Objective To study the molecular mechanism of benzo( a) pyrene underlying the role of estrogen metabolism-related genes in human endometrial cancer cells. Methods Effect of benzo( a) pyrene on CYP450 was studied by exposing human endometrial cancer cells ( RL95-2) to benzo( a) pyrene at various concentrations ( 0. 016,0. 8,0. 4,2. 0 and 10 ?mol/L BP) for 12 h,or to 2 ?mol/L BP for 6,12,24,36 and 48 h. RL95-2 cells were harvested and cleaved. Expressions of CYP1A1,CYP1B1 and CYP3A4 proteins in RL95-2 supernatant were detected by Western blotting. Supersome in expressed CYP450 was used as a positive control to confirm the reliability of assay methods. Results The expression of CYP1A1 protein was significantly increased in RL95-2 cells 12 h after they were exposed to different concentrations of benzo( a) pyrene or to 2 ?mol/L BP for different periods of time,and reached it peak at 48 h,indicating that expression of CYP1A1 protein depends on the used dose and time of benzo( a) pyrene. Conclusion Benzo( a) pyrene can increase the expression of CYP1A1 in human endometrial cancer cells,cause changes in estrogen metabolism,and inhibit proliferation of human endometrial cancer ells.

[Abstract ] Objective Bioinformatics provides a lot of valuable information for online prediction of new genes.In this study, we predicted the biological function of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2S ( UBE2S) based on bioinformatics. Methods The UBE2S gene was screened and cloned from the cDNA library of human HepG2 cells.The relationship of the structure and function of UBE2S was explored based on the full-length cDNA library.MEGA5.05, CLUSTALW2 and SWISS-MODEL were used to study the phylogeny, conservation, and 3D structure of UBE2S. Results The UBE2S gene encoded a polypeptide of 241 residues with a predicted molec-ular weight of 23 770 and an isoelectric point of 8.81.The UBE2S protein contained no transmembrane locus and the probabilities of their functions of growth factors, cation channel and structural protein were 8.904, 0.313, and 0.291.The analysis of BLASTp showed that the isolated UBE2S had a 90-97%identity with the other species. Conclusion Analysis of the structure and function of the UBE2S protein can not only provide more information about its gene family but also pave the way for further experimental studies on the molecular mechanism of the consequent hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the association between R353Q polymorphism of the coagulation factor Ⅶ gene and cerebral infarction in Chinese Han people. Methods Restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) methods was adopted to detect FⅦR353Q genotype and R、Q allelomorphie gone frequency of 100 cerebral infarction(CI) patients and 106 healthy people. Results There was FⅦR353Q polymorphism in the CI patients and healthy subjects. RR and RQ genotype could be found in the control group and CI group. RR and RQ genotype dis-position consistented with Hardy-weinberg equilibrium. In CI group,RR genotype was in 91 cases,RQ was in 9 cases and QQ in 0 case(the distribution frequencies were 91.00% ,9.00% and 0), and in the healthy subjects, those are 94 cases, 12 cases and 0 case(88.70% ,11.30% and 0). In the control group and CI group,R allele genotype fre-quencies were 94.33% and 95.50%, and Q were 5.67% and 4.50%. There was not significantly different in the R353Q polymorphism (χ20.3027, P=0.5822);Q allele genotype was not significantly different between the cases of control group and CI patients(χ20.2865, P=0.5925). Conclusion There are the FⅦR353Q polymorphism in Han population,however,the idea that the Q allele is a protective factor in CI is not supported.

Objective To investigate epidemiological and clinical features of human ehrlichiosis.Methods The epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, therapeutic and prognostic data of 21 clinically diagnosed cases of human ehrlichiosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results The epidemic regions where the ticks' activity was high located at the boundary between Hubei and Henan Provinces. All cases were farmers. The median age was 50 years ranged from 19 to 69 years. The male female ratio evident history of tick bite 1 week before the onset. The common symptoms included fever, diarrhea,cough, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and expectoration. The complications included hemorrhage, toxic encephalopathy, acute renal insufficiency, secondary infection and respiratory failure. The common abnormalities of routine lab data were thrombocytopenia, hypoeosinophilia,elevated lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase and aminotransferases, leucopenia and proteinuria.Nine cases were tested with peripheral blood smear and intracytoplasmic inclusions in neutrophils were found in one case. Seventeen cases were tested with serological assay and antibodies against Ehrlichia were positive in five cases. After doxycycline, symptomatic and supportive treatments, 14 cases were recovered and seven died. The average age of the deaths was 56 years. Conclusions Human ehrlichiosis is an acute tick-borne zoonosis and multiorgan could be involved. The older cases prone to develop complications and the prognosis is poor.
