Objective To evaluate the relationship between spectinomycin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and mutations in the rpsE gene.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from 4 clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with different levels of spectinomycin resistance.Then,PCR was performed to amplify the entire rpsE gene and the spectinomycin resistance-determining region (SRDR) in the 16S rRNA gene followed by direct sequencing.Two spectinomycin-sensitive Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains were transformed with the genomic DNA containing the mutant rpsE gene.Subsequently,the susceptibility of the transformants to spectinomycin was determined,and PCR was performed to amplify the rpsE and 16S rRNA genes in the transformants followed by sequencing.Results All the 4 spectinomycin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains harbored an A70C transversion in the rpsE gene,but no abnormality in the SRDR of the 16S rRNA gene.No mutations were detected in the spectinomycin-sensitive Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains.The A70C transversion in the rpsE gene was also detected in the two Neisseria gonorrhoeae transformants with spectinomycin resistance.Conclusion The A70C point mutation within the rpsE gene is associated with spectinomycin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

This study aimed at evaluating the quality of the precise powder decoction pieces (PPDP) of L.japonicae Flos (LJF) compared with the traditional commercial slices with chemical fingerprint methods and DNA molecular identification technology.Different specifications of PPDP were prepared,their dry extract contents were in contrast with that of commercial slices.The three batches of commercial slices were collected,and the content uniformity,fingerprint and similarity evaluation before and after the mixing and pulverization were studied by HPLC-DAD and DNA sequence alignment.As a result,the paste rate of PPDP was slightly higher than that of the traditional commercial slices.The dissolution of chlorogenic acid of PPDP was higher than that of the traditional commercial slices.RSD of inter-assay dissolutions of chlorogenic acid of commercial slices was 11.93％,which was reduced to 8.29％ after mixing and preparing into PPDP.The fingerprint showed that the slimilarity of the fringerprint of the mixed and powdered LJF was elevated with 7 common peaks.All the common peaks were increased at different levels.In conclusion,compared with traditional commercial slices of LJF,PPDP apparently improved the dissolution rate and the quality uniformity,indicating that the boiled powder of CRP obviously presented vantages in clinic.

OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical experience of endoscopic thyroidectomy via suprasternal approach. METHODS Endoscopic thyroidectomy via suprasternal approach was performed in 35 patients with ultrasonic scalpel. RESULTS Operations were successfully performed in 35 patients. The mean operation times were 130 (105～190) minutes in 24 cases with subtotal lobectomy and 4 case with total lobectomy, 60 (50~70) minutes in 2 cases with isthmectomy, 228 (185～270) minutes in 2 case with bilateral subtotal lobectomy, 163 (140～215) minutes in 3 case with subtotal lobectomy and the contralateral ademona resection. The bleeding during operation was 5 to 40ml and the average hospital stay time was 4 (3～5) days. CONCLUSION Endoscopic thyroidectomy via suprasternal approach is a safe way with good cosmetic value.

Objective:To investigate the expression and its possible role of Oct4B1 subtype of Embryonic stem cell transcription factor Oct4 in colorectal cancer stem cells. Methods: 3D microspheres were cultured by suspension culture to human colorectal cancer cell line SW480 cells. The 3D microspheres and SW480 cells were used as the research objects. Whether 3D microspheres were enriched cancer stem cells,we used the methods of cell differentiation experiments,soft agar cloning experiments,and the expression levels of cancer stem cells markers CD133,CD44 detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of Oct4B1 mRNA were detected by RT-qPCR. Results:3D microspheres could differentiate into normal cancer cells. Compared with the parental SW480 cells,in vitro colony formation was significantly enhanced(P<0. 01),the percentage of positive cells of CD133 and CD44 were significantly increased ( P < 0. 01 ), the expression levels of Oct4B1 mRNA were obviously higher ( P < 0. 01 ) in 3D microspheres. Conclusion: Oct4B1 subtype of Embryonic stem cell transcription factor Oct4 in 3D microspheres enriched human colorectal cancer stem cells,which may be involved in the regulation of colorectal cancer stem cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of TGF-β1/SMAD signaling pathway on K562 cells growth inhibition caused by HMBA. Methods After establishing the in vitro differentiation model with HMBA on K562 cells, the MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation of K562 cells, the cell cycle profile was detected by flow cytometry, and the mRNA expression of TGF-β1, SMAD3, SMAD4 and EVI1 was measured by RT-PCR assay. Results HMBA could inhibit the proliferation and promote the differentiation of K562 cells obviously, which was time and concentration-dependent, and the 72 h corresponding IC50, was about 2 mmol/L. Within 72 h, flow cytometry assay indicated that the ration of G0-G1 phase cells was up-regulated, and the results of RT-PCR showed that relative mRNA expression of TGF-β1, SMAD3 and SMAD4 at mRNA level was increased gradually while that of EVI1 was decreased gradually. Conclusion HMBA can inhibit K562 cells proliferation through TGF-β1/SMAD signaling pathway.

Objective To detect the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis of HL-60 cell induced by APS-1 and APS-2 isolated from Polyporus sp. M05 and to investigate its mechanism. Methods The proliferation inhibition was detected by living cells count method,and chosed proper concentration.Flow cytometry with propidium iodide staining was used to detect cell apoptosis. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of apoptosis related gene. Results APS-1 and APS-2 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells on a time and dose dependent manner. Apoptosis ratio increased to 47. 9% and 26. 8% after HL-60 cells were exposed to APS-1 and APS-2 respectively for 48 h,and the differences had statistical significance (P <0.01). After being induced by APS-1,mRNA of Bax,Fas,Caspase-3 was upregulated. And after being induced by APS-2,mRNA of Bax,Caspase-3 was upregulated,while Fas mRNA did not change. Conclusion APS-1 and APS-2 can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of HL-60 cells. Mechanism of HL-60 cell apoptosis induced by APS-1 is related to both mitochondrial pathway and Fas signaling pathway,while apoptosis induced by APS-2 is only related to mitochondrial pathway.

Objective: To observe the role of rmh-TNF in enhancing the anti-angiogenesis effect of cisplatin on Lewis lung carcinoma in the mice.Methods: Lewis lung carcinoma model was established in C57BL/6 mice.Sixty model mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group,rmh-TNF group(1500000 U/kg),cisplatin group(6.15 mg/kg), and rmh-TNF plus cisplatin group.Twelve days after implantation of cancer cells,different drugs were injected intra- tumorallv for 3d.The expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?)gene in the tumor was identified by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry(IHC)image analysis was performed to determine the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and kinase domain region receptor(KDR)expression and the microvessel density(MVD).Expression of matrix metallo- proteinase-2(MMP-2)was detected by flow cytometry.Results: The MVD values in the control group,the rmh-TNF group,the DDP group and the combination group were(24.76?1.28),(18.95?1.22),(19.53?1.15),(10.43?1.05),respectively,with those of the rmh-TNF and DDP groups significantly lower than that of the control group and higher than that of the combination group(all P

Bioimprinting is a new developed technique to improve the characteristics of enzymes.Bioimprinting by lauric acid was conducted to improve the esterification activity of lipase PS in sol-gel immobilization process with methyltrimethoxysila(MTMS) and tetramethoxysila(TMOS) as the precursors.Results generated by checking the esterification activity and scanning electron microscope showed that bioimprinting can enhance the specific activity and thermal stability of lipase PS.The bioimprinting system was optimized by orthogonal experiment,and the optimal condition for lipase bioimprinting is water/silane molar ration(R) 12,polyethylene glycol(PEG) 120?l,and lauric acid 0.15 mmol.Compared with the free enzyme and the non-imprinted enzymes,the specific activity of imprinted enzymes has been improved 44.3 fold and 2.4 fold,respectively.Imprinted lipase show better thermal stability,and the relative activity is 58% after incubated in 80 ℃ for 0.5 h,while no activity was detected for the free enzyme.
