Aim To investigate the relationship be-tween phosphoprotein EBP50 and the proliferation of breast cancer in MCF-7 cells. Methods The quali-fied recombinant plasmid sh-EBP50-pGPU6/Neo was transfected into MCF-7 cells with EBP50 knocking down. The expression of EBP50, c-myc, p-ERK1/2, and ERK1/2 was detected by Western blot. The prolif-eration ability of cells was detected by sulforhodamine B assay. Results The EBP50 knocking down plasmid was constructed successfully. MCF-7 cells with EBP50 knocking down had been established successfully. Knocking down of EBP50 increased the proliferation of MCF-7 significantly, and partially augmented the ex-pression of c-myc and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 . However, knocking down of EBP50 did not impact the expression of ERK1/2 . Conclusion EBP50 suppres-ses the proliferation of breast cancer cell through inhib-iting the activity of ERK1/2 in MCF-7 cell line.

Objective To observe the effect of nursing intervention on voiding effect in patients after percutaneous renal biopsy. Methods 80 cases of patients after percutaneous renal biopsy were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 40 patients in each group. The control group only received general health education, while the observation group was given specialist care measures pre, during and post operation. The complication after operation was compared between the two groups. Results Postoperative complication of the observation group was lower than that of the control group. Conclusions The whole process nursing intervention can alleviate voiding effect, reduce postoperative complications, and is worthy of clinical application.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) refers to tne transition during which epithelial cells undergo the loss of apical-basal polarity, acquisition of migration capability and transformation into mesenchymal cells. EMT induces breast cancer in situ to developing into metastasis and associates with the drug resistence. The multiple elements including signal pathways, transcriptional factors and downstream genes orchestrate the transition. Among them, the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathway plays a key role in the regulation of EMT in breast cancer. And this paper reviews the development of TGF-β signaling pathway induced EMT in breast cancer.

AIM:To investigate the effects of amnion epithelial cell ( AEC) suspension liquid on the biological behavior of the rabbit's corneal epithelium, combined with the in vitro and in vivo experiments. · METHODS: The rabbit's corneal epithelium were cultured in the lower chamber of transwell, and AEC suspension liquid was dropwised in the upper chamber. There was only culture medium in the upper chamber of the control group. The proliferation of rabbit's corneal epithelium was observed with CCK-8 automated colorimetry and the expression of PCNA was detected by immunocytochemistry. We used the scratch wound assay to detect the migration of corneal epithelial cell ( CEC ) . The in vivo models were established by placing a 10mm diameter corneal trephine in the center of the cornea, within 1mol/L NaOH for 1min. We divided those into three groups: treatment group of AEC suspension liquid eye drop, AEC suspension liquid subconjunctival injection and the control group without any treatment. Using the slit- lamp biomicroscope and fluorescence staining to observe the cornea per week. After 28d we took the eyeballs with the HE staining. The expression of VEGF was detected by immunohistochemistry. ·RESULTS: The activity of CEC with AEC treatment was much higher than the control group ( P< 0. 05 ). The expression of PCNA increased in AEC group (P<0. 05). And the migration of CEC in the AEC group was faster than the control one. In vivo, the inflammation of the corneal and the CNV of the AEC group were all significantly reduced compared with the control group (P<0. 05 ). There were less invasive cells and more ordered organization arrangement in ACE group observed by the HE staining. The expression of VEGF and mcp-1 in these two AEC treatment groups all significantly decreased compared with the control group (P<0. 05). ·CONCLUSION: AEC suspension liquid can promote the proliferation and migration of the rabbit's corneal epithelium. The potential of AEC suspension liquid as a therapy for acute corneal alkali burn.

Compared with living spray method, it focused on the investigation of different inoculation methods, various inoculation concentration and the influence of different seeding age on soft rot-resistance in Jinxianlian. The results showed that (1) Inoculated with dropping connection, the difference of disease index between A. roxburghii and A. formosanus was grate, so that the disease-resistance could be obviously distinguished. (2) When the inoculation concentration was 1.0 x 10(7) cfu x mL(-1), the difference of disease index was relatively obvious and the disease-resistance could be differentiated well. (3) At the moment of 4-month seeding inoculation, a certain difference of the disease index between A. roxburghii and A. formosanus was existed, so, relatively, it could accurately reflect the resistance difference between various species. With the inoculation of dropping connection, A. roxburghii and A. formosanus of 4-month seeding age was put in the bacteria suspension of inoculation concentration of 1.0 x 10(7) cfu x mL(-1). The identification was taken up after 5 days in the incubator under the condition of 14 h daylight and 28 degrees C. The identification result was conformed with that of the living spray method. To investigate the identification method of in vitro evaluation of soft rot-resistance of Jinxianlian so as to provide the foundation for germplasm utilization and excellent cultivars breeding.

Objective To isolate Fusarium species from Kashin-Beck disease(KBD)area and biosynthesize cnlde T-2 toxin.Methods T-2 toxin.producing Fusarium was isolated from corns produced in KBD area and purifted.The purifted funsi were identified according to the traits of colony,appearance of thallus and characters of conidium and then weIe cultivated in sterile Corn culture media.After extraction with organic solvent and purification by silica gel chromatography column,the quality and quantity of the toxin in the extracts were estimated by thin,Layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography.Results The toxin-producing strain was Fusarium tricinctum. The com cuIture media inoculated with this strain produced about 250 mg of crude T-2 toxin per kg. Conclusions This experiment has indirectly further confirmed pollution of T-2 toxin-producing Fmarium existed in
