This study aims to establish a method to determine the serum acetaminophen concentration based on diazo reaction, and apply it in the gastric emptying evaluation. Theoretically, acetaminophen could take hydrolysis reaction in hydrochloric acid solution to produce p-aminophenol, which could then take diazo reaction resulting in a product with special absorption peak at 312 nm. Then the serum acetaminophen concentration and recovery rate were calculated according to the standard curve drawn with absorbance at 312 nm. ICR mice were given a dose of acetaminophen (500 mg x kg(-1)) by gavage and the serum acetaminophen was dynamically measured through the diazo reaction. Besides, ICR mice were subcutaneously injected with the long-acting GLP-1 analog GW002 before the gavage of acetaminophen, and serum acetaminophen concentration was measured as above to study how GW002 could influence the gastric emptying. The data showed acetaminophen ranging from 0 to 160 μg x mL(-1) could take diazo reaction with excellent linear relationship, and the regression equation was y = 0.0181 x +0.0104, R2 = 0.9997. The serum acetaminophen was also measured with good linear relationship (y = 0.0045 x + 0.0462, R = 0.9982) and the recovery rate was 97.4%-116.7%. The serum concentration of acetaminophen reached peak at about 0.5 h after gavage, and then gradually decreased. GW002 could significantly lower the serum acetaminophen concentration and make the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) decrease by 28.4%. In conclusion, a method for the determination of serum acetaminophen based on the diazo reaction was established with good accuracy and could be used in the evaluation of gastric emptying.

Objective To evaluate the values of bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling ( BIPSS),high dosage dexamethasone suppression test (HDDST) and pituitary image in the differential diagnosis of ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Methods Totally 87 patients with confirmed pathological diagnosis were recruited in the study.All received the procedure of BLPSS,HDDST,and pituitary MRI with dynamic enhancement.The diagnostic performances of three differential diagnosis methods in ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome were evaluated.Results Seventy-eight patients were diagnosed as cases of pituitary ACTH adenoma,and the remaining 9 were confirmed cases of ectopic ACTH syndrome due to the thymic carcinoid.The sensitivity and specificity of HDDST,pituitary MRI,and BIPSS for the diagnosis of ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome were 82.1％ and 100％,79.5％ and 44.4％,92.3％ and 100％,respectively.In Cushing's disease,the diagnostic accuracy was 83.9％ with HDDST,77.0％with pituitary MRI,and93.1％ with BIPSS.In those patients with Cushing's disease,the coincidence of lateralization was 83.9％ with BIPSS and 64.5％ with MRII.Conclusion BIPSS was better than the other two methods in differential diagnosis of ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome.Compared with the pituitary MRI,the concordant rate of BIPSS in lateralization of the tumor is higher,and it is more reliable.

OBJECTIVETo explore the sensitivity of tumor cell lines with acquired resistance to gefitinib to several chemotherapeutic drugs and provide preclinical basis of available chemotherapy regimens after failure of molecular targeted therapy.

METHODSHuman lung adenocarcinoma cell lines PC9 and PC9/G with acquired resistance to gefitinib were cultured in vitro. The sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs and inhibition rate of cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. Effects of drugs on apoptosis and expression of P-170 were determined by flow cytometry. Difference of gene expression profile between PC9 and PC9/G cells was analyzed by DNA microarray. Western blot was used to test the expression of Akt, phospho-Akt and integrin beta1.

RESULTSThe resistance index of PC9/G cells to cisplatin was about 5.4-fold compared with that of PC9 cells. LY294002 may significantly elevate the sensitivity of PC9/G cells to cisplatin (P < 0.05). PC9/G cells were more sensitive to docetaxel than PC9 cells. No significant difference of sensitivity to pemetrexed was found between these two cell lines. Expression level of P-170 in PC9/G cells was lower than that in PC9 cells. In PC9/G cells, the expression of integrin beta1 and DNA healing gene was high and expression of gene during mitosis was low. The level of expression of Akt, phospho-Akt and integrin beta1 in PC9/G cells was higher than that in PC9 cells.

CONCLUSIONIn PC9/G cells, a cell line with acquired resistance to gefitinib, over-expression of PI3K, integrin and DNA restoration gene and continuous activation of PI3K is found to be correlated with resistance to cisplatin. Docetaxel or pemetrexed is a more reasonable choice than cisplatin for treatment of NSCLC patients who failed to respond to EGFR-TKI.

AIMTo observe the expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta in human tongue squamous cancer line Tca8113 cell, and to study the influence of beta-estradiol (beta-E2) on the proliferation and cell cycle of cultured Tca8113 cell.

METHODSImmunocytochemistry and RT-PCR methods were used to observe the expression of estrogen receptors (ER) in human tongue squamous carcinoma line Tca8113 cell. 3H-TdR incorporation and cell cycle analysis were used to examine the change of proliferation and DNA synthesis of Tca8113 cell.

RESULTSER-alpha and ER-beta mRNA were expressed in human tongue squamous cancer cell, and the expression of ER-beta was weaker than that of ER-alpha. beta-Estradiol at 10(-8) mol/L - 10(-6) mol/L could increase the proliferation of human tongue squamous carcinoma cell in a dose dependent manner (P < 0.01). beta-E2 (10(-6) mol/L) could increase the proportion of cells in S phase and G2 phase from 23.5% up to 37.7%. The effect of estradiol on the proliferation of cultured human tongue squamous cancer line Tca8113 cell could be inhibited by Tamoxifen.

CONCLUSIONThere are ER-alpha and ER-beta expression in human tongue squamous cancer line Tca8113 cell, and beta-estradiol promotes the proliferation and cell cycle of cultured human Tca8113 cell.
