Background:Studies have shown that GEF-H1 can activate Rho protein, and is closely associated with tumorigenesis,tumor progression,infiltration,migration. Aims:To construct human pEGFP-GEF-H1 vector and stably transfect into colon cancer HCT116 cells,and determine the expression of GEF-H1. Methods:The gene sequence was designed according to the Online primers synthesis software for constructing recombinant plasmid pEGFP-GEF-H1. HCT116 cells were transfected with plasmid pEGFP-GEF-H1,empty plasmid,respectively,and HCT116 cells without transfection were served as blank control group. Expression of green fluorescence protein was observed under fluorescence microscope. mRNA and protein expressions of GEF-H1 were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively. Results:Human pEGFP-GEF-H1 vector was successfully constructed and identified by sequence analysis. After transfection with pEGFP-GEF-H1,green fluorescence could be observed in HCT116 cells,and the mRNA and protein expressions of GEF-H1 were higher than those in empty plasmid group and blank control group. Conclusions:Recombinant plasmid pEGFP-GEF-H1 is successfully constructed in vitro,and transfection into HCT116 cells leads to high expression of GEF-H1, thereby can provide experimental materials needed for further study on correlation between colon cancer and GEF-H1.

Objective To study the relevance between blood loss, widespread brain contusion injury and consumptive coagulopathy. Methods One hundred and fifty-three cases with severe brain injury was studied about their coagulation data. Analyzed the relationship between blood loss group according to ≥3000 ml and < 3000 ml and coagulation features, the relationship between widespread brain contusion injury and disorder of coagulation;according to whether with brain contusion injury,kinds of bloods transplant and prognosis were asseseed;according to whether with widespread brain contusion injury in ≥ 3000 ml blood loss group,kinds of bloods transplant and prognosis were assessed. Results Compared with < 3000 ml blood loss patients, ≥ 3000 ml patients' blood coagulation changed obviously, with PT prolonging, Fbg and Plt decreasing, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with no extensive brain contusion injury patients, in extensive brain contusion injury patients, APTT, PT, TT prolonged, Fbg and Plt decreased,and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). Extensive brain contusion injury patients with blood loss compared with those without such loss, needed more blood transfusion volume,larger amount of input of fresh frozen plasma Plt volume,the former survival rate was lower [68.29%(28/41)vs. 96.43%(108/112)], the difference between them was statistically significant (P< 0.05 ). In 41 patients who had brain widespread contusion ,the cases with extensive blood loss ( ≥ 3000 ml) were compared with those < 3000 ml, and the differences in blood transfusion treatment, fresh frozen plasma, Plt volume,survival rate were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion When blood loss ≥ 3000 ml after trauma,patients show various degrees of coagulopathy,and when accompanied with extensive brain tissue injury,coagulation disorders are more obvious, and the prognosis is even worse.

A nuclear accident likely leads to the leakage of radiocesium to a large degree,which could poses threatens to the environment and human heahh.Hence,it is very important to remove radiocesium ion from the environment and human body in the aftermath of a nuclear accident.In this review,the new progress of radiocesium ion removal in a nuclear emergency is discussed.The main technique to reduce soil pollution is to remove and purify topsoil.The methods of purification include leaching method,electrokinetic process and soil immobilization.The technique to remove radiocesium from water is mainly via adsorption.Common adsorbents include crown ether,calix ether,ammonium molybdophosphate and Prussian blue.Radiocesium removal from human body is mainly via oral administration of Prussian blue at fractioned doses in a timely manner but spents a relatively long response time,possibly accompanied with some severe side effects,like hypopotassemia and physical damage of digestive tract.Therefore,new techniques are still in need of development to remove radiocesium ion from human body more effectively.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to construct a long-term, osteogenesis-targeting HU-308 drug delivery implant by the layer-by-layer electrostatic self-assembly (LBL) technique, and observe the features of its delayed release in vitro.
METHODSA heparin (Hep) and chitosan (Chi) multilayer was coated on pure titanium using the LBL technique, and the titanium implants were dipped into the solution to load HU-308. The amount of loaded drug and release rates were measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The relationships between the loading efficiency, release time, and multilayer films were evaluated. The morphology of all the multilayers was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
RESULTSThe results showed that the Hep/Chi self-assembly multilayer was gradually fabricated on the titanium surface. HU-308 was successfully loaded on the titanium implants. The amount of loaded drug increased with the amount of multilayer films, except in the T20 group. In vitro drug release study showed that drug release was more difficult in the system with thicker films, and large amounts of multilayer films decreased the release speed. Both SEM and AFM measurements showed typical LBL deposition of Hep and Chi.
CONCLUSIONThe HU-308 drug delivery implant is successfully fabricated via LBL technology. It could provide sustained release of HU-308 over 30 d. This type of implant may provide a new possi- bility of promoting implant-bone osseointegration for osteoporotic patients.
