Objective Drug resistance is a major problem for the successful chemotherapeutic treatment and prognosis of cervi -cal cancer .The article investigated the role of Twist on cisplatin resistance of Hela cervical cancer cells in hypoxia microenvironment and its possible mechanism to provide an experimental basis to improve the therapeutic efficacy for cervical cancer . Methods Hela Cells were divided into two groups, normal oxygen group A (no CoCl2) and hypoxia group A (addition of 150μmol/L CoCl2 medium).6 hours later, different degrees(10-3, 10-4, 10-5, 10-6, 10-7 mol/L) of cisplatin (10 -3 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 mol/L) were added into two groups .24 hours later , MTT were added to measure IC 50 and growth inhibition ratio .CoCl2 were used to mimic hypoxia environ-ment.The working concentration and the treatment duration of Cispla-tin was optimized by MTT method.The expressions of Twist and MDR1 in normal oxygen group , cisplatin group , hypoxic group B and hypoxic cisplatin group B were determined by immunofluores-cence and western blot . Results The IC50 values were 10 -5.3 mol/L and 10 -4.5 mol/L of cisplatin respectively in normal oxygen group and hypoxia group, and there was significantly difference between them (P<0.05).The optimized working concentration and work time of cisplatin was 10 -5 mol/L and 24 h.Compare to the normal oxygen group (13.08 ±2.39, 29.57 ±12.80), the expres-sions of Twist (20.81 ±2.07, 24.25 ±4.51, 33.14 ±4.24) and MDR1 (35.26 ±8.41, 60.13 ±22.32, 76.00 ±9.96) was signifi-cantly higher than those in other three groups and which were the highest in hypoxic cisplatin group (P<0.05).There were significant positive correlations among them in hypoxic group and hypoxic cisplatin group (r =0.686,P <0.05;r =0.546,P <0.05). Conclusion The hypoxia microenvironment may be related to the cisplatin resistance of Hela cervical cancer cells .The possible mechanism is hypoxia activates Twist and upregulates MDR 1 expression , resulting in cisplatin resistance of Hela cells .

Methods A total of 113 cases of schistosomiasis cirrhosis esophageal varices hemorrhage and 128 schistosomiasis cirrhosis esophageal varices patients without hemorrhage were selected and their relevant factors were analyzed statistically. Results There were significant differences between the two groups in the prothrombin time,portal vein diameter,degree of esophageal varices,and varicose vein tumor-like lesions(P<0.01). Conclusion The risk factors of schistosomiasis cirrhosis esophageal varices hemorrhage are the prothrombin time,portal vein diameter,degree of esophageal varices,and varicose vein tumor-like lesions.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of hypoxia on the growth and invasion of human cervical cancer Hela cells. Methods Hypoxia microenvironment was mimicked by cobalt chloride (CoCl2), in which the growth of Hela cells were determined by MTT method, the migration ability was detected by scratch test, and the expressions of HIF-1αand Vimentin protein were measured by immunofluorescence. Results The growth of Hela cells treated with 150 μmol/L of CoCl2 for 6 h was promoted. The migration ability in hypoxia group at 48 h was significantly higher than that in ordinary oxygen group. The expressions of HIF-lαand Vimentin in Hela cells in hypoxia group were significantly higher than those in ordinary oxygen group. There was significantly positive correlation between the expressions of HIF-1α and Vimentin (P < 0.05). Conclusion Hypoxia could promote the expression of HIF-lα, which then could up-regulate the expression of Vimentin , and finally enhanced the ability of invasion and metastasis of Hela cells.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum osteocalcin and bone micro-structure in ovariectomized mice exposed to low-iron environment.Methods Twenty-four 12-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were divided equally into sham operation (SHAM) group,model(OVX) group,and low iron(OVX+DFO) group.In low-iron group,deferoxamine(DFO) was injected 3 times per week for 5 weeks after operation ; the other groups were injected with the same dose of 0.9％ normal saline for 5 weeks.The serum,left femur,uterus were harvested after five weeks of treatment.The serum osteocalcin and ferritin levels were measured by ELISA kit,the weight of the uterus was recorded by analytical balance.A high resolution micro-CT was used to scan the left femur for cortical bone and cancellous bone analysis.Results (1) The serum osteocalcin and serum ferritin levels in low-iron group were significantly lower than those in the other 2 groups (P＜0.01) ; (2) Compared with the sham group and ovx group,there were significant decrease of the BMD、BV/TV and Tb.N,but increase of Tb.Th and Tb.Sp in low-iron group (P＜0.01).Conclusion A certain dose of DFO (30 mg/kg) can decrease the serum ferritin levels as well as the bone formation index in ovariectomized mice.

The Logistic regression model established by 11 independent high-risk factors had an accuracy rate of 81.74% in predicting ARDS secondary to severe multiple trauma, which had a good guiding significance for predicting ARDS. Conclusion:Our study showed that there are many risk factors for ARDS secondary to severe multiple trauma, involvingbasic post-traumatic data, initial treatment measures, pathophysiology, stress metabolism, post-traumatic complications, etc. Early identification and intervention may be beneficial to improve the success rate of treatment for such patients.

AIM: To construct prokaryotic expression vector of His-tagged human IP-10 for further study of its biological function in the inflammatory response. METHODS: The coding sequence of IP-10 lacking signal peptide was amplified from human lung cDNA library by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the fragment was cloned into pET-14b plasmid for the construction of His-tagged fusion protein expressing vector, pET-14b/IP-10. After being identified by enzyme digestion and sequencing, the recombinant vector was transformed into a strain of E. coli, BL21 (DE_3). The expression of His-tagged fusion protein was induced with IPTG and purified with Ni+-NTA affinity chromatography. Then the chemotactic activity of IP-10 was determined by transwell migration assay on THP-1 cells. RESULTS: The construction of pET-14b/IP-10 recombinant vector was proved by enzyme digestion and sequencing.
