Objective To explore the effect of gene NDRG2(N-myc downstream regulated gene 2) transfection on the proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer cell.Methods Bcap37 cell line expressing low level product encoded by NDRG2 gene is transfected with recombinating adenovirus expressing high level NDRG2 gene product to improve NDRG2 gene expression level. NDRG2 expression was detected by Western blot and the proliferation activity of the cell lines was detected by MTT and flow cytometry. Results High level expression of NDRG2 inhibits cells growth and results in G1 phase arrest in Bcap37 cell line. Compared with non-transfected Bcap37 cells and Bcap37 cells transfected by empty vector,apoptosis cells obviously increase in Bcap37 cell line transfected by recombinating adenovirus expressing high level NDRG2 gene,12% after 48 hours and 21.5% after 72 hours. Conclusion Overexpression of NDRG2 in Bcap37 cells effectively inhibites cell proliferation and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

As patients with type 1 diabetes,both the function and number of their beta cells decreased.Despite treating with insulin in early stage,it can't avoid the occurrence of serious complications or death.However,Immunotherapy,different from the previous replacement therapy,emphasizes re-balance between affected T cells and immune regulative effect,suppresses autoimmune reaction,and strengthens the tolerance of beta cells of islet to it.At present,a variety of immune medicines have already been approved for the treatment of type 1 diabetes,such as anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody,GAD-alum,etc.

AIM: To investigate the effect of detoxifying herbs polygonum cuspidatum, and hawthorn, herb of promoting blood flow, on pathologic morphology and inflammatory factors in apolipoprotein E gene knockout mice, in order to approach the possible regulatory mechanism of polygonum cuspidatum and hawthorn for treating artherosclerosis (AS) unstable plaque. METHODS: The animals were divided into 7 groups (12 mice in every group). The ApoE (-/-) mice fed with high fat diet were divided into polygonum cuspidatum group, hawthorn group, polygonum cuspidatum + hawthorn group, Xuezhikang group and high fat diet model group. Moreover, ApoE (-/-) mice fed with normal diet (normal diet group) and C57BL/6J mice fed with normal diet (normal control group) were set up. After intragastric administration for 17 weeks, serum hs-CRP was detected, aorta structure was observed under light microscope and NF-κB protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The pathological change of AS in aorta in all groups fed with high fat diet and normal diet group were observed with different degree. The changes of aortic lesion in all treatment groups were reduced. The levels of NF-κB and hs-CRP in high fat diet group were significant higher than those in normal control group and normal diet group. Serum NF-κB and hs-CRP levels decreased in every treatment group, which were significant different from those in high fat diet model group (P<0.01). Among them, the changes in polygonum cuspidatum and hawthorn groups were the best. CONCLUSION: Chinese herbs of polygonum cuspidatum and hawthorn reduce inflammatory factors NF-κB and hs-CRP expression and play a role in anti-AS formation.

Purpose:Constructing a high-flux tissue microarray/tissue chip and detecting IGF-Ⅱprotein expression of cases by it, and to determine the correlation between IGF-Ⅱprotein expression and lung cancer. Methods:A series of tissue chips were prepared by using tissue arrayer with samples from lung cancers of different histological classifications. Specimens from 54 cases of lung cancer and 10 cases of normal lung tissues were detected immunohistochemically on a tissue chip for IGF-Ⅱprotein expression and its correlation to clinic-pathological parameters was analyzed statistically. Results:Positive rate of IGF-Ⅱprotein in lung cancer was 42.6%(23/54), which was higher than that of normal lung(0.0%, 0/10, P0.05). Conclusions:IGF-Ⅱprotein might be related to the malignant behaviors of lung cancer. Detecting the expression of IGF-Ⅱ protein probably can predict the prognosis of lung cancer. It is feasible to utilize tissue chip for screening of clinical tissue specimens on a large scale.

Objective To investigate the current state of nurse leaders′leadership and nurse physician cooperation, to explore the relationship between them, and to provide reference for improving nurse physician cooperation situation. Methods Totally 193 nurse leaders were recruited who were participated in Anhui nursing management training courses. A series of questionnaires were used to collect data, including general information, competency inventory for registered nurse, nurse physician cooperation scale. Results One hundred and eighty- two questionnaires were valid. The score of nurse managers′leadership was (27.85±6.27) points,while the score of nurse physician cooperation scale was (68.31±11.67) points. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the control of general information, leadership for the interpretation of the nurse physician cooperation level increased by 27.3% (△R2 = 0.273, P = 0.000). Conclusions Hospital managers can adopt effective strategies to raise the level of nurses' leadership, which further increases the nurse physician cooperation level.

Objective To develop a BP26 recombinant BCG (rBCG-BP26) vaccine,and to observe the effects of rBCG-BP26 on CD4+,CD8+ T cells in immunized mice.Methods The recombinant shuttle vector pMV261-Ag85B-BP26 was constructed by using traditional molecular biological technology.The recombinant strains were obtained by kanamycin resistance screening and PCR identification after electroporation.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of recombinant BP26 vaccine in immunized mice.Safety experiment was carried out in three different groups:the target experiment(rBCG-BP26) group,the positive control(BCG) group and the negative control(PBS) group,15 BALB/c mice in each group.Intradermal inoculations of 100 μl rBCG-BP26 [containing 106 colony forming units(CFU)],BCG,and PBS were carried out,respectively.Signs of mice in each group were observed.After immunization for 10,20,30,and 40 days,body weight was weighed,and tail blood was collected to observe the change of peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by flow cytometry.Results The rBCG-BP26 was successfully constructed.The expression of BP26 protein was detected in the liquid medium and the bacteria cells.The results of safety test analysis showed that there were no significant differences in signs and body weights(F=2.468,0.331,1.520,0.739,all P＞ 0.05),between PBS group[ (19.24 ± 0.54),(21.37 ± 0.66),(22.83 ± 0.62),(25.06 ± 0.37)g],BCG group[ (19.90 ± 0.02),(21.53 ± 1.57),(21.95 ± 0.55),(24.70 ± 0.39)g]and rBCG-BP26 group[ (19.16 ± 0.55 ),(20.89 ± 0.20),(22.15 ± 0.76),(24.60 ± 0.64)g].The results of flow cytometry showed that the percentages of CD4+ T cell level were lower in BCG group(26.70％,33.07％) and rBCG-BP26 group( 13.40％,26.70％) than that of the PBS group(33.85％,29.33％) and the values of CD4+/CD8+ T cells increased in rBCG-BP26 group (0.69％,1.27％,1.57％,1.70％ ) 10,20 and 30 days after immunization.Conclusions Recombinant BCG-BP26 vaccine strain can express brucella BP26 protein efficiently.Furthermore,its virulence is mild,and it can activate CD4+,CD8+ T cells in the body.It can be used as one of candidate vaccine strain against brucellosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of ultrasound irradiating hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT)-loaded microbubbles on apoptosis in human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells, and to clarify its probable mechanism. Methods The SMMC-7721 cells were randomly divided into six groups as follows: control group, blank liposome microbubbles plus ultrasound, HCPT-loaded microbubbles, HCPT, HCPT plus ultrasound,and HCPT-loaded microbubbles plus ultrasound. Apoptosis was ascertained by Annexin V-Fire/ PI and TUNEL methods. The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax protein was detected by immunocytochemistry staining technique. Results In the group of HCPT-loaded microbubbles plus ultrasound,the apoptosis rate at early term was found to reach (12.18 ± 1.38)% by Annexin V-Fitc/PI assay, brown-colored positive apoptotic cells were observed and the apoptosis rate at advanced term was found to reach (34.25 ± 1.83)% with TUNEL method. The expression of Bcl-2 was found to decrease,the expression of Bax increase,and the ratio of Bcl-2/bax significantly decrease by immunocytochemistry staining technique in the same group. Differences with other groups were significant. Conclusions The method of ultrasound irradiating HCPT-loaded microbubbles can notability induce human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells apoptosis. The decrease in the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax might be responsible for cells apoptosis.
