Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of a nature product derivate oridonin on in?vasion of human lung cancer. Methods Human lung cancer A549 and PC-9 cell lines were treated with oridonin. MTS as?say was used to determine cell proliferation. Transwell assay was used to determine the cell invasion, and adhesion assay to determine the cell adhesion. Flow cytometry was used to determine cell cycle. Western blotting and realtime-PCR were used to detect expression levels of CDK1, mTOR, p53, p21, E-cadherin, CD44,β-catenin, uPA, MMP-2/9, p-AKT and p-Src. The luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the NF-κB promoter activity. Results In vitro proliferation, invasion and adhesion of A549 and PC-9 cells were significantly inhibited by oridonin. The cell cycle was halted by G2/M phase, and ex?pressions of E-cadherin, p53 and p21 were promoted, while expressions of CDK1, mTOR, CD44,β-catenin, uPA, MMP-2/9, p-AKT and p-Src and promoter activity of NF-κB were down-regulated. Conclusion Oridonin is able to inhibit the in vitro invasion of human lung cancer A549 and PC-9 cell lines, which might be correlated with its abilities to regulate the ty?rosine kinase activity.

Mitochondrial quality control is the important mecha-nism that regulates the morphology,quantity and quality of mito-chondrial in cell to maintain cellular homeostasis and thus,cell survival and health.It has been revealed that members of Bcl-2 family are linked to mitochondrial function and integrity.Bcl-2 family proteins are the key regulators of mitochondrial quality control,participating in the signaling pathways regulating the
crosstalk between mitophagy and apoptosis,as well as mitochon-drial fission and fusion.This paper mainly reviews their impact on mitochondrial quality and the major signaling pathways regula-ted by Bcl-2 family proteins.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae and guide the rational use of drug clinically. METHODS We performed statistical analysis of the susceptibility of 62 strains of S.pneumoniae isolated in our hospital from May 2007 to Aug 2008. RESULTS S.pneumonia e could be isolated from various specimens,most of them were isolated from sputum(84.0%).S.pneumoniae could be detected from many hospital wards,but more strains isolated from pediatric(67.8%) and respiratory(11.4%) departments.A total of 67.7% of S.pneumoniae isolates were penicillin non-susceptible,the resistance prevalence to tetracycline was 87.1%,to erythromycin 79.0% and to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 49%,while they were highly susceptible to ofloxacin(90.3%),vancomycin(91.9%),levofloxacin(95.2%),moxifloxacin(96.8%) and rifampicin(98.4%),and more strains showed multi-resistance from penicillin non-susceptible isolates. CONCLUSIONS The resistance to penicillin of S.pneumoniae is serious in our hospital.The tetracycline and erythromycin are not the best ckoice in treating S.pneumoniae infection,and the new fluroquinolones show strong activity against S.pneumoniae.

ObjectiveTo research a way to verify whether the stomach duct is misplaced into the trachea.MethodsThe air pressure of the stomach duct placed in the stomach or in the trachea were measured using a water bottle.ResultsThe air pressure of the stomach duct was (1±0.45)cmH2O When it was put in the stomach, and was (7±2.03)cmH2O when it was put in the trachea(P<0.01).ConclusionsWhen it is impossible to draw out acerbic substances from the stomach to verify whether the stomach duct is placed in the stomach or misplaced in the trachea, measure the air pressure stomach duct by a water bottle can be used as substitute, which is reliable and convenient.

Objective:To study the role of protein kinase C-δin the Dectin-1-Src-Syk-mediated killing of Candida albicans by macrophages and investigate the molecular mechanism of antifungal innate immunity .Methods:Cell surface receptors were accessed by Flow Cytometry.Mouse bone marrow derived macrophages were pre-incubated with different protein kinase inhibitors and then stimulated with C.albicans.The phosphorylation of related proteins was determined by Western blot.The ROS production,phagocytosis and killing of C.albicans by macrophages were measured.Results:Either Src or Syk inhibitor reduced C.albicans induced PKC-δphos-phorylation.PKC-δinhibitor Rottlerin reduced p40phox phosphorylation,ROS production and killing of C.albicans but had no effect on the phagocytosis of C.albicans by macrophages.Conclusion:PKC-δinhibitor Rottlerin reduced the killing of Candida albicans by mac-rophages through the inhibition of NADPH complex activation and ROS production ,suggesting that PKC-δplays an important role in an-tifungal innate immunity.

Objective: To investigate the gene frequency of HLA-B* 5801 in the population of Chinese Minnan region.Methods:In this study,we enrolled 178 patients requiring allopurinol therapy( including 40 patients with gout,89 patients with hyperuricemia and 49 patients with gouty arthritis) and 100 healthy people.We isolated genomic DNA from their blood and screened for HLA-B*5801 with both PCR and gene sequencing.Results:We found 22%patients and 16%healthy people with HLA-B*5801.The frequencies of HLA-B*5801 in patients and healthy people are 0.13 and 0.09,respectively.The results from PCR and gene sequencing were consistent.Conclusion:The frequency of HLA-B*5801 in the population of Chinese Minnan region is relatively high.Therefore,it is necessary to screen for HLA-B*5801 in allopurinol users before taking the medicine.
