Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1 P) is a kind of bioactive messenger which is catalyzed by sphingosine kinases (SphK) and mediates various biological behaviors through binding to sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors(S1PR).Researches demonstrate that the aberration of SphK,S1P and S1PR is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancers,such as leukemia,breast cancer,colorectal cancer and lymphoma.The interaction between S1PR1 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is shown to take part in the pathogenesis of malignant tumors as well.Therefore,they are considered to have the potential tumor-treatment value.

[Summary] Extracellular calcium is essential for the regulation of a variety of biological processes. Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) plays a central role in maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis, while G-protein α-11 (Gα11 ) subunit and adaptor-related protein complex 2 sigma (AP2σ) are also involved in CaSR signaling transduction. Loss- or gain-of-function mutations of these encoding genes cause different types of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) and autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia (ADH). Calcimimetic and calcilytic drugs are useful in treating these FHH and ADH disorders. The current paper is a Chinese translation of a review entitled as “Disorder of the calcium-sensing receptor and partner proteins: insights into the molecular basis of calcium homeostasis” published in 《 Journal of Molecular Endocrinology》(2016,57:R127-R142) with the permission from the author and the journal.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of montelukast on the secretion of mucus protein in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced human bronchial epithelial cells.MethodsPrimary human bronchial epithelial cells were isolated and identiifed in vitro. LPS (1μg/mL) was used to induce cell inlfammatory response. Montelukast (50 μmol/L, 20μmol/L, 10μmol/L) was used as intervention. The concertration of mucin-5 subtype AC (MUC5AC) in cell supernatants was measured by ELISA. The expression levels of MUC5AC mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and Western-blot. DCFH-DA lfuorescent probe was used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS). To further elucidate the mechanism, NF-κB (p65)、IκBα、ERK1/2 phosphorylation be-fore and after montelukast intervention were determined by Western-blot.ResultsMontelukast decreases the expression levels of MUC5AC mRNA and protein in a dose-dependent manner in LPS induced human bronchial epithelial cells. Meanwhile, mon-teluskast suppresses ROS generation and NF-κB (p65)、IκBα、ERK1/2 phosphorylation.Conclusions In response to LPS in-duced inlfammation, montelukast decreases the expression level of MUC5AC in vitro, which may be related to NF-κB and ERK activation.

The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) increased rapidly in recent decades and become enormous challenges in China.Lack of effective early warning of molecular markers and dynamic monitoring technology in term of early diagnosis,treatment evaluation,dynamic recurrence and metastasis monitoring are the clinical diagnosis and treatment bottlenecks of CRC.Traditional diagnosis and treatment of CRC rely on a single level of patient information with low accuracy.Based on the system of biology medical model,to carry out a joint diagnostic model,will overcome the traditional problems through a number of multi-level information integration of the joint diagnosis model,will significantly improve the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis of CRC.The major challenge in patients with advanced and metastatic CRC is the instability of the tumor genome and the treatment-induced resistance during chemotherapy and targeted therapy.It is necessary to carry out continuous dynamic biopsy in order to accurately guide the development of treatment decisions.Compared with the pathological examination of traditional surgical specimen,liquid biopsy,such as circulating tumor cells,circulating tumor DNA detection technology,with noninvasive,real-time dynamic monitoring,could evaluate the efficacy of treatment,and guide the precise individual diagnosis and treatment.Today,the new strategy and new technology need to undergo clinical trials urgency,through technology optimization,reduction of costs and improvement of detection accuracy,would quickly extended to clinical applications in future.

The paper proposes and realizes a programmable wireless neural stimulation system which can be used as a solution of functional electrical stimulation to treat neural diseases. The system is composed of two parts: controller and neural stimulator. The controller can transmit pulse parameters to the stimulator wirelessly, and the stimulator can generate bidirectional pulses with charge balance. The simulator takes use of ADCs to sample on the bidirectional pulse output, which compared with preset amplitude to the DAC output voltage to realize the voltage calibration. Through the test, the whole system works stably and the output of the biphasic charge balanced circuit is definite. The stimulator output ranges from 0 to 5 V ajustably, and the frequency ranges from 1 Hz to 200 Hz ajustably, while the pulse width ranges from 500 μs to 1500 μs ajustably. The duration of the stimulation can be set from 10 s to 10 min.

Objective To evaluate tension-free repair in the management of recurrent inguinal hernia. Methods From 1/1993 to 12/2002, 163 patients with recurrent inguinal hernia underwent reoperation, clinical data were reviewed. Results The male: female ratio was 138: 25, age from 34 to 76 years. The primary surgery had been traditional hemiorrhaphy without prothesis in 142 cases (87. 1 % , including 65 cases of Bassini ,35 cases of McWay and 42 cases of Shouldice) , a tension-free procedure in 12 cases(7. 4% , including 3 cases of laparoscopic mesh repair) and unknown techniques in 9 cases(5. 5% ). The average interval from the initial surgery to recurrence was 36?14 months (range from 3 months to 10 years). Recurrent hernias were treated with a Shouldice repair in 71 cases(43. 6% ) , a tension-free repair in 92 cases(56. 4% , including a laparoscopic mesh repair in 3 cases). All these 163 cases(100% ) were followed up for 56 ?1 months (range from 30 months to 12 years) after the second surgery. It was found that after reoperation the recurrence rate of Shouldice procedure and tension-free repair was 16. 1% (11/71) and 2. 2% (2/92) respectively (x2 = 8. 327 ,P

Objective To analyze the differential expression of Stathmin in human cells infected with human-tropic porcine endogenous retrovirus(PERV)and to explore the potential molecular effect of human-tropic PERV on human cells.Methods HEK293 cells were infected with the human-tropic PERV infectious molecular clone.PCR,real-time RT-PCR and immunofluorescence analysis were applied to confirm that HEK293 cells were infected.Then real-time RT-PCR and Western blot were carried out to analyze the differential expression of Stathmin at the mRNA level and protein level,respectively.Results HEK293 cells were infected by human-tropic PERV.Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed that Stathmin was up-regulated in HEK293 cells infected with PERV compared with the control cells.Conclusion Stathmin was up-regulated in HEK293 cells infected with human-tropic PERV.These studies will be helpful for revealing the interaction of PERV and human cells,and for understanding the molecular effect of humantropic PERV on human cells.In addition,it suggested that PERV infection may infect cell growth and physiological functions,even be pathogenic.These will help to clarify the biologic characteristics of PERV and evaluate the safety of PERV in pig to human xenotransplantation.
