Purpose:To investigate the relationship between cell apoptosis and dephosphorylated RB protein in human breast cancer. Methods:In our work,human breast cell lines (MCF-7/S,the chemosensitive cell line and MCF-7/ADR,the chemoresistent cell line)were evaluated. Chemosensitivity of two cell lines was evaluated by the MTT colorimetric assay;the expressive levels of dephosphorylated RB protein were detected with immunocytochemistry. Apoptosis rates were determined by flow cytometry(FCM). Results:ADR inhibited proliferation of chemosensitive cell line MCF-7/S ,the 50% inhibition concentration (IC 50 ) was 0.128 ?g/ml;And IC 50 of MCF-7/ADR was 10.89 ?g/ml. The chemotherapeutic sensitivity of MCF-7/S was more than that of MCF-7/ADR by 86 times . Before treatment with ADR,phosphorylated RB protein was positive in two cell lines,but dephosphorylated RB protein was negative;After treatment of different concentration ADR,when the concentration of ADR was increased,expression of dephosphorylated RB protein elevated accordingly in MCF-7/S,but no significant change in MCF-7/ADR. Apoptosis and cell cycle was detected by FCM assays shows ADR induced apoptosis of MCF-7/S more than MCF-7/ADR(P0.05).

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction technology of Paeonia lactiflora. METHODS:The surface figure made by mixed uniform design combined with the quadratic polynomial stepwise regression equation is adopted to optimize the extraction technology of P. lactiflora by using the content of paeoniflorin as index,with extraction solvent,the amount of extraction solvent, extraction time,extraction times as factors. RESULTS:The optimal extraction technology of P. lactiflora was as follows as 90%ethanol,12-folds extraction solvent,extracting for 150 min,extracting for 2 times. The measured value of 3 validation tests were 2.848 4%,2.795 7%,2.841 9%(RSD=0.82%,n=3),which was close to the predicted value 2.848 4%. CONCLUSIONS:The method is convenient and accurate,and can be used for the extraction of P. lactiflora.

Analysis is made to the necessary of interdisciplinary,and point four sections should be concerned when begin to construct the interdisciplinary in general hospital which are short term profits and long term culture,personal development and team building,the passion of the young and the leadership of the old,the cooperation with the science and engineering and the communicate with the humanities.At last it also lists the steps and main points on how to begin the construction of interdisciplinary in general hospital.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect of Jiangzhi Tiaoya Granule (JZTYG) in treating essential hypertension and its protection on function of vascular endothelial cells (VEC).

METHODSFifty-nine patients of essential hypertension divided into two groups were treated with JZTYG (the treated group) and Jinjia Yixintong (the control group) respectively. The changes of symptoms, signs, blood pressure, heart rate were observed and the levels of endothelin (ET), calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) content were determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA).

RESULTSThe total effective rates of JZTYG in lowering blood pressure and improving symptoms were both 90.0%, markedly effective rate in lowering blood pressure and improving symptoms was 36.7% and 60.0% respectively. The symptom improved in the treated group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). It also could reduce the plasma ET level (P < 0.05) and ET/CGRP ratio (P < 0.01), and increase the CGRP level (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONJZTYG has a promising clinical therapeutic effect in treating essential hypertension and is able to protect the VEC function.

Bacillus subtilis B6-1 was used as an original strain for mutagenic treatment and a defined medium was used as the selective medium. A mutant named B. subtilis W003 was isolated after three serial ultraviolet (UV) irradiations and one diethyl sulfate (DES) treatment. The ?-PGA yield on a rotary shaker was enhanced from 10.9 g/L in parental strain to 20.5 g/L in the mutant. It was illustrated by single factor experiments that the optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were glucose and (NH4)2SO4 respectively. The optimal fermentation medium was achieved by orthogonal test. In the optimal medium, a ?-PGA yield of 45.3 g/L was obtained after 36 h cultivation.

BACKGROUND:Great development has been made in the research of various repair materials and tissue-engineered bone, and different materials exhibit a strong ability to repair bone defects. OBJECTIVE:To review the research status and progress of repair materials for bone defects. METHODS:PubMed, PMC, CBM, CNKI and WanFang databases were used online to retrieve the relative articles regarding repair materials for bone defects published from June 2007 to June 2017. The key words were "biomaterials, bone repair materials, bone substitute, bone tissue engineering, bone defect, bone repair" in English and Chinese, respectively. Finally, 66 eligible articles were included, while the unrelated and repeated ones were excluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The main repair materials for bone defects include autologous bone, allogeneic bone, xenogeneic bone, demineralized bone matrix, bioceramics, metal materials, polymer materials,tissue-engineered bone and relative derived composites. Different materials have shown certain advantages and disadvantages. Clinicians should make an optimal choice in view of the characteristics of materials. Although there is a great progress in thestudies of repair materials for bone defects, further investigations are warranted on how to produce highly biomimetic materials, optimize cell adhesion and migration, precisely control the expression and release of related genes and growth factors, validate clinical safety, and provide medical evidence in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the short term effect of bipolar arthroplasties in aged cases with intertrochanteric fractures.Methods There were 23 males and 15 females(at age of 70-93 years, average 76 years)with unstable intertrochanteric fractures treated with the third generation cementing techniques and bipolar arthroplasties that were followed up for average 2.4 years.The clinical effect was evaluate with Harris scale,X-ray films and complications.Results Of all,34 cases(89.5%)could walk freely.The average Harris scale was 84.2 points.The average period until walk with full-weight load was 5.6 weeks.The greater trochanters was united in 35 cases(92%)during average 4.2 months.No peri-prothetic ossteolysis and loosening or subsidence occurred.Conclusions Cemented bipolar arthro- plasty has good advantages of reduced laying up period and few complications.The short-term outcome is satisfactory hut the long-term outcome needs deeper observation.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a technical process for the separation and purification of total flavones from Licorice. METHODS: The static absorption capacity of macroreticular adsorptive resins D101、Hz-806、AB-83 for total flavones from licorice were compared. The macroreticular adsorptive resin columns on the Licorice extractives were eluted respectively with different concentrations of ethanol, then the content, the weight of residue and purity coefficient of flavones from Licorice in the eluant were detected. RESULTS: The optimal technological conditions were found in AB-8 as follows: flow rate=3ml/min, sample concentration=1.5 mg/ml, pH=5 and 80% ethanol was used as eluting agent. CONCLUSIONS: AB-8 macroreticular adsorptive resin can effectively separate and purify total flavones from licorice, the purity coefficient thus obtained being over 50%, which meets the requirement of the study of effective components of herbal medicine.
