Objective To investigate the effect of TCF21 on human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells , and to reveal the role of TCF21 in the development of NSCLC. Methods Overexpression of TCF21 in NSCLC A549 cells was mediated by lentivirus vector. TCF21 protein expression was identified by Western blotting assay. The experimental group, negative control group and the blank control group were set up. A549 cells were subcuta-neously seeded in BALB/c nude mice on the left armpit. Results TCF21 was successful overexpressed in the ex-perimental group. Compared with the negative control group and the blank control group , the tumor growth was slow, and the final tumor volume was significantly reduced in the experimental group. Conclusion Overexpression of TCF21 can inhibit the tumor growth of NSCLC in nude mice , indicating that TCF21 may play an important role in NSCLC development.

Thalidomide has anti-tumor effects such as anti-tumor angiogenesis,improvement of immune function and cachexia of patients with advanced tumors,which has been effectively used in elderly patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer,chemotherapy resistant advanced colorectal cancer,advanced hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic breast cancer.As the in-depth study of the anti-tumor mechanism of thalidomide, more and more clinical researches have focused on the function of thalidomide on non-hematological malignan-cies,especially it has obtained some achivements in the postoperative adjuvant therapy for high-risk colorectal cancer and primary hepatocellular carcinoma and the salvage therapy for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and refractory gynecological tumor.

OBJECTIVE To study the resistant characteristics and the resistant mechanisms of Gram-negative bacilli(G-) to ?-lactam antibiotics in the local nosocomial infections.METHODS The effects of efflux pump inhibitor on MICs were determined.Phenotypes and isoelectric points of ?-lactamases(Bla) were determined.Bla Genes were amplified and sequenced.RESULTS Of all tested isolates,the resistant rates to the most antibiotics were high.Besides 10.5% isolates with the efflux pumps,all tested isolates produced Bla,among which extended spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs),cephalosporin ?-lactamase(AmpC Bla) and metallo-?-lactamase were responsible for 42.1%,17.5% and 7.0% isolates,respectively.The complete nucleotide sequences of the ampC genes in 8 Enterobacter cloacae isolates had very high homology with the ampC gene in E.cloacae ECLC074.CONCLUSIONS The production of Bla is the main resistant mechanism of G-to ?-lactam antibiotics.ESBLs are the most frequent Bla.All of the ampC genes of AmpC Bla-producing E.cloacae originate from the ampC gene in E.cloacae ECLC074.Imipenen is the best choice for the treatment of the infections caused by multidrug resistant G-.Piperacillin/tazobactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam can be used to treat the infections caused by drug-resistant non-fermentative bacilli.Amikacin is effective to treat the infections caused by AmpC Bla-producing E.cloacae.

Objective To study the changes of postprandial plasma C-reactive protein(CRP)concentrations after a high-fat meal (800 calorie;50g fat) in patients at high risk of cardiovascular event,and explore the influence of simvastatin on CRP concentration in very short time. Methods 70 patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease were randomly divided into two groups to accept either simvastatin (20mg/d) (SIM group, n=36)or placebo (ROU group, n=34) at the base of routine therapy. All patients received an oral high-fat meal at baseline and one week later. The concentrations of plasma triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and CRP in fasting state and at 4 hours postprandially were measured. Results The postprandial plasma TG and CRP concentrations increased significantly ( P

Background and purpose:Esophageal cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in our country. Anastomotic stenosis is a common complication after resection of esophageal cancer, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients after operation. By changing anastomosis, this study explored the methods for prevention of anastomotic stenosis after esophageal cancer surgery.Methods:Patients were randomly divided into groups. Patients admitted on odd dates were placed in the control group whereas patients admitted on even dates were placed in the experimental group. Patients in the control group were treated with gastroesophageal anastomosis using anastomat for gastroesophageal anastomosis. Anastomotic stomach was contracted by purse string suture at first, and then treated with stapler gastroesophageal anastomosis, before the gastroesophageal anastomosis was carried out on patients in the experimental group. After 6 months’ follow-up, the incidences of anastomotic stenosis between the two groups were compared.Results:The postoperative anastomotic stenosis rate in the control group was 19.2%, while that in the exper-imental group was 0%. There were statistically signiifcant differences between them (χ2=22.8,P<0.005). The incidence of anastomotic stenosis in the control group was signiifcantly higher than that in the experimental group.Conclusion:Anastomotic stomach contracted by purse string suture before stapler gastroesophageal anastomosis can effectively reduce the occurrence of anastomotic stenosis after esophageal cancer surgery.

The sfa1 gene encoded a bifunctional enzyme with the activities of both alcohol dehydrogenase and glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.The gene disruption cassette produced by PCR using the same long oligonucleotides which comprise 19 or 22 nucleotides complementary to sequences in the templates(pUG6 and pUG66 marker plasmid)at 3' end and 45 nucleotides at 5' end that annealed to sites upstream or downstream of the genomic target sequence to be deleted.After two linear disruption cassettes with a Cre/loxP mediated marker were transformed into the cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae YS-1,the positive transformants were checked by PCR to correct the integration of the cassette and concurrent deletion of the chromosomal target sequence.Once correctly integrated into the genome,the select marker can be efficiently rescued by transformating the plasmid pSH47 into YS-1 and inducing the Cre expression with a Cre/loxP-mediated marker removal procedure.The expression of the Cre recombinase finally resulted in the removal of the marker gene,leaving behind a single loxP site at the chromosomal locus.The diploid mutant YS-1-sfa1 was generated,which could enhance the output of ethanol with 8.0% by shaking culture in flask compared with the original strain YS-1.

RAPD molecular marker was widely applied to the studies of edible fungi due to it’s simplicity , rapidity and economy. The principle of RAPD molecular marker and its applications to edible fungi were summarized. The applications of RAPD to edible fungi were introduced in species and parental strain identification,genetic diversity, gene clone, gene isolation and the construction of gene linkage map. RAPD molecular marker provids a powerful tool for the studies of edible fungi.
