OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical significance of programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) protein in serum of pa-tients with lung cancer. METHODS:80 lung cancer inpatients were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University School of Medicine(hereinafter referred to asour hospital)as lung cancer group;60 healthy volunteers were selected from our hospital at the same period as normal group. ELISA was used to test the expression of PDCD5 protein,and the relationship of PDCD5 protein with clinical pathological features of lung cancer patients were analyzed. RESULTS:The expression of PDCD5 pro-tein in normal group was significantly higher than lung cancer group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The expression of PDCD5 protein in lung caner patients was not associated with gender,smoking history and pathological type(P>0.05);it was de-creased as the decrease of tumor differentiation degree,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The expression of PDCD5 protein in patients with carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)<5.6μmol/L was significantly higher than those with CEA≥5.6μmol/L;the expres-sion of PDCD5 protein in patients with cytokeratin 19 soluble fragment (CYFRA21-1)<5.6 μmol/L was significantly higher than those with CYFRA21-1≥5.6 μmol/L,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The expression of PDCD5 protein in patients with Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage lung cancer was significantly higher than Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage lung cancer patients;the expression of PDCD5 protein in patients without distant metastasis was significantly higher than those with distant metastasis. The expression of PDCD5 protein was in de-creasing as the increase of the number of metastasis site,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:PDCD5 protein in serum of patients with lung cancer shows low expression level,which is related to tumor differentiation degree,tumor marker level as CEA and CYFRA21-1,tumor stage and distant metastasis,etc. The detection of PDCD5 protein may contribute to clinical diagnosis of lung cancer.

In this study, three methods for identification of E.coli were compared. The conventional method was employed to select and identify the suspicious E.coli isolates from a fecal sample. PCR based ARDRA analysis was then carried out to distinguish these E.coli isolates, E.coli MG1655 and other bacterial species. All the potential E.coli isolates and E.coli MG1655 had the identical ARDRA banding pattern while the other bacterial species showed the different patterns.The result indicated that the ARDRA analysis was consistent with the traditional method for identification of E.coli and could be the practical method for distinguishing E.coli from other intestinal bacterial species. The ERIC-PCR analysis provided abundant polymorphism between different E.coli isolates, and might be a powerful approach for elucidating the genetic diversity among isolates of the same species.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the dosage-efficacy/toxicity relationship of prepared rhubarb, in order to explore the bidirectional effects in hepatoprotection and hepatotoxicity of prepared rhubarb and the objective authenticity for attenuating toxicity by processing.

METHODNormal and pathological animals were adopted simultaneous to investigate the effect of total extracts from prepared rhubarb within a high dose range (2.0, 5.4, 14.7, 40.0 g x kg(-1) x d(-1)) on normal state, biochemical index and histopathology of experimental animals. The factor analytic approach was used to analyze the dosage-efficacy/toxicity relationship of prepared rhubarb.

RESULTThe factor analytic approach was used to extract two common factors from the nine biochemical indexes. The firs common factor was mainly dominated by HA, LN and TGF-β1, and could be explained as fibrotic factors. The second common factor was mainly dominated by ALT, AST and ALP, and could be explained as cellular factor. The results of the factor analysis suggested that prepared rhubarb showed significant bidirectional effects in hepatoprotection and hepatotoxicity, which could protect liver in CC14 injured chronic hepatic injury, but had a certain hepatotoxic effect to normal animals. The pathological examination showed consistent results with the factor analysis. Under comparable dosages, prepared rhubarb showed a stronger liver protecting effect than crude rhubarb, with a lower toxicity.

CONCLUSIONAlthough prepared rhubarb has a certain hepatotoxic effect to normal animals, it has also a significant therapeutic effect to animals with liver injury. The results proved the symptom-based prescription theory and the scientificity of the symptom-based medication. The symptom-based prescription theory is important to correctly realize the dosage-efficacy/toxicity relationship of traditional Chinese medicines and guide the symptom-based medication.
