The de novo transcription of hTERT gene represents a rate-limiting step in the activation of human telomerase.The expression of hTERT is strictly regulated with several oncogene products and tumor suppressor gene products in normal cells.The construction of a reverse-transcriptional virus vector that contains the promoter of hTERT without losing its specificity can dramatically augment the expressions of anticancer genes in telomerase-positive cancer cells,which prompts the use of an hTERT promoter for anticancer gene therapies.Firstly,we briefly introduce the structure and regulation of hTERT gene,and then we also review the present knowledge of its biological function in cancer progression.

Objective · To design and synthesize a series of benzenesulfonamide derivatives, test their inhibitory activity to CDK2-cyclinA2 kinase, and investigate the structure-activity relationship. Methods · Virtual screening was executed via computer-aided drug design according to the ATP binding site in CDK2-cyclinA2 protein crystal. A series of benzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized on the basis of the interaction modes between the lead compound and the CDK2-cyclinA2. The biological evaluation of compounds was made through the CDK2-cyclinA2 in-vitro kinase activity detection system. Results · Twenty-nine new benzenesulfonamide compounds were prepared, and their inhibitory activity to CDK2-cyclinA2 was elicited. WZ-026 had the highest inhibitory parameter, which half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 3.81 μmol/L. Conclusion · By multipurpose utilization of virtual screening, chemical synthesis, and biological activity test, a benzenesulfonamide compound WZ-026 was found, which has great inhibitory activity towards CDK2-cyclinA2. Preliminary structure-activity relationship of compounds was obtained.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare anti-microbicide contraceptive gel and establish its quality control method. METHODS: The gel was prepared with octoxynol and policresulen as main ingredients and HPMC as matrix. The content of octoxynol in the gel was determined by HPLC,and the content of policresulen in the gel was determined by titration method. RESULTS:Prepared gel was well-proportioned and of good viscidity and its identification and test were up to the standard. The linear rang of octoxynol was 250～1 500 mg?L-1(r=0.999 6)with an average recovery of 100.84%(RSD=0.74%,n=9). The average labeled amount of policresulen was 106.64%(n=3). CONCLUSION:This preparation is feasible and stable in quality,and the quality control method is simple and accurate.

Objective To study the relationship between ATP level changes detected by hepatic 31P MRS with the pathologic changes of liver in rabbits and to investigate the diagnostic value of ATP level changes in acute hepatic radiation injury. Methods A total of 30 rabbits received different radiation doses ( ranging from 5,10,20 Gy) to establish acute hepatic injury models. Blood hepatic function tests, 31P MRS and pathological examinations were carried out 24 h after irradiation The degree of injury was evaluated according to hepatocyte pathology. Ten healthy rabbits served as controls. The MR examination was performed on a 1.5 T imager using a 1H-31P surface coil with 2D chemical shift imaging technique. The relative quantities of phosphomonoesters (PME), phosphodiesters (PDE), inorganic phosphate (Pi) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were measured. Analysis of variance was used to compare the results of 31P MRS and histopathology under various acute hepatic radiation injuries, and SNK was used further to conduct comparison between each other if there was significant difference. Results The ATP relative quantification in control( n= 10), mild ( n = 12), moderate ( n = 11 ), and severe ( n = 7 ) injury groups according to pathological grading were 1.83 ± 0. 33, 1.58 ± 0. 25, 1.32 ± 0. 07 and 1.02 ± 0. 18, with significant differences among them (F =22. 878 ,P ＜0. 01 ), and it decreased progressively with the increased degree of injury. The PDE index showed no significant trend for the evaluation of hepatic radiation injury. The area under the peak of β-ATP decreased with the increased severity of radiation injury. Conclusions The relative quantification of hepatic ATP levels can reflect the pathological severity of acute hepatic radiation injury. The decreasing hepatic ATP levels may be used as biomarker of acute liver injury following radiation.

Objective To investigate the levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein 4 (MCP-4), macrophage derived chemokine (MDC) and cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) in serum of children with mycoplasma pneumonia (MP). Methods Serum levels of MCP-4, MDC and CysLTs measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay were analyzed in 60 children with MP including 36 children with wheezing (MP wheezing group) and 24 children without wheezing (MP non-wheezing group), 30 children with pneumonia but not infected with mycoplasma pneumonia (NMP group), 35 children with acute asthma exacerbation (asthma group), and 25 health children (control group). Results Serum levels of MCP-4, CysLTs and MDC were found markedly elevated in asthma group. The serum levels of MCP-4 and MDC showed signiifcant difference between each of the groups (all P<0.01) except that between non-wheezing group and NMP group (P>0.05). As for serum level of CysLTs, no signiifcant differences were found between asthma group and MP wheezing group, NMP group and MP-non-wheezing group (all P>0.05). The serum levels of MCP-4, MCD and CysLTs in children with MP were positively correlated with one another. Conclusions MCP-4, MDC and CysLTs play important roles in pathogenesis of MP and are the major causes of wheezing in MP.

Objective To investigate the distribution and the antibiotic resistance profile of clinical isolates in the First Affiliate Hospital of Anhui Medical University during 2015.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method and automated systems.Results A total of 5 524 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected during 2015,including gram-negative bacteria (3 882,70.3 ％),gram-positive bacteria (1 642,29.7 ％).The prevalence of methicillin-resistant isolates in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) was 57.6％ and 83.0 ％,respectively.All staphylococcal isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid.E.faecalis and E.faecium accounted for 46.1％ and 46.8 ％ of enterococcal isolates.Some E.faecalis and E.faecium strains were nonsusceptible to vancomycin or linezolid.The prevalence of extended-spectrum lactamases (ESBLs) positive strains was 62.0 ％ in E.coli,32.2 ％ in Klebsiella and 18.8 ％ in Proteus mirabilis.Enterobacteriaceae strains were still highly susceptible to carbapenem antibiotics,evidenced by lower resistance rate of Enterobacteriaceae strains to ertapenem,imipenetn and meropenem (a11＜22 ％).Conclusions It seems that antibiotic resistance still poses a serious threat to clinical antimicrobial therapy.More attention should be paid to resistance surveillance and rational use of antibiotics.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of children with lupus nephritis(LN).Methods The data of 116 inpatients from Mar.2000 to Nov.2008 with LN were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical,immunochemical and pathological data were recorded.Renal tissue was observed by light microscopy and electron microscopy after HE,PAS,Masson and PASM staining according to WHO standards.Follow-up results showed complete remission,partial remission,disease activity,renal insufficiency and death.Results Of the 116 cases of LN,there were 27 male and 89 female with a ratio of male to female 1.03.3,and the mean age was(12.0?2.2) years.The incidence of nephrotic syndrome was 63.8 %(74 cases),and acute nephritis was 21.5%(25 cases).Class Ⅳ LN was the most frequent type(14 cases,50%) and classⅢ was next(25 cases,21.5%).In view of the outcome,rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and class Ⅳ LN were the worst.LN was initially controlled in 96.5% of the patients.Relapses of LN were most caused by the intermittent treatment.Totally 32 cases showed different renal injury,and 6 cases progressed to death.Conclusions Renal biopsy is important to diagnosis,treatment and prognosis evaluation of LN.Long and regular treatment is important for children with LN.
