Objective To establish a method of SYBR Green Ⅰ FQ-PCR for detecting the expression of miR-202 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMC ) and analyze the expression of miR-202 and its clinical significance in MM.Methods Reverse transcription was performed with specific stemloop primer for miR-202,and then FQ-PCR was used to detected the expression of miR-202 in 21 MM patients and 20 healthy people.Data was presented as mean ± standard deviation ( (x) ± s ).Non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze the difference between MM group and control group.In addition,1∶ 125 dilution of one test sample was detected by repeated 5 times,and the same sample was tested one time a day for 3 days,repeated 5 each time.The assessment of repeatability of measurements was done by calculating standard deviation and variation coefficient from threshold cycle (Ct).Results FQ-PCR detection of miR-202 in PBMC was amplified by the standard S-curve,with a single melting curve peak and no complex peak,which showed good specificity.The assay showed good reproducibility (intra-assay coefficient 1.2％ and inter-assay coefficient 3.2％ ) and high sensitivity ( 12.8 pmol/μ1).The expression of miR-202 in MM was 0.014 ( 0.007 - 0.221 ) and 1.844 ( 0.162 - 3.966 ) in normal controls.The expression level of miR-202 was significantly higher in MM than in normal controls (U =48.000,P ＜0.01 ).Conclusions FQ-PCR provide us a rapid,sensitive and specific method for detection of miR-202.The expression level of miR-202 is higher in MM than in normal controls.It is possible to play a role in MM progress and may be a useful marker to evaluate the development and treatment of MM.

Taking α-asarone as model drug, mono methoxy polyethylene glycol-polylactic acid copolymer (mPEG-PLA) as the drug carrier material to prepare drug-loading nanoparticles by premix membrane emulsification for nasal administration. The prepared nanoparticles were spherical with smooth surface and average particle size of 360 nm. Polydispersity index (PDI) was 0. 030, average drug loading of (11.5 ± 0.045) % (n = 3), and the encapsulation efficiency of (86.34 ± 0.11) % (n = 3). X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry results showed that, α-asarone existed in mPEG-PLA carrier in amorphous or molecular state, different from simple physical mixture. In the in vitro release test in simulated human nasal cavity, α-asarone apis can be released quickly at close to 94% at 102 h, in line with the first-order kinetics (R² = 0.981 9). mPEG-PLA drug-loading nanoparticles release only 54%, with slow release effect, in line with Riger-Peppas model (R² = 0.967 9, n = 0.630 2), for non-fick diffusion, released by the spread of drugs and skeleton dissolution dual control. This provided the foundation for nasal drug delivery in vivo pharmacokinetic study.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of concentration, volume and temperature of aluminium water on the change of chromatoghraphic data of processed Rhizoina Arisaematis.

METHODChromatographic fingerprints of processed Radix Pinellia pedatisecta were determined by HPLC, and multivariate analysis was made for data processing.

RESULT AND CONCLUSIONNo change on the whole chromatoghraphic data was observed at different levels of concentrition and volume of aluminium water, while there was a great change at different levels of temperature.

OBJECTIVETo characterize the structural and the functional feature of a novel gene HSPCSET isolated from human CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HS/PCs).

METHODSBioinformatic technology was used to identify the structural features of the HSPCSET protein and perform the multiple sequence alignment. Yeast-two-hybrid system was used to identify the proteins interacting with the HSPCSET protein. After sequencing, we selected out the positive clones which had clear functions, and carried out beta-gal experiment and GST pull down assay to confirm the results. The cellular location of the HSPCSET was checked by immunofluorescence assay.

RESULTSThe HSPCSET protein belongs to a SET domain family, which is evolutionarily conserved across species. It implied that HSPCSET may have biologically important function. Using yeast-two-hybrid system, we showed that the protein sequence with SET domain might bind to 13 proteins, which involved in signaling transduction, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, development, etc. And 4 proteins (GADD34, SIVA, DNAJ and PHF1) were confirmed by one-on-one back of the hybrid experiment, beta-gal test and GST pull down assay. When GADD34 and HSPCSET were co-transfected, they co-localized in the nucleus, suggesting a strong interaction.

CONCLUSIONThe novel gene HSPCSET is likely to have biologically important function. This study provides the basis for further studies of its function in hematopoiesis and tumorigenesis.
