Background and purpose:Hypoxic cells in tumors are of chemoresistant and anti-apoptoic.Our study was focused on the effects of hypoxia on expression of P-glycoprotein(P-gp) and cell apoptosis in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line(wtP53),in order to explore the probable mechanism of hypoxia in apoptic tumor cells.Methods:A549 cell line(human lung adenocarcinoma) was cultured under hypoxic atmosphere(2% O_2) for 24 h,the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1?、P-gp and P53 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry,after cells under hypoxic atmosphere were exposed to Adriamycin for 24 h,the cell survival rate was detected by MTT,and apoptosis of by flow cytometer.Results:① The expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1?、P-gp and P53 protein in hypoxic cells were higher than the expression in anoxia ,and correlation between the expression of HIF-1? and P-gp or P53 protein was observed(P

Gentamicin production at home and abroad was fermentation cycle long,production rate low,production costs high and short of competitiveness.Added a little quantity of lysine,glycine,tyrosine,methionine into the medium of gentamicin producing Micromonospora purpurea during inoculation could improve the metabolic capability of microbe,shorten fermentation cycle and increase production rate of gentamicin.The new method was successfully developed in shaking flask test and applied to 5L glass fermentor for one month.Average data of one month showed that the fermentation time per cycle was shortened about 40% and the yield of gentamicin per fermentor increased about 14% in comparison with the conventional technique.The production rate of gentamicin was increased 30% ~95%(according to the capability of strain).The quality of the end product gentamicin conformed to CP2000,BP2000 and USP26 pharmacopoeia.Therefore,the new method may reduce production costs of gentamicin remarkably,it shows strong competitiveness in the marketplace.

Background and purpose:HIF-1?、HER-2 and survivin are all considered as important prognostic factors of breast cancer,but the relationships among them are poorly understood.We investigated the expression of HIF-1?、HER-2 and survivin in Breast Carcinoma,and explored the relationship among the three prognostic factors.Methods:The expressions of HIF-1?、HER-2 and survivin were detected by immunohistochemistry in 51 human Breast Carcinoma samples.Results:① 28(54.88%),11(21.69%) and 35(68.62%) were positive for HIF-1?、HER-2 and survivin,respectively.② A significant difference was found in terms of the overexpression of HER-2 between the samples with HIF-1? either positive or negatiwe(P0.05).Conclusions:The positive expression of HIF-1? was strongly correlated with the overexpression of HER-2,but not survivin in breast carcinoma.

Oncology is extensive in contents,covering a wide range of organs,systems and clinical specialties.Here,we discuss the feasibility and necessity of flipping the classroom teaching through the introduction of Oncology and through the implementation of flip classroom teaching for oncology graduate students,this paper analyzes the evaluation of the classroom teaching by the teachers and students,and compares the assessment results of students under different teaching methods.The results show that the flipped class can promote students' initiative learning,promote students' classroom participation,and help students to internalize and consolidate their knowledge of oncology in the theoretical teaching of graduate oncology.

Objective To explore epidemic characteristics and trend of livestock brucellosis in Zibo,and to provide a scientific basis for development of prevention strategies to brucellosis.Methods Epidemiology statistical analysis and forecast was made based on related information such as the active immunization data of human brucellosis,the infection data between people and livestock,and the active immunization data among livestock over the years since 1954.Results From 1954 to 2011,37 years had brucellosis cases reported in Zibo City,with accumulative reports of 380 cases,and the average incidence rate was 0.2512/100 000,distributed in 118 villages 56 counties 3 towns 5 districts of the whole city.From 1954 to 1988,only 14 years had brucellosis cases reported,with accumulative reports of 94 cases,and the average incidence rate was 0.1573/100 000.From 1989 to 2011,each year had brucellosis cases reported,with accumulative reports of 283 cases,and the average incidence rate was 0.3158/100 000,of which the highest incidence was in 2011 (45 cases).From 1958 to 2011,there were a total of 140 154 livestock went through serology monitoring,1162 positives,and the positive rate was 0.83％,while the total immunization number of sheep was 884 900,of which 28 years did not carry out immunization work.Conclusions The incidence rate has decreased year by year since the seventies of last century.But the epidemic is on the rise since 1989,while new epidemic areas are emerging and the history affected areas are still serious,therefore the brucellosis prevention and control situation is still grim.

The recombination clones contained CFP, LTB-ST foreign gene were screening by PCR using individual bacterial colonies as template, the aimed band was amplified from positive clones, the result was as well as plasmid PCR. The selecting of agrobacterium transformed with recombination plasmid could also use this method of PCR screening of individual bacterial colonies. The result of individual bacterial colonies PCR was as well as that of PCR using bacterial solution as template. It showed that the method individual bacterial colonies PCR was an efficient, easy one that characterized recombination clones.

Objective To detect the effect of leptin on proliferation and c.Myc mRNA expression of human colon carcinoma HT-29 cell line and investigate the role of Leptin in the development of the HT-29 cell line.Methods Human colon carcinoma HT-29 cell line was cultured in vitro.After treatment with various concentration of Leptin for 72h.MTr was used to detect the proliferative and inhibitive status.And c-myc mRNA-expression Was detected by RT-PCR.Results After treatment with various concentration of Leptin.The cell pmlifemtion and c-myc mRNA expression Wag obviously promoted,compared with the control group.The effect wag in a time-dose-dependent manner within a certain range.Conclusion Leptin can improve cell proliferation and c-myc gene expression level in HT-29 cell line.Promoting the c-myc gene expression level may be one of the reasons that Leptin improves the proliferation of the human colon carcinoma HT-29 cell line.

Objective To exPlore the effect of mammalian target of raPamycin ( mTOR ) inhibitor eVerolimus on radiosensitiVity of human non_small cell lung cancer cell line in vitro by using eVerolimus to inhibit mTOR signaling Pathway of A549. Methods Human non_small cell lung cancer cell line A549 was subjected to radiation alone or in combination with eVerolimus treatment. The 50%inhibition concentration ( IC50 ) of eVerolimus in A549 cells was detected by methylthiazol tetrazolium ( MTT) assay in vitro. EVerolimus at the 20%inhibition concentration ( IC20 ) was used to Pretreat A549 cells for 24 h. Cells were then irradiated by X_ray with 2,4,6,8 Gy. The cell surViVal fraction was comPuted by clone formation. Cell surViVal curVe was fitted by multitarget one_hit model, and mean lethal dose ( D0 ), dose quasithreshold ( Dq ), surViVal fraction at 2 Gy ( SF2 ), and sensitization enhancement ratio (SER) were calculated. The exPression ofγ_H2AX was determined by Western blotting and then the relatiVe gray Values were analyzed. Results EVerolimus significantly imProVed the sensitiVity of A549 cells to radiation. The D0 , Dq and SF2 of eVerolimus+irradiation grouP were significantly lower than those of irradiation grouP. The SER was 1. 36. The residual amount of γ_H2AX Protein in the eVerolimus + irradiation grouP was significantly higher than that of the irradiation grouP. Conclusion EVerolimus inhibiting mTOR signaling Pathway can increase the radiosensitiVity of A549 cells.

In order to further improve the curative effect of the herb-participated moxibustion on umbilicus, we collected a wide range of literature on herb-participated moxibustion on umbilicus and then systematically arranged them to analyze and summarize the technology and operating methods of herb-participated moxibustion on umbilicus. We also briefly discussed issues on application of medicine, locust tree skin and ginger, the method of kneading dough for medical uses, and the appropriate size of moxa cone and its using frequency in order to form clear concepts and standardized operations to provide theories and operational basis for the clinical application of modern herb-participated moxibustion on umbilicus.
