Objective: To investigate the effect of Trichostatin A (TSA) on histone acetylation and expression of ING1b mRNA in Colo205 human colon cancer cell line. Methods: Human colon cancer Colo205 cells were cultured and divided into 4 groups. Cells in the control group (group A) was treated without TSA. In the other three groups, cells were treated with 3 different concentrations of TSA: 50μg/L (group B), 100μg/L (group C), and 200μg/L (group D). At 24 hours after treatment, the level of histone H3 acetylation was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) and the expression of ING1b mRNA was detected by RT-PCR with qPCR. The growth of Colo205 human colon cancer cells in group C and D was obviously inhibited compared with that in group A and B. Results: The Ct value of histone H3 acetylation and mRNA expression of ING1b in group A were 23.25± 0.08 and 23.32±0.05, respectively. After treatment with TSA, the 2~(-△△Ct) value of histone H3 acetylation in group B, C, and D were 1.12, 4.21 and 4.38, respectively. The level of histone H3 acetylation in group C and D was increased more compared with that in group A (P<0.05) and there was no difference between group B and group A (P>0.05). The 2~(-△△Ct) value of the expression of ING1b mRNA in group B, C and D were 1.33, 4.52 and 4.62, respectively. The expression of ING1b mRNA in group C and D were more than that in group A (P<0.05). Group B and group A had a similar level of ING1b mRNA expression (P>0.05). Conclusion: The histone acetylation is probably responsible for ING1b expression silencing in Colo205 human colon cell line. TSA at 100μg/L can increase the level of acetylation and activate the gene transcription which is silenced by low level of acetylation and induce the expression of gene, inhibiting the growth of tumor cells.

We carried out parallel design and development of two differently structured auto sampler based on a multi-axis and multi-mode high-precision closed-loop servo control system. An integrated embedded control drive module was developed based on the idea of compatibility and inter-changeability, so that DC motor and encoder were standardized into uniform models. Meanwhile, electric and mechanical interfaces were uniformed to a same standard. This allows the direct exchange of above-mentioned components between the two models. A 1-μL manual sample injection syringe was installed on both standard 110-sample and platform 40-sample liquid auto sample injectors connected with gas chromatographer. Approximately 0. 5μL of cetane-isooctyl was sampled for 6 consecutive times at six different positions in the sample bottle. The repeatability RSDs of the injection peak areas of the two systems were 1. 1% and 1. 5%, respectively. A linear correlation coefficient (0. 9947) of peak area with injection volume was achieved based on the gradient sampling volume of 0. 1, 0. 3, 0. 5, 0. 7 and 0. 9 μL.

The compressive strength of the original bone tissue was tested, based on the raw human thigh bone, bovine bone, pig bone and goat bone. The four different bone-like apatites were prepared by calcining the raw bones at 800 degrees C for 8 hours to remove organic components. The comparison of composition and structure of bone-like apatite from different bone sources was carried out with a composition and structure test. The results indicated that the compressive strength of goat bone was similar to that of human thigh bone, reached (135.00 +/- 7.84) MPa; Infrared spectrum (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results showed that the bone-like apatite from goat bone was much closer to the structure and phase composition of bone-like apatite of human bones. Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) test results showed that the content of trace elements of bone-like apatite from goat bone was closer to that of apatite of human bone. Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) results showed that the Ca/P value of bone-like apatite from goat bone was also close to that of human bone, ranged to 1.73 +/- 0.033. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) patterns indicated that the macrographs of the apatite from human bone and that of goat bone were much similar to each other. Considering all the results above, it could be concluded that the goat bone-like apatite is much similar to that of human bone. It can be used as a potential natural bioceramic material in terms of material properties.

BACKGROUND:Human periodontal ligament stem cels are a kind of mesenchymal stem cels that have self-renewal and multidifferentiation potential. Previous studies have showed that human periodontal ligament stem cels can differentiate into osteoblast-like cels or adipocyte-like cels under appropriate induction. Yet few studies have focused on the expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor which wil affect the osteogenic potential of Human periodontal ligament stem cels. OBJECTIVE:To examine the expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor between human periodontal ligament stem cels and human periodontal ligament cels and to discuss the role of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in osteogenic differentiation. METHODS:By using magnetic-bead cel sorting, we separated and identified the human periodontal ligament stem cels and human periodontal ligament cels. We examined and compared the mRNA expression level of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in human periodontal ligament stem cels and human periodontal ligament cels by Real-Time PCR. Osteoblastic differentiation was examined throughin vitro matrix mineralization by alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Positive immunomagetic sorted cels were positive for STRO-1, CD146, Vimentin, indicating that they were periodontal ligament stem cels. Parathyroid hormone 1 receptor was expressed in human periodontal ligament stem cels and mainly located in cel membrane and cytoplasm which were similar to human periodontal ligament cels and MG63 cels. The expression of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor in human periodontal ligament stem cels was 3.7 times higher than that in human periodontal ligament cels, which was similar to that in MG63 cels. After osteogenic induction, human periodontal ligament stem cels showed a higher expression of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor and osteoblast-related genes as wel as the activity of osteoblast alkaline phosphatase and mineralization compared to human periodontal ligament cels. Our data showed that parathyroid hormone 1 receptor was higher in human periodontal ligament stem cels than human periodontal ligament cels and the expression was related with osteogenic differentiation, suggesting that human periodontal ligament stem cels display a higher potency of osteogenic differentiation and act as seed cels with a vast application prospect in oral tissue engineering.

Objective To evaluate the radiation protective efficacy of different types and the positions of ceiling-suspended lead shield to the principal and assistant interventional operators in order to provide a scientific basis for the selection of optimal scheme in using ceiling-suspended lead shield.Methods At the principal and assistant interventional operators’ standing places the personal dose-measuring instruments were set up, which were placed at the height of 20 cm to 180 cm above the ground with an interval distance of 20 cm between each other.The postero-anterior (PA) projection and left lateral projection were used.The ceiling-suspended protection lead shields included lead glass (glass type) and lead glass with connected lead flexible stripe below (mixed type).The placed sites of the protection lead-shields were close to the principal operator, away from the principal operator, on the left side of the principal operator and close to the X-ray tube respectively.The radiation doses of PA projection and left lateral projection were determined.The real-time radiation dose rate and dose shielding rate at the nine measuring positions for the principal operator and assistant operator were separately calculated.The results were analyzed.Results The radiation protection of the glass type was slightly superior to that of the mixed type, but the difference was not significant.The principal operator was best protected when the shield was positioned close to him in the PA projection, and for left lateral projection the principal operator was best protected when the shield was positioned on his left side.For the assistant operator, the optimal protection was obtained when the shield was positioned close to him in both PA and left lateral projection.In the optimal position of ceiling-suspended lead shield, the highest radiation dose rate (0.71 mSv/h in glass group and 1.07 mSv/h in mixed group) was recorded on the principal operator at the height of 120 cm at PA projection, and higher radiation dose rate (≥0.47 mSv/h) was recorded on every point of both operators at the left lateral projection.Meanwhile, the overall received radiation doses of the two groups were very close.At the principal operator standing area, except for the position of 120 cm height (attenuation ratio 60.11% in glass group and 39.89% in mixed group), the attenuation ratio of each measuring point was above 93%.And the assistant operator standing area the attenuation ratio was 57%-97%.The lateral shielding ratio was generally slightly higher than PA shielding ratio.Conclusion The radiation protection effect of the two type shields is quite similar, both shields can obtain excellent protection efficacy.But the radiation dose at the height of 120 cm above the ground at PA projection is higher for the principal operator, while at lateral projection the radiation dose at all height levels is still relatively higher for both operators.Therefore, the radiation protection at the level of 120 cm height needs to be strengthened and the lateral projection exposure should be used as less as possible.

TLR4-MD-2 complex plays a key role in LPS recognition and its signal transduction. These steps are the vital elements of the host's defensive reaction. Studying the functional domain of TLR4 and MD-2 is very important to further understand the mechanism of LPS signal transduction. It was studied the interaction domain of TLR4 and MD-2 in living cells based on gene mutation, gene transfection and fluorescence resonance energy tramsfer(FRET) which is considered as one of the best methods used for intracellular protein-protein interaction study. CY-15P which was fused by CFP and YFP through 15 neutral amino acids was used as positive control, while co-expressed CFP and YFP proteins were used as negative control. The results showed that the ability of TLR4 binding to MD-2 decreased dramatically after the deletion of Glu~(24) ～ Met~(41) in N terminal of TLR4. Aggregation of TLR4 to LPS stimulation was observed, however, TLR4 without the Glu~(24)～ Met~(41) mutation did not aggregate. All these results indicated that TLR4 Glu~(24)～ Met~(41) might be the interaction domain of TLR4 binding to MD-2 and participate in the aggregation effect of TLR4 upon LPS stimulation.
