Background and purpose:The skeleton is one of the most common sites of metastasis in patients with lung cancer.Bone metastases often cause poor prognosis.It is important to early detect bone metastases.Therefore,we planned a retrospective study to investigate the role of radionuclide bone scanning with 99mTc-MDP in detecting bone metastases in lung cancer patients.Methods:It was a retrospective analysis.400 patients with lung cancer diagnosed in our hospital from 2005.5 to 2007.5 were recruited.Using 99mTc-MDP bone scanning,we analyzed the symptoms,sites,numbers,pathological types and TNM stages of bone metastases.Results:Ostealgia was the most frequent symptom in lung cancer patients with bone metastases.The sites of bone metastases were:thoracic bones(41.52%),vertebras(32.31%),pelvic bones(15.89%),extremities(8.68%),skull(1.60%).126 patients had multiple bone metastases(80.25%).There was a statistical significance of bone metastases in adenocarcinoma patients(48.09%)compared with in squamous cell carcinoma patients(33.33%)(P

Objective　To evaluate the efficiency of low molecular weight heparin(LMWH, fraxiparine) given as a single predialysis bolus injection with reused dialyzers in comparison with standard heparin(SH) administered with a continuous infusion. Methods　30 hemodialysis patients were studied in a radomized crossover fashion. Dialyzers fibrer bundle volumes(FBV), predialysis hemocrit and 2 h clearance of urea, creatinine were observed in the first, the fourth dialysis. The plasma heparin activities(anti-Fxa levels) were measured by the chromogenic substrate assay in 0 h, 2 h, 4 h of dialysis. Results　Significant increase (P<0.05) was seen in the number of dialyzer reuse in LMWH group compared with SH group; there was not significant decrease in dialysis FBV as well as 2 h clearance of urea, creatinine (P>0.05); in addition, the plasma heparin activity(anti-Fxa levels) were comparable in both groups after 2 h of dialysis, however, they were significantly higher after 4 h in the LMWH than those in the SH group (P<0.05). Conclusion　LMWH as a single bolus dose can prevent decrease in dialyzer clearance. It is clinically worthy of further popularity.

Objective To explore the possible effects on differentiation of SHI-1 cells induced by puerariae radix flavones(PRF)in vitro.Methods SHI-1 cells were treated with PRF in various concertration,then the inhibitory effects of cell proliferation were detected by MTT assay,the cell cycles were analyzed by flow cytometry(FCM),the cells reduction rates were detected by NBT reduction test,and the expression of CD11b and CD14 were tested by FCM.Results 10-50 μg/ml PRF could inhibit the proliferation of SHI-1 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner,and the cell cycles were arrested in S phase.When SHI-1 cells were treated with 10,30 and 50 μg/ml PRF in 48 houres respectively,the NBT reduction rates of cells were increased in a dose-dependent with PRF(P＜0.05),and the expression of cells surface differentiation antigen CD14 was also increased along with the concentration of PRF.Conclusion The SHI-1 cells could be induced to differentiation partially after treated with 10,30 and 50 μg/ml PRF in vitro.

Objective curcumin can suppress the proliferation , induce apoptosis and partial differentiation , and inhibit the migration of many kinds of tumor cells .The aim of this study was to investigate the expressions of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPKs) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) when the proliferation of human multiple myeloma RPMI8226 cells was inhibited by curcumin in vitro, and to reveal the antitumor molecular mechanism of curcumin . Methods RPMI8226 cells were treated with various concentrations of curcumin for different periods of times .The inhibitory rate of curcumin on cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay , the cell cycle analyzed by flow cytometry , the protein levels of MAPKs measured by Western blot , and the activity of MMPs analyzed by Gelatin zymography . Results Curcumin inhibited the proliferation of RPMI 8226 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner , and the cell cycle was arrested in the G 2/M phase ([12.72 ±0.68]%vs [4.79 ±0.15]%).The expressions of JNK and p-JNK showed a con-centration-dependent increase in the RPMI8226 cells treated with curcumin at 6.25, 12.50, and 25.00 μmol/L, respectively (P<0.01) , but the expressions of ERK 1/2 and P38 MAPK did not change significantly compared with the control group (P>0.05).In addition, the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were decreased in a dose-depend-ent manner in the supernatant of RPMI8226 cells ( P <0.01). Conclusion A certain concentration of curcumin could not only acti-vate the JNK signalling pathway of the MAPKs family and induce the apoptosis of RPMI8226 cells, but also inhibit the activity of MMPs and influence the invasion and metastasis of RPMI 8226 cells.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) has emerged as a promising anticancer drug target due to its key role in the DNA repair process. It can polymerize ADP-ribose units on its substrate proteins which are involved in the regulation of DNA repair. In this work, a novel series of para-substituted 1-benzyl-quinazoline-2, 4 (1H, 3H)-diones was designed and synthesized, and the inhibitory activities against PARP-1 of compounds 7a-7e, 8a-8f, 9a-9c and 10a-10c were evaluated. Of all the tested compounds, nine compounds displayed inhibitory activities with IC50 values ranging from 4.6 to 39.2 micromol x L(-1). In order to predict the binding modes of the potent molecules, molecular docking was performed using CDOCKER algorithm, and that will facilitate to further develop more potent PARP-1 inhibitors with a quinazolinedione scaffold.

Aim To investigate the effect of α1-anti-trypsin Z variant (ATZ)overexpression on cell autoph-agy.Methods HEK 293T cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1 zeo+/ATM or pcDNA3.1 zeo+/ATZ,e-qual amount of empty vector was used as control.Cells were treated with NH4Cl for 4 hours and processed for detecting ATZ,LC3 and p62 by immunoblot.Mean-while ,expression and intracellular localization of ATZ, LC3 in 293 T cells were observed with double labeled immunofluorescence.The mRNA levels of autophagy-related genes were measured by real-time PCR.Immu-nohistochemistry was used to observe the morphology of ATZ-positive cells.Results Compared with the control,higher LC3Ⅱ levels and LC3 puncta were observed in ATZ transfected cells.Meanwhile,the levelsof p62 were decreased in ATZ transfected cells,andreversed by NH4 Cl (25 mmol·L -1 )treatment.Overexpression of ATZ increased the mRNA levels of Atg5and Atg12,but had no obvious influence on Beclin1.ATZoverexpressing cells presented abnormal morphologies.The nuclei became reduced,condensed,and even disappeared in ATZpositive cells.Conclusion ATZ overexpression increases autophagy activity whichmay be related to increasing Atg5 and Atg12 levels.

Objective:The study aims to screen chemosensitivity-associated proteins in colorectal carcinoma tissues by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry,then identify some differentially-expressed proteins. Methods:The patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma were confirmed by clinical diagnosis. Fresh carcinoma specimens were collected by biopsy and preserved in liquid N2. The tissues were classified into two groups: high sensitivity group (HS) and low sensitivity group (LS) based on drug sensitivity test. The total proteins were extracted and separated by 2-DE. The images were composed, compared, and differentially analyzed to identify the proteins with differential expression in HS and LS groups. Then the differentially-expressed protein spots were incised from the gels and digested by trypsin. The peptide mass fingerprintings (PMF) was acquired after matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and the proteins were identified by data searching in the Mascot database. Two proteins with differential expression were detected by Western blotting.Results:The 2-DE spectrum of HS and LS groups were established. Most protein spots were distributed in the area with pH 4-8 and relative molecular weight of (20-100)×10~3. The average number of the protein spots was 842±23 in HS group and 793±19 in LS group,respectively. The mean matching rate was 90.7%. The number of differentially-expressed dots between HS and LS group was 79.00±13.56. Thirty protein dots were selected for mass spectrum and bioinformatic analysis, and 9 proteins were identified. Conclusion:Colorectal carcinoma with different chemosensitivity had differential protein expression profiles. The differentially expressed proteins may be associated with chemosensitivity and could be used for prediction of chemosensitivity of colorectal carcinoma.
