Objective To discuss the influence of μ-opioid receptor ( OPRM1) and CYP3A gene polymor-phism on analgesic effect of fentanyl for abdominal hysterectomy patients .Methods 198 cases of gynecologic anes-thesia patients who were treated by elective abdominal hysterectomy surgery ,were selected in the hospital .The rela-tionship between the fentanyl consumption of intravenous analgesia and OPRMI and CYP 3A gene polymorphisms was detected by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism detection .Results In 198 pa-tients,OPRM1 genotyping was 186 cases,the other 10 patients failed to typing were excluded ,including 89 cases of type A/A,type A/G 76 cases,type G/G 21 cases,OPRM1 the frequency of A118G allele was 31.7%.No statistically significant differences were found in mean VAS score of CYP 3A4*1/*1,CYP3A4*1/*1G,CYP3A4*1G/*1G instantly after operation in the three groups and 24h postoperation.By using analysis of variance with body mass ,age and intraoperative volume as a covariate factors after first 24h fentanyl consumption ,the difference was statistically sig-nificant among the three groups (P<0.05),CYP3A4*1G/*1G group was significantly lower than that in CYP3A4*1/*1G group and CYP3A4*1/*1 group,there was no significant difference between CYP 3A4*1/*1G group and CYP3A4*1/*1 group (P>0.05).In addition,because the OPRM1 A118G interacts with CYP3A4*1G, reducedthe quantity of expression of opioid receptor carrying CYP 3A4*1 and OPRM1 A118G/G,and thus more fent-anyl was needed postoperation to achieve the same effect .Conclusion It provided a theoretical basis and reference for clinical application of personalized medicine by analyzing the gynecological patients μopioid receptor gene A118G and CYP3A4*1G polymorphism.

Objective To investigate the effect of flavopiridol on the proliferation,invasiveness and apoptosis of human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP,and to explore the possibility of its application in clinical treatment.Methods MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation,cell invasion in vitro was detected by Transwell assay,and flow cytometer was used to observe apoptosis.Results Flavopiridol inhibited the growth of LNCaP cells in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent way (P < 0.05),and reduced the ability of invasion capacity.After treated by 10 nmol/L flavopiridol for 24 h,the apoptosis rate was increased significantly to (7.5±0.9) % compared with the control group [(5.3±0.5) %] (P < 0.05).Conclusion Flavopiridol can inhibit proliferation of LNCaP cells and induce apoptosis,which may be applicable for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Methods Using immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of CIP2A, bcl-2 and p63 in 30 cases of nodular goiter (NG), 30 cases of thyroid adenoma (TA) and 57 cases of PTC [including classical PTC (cPTC) 20 cases, papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) 20 cases, follicular thyroid papillary carcinoma (FPTC) 7 cases]. Results In NG group, TA group and PTC group, positive rates of CIP2A were 0, 0 and 94.74 % (54/57), respectively. The differences were statistically significant. In NG group, TA group and PTC group, positive rates of bcl-2 were 16.67 % (5/30), 13.33 % (4/30) and 85.96 % (49/57), respectively. The differences were statistically significant. In each group, positive rates of p63 were 6.67% (2/30), 3.33% (1/30) and 5.26% (3/57), respectively, no significant difference among them. In PTC, expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 were significantly higher than in NG and TA (χ2 = 105.56, P= 0.00; χ2 = 58.95, P= 0.00). Furthermore, the expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 had correlation in PTC (r=0.94, P=0.00).

Objective To investigate the effect of shRNA-mediated down-regulation of the receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) gene on the chemotherapeutic sensitivities in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.Methods The shRNA recombinant plasmid targeting to human RACK1 gene was designed and transferred into A549 cells by lipofectin technique.The protein level of RACK1 was measured by Western blot to confirm the function of shRNA plasmid.Drug sensitivities of A549 cells to cisplatin,gemcitabine,pemetrexed and paclitaxel were analyzed by MTT assay.The protein expression of LRP and MRP were detected by Western blot.Results After 24 hours transfection,the relative expression quantity of RACK1 protein in RACK1-shRNA group was 0.267± 0.470,which was significantly lower than that in vector-shRNA group (0.821±0.109) and control group (0.842±0.060) (F =54.438,P < 0.05).The results of MTT showed that the growth of A549 cells in the RACK1-shRNA group was markedly inhibited.The sensitivities of A549 cells to cisplatin and paclitaxel were significantly enhanced compared with that in the vector-shRNA group and control group (P < 0.05).The relative expression quantity of LRP and MRP protein in RACK1-shRNA group were 0.163±0.056 and 0.246±0.050,which were lower than that in vector-shRNA group and control group (F LRP =19.430,F MRP =61.548,both P < 0.05).Conclusion Targeted gene silencing of RACK1 improves the sensitivity of A549 cells to the ascisplatin and paclitaxel medicines,which might be achieved through down-regulation of the expression of LRP and MRP.

Objective To explore the efficiency and the clinical application value of non-invasive prenatal genetic testing for fetal chromosomal aneuploidy.Methods A total of 1 865 pregnant women treated in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from January 201 1 to January 2013 were selected.Inclusion criteria:advanced age,prenatal screening for high risk,and fetal abnormality indicated by color ultrasonography,agreeing with non-invasive prenatal genetic testing.After non-invasive prenatal genetic testing, the pregnant women with positive result underwent cell culture and chromosomal karyotyping.Following the situations after deliv-ery were designed as the final criteria for definite diagnosis of fetal chromosomal aneuploidy.Results A total of 1 865 pregnant women underwent non-invasive prenatal genetic testing,of which 21 pregnant women were found with positive result,including 14 pregnant women with trisomy 21,5 pregnant women with trisomy 18,2 pregnant women with trisomy 13.The results of chromo-somal karyotyping after amniocentesis or umbilical cord blood puncture were designed as golden standard.Among the women with trisomy 21,one woman refused the prenatal diagnosis,self induced labor and could not be confirmed karyotype.No false positive case was found among the women with trisomy 18 and 13.No missed diagnosis was found among the pregnant women with negative result during follow-up after delivery.Through statistical analysis of non-invasive prenatal fetal genetic testing,the sensitivity for the trisomy 21 was 100%,and the accuracy was 92.9%.The sensitivity and accuracy for the trisomy 18 and 13 were 100%.Conclu-sion Non-invasive prenatal genetic testing can improve the diagnostic efficacy before delivery,reduce the birth of ill infants,and it is a quick,safe,easy-accepted and reliable prenatal diagnostic method,which is worthy to be popularized and an inexorable trend of development in the future.
