AIM To investigate the possible role of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (??m) and caspase 3 in arsenic trioxide(As 2O 3)-induced apoptosis of cancer cells. METHOD Namalwa, SGC7901 and Bcap37 cell lines were used as in vitro models. Apoptosis was confirmed by sub-G 1 cells content as well as phosphatidylserine(PS) externalization. The ??m was detected on flow cytometry through double staining of Rhodamine 123(Rh123) and popidium iodide(PI). In addition, the effect of DEVD-CHO, a selective inhibitor of Caspase 3, on As 2O 3-induced apoptosis was studied. RESULT The As 2O 3-induced apoptosis closely associated with the externalization of the ??m and the activation of Caspase 3. As 2O 3 induced cells necrosis when Caspase 3 was inhibited. CONCLUSION As 2O 3 may selectively activates Caspase 3 after it induces externalization of ??m, which causes cancer cells apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability between ganciclovir-chitosan eye drops and ganciclovir eye drops in rabbit eyes. METHODS: Japan big-eared rabbits were randomly assigned to the receive 50 ?L ganciclovir-chitosan eye drops (experiment group) or ganciclovir eye drops (control group) in both eyes. The rabbit tears,corneas and aqueous humor were collected at different time for the determination of drug concentration by RP-HPLC. The pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated as well. RESULTS: In the experimenal group,the half-life(t1/2) in tears,corneas and aqueous humor were 15.41,45.21,59.43 minutes,respectively versus 16.22,32.55,and 48.53 minutes in the control group. The Cmax were 2.03 ?g?mL-1 and 1.22 ?g?mL-1,respectively. In the experimental group,the AUC0→240 in tears,corneas and aqueous humor were 1.66,1.89,and 2.77 times those in control group. CONCLUSION: The bioavailability of ganciclovir-chitosan eye drops was significantly higher than that of ganciclovir eye drops.

Objective Our study is to observe the effects of conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on hemorheology in postmenopausal women in order to evaluate mechanism responsible for the increase in the incidence of cardiovascular disease after menopause and also to provide proper instruction and advice of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for postmenopausal women Methods 60 healthy postmenopausal women were assigned to 3 groups randomly, 20 cases in each group Group A: CEE 0 625 mg/d+MPA 2 mg/d+calcium carbonate co. (Ca D) 600 mg/d Group B: CEE 0 3 mg/d+MPA 2 mg/d+Ca D 600 mg/d Group C: Ca D 600 mg/d only served as control Measurements of hemorheological parameters were performed before and 6 months after treatment Results After 6 months of HRT, group A: blood viscosity under the shear rate of 94 5 s -1 dropped from (5 23? 0 37) mPa?s to (5 03? 0 43) mPa?s ( P 0 05) Conclusion Both different dosages of CEE have favor effects on blood viscosity and erythrocyte deformabillity, which could play the role in preventing cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women

The kinase domain of receptor tyrosine kinase(RTK) ErbB2 was expressed fused with GFP in Pichia pastoris. Recombinant expression vector pPIC3.5K was constructed in Escherichia coli TOP10. The right P. pastoris transformants were screened on his-deficient plates and YPD-G418 plates by turns after electroporation of recombinant vector, and then induced by methanol in baffled shake bottles. The strain with highest protein yield was scaled up in a 5 L fermentor. Recombinant protein was analyzed with tyrosine kinase assay after Ni2+ affinity chromatograph. Results showed that the 100 kD recombinant protein with tyrosine kinase activity was successfully expressed in P. pastoris.

Micro RNA (miRNA)were small RNAs encoded by the non-coding RNA genes,which functioned through degrada-tion of mRNA or inhibition of mRNA translation.The miRNA was involved in numerous biological processes,including cell proliferation,apoptosis,development and differentiation.And ectopic expression of miRNA could result in diseases,such as neoplastic hematologic disorder and solid tumor.miR-1 06b-25 cluster contained miR-1 06b,miR-93 and miR-25.These miR-NAs were correlated with the development of tumor.Therefore, we reviewed recent articles on the relationship of miR-1 06b-25 cluster with tumor.
