The hyperamplification in centrosomes give rise to a series of biochemical events including formation of multipolar spindle, abnormal segregation of chromosome and aneuploid, promoting the performance of chromosome instability, which is the main pathogenesis of multiple human malignancies.STIL participates in the formation of centrioles, activates CDK1/CyclinB1 complex and promotes mitotic entry.Moreover, it regulated expression of related downstream genes through Sonic Hedgehog signal pathway.Thus, STIL correlates with gastric and pancreatic carcinogenesis and progression.We aim to review the structure and function of STIL, association with malignancies and its potential mechanism.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern of STIL in gastric cancer and effect of silencing STIL on biological behaviors of SGC-7901 cell line.Methods The expression of STIL at mRNA and protein level were detected by qPCR and Western Blot,respectively.SiRNA against STIL was constructed and transfected into SGC-7901 cell line.The effect of Si-STIL on cell proliferation,cloning ability,cycle distribution and apoptosis was detected by MTT,colony-forming assay and flow cytometry,respectively.Results STIL was aberrantly expressed in gastric cancer compared with that in paratumor tissues.Downregulation of STIL level,inhibition of proliferation and cloning ability,increasing apoptosis and blocked cell cycle at S phase were observed after SGC-7901 cell line was treated with Si-STIL.Conclusion STIL was overexpressed in gastric cancer.STIL gene silencing effectively inhibited cell growth,transition of metaphase and promoted apoptosis of SGC-7901 cell line.

Tutor system has been widely applied in the cultivation of talents, such as undergraduates, graduate students and young scientist.Scientific research tutor system promotes the interaction between tutors and students, and improves the level of personnel training.In view of the problems of cultivation of the young scientists in hospital, we established a model of cultivation of young scientists by setting mentors.After a preliminary practice, more significant results have been achieved.

Since HantavaxTM, formalin inactivated Hantaan virus vaccine (10,240 ELISA units/ml), has been developed in 1990 to prevent against haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) caused by Hantaan or Seoul virus, it has been commercially available in Korea. Twenty-one healthy people were booster shot once and twice after primary basic vaccination with HantavaxTM. Seroconversion rates were measured by immunofluorescent antibody technique (IFAT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), high density composite particle agglutination (HDPA), and plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT). Seroconversion rates of 21 vaccinees at one year after primary basic vaccination were 52.3%, 95.2%, 0.0%, 47.6%, and 28.6%, and 13 vaccinees of one month after 1st booster vaccination were 100%, 100%, 30.7%, 100% and 100% by IFAT, ELISA (IgG, IgM), HDPA and PRNT, respectively. Seroconversion rates declined slightly by twenty months, and they were 84.6%, 92.3%, 0.0%, 84.6% and 69.2% by IFAT, ELISA (IgG, IgM), HDPA and PRNT, respectively. Seroconversion rates of 9 vaccinees at three months after 2nd booster vaccination were 100%, 100%, 0.0%, 100%, and 88.9%, and 16 vaccinees at one year after the 2nd booster vaccination were 87.5%, 93.8%, 0.0%, 87.5% and 81.3% by IFAT, ELISA (IgG, IgM), HDPA and PRNT, respectively. Based on the above result HantavaxTM has proved a vigorous anamnestic response after the 1st and the 2nd booster vaccination and has persisted higher fluorescence, agglutination and neutralizing antibody titers in vaccinees.

Three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence spectra and thin layer fluorescence chromatogram of common Camptotheca fruit (CCF) crude drug, camptothecin (CPT) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) have been studied, and a novel fluorimetric method for determination of CPT in CCF crude drug has been established. In 3D fluorescence spectra, CPT presented 3 fluorescence peaks with excitation wavelengths lambdaex of 215, 255 and 365 nm, separately, and all peaks with emission wavelength lambdaem of 430 nm. HCPT presented 4 fluorescence peaks with lambdaex of 220, 265, 325 and 375 nm, separately, and all peaks with lambdaem of 555 nm. The fluorescence of CPT is much stronger than that of HCPT. Comparison of 3D fluorescence spectra and analysis of thin layer fluorescence chromatogram revealed that the main fluorescent component of CCF is CPT. HCPT and other components basically do not interfere with the fluorescence of CPT. Under the condition of pH 3.0-6.7, CCF aqueous solution can produce strong and steady fluorescence. Using methanol as solvent, the extracting solution of CCF was prepared, and diluted properly with water, then measured fluorescence intensity at lambdaex/lambdaem = 365/430 nm to determine the content of CPT. A linear calibration curve covered the concentration range 0.002 35-0.235 microg x mL(-1). The regression equation was IF = 9 + 30,844 c, with correlation coefficient r = 0.999 (n=9). The method has been applied to the analysis of CPT in a CCF sample, with a result of 0.127% and a spiked recovery rate of 102%. The reliability of the method has been verified by a thin layer chromatography-fluorescence scanning method. Experimental results demonstrated that this method can be used for quality evaluation of CCF crude drug.

Objective To investigate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t (16;21)(p11;q22) translocation.Methods Two patients diagnosed by morphology,cytochemical stain,immunology,cytogenetics and genetic testing.Similarities and differences of clinical characteristics and laboratory examination were analysed,along with a review of the literatures.Results According to the FAB classification,one patient was M4 and the other one was M1.The cytogenetic aberrations were 46,XY,t(16;21)(p11;q22)[16]/47,XY,t(16;21)(p11;q22),+21[4] of ease 1 and 46,XX,t(16;21)(p11;q22)[20] of case 2.Cytophagocytosis and CD56 antigen expression were found in both cases.The prognosis was poor in both cases.Conclusions AML with t(16;21)(p11;q22) is a specific type,which has unusual characteristics of morphology,immunology,cytogenetics,clinical feature.The prognosis of the patients is poor,so stem-cell transplantation maybe the only and the first choice of treatment.
