Objective To investigate the relationship of the metastasis-associated genes and its copy numbers variation in the highly metastatic human epithelial ovarian cancer cell line HO-8910PM. Methods The differentially expressed genes and its copy number variation between HO-8910PM cell line and normal ovarian tissues was detected by human genome UI33A 2.0 gene chip and human mapping 10K array 2.0 gene chip, and the data was analyzed by bioinformatics. Some of metastasis-associated genes were validated the results of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and cDNA chips by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and real-time quantitative PCR. Results Integrate analysis of two gene chips data showed that there were 385 differentially expressed genes in the same and 379 SNP positional point (6 of them, included 2 genes) between HO-8910PM cell line and normal ovarian tissues, these copy number amplification of 379 SNP positional point of chromosome were ≥3, which had 240, deletion ≤ 1 had 139. Chromosome location analysis showed that there were 385 differentially expressed genes located at all chromosomes, and 261 of them ( 67.8%, 261/385 ) located at 10 chromosomes, included that 34 (8.8% ), 33 ( 8.6% ), 28 (7.3%), 27 (7.0%), 25 (6.5%), 24 (6.2%) of them located at chromosome 3, 2, 9, 10, 1 and 11 respectively, and 23 (6.0%) of them at chromosome 6 and 12 each, 22 (5.7%) of them at chromosome 4 and 5 each. For the function of differentially expressed genes, the results showed that 99 (25.7% ) genes belonged to the family of enzymes and their regulators, 54 ( 14.0% ) genes associated with signal transduction, 50 (13.0%) genes associated with nucleic acid binding, and 36 (9.4%) genes associated with protein binding. Conclusion We have demonstrated that there are 4 kinds of differentially expressed genes related to metastasis of ovarian cancer, which belonged to the families enzyme and its regulator, nucleic acid binding, signal transduction and protein binding, and located at chromosome 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Objective To investigate the apoptosis inducing effects of oridonin on leukemic THP-1 cells and its mechanisms of action. Methods THP-1 cells in culture medium in vitro were given different concentrations of oridonin (16～56 μmol/L) for 24, 48 and 72 h. The inhibitory rate of the cells were measured by MTT assay, apoptotic morphology was observed by Hoechst 33258 staining, and Annexin V/PI staining was used to detect cell apoptosis by flow cytometry (FCM). Caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) expression were detected by Western blotting. Results Oridonin (over 32 μmol/L) could inhibit the growth of THP-1 cells and cause apoptosis remarkably, the suppression was both in time-and dose-dependentmanner. Marked morphological changes of cell apoptosis such as condensation of chromatin was clearly observed by Hoechst 33258 staining, and Annexin V/PI staining showed that apoptotic cells gradually increased after the cells treated with oridinon. Western blotting showed cleavage of the caspase-3 zymogen protein (32×103), with the appearance of its 20×103 subunit, and a cleaved 89×103 fragment of 116×103 PARP was also found. Conclusion Oridonin can inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in THP-1 cells via activation of caspase-3. The results indicated that oridonin might be an important potential anti-leukemia reagent.

Objective To compare arthroscopic double-pulley knotless suture bridge with conven tional arthroscopic suture bridge in repair of rotator cuff tear.Methods From May 2013 to May 2015,70patients with rotator cuff tear were repaired at our department.They were 38 males and 32 females,with a mean age of 53.7 years.They were randomized into 2 equal groups to receive repair either using arthroscopic double-pulley knotless suture bridge (the experimental group) or using conventional arthroscopic suture bridge (the control group).The 2 groups were compared postoperatively in terms of VAS (visual analogue scale),Constant,ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons) and UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) scores,shoulder range of motion,and rotator cuff retear.Results The 2 groups were compatible with no significant differences in gender,age,laterality,tear type,or preoperative function or range of motion of the shoulder joint (P ＞ 0.05).At 12 months postoperatively,the VAS,Constant,ASES and UCLA scores and shoulder range of motion in the experimental group were respectively 1.1 ± 1.3,86.0 ±8.9,13.3 ± 0.8,32.0 ± 2.9,156.8° ± 15.0° and 55.9° ± 5.8°,significantly improved than the preoperative values (P ＜0.05).At 12 months postoperatively,the VAS,Constant,ASES and UCLA scores and shoulder range of motion in the control group were respectively 1.3 ± 1.3,86.6 ±4.2,13.1 ± 1.0,31.1 ±2.6,153.3°±10.0° and 55.7° ± 5.1 °,significantly improved than the preoperative values (P ＜ 0.05).At 12 months postoperatively,there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in VAS,Constant,ASES or UCLA scores or shoulder range of motion (P ＞ O.05).No case of rotator cuff retear occurred in the experimental group while 5 cases were observed in the control group,showing a significant difference (0 versus 14.3％) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with conventional arthroscopic suture bridge,arthroscopic double-pulley knotless suture bridge presents no significant differences in range of motion or function of the shoulder joint in repair of rotator cuff tear.However,the latter may lead to a lower incidence of rotator cuff retear and,additionally,is less skillfully demanding.

Herb Genome Program (HerbGP) includes a series of projects on whole genome sequencing (WGS) and post-genomics research of medicinal plants with unique secondary metabolism pathways or/and those of great medical and pharmaceutical importance. In this paper, we systematically discussed the strategy of HerbGP, from species selection, whole-genome sequencing, assembly and bioinformatics analysis, to postgenomics research. HerbGP will push study on Chinese traditional medicines into the front field of life science, by selecting a series of plants with unique secondary metabolism pathways as models and introducing "omics" methods into the research of these medicinal plants. HerbGP will provide great opportunities for China to be the leader in the basic research field of traditional Chinese medicine. HerbGP shall also have significant impacts on the R&D of natural medicines and the development of medicinal farming by analysis of secondary metabolic pathways and selection of cultivars with good agricultural traits.

Objective To explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome(MS) and corrected QT(QTc) interval prolongation.Methods A total of 1 260 participants having electrocardiogram examinations,aged over 18 years old from June 2015 to June 2016 were included and divided into the MS group and non-MS group.QTc was calculated according to the Bazett formula.The Logistic regression model was established for exploring the association between MS and QTc.Results There were 63 cases of QTc interval prolongation in the MS group,however,40 cases in the non-MS group(P＜0.01).In the unadjusted model,MS was a risk factor of QTc interval prolongation[OR =6.36,95 ％ CI(2.34,8.67),P＜ 0.01].After further adjusting confounders,MS was still correlated with QTc interval prolongation[OR =4.11,95 ％ CI(2.09,7.13,P＜ 0.01].In the study of the relationship between the MS groups with QTc interval prolongation,after adjusting confoundingfactors,only abdominal obesity[OR=2.76,95％ CI(1.43,7.56),P＜0.01] and hypertriglyceridemia[OR=1.75,95％CI(1.22,4.31),P=0.013)] were closely correlated with QTc interval prolongation.Conclusion MS is an independent risk factor of QTc interval prolongation.It is especially important to strengthen the management of blood lipid and abdominal circumference.

Objective To identify new microsatellite loci from genome sequence database for the study of poly-morphicsm of Schistosoma japonicum. Methods Schistosoma japonicum isolates were obtained from seven endemic sites in China: Tongling and Guichi counties of Anhui Province, Duchang county of Jiangxi Province, Changde and Yueyang Cities of Hunan Province, Shashi City of Hubei Province, Xichang City of Sichuan Province. In order to study the genetic variance, genomic DNAs of 96 individual adult worms were screened against 17 new Schistosoma japonicum microsatellites and the raw data were analyzed by GenMapper 4.0. Furthermore, the varieties of alleles were inverstigated using GenAlEx 6 and genetic distances within a subpopulation (GenClone) and among populations(UPGMA, MEGA 3.1) were analyzed. Results High levels of polymorphism were found between and within population samples, and significant genetic diversity was observed among the seven subpopulations.Within Jiangxi population, most genetic distances (17 loci) among samples range from 25 to 32, indicating a significant genetic diversity. There are three clusters among the seven populations: Jiangxi, Tonglin, Shashi and Changde population, with the genetics distances ranging from 0.017 8 to 0.036 3; Guichi and Yueyang population belong to another cluster, with the genetic distance of 0.024 7; However, Xichang population is an unique group. Its genetic distances to other populations are notable with a range from 0.019 2 to 0.069 3. Conclusion The 17 new polymorphic microsatellites identified may be used as suitable markers for the study on population genetics of Schistosoma japonicum and the genetic variance of the worms seems to be complicated.
