Src family kinase (SFK) highly expresses in many types of cancers,broadly adjusting their malignant behaviors.Paclitaxel is a widely used chemical agent.However,because of constant resistance,the effect of paclitaxel has been greatly attenuated.The present review summaries the recent research progress of the structure and adjustment of SFK and the molecular mechanism of paclitaxel resistance,as well as the regulation of SFK on paclitaxel resistance,in order to provide new references and evidences upon the paclitaxel-based tumor therapy.

AIM:To investigate the protective effect of a new type nerves protectant TQ0701-2,as the derivate of edaravone free radical scavenger,on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury rat.METHODS:120 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,model group,edaravone group(3.0 mg/kg)and TQ0701-2 high-dose group(6.0 mg/kg),middle-dose(3.0 mg/kg)and low-dose group(1.5 mg/kg).Animals in the latter five groups were subjected to transient focal ischemia by the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)for 2 h before reperfusion,while the sham group wasn't ischemic.The rats were injected with edaravone or TQ0701-2 30 min before ischemic and 0 min,2 h after reperfusion in edaravone and TQ0701-2 groups,sham group and model group were treated with normal saline as well.After 24 h of reperfusion,the infarct ratio,neurological and histological deficient and the changes of pathohistology were evaluated.RESULTS:The infarct ratios and neurological deficit scores in the model group were increased(P

Objective To explore the relationship between serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α ) in patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP) and their clinical significance.Methods One hundred and twelve patients with AOPP (without sudden death ) were as AOPP group.One hundred and twelve healthy controls were as control group.Serum cTnI,hs-CRP and TNF-α levels were determined by ELISA and compared between two groups.The relationship between serum cTnI and hs-CRP,TNF-α was analyzed.Time for atropinization and acetylcholinesterase activity recovery and days of hospitalization were observed.The effectiveness of AOPP patients in different serum cTnI levels was compared.Results Serum cTnI,hs-CRP and TNF- α levels in AOPP group[0.75 (0.26,0.99) μ g/L,11.57(5.13,21.62) mg/L,( 12.36 ±5.22) μ g/L] were higher than those in control group[0.01 (0,0.03) μ g/L,3.62(2.31,6.80) mg/L,(7.33 ±4.31 ) μ g/L] (P ＜ 0.01 ).Serum cTnI levels were positive correlation with serum hs-CRP and TNF- α levels in AOPP patients (r =0.53,0.62,P ＜ 0.01 ).Time for atropinization and acetylcholinesterase activity recovery and days of hospitalization in higher serum cTnI levels patients ( 56 cases ) [(7.31 ± 1.96),( 15.29 ± 3.66 ),(17.23 ± 3.62) d] was longer than that in lower serum cTnI levels patients (56 cases)[(5.32 ± 1.03),( 11.32 ± 2.59),( 13.66 ± 3.03) d](P＜ 0.01).Conclusions Cardiac insults in AOPP patients are related to inflammation.Sudden death-free AOPP patients with higher cTnI levels have less response to treatments.

Objective To establish a reliable approach for quantification of colony forming unit(CFU)of Mycobac-terium tuberculosis (M.tb)by measuring optical density(OD).Methods M.tb suspension H37Ra was prepared using low-power ultrasonic or glass bead beating methods,and was two-fold serially diluted,OD at 600nm (OD600)of each dilution ratio was measured respectively,OD600 and dilution curve were analyzed to determine the optimum approach for preparing bacterial suspension,linear range of OD600,as well as linear relationship between OD600 and CFU.Results OD600 was 0.1 -0.6,linear regression analysis of OD600 and dilution ratio within linear range revealed that correlation coefficient (R2 )of glass bead beating and low-power ultrasonic methods were 0.98 and 1 .00 respectively,both presented a good correlation,low-power ultrasonic method was better than glass bead beat-ing method,bacterial suspension dispersed more evenly.Linear regression analysis results of OD600 and CFU val-ues showed that the regression equation of glass bead beating method and low-power ultrasonic method were CFU=2.35×107 ×OD600+4.42×105 and CFU=3.26×107 ×OD600+6.89×105 respectively.Conclusion Low-power ultrasonic method is a good method for preparation of M.tb suspension,combined the measurement of OD600 value, it can be a reliable and rapid method for quantitative analysis of M.tb.

Aim: To investigate gene expression spectra in human hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 treated with gambogic acid (GA).Methods:Human cDNA microarray and RT-PCR technology were used to detect the changes in gene expression. Results: 31 genes in groups exposed to gambogic acid for 24 h and 56 genes for 48 h group were expessed differentially in comparison to the control group. Conclusior:The antitumor mechanism of GA might focus on apoptosis,metastasis as well as interfering with the cell cycle.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of acute kidney injury(AKI) after intracoronary stent implantation in order to provide the basis for clinical prophylaxis and treatment.Methods Retrospectively analyzed 626 consecutive patients who underwent isolated intracoronary stent implantation in our institution from January 2007 to July 2011.Multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to identify the risk factors for the development of AKI defined as a serum creatinine (SCr) 130 to 199 μ mol/L or estimated creatinine clearance(Ccr) 30 to 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2.Results Ninety-three patients of 626 (14.9％) underwent isolated intracoronary stent implantation developed AKI.The results of the multivariate forward stepwise logistic regression analysis found that risk factors for the development of AKI following isolated intra-coronary stent implantation was associated with age (OR =1.570,95％ CI 1.308-1.885),ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 30％(OR =11.526,95％ CI 2.452-54.177),hypotension during perioperative and postoperation (OR =11.074,95％ CI 2.439-50.282),operation duration(OR =1.032,95％ CI 1.012-1.051),sex (OR =0.010,95％ CI 0.001-0.086),NYHA class Ⅲ & Ⅳ (OR =0.209,95％ CI 0.059-0.737),peripheral vascular disease (OR =0.528,95％ CI 0.286-0.973),chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (OR =0.546,95％ CI 0.304-0.982),preoperation Cr (OR=1.418,95％CI 1.216-1.654) (and all P＜0.05).Conclusion AKI is the common complications after intracoronary stent implantation,especially age,EF ≤ 30％,hypotension during perioperative and postoperation,operation duration are independent risk factors.

The phenomenon of secondary ischemic brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage is more common in clinical practice.In recent years,a growing number of studies are trying to find an effective therapy to avoid the occurrence of ischemic brain injury and improve the prognosis in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.This article reviews the incidence and mechanisms of ischemic brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Latest researches have indicated that wogonin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, could sensitize tumor cells to apoptosis, selectively induce apoptosis in the malignant tumor cells, inhibit tumor angiogenesis, reverse drug resistance as well as promote tumor cell death synergistically with other anti-cancer agents. This paper sum-marizes the involving mechanisms of wogonin's anti-tumor effects.

AIM:To study the effect of Exendin-4 on the glucose tolerance and serum glucose level in normal animals. METHODS: The fasting blood glucose concentration was tested at 0,1,2,3,4 h and 2,4 week after the first administration of Exendin-4 (0.1, 0.3, 0.9 g/kg, 4 weeks, qd) in Wistar rats ,taking insulin as positive control. Before intragastric administration 2.5 g/kg glucose, Exendin-4 (0.2, 0.6, 1.8 g/kg) were subcutaneously injected, then the fasting blood glucose concentration was tested at 0.5, 1, 2 h after the glucose loading. After hypodermic administration of Exendin-4 (0.2, 0.6, 1.8 g/kg), half of the mice were subcutaneously administrated 2.5 g/kg glucose 15 min later, and the insulin was tested at the end of the experiment. RESULTS:Exendin-4 could not significantly change the fasting blood glucose concentration at different times. The fasting blood glucose concentration was significantly decreased after glucose loading by administration Exendin-4. Exendin-4 could increase the serum insulin concentration remarkably after glucose loading and could not change much without glucose loading. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the blood glucose regulation of Exendin-4 was related to the concentration of glucose.
