This article reviewed information related to the apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor in women. Apoptosis is related to the response and resistance to treatment in breast cancer. Here we summarized and integrated the data on apoptosis and its role in the development, prognosis, and treatment of breast cancer. Further study on apoptosis in breast cancer can help find more candidates for predictors and indices of response. Such study will also develop treatment regimens that are tailored to individual tumors and thereby maximize survival.

Objective: To study the denture base adaptation in fl uenced by technical factors. Methods: Thirty six maxilla ry denture bases were fabricated by different conditions of monomer content ,res in stage, polymerization temperature, mixing and cooling temperature conditions respectively. The gap between stone cast and acrylic resin base was measured wi th a stereoscopic microscope with a precision of 0.01 mm at five referential pos itions in each section. The data were submitted to t test. Resul ts: There was statistical significant difference ( P

Objective Effect of artemisinin and its derivatives on multi-drug resistance of tumor cells. Method The inhibition of cell proliferation and RI (reversal index) were determined by MTT method. Results The inhibitory effect of dihydroartemisinin and artemisunate on the proliferation of tumor cell is stronger than that of artemisinin. Artemisinin could partly improve KBv200 cell sensitivity to VCR in different concentrations. Conclusion Artemisunate and dihydroartemisinin effectively inhibited the proliferation of KBv200. Artemisinin could partly improve KBv200 cells sensitivity to chemotherapy medicine.

Identification and validation of a new target is one of the most important steps for new antituberculosis (TB) drug discovery. Researches have shown that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) encodes 20 CYP450 enzymes which play important roles in the synthesis and metabolism of lipid, cholesterol utilization, and the electron transport of respiratory chain in Mtb. With the critical roles within the organism as well as the protein structures of six Mtb CYP450 enzymes being clarified, some of them have been highlighted as potential anti-tuberculosis targets. In this paper, the phylogenetic analysis, the structural features, and the enzymatic functions of Mtb CYPs, as well as the mechanism of interactions with selective inhibitors such as azole antifungal agents for the CYPs have been reviewed and summarized. The druggability of the CYPs has also been analyzed for their further utility as targets in high throughput screening and rational design of more selective inhibitors.

Blood hypercoagulabale state of malignant tumor was the pathological basis of tumor blood stagnation,which led to tumor proliferation and metastasis and also influenced the therapeutic effect and prognosis of tumor.Based on knowledge of thrombin and tissue factor system,We discussed the mechanism blood hypercoagulabale leading to tumor proliferation and metastasis,and the influence of traditional Chinese drugs of activating blood circulation to dissipate blood smsis on tunlor proliferation and metastasis.We concluded that traditional Chinese drugs have sound effects on prevention and treatment of tumor proliferation and metastasis.

Objective To investigate the level of soluble interleukin 7 receptor (sIL-7R) in serum of lupus nephritis(LN)patients and evaluate its clinical significance. Methods sIL-7R level in serum of LN patients and healthy controls were measured by ELISA , while total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 of LN patients were measured by BN ProSpec. The level of sIL-7R correlation with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 were analyzed respectively. Results The levelof sIL-7R was higher in serum of LN patients than healthy controls (P < 0.01). Moreover, its expression in serum was increased in LN patients in active stage than in LN patients in stable stage (P < 0.05). The level of sIL-7R was positively assosicated with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein(P < 0.01, P < 0.05) and negatively with complement C3 (P < 0.05). Conclusion The level of sIL-7R is upregulated in serum in LN patients and correlated with disease activity and progression, so it may be expected to become a potential marker of disease in prediction.

Objective To evaluate the effects of folic acid supplement on subjects with different 5, 10-methylenetet-rahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genotypes. Methods One hundred and eleven healthy women were divided into CC, CT and TT groups according to their MTHFR C677T genotypes. In each group subjects were randomly sub-divided into interven-tion (400 μg/d folic acid supplement) and control (usual diet) groups. The plasma folate, red blood cell (RBC) folate and plasma homocysteine (Hcy) concentration were measured at baseline and two months after intervention. Results The plasma folate was lower and the plasma Hcy was higher in the TT genotype than those in CC or CT genotypes (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01). After two months of intervention, the levels of plasma folate, RBC folate concentration increased while the plasma Hcy concen-tration decreased in all three intervention groups. Although the plasma folate concentration increased the most obvious in TT genotype than that of CC and CT genotypes, P＜0.05), the plasma Hcy concentration decreased the most obvious in TT geno-type than that of CT genotype, P＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the MTHFR TT genotype was a risk factor of high Hcy concentration, which was 8.078 times compared with that of CC genotype (P＜0.05). Conclusion Folic acid sup-plement can significantly increase plasma folate and red cell folate concentration, and reduce plasma Hcy concentration in all MTHFR genotypes. TT genotype was the most dangerous in disorder of folic metabolic and high Hcy concentration. However, low-dose folic acid supplement cannot reduce the risk of high Hcy concentration.

Objective:To investigate the effects of bezafibrate (BF) on the activation,proliferation and differentiation of CD4+T cells from primary biliary cirrhosis ( PBC) patients and to elucidate the mechanisms for the immunosuppressive effects of BF and to further provide experience basis for BF target therapy PBC.Methods:PBMCs were isolated from PBC patients then CD 4+T cells were selected by MACS, and stimulated with anti-CD3, anti-CD28, in the presence of different concentration of BF.The cytokines were measured by ELISA,and the activation,proliferation and differentiation of CD4+T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:(1) BF could inhibit the activation of CD 4+T cells in PBC patients.(2) BF could inhibit the proliferation of CD 4+T cells in PBC patients in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).(3)BF could down-regulation IFN-γand IL-17 production of CD4+T cells in a dose-dependent manner ( P<0.05 ).Conclusion: BF could inhibit immune responses of PBC patients by suppressing CD 4+T cells activation;proliferation and cytokine production.

Animal medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine with a long application history in China. Systematically understanding the history of the development of animal medicine is of great significance to scientific protection and rational use of animal medicine resources. It has certain guiding significance to protection of wild resources, exploitation of new substitutes, standardization and summary of artificial breeding, and artificial reproduction technology. Taking the development of bezoar as an example, this article expounded the following four aspects:the development history of animal medicine, national animal protection, technical development, and prospect forecast by summarizing the Chinese ancient medical books and consulting the relevant laws and regulations. The entire above are about to offer new ideas for the sustainable development, the development of new medicine resources, and the development of animal medicine related preparation product.
