Objective To investigate the effects of deguelin on the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in RPMI-8226 cells in vitro,as well as the regulation of steroid receptor coactivator-3(SRC-3)to explore the relationship between them.Methods The effect of deguelin on the growth of RPMI-8226 cells was studied by MTT assay.Apoptosis was detected through Hoechst 33258 staining and Annexin-V FITC/PI double-labeled cytometry.RT-PCR Technology was applied to assessment of the mRNA expression of SRC-3,whereas,SRC-3 protein expression and localization were determined by using immunohistochemistry method.Results Deguelin presented striking proliferation inhibition potency on RPMI-8226 cells in vitro and apoptosis induction activity in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The IC50 value for 24 h was(54.55?0.40)nmol/L,(17.04?0.73)% RPMI-8226 cells went apoptotic when treated with 25 nmol/L deguelin for 24 h,with the dose of deguelin increasing to 100 nmol/L,(63.57?1.36)% cells were apoptotic.Over-expression of SRC-3 was found in RPMI-8226 cells,whereas the mRNA and protein expression levels of SRC-3 were significantly downregulated in RPMI-8226 cells induced by deguelin in a dose-dependent manner.The disposition of SRC-3 was situated mainly at the nuclear,occasionally in the cytoplasm.Conclusion Deguelin exhibited potent proliferation inhibition to the human myeloma cell line RPMI-8226 cells,furthermore,deguelin might induce RPMI-8226 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner,which might correspond to the regulation of the expression of SRC-3.

Objective: To study the safety and efifcacy of hematoma aspiration with manual compression for treating the patients of femoral pseudoaneurysm after cardiac catheterization under ultrasound guidance. Methods: A total of 27 patients suffering from post-catheterization iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysm were analyzed including 14 male and 13 female at the mean age of (53.5±11.4) years. The body, neck and blood supply area of pseudoaneurysm were located by ultrasonography; 18 gauge needle was punctured into the center of pseudoaneurysm to aspirate blood, meanwhile the neck and body of pseudoaneurysm were manually compressed to block blood supply for relevant artery under ultrasound guidance. Manual compression was conducted for 15 min followed by bandage compression; the patients were lie on the back and kept lower extremity straight for 12 hours. Ultrasonography was performed at 24 hours and 1 month after the operation in all patients respectively. Results: There were 24/27 (88.9%) patients having successful aspiration with manual compression at ifrst time; 2 (7.4%) having incomplete occlusion at ifrst time and the success was obtained by second time; 1 having incomplete occlusion due to coexisted femoral arteriovenous ifstula, while the body of pseudoaneurysm was obviously decreased. The overall success rate was 96.3% (26/27), no procedural complication occurred. Conclusion Ultrasonography guided hematoma aspiration with manual compression has been safe and effective for treating the patients of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysm.

Biotrickling filter often offers a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional air pollutant control technologies,but major problems with clogging of the filters due to a high biomass accumulation will provent it from the industried uses.In this paper,the effect of the high biomass accumulation in an air pollution treatment with a biotrickling filter is discussed.Two parameters with specific surface area with biofilm growth(?_ f ) and the bed porosity with biofilm(?_ f )are used to analyse its principle of accumulation.Finally,some control measures including chemical methods,physical machine-made methods and other control methods are overviewed.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics, risk factors and prevention measures of nosocomial infection in senile patients with hematologic disorders. Methods The clinical data of 581 senile patients with hematologic disorders from July 2005 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The nosoeomial infection rate was 30.5%(177/581). The 581cases developed nosocomial infection for 254 times [43.7% (254/581)]. Lower respiratory tract infection was the most frequent infection site, followed by intestinal infection and upper respiratory infection. The species were predominated by Gram-negative bacillus (67.1%) . The risk factors of nosocomial infection were non-remission of malignant diseases,chronic underlying diseases, long time hospitaliation, community infection, granulocytopenia, invasive manipulation and application of adrenocortical hormone and antibiotic. Conclusions The nosoeomial infection rate is high in senile patients with hematologic disorders and it can be decreased by taking prevention measures according to the risk factors.

Overexpression of human ether-脿-go-go (eag) related gene (hERG) has been found in a broad range of human leukemia cell lines and primary human leukemia. The block of hERG protein might be a potential therapeutic strategy for leukemia. Gambogic acid (GA) has recently exhibited marked anti-tumor potency on solid tumors of various derivations. Here, we investigated the anti-leukemia effects of GA and its relation to the regulation of hERG in K562 leukemia cells in vitro. K562 cells were treated with various concentrations of GA (0.125-8.0 micromol/L) for 0-72 h. MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibition effect of GA on the growth of K562 cells. Cell apoptosis was measured through both Annexin-V FITC/PI double-labeled cytometry and transmission electron microscopy. Cell cycle regulation was studied by a propidium iodide method. RT-PCR and Western blot were applied to detect the expression level of hERG in K562 cells. GA presented striking growth inhibition and apoptosis induction potency on K562 cells in vitro in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The IC(50) value of GA for 24 h was 2.637+/-0.208 micromol/L. Moreover, GA induced K562 cells arrested in G(0)/G(1) phase, accordingly, cells in S phase decreased gradually, and no obvious changes were found in G(2)/M phase cells. Under the transmission electron microscopy, apoptotic bodies containing nuclear fragments were found in GA-treated K562 cells. After treatment with GA of 2.0 micromol/L for 24 h, the percentage of apoptotic cells was increased from 4.09% to 18.47% (P<0.01). Overexpression of hERG channel was found in K562 cells, while GA could down-regulate it at both protein and mRNA levels (P<0.01). It was concluded that GA exhibited its anti-leukemia effects partially through down-regulating the expression level of hERG channel in K562 cells, suggesting that GA may be a potential agent against leukemia with a mechanism of blocking hERG channel.

In order to investigate the anti-leukemia effects of gambogic acid (GA) and its relation to the regulation of nucleoporin Nup88 in U937 cells in vitro, the inhibitory effect of GA on the growth of U937 cells was examined by using MTT assay. Apoptosis was detected by Annexin-V FITC/PI double-labeled cytometry. Cell cycle regulation was studied by propidium iodide method. Both flow cytometry (FCM) and RT-PCR were employed to assess the expression of Nup88, and the localization of Nup88 was determined by confocal microscopy. The results indicated that GA had strong inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis induction activity in U937 cells in vitro in a time-and dose-dependent manner. The 24-h IC(50) value was (1.019+/-0.134) mg/L. Moreover, GA induced arrest of U937 cells in G(0)/G(1) phase. Over-expression of Nup88 was found in U937 cells, whereas GA could significantly down-regulate both the protein and mRNA levels of Nup88. Nup88 was diffusely distributed between nucleus and cytoplasm and was located at the cytoplasmic side of nuclear rim, and occasionally in cytoplasm. It is suggested that GA exerts its anti-leukemia effects by regulating the expression and distribution of nucleoporin Nup88. It promises to be new agent for the treatment of acute leukemia.
