Objective To investigate the apoptosis-inducing effect,inhibiting multidrug resistanceassociated protein 1 (MRP-1) and mRNA expression of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) and buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) in multidrug-resistant cell K562/ADM.To compare the effect of As2O3 and the combined group.To determine the effect of intracellular glutathione (GSH) content on the arsenic effect.Methods The arsenic group (0.5 μmol/L,2.0 μmol/L,5.0 μmol/L) solo or combined BSO (100 μmol/L) applied in multidrugresistant cell K562/ADM.The cell proliferating activity was assessed with MTT assay.The cell apoptosis effect was detected by Annexin-V and propidium iodide (PI) staining.Intracellular GSH contents were measured using GSH Assay Kit by spectrophotometry.MRP1 expression was determined by flow cytometry.MRP1 mRNA expression were directed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results With the GSH contents were degraded by the combination of clinic dose arsenic group (0.5 μmol/L,2 μmol/L) and BSO (100 μmol/L),the K562/ADM cell proliferating activity was obviously inhibited and the cell apoptosis-inducing effect was increased in 24 hours.In 72 hours,the rate of apoptosis with arsenic (0.5 μmol/L,2 μmol/L) were (8.32± 2.11) %,(16.75±3.56) %.After the GSH contents were degraded,the rates of apoptosis in the combination group (clinic dose arsenic group) were (82.15±9.28) % and (92.72±9.41) %.The fluorescence intensity of MRP1 in 72 hours of the combination group (clinic dose arsenic group) was 8.20±0.92 and 10.40±2.33.The MRP1 attenuated effect of the combination group (clinic dose arsenic group) was obviously stronger than that of the high dose arsenic group (21.30±3.09).Conclusions The intracellular GSH contents closely correlate with the arsenic effect.The cell apoptosis-inducing effect of the combination of clinic dose arsenic and BSO on K562/ADM cell is obvious increased.The combination of clinic dose arsenic and BSO obviously inhibit MRP1 expression and MRP1 mRNA expression in K562/ADM cell.

Objective To observe three-dimensional structure and biological features of rat acellular spinal cord scaffold prepared by sonic oscillation and chemical extraction in order to offer an ideal scaffold for spinal cord tissue engineering research.Methods Rat spinal cord underwent acellular treatment with sonic oscillation and chemical extraction (Triton X-100 at volume fracture of 2% and sodium deoxycholate at volume fracture of 2%) (acellular spinal cord group).In contrast with spinal cord tissue of normal rats (control group),general morphology,histology and ultramicro three-dimensional structure of acellular spinal cord scaffold were observed and aperture size,factor of porosity,water ratio,enzymolysis ratio and stability in water solution of the scaffold were also detected.Results Acellular spinal cord group showed effective removal of original cell components with factor of porosity for (94.57 ±3.45) % and water content for (88.62 ± 1.0) %,and satisfactory three-dimensional structure with average aperture of 46 μm.Scaffold showed gradual degradation in enzymolysis solution and enzymolysis rate reached (69.03 ± 2.19)% at 20 hours.Besides,scaffold showed stepwise disintegration in double distilled water and hydrolysis rate was (62.55 ± 1.70) % at 8 days.While,normal spinal cord showed close structure,generous neurons and myelin sheath with factor of porosity for (0.04 ± 0.02) % and water content for (62.4 ± 1.5) %,and unobvious pore structure under scanning electron microscope.Normal spinal cord were degraded gradually in enzymolysis solution and enzymolysis rate was (37.62 ± 0.9)% at 20hours.In the meantime,normal spinal cord were disintegrated gradually in double distilled water and hydrolysis rate was (40.97 ± 0.81) % at 8 days.Conclusions Acellular spinal cord scaffold prepared by sonic oscillation plus chemical extraction achieves complete removal of cell components,intact extracellular matrix,and satisfactory results in three-dimensional network structures,factor of porosity and water content.Also,the scaffold meets theoretical demands of tissue-engineered spinal cord scaffold and is an ideal alterative for tissue-engineered spinal cord scaffold.

Objective: This study explores the miR-150 expression and its clinical significance in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Methods: The miR-150 and c-Myc expression was measured in 29 primary MCL tissue samples and 7 normal donors through quantita-tive real-time polymerase chain reaction. MiR-150 expression was detected in Mino and HBL-2 cells after c-Myc was knocked down by small interfering RNAs. MiR-150 was analyzed in tet-treated P493-6 cells with Myc turned off. The number of tumor colonies in the BL-2 cells transfected with pre-miR-150 was determined through colony formation assay, and c-Myb was detected through Western blot. Results: Compared with the normal donors, miR-150 expression was significantly downregulated and c-Myc was considerably overexpressed in MCL. Moreover, MCLs with high Myc expression had a significantly low miR-29 expression. MiR-150 was upregu-lated in the Mino and HBL-2 cells with c-Myc knockdown. MiR-150 was evidently upregulated in P493-6 cells after c-Myc was turned off. MiR-150 overexpression suppressed colony formation and c-Myb expression of HBL-2. Conclusion: MiR-150 is downregulated in MCL, which may be related to c-Myc overexpression. The recovery of miR-150 suppresses MCL cell survival. These results indicate that miR-150 may be a potential therapeutic target of MCL.

In recent years, lower and lower class attendance has plagued the quality of uni-versity teaching. To solve this problem, this study conducted a questionnaire survey in accordance with the concepts of the Education Reform microscopic systems engineering and the method of SIMPP. The results showed that factors affecting student classroom attendance included two aspects: the sub-jective and objective factors. Indicators related to the subjective factors were: the personal attitude when faced with failure exams, the personal learning interest and personal grasp of the main source of knowledge. Indicators related to the objective factors were: school and teachers. Also, this study gave some suggestions on how to improve students' classroom attendance to provide data basis and refer-ence for further study on class attendance.

College students' self cognition of the learning effectiveness influences their learning behavior greatly. Focusing on college students' self cognition of their learning effectiveness, and then standardizing their learning behavior is one of the important work of educators in colleges. Therefore this paper has designed the questionnaire of the influencing factors of learning effectiveness self cog-nition, used SIMPP analysis method to analyze it, and set up the relation model. The analysis shows that college students' self cognition of learning effectiveness is influenced not only by students' dili-gence level and the recognition degree of specialized subject, but also by the factors such as the attitude when you get the bad results. The result provides data basis and scientific basis for future practice and relevant research for educators in colleges.

Magnetoacoustic tomography (MAT) has some advantages such as high sensitivity and high spatial resolution. The generating mechanism of acoustic source is the research foundation of forward and inverse problems. A coustic signals were respectively simulated by using monopole and dipole radiation theory in the experimental conditions, then the differences between their acoustic pressures were discussed, and furthermore the contrast and validation were conducted by physical experiments in this study. The physical experimental results showed that acoustic waveform of MAT had a certain directivity and therefore they indicated that dipole model showed higher approximation to the real facts than monopole model. It can be well concluded that this research has cardinal significance for the accurate algorithm of MAT.
