1.tRNA Nuclear-cytoplasmic Dynamics and Cell Fate
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(03):-
The robust nuclear-cytoplasmic transport is vital for eukaryotes'life cycle.Not only proteins and RNAs are transferred to their destination by this system, the important cellular activities such as mitosis are also regulated by the transport pathways via adjusting the local concentrations of some critical cargoes.tRNA is one of the most important biomacromolecules in the cell, synthesized in nucleus, and taking part in protein synthesis in cytoplasm.It is a long-held belief that tRNA functions only as a key player in protein synthesis, and tRNA nuclear-cytoplasmic transport is a unidirectional movement from nucleus to cytoplasm.However, the recent discoveries are overturning the traditional opinions.Nuclear-born tRNA can be exported out of nucleus, while cytoplasmic-residing tRNA can also be retrogradely transport into nucleus.The new concept tRNA nuclear-cytoplasmic dynamics was coined in 2008 to describe the tRNA communication between nucleus and cytoplasm, which was found able to regulate protein synthesis and cell cycle in S.cerevisiae.The latest results in this field are going to change the landscape of eukaryotic tRNA biology.

Sixty cases of the patients sick with simple obesity complicated with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into the magnetic acupuncture group and control group, to observe the improving situation in the indexes of obesity and blood lipid. In the moment the therapeutic effect in reducing body weight, magnetic acupuncture is obviously better in improving cholesterol (TC) in indexes of blood lipid than single acupuncture (P<0.05).

Objective To evaluate effect of propofol on the first spike latency-amplitude curve of rat inferior colliculus neurons and to find out mechanisms that propofol leds to the disappearance of auditory nerve electrophysiological .Methods 43 healthy specefic pathogen free(SPF) grade sprague dawley(SD) rats(weighing 200-250 g) were used to established wakeful animal models by ventilating with animal respirator after infusing vecuronium .A microelectrode was penetrated in the inferior colliculus (IC) ,and then research first spike latency-amplitude(FSL-A) using a Tucker-Davis Technologies System 3(TDT3) before and after intraper-itoneal injection of propofol 100 mg/kg of each 10 minutes interval .Results CFs ranging from 2 .5 to 44 kHz .An acoustic response of neurons showed offset response ,the remaining 42 neurons showed onset response .r2 of FSL-A curve equations are significant difference between administered propofol before and after 10 minutes(P<0 .05) ,all of them are larger than 0 .95(P<0 .05) .FSL-A curve after administration can shift the lower curve and coincident with the previous administration in the same rat .Conclusion Propofol affect auditory information transmission by convert localization of FSL-A curve of rat inferior colliculus neurons ,but does not change the meaning of the information encoded .

Circulating tumor cells(CTCs)are essential for establishing metastasis and recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). With the development of detection technique,results from recent studies suggest that CTC level could be a supplement for TNM staging system and a prediction marker of prognosis and therapeutic efficacy,and even could be applied for risk assessment of early NSCLC. Furthermore,as a non-invasiveliquid biopsy,detection of CTC can reflect the molecular biology and genetics characteristics of the primary tumor,and subsequently assist in selecting an optimal individualized treatment.

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare maligant tumor.The main clinical symptoms are primary hyperparathyroidism and all kinds of metabolism disorder and the damage of homologous tissues and organs.The consummate laboratory examination and the accurate imaging localization and the credible histopathologic feature are key points to diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma.Parathyroid carcinoma is unsensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy,and en bloc resection of the carcinoma is the preferred treatment approach.AntiPTH immunization as a new treatment of parathyroid carcinoma has been paid close attention.The prognosis of parathyroid carcinoma is mainly depended on whether the tumor was cut off completely and the control as well as the monitor of the symptomatic hypercalcemian after operation.This article reviews the latest researches and introduces the latest advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid carcinoma.

Objective To observe the effect of intravenous injection of different doses of propofol on the ceil apoptosis and NF-kB p65 in the acute lung injury(ALl)induced by LPS in rats.Method Sixty SD rats were randomly(random number)divided into five groups,namely,control(NS)group,Au model group and propofol intervention groups(P1,P2,P3 groups).The lung injury was evaluated by using microscopy with hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining and arterial blood gas,and Western blotting Was applied to evaluating the nuclear translocation of NF-KB P65 in lung tissues.The apoptosis rate of lung tissue Was determined by flow cytometric analysis.Results Lung injury in model group reached the pathologic criteria of acute lung injury,and it was attenuated apparently in propofol intervention groups(P1,P2,P3 groups)in dose-dependent manner.Western blotting results showed that the nuclear translocation of NF-KB P65 and the apoptosis rate increased significantly in ALI model group compared with control group(P<0.05),and decreased in propofol intervention groups compared with ALl model group(P<0.05).Conclusions Propofol Can attenuate acute lung injury induced by LPS in rats,and significantly inhibit the nuclear translocation of NF-KB P65 and the cell apoptosis in lung tissues.The effect of propofol attenuating acute lung injury induced by LPS in rats may be attributed to the inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-KB P65and ceil apoptosis in lung tissues.

Objective By analyzing domestic and foreign papers on plague research with bibliometrics and visualized methods, we explored the current situation research trends and cutting-edge dynamics in order to provide information sup-port for plague research as well as strategies for countering bioterrorism.Methods Based on data sources from SCI and CNKI databases, bibliometrics and visualized methods were adopted,including Pajek,VOSviewer, Bibexcel and Citespace, so as to show the major cutting-edge areas of plague research.Results Comprehensive research analysis showed that the USA is leading in plague research, with some strong related institutions.There is still a gap between China and international community for research.Academy of Military Medical Sciences and other institutions are our main plague research efforts. Conclusion We should strengthen plague research, improve our overall level of plague research to provide the necessary support for effective response to natural epidemics and potential bioterrorism incidents.
10.CCL21/CCR7 axis and mechanisms of tumor invasion and metastasis
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(2):96-99
Secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (CCL21) is a double-edged sword, which exerts antitumor, anti-infection immune response by binding to the receptor CCR7 on the surface of the multiple immune cells. However, a variety of tumor cells also express the receptor CCR7, the combination of CCL21 with CCR7promotes the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, leading to the facilitation of tumor development. Therefore,exploring the mechanism(s) of tumor invasion and metastasis might be helpful for use of CCL21 as tumor gene therapy through blocking of CCL21's promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis.
