The abnormality of ubiquitin proteasome pathway is an important factor leading to the imbalance of protein homeostasis. In this process, the deubiquitinase responsible for removing the ubiquitin chain of protein substrate is very important. Its abnormal activity or expression can cause the functional changes of key oncogenic/tumor suppressor proteins, which directly or indirectly lead to the occurrence, development and malignant evolution of tumors. Based on this, the discovery and research of small molecule inhibitors targeting deubiquitinases have become a hot field of anti-tumor candidate drugs. This review will focus on the regulatory effect and mechanism of ubiquitin proteasome pathway, especially deubiquitinase on tumor, introduce the application of deubiquitinase small molecule inhibitors in tumor treatment, and discuss the research status and latest progress of small molecule inhibitors, so as to provide ideas for the research of new anti-tumor strategies based on deubiquitinase.

Serum levels of IL-2, IL-12 and IFN-γincreased significantly after first vaccination and fourth vaccination. The positive rate of DTH test was 50% (5/10), and 2 fold increase of CD8+ IFN-γ+ cells were observed in 6 of 10 patients. Stable disease was observed in 11 of 23 patients, one patient had a complete metastasis regression, four patients had 50% regression of metastasis,four patients had a minor response, and disease progressed in three patients. Conclusion DC vaccines loaded with peptides MAGE-3、 Tyr、 MART-1 and GP-100 can elicit non-specific and specific immune responses, leading disease control. DC vaccine is considered one of safe and effective treatments for malignant melanoma.

Objective To establish homogeneous immunoassay for detecting serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) by using light induced chemiluminescent immunoassay (LiCA). Methods Polyclonal antibodies of cTnI were coated on the receptor particles, monoclonal antibodies of cTnI were biotinylated, and the donor particles were coated with streptavidin, all of which were composed of LiCA reagents. The optimal test conditions and analytical performance of the detection method were studied. Results The method was rapid, sensitive, and detection time was 17.5 min.The analytical sensitivity was 0.045 ng/mL and the functional sensitivity was 0.053 ng/mL.The recovery rate was 104.96%-108.21%;The within-run and the between-run coefficients of variation were 3.88%-5.53%and 7.60%-8.75%, respectively. The interference rates for the endogenous substances were less than 10%. The reference value of cTnI was less than 1.05 ng/mL;Results of cTnI LiCA correlated well with direct chemiluminescence detection (r2 =0.979). Conclusions This approach can be used for the quantitative detection of serum cTnI, and it is homogeneous and is free of clean separation. It provides a convenient, highly sensitive detection platform for clinical practice.

Objective To determine whether the presence of coronary collateral lfow, as evidenced by angiography, has a beneifcial effect on left ventricular function in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by means of early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Between April 2012 to November 2013, 95 patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI successfully were analyzed. According to the Rentrop grade, these patients were divided into 2 groups:collateral circulation group (n=16) and non-collateral circulation group (n=79). The left ventricular function was evaluated within 24 hours after PCI and 30 days later. Results Comparison of 2 groups showed that collateral lfow was associated with better left ventricular ejection fraction within 24 hours and 30 days after PCI. And non-collateral lfwa was associated with more ventricular aneurysm formation. Conclusions The presence of angiographically detectable collaterals has a protective effect on left ventricular function in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary PCI.

Objective To detect attenuated plaque by using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to investigate the influence of attenuated plaque on perioperative period of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Coronary angiography and IVUS were performed in 85 hospitalized patients with AMI, additional implantation of stent was employed when necessary. According to the presence or absence of attenuated plaque determined by IVUS, the patients were divided into attenuated plaque group(n=35) and non-attenuated plaque group(n=50). The perioperative IVUS findings, the blood flow classification after myocardial infarction thrombolysis (TIMI) and the postoperative peak value of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) determined were compared between the two groups. Results Among the 85 AMI patients, attenuated plaque was detected in 35 (41.2%) and no attenuated plaque was found in 50(58.8%). No statistically significant differences in the age, sex and risk factors existed between the two groups (P>0.05). The proportion of having attenuated plaque in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was obviously higher than that in patients with non-STEMI (P<0.01). In performing coronary angiography, the difference in TIMI blood flow classification between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05), but after balloon dilatation the TIMI grade 0-2 in theattenuated plaque group was strikingly higher than that in the non-attenuated plaque group (P=0.003). After PCI, the proportion of patients with elevated CK-MB value and higher peak value in the attenuated plaque group was remarkably higher than those in the non-attenuated plaque group (P<0.01). Conclusion The results of this study indicate that attenuated plaque can increase the incidence of no-reflow and slow reflow after PCI, which is more often seen in STEMI patients. The attenuated plaque carries significantly high risk, and the presence of attenuated plaque is helpful in predicting, the elevated extent of CK-MB value after PCI.

In order to establish the optimum condition for purifica tion of the nucleoprotein(NP) of rabies virus by immunoaffinity chromatography, the efficient and non-denaturative eluents(Mg-el) was obtained by using ELISA elution model; furthermore, it didn't damage the activity of NP. Two kind of NPs , expressed by recombinant vaccinia virus (rVac-N) and recombinant baculovirus (BRN), were purified by a Sepharose CL 4B column and a 2C12- Sepharose 4B colum n. By Western-blot and SDS-PAGE, high purity and good antigenical intact NPs w ere identified. The purified ribonucleoprotein (RNP) of rabies virus 5aG strain was also obtained. After immunized with NP and RNP, mice developed a strong anti -nucleoprotein response and were protected against a lethal challenge of rabies virus CVS strain. There were not difference been observed among the mice immuni zed with different purified protein. These data indicate that the NPs are antige nical and immunogenical comparable to the authentic rabies RNP and therefore pre sent a potential source of an effective ,safe and economical subunit vaccine.

AIM:To investigate the safety and effect of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with Cionni modified capsular tension ring (MCTR) implantation in the management of traumatic lens subluxation.METHODS: Totally 11 patients (11 eyes) with traumatic lens subluxation were divided into three groups according to the severity of lens dislocation, ranging from 90° to 120° (4 eyes), 120° to 180° (5 eyes) and 180° to 270° (2 eyes).The contact LenSx femtosecond laser cataract surgery platform was applied to create the capsulotomy, prepare nuclear fragmentation and make corneal wound creation.Anterior vitrectomy was performed in some patients during the surgery.After capsular retractors insertion and phacoemulsification, the MCTR was inserted to the capsular bag and fixed to the sclera.Finally, the IOL was implanted into the capsular bag.Postoperative visual acuity, intra-and post-operative complications, anterior capsular opening, IOL and MCTR position and intraocular pressure (IOP) were assessed.RESULTS:The duration of follow-up was 2mo.All the operations were completed successfully.Five eyes underwent cataract surgery combined with anterior vitrectomy.Four eyes had been inserted with 2-eyelet MCTR and seven eyes with 1-eyelet MCTR.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after operation was better than 0.5 in 4 eyes, between 0.3 and 0.5 in 3 eyes, between 0.1 and 0.3 in 3 eyes, and less than 0.1 in 1 eye.Compared with preoperative BCVA, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).All the IOLs were stably centered and the eyelet of MCTR was fixated steadily between the iris and the anterior capsule.The common intra-and post-operative complications were subconjunctival hemorrhage, incomplete capsulotomy, residual cortex, secondary glaucoma and posterior capsular opacification.CONCLUSION:Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery can improve the success rate of capsulorhexis, and reduce the difficulty of nuclear fragmentation.Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery combined with MCTR implantation is an ideal surgical method for traumatic lens subluxation.
