-genotype distribution of HCV was revealed in the hepatitis C patients of Qingyang,1b and 2a were the main genotypes,and the ratio was equal,2a was increased,1b was declined. The sensibility and specificity was higher for PCR-fluorescent probe,and could be used in clinic.

Objective Previous study shows that the expression of mir-1264 is down-regulated in laryngeal carcinoma. This study aimed to investigate the effect of miR-1264 on the biological function of laryngeal carcinoma Hep2 cells and verify whether miR-1264 could down-regulate the expression of tumor suppressor gene la-ryngeal carcinoma related gene 1(LCRG1)in laryngeal carcinoma. Methods Real-time quantitative PCR was used to assess the miR-1264 expression in human laryngeal cancer tissues. There are three groups in the experiment:miR-1264 mimic/inhibitor group,mimic/inhibitor NC group and untransfected group. MTT and Transwell were applied to observe the effect of miR-1264 on the proliferation,migration and invasion capabilities of Hep2 cells. Luciferase experiment was used to verify the combination of miR-1264 and LCRG1 3'UTR.RT-PCR and Western blot were used to test the expression of miR-1264 and LCRG1 protein respectively. Results Compared with the adjacent laryngeal tissue,miR-1264 expression in human laryn-geal cancer tissues was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with NC control group and blank group,the proliferation,migration and invasion capabilities of Hep2 cells were significantly enhanced after they were transiently transfected with miR-1264 mimic(P<0.05);however,after Hep2 cells were transiently transfected with miR-1264 inhibitor,their proliferation,migration and invasion ca-pabilities were significantly inhibited(P<0.05). Luciferase experiment showed miR-1264 mimic could significantly decrease LCRG1 3'UTR luciferase activity,which was of statistical significance. After the verification of successful transient transfection,the results of further Western blot on LCRG1 protein expression showed that there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the mimic NC control group as well as the blank group(P>0.05). Conclusion miR-1264 is highly expressed in laryngeal cancer tissues. Though miR-1264 may not participate in down-regulating the expression of tumor suppressor gene LCRG1 in laryngeal carcino-ma,it can promote the proliferation,migration and invasion capabilities of Hep2 cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of high glycolipid on mouse cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (MCMECs),clarify the role of Tom70 (translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane 70,Tom70) in it,and explore the related mechanism.Methods MCMECs cultured with normal glucose medium were divided into normal glucose group (NG,5.5mmol/L),high glucose group (HG,25mmol/L) and HG combined with high fat group (HG+HF,glucose concentration 25mmol/L,500μmol/L,16h).Then,the expression of Tom70 in MCMECs was knocked down by siRNA,and the HG+HF group was further divided into vehicle group,Scramble siRNA group and Tom70-siRNA group.To further confirm the specific mechanism of Tom70 in MCMEC injury induced by high glycolipid,Tom70-siRNA group was subgrouped into N-acetylcysteine (NAC)-free group and NAG-containing group.Accordingly,the apoptosis levels were measured by flow cytometer,the generation of nitric oxide (NO) was detected by ELISA kit,the expressions of Tom70 were determined by immunofluorescence and qRT-PCR,and the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by DHE staining and ELISA kit.Results The apoptosis level increased after exposure to HG,and the generation of NO decreased (P<0.05),while merging HF could aggravate these injuries (P<0.05).Moreover,HG inhibited the expressions of Tom70 and promoted the production of ROS in MCMECs (P<0.05).Compared with HG alone,and combination with HF significantly inhibited the expression of Tom70,and significantly increased the production of ROS (P<0.05).Most importantly,compared with the vehicle group and Scramble siRNA group,the intracellular ROS content and apoptosis rate increased in the Tom70-siRNA group,while generation of NO was significantly decreased (P<0.01).In contrast,these damage effects mentioned above were partially reversed by the application of antioxidants NAC (P<0.05).Conclusions High fat can further aggravate the damage on diabetic MCMECs and Tom70 could exert its effect against cardiac microvascular endothelial injury induced by diabetes via inhibiting oxidative stress.

Honokiol is an active compound purified from magnolia that has been shown to induce cell differentiation, apoptosis, and anti-angiogenesis effects, as well as an enhancement in tumor growth delay in combination with chemotherapeutic agents in several mouse xenograft models. Our goal was to investigate the radiosensitization effect of honokiol on lung carcinoma. The radiosensitization effect of liposomal honokiol in Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LL/2) was analyzed using an in vitro clonogenic survival assay. For an in vivo study, Lewis lung carcinoma-bearing C57BL/6 mice were treated with either liposomal honokiol at 25 mg/kg or 5 Gy of single tumor radiation, or a combination of both over 12 days of treatment. The tumor growth delay and the survival time were evaluated. In addition, histological analysis of tumor sections was performed to examine changes by detecting the microvessel density and apoptosis in tumor tissues. In the clonogenic survival assay, LL/2 cells treated with IC50 Lipo-HNK for 24 h showed a radiation enhancement ratio of 1.9. After 12 days of combination treatment, the tumor volume decreased 78% and produced an anti-tumor activity 1.3-fold greater than a predicted additive effect of honokiol and radiation alone. This combination treatment also caused an 8.7 day delay in tumor growth. The cell cycle distribution and histological analysis demonstrated that liposomal honokiol has an anti-tumor effect via inducing apoptosis and inhibiting angiogenesis. Liposomal honokiol can enhance tumor cell radiosensitivity in vitro and in vivo, indicating that radiotherapy combined with liposomal honokiol can lead to greater anti-tumor efficacy.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of bortezomib retreatment in 76 patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM), who previously responded to bortezomib.
METHODSRetrospective analysis of 76 MM patients, who had achieved at least a partial response (PR) on initial bortezomib therapy in our hospital from May 2006 to August 2011, received bortezomib retreatment when they relapsed or progressed.
RESULTSThe overall response rate (ORR) was 60.5%, among them 6.5% patients achieved CR, 5.8% patients achieved very good partial response (VGPR), 38.2% patients achieved PR. Then we further stratified all patients into 3 groups according to the response of initial bortezomib therapy, including CR group, VGPR group and PR group. After bortezomib retreatment, the ORR of the 3 groups was 84.6%, 73.1% and 43.2%, respectively. According to the response of bortezomib retreatment, the patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 who at least achieved PR, group 2 who showed no response. The median progression-free survival (PFS) after bortezomib retreatment for group 1 and 2 was 7(1-39) and 5(1-14) months, respectively (P>0.05), while the median overall survival (OS) after bortezomib retreatment was 16(2-64) and 8(1-28) months, respectively (P<0.05). Adverse events (AE) were identified in 88% patients during bortezomib retreatment, including neutropenia, diarrhea and thrombocytopenia, only 9.2%(7 patients) reached Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade of AE. Severe peripheral neuropathy occurred in only one patient.
CONCLUSIONBortezomib retreatment regimen is demonstrated a higher response rate in patients who achieved deeper response in initial treatment, with no more adverse events.

By using the integrated pharmacology platform and the big data of traditional Chinese medicine combined with the pharmacology thinking of "principle-recipe-composition-target-pathway-activity" in this study, we predicted the material basis and mechanisms of Bupleuri Radix and Scutellariae Radix drug pair for the treatment of diabetes. Fifty-nine active components were predicted, which included saponins, flavones, essential oil, fatty acids and so on. They acted on twenty-two direct targets and twenty-six main pathways respectively.The known disease targets of diabetes include arginine vasopressin receptor gene (AVP), retinoblastoma (RB1), receptor active modified protein (RAMP), platelet growth factor receptor (PDGFR), insulin receptor (INSR), α-glucosidase (GAA), etc. The pathways with diabetes effect involves endocrine system, circulatory system, digestive system, thyroid hormone signaling pathway, ErbB signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, lipid metabolism and other related biological processes and metabolic pathways. The results of virtual screening in molecular docking technology indicate that flavonoids from Bupleuri Radix and Scutellariae Radix drug pair can easily form good docking mode and high affinity with peroxisome proliferators activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), showing antidiabetic activity. The study provides information for the treatment of diabetes by Bupleuri Radix and Scutellariae Radix drug pair, and a new thought for the study of drug pair and complex prescription.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Huoxue Jiedu Runzao prescription on the morphology, apoptosis, and function of submandibular gland in the mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and its functioning mechanism, we analyzed the expression of the apoptosis inhibitor Survivin in the submandibular gland cells of SS mice. Method:Female BALB/c57 mice were selected as the normal group. The naive non-obese diabetic (NOD/Ltj) female mice were selected as the SS model, which were randomly assigned into the model group, Paeoniae Radix Alba total glucosides capsule (0.234 g·kg-1) group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose (15.6, 31.2, 62.4 g·kg-1, respectively) Huoxue Jiedu Runzao prescription groups. Each group had 15 mice. The morphological and functional changes of submandibular gland and the Survivin expression were observed and measured after 8 weeks of drug intervention. Survivin expression was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western blot, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Result:Compared with normal group, salivary flow and submandibular gland index in model group were significantly decreased (
