Objective To investigate the effect of glutaminase 1(GLS1)specific inhibitor BPTES[bis-2-（5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl）ethyl sulfide]on the liver fibrosis in the mouse model of liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4).Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with olive oil(control group),10%CCl4(10 μL/g,model group)or 10% CCl4(10 μL/g)+ BPTES(10 mg/kg,treatment group),with 10 mice in each group,two doses a week for four weeks to establish liver fibrosis model. Collagen deposition in mouse liver tissue was observed by Sirius red staining. The expression levels of actin alpha 2(Acta2),collagen typeⅠalpha 1(Col1a1)GLS1 and GLS1 protein were detected by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with the control group,the liver tissue of mice in the model group was generally enlarged,the surface was not smooth and granular,and the ratio of liver mass to tibia length significantly increased(t = 2. 979,P < 0. 05);The Sirius red positive area of collagen deposition increased signifi-cantly in the liver tissue of mice in the model group(t = 7. 661,P < 0. 01),the relative expression levels of Acta2 and Col1a1 significantly increased(t = 4. 335 and 5. 319,respectively,each P < 0. 01),and the mRNA and protein levels of GLS1 significantly increased(t = 5. 319 and 9. 725,respectively,each P < 0. 01). However,compared with the model group,the BPTES treatment group had a reduction in liver mass,a significant reduction in the Sirius red positive area of collagen deposition in liver tissue(t = 7. 427,P < 0. 01),and a significant reduction in the relative expressions of Atca2 and Col1a1(t = 3. 713 and 2. 628,respectively,each P < 0. 05).Conclusion Inhibition of GLS1activity can significantly improve the degree of liver fibrosis induced by CCl4,providing a new idea for the treatment of liver fibrosis.

Objective To explore the effect of progesterone on the rate of neuronal apoptosis and nitric oxide(NO) level in the cortex and hippocampus tissue of newborn rats with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods Thirty 7-day-old neonatal rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham-operated group,hypoxic-ischemic(HI) group and pretreatment group.Rats in HI group and pretreatment group were subjected to left common carotid artery ligation,then were exposed to 80 mL/L oxygen and 920 mL/L nitrogen gas in 37 ℃ closed container for up to 2.5 h to establish HIE model.Progesterone was injected intraperitoneally into rats in the pretreatment group respectively for 30 minutes before hypoxia,and solution was injected into the sham-operated group and HI group.All rats were killed at 24 h after operation.The neuron apoptosis was identified and analyzed by flow cytometry.Nitrate/nitrite was assayed to represent nitric oxide content of brain tissues.Results The ratio of neuronal apoptosis and NO contents in cortex and hippocampus tissue in HI group [(10.09?0.36)%,(12.32?0.28)%,(51.36?9.71) ?mol/L,(52.34?4.26) ?mol/L] were significantly higher than those in sham-operated group [(2.49?0.23)%,(2.58?0.26)%,(18.16?6.24) ?mol/L,(19.28?3.58) ?mol/L)](P_a

This paper studied the relationship between apolipoprotein E isoforms and hyperlipidemia among 92 cases of diabetes mellitus, 174 cases with impaired glucose tolerance and 124 sex-age-matched controls. The results demonstrated that the patients with abnormal glucose tolerance had higher frequency of E2/3 isoforms and lower frequency of E, / , in com parison with controls. Hyperlipoproteinemia were mainly related to hyperglycemia but the Apo E isoforms which ex pressed different alleles also associated with hyperlipoproteinemia.

Retinoblastoma(RB) is the most common infant malignant tumor of eye.It seriously affects the life quality and life span.The rapid development of biological technology allows some new breakthroughs in the basic and clinical researches of RB.Current researches focus on its etiology and pathogenesis,and the ultimate aim is to guide clinical prevention,detection and management.Some literature revealed and summarized the histological source of RB,mutation detection of Rb gene,hereditary clue of RB susceptibility,and gene-therapy of RB.Gene therapy of RB is a new treating approach to RB in recent years,and its development brings a chance for achieving the goal of curing RB and improving patient prognosis.The research progress of RB is reviewed here.

Principles of constructing medical information technology curriculum system were pro-posed revolving round the core problem of how to combine needs of developing life science with culturing talents who can independently apply information technology knowledge in studying and researching. De-tailed implementing measures for constructing medical information technology curriculum system were summarized after repeated practical teaching. Longitudinal classification based on discipline and trans-verse classification based on teaching level were combined to construct the whole standard course. Finally, courses were appropriately distributed according to detailed culturing objectives for students in medical universities and colleges,thus a suitable medical information technology curriculum system in medical universities and colleges was formed.

Objective To create a sterilized condition in field operation and the daily grind avoiding the intercross contamination between the experimentation and outside. Methods The air in the experimentation was filtrated by primary and advanced filter. High intense ultraviolet was used to sterilize the air, and negative compression was kept in the experiment condition. Results Hyperpurificatory biosafety cabinet guaranteed the sterilization condition in field operation and the daily grind, avoiding the intercross contamination. Conclusion Hyperpurificatory biosafety cabinet can be used in medical treatment, pharmacy, food industry, electrical industry, instrumentation, bioengineering, scientific tests, especially biology species identification in biological warfare.

According to the medical support missions of our hospital,a new management mode for medical support equipment is proposed including both warehouse management and daily supervision. This kind of management bases itself on peace time and focuses on war time.

Objective:To study the role of adenoviral-mediated PTEN gene transfection in reversing drug resistance of trastuzumab-resistant human breast cancer.Methods:Recombinant adenoviruses carrying PTEN gene(AdPTEN) were constructed and transfected into trastuzumab-resistant human breast cancer cell line BT474.Proliferation and apoptosis of BT474 cells treated with AdPTEN and trastuzumab were measured by MTT assay and FCM.Time course of BT474 cells apoptosis induced by AdPTEN was analyzed by detection of DNA fragmentation.Western blotting was employed to measure phosphorylated-Akt expression levels in AdPTEN treated BT474 cells.The nude mice model of BT474 cells was employed to observe the effects of AdPTEN and trastuzumab on trastuzumab-resistant human breast cancer in vivo.The expression of PTEN gene,cancer cells apoptosis and ultrastructural changes were evaluated after the mice were sacrificed.Results:We successfully constructed recombinant AdPTEN;and the titer of the recombinant adenovirus was about 4.2?1011TCID50/ml.PTEN gene expression was identified by PCR,RT-PCR and Western blotting assay.Combinatorial AdPTEN and trastuzumab significantly suppressed the proliferation of BT474 cells and induced the apoptosis.The percentage of apopotosis cells treated with AdPTEN was(20.7?5.82)%,companied by cells cycle arrest in G1 phrase(P
