With the increasing number of food safety problems caused by the abusing and misusing of plant hormones, it will be increasingly important to strengthen the trace detection of plant hormones in foods. In this study, benzyl methacrylate_methyl methacrylate_based amphiphilic polymer micelles were prepared, and a method for trace determination of five plant hormones was established by using these micelles. This method was rapid, sensitive and reproducible. Through optimization, the best experimental conditions were obtained as follows: 2 g/L polymer micelles, 50 mmol/L NaOH_H3BO3 buffer (pH 9. 2), 15 kV running voltage. Based on this novel method, naphthalene acetic acid in the solution of rooting powder was determined.

【Objective】To explore the role of cell cycle regulators in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) relapse.【Method】To assay p53,MDM2,p21ras and p21WAF1 proteins by LsAB immunohistochemical technique in 69 cases of primary and relapsing NPC tissues.【Results】As compared with primary NPC,the expression rate of p53 or MDM2 protein in relapsing NPC was similar (78% to 80%,84% to 83%),and the expression rate of p21ras or p21WAF1 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously descended (73% to 93%,52% to 84% );the high-expression rate of p53 protein in relapsing NPC was similar (42% to 51%),the high-expression rate of MDM2 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously risen (57% to 32%),and the high-expression rate of p21ras or p21WAF1 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously descended (16% to 65%,17% to 46%).Among of them,the significant rise of MDM2 protein expression level in relapsing NPC mainly occurred in the patients of group 2 which relapsing-interval was shorter than 34 months,P<0.05;the significant descent of p21ras or p21WAF1 protein expression level in relapsing NPC occurred in the patients of group 2 and group 1 which relapsing-interval was equal to or longer than 34 months,P<0.02,respectively.【Conclusions】The overexpression of p53 and MDM2 proteins and the low or negative expression of p21WAF1 protein after clinical cure might still play an important role in NPC relapse,the obvious rise of MDM2 protein level and the obvious descent of p21WAF1 protein level might further accelarate the process of NPC relapse.

Objective To investigate the grading diagnostic value of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging and gross motor rating scale for children with cerebral palsy.Methods Forty cases of healthy children under 1.0 ~ 2.0 years old and 42 cases of cerebral palsy children under 1.1 ~ 2.0 years old were enrolled in the study,and we compared the inspection reports on MRI and MRS statistical analysis.According to the results of MRI for dividing cerebral palsy,and MRS indexing of NAA/Cr,CHO/Cr,LAC/Cr levels were compared;different types of cerebral palsy by GMFM scores were examined.Results Nuclear magnetic resonance(MRI) and MRS could effectively distinguish typical pathological changes in the brain of children with cerebral palsy,the cerebral NAA,Cr,Cho could appear significant formant when the children detected by MRS,could be quantitatively detected with MRS.The levels of NAA/Cr、CHO/Cr、LAC/Cr of different MRS and MRI degree was different,and the difference of moderate CP and severe CP was significant (P < 0.05).Compared with MRS,the accordant rates of the MRI was not ideal,But gross motor rating scale score suggested that there were differences between the cerebral palsy of the MRI and MRS degree (P < 0.05).Conclusion The magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gross motor rating scale can effectively improve the dividing diagnosis of cerebral palsy,and this method for different types of cerebral palsy in children has some guiding value.

Objective To investigate effect of peripheral blood miR-21 expression on the clinicopathological features of gastric cancer before and after gastric surgery.Methods The peripheral blood was collected on the operative day and postoperative 7 d in 42 patients with primary gastric cancer surgery.The real-tine quantitative PCR was adopted to detect the relative expression of miR-21 in plasma with U6 as an internal reference gene.Results The plasma miR-21 expression level after gastric cancer operation was significantly down-regulated compared with before operation(P <0.01),the overall relative expression level was dropped by an average of 18.2 times;and it was found that the postoperative miR-21 expression in the patients with the tumor family history was up-regulated,the postoperative plasma miR-21 expression in the patients without the tumor family history was decreased by 22 times compared with before operation(P <0.05);the experimental results also fund that as the patient′s differentiation degree was changed from high to low,the lymph node metastasis rate was gradually increased,while postoperative average miR-21 expression was changed from low to high,showing the relative expression times of miR-21 were distributed in the four differentiated zones of high,middle,middle-low and low,which showed the correlation with the distribution of the lymph node metastasis rate in these four differentiation zones.Conclusion The peripheral blood MiR-21 detection has the clinical significance to early auxiliary diagnosis and the judgement of postoperative malignant degree.

BACKGROUND:Now most of the researches on transplant hair are based on the patients with enough hair, but there is no apparent corrective effect for large area of alopecia. Implanted artificial hairs can solve this problem. OBJECTIVE:To make and evaluate the γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane/polypyrrole/polyester (KH-550/PPy/PET) composite monofilament as implanted artificial hairs, and to carry out cytotoxicity tests using NCTC clone 929 cels with composite monofilament.
METHODS:KH-550/PPy/PET composite monofilament was prepared in a series of steps, including pre-spotting, alkali treatment, silane coupling agent treatment and polypyrrole coating. The viability of NCTC clone 929 cels were detected after 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 days of co-culture with composite monofilament by using cellcounting kit-8.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:KH-550/PPy/PET composite monofilament had a smooth surface without crack. The PPy films did not come off accidentaly and had good wearability. After alkali treatment, PPy quality on the surface of monofilament was significantly heavier than before. Using silane coupling agent (KH-550) could effectively enhance biocompatibility and binding force of polyester monofilaments. After co-cultured with composite monofilaments, the viability of NCTC clone 929 cels was 100%, 80.37%, 73.26%, 81.96%, 77.50% at days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 respectively. The level of cytotoxicity was grade 1. The results show that KH-550 can effectively enhance the binding force between PPy and PET monofilament, and the prepared KH-550/PPy/PET composite monofilament has good biocompatibility and no acute toxicity.

Objective To discuss the protective effects ofGuiqi YiyuanOintment on damages caused by heavy ion radiation induced bystander effects; To explore the possible mechanism.Methods Totally 42 Wistar male rats were randomly divided into blank control group, pure radiation group andGuiqi Yiyuan Ointment group. TheGuiqi Yiyuan Ointment group was givenGuiqi Yiyuan Ointment by gavage for two weeks in advance. Later the right lungs of the rats in the pure radiation group andGuiqi Yiyuan Ointment group were radiated once by 2 Gy12C6+, while the blank control group received no radiation. 6, 12, 24 h after radiation all groups of rats were executed. Peripheral hemogram and the levels of IL-6, TGF-β1 and IL-1β in serum of the rats were examined. The changes of lung tissue pathology morphology in the rats were observed by HE staining.Results Compared with the blank control group, the contents of IL-6, TGF-β1 and IL-1β in serum of the pure radiation group increased obviously at 12 h after radiation (P<0.01), and the amount of leukocyte, erythrocyte, blood platelet and hemoglobin distinctly declined at 12 h after radiation (P<0.01); HE staining showed that the alveolar wall was thickened at 24 h after radiation, and there were exudate and inflammatory cell infiltration in the alveolar cavity. Compare with the pure radiation group at 12 h after radiation, the levels of IL-6, TGF-β1 and IL-1β inGuiqi Yiyuan Ointment group decreased significantly at 12 h after radiation (P<0.01). Indexes of blood routine significantly increased (P<0.01), and the pathological changes of lung tissue in rats improved (P<0.01). ConclusionGuiqi Yiyuan Ointment can protect damages caused by heavy ion radiation induced bystander effects.
