In this paper, in vitro anti-influenza virus activities of sulfated polysaccharide fractions from Gracilaria lemaneiformis were investigated. Cytotoxicities and antiviral activities of Gracilaria lemaneiformis polysaccharides (PGL), Gracilaria lemaneiformis polysaccharide fraction-1 (GL-1), Gracilaria lemaneiformis polysaccharide fraction-2 (GL-2) and Gracilaria lemaneiformis polysaccharide fraction-3 (GL-3) were studied by the Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method, and the inhibitory effect against Human influenza virus H1-364 induced cytopathic effect (CPE) on MDCK cells were observed by the CPE method. In addition, the antiviral mechanism of PGL was explored by Plaque forming unit (PFU), MTT and CPE methods. The results showed: i) Cytotoxicities were not significantly revealed, and H1-364 induced CPE was also reduced treated with sulfated polysaccharide fractions from Gracilaria lemaneiformis; ii) Antiviral activities were associated with the mass percentage content of sulfate groups in polysaccharide fractions, which was about 13%, in polysaccharides (PGL and GL-2) both of which exhibited higher antiviral activity; iii) A potential antiviral mechanism to explain these observations is that viral adsorption and replication on host cells were inhibited by sulfated polysaccharides from Gracilaria lemaneiformis. In conclusion, Anti-influenza virus activities of sulfated polysaccharide fractions from Gracilaria lemaneiformis were revealed, and the antiviral activities were associated with content of sulfate groups in polysaccharide fractions.

Objective:To explore the effect of radiotherapy on the FHIT protein expression and cell apoptosis of cervical squamous carcinoma and discuss the relationship between FHIT protein expression and cell apoptosis. Methods:Expression of FHIT protein was measured by immunohistochemical method and cell apoptosis was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP terminal nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining in 50 cases of squamous cell cervical carcinoma at ⅡB-ⅢB stages before, during (Dt 10 Gy and Dt 30 Gy), and after radiotherapy. Results:Of the 50 patients, the positive rates of the expression of FHIT protein was 56% at Dt 10 Gy, 68% at Dt 30 Gy, and 84% after radiotherapy, which were significantly increased compared with that before radiotherapy (36%, P<0.05). The positive rates of cell apoptosis was 52% at Dt 10 Gy, 64% at Dt 30 Gy and 78% after radiotherapy, which were significantly elevated compared with that before radiotherapy (28%, P<0.05). In the process of radiotherapy, cell apoptosis was positively related to the expression of FHIT protein (P<0.05). Conclusion:Radiotherapy reinforces the expression of FHIT protein and induces apoptosis cocurrently. FHIT protein has regulatory effects in cell apoptosis induced by radiotherapy.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the possibility of HBV contaminating environment and transmission through the polluted surroundings. METHODS On the basis of that ascertain the contaminated environment by HBV marker(HBVM) and the relationship between HBVM and HBV infectivity in the blood,to discuss the probability of HBV contaminating and be spreading through the circumstance. RESULTS The positive rate of HBsAg and HBeAg was 26.39% and 11.11%,respectively in these specimens.While all of samples in control group were negative.The HBV DNA positive rate was 73.72% and 100.00%,respectively in the positive blood specimens of HBsAg and HBeAg.The infectivity was 0-10~9 and 10~2-10~9 ID/ml,respectively. CONCLUSIONS The blood worktable surface is contaminated by HBVM.The pollution is from patients′ blood.So the probability exists that HBV is transmitted through environment pollution.

Objective To investigate the antitumor effects of phycoerythrin from Gracilaria lemaneiftheormis.Methods The coarse phycoerythrin(CPE) was ig administered to sarcoma180 mice,then the antitumor effect of CPE in vivo was evaluated by the inhibition rate,thymus and spleen indexes.The growth inhibitory effect of phycoerythrin(PE) on cell lines HeLa,EC109,and vascular endothelial in vitro was examined with MTT assay.Influences on HeLa cell cycle and apoptosis of PE were observed by flow cytometry and annexin v-fitc/PI fluorescence staining.Results CPE exhibited inhibitory effect against sarcoma180 growth in mice at the dosage of 100~300 mg?kg-1with a fair dose-effect relationship,and the inhibitory rate was 49.23% at the dosage of 300 mg? kg-1.CPE could also obviously increase the weight of thymus;PE could obviously inhibit the growth of HeLa cell in a dose-effect relationship,the inhibitory rate could reach more than 70%.It could prevent the transforming of HeLa cell cycle from G2/M to S phase to cause apoptosis.But PE couldn't inhibit the growth of EC109 cell,while some growth stimulating effects of PE on vascular endothelial cell were observed.Conclusion The PE from Gracilaria lemaneiftheormis could observably inhibit sarcoma180 growth in vivo.Effects of PE on different cells in vitro were differ,but showed potent inhibitory effect to HeLa cell.

One hundred and thirty seven pafients diagnosed by coronary angiography were recruited in the study and divided into coronary heart disease group(CAD)and control group.Relationship between serum apolipoprotein M levels and the severity of stenosis of coronary arteries was analyzed.In covariate analysis,serum apolipoprotein M levels were significantly lower in CAD group than those in control group adjusted for sex,age,body mass index(BMI)(P<0.05).By stepwise muhiple regression,serum levels of apolipoprotein M were correlated positively with BMI(r=0.65,P<0.01),and correlated negatively with total cholesterol(TC)(r=-0.53,P<0.01)and low density lipoproteins(LDL-C)(r=-0.42,P<0.01).Serum levels of apolipoprotein M were correlated negatively with the score of coronary stenosis(r=-0.62,P<0.01).The results suggest that apolipoprotein M might be related to the development of coronary artery disease.

Objective To detect epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 19, 21 exon gene mutation and gene copy number in lung adenocarcinoma tissue, and to analyze the relationship of EGFR 19, 21 mutation with copies number. MethodsEGFR mutations and gene copy number in the tissue samples embedded by paraffin and fixed by for marlin from 58 cases of lung adenocarcinoma were detected by RT-PCR and FISH. The statistical data were analyzed by chi-square test.ResultsOf 58 cases, the overall single mutation rate of EGFR exon 19, 21 was 43.1% (25/58), and 2 cases contained both types of the mutation.The overall FISH positive rate of EGFR was 51.7 % (30/58), including 8 positive amplification and 22 highly ploidy amplification. The testing results showed that there had no statistically differences in FISH positive rates of EGFR mutation among different differentiation lung adenocarcinoma tissues(P >0.05), and the FISH positive rates of EGFR mutation in poorly differentiated cancer were lower than those in moderatedly differentiated and well-differentiated cancer (P <0.05). EGFR mutation was closely related to EGFR gene copies (P <0.01). ConclusionThere are high EGFR mutation frequencies and FISH positive rates in lung adenocarcinoma tissue; Combined detection of EGFR mutation and gene copy number may provide a better approach in selecting patients who may benefit from anti-EGFR target therapy.
