A novel mode of chiral separation in electrochromatography (CEC) with dynamically modified stationary phase (DMS-CEC) was presented. The capillary column was packed with strong anionic exchange stationary phase, the sulfated β-cyclodextrin (S-CD), which was added in the mobile phase, dynamically adsorbed to the packing surface and a new layer of chiral stationary phase was formed. The separation of enantiomer was based on their different interaction with the new stationary phase. The enantionmers of tryptophan, atropine and verapamil were successfully separated in this system with resolution of 2.06, 10.1 and 1.96, and the column effeciency for the enantiomers were varied from 85000 plates/m to 412000 plates/m. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of void time and the tryptophan enantiomers′ migration time for 17 consecutive runs were 0.5%, 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively. Enantiomer separation by capillary electrochromatography with adsorbed bovine serum albumin (BSA) and sulfated cyclodextrin (S-CD) as chiral stationary phases were also studied. The resolution for tryptophan enantiomers in the two systems were 3.86 and 2.97, respectively. It was found that the superiority of DMS-CEC over the adsorbed S-CD column CEC was that better repeatability could be obtained in DMS-CEC.

Objective: To observe the inhibitory effect of gefitinib combined with DNA vaccine targeting EGFR against implanted Lewis tumors in mice.Methods: Chicken EGFR L2 domain and rabbit IgG Fc domain fusion pVAX1/cEGFR-rFc DNA vaccine was injected into mice and the titer of anti-EGFR in serum was determined by ELISA.The growth of Lewis cells was measured by MTT.Lewis lung cancer mouse models were established and were randomly divided into vaccine,gefitinib,gefitinib+vaccine,and control groups.The tumor volume and weight and survival of mice were examined in different groups.Results: The titer of anti-EGFR in mice vaccinated with pVAX1/cEGFR-rFc plasmid was 1∶1 000.The proliferation of Lewis cells in anti-EGFR combined with gefitinib was significantly inhibited compared with those in anti-EGFR and gefitinib groups(P

The separation of anionic compounds by strong anion-exchange capillary electrochromatography (SAX-CEC) was carried out. It was found that the analytes could be absorbed onto the stationary phase, and this would lessen the retention factors (k) of the analytes, thus the column separation capability decreased. For the acidic compounds, k increased with increase of applied voltage. And the change of the applied voltage could provide different separation selectivity for the solutes. The separation with different eluent was studied. It showed that the logarithm of the capacity factor linearly decreased with increase of the logarithm of the ionic strength. The different retention behavior of the anionic compounds in SAX-CEC and CE was also studied

Objective To investigate the effect of acidic serine protease ASPNJ on the expression of heat shock protein HSP90, 60 and 27 in human chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells, in order to reveal the related mechanism of anti leukemic effects of ASPNJ. Methods K562 leukemia cell lines were cultured in vitro and treated with ASPNJ alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the changes of HSP90, 60 and 27 gene expressions in levels of total protein and membrane protein, as well as in mRNA levels. Results ASPNJ showed different effects on the expression of HSPs in total protein and membrane protein levels and had some modified effect on HSPs in total protein or membrane protein levels. Effects of ASPNJon expression of HSPs mRNA were not apparent, but HSPs mRNA were apparently lower in the ASPNJ and doxorubicin combination group than that in the ASPNJ alone or doxorubicin alone groups. Conclusion The mechanism of ASPNJ on the inhibitory effect of leukemia cells proliferation and the promoting effects on chemotherapeutic drugs may involve some complicated correlations with the effect of ASPNJ on the expression of HSPs and the modification of HSPs proteins.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of total anthraquinone in Cassiae Semen on lipid peroxidation and peroxisome proliferator activated receptors gamma (PPAR-gamma) expression in liver tissues of rats with alcoholic fatty liver.

METHODReferring to literature, it was established animal models of fatty liver feeding with alcohol. Rats were randomized into 6 groups, except the normal group, the other 5 groups of rats had been administered alcohol two times a day for 3 months. Rats were killed at the end of this experiment. It were respectively measured that the contents of ALT, AST, AKP, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, MDA, SOD, FFA in the serum and TG, TC, MDA, SOD, HL, LPL, FFA in the liver.

Objective: The aim of the study is to validate whether the Recognition Of Stroke In the Emergency Room (ROSIER) scale can be used by general practitioners (GPs) in an emergency medical service (EMS) protocol to transfer stroke patients from primary care center to advanced hospital with acute stroke center. Methods: GPs prospectively performed the ROSIER scale and the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS) on suspected stroke patients as a transfer protocol. All patients were immediately transferred to the Level-II hospital for further treatment. Results: 468 of the 512 suspected stroke patients met the inclusion criteria in this study. The ROSIER scale showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 83.13% (95% confidence intervals [CI] 79.74-86.52%) and specificity of 80.88% (95% CI 77.32- 84.44%). The CPSS showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 78.01% (95% CI 74.26-81.76%) and specificity of 70.59% (95% CI 66.46-74.72%). The Kappa statistic value of the ROSIER scale and the CPSS were 0.601 and 0.454, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of ROSIER scale was large than the CPSS (AUC 0.855 vs. 0.791). However, the difference was not significantly different. Conclusions: This study suggest that ROSIER and CPSS could be used in an EMS protocol to transfer stroke patients from a primary care center to an advanced hospital offering thrombolysis service
