Purpose:To study the effect of inhibition of telomerase activity and cell cycle by transcriptase telomerase inhibitors (3′ azido 3′ deoxythymidine, AZT) on squamous cell carcinoma of tongue in vitro.Methods:Human squmous cell carcinoma of tongue cell line Tca8113 was used as target cell. Telomerase activity was determined by TRAP PCR ELISA in untreated and treated Tca8113 by AZT, cell cycle phases were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results:Telomerase activity of Tca8113 was significantly inhibited when treated with AZT, and the effect of inhibition was dose dependant (rate of telomerase activity treated with AZT in 0.3, 0.6, 1.0, 1.5mol 10 -1 was 0.69 0.03, 0.61 0.08, 0.53 0.11, 0.50 0.02 respectively, rate of telomerase activity treated without AZT was 0.76 0.06). Cell cycle of treated Tca8113 was changed with marked increase in G 2 /M phase compared with untreated Tca8113 (62.8% vs 19.7%, P

Object To optimize the apheresis procedure of mononuclear cells from bone marrow for different clinical treatments. Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells were separated from bone marrow using COBE Spectra apheresis system. Cell morphology, cell counts, positive expression of CD34, CD133 and CD271 were detected, and the obtaining percent of total nuclear cells and mononuclear cells were calculated. The relationships between cell-morphology and CD34, CD133 and CD271, were also analyzed. Results 1)The positive expression of CD271 was correlated with monocytes before and after apheresis (P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the affinity of 20 Klebsiella pneumoniae(KPN)strains.METHODS Twenty nine genes were detected from 20 KPN strains.They were sixteen kinds of beta-lactamase genes,six kinds of aminoglycosides modification enzyme genes,chlorhexidine-sulphanilamide drug resistance genes,TMP drug resistance genes;three kinds of integrase genes and Tn21/Tn501 transposon genetic mark were detected.And they were used as molecule marker for the sample clustering analysis and assay of the detected results.RESULTS The beta-lactamase genes,aminoglycosides modification enzyme genes,chlorhexidine-sulphanilamide drug resistance gene,TMP drug resistance gene,integrase genes and Tn21/Tn501 transposon genetic mark were all detectable.Clone transmission was shown through the sample clustering analysis.CONCLUSIONS The resistance to the beta-lactam and aminoglycoside antibiotics of the 20 KPN strains is intimately correlated to the generation of beta-lactamases and amino glycosides modification enzymes,which could be clone transmitted.

To study the expression and significance of CD44 splice variant V6 in squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. The expression levels of CD44v6 protein were determined immunohistochemically in 40 squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue specimens (24 non metastatic primary tumors and 16 metastatic lymph nodes), 12 squamous cell papilloma and 9 normal tongue mucosa using murine exon V6 specific monoclonal antibody. The CD44v6 overexpression was detectable in 29 of 40 squamous carcinoma of the tongue, in 2 of 12 squamous cell papilloma, in 0 of 9 mormal mucosa, P

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects an d the appropriate treating time of the artificial liver support system through obs ervation and analysis of the changes of the liver function indexes before and af ter the treatment of the artificial liver support system. Methods The changes of BIL-T, BIL-D, ALT, AST, ALP, TBA, ALB, GLB, A/G of the liver fu nction indexes in a total of 38 cases with serious hepatitis treated by artifici al liver support system were observed. Besides, the dynamic changes of the BIL- T, ALT of one case of middle stage and late stage serious type hepatitis respect ively before and after the artificial liver treatment several times were observe d. Results The BIL-T, BIL-D, ALT, AST, ALP of the liver func tion indexes after the artificial liver support system treatment showed remarkab le decline, significant differences existed before and after the treatment (P

AIM: To study the effect of environment of liver regeneration on the proliferation of rat fetal hepatocytes after intrasplenical transplantation. METHODS: Fetal hepatocytes isolated from 3-week SD rat fetuses bred were transplanted into the spleens of liver regeneration model rats with 70% partial hepatectomy. The cell cycle of the hepatocytes in the remnants liver was analyzed by flow cytometer and the density dimensions of the donor fetal hepatocytes in spleen were measured by image analysis system 7 and 30 days post-transplantation, respectively. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the proportions of S and G 2/M cells in the remnants liver were obviously decreased ( P

Objective To explore the change of serum osteopontin levels in preoperative and postoperative patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its clinic significance.Methods The levels of serum osteopontin were detected by ELISA.Results In 88 NSCLC patients,serum osteopontin levels were significantly higher than in benign pulmonary disease and healthy control group(P＜0.05.P＜0.01.respectively) There was no difference between benign pulmonary disease and healthy control group(P＞0.05).Serum osteopontin levels were related to clinical stage and lymph node metastasis,and the levels of serum osteopontin were lower in postoperative patients than in preoperative cases(P＜0.05).For NSCLC.the detection of osteopontin had a sensitivity of 84.1%,a specificity of 92.5%,and an accuracy of 88.1%. Conclusion Increased serum levels of osteopontin may be useful as a helpful clinical biomarker to diagnose earlier,predict prognosis and differentiate from benign pulmonary disease.

Objective To explore the executive function in clinical subtypes of attention deficit hyperac?tivity disorder( ADHD) . Methods 19 children with ADHD/ inattentive type( ADHD?I) ,13children with ADHD/hyperactive?impulsive( ADHD?HI) 33 children with ADHD/combined type ( ADHD?C ) and 30 normal children were tested by Stroop test ( included Stroop C and Stroop CW) ,modified Wisconsin card sorting test( M?WCST) , tower of Hanoi,digital span and verbal fluency. Results The scores of Stroop C and Stroop CW,digit inverse reci?ting,tower of Hanoi and WCST in the children with ADHD were worse than those in normal control((104.8±4.0), (105.9±4.2),(104.8±3.7),(104.8±4.0), P<0.05;(84.0±9.2),(84.8±7.9),(78.2±7.8),(92.2±7.1), P<0.01;(4.0±1.8),(3.7±1.2),(3.8±1.5),(5.1±1.6), P<0.01;(3.0±1.0),(3.3±1.0),(2.7±1.3),(3.8±1.3), P<0.01;(4.1±1.6),(4.2±1.9),(4.3±2.1),(5.4±1.7), P<0.05;(6.6±3.2),(6.7±2.4),(8.0±2.9),(5.3± 2.4), P<0.01;(10.2±2.8),(11.1±3.8),(12.3±4.0),(9.4±3.2), P<0.05). The scores of Stroop CW in the chil?dren with ADHD?C were worse than those in other two subtypes(P<0.01). Conclusion The executive functions of the chil?dren with ADHD are impaired,including poor response inhibition,working memory,planning and cognitive flexibility. The dysfunction of response inhibition is possible an index to discriminate the subtypes of ADHD.
