This study was to improve the way for selecting ura5 mutants of Cryptoccocus neoformans Cap59 capsule-deficient strains.They were induced by Diethyl Sulfate. Ura5 mutants were screened by 5-fluoroorotic acid counter selection method. Using the new method, we obtained two ura5 mutants of Cryptoccocus neoformans Cap59 capsule-deficient strain.A easy method that was used to screen ura5 mutants of Cryptoccocus neoformans has been established.

Objective:To explore the influence of low-iodine diet on the expression of homeobox gene NKX-2.2 in rat cerebrum tissue,and to explain the possible molecular mechanism of cerebrum development retardation caused by low-iodine.Methods:Female Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups:Low-iodine group and control group,both fed with low-iodine feed,given the deionized water and KIO3 solution respectively,they were drawn from the 16-day pregnancy,new-born and 20th days old low-iodine and normal age offspring after three months,and detect the content of NKX-2.2 mRNA in the cerebrum tissue by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR techniques.Results:The thyroid hormone levels of low-iodine group in serum were significantly lower than the control group(P

Objective To evaluate 99tcm-DTPA nuclear dynamic imaging in distinguishing the renal occupied disease.Methods A total of 164 in-patients with renal occupied disease who underwent surgery were included.According to the pathological diagnosis,119 patients had malignant tumors,and 45 patients had benign diseases.All patients’ imaging was retrospectively analyzed.Application of 99Tcm-DTPA nuclear dynamic imaging in renal occupied disease was compared with ultrasonography (US),computed tomography (CT),magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),intravenous pyelogram (IVP),and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT.Results The accuracy rates of different imaging methods in distinguishing between renal malignant and benign disease were 99Tcm-DTPA (84 ％,45 ％),US (72 ％,64 ％),CT ( 91％,92 ％),MRI (50 ％,67 ％),IVP (50 ％, 17 ％), respectively.The diagnostic accuracy rate of PET-CT for malignant tumors was 67 ％.The accuracy rates of 99Tcm-DTPA in distinguishing different phases of renal cell carcinoma were statistically significant (x 2 =83.4, P ＜ 0.01), while the accuracy rates in distinguishing renal cyst from renal angiomyolipoma were not statistically different.With the greater diameter, the diagnostic accordance rate is higher (x 2 =16.05,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 99Tcm-DTPA could be used not only to evaluate the renal function quantificationally,but also be helpful to distinguish renal malignant tumor from benign disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA(miRNA)on proliferation of cultured human squamous cell carcinoma of tongue Tca8113 cells.Methods The mimics or inhibitors of miRNA-31 or miRNA-139 were transfected into Tca8113 cells using liposome.Tca8113 cell proliferation was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethyhhiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.Results The absorbance (A) values of control group at 24 h,48 h and 72 h were 0.125±0.002,0.169±0.002 and 0.216±0.004.respectively.The mimics of miRNA-31 increased Tca8113 cell proliferation.with A values inereasing to 0.136±0.001(P<0.001).0.186±0.004(P<0.001)and 0.249±0.012(P<0.01),respectively.The inhibitors of miRNA-139 also inereased A values to 0.148±0.002(P<0.001).0.214±0.002(P<0.001)and 0.250±0.009(P<0.01),respectively.Contrast with these results,the inhibitors of miRNA-31 decreased Tca8113 cell proliferation,with A values decreasing to 0.145 4-0.001 and 0.155±0.011 (both of P<0.001) at 48 h and 72 h,respectively.The mimics of miRNA-139 also decreased A to 0.135±0.001 and 0.170±0.009 (both of P<0.001).Conclusions miRNA-31 and miRNA-139 play an important role in the carcinogenesis of human tongue carcinomas.It may become a new method for the treatment of tongue carcinomas by adjustment the activities of miRNA.

Objective To investigate the anti-proliferation and anti-migration dual effects of aloeemodin on KB cells and its mechanisms.Methods KB cells were treated with 2.5,5,10,20 and 40 μmol/L aloe-emodin.Crystal violet assay was used to determine the long-term growth inhibition of aloeemodin on human oral cancer KB cells.Scratch wound-healing motility assay was used to measure the antimigration effect.The protein kinase Cα and c-myc expression changes in protein levels were detected by Western blotting.Results A durable cell growth inhibitory effect of aloe-emodin on KB cells was found.Treatment of aloe-emodin resulted in the inhibition of cell migration.The protein kinase Cα and c-myc in protein levels were decreased upon treatment with aloe-emodin compared with controls.Condusions The anti-proliferation and anti-migration effects of aloe-emodin on KB cells are associated with the suppression of protein kinase C pathway.
