Objective To determine the existence of RBM6-RBM5 chimera and study its relationship with oncogenesis. Methods Ten cell lines including GLC-20,MDA.MB.231,Jurkat,TF-1,MCF-7,Hela,BT-474,A431,K562 and Raji ; several cDNAs from tumor tissues including lung,ovary,skeletal,skin,spleen,uterus,heart,bone,brain,lymph node,pancreas,prostate,testis and their normal controls and 5 breast cancer tissues were collected for the study.Nested PCR was used to identify the existence and expression level of RBM6-RBM5 chimera.QPCR was used to determine the RBM6,RBM5 gene expression level in chimeric positive and negative tumor tissues.Results RBM6-RBM5 chimera was identified in MDA,MB,231 cell line,which lacked exons 20,21 of RBM6 and exon 1 of RBM5.The chimeric expression was only observed on 10 tumor cell lines and tissues,among some specific tumor types,the chimeric expression was associated with elevated levels of RBM6 and RBM5 mRNA.Conclusion RBM6 mRNA experiences altered co-transcriptional gene regulation in certain cancers.RBM6-RBM5 transcription-induced chimerism might be a process that is linked to the tumor-associated increased transcriptional activity of the RBM6 and RBM5 genes,and this chimera might be a new marker for tumor prediction.

Aim To investigate subcellular distribution and accumulation of ADR in the sensitive and multidrug-resistant HL-60 cells and its relation to multidrug resistance.Methods The subcellular distribution and accumulation of ADR were studied by confocal scanning laser microscope and flow cytometry.The effects of verapamil,BSO,brefeldin A and chloroquine on ADR distribution and accumulation in HL-60/ADR cells were also examined.Rhodamine123,NBD-ceramide and neutral red were used as fluorescent probes to stain the mitochondria,Golgi apparatus and lysosomes respectively were used to identify the subcellular compartments where ADR was sequestered.Results In drug-sensitive cell line HL-60,ADR fluorescence distributed evenly in the nucleus and cytoplasm,while in multidrug-resistant cell line HL-60/ADR,ADR fluorescence distributed in a punctated pattern in the cytoplasm and was reduced in the nucleus.The mode of ADR distribution in HL-60/ADR cells is highly similar to that of NBD-ceramide.BSO and brefeldin A,instead of verapamil and chloroquine could reverse the abnormal distribution and accumulation of ADR in HL-60/ADR cells.Conclusions The change of ADR distribution and reduction of ADR accumulation in multidrug-resistant cell line was involved in the mechanism of multidrug resistance.

BACKGROUND: Serum creatinine (SCr) is the most commonly used parameter to estimate renal function impairement, but there are some shortcomings. Many factors including age, gender, drug, diet, muscle mass and metabolic rate can influence SCr, leading to an inaccurate estimation of kidney impairment. Studies have shown that cystatin C (CysC) is not affected by factors such as muscle mass, age, gender, diet, inflammation or tumor. The present study was undertaken to compare the sensitivity of CysC and SCr in evaluating renal function impairment at early stage of shock. METHODS: Seventy-one patients aged 38.3±21.4 years, who had been treated at the Emergency Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University between February 2006 and June 2007, were studied. They were divided into groups A, B, C, and D according to the shock time. Serum sample was drawn from each patient at 1, 2, 3, 4 hours after shock to determine SCr and CysC. CysC and SCr were determined again at 72 hours and 7 days after shock. RESULTS: CysC increased earlier than SCr in the 71 patients, and CysC decreased slower than SCr when shock was corrected. CysC increased at 1 hour after shock. There was a negative correlationship between CysC, SCr and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), especially at early stage of shock. CONCLUSIONS: There is renal injury at early stage of shock. CysC is more sensitive than SCr in assessing renal function at the early stage of shock.

Objective:To investigate the immediate bond strength and surface structure of resin and the tooth enamel which treated by cold plasma.Methods:In the study,40 bovine incisors were divided into two equal parts.In this sense,all enamel adhesive samples were prepared and then randomly divided into 4 groups(n =20).group 1:acid +single bond 2 +resin composite(control group);group 2:beyond bleaching+acid+single bond 2+resin composite;group 3:treated by cold plasma for 5 minutes+acid+single bond 2+resin composite;group 4:treated by cold plasma for 5 minutes+single bond 2+resin composite.Single bond 2 bonding system and Filtek Z250 resin were used in this experiment.The shear bond strength was tested by universal testing machine.The surface of the enamel in different processes was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).Statistical analyses by the single factor analysis of variance and multiple pairwise comparisons were performed with SPSS 1 7 .0 .Results:The shear bond strength of group 4 (8.60 MPa)was significantly lower than that of the other three groups (P<0.05). The shear bond strength of group 2 (1 7.89 MPa)was higher than that of group 4,but lower than group 1 and group 3 (P<0.05).There was no significant difference between group 1 (34.82 MPa)and group 3 (34.69 MPa).Scanning electron microscope indicated that the enamel treated by cold plasma had slight molten form,which was different from etched enamel surface.The fractured surface of group 3 was mix fracture,which was similar to the control group (group 1 ).Conclusion:Compared with the conven-tional clinic bleaching,immediate bond strength of resin-enamel that treated by cold plasma has not been affected.

Objective To evaluate the corneal wound quality of different corneal lamellar-cut depths with the femtosecond laser for fem-tosecond laser-assisted lamellar anterior keratoplasty so as to provide theoretical basis for the appliation of femtosecond laser.Methods Full lamellar cuts were made on 20 human cadaver corneas through femtosecond laser.The 20 human cadaver corneas were divided into 5 groups according to the relative cutting depth which means ratio of the actual cutting depth and the central cornea thickness of 17% to 21%(100 μm,n =3),31% (n =5),35% (n =5),38% to 40% (n =4),and 45% to 48% (n =3).Scanning electron microscopy images of the cap and bed surfaces were graded for ridge and roughness with a scale of 1 to 5 point (1 =best,5 =worst).And the graft-host match was evaluated by photography and optical coherence tomography in a simulated procedure.Results The ridge scores was correlated with the rela-tive cutting depth (P =0.000 24,R =0.73).The 17% to 21% group had the shallowest cutting depth and the fewest ridges (1.25 point). The score of the 31% group was 2.15 point which was significantly lower than the other groups with deeper cutting depth.The roughness score ranged from 2.19 to 3.08 among the 5 group without singnificant difference (P >0.05).Conclusion The femtosecond laser produced more ridges in deeper lamellar cuts and the relative cutting depth of 31% might produce an adequate surface quality for femtosecondlaser-as-sisted lamellar anterior keratoplasty.

To investigate the effects of complex danshen solution and heparin on the changes of blood coagulation factors in rats with hemorrhagic shock, and to explore the therapy of coagulopathy by compound danshen solution, the rat model of hemorrhagic shock was set up, 40 SD rats were randomized into four groups: sham operation, shock, compound danshen solution and heparin groups, each group was composed of 10 SD rats. Plasma SFMC, TM, ATIII, D-D, t-PA, PAI levels and APTT were detected, incidences of bleeding complications between heparin and danshen group were compared. The results showed that plasma SFMC, D-D levels in shock group were higher but ATIII level in shock group was lower than that in sham operation group, compound danshen solution group and heparin group (P < 0.001), TM levels obviously increased in shock group and heparin group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between compound danshen solution and sham-operation groups. Plasma t-PA, D-D levels obviously increased after shock for 2 hours, PAI level reached the peak after shock for 4 hours, but t-PA decreased. After shock for 6 hours, plasma PAI descended, t-PA continually drop in, but PAI and D-D remained in higher levels. Plasma D-D level in heparin group was lower than that in shock group, t-PA level was higher than that in shock group, but there was no significant difference between in heparin and shock groups. Plasma t-PA, PAI and D-D levels in compound danshen solution group were lower than that in shock group. APTT of danshen group was lower than that of shock group and heparin group. Bleeding incidences was 30% in heparin group and 0% in danshen group, respectively. It is concluded that compound danshen solution may used to treat hypercoagulation and hyperfibrinolysis. In comparsion with heparin, danshen posses-ses advantages of safety with less bleeding complication and needs not tight monitor.
