Objective To investigate influences of paeonol on mRNA expression and function of drug transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1 in HepG2 cell.Methods Cell counting Kit-8 assay was used to detect the viability of HepG2 cells;Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to measure the expressions of BCRP and SLCO1B1 mRNAs; flow cytometry was applied to determine the transport functions of BCRP and SLCO1B1. Results Paeonol (2-8μg/mL) did not decrease HepG2 cell survival rate, but 16 μg/mL paeonol significantly reduced cell survival rate (P<0.05). Paeonol(2-8μg/mL)significantly induced the mRNA expression and function of drug transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1(P <0.05).Compared with control group, transcription level of paeonol group’s BCRP and SLCO1B1 drug transporters obviously up-regulated, the of translocation efficiency of substrate specificity increased significantly (P <0.05).Conclusion Paeonol can induce drug hepatocellular transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1 gene expression, thereby promote the substrate transport the transmembrane.It is indicated that the drug combination of paeonol and BCRP and SLCO1B1 transporters, there may be a risk of drug interactions.

Background Idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane (IMEM) shows a high incidence and affects visual function of patients.The primary management of IMEM is vitrectomy,but the study on prediction of visual acuity after operation by optical coherence tomography (OCT) is seldom.Objective This study was to evaluate the predicting ability of OCT for preoperative visual outcome for IMEM patients who received vitrectomy.Methods The clinical data of IMEM patients with vitrectomy from March 2009 to May 2013 were retrospectively analyzed in People's Hospital Peking University.Forty-nine eyes of 48 cases were divided into continuous group (19 eyes of 18 cases) and discontinuous group (31 eyes of 31 cases) based on whether the extraretinal layers were intact on OCT,including retinal pigment epithelium (RPE),inner and outer segment of photoreceptors (IS/OS) and external limiting membrane (ELM).Central foveal thickness (CFT) by high-resolution spectral-domain OCT and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (LogMAR) before surgery and 12 weeks after surgery were recorded and compared between the two groups,and the correlations of shift of CFT with the shift of LogMAR vision was analyzed by unitary linear regression to evaluate the value of OCT in predicting postoperative vision.Writen informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical operation.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before surgery.Results In 12 weeks after operation,reflective strips of RPE layer,IS/OS and ELM layer were intact in 18 eyes of the continuous group after vitrectomy.The number of eyes with discontinuous strip in RPE layer decreased to 1 eye after operation from 6 eyes before operation,and the number of eyes with IS/OS reflective strip discontinue decreased to 19 eyes after operation from 29 eyes before operation,and that with ELM layer discontinue decreased to 15 eyes after operation from before operation in the discontinuous group.The improvement of LogMAR BCVA was increased with the decline of CFT values with a negative correlation between them (R2 =0.298,B =0.001,P =0.000),and postoperative LogMAR visual acuity improved 1 line whenever CFT reduced by 100 μm.LogMAR BCVA was 0.4±0.19 before surgery and 0.36±0.21after surgery in the continuous group,showing a insignificant difference between them (t =0.876,P=0.393).In the discontinuous group,the postoperative IogMAR BCVA was significantly higher after operation (0.46±0.26) than 0.82 ±0.41 after operation (t =6.206,P =0.000).The increase value of LogMAR after vitrectomy was 0.3 in the discontinuous group,which was superior to 0.0 of the continuous group.Conclusions The continuity of extraretinal layers and CFT by OCT are closely associated with the improvement of vision after vitrectomy in the eyes with IMEM.Postoperative vision is better in IMEM eye with continuous retinal reflective strips before operation,and majority of IMEM eyes can improve vision after operation.Preoperative OCT seems to be an important diagnostic tool for the selection of patients who benefit or not from surgery to certain extent.

BACKGROUND:Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) can enhance fibroblast proliferation and col agen deposition, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can improve blood perfusion and metabolic level of pathological tissues. Additional y, both of them can boost the alkaline phosphatase activity under given conditions. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of bFGF combined with VEGF on the periodontal ligament fibroblast proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity in rats. METHODS:Rat periodontal ligament fibroblasts were cultured in vitro, its embryonic origin was identified and passage 4 cel s were used for the fol owing experiments. Effects of bFGF and VEGF with different concentrations on the rat periodontal ligament fibroblast proliferation were detected to determine the minimum and maximum effective concentrations. Cel s were divided into five groups:group A (control group) with DMEM containing 2%fetal bovine serum;group B as maximum effective concentration of VEGF group;group C as maximum effective concentration of bFGF;group D as minimum effective concentration of bFGF combined with minimum effective concentration of VEGF group;group E as maximum effective concentration of bFGF combined with maximum effective concentration of VEGF group. At 3, 7 and 14 days, the alkaline phosphatase activity in each group was detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Rat periodontal ligament fibroblasts derived from the mesoderm grew wel . Rat periodontal ligament fibroblast proliferation was increased with the VEGF and bFGF concentration increasing (P<0.01). The maximum and minimum effective concentrations of VEGF were 100 and 10μg/L, and the maximum and minimum effective concentrations of bFGF were 10 and 0.1μg/L. The absorbance values in the groups D and E were higher than those in the group A. The absorbance values of the group D were significantly lower than those of the group E at 3 and 7 days (P<0.05), but did not significantly differ at 14 days (P>0.05). To conclude, the combination use of the maximum effective concentration of VEGF and bFGF can play a significant synergistic effect on the alkaline phosphatase activity at a given time, but the minimum and maximum effective concentrations show no significant differences if not in the given time, which may be related to the time-effectiveness of these two factors and the receptors of periodontal ligament cel s.

The recombinant plasmids pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 were transfected into Hela cells and cisplatin was added with different concentrations in order to study the inhibitory effects of Livin gene, increase the apoptosis induced by cisplatin, and detect the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and survivin genes. The pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 were transfected into Hela cells, and the expression levels of Livin, Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and survivin genes were detected by using fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR. Then cisplatin at different concentrations (3.0, 6.0 and 9.9 microg/mL) was added into the transfected Hela cells, and 24, and 48 h later, the apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry. After transfection of pGenesil-1-BIRC71 and pGenesil-1-BIRC72 into Hela cells, the expression level of Livin gene was obviously reduced, and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in transfection group as compared with control group (P<0.05). Cisplatin could increase the apoptosis rate in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After cisplatin was added, the expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA were reduced, and those of Bax, caspase-3, and survivin mRNA were increased in transfection group as compared with those in control group (P<0.05). It was concluded that shRNA expression vector targeting Livin gene could inhibit the expression of Livin gene in Hela cells and enhance the apoptosis induced by cisplatin, which was related to the decreased expression of Bcl-2 and activation of Bax and caspase-3. Survivin might play an important role as an antagonist in the process of apoptosis induction.

ObjectiveTo search the appropriate experimental conditions for using green fluores-cent protein (GFP) as a reporter gene in tumor gene therapy. Methods The plasmids carrying mu-tated GFP gene were transfected into the eukaryotic cells to observe transient gene expression. Thesestudies were conducted to 1. directly determine GFP expression and express stability in the COS- 7cells, 2. compare the transfection efficiency of two plasmids pcDNA3 - EGFP, pSVKa - S65T with dif-ferent promoters in different tumor cell lines, 3. determine two genes expression in a single cell usingLacZ cotransfected with GFP by FACS. ResultsFluorescence could be detected in intact viable cellsunder different sets of conditions. The expression of GFP might last two weeks or more and the ex-pressed fluorescence was stable. The transfection rate of pcDNA3 - EGFP expressed was different inthree tumor cell lines examined. But pSVK3 - GFP expressed similarly in four tumor cell lines exam-ined. FACS showed the probability of two genes entering a single cell is above >85% at the ratio 1:4.ConclusionThe above data indicate that the GFP can be visualized continuously and directly for geneexpression in living cells. GFP may also be used for quicklly selecting cells carrying a target gene.

Objective To discuss the relationship between C-reactive protein and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome. Methods C-reactive protein of 60 acute coronary syndrome patients was evaluated. The individuals were divided into two groups:One group with higher CRP level and another group with normal CRP level. The following-up duration was 6 months. After correct therapy, the morbidity of re-angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, re-infarction and cardiac death was compared. Results The morbidity of re-angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, re-infarction, cardiac death was 46.3%(19/41), 43.9%(18/41),9.76%(4/41),22.0%(9/41),7.32%(3/41)respectively in higher CRP level group; The morbidity of re-angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, re-infarction was 15.8%(3/19),10.5%(2/19), 5.3%(1/19),5.3%(1/19)respectively in normal CRP group and there was no cardiac death accident. There was significant different between the two groups. Conclusions CRP plays an important role in the onset of acute coronary syndrome, and its level is related with the higher morbidity of re-angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, re-infarction and cardiac death.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of DNA micro-array in early detection of infectious pathogens on burn wounds,including 9 species of potential infectious pathogens namely Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa,etc.Methods Serial dilutions of each targeted bacteria in saline were examined with VITEK automated microbial test systems(routine methods) as well as by DNA micro-array to compare the sensitivity between these two methods.Sixty-two strains of infectious pathogens collected from burn wounds,were identified by routine methods,and they were also subjected to DNA micro-array examination to determine coincidence.One hundred and three examinations of smear specimens collected from fresh burn wounds were performed with both methods synchronously.The difference in positive result of identification of bacteria between routine method and micro-array technology in sensitivity and specificity was compared.Results The identification of bacteria by micro-array was more convenient and rapid than that by routine method.A 10 to 100 fold higher sensitivity was found in bacterial identification by DNA micro-array than by routine methods.The positive and negative coincidence of bacterial identification was 100% between these two methods.All the strains found by the routine methods were successfully identified by DNA micro-array.In a few instances,more strains of bacteria were detected with micro-anay method than rowtine method.Conclusion The extremely high coincidence and sensitivity of micro-array method with the routine method was confirmed.The detection of bacteria from burn wounds and other contaminated or infected wounds using micro-array method has a bright prospect though some improvements are still necessary.
