Recent epidemiology and laboratory studies indicate that regular taking of aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) may reduce the risk of colorectal, esophageal, stomach and pancreatic cancers and other digestive cancers. Thus, aspirin and other NSAIDs may be an effective chemoprevention agent for digestive cancers. On the other hand, this protection effort may be benefitial to the course of the intervention, regression and prevention of cancer lesions. The possible mechanism of NSAIDs chemoprevention may be: (1)reducing the synthesis of prostaglandin(PG) and inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase(COX) activity; (2) inducing apoptosis in epithelial cells of the gastro-intestinal origin; (3)obstructing signaling transduction pathways of COX and PG. Now, chemoprevention of NSAIDs has become focus of research on cancer secondary prevention, as its protective effects of chemoprevention of digesrive cancer have been determined. NSAIDs, especially selective COX-2 inhibitor may be a novel useful chemoprevention agents for digestive cancer and their precursor lesions in future.

On the basis of the Uncaria transcriptome, specific primers were designed for UrSTR. The full-length cDNA of UrSTR (GeneBank: OL310251) was 1 541 bp, encoding 345 amino acid residues, and the promoter region sequence of UrSTR (GeneBank: OL310252) was 1 179 bp. Phylogenetic tree is revealed that UrSTR had a closest relationship with STR from Ophiorrhiza pumila and Ophiorrhiza japonica. Localization of UrSTR protein is revealed located in the vacuole membrane. Plant-care analysis indicated that the promoter region sequence of UrSTR, covering multiple light, stress and hormone-response cis-regulatory elements, and verified transcriptional activity. The results of SDS-PAGE show that pET-28a-UrSTR recombinant protein was successfully expressed, and the size was anticipated. The UrSTR prokaryotic expression system needs to be optimized in the later stage. The research lays the foundation for further purification to study its structure and functional characterization of the UrSTR protein.

Objective To investigate the change of the neutrophil apoptosis and neutrophil respiratory burst in the patients and the effect of ulinastatin on the apoptosis of neutrophil and respiratory burst of neutrophil during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Sixty-two patients undergoing valve replacement with CPB were randomly divided into two groups: ulinastatin group (U group, 31 cases) and control group (C group, 31 cases). In U group patients received ulinastatin after induction of anesthesia. In C group patients received equal volume of normal saline, instead of ulinastatin. Arterial blood was obtained before operation (T1), 30 min after the start of CPB (T2), 30 min after the termination of CPB (T3). The apoptosis of neutrophil and respiratory burst of neutrophil were measured by flow cytometer. The level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured by kit. Results In C group, compared with T1 [(66.57±5.93)%], the rate of the apoptosis of neutrophil was significantly decreased at T2[(55.37±3.51)%] and T3 [(48.92±4.21)%] (P<0.05). And in U group, compared with T1 [(73.57±7.94)%], the rate of the apoptosis of neutrophil was significantly decreased at T2 [(68.34±4.92)% ] and T3 [(62.13±4.76)%] (P<0.05), And it reached to the minimum at T3. The rate of the neutrephil apeptosis was significantly lower in C group than that in U group (P<0.05). The respiratory burst of neutrophil increased significantly after the start of CPB and reached to the peak at T3[C group (1422.50±89.75) MCF,U group (1156.52±93.20) MCF]. The respiratory burst of neutrophil in U group was significandy lower than that in C group at T2 and T3 (P<0.05). The vitality of SOD decreased significantly after the start of operation in the two groups (P<0.05). The level of MDA increased significantly after the start of operation in the two groups, and reached to the peak at T3. The vitality of SOD in C group was significantly lower than that in U group at T3 (P<0.05). The level of MDA in C group was significantly higher than that in U group at T3 (P<0.05). Conclusions The rate of neutrophil apoptosis decreased and the respiratory burst of neutrophil increased during CPB. By improving the apoptosis of neutrophil and reducing the respiratory burst of neutrophil, ulinastatin can inhibit inflammatory reaction during CPB. Meanwhile, ulinastatin can improve the vitality of SOD and reduce the level of MDA. In conclusion, ulinastatin has a significant protective effect during CPB.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of the study was to investigate the content of nickel (Ni) ion in patients' saliva after wearing the porcelain-fused-to nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) crown or the porcelain-fused-to nickel-chromium-titanium(Ni-Cr-Ti) crown.

METHODS50 patients who had one molar or premolar needed repairing were selected and divided into two groups randomly. Patients in one group were fabricated with porcelain-fused-to Ni-Cr crown and the patients in the other group were fabricated with porcelain-fused-to Ni-Cr-Ti crown. Collect the patients' saliva before wearing, 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months after wearing. The content of Ni ion in saliva was detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

RESULTSThe content of Ni ion in both groups increased at the first week, and go back after 6 months. There were no significant differences before wearing, 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months after wearing. There were no significant differences between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONWearing the porcelain-fused-to Ni-Cr crown or the porcelain-fused-to Ni-Cr-Ti crown has no significant influence on the content of Ni ion in saliva.

Two endophytic-bacteria isolates of G18 and F19 were isolated from the stem of Taxus chinensis. The G18 and F19 were respectively classified into Psudomonas sp. and Stenotrophomonas sp. based on biological characteristics and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The bioactivity analysis showed that the fermented broths of the G18 and F19 exhibited antagonistic activities against three pathogenic bacteria, and had good antagonistic effectiveness to Verticillium dahliae and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, respectively. The G18 can degrade salicylic acid, and the F19 can do dichlorvos.

Objective To discuss the pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment of delayed traumatic intracerebral hematoma.Methods The clinic data of traumatic delayed intracranial hematoma patients in this hospital were retro- spectively analyzed.According to clinic observation and CT re-examination,47 cases were diagnosed as delayed trau- matic intracranial hematoma(45 cases by operative treatment,and the other 2 by conservative treatment).Results There were 21 cases of recovery,10 cases of slight disability,8 cases of severe disability,8 cases of death.The total mortality rate was 17 %.Conclusion Brain contusion,subarachnoid hemorrhage and skull base fracture were impor- tant factors of DTICH.Fine-observation and prompt CT re-examination offered excellent results for DTICH.

AIM:To study the effect and the molecular mechanism of CDX 2 over-expression on the prolifera-tion, growth and cell cycle of human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.METHODS:The SGC-7901 cells in LV-CDX2-GFP group were transfected with the recombinant lentivirus vector LV-CDX2-GFP, the cells in LV-GFP group were trans-fected with the negative control lentiviral vector for the negative control , and the cells in blank control group were without any treatment.The cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay.The cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytome-try.The expression of CDX2, Bax, Bcl-2, cyclin D1 and survivin was determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Wes-tern blotting .RESULTS:Compared with LV-GFP group and blank control group , the proliferation activity of the SGC-7901 cells was significantly lower (P<0.05), the G0/G1 phase proportion increased (P<0.05), the mRNA and protein levels of Bcl-2, cyclin D1 and survivin were reduced (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein levels of Bax were up-regula-ted (P<0.05) in LV-CDX2-GFP group.No statistically significant difference of the above indexes was observed (P>0.05) between LV-GFP group and blank control group .CONCLUSION:Over-expression of CDX2 mediated by lentivirus inhibits the proliferation and growth of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells and arrestes the cell cycle at G 0/G1 phase, which may be related to down-regulation of Bcl-2, cyclin D1 and survivin and up-regulation of Bax .
