The feasibility of frontal chromatography for determining the complexation stability constant KML and total mole of binding site Λo was demonstrated by the accuracy and precision binding experiments between metal ions (Cu2+, Ni2+ and Co2+) and chelating ligand (IDA), in which R2>0.98 and RSD <5%.To further prove the universality of the frontal chromatography, the changing rules of KML values between Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+ and IDA, Asp, L-Glu were examined under NaAc-HAc, Na-PB and Tris-HCl buffer systems.The results showed that the binding strength of chelating ligands for metal ions followed IDA>Asp>Glu;binding strength of metal ions for chelate ligands followed Cu2+>Ni2+>Co2+;and the binding effect with NaAc-HAc buffer was the best.In aqueous solution, quantum computing of binding energy (ΔE) and gibbs free energy (ΔG) between chelating ligand and metal ion was performed at the M06/6-311++G (d, p) level.According to ΔE and ΔG, the binding rules between chelating ligand and metal ion were predicted theoretically.These rules were basically in agreement with above experimental results.The present work provided effective method for studying on binding characteristics of metal ions for aminocarboxyl chelating ligands, thus exhibited a good foundation for improving the stability of immobilized metal affinity chromatographic column and solving the leakage of metal ions from the column in the process of competitive elution.

Aim To investigate the role of GDF11 in palmitate induced skeletal muscle insulin resistance.Methods The C2C12 cells were sorted into control group, GDF11 intervention group, palmitate group and GDF11 combined with palmitate group.Cell viability was measured by CCK-8, and the glucose uptake was determined by 2NBDG.The mRNA level of myotube marker genes(desmin,myogenin), insulin mediate glucose uptake related genes(GLUT-4,IRS-1) and PGC-1α were tested by RT-PCR.The protein expression of PGC-1α was detected by western blot.Results GDF11 had little effect on cell viability of skeletal muscle cells.Compared with control group, the glucose uptake and the expression of GLUT-4,IRS-1,PGC-1α were significantly decreased by palmitate intervention.Compared with palmitate group, the glucose uptake and the expression of GLUT-4,IRS-1,PGC-1α were not significantly changed by GDF11.Conclusion Palmitate can induce skeletal muscle cell insulin resistance, but GDF11 may not significantly improve the skeletal muscle cell insulin resistance.

Objective To evaluate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment procedures for adrenal pheochromocytoma and adrenal ganglioneucoma.Methods Thirty-two cases of adrenal pheochromocytoma and 14 cases of adrenal ganglioneucoma surgical treated between 1999—2005 were analysed, The average of ganglioneucoma was 39 years old (16～63). tumor size ranged from 2.5 cm to 15 cm. The mean age of pheochromocytoma was 42 years old (19～74), tumor size ranged from 2cm to 16 cm. Tumor located in the adrenal area. All cases accepted surgical operation and were confirmed by pathology. Results Most cases of adrenal ganglioneucoma did not have any symptom but were founded incidentally. Differentials were obviously between ganglioneucoma and pheochromocytoma. Conclusion Both adrenal ganglioneucoma and pheochromocytoma are rare diseases.CT、urinary CA and 131I-MIBG are good methods for diagnosis.The final diagnosis depends on the pathology, surgical resection of tumor is a preferred choice.

To investigate the mechanism of macrophages apoptosis induced by stressed Salmonella typhi,macrophages were co-cultivate with inhibitors caspase 3,8,9 and anti-TNF-α antibody and then S.typhi was added to construct the infection model..The rate of macrophage apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry and the contens of caspase 3.8 ,9 and anti-TNF-α antibody as well as NO were then determined respectively.It was found that the apoptotic rates of macrophages were significantly inhibited by caspase 3 and caspase 8 inhibitors and antibody against TNF-α respectively (P<0.01).A significantly enhanced generation of caspase 3 and caspase 8 activities during macrophage apoptosis induced by S.typhi correlated with the increased generation of TNF-αand NO (P<0.01).These results indicate that the inactive NO and TNF-α mediated inhibitors caspase 3 and caspase 8 participate the exogenous apoptotitic pathway of macrophages induced by S.typhi.

Background and purpose: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adult. Due to a high tendency for early metastasis the treatment of UM is very difficult. This study aimed to explore an effective approach for the treatment of patients with UM, we designed a strategy that combined HtrA2 gene therapy and radiation therapy. Methods:pIRES-Egr1-Omi/HtrA2 (pEgr1-HtrA2) recombinant plasmids were constructed and transfected into human UM cells (OCM-1) in vitro. The transfected cells were exposed to irradiation. HtrA2 mRNA and protein levels were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot respectively. Assays that evaluated the apoptosis inducibility caused by HtrA2 gene therapy combined with radiation was performed by lfow cytometry. Followingly, the effects of HtrA2 overexpression on the in vitro radiosensitivity of uveal melanoma cells were investigated by clonogenic formation assay. The in vivo effects of HtrA2 gene therapy combined with radiation therapy were evaluated in different groups. Results:The recombinant plasmids could be successfully transferred into OCM-1 cells and transfection of pEgr1-HtrA2 plasmids combined with radiotherapy caused dramatically elevation of HtrA2 compared with non-irradiation cells in mRNA and protein levels, which was associated with increased apoptosis.Furthermore, we observed that the transfection of pEgr1-HtrA2 could significantly enhance radiosensitivity of OCM-1 cell in vitro. In mice bearing xenograft tumors, pEgr1-HtrA2 combined with radiation therapy signiifcantly inhibited tumor growth compared with the other treatment groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:Our ifndings indicate that radiation-inducible gene therapy may have potential to be a more effective and speciifc therapy for uveal melanoma because the therapeutic gene can be spatially or temporally controlled by exogenous radiation.

Objective To understand the schedule and effectiveness of water-improving defluoridation projects comprehensively in control of fluorosis in drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Shaanxi Province,and to provide a scientific basis for making strategies in prevention and control the disease for the next step.Methods The progress of drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis water-improving defluoridation projects and operation condition were investigated in Shaanxi (fluoride content of drinking water was greater than 1.2 mg/L in the endemic areas) in 2014,and children aged 8 to 12 in 32 epidemic villages of six counties including Jingbian,Dingbian,Dali,Jingyang,Qian and Liquan were selected to survey dental fluorosis.Results In Shaanxi Province,the number of villages with water fluorine content of more than 1.2 mg/L was 5 005 and water improvement rate was 83.42％ (4 175/5 005),water-improving projects operated normally rate was 85.05％ (3 551/4 175),and scraped was 37,accounted for 0.89％ (37/4 175).There were 830 epidemic villages without water-improving projects in Shaanxi Province,and high fluoride exposed population was 579 400,mainly distributed in Yulin,Xianyang,Weinan and Yan'an cities.A total of 1 849 children aged 8 to 12 in the 6 counties were examined,the detection rate of dental fluorosis was 56.57％ (1 046/1 849),the index of dental fluorosis was 1.11.Conclusion In drinking-water-borne fluorosis epidemic areas of Shaanxi,the improved-water rate is generally high,and the normal operation of waterimproving projects is overall good,but the measures for water-improving defluoridation must be reinforced and improved.
