AIM:To investigate the effects of cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) over-ex-pression on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells .METHODS:The mRNA expression of CIP2A and cy-clin D1 in the tissues of normal gastric mucosa and gastric polyps was detected by RT -qPCR.The GES-1 cells were divided into control group, Ad-emp group and Ad-CIP2A group.The cell proliferation ability was detected by MTT assay and BrdU assay , and the cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry .The expression of apoptosis-related molecules was determined by Western blot and RT-qPCR.The levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA after GES-1 cells were infec-ted with Ad-emp and Ad-CIP2A.Furthermore, the protein levels of p-Rb, E2F1 and cyclin D1 in the GES-1 cells was de-termined by Western blot after transfected with E2F1 siRNA.RESULTS:The expression of CIP2A and cyclin D1 in ade-nomatous gastric polyps tissues was significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosa tissues , and no significant change of that between hyperplastic gastric polyps tissues and normal gastric mucosa was observed .After transfected with CIP2A, the proliferation ability of GES-1 cells was increased , the cell apoptosis was inhibited , the concentrations of IL-1βand IL-10 was up-regulated and the protein levels of p-Rb, E2F1 and cyclin D1 were increased, while the protein levels of p-Rb, E2F1 and cyclin D1 were significantly decreased after transfected with E2F1 siRNA.CONCLUSION: CIP2A promotes the proliferation and inhibits the apoptosis of GES-1 cells by activating Rb/E2F1.

Object To develop a method for the quantitative determination of salvianolic acid A in rat plasma. Methods HPLC method and Hypersil ODS column (4 6 mm?200 mm, 10 ?m) were used, the mobile phase was acetontrile water (1∶2 65, adjusted pH to 2 5 with formic acid), at a flow rate of 0 9 mL/min, the UV detection wavelength was 285 nm. Cinnamic acid was used as internal standard. Results The recovery of the method was in the range of 98 9%~106 9%, the recovery of the extraction was over 83%. The within day precision and the day to day precision were both lower than 8 4%. Conclusion The method is appropriate for the determination of salvianolic acid A when pharmacokinetics of salvianolic acid A is studied in rat plasma.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe respiratory condition that is characterized by rapidly progressive hypoxemia with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.Despite the improvement of therapeutic methods,the mortality of ARDS is in the range of 40%-50% all over the world.Some studies have shown that a significant number of patients with ARDS had acute cor pulmonale (ACP),and ACP is independently associated with the mortality of patients with ARDS,which has attracted wide attention in recent years.This paper reviewed recent related studies,summarized the prevalence,pathogenesis and diagnostic approaches of ACP in ARDS,especially echocardiography which was considered as a cornerstone for ACP diagnosis,and elucidated the beneficial effects of right ventricular protective ventilatory strategy and prone-positioning on the pulmonary vasculature and right heart,in order to provide a novel idea for the therapy of ACP in ARDS.

PET-CT plays a increasing important role in the treatment of lung cancer.Compared with CT,the advantage of PET-CT is obvious,which is more accuracy when determine a metastasis and identify inflammatory lesions.What's more,on the basis of the accuracy staging,PET-CT change many strategies which were based on traditional image,resulting in improving the treatment effect.While the assessment and prediction of the efficacy by PET-CT also exerted an important influence on the formulation of treatment strategies.

Objective:To construct a recombinant adenoviral vector carrying the specific siRNA of Survivin gene,and to observe its effect on the expression of Survivin gene and on the radiosensitivity of cancer cells in tumor-bearing mice.Methods:The specific siRNA of Survivin gene was designed and synthesized,and a recombinant adenovirus AdEGFP-siRNA was subsequently constructed.SMMC 7721 xenograft models were established with nude mice and were divided into the following 5 groups:siRNA+radiotherapy and siRNA groups(intratumoral injection of AdEGFP-siRNA),siRNA(-)group(injected every other day with AdEGFP-siRNA[-],2?108 pfu/100 ?l per time,total 5 times),pure radiotherapy group and blank control groups(injected with the same volume of normal saline).On day 10,12,14,and 16,the mice in siRNA+radiotherapy and pure radiotherapy groups were given 5 Gy/time radiotherapy.The tumor volumes were measured regularly.The expression of Survivin in tumor tissues was determined immunohistochemically.Results:Adenovirus AdEGFP-siRNA harboring the specific siRNA of Survivin gene and enhanced green fluorescent protein gene(EGFP)was successfully recombined.The growth of SMMC 7721 xenografts in nude mice was inhibited after injecting AdEGFP-siRNA,with the inhibition rate being 56.2%.The inhibition rate in AdEGFP-siRNA therapy + radiotherapy increased to 82.6%.Immunohistochemistry study showed that the specific siRNA markedly silenced the expression of Survivin gene in hepatocarcinoma cells.Conclusion:The specific siRNA can markedly silence Survivin gene and subsequently inhibit the growth of cancer;meanwhile,it can also increase the radiosensitivity of cancer cells so as to improve the treatment effect.
