The present study shows that mushroom juice exhibits a significanteffect on growth of L. acidophilus in reconstituted skim milk. When 5% - 10% mushroom juice was added in skim milk, they shorten generation time and the rate of lactic acid production was accelerated. After 10h incubation at 37℃ cell counts of L. acidophilus in test groups were much more than in control group, were up to 108/mL.

· AIM: To observe the effects of PTEN and the tumor suppressor gene in proliferative LECs of the rabbit.·METHODS:Forty-two white rabbits were randomly divided into test group (36 rabbits) and control group (6rabbits). The transparent lenses of treated rabbits were operated with extra capsular cortex extraction, and the controls were kept untouched. The rabbits were sacririced at 1d, 3d, 1wk, 2wK, 1mo and 2mo after surgery.Immunohistochemistry was applied to detect proliferative cellular nuclei antigen (PCNA) as well as hybridization in situ and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) were applied to detect phosphatase as well as tensin homology deleted on chromosome 10(PTEN) mRNA in lens equartor.·RESULTS:PCNA expression increased significantly to a high level at 1wk, began to reduce 2wk later, and recovered to the normal level 1 or 2mo after the surgery.PTEN mRNA expressed positively in normal rabbit LECs.The relative PTEN mRNA contents reduced greatly at 1dafter operation and remained low level at 3d. It began to increase slightly at 1wk, kept rising at 2wk and regained the normal expression after 1 or 2mo. There was inverse correlation between the PTEN mRNA and PCNA expression.·CONCLUSION: PTEN mRNA expresses positively in normal rabbit LECs plasma. PTEN participates in LECs proliferation and correlates with lens proliferative conditions.

Objective To analyze the prognostic factors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy.Methods 135 preliminary diagnosed patients were selected and treated with radiotherapy to a total dose of 68～80 Gy in 7～8 weeks. In order to analyze the factors affecting prognosis of NPC,SPSS analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to identify the prognostic factors.Results The overall 10-year survival rate was 48 9%; Univariate analysis suggested that 8 out of 13 items were significant factors for prognosis (P

In order to determine the suitable harvest time of Dendrobium officinale from different regions in Yunnan province, the drying rate, mannose and glucose peak area ratio, extract, contents of polysaccharide and mannose of D. officinale samples collected from six producing areas in Ynnnan province were determined. The results indicate that drying rate and the contents of polysaccharide and mannose arrived the peak from January to April, extract reached a higher content from September to December, and mannose and glucose peak area ratio from October to February of the coming met the requirment of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Hence, the suitable harvesting time of D. officinale in Yunnan province is from December to February of the coming year,according to the experimental results and the request of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

Objective:To explore the effects of LYN on the biological behaviors of gastric cancer cells, such as migration and invasion, and analyze the regulatory mechanism of Wnt/ β-catenin signaling. Methods:Gastric and paracancerous tissue samples from gastric cancer patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University from Oct. 2017 to May 2018 were selected to detect the expression level of LYN in clinically collected gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue samples by qRT-PCR.Gastric cancer AGS cells were used as experimental subjects, and shRNA-LYN was transfected into gastric cancer AGS cells using Lipofectamine 2000 as experimental group (Sh-LYN group), and untransfected cells as control group (NC group). LYN mRNA expression in AGS cells before and after transfection was detected by qRT-PCR.Transwell detected cell migration and invasion. Cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL.Western Blot analysis was performed to detect proteins related to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and to study its regulatory mechanism.Measurement data were expressed as ( Mean± SD), and independent sample t test was used for comparison between the two groups. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:LYN mRNA expression was significantly up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues ( t=11.04, P<0.001).Sh-LYN transfected gastric cancer cells could make LYN protein expression lower than that of the normal control group( F=961.26, P=0.016).After transfection, migration and invasion of cells in the sh-LYN group were inhibited, and the apoptosis rate of cells in the sh-LYN group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group ( t=3.437, 4.450, P=0.011, 0.026) .Western Blot results: sh-LYN reduced the expression of Wnt3 and β-catenin significantly when compared with the normal control group.The detection of downstream proteins showed that after LYN knockdown, the expression of EMT epithelial labeled E-cadherin was increased, and EMT mesenchymal labeled N-cardherin and vimentin were down-regulated. The other related proteins snail 1 and snail 2 were also down-regulated. Conclusion:LYN knockdown inhibits migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells and induces apoptosis in gastric cancer cells, a process associated with the Wnt/ β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective To establish a method of cultivation of dendritic cells (DC) from mouse bone marrow in vitro and identify their phenotype and function. Methods Under aseptic condition, bone marrow cells were extracted from the tibia and femur bones of BALB/c mice. Bone marrow cells were cultured with recombinant mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor ( rmGM-CSF) in vitro. The expansion and morphological changes of DC were observed with light inverted microscope. Phenotype was identified with flow cytometry and biological function was studied with antigen phagocytosis test. Results A large number of immature and mature DC with typical dendritic morphological characteristics could be generated from murine bone marrow. Immature DC, which had high expression in CD11c and low expression in CD40, MHC-II and CD86, could phagocytize antigen. Mature DC, which could be induced from immature DC by lipopolysaccharides, had high expression in CD11c, CD40, CD86 and MHC-II molecules. Conclusion Immature and mature DC can be generated from mouse bone marrow cells through cytokine induction in vitro and be used for further study associated with DC.
