Objective To study the clinical significance of liver failure staging and MELD in predicting the short term prognosis of HBV-acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF).Methods One hundred and ten HBV-ACLF patients admitted to our hospital from July 2013 to July 2015 were included into this study.They were divided into early stage group (n=18),middle stage group (n=48) and end stage group (n=44),the fatality rate in each group was evaluated.According to the MELD score at baseline,they were divided into four groups,MELD<20 (n =24),20≤ MELD<30 (n=54),30≤MELD<40(n =28),40≤MELD (n =4).The fatality rate in each group was evaluated.In the middle stage group,they were be divided into two groups,/△MELD<0 and △MELD>0(△MELD=MELD1w-MELDbaseline).The fatality rate in each group was evaluated.Results The fatality rate of the 3 groups(Early,Middle and End stage group) at 3th month was 0,50%,95 % respectively(P< 0.05).The fatality rate of the 4 groups (MELD<20,20≤MELD<30,30≤MELD<40,40≤MELD)was 31.58%,66.67%,85.71% and 100% respectively (P< 0.05).In the middle stage group,the fatality rate of the two groups was (△MELD<0 and △MELD> 0)41.18% and 85.71% (P=0.001).Conclusion It can be shown that the survival probability of early stage group was high,the probability of death in end stage group and middle stage group with△MELD>0 was high.

Objeetive To explore the value of antisense imaging of 99Tcm-labeled ASON targeting mouse double minute 2(MDM2) mRNA for the diagnosis of human prostate cancer.Methods The ASON targeting MDM2 mRNA and the mismatched oligonucleotide (ASONM) were synthesized and radiolabeled with 99Tcm using the bifunctional chelator HYNIC.The labeling efficiency and radiochemical purity were investigated.Animal models of nude mice bearing human prostate cancer LNCaP were established and divided into 3 groups with 10 mice in each group.99Tcm-HYNIC-ASON,99Tcm-HYNIC-ASONM (study groups) and 99TcmO4-(control group) were injected at the dose of 7.4 MBq through the tail vein,respectively.Tumor imaging was acquired with SPECT and the tumor-to-muscle (T/M) ratio was measured.The data was compared by one-way analysis of variance.Results The labeling efficiencies of ASON and ASONM were (65.15± 2.05) % and (64.93±2.18) %,respectively.Their radiochemical purity was greater than 90%.At 1,4 and 10 h post injection,the T/M ratios of 99Tcm-HYNIC-ASON group were 3.217±0.125,3.749± 0.201 and 4.028±0.186,and those of 99Tcm-HYNIC-ASONM group were 1.579t0.128,1.715±1.140 and 1.683±0.139,and control group 2.146±0.132,1.847±0.124,1.528±0.152,respectively.The T/M ratios in control group and 99Tcm-HYNIC-ASONM group were significantly lower than those in 99Tcm-HYNICASON group at 1,4 and 10 h,respectively (F=213.37-235.41,t=3.527-4.738; all P<0.01).The T/M ratios of 99Tcm-HYNIC-ASONM group and control group were not significantly different at 1,4 and 10 h (t=2.154,2.287 and 2.236,all P>0.05).Conclusion The antisense probe of MDM2 can accumulate specifically in prostate cancer tissue in animal models,which might be useful as a non-invasive genetic tool for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Survivin is a protein that inhibits apoptosis and regulates cell division.The cDNA sequence of survivin was amplified by RT-PCR and sub-cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-21b(+),followed by transformation into E.coli strain BL21(DE3) and induction with IPTG.The recombinant survivin protein fusing with 6?His tag was expressed in E.coli in the form of inclusion body at the expression level over 60% of the total cell protein.Results of Western blotting showed that recombinant survivin reacted specifically with anti-human survivin antibody.After gel filtration,the recombinant protein reached the purity over 95%,which facilitate the study of diagnosing and inhibitor agents targeting survivin.

Objective Paraquat(PQ) is an effective herbicide which is widely used in agricultural production .PQ poisoning is frequently seen in humans with the lung as the target organ ,but the poisoning mechanisms is not very clear .Studies show that endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS) is closely associated with poisoning , but there are few reports on the relationship between ER stress and PQ poi-soning.This article was to investigate the effects of ERS-induced apoptosis and total flavonoids from astragalus complanatus (FAC) in a-cute lung injury(ALI) following paraquat poisoning in rats . Methods A total of 30 adult healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were ran-domly divided into 3 groups:control group, ALI group, ALI+FAC group and ALI+saline group.Biochemical method was applied to de-tect superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in lung tisssue,TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay in observing lung apoptosis, Western blotting and real-time PCR(RT-PCR) in detecting the changes in expressions of C/EBP homologous peotein (CHOP), activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and X-box binding protein 1 (XBP) following ALI, and HE staining in observing the pathological changes of lung tissue . Results Compared with control group , the expression of MDA content was enhanced in ALI group ([3.26 ±0.24] vs [5.04 ±0.36],P<0.01), along with significantly decreased activity of SOD and CAT ([300.26 ±35.69] vs [187.21 ±25.66]), ([5.78 ±1.28] vs [2.15 ±1.12],P<0.01), increased cell apoptosis , upregulated pro-tain level of CHOP ([0.74 ±0.20] vs [0.23 ±0.07],P<0.01) and mRNA expression of ATF4, XBP1 and CHOP.However, FAC sig-nificantly attenuated ALI following PQ , as showed by reduced MDA content , enhanced activity of SOD and CAT , decreased cell apopto-sis, inhibited protain level of CHOP and mRNA expression of ATF 4, XBP1 and CHOP ([5.04 ±0.36] vs [3.99 ±0.27],P<0.01). Furthermore, the activity of SOD and CAT were higher in FAC pretreatment group than those in ALI group ([ 0.74 ±0.20 ] vs [0.42 ±0.11],P<0.01). Conclusion From the research, ERS-induced cell apoptosis is involved in ALI following PQ , and the protec-tive role of FAC in lung tissue following PQ is due to its effect in atten-uating ERS-induced apoptosis .

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Akt inhibitor MK-2206 on the proliferation and apoptosis of lung adenocarcino-ma A549 cells. METHODS:The optical density of A549 cells was detected by MTT assay after treated with 0(blank control),0.5, 1,2.5,5,10,20 and 30 μmol/L MK-2206 for 24 h;after pretreatment with 0(blank control),5,10 and 20 μmol/L MK-2206 for 24 h,morphological changes of A549 cells were observed with inverted microscope. Cell cycle and apoptosis rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the expression of cell cycle-related proteins Cyclin D1,p21 and p27 and apopto-sis-related protein PARP(cf-PARP),cf-caspase-3,Bcl-2 and Bax. RESULTS:Compared with blank control,the optical density of A549 cells decreased,cells shrank and presented vesicular state after treatment of MK-2206;A549 cells arrested in G0/G1 stage, the protein expression of p21 and p27 strengthened while that of Cyclin D1 decreased;the apoptotic rate of cells increased,the ex-pression of cf-PARP,cf-caspase-3 and Bax in cells increased while that of Bcl-2 decreased. All reponse were in concentration-de-pendant manner (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:MK-2206 can inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells,and induce the apoptosis of A549 cells by adjusting the expression of activating caspase-3,down-regulating Bcl-2 and up-regulating Bax.
