Background and purpose: XB130 protein plays an important role in proliferation and invasiveness of tumor cells. However, there is little research on the role of XB130 protein in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the effect of XB130 is still unclear. This study investigated the role of XB130 gene in the proliferation of HCC cell and its potential mechanism. Methods: The protein expressions of XB130 in HCC cell lines, Huh7, HepG2 and SNU449, and liver cell line HL7702 were detected by Western blot. Huh7 cells were transfected with XB130-siRNA. Then cell viability was measured using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), and cell cycle was examined by flow cytometry. Protein expressions of p-AKT, p-GSK3β, cyclin D1 and p-Rb were detected by Western blot, while mRNA expression levels of E2F/DP1 target genes (cyclin E1, c-Myc and PCNA) were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: The relative protein expressions of XB130 in Huh7, HepG2, SNU449 and HL7702 cells were 0.66±0.10, 0.78±0.11, 0.83±0.08 and 0.32±0.06, respectively. The difference between HCC cell lines and HL7702 cell line was statistically significant (P<0.01). The transfection efficacy of XB130-siRNA was confirmed to be highly effective in Huh7 cells, and the viability of XB130-siRNA transfected Huh7 cells declined 72 h after transfection (P<0.001). The ratio of Huh7 cells in G0/G1 phase was increased, while the ratio in S or G2/M was decreased 48 h after XB130-siRNA transfection (P<0.01). In addition, compared with negative control, protein expressions of p-AKT, p-GSK3β, cyclin D1 and p-Rb, and mRNA expression levels of cyclin E1, c-Myc and PCNA were all decreased in XB130-siRNA transfected Huh7 cells (P<0.001). Conclusion: XB130 promotes the proliferation of HCC cells by regulating cell cycle-related proteins and downstream transcription factors.

Objective To investigate antimicrobial resistance among Streptococcus pneumoniae clinically isolated from 14 teaching hospitals located at different areas in China in 2005-2008 and to give logical guidance for clinical empirical therapy.Methods A total of 1 317 non-repetitive S.pneumoniae isolates in 14 teaching hospitals from 2005-2008 were collected and sent to the central lab for reidentification and susceptibility testing, including 271 isolates collected in 2005, 391 isolates collected in 2006, 363 isolates collected in 2007 and 292 isolates collected in 2008. Most of the isolates were from community-acquired respiratory tract infections, which were isolated from outpatient or emergency department patients with respiratory tract infections or those patients with respiratory tract infections within ≤48 hours hospitalization.The districts where the organisms were isolated include North China, Northeast China, South China, Central and Northwest China and East China.The patients included adults, teenagers and children.The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) or inhibitory zone diameter of 17 antimicrobial agents were determined by Etest method, agar dilution method or disk diffusion method.WHONET5.5 software was used to analyze susceptibility rate, intermediate rate, resistance rate, MIC50 and MIC90.Results Linezolid (100%) and fluoroquinolones (95.2%-99.7%) showed excellent activities against S.pneumoniae.Among β-lactams, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid remained high activities (73.8%-92.1%),followed by penicillin, ceftriaxone and cefepime with year-over-year decrease in activities.The activities of three second-generation cephalosporins were low (36.3%-38.4% in 2008).The activities of erythromycin, azithromycin, clindamycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline against S.pneumoniae were poor and decreased year over year.The incidence of penicillin non-susceptible S.pneumoniae (PNSP) was increasing especially for PISP (from 4.4% in 2005 to 20.2% in 2008).The incidence of PNSP in North China was low (6.0%), while this value were high in central China and East China (30.1% and 38.7%, separately).The incidence of PNSP in adults (15.7%) was obviously lower than that in children(≤5 years:33.0%) and teenagers (6-17 years:38.2%).Conclusions linezolid and fluoroquinolones showed excellent in vitro activity against S.pneumoniae, followed by penicillin and cephalosporins with year-over-year decrease of activity. Clinicians should pay more attention when using those antimicrobial agents with poor activity against S.pneumoniae, which include macrolides, clindamycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline.

Transcranial magneto-acoustic electrical stimulation (TMAES) is a novel method of brain nerve regulation and research, which uses induction current generated by the coupling of ultrasound and magnetic field to regulate neural electrical activity in different brain regions. As the second special envoy of nerve signal, calcium plays a key role in nerve signal transmission. In order to investigate the effect of TMAES on prefrontal cortex electrical activity, 15 mice were divided into control group, ultrasound stimulation (TUS) group and TMAES group. The TMAES group received 2.6 W/cm 2 and 0.3 T of magnetic induction intensity, the TUS group received only ultrasound stimulation, and the control group received no ultrasound and magnetic field for one week. The calcium ion concentration in the prefrontal cortex of mice was recorded in real time by optical fiber photometric detection technology. The new object recognition experiment was conducted to compare the behavioral differences and the time-frequency distribution of calcium signal in each group. The results showed that the mean value of calcium transient signal in the TMAES group was (4.84 ± 0.11)% within 10 s after the stimulation, which was higher than that in the TUS group (4.40 ± 0.10)% and the control group (4.22 ± 0.08)%, and the waveform of calcium transient signal was slower, suggesting that calcium metabolism was faster. The main energy band of the TMAES group was 0-20 Hz, that of the TUS group was 0-12 Hz and that of the control group was 0-8 Hz. The cognitive index was 0.71 in the TMAES group, 0.63 in the TUS group, and 0.58 in the control group, indicating that both ultrasonic and magneto-acoustic stimulation could improve the cognitive ability of mice, but the effect of the TMAES group was better than that of the TUS group. These results suggest that TMAES can change the calcium homeostasis of prefrontal cortex nerve clusters, regulate the discharge activity of prefrontal nerve clusters, and promote cognitive function. The results of this study provide data support and reference for further exploration of the deep neural mechanism of TMAES.
