Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL) is a recently identified cytokine of apoptosis that selectively induces the apoptosis of various tumor cells but not normal cells.The members of this family known to date are TRAIL and its five related receptors.TRAIL and its receptors are expressed in ovarian malignant tumor cells and can induce their apoptosis.Many chemotherapeutic agents can enhance TRAIL-induced apoptosis of malignant tumor cells,so TRAIL-induced cytotoxicity holds a powerful promise in the fight against ovarian malignant tumor.

Objective To investigate the effection of Shenfu Injection (Ginseng-radix aconitum Injection)to the blood coagulation system and its prognosis in the patient of multiple trauma complicated with shock.Methods We prospectively studied 90 patients of multiple trauma complicated with shock,who came from the emergency center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Medicine' s college of Zhe-Jiang University and emergency department of Lishui People' s Hospital from February 2007 to December 2011,and excluded those suffered with the dysfunction of coagulation system and uncontrolled ongoing bleeding before trauma.And then these eligible patients were randomly divided into two groups:treatment group ( 45 cases ) and control group (45 cases),the control group were received the routine treatment,the treatment group were received Shenfu Injection in early stage based on the routine treatment.The two groups were measured the platelet count (PLT),prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),thrombin time (TT),fibrinogen (FIB) before treatment and 3,7 days after treatment.Results The differences of the PLT,PT,APTT,TT,FIB between the treatment group and control group at 3,7 d after the treatment was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions Shenfu Injection has positive regulation to the coagulation system in the patient of multiple trauma complicated with shock.

Objective To find the nursing methods to train the neonatal sucking function and accelerate the gastrointestinal peristalsis and the secretion of digestive juice. Methods 80 premature infants with feeding difficulty within two days after they were born were chosen by random. Then according to the psychological characteristics of neonates, took the canonical and practical feeding methods by the appointed person in continuity. Results Compared with before, the incidence of difficult feeding decreased, sucking ability and gastrointestinal function greatly alleviated after using the modified method. Conclusions The improved method could accelerate the recovery of sucking and gastrointestinal function as soon as possible for premature infants without complications, which has practical clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the changes of intracellular GSH content in HepG2 cells infected with dengue virus(DV)or stably expressing E or NS3 protein.Methods HepG2 cells were cocultured with DV or inactivitated DV,l h later the viral supernatant was removed.The infected HepG2 cells were collected 10,20,30,40,60 min,and 2,6,12,24,48 h after the beginning coculture and intracellular GSH content was detected by spectrophotometry.Intracellular GSH content was also detected in HepG2 cells stably expressing E protein/NS3(pReceiver-E/HepG2,pReceiver-NS3/HepG2)and those containing empty plasmid(pReceiver/HepG2).Results GSH content showed a decreasing tendency after DV-2 infection.The lowest values were seen 30 min and 2,24 h after infection,which were of significant difference in comparison with those in inactivated DV infected HepG2 cells as well as at other time points.GSH levels in pReceiver-E/HepG2,pReceiver-NS3/HepG2 were significantly lower than those in pReceiver/HepG2.Conclusion DV-2 infection might lead to the GSH depletion in HepG2 cells,and GSH lost from HepG2 cells might undergo a three-step process:virus adsorption/penetration,protein synthesis and budding.E or NS3 protein stably expressed in HepG2 cells can also decrease the GSH levels.

Objective To investigate the effects of human S100A6 on ?-catenin in human osteosarcoma cell lines MG63 and U2OS.Methods Cell lines MG63 and U2OS were infected by recombinant adenoviruses carrying human S100A6 and its siRNA gene,AdS100A6 and AdSiS100A6 respectively,to up-regulate and down-regulate the expression of S100A6. Then RT-PCR,Western blot and immunocytochemistry were used to detect mRNA and protein (level and/or distribution) of ?-catenin.Results In both cell lines,with up-regulated S100A6,expression of ?-catenin mRNA and protein increased(P

A label-free electrochemical immunosensor using hollow structure nanomaterials based on its ordered porous and big surface area was designed. Au nanocage, with good conductivity, catalysis, and biocompatibility, was prepared and modified on the surface of glassy carbon electrode with graphene to immobilize antibody of microcystin directly. In the absence of microcystin, biosensor can obtain high current response signal of electrochemical probe ( [ Fe( CN) 6 ] 3-/4-. When microcystin was combined with its antibody specifically, the charge density and mass transfer resistance on the surface of electrode increased, resulting in a decrease of the corresponding peak current of [ Fe ( CN ) 6 ] 3-/4-. This change was in proportion to the concentration of microcystin indirectly. Experiment conditions such as cultivation time of antigen and concentration of antibody were optimized. The results showed wide linear range of 0. 05 μg/L-1. 0 mg/L and the detection limit of 0. 017 ng/mL. This sensor has good stability and simple production procedure. This sensor provides a new and simple means for the ultrasensitive determination of microcystins in real water samples.

Objective To investigate the effects of human S100A6 on β-catenin in human osteosarcoma cell lines MG63 and U2OS. Methods Cell lines MG63 and U2OS were infected by recombinant adenoviruses carrying human S100A6 and its siRNA gene, AdS100A6 and AdSiS100A6 respectively, to up-regulate and down-regulate the ex-pression of S100A6. Then RT-PCR, Western blot and immunocytochemistry were used to detect mRNA and protein (level and/or distribution) of β-catenin. Results In both cell lines, with up-regulated S100A6, expression of β-catenin mRNA and protein increased(P <0. 05) and β-catenin protein increase was more obvious in nuclear than in cytoplasma; while down-regulating S100A6, both the mRNA and protein level of β-catenin decreased (P<0. 05) ; β-catenin protein decrease was more obvious in nuclear than in cytoplasma, too. Conclusion In-creasing Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity may be a mechanism that S100A6 involves in tumor development.

Objective To screen mutations in genes including ASXL1, TET2, IDH1, IDH2, SETBP1, MPL515, JAK2 exon 12 and JAK2V617 in 135 polycythemia vera (PV) patients. To assess progreasson and genomics characteristics post polycythemic myelofibrosis. Methods DNA sequencing of ASXL1(Exon12),TET2 (Exons 3-11),IDH1(Exon4),IDH2(Ex-on4),SEPBP1(Exon4),JAK2 exon 12 and MPL515 (Exon 10) genes were carried out using Sanger method. JAK2V617 muta-tion was detected by allele-specific PCR in patients with PV. In the mean time, the mutation load of JAK2V617F allele (V617F%) was evaluated by real-time PCR using Tagman MGB probe. Then, the significant of gene mutations and clinical outcomes of post-PV Myelofibrosis(PPMF)was analyzed. To study risk factors of PPMF, logistic regression were employed. Results ASXL1, TET2, IDH1, IDH2 were mutated in 7.69%(8/104), 5.26%(1/19) , 0.08%(1/120) and 0.08%(1/121) of all PV patient respectively. JAK2 was mutated in 82.22%(111/135) of PV patients with mutation rate of exon12 of 2.96%(4/135) and there were no mutation of MPL515 and SETBP1 in PV patients. ASXL1 mutation was found in 31.82%(7/22) PPMF patients. Spearman analysis showed that ASXL1 is correlated with JAK2V617F (V617F%) (rs=0.298,P=0.002). The hemo-globin was lower in patients with ASXL1 mutation than patient without mutation (wild type). Leukocyte count, V617F%>50%rate, thrombosis and PPMF were higher in patients with ASXL1 mutation than that of ASXL1 wild type(P＜0.05). ASXL1 mu-tation, V617F%>50% rate and splenomegaly were all risk factors of PPMF. Conclusion ASXL1 mutation is the risk-fac-tor of PPMF and may promote V617F%by some mechanism.

Objective To construct a recombinant Escherichia coli ( E. coli) with surface-dis-played lead specific binding protein PbrR and to further study intestinal colonization by the recombinant bac-teria in mice and gastrointestinal tolerance of the bacterial surface-displayed PbrR. Methods Chimeric pro-tein Lpp-OmpA coding sequence was chemically synthesized and inserted into the expression vector pET-21a to construct the outer membrane display vector pLOA. PbrR coding sequence was also obtained by chemical-ly synthesis and inserted into pLOA to generate the outer membrane display plasmid pLOA-pbrr. E. coli BL21 (DE3)pLysS was transformed with pLOA-pbrr and induced by IPTG. The expressed recombinant proteins were analyzed by 15% SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay. Lead adsorption capacity of the cell surface-dis-played PbrR in the simulated intestinal juice and tolerance of the recombinant E. coli to simulated gastric juice were analyzed, respectively. KM mice were orally given the induced recombinant bacteria by gastric lavage for 7 consecutive days and then were continually fed until day 30. The contents of recombinant bacte-ria in stool samples were detected by dilution plate method on day 7, 15 and 30. The recombinant protein with His tag was detected by immunoblotting on day 7 and 15. Results Based on Lpp-OmpA, the PbrR outer membrane display vector was successfully constructed. The recombinant fusion protein Lpp-OmpA-PbrR-His tag was highly expressed in E. coli. The recombinant E. coli strains displaying PbrR on their outer membrane accumulated a significant level of Pb2+ in simulated intestinal juice. Moreover, those strains showed a tolerance to gastric acid in vitro and could colonize in the intestinal tracts of mice via oral infection. The surface-displayed recombinant fusion protein showed a better tolerance to the environment of digestive tract. Conclusion The recombinant E. coli strain displaying PbrR on its surface showed a stronger capabili-ty of lead accumulation from simulated intestinal environment and could colonize in the intestinal tracts of mice. The surface-displayed recombinant PbrR also showed a good tolerance to digestive juice. This study paved the way for further researches on the selective elimination of lead by biosorption based on animal mod-els.
