Aim To investigate the effect of small in-terfering RNA(siRNA) targeting DNMT1 gene on cell proliferation, apoptosis and histone modulation in acute lymphoid leukemia cell line, Molt-4. Methods The small interfering RNA targeting DNMT1 gene was transfected into Molt-4 cells by LipofectamineTM 2000. The DNMT1 mRNA and protein level were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Cell proliferation was de-termined by MTT. Cell apoptosis was measured by Flow Cytometry. The expression of Bcl-2, procaspase-3, P15, histone methylation and histone acetylation was detected by Western blot. Results DNMT1 was suppressed by siRNA targeting DNMT1 in a concentra-tion-dependent manner. DNMT1 siRNA suppressed cells proliferation and induced apoptosis in Molt-4 cells. Apoptotic rate was (4. 27 ± 1. 42)% , (15. 25 ± 1. 54)% , (35. 63 ± 2. 54)% , (66. 27 ± 3. 02)%after transfecting with DNMT1 siRNA at 0, 30, 60, 120 nmol·L - 1 for 24 hours, P < 0. 05. The expres-sion of Bcl-2, procaspase-3 was suppressed and P15 was promoted after transfecting of DNMT1 siRNA. DN-MT1 siRNA downregulated histone methylated H3K9 and upregulated histone methylated H3K4. The altera-tion of histone acetylation of H3 was not seen. Conclu-sion DNMT1 siRNA suppresses DNMT1 efficiently in Molt-4 cells. The depletion of DNMT1 downregulates histone methylation of H3K9, and upregulates histone methylation of H3K4. It inhibits cell growth and in-duces cell apoptosis in Molt-4 cell line.

Objective:To investigate the value of atropine administration before tracheal intubation under general anesthesia in the elderly patients undergoing endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration(EBUS-TBNA)biopsy.Methods:This was a case-control study.A total of 87 elderly hospitalized patients receiving chest enhanced CT test suggesting the risk of lung cancer with enlargement of mediastinal lymph nodes in 7 regions were scheduled to undergo endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration(EBUS-TBNA)biopsy under general anesthesia.The patients were randomly divided into two groups by flipping a coin: the atropine group(n=40)and the control group(n=47). The indicators for evaluating the application values of atropine included preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), heart rate, oropharyngeal and airway secretion volume, oxygen saturation, operation time, positive diagnosis rate and postoperative adverse reactions.Results:SBP and DBP were lower in the atropine group than in the control group before endotracheal intubation(131.7±15.3 mmHg vs.140.7±13.7 mmHg, 79.1±7.6 mmHg vs.85.6±7.4 mmHg, t=2.885 and 4.061, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in SBP and DBP 10 min after endoscopic operation and 10 min after tracheal extubation between the atropine group versus the control group(SBP: 109.1±11.2 mmHg vs.105.0±12.2 mmHg, 136.9±23.0 mmHg vs.129.9±11.2 mmHg, DBP: 66.9±7.5 mmHg vs.68.0±8.3 mmHg, 77.6±10.9 mmHg vs.78.5±6.4 mmHg, t=-1.617, 0.687, -1.751 and 0.448, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in HR between the two groups before endotracheal intubation( t=1.416, P>0.05), while HR was higher in the atropine group than in the control group 10 min after endoscopic operation and 10 min after tracheal extubation( t=-3.323 and -2.181, P<0.01 and P<0.05). The change rates of SBP and DBP were lower in the atropine group than in the control group 10 min after endoscopic operation and 10 min after tracheal extubation( t=7.947, -6.962, -3.187 and -3.232, P<0.01). The change rate of HR was lower in the atropine group 10 min after endoscopic operation and was higher 10 min after tracheal extubation than in the control group( t=-6.467 and -4.131, P<0.01). There were significant differences in the volume of oropharyngeal and airway secretions and fingertip oxygen saturation between the two groups before endotracheal intubation and 10 min after tracheal extubation( t=-2.334, 2.759, -3.314 and -2.767, P<0.01). The endoscopic operation time was less in the atropine group than in the control group with no statistically significant difference[(25.9±5.7)min vs.(26.4±4.7)min, t=0.391, P>0.05]. There was no significant difference in postoperative adverse reactions between the atropine group versus the control group(34 patients or 85.0% vs.43 patients or 91.5%, χ2=1.247, P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of atropine before tracheal intubation under general anesthesia is beneficial to stabilizing the intraoperative blood pressure and heart rate, and can reduce the production of postoperative oropharyngeal and airway secretions in elderly patients undergoing endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration biopsy.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression of N-cadherin and β-catenin mRNA in human brainstem and supratentorial gliomas. MethodsN-cadherin and β-catenin mRNA expression in 18 cases of brainstem gliomas and 18 cases of supratentorial gliomas tissues were detected with PT-PCR. Resultsβ-catenin mRNA expression was more in human brainstem gliomas than in supratentorial gliomas (t=2.255,P<0.05), but was not significantly different of N-cadherin mRNA (P>0.05). The expression of N-cadherin mRNA in human brainstem gliomas of grades Ⅰ~Ⅱ were less than those in human gliomas of grades Ⅲ~Ⅳ (t=2.711,P<0.05), but was not of β-catenin mRNA (P>0.05). N-cadherin mRNA expression was positively correlated with the β-catenin mRNA expression in either brainstem gliomas or supratentorial gliomas (r=0.480,r=0.809 respectively, P<0.05). ConclusionThe over expressions of N-cadherin and β-catenin may play an important role in the invasion and malignant progress of human brainstem gliomas.

OBJECTIVETo establish a new diagnostic method for Down's syndrome using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
METHODSDNA extracted from five healthy individuals and five Down's syndrome patients was amplified in six specific tetranucleotide repeat loci on chromosome 21 using PCR. An accurate diagnosis was made by analyzing allelic distribution at each locus.
RESULTSAll Down's syndrome patients were identified as having at least two loci with three alleles, while none of the healthy individuals had three alleles. In addition, when two alleles were identified for a particular locus in the Down's syndrome samples, it was more likely that the intensity ratio between the two alleles was close to 2:1.
CONCLUSIONThe molecular method can provide a fast, accurate, and economical alternation for the traditional cytogenetic diagnostic method for Down's syndrome.

Lung transplantation is the ultimate treatment for many kinds of end-stage lung diseases. However, the perioperative management of lung transplantation is complicated with high fatality of patients. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an effective method of extracorporeal respiration and circulation support. ECMO plays an important role in the perioperative support treatment of lung transplantation, which breaks the limitation of contraindications and promotes the development of lung transplantation. In this article, the indications, catheter placement strategies and application of ECMO in the perioperative period of lung transplantation were reviewed.
