OBJECTIVE: To prepare 5-fluorouracil(5-Fu) microemulsion and to investigate the intestinal absorption of 5-Fu microemulsion in rats. METHODS: The formulation of 5-Fu microemulsion was optimzied using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams with isopropyl myristate (IPM) as oil phase and ODO-L as surfactant; the intestinal absorption ex vivo model was prepared using everted intestinal sac method to investigate the absorption sites and absorption efficiency of 5-Fu microemulsion in rats. RESULTS: IPM/ODO-L/EtOH/H2O (Km=1∶2) was selected as the delivery system of 5-Fu; as compared with 5-Fu solution, the intestinal absorption of 5-Fu microemulsion was significantly improved and the middle and lower segments of rat's intestine were the best sbsorption sites for 5-Fu microemulsion and the accumulative aborption rates of 5-Fu microemulsion at 90 min was 3-fold that of 5-Fu solution. CONCLUSION: The prepared 5-Fu microemulsion is stable in quality and well-absorbed in rats' intestine.

The medical English level is quite important to the future development ongoing study of medical students,so medical college teachers should take the advantages of Internet and multimedia technology to improve teaching effects.In the present article,we have discussed how to use internet source and multimedia technology to improve the teaching effects of medical English,and pointed out that Internet and multimedia not only enriches the teaching sources and teaching methods,but also creates a better teaching situation and improves the student learning interests,which will bring to good teaching results.

Extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathway, which was the first cell signal transduction pathway to be discovered, consisted of Ras, Raf, MEK1/2 and ERK1/2. After the activation of ERK1/2 pathway, extracellular signals can be transmitted from the cell membrane to the nucleus. It was involved in many physiological and pathological functions of cells, such as growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and etc. It was also related to the onset of many diseases, which included multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The activation of ERK1/2 pathway can induce the activation of astrocyte, MG, T cell and macrophage, which released a variety of inflammatory cytokines. It caused myelin damage which induced MS/EAE onset. A number of studies indicated that inhibiting ERK1/2 pathway can reduce the releasing of inflammatory cytokines and myelin damage for MS/EAE alleviation. It provided an important target for the development of MS treatment medication.

Objective To introduce a new method that abdominal puncture is used in ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Methods A retrospective review of the clinical materials of 49 patients who underwent improving ventriculoperitoneal shunt.Results After operations, all the patients had fellow-up survey that the rates of infection and obstruction are both 4.08%. They are lower than that of the lectures. Conclusion It has many advantages that abdominal puncture taken the place of incision of abdominal cavity. They are less wounded, less infection, less abdominal complication , not easy to be packed by the omentum and so on.

Objective To study and construct related models of medical evacuation of the wounded during earthquake relief.Methods Based on the Agent model,the boundary of the medical evacuation system for the wounded was determined and the Agent model system was established according to the medical service theory about medical evacuation of the wounded during earthquake relief.Using Agent-based modeling,the structure,attribute,related behavior and function of key Agent models were analyzed and the model structure was presented.Results and Conclusion The Agent model system including 11 Agent models is divided into business Agent modeling,assistant Agent modeling and environment Agent modeling.Six key models are built,and the interaction and coordination mechanisms of various types Agent models are established.

Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells therapy plays an important role in cancer adjuvant treatment.Researches show that the number of peripheral blood immunocytes will change if patients with cancer accept the treatment of CIK cells.The changes of T cell subsets,regulatory T cells are relatively obvious,which may be one of the standards that can evaluate the curative effect of CIK cells.

BACKGROUND:Anticancer drug deguelin delays the embryonic development of zebrafish, but its exact mechanism is not yet clear.
OBJECTIVE:To explore expression differences in genes and signaling pathways in deguelin-treated zebrafish embryos.
METHODS:Zebrafish embryos were harvested from zebrafish fed according to the Zebrafish Book. Zebrafish embryos at 2-cel stage were selected and divided into two groups:control group treated with dimethyl sulfoxide incubator liquid, and experimental group treated with 0.6μmol/L deguelin. Total RNA was extracted from the two groups at sphere stage. Then, gene chip technique was used to detect differential y expressed genes in the deguelin-treated zebrafish embryos. Real-time quantitative PCR was employed to validate microarray cluster analysis and pathway analysis to explore the mechanism of action of deguelin.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Chip results showed that 407 genes were upregulated more than three times and 461 genes were downregulated more than three times after deguelin treatment. PCR validation results were consistent with those of the chip. Fourteen pathways were identified by KEGG pathway analysis. Deguelin may play an important role by intervening cel metabolism growth and differentiation.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign epithelial tumor of odontogenic origin. CEOT is a benign but a locally infiltrative tumor. CEOT has two clinical variants: intraosseous (central) CEOT and extraosseous (peripheral) CEOT. The peripheral type is rare. In this paper, we report two cases of CEOT. The diagnoses of the cases were verified by histopathology. This study aims to explore the clinical and imaging appearances of CEOT and improve the understanding of the disease.

Objective To evaluate effects of trichostain A (TSA) on cell proliferation, cell cycles, apoptosis and invasiveness of multiple myeloma cell line U266; as well as active changes of methylation regulating proteins including DNA methyl-transferase(DNMTs), methyl-binding domain (MBD) proteins: MBD2 and MeCP2 after treated with TSA. Methods U266 cells were treated with different concentrations of TSA for 12, 24, 48 and 60 h. The proliferation activity of U266 cells was detected by MTT and the IC50 of 24 h was calculated. After U266 cells were treated with IC50, cell cycles were check out by dying with PI. mRNA of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2), bc1-2, bcl-xl and methylation regulating proteins (DNMTs, MBD2 and MeCP2) were detected by real-time PCR. FCM and Western blotting were used to measure expressions of MMP-2 and MBD2. Results MTT results revealed TSA inhibited proliferation of U266 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner and the IC50 of 24 h was 0.07 μmol/L FCM analysis showed that TSA could arrest the cell cycle in G0/G1 and the proliferation index (PI) in U266 cells [(49.90 0.39)%]were significantly different after exposed to TSA (0.7 μmnol/L for 24h compared with that in the control cells[(55.78 0.49)%](P <0.01). After treated by TSA, the 2-△△Ct of MMP-2, bcl-2 and bcl-xl were 0.71 0.06, 5.04 0.92 and 2.95 0.35, respectively. There were great changes on mRNA of DNMT, MBD2 and MeCP2. TSA could reverse the transcription of DNMT, MBD2 and MeCP2. Conclusion TSA can arrest the U266 cell cycle in GVG, to prevent its proliferation and promote apoptosis, which maybe greatly connect with the changes of the methylation regulating proteins.
