objective In the former research work, a differential-expressed gene was cloned from multi-drug resistance lung cancer cell line (SPC-A-1/CDDP) with suppression substractive hybridization, and in this study we further analyze the site of this gene on the chromosome, and appraise its function related to multi-drug resistance in lung cancer cells. Methods The cDNA sequence data of the gene was input to computer and analyzed to ascertain its site on human chromosome by screening the gen bank on the www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. With DNA recombination technique, the gene was reversedly inserted to the vector pLXSN to get an antisense expression recombinant vector pLXSN-R, which was then transfected into SPC-A-1/CDDP cells with the aid of electroporation technique. And the semi-quantitative RT-PCR technique was used to quantify the mRNA content of gene in the transfected cells. Finally, the chemosensitivity of the transfected cells was tested with MTT method. Results The gene was located on the human chromosome 19q13.3-19q13.4 locus. The antisense gene recombinant vector was successfully constructed and transfected into SPC-A-1/CDDP cells as shown by its inhibitory activity on the mRNA expression of the gene. The drug-resistance indexes of transfected SPC-A-1/CDDP cells for cisplatin, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, vincristin, hydroxycamptothecine and etoposide were obviously decreased. Conclusion The function of this gene is related to multi-drug resistance in human lung cancer cell, and its locus on the human chromosome is at 19q13.3-1913.4.

Objective To compare the ventilatory effects between three-way laryngeal mask airway (TLMA)and tracheal catheter (TC) on hemodynamics, respiratory function and stress responses on patients during bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Method Forty patients scheduled for BAL under general anesthesia were divided (stratified sampling) into either TLMA group (group T,n = 20) or TC group (group C, n = 20) according to the stratified sampling principle. SpO2, SBP, DBP and HR were measured in 5 min after entering the operating theater (To), just before inserting TLMA or TC(T1), immediately after inserting TLMA or TC(T2) ,3 min(T3), 5 min(T4), 10 min(T5)after mechanical ventilation, 10 min(T6),20 min(T7), 30 min(T8)during the course of BAL,immediately after extubating TLMA or TC (T9)and 3 min after extubating TLMA or TC (T10). The tidal volume (VT), peak inspiratory airway pressure (Ppeak) and end expiratory CO2 pressure(PETCO2)were recorded at T2,T4,T6,T7, T8, T10. The venous blood samples were taken at T0, T2, T3, T4, T6, T9, T10 for the measurements of epinephrine(AE), norepinephrine(NE)and dopamine (DA) levels with high performance liquid chromatography.Data were dealt with SPSS version 10.0 statistic software. The variables of hemodynamics and stress responses were analyzed with ANOVA of repeating test data. P < 0.05 means the difference in statistical significance. Results In group C, SBP, DBP and HR were significantly higher than those in group T at T2 ,T3 ,T9 (P < 0.05). In group C, the levels of Ppeak were significantly higher than those in group T at T6 ,T7 ,T8 (P < 0.05), and the concentrations of AE, NE and DA were also significantly higher in group C than those in group T at T2, T3 and T9 (P <0.05). Conclusions Ventilation with TLMA in patients during BAL is better than TC in respects of keeping stable ventilation, stable hemodynamics and producing less stress responses.
