Objective:To construct recombinant retrovirus expressing human bone morphogenetic protein-7 gene BMP7 and to discuss its apoptosis-inducing activities and the mechanism in liver cancer cell line HepG2. Methods:BMP7 gene was amplified and reconstructed with retroviral plasmid pLP-LNCX by loxP homologous recombination,and then the plasmid pLP-LNCX-BMP7 (pLLBMP7) was transferred into packing cell line PT67 and the supernatant was collected to assay viral titer. MTT assay was adopted to observe HepG2 cells amplification. 48h after pLLBMP7 infection agarose electrophoresis and flow cytometry were used to verify apoptosis of tumor cells,and then the expression of BMP7,caspase-3 and bcl-2 proteins were detected by Western blotting. Results:Recombinant retrovirus pLLBMP7 was justified and transformed into PT67 package cell with supernatant viral titer amounted to 5?109 pfu/ml. In MTT assay retrovirus group had no evident difference from controls in cellular inhibition 72h later (35.1% vs. 5.3%,68.5% vs.18.3%,p

This paper explains the research status of chemotherapy sensitivity test in three aspects of history of development, specific methods and clinical application. Chemotherapy sensitivity test is an important way to achieve individual treatment of cancer, after more than 60 years, there are two major categories(in vivo method and in vitro method) of more than 10 kinds of methods. The basic steps of sensitivity test inelude culture of primary tumor cells, chemotherapy drugs mixed, the reaction mixture, observing the results of detection and analysis of indicators. This paper focuses on basic principles, main steps and characteristics of six methods, such as the renal capsule of nude mice model of human cancer, the difference between staining cell, tetrazolium salt colorimetric, adenosine triphosphate based bioluminescence tumor chemosensitivity assay, collagen gel embedded culture method and targeting molecule sensitivity assay. Through the results of several clinical trials, it can be seen that chemotherapy under the guidance of drug sensitivity test significantly improved more than experience chemotherapy in efficient rate, median progression-free survival time, survival time, clinical complete remission rate, pathological complete remission rate, etc.

Objective To investigate the apoptosis response to mechanical stretch in human alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells A549.Methods First,A549 cells were given different stretch(0%,5%,15%,30%) at frequency of 0.5 Hz for 4 h.Then,A549 cells were stretched for different periods(0 h,2 h,4 h,8 h) at stretch 15%,0.5 Hz.Last,A549 cells were stretched for different frequency(0 Hz,0.2 Hz,0.5 Hz and 1 Hz) at stretch 15% for 4 h.The early apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Results A549 cells submitted to cyclic stretch caused the early apoptosis in a time-,stretch-and frequency-dependent manner.In details,at 0.5 Hz and 4 h stretch-dependence occurred,at 15% stretch and 0.5 Hz time-dependence occurred,and at 15% stretch and 4 h frequency-dependence occurred. Conclusion Mechanical stretch can induce the early apoptosis in human alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells A549,which may be one of the mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of procaine plus compound salvia miltiorrhiza injection in the treatment of Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP) associated with stomachache.Method:35 cases of Pedo-HSP were ran- domly divided into two groups.The experimental group was treated with the compound salvia mihiorrhiza injection in addi- tion to the routine treatment and the controlled group received the routine treatment only.Result:The time of relief and dis- appearance of stomachache and average days were much shorter in the experimental group than in the controlled group (p

Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance rate of methicillin-resisitant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus(MSSA) isolated from different departments in a certain primary hospital during 2009 to 2012,and to provide scientific evidences for clinical application of antibiotics.Methods Pathogens and bacterial resistance to antibiotics were identified using the VITEK 2 compact equipment.The data were got from WHONTES.5 and analyzed by SPSS 13.0.Results There were 517 Staphylococcus aureus strains were detected(MRSA 135 strains,MSSA 382 strains).The rate of MRSA was 24.5％,27.7％,24.8％,27.0％ during the four years.MRSA was mainly found in the department of oncology,orthopaedicsand ICU.MRSA was mainly isolated from pus,secretion,sputum and blood.The 517 Staphylococcus aureus strains showed high sensitive to vancomycin,linezolid and teicoplanin,the sensitive rate was 100％.Conclusion Establishing a more comprehensive MDRO monitoring and hospital infection control system in the primary hospital,and rational using antibacterial drugs at the based of the antibiotics susceptibility test in the treatment can be effective in preventing MRSA resistance rates increasing and hospital-borne.

Exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells have shown great therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine .In this study, we performed meta-analysis to assess the clinical effectiveness of using exosomes in ischemia /reperfusion injury based on the reports pub-lished between January 2000 and September 2015 and indexed in the PubMed and Web of Science databases .The effect of exosomes on heart function was evaluated according to the following parameters:the area at risk as a percentage of the left ventricle , infarct size as a percentage of the area at risk , infarct size as a percentage of the left ventricle , left ventricular ejection fraction , left ventricular frac-tion shortening , end-diastolic volume , and end-systolic volume .Our analysis indicated that the currently available evidence confirmed the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cell-secreted exosomes in the improvement of heart function .However , further mechanis-tic studies, therapeutic safety and clinical trials are required for optimization and validation of this approach to cardiac regeneration after ischemia/reperfusion injury .
