Objective To identify the relationship among glycogenes,N-glycans and hepatocarcinoma metastasis and drug resistance by studying the differential expressions of glycogenes and N-glycans in MHCC97-H and MHCC97-L human hepatocarcinoma cell lines,and to confirm the novel target of hepatocarcinoma metastasis and anti-tumor therapy.Methods Real-time PCR was used to quantitatively analyze glycogenes and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-lectin was used to analyze glycans characteristics.RNA interference approach was used to interfere the glycogenes,and the invasive ability in vitro and drug susceptibility of MHCC97-H cells were detected before and after interference.Modification of N-glycosylation (tunicamycin and PNGase F treatment) was done,and the invasiveness in vitro,tumorigenicity in vivo and drug susceptibility of MHCC97-H cells were detected before and after modification.Results The expressions of glycogenes and glycans were different in MHCC97-H cells and MHCC97-L cells.The silence of MGAT5 in MHCC97-H cells inhibited invasion ability and increased sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil in vitro(t =7.312,P < 0.05).Modification of N-glycosylation decreased MHCC997-H cells invasion ability in vitro and tumorigenicity in vivo and increased sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil.Conclusion The differential expressions of glycogens and N-glycans in human hepatocarcinoma cell lines correlate with tumor invasion and drug resistance,and they are expected to be novel targets of tumor chemotherapy.

To improve the quality of teaching, teaching reform and exploration on integration of Ttradition Chinese Orthopedics curriculum has been carried out by orthopedics teaching and research section in our school. Putting Traditional Chinese Orthopedics as the framework of curriculum knowledge, the im-portant and difficult points of Human Anatomy and Clinical Medical Science were combined, which builds the overall teaching mode of normal-disease-cases and get some results. The evaluation of teaching effect shows thatthe integration of Traditional Chinese Orthopedicscourse will enable students to lay a solid the-oretical foundation and improve their ability.

OBJECTIVE:
To establish a method of fingerprint position, sample transfer and fingerprint DNA extraction in contact samples.
METHODS:
Sixty-six cases were visualized by 502 glue fingerprint fumigation. Two methods, ordinary wipe and acetone wipe, were used to transfer cast-off cells of fingerprints from testing samples, respectively. DNA was extracted and purified by ultramicro magnetic bead kit. The data was resolved on genetic analysis after amplification.
RESULTS:
In 33 samples, 30 samples got better STR analysis by acetone wipe method. The peak range was 1,000-4,000 RFU and peak shapes were equable. It was hard to get ideal STR typing by ordinary wipe method.
CONCLUSION
The samples are visualized by 502 glue fingerprint fumigation and the case-off cells are transferred by acetone wipe method. The method shows better STR analysis result, which might be a better method for forensic science practice.

Objective To investigate the toxicity of lidocaine solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) in human neurons.Methods Lidocaine-loaded SLNs were prepared using high pressure homogenization.SHSY5Y cells were cultured in vitro and inoculated on 96-well plates (100 μl/well) at a density of 5× 105 cells/ml.SH-SY5Y cells were randomized into 10 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:control group (group C), different concentrations of lidocaine groups (L1-4 groups), different concentrations of lidocaine SLN groups (L-SLN1-4 groups), and blank SLN group (group SLN).The cells were cultured routinely in group C.The cells were incubated with the culture medium containing lidocaine with the final concentrations of 1.000%, 0.500%, 0.250% and 0.125% in L1-4 groups, respectively.In LSLN1-4 groups, the cells were incubated with the culture medium containing lidocaine SLNs with the final concentrations of 1.000%, 0.500%, 0.250% and 0.125% in L1-4 groups, respectively.Before incubation (at the corresponding time points in group C), and at 1, 12 and 24 h of culture or incubation (T0-3) , 6 wells in each group were selected for measurement of the cell survival rate (using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay).The cell morphology was examined with optical microscope at T3.Results Compared with that at T0, the cell survival rate was significantly decreased at each time point in L1-4 and L-SLN1,2 groups, at T2,3 in L-SLN3 group, and at T3 in L-SLN4 group (P<0.05) , and no significant change was found in SLN and C groups (P>0.05).The cell survival rate was significantly lower at T2,3 in L1-4 and L-SLN1-3 groups, and at T3 in group L-SLN4 than that at T1, and at T3 in L1-4 and L-SLN1-4 groups than that at T2 (P<0.05).Compared with group C, the cell survival rate was significantly decreased at each time point in L1-4 and L-SLN1,2 groups, at T2,3 in group L-SLN3, and at T3 in group L-SLN4 (P<0.05) , and no significant change was found in group SLN (P>0.05).Compared with group L-SLN at the corresponding concentration, the cell survival rate was significantly decreased at each time point in group L1-4 (P<0.05).Conclusion Lidocaine SLNs have toxic effect on human neurons, but the effect is weaker than that caused by Iidocaine solution.

Objective:To investigate the reversal multidrug resistance effects of curcumin on human colorectal cancer cell lines resistant to oxaliplatin( SW620/OxR) and whether its mechanism was involved in downregulation of STAT3 signaling.Methods: The IC50 value(50%cell growth inhibitory concentrations) of curcumin to SW620/OxR cell lines was obtained by WST-1 reagent,which was one kind of cell proliferation assay.Later experiments included in the experimental group and the control group.In the experimental group,SW620/OxR cell lines were exposed to the previous experiment IC50 concentrations of curcumin plus 2 μmol/L oxaliplatin for 48 h,while in the control group,SW620/OxR cell lines were cultured in medium containing in 2μmol/L oxaliplatin.In the two groups:apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry;the protein expression levels of phosphorylated STAT3(P-STAT3) and P-gp were disclosed by Western blot.Results:The IC50 value of curcumin to SW620/OxR cell lines was 18.9 μmol/L.The apoptosis rate of cells in the control group and the experimental group were respectively ( 5.08 ±1.82 )% and ( 30.69 ±2.94 )%, the apoptosis rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05 ) .The protein expression levels of phosphorylated STAT3(P-STAT3) and P-gp in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Curcumin can reverse drug resistance in colorectal cancer cell lines resistant to oxaliplatin, its effect may be associated with downregulation of STAT3 signaling pathways.

A sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) method was established for the determination of eplerenone (EP) in human plasma. The plasma samples of EP were extracted with ethyl acetate and separated by HPLC on a reversed phase C18 column with a mobile phase of 10 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate water solution-methanol (30 : 70, v/v). EP was determined with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 2-4 000 ng x mL(-1) for EP. The lower limit of quantification was 2 ng x mL(-1). The method has been successfully applied in the pharmacokinetic study of the EP tablets. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of EP after oral administration of 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg were as follows, t1/2: (4.9 +/- 2.1), (4.7 +/- 1.5), (5.9 +/- 1.2) h; AUC(0-infinity): (4 402 +/- 1 735), (8 150 +/- 2 509), (13 783 +/- 4 102) microg x h x L(-1); and MRT: (6.2 +/- 2.1), (6.6 +/- 1.3), and (7.2 +/- 1.6) h. Parameters of EP after oral administration of multiple doses of 50 mg were as follows, t1/2: (6.1 +/- 1.7) h; AUC(ss): (10 071 +/- 4220) microg x h x L(-1); MRT: (8.1 +/- 2.3) h; and DF: (3.2 +/- 1.0).
