Objective To evaluate the possibility and efficiency of nanoparticles as a new vector in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene transfection. Methods Nanoparticle-VEGF (Np/VEGF)complex was prepared with poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) loading VEGF165 gene using the multiple emulsion (w/o/w) technique. The envelopment efficiency and size of the complex were determined. Rat myocardial cells were cultured in vitro, and the Np/VEGF was transfected into the cultured myocardial cells. Then RT-PCR and ELISA were used to evaluate whether the Np/VEGF increased the level of gene expression. Four New Zealand rabbits were used, the suspension of Np/VEGF was injected into myocardial tissue of rabbits after thoracotomy. 96h after the operation, the tissue sections of the implant sites were observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM) to determine the process of nanoparticles as vectors for gene transfer to cardiac myocytes. Results The envelopment efficiency and size of the Np/VEGF complex thus prepared were 1.87% and 25-300nm respectively. RT-PCR and ELISA showed that VEGF gene could be successfully transfected into myocardial cells by nanoparticle, and NP/VEGF significantly enhanced gene transfection efficiency, and it was more effective than plasmid. 96h after the operation, a great number of nanoparticles were observed in myocardial cytoplasm and nucleus with TEM, and many nanoparticles began to dissolve and degrade, suggesting that the DNA was released slowly from the nanoparticles localized in the cytoplasmic compartment, and was then transferred into the nucleus. Conclusions NP/VEGF can act as a vector to transfect VEGF gene in vitro and in vivo, it significantly enhanced gene transfection efficiency, and it was more effective than plasmid.

Objective To study the effect of tetramethylpyrazine injection on proliferation and apoptosis of human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line Jurkat and the relevant molecular mechanisms.Methods Cells were treated with tetramethylpyrazine injection at various concentrations (0,0.25,0.50,0.75,1.00,1.25 and 1.50 mg/ml),CCK-8 method was used to detect the inhibition rates at 24,48 and 72 h.After cells were treated with different concentrations of tetramethylpyrazine injection (0,0.50,1.00 and 1.50 mg/ml) for 48 h,the cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry,and the Aurora-B and Survivin protein expression were analyzed by Western blot.Results Compared with the control group (cells without tetramethylpyrazine injection treatment),various concentrations of tetramethylpyrazine injection could effectively inhibit Jurkat cells proliferation in a time-and dose-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05),and IC50 at 24 h,48 h and 72 h after treatment were (1.33±0.16),(0.91±0.10) and (0.67±0.11) mg/ml,respectively.After cells were treated with tetramethylpyrazine injection at different concentrations (0.5,1.0 and 1.5 mg/ml) for 48 h,the number of treated cells in G2/M phase was increased,but that in S phase was decreased,and the apoptosis rates were significantly higher than that of control group,with a dose dependence (P ＜ 0.05).The results of Western blot showed that the expression levels of Aurora-B and Survivin in treated cells were lower than that of control group,also with a dose dependence (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Tetramethylpyrazine injection can effectively inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of Jurkat cells in vitro,and its underlying mechanisms involve with down-regulation of the Aurora-B and Survivin protein expression.

Objective:To investigate the expression of wild type estrogen receptor(wER)and the ex-on-5 deleted ER(variant ER,vER)in human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)samples,and thereafteranalyze the possibility of HCC treatment by endocrine therapy.Methods:The mRNA expressions of wERand vER were analysed from 28 cases of HCC by RT-PCR.The expression of ER at the protein level wasdetected by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Results:IHC results showed that 39.3% of the HCC speci-mens expressed ER.The mRNA of wER was detected in 89.3%(25/28)of the HCC specimens whilethat of vER was detected in 96.4%(27/28).Twenty four out of 28 HCC cases(85.7%)expressedboth wER and vER.One out of 28 patients(3.5%)expressed only wER whereas 3 patients out of 28(10.7%)expressed vER only.Conclusion:Ninety six percent(27/28)of the HCC patients expressedvER,which suggests that the expression of vER is an important event in the development of HCC.

OBJECTIVE: To study signal transduction pathways in cultured rat hepatocytes in the high nitric oxide (NO) environment of hepatitis. METHODS: NO levels were assessed by measurement of its stable oxidative products nitrite (NO2(-)) and nitrate (NO3(-)) using the Griess method with or without thiols (GSH or L-Cys). Rat hepatocytes were incubated with Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP) to produce a high NO environment and the intracellular cGMP and s-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) in the culture media were measured using radioimmunoassay or with the MTT assay absorbed at 334nm respectively. RESULTS: After incubation of 1.543 mmol/L SNP for 30 minutes 0.63+/-0.06 mmol/L and at 25 minutes 0.98+/-0.11 mmol/L of NO was released in containing 25 mmol/L GSH and L-Cys condition. The levels of both cGMP and GSNO were significantly increased (compared with control P<0.05) in a dose related manner. CONCLUSION: Signal transduction of cultured rat hepatocytes in a high NO environment could be a cGMP-dependent as well as a non-cGMP-dependent pathway.

Membrane proteins are the main undertakers of biofilm function, and also the most important target group for innovative drug discovery and research. About 60% of drugs targets are membrane proteins. Due to the obvious aggregation and denaturation tendency of membrane proteins in aqueous solution, it is difficult to simulate the membrane like environment to maintain the correct conformation of membrane proteins in vitro, which results in the slower-growing research on the structure and function of membrane proteins and related ligand drugs than that of water-soluble proteins. Membrane protein stabilization technology is the premise of establishing high specificity, high sensitivity and high throughput drug screening methods for membrane protein ligands, which is of great significance. In this paper, some techniques for stable separation and purification of membrane proteins are reviewed, including detergents, artificial membranes, polymers, lentiviral particles and so on, as well as their specific applications in drug screening.

OBJECTIVETo study therapeutic effects between hook plate fixation and modified Weaver-Dunn surgery for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

METHODSForty patients with fresh acromioclavicular joint dislocations of type III according to Rockwood classification were reviewed. All the patients were divided into two groups: hook plate fixation group and modified surgery group. There were 20 patients in hook plate fixation group, including 13 males and 7 females, with an average age of (37.45 +/- 14.29) years old; 12 patients had injuries in the left and 8 patients had injuries in the right; preoperative Constant-Murley score was 40.75 +/- 10.40. And there were 20 patients in modified surgery group,including 11 males and 9 females, with an average age of (41.65 +/- 14.83) years old; 11 patients had injuries in the left and 9 patients had injuries in the right; preoperative Constant-Murley score was 42.75 +/- 8.18. The Lazzcano standard, Constant-Murley score and imaging changes were used to evaluate shoulder joint function before and after surgery.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up,and the duration ranged from 7 to 32 months,with an average of 24 months. According to Lazzcano evaluation, 16 patients got an excellent result,3 good and 1 poor in modified surgery group with no re-dislocation, and 1 patient had pain more than middle degree; while in hook plate fixation group, 9 patients got an excellent result, 7 good and 4 poor, 1 patient had re-dislocation, and 3 patients got pain more than middle degree. The therapeutic effects of modified surgery group were better than those of hook plate fixation group. Constant-Murley scores:preoperative 42.75 +/- 8.18 vs 93.40 +/- 4.04 at the latest follow-up in modified surgery group; preoperative 40.75 +/- 10.40 vs postoperative 88.40 +/- 4.81 and 92.05 +/- 4.49 at the latest follow-up in hook plate fixation group. The postoperative scores all improved compared to preoperative scores in two groups. And there was no statistical difference of scores at the latest follow-up between two groups.

CONCLUSIONThe surgery of allograft tendon transplantation combined with anchor fixation to strengthen coracoclavicular ligament, as well as part transposition of acromiocoracoid ligament and resection at the distal part of clavicle may got safety fixation and less postoperative complications compared with hook plate internal fixation.

The traditional fermentation engineering experiment requires a reform on the experimental con-tents and teaching pattern. According to the production process of industrial enzymes, we set up a two-week comprehensive experiment. The students designed and prepared the experiment by themselves. Moreover, the pattern of self-management was used in the process and the experiment scores included the self-assess-ment and objective assessment. It was proved that the new teaching pattern increased the study interesting of students, inspired their initiative and trained their spirits of team cooperation. The teaching effect was im-proved markedly and good ideas are also put forward to solve the possible problem.
