Objective To explore the relation ship between expression of survivin gene in leukemia cells and its clinical effects, and to study the mechanism of survivin resist-apoptosis function in leukemia.Methods Survivin expression was detected by Western blots analysis and expressions of Fas and Caspase were examined by immunohistochemistry in 18 leukemia patients.Results Thirteen cases in peripheral blood mononuclear cell survivin positive expression was detected in 18 leukemia patients(72.2%), but no survivin expression in 10 normal persons. There were significant difference of survivin expression in ALL/ANLL patients groups and different WBC groups(P

Objective To investigate the potential effects of simvastatin on angiotensin Ⅱ-stimulated secretion and proliferation of adrenocortical carcinoma H295R cells.Methods The H295R cells were divided into control group, Angiotensin Ⅱgroup, simvastatin group and Angiotensin Ⅱ plus simvastatin group.Cortisol in medium was determined by chemiluminescent method , and aldosterone was determined by radioimmunoassay .The mRNA expression of 11 beta-hydroxylase ( CYP11B1 ) and aldosterone synthase ( CYP11B2 ) were examined by RT-qPCR.Cell proliferation was detected by MTS method.Results Compared with control group, angiotensin Ⅱincreased the secretion of cortisol and aldosterone, and the expression of CYP11B1 and CYP11B2.Simvastatin decreased cortisol secretion and CYP11B1 mRNA expression ( P<0.05 ) .Simvastatin also inhibited angiotensinⅡ-induced the secretion of cortisol and aldosterone , and the expression of CYP 11 B1 and CYP11 B2 compared with Angiotensin Ⅱgroup ( P<0.05 ) .Angiotensin Ⅱhad no effect on cell proliferation , while simvastatin significantly inhibited cell proliferation .The inhibitory effect of simvastatin on proliferation was enhanced when simvastatin was prescribed with angiotensin Ⅱ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusions Simvastatin inhibits angiotensin Ⅱ-induced secretion of cortisol and aldosterone in H295R cells.Simvastatin inhibits cell proliferation, which could be enhanced by angio-tensin Ⅱ.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of intratracheal injection of pulmonary surfactant (LISA) combined with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Methods The databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Weipu Database and China Biology Medicine disc (CBM) were searched, and all of the randomized controlled trial of LISA combined with CPAP for treatment of RDS were included. RevMan 5.2 was used to perform meta-analysis. The differences of mortality, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), and other complications between LISA group and control group were compared in <34 weeks gestational age preterm infants with RDS. Results Five randomized controlled trials were included with 759 infants in total. Compared with control group, the rate of mechanical ventilation (RR: 0.32,95% CI: 0.13-0.82) and the incidence of BPD (RR: 0.61,95%CI: 0.42-0.88) were significantly decreased in LISA group. There were no differences in mortality and the incidences of ROP, IVH, and PVL between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The mechanical ventilation and the incidence of BPD is significantly reduced in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome by LISA, but it has no effect on the incidences of other complications and mortality.

Objective To investigate the effect of 5-azacytidine on cardiomyogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Method BMSCs were isolated from the marrow of adult SD rat’s femoral /tibial bones.Different concentration of 5-azacytidine were added to primary BMSCs on 3 d and cultured for different times.Cardiomyogenic differentiation of BMSCs was observed by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Result After treated with 5-azacytidine, BMSCs proliferated slowly, became spindle-shaped after 10 d and aligned in a striated pattern after 20 d.TnT positive cells were showed by Immunohistochemistry and they expressed two cardiac-marked genes GATA-4 and ?-MHC.Thus 5-azacytidine induced cardiomyogenic differentiation of BMSCs in a time and concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion Our study suggests that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into cardiomyocytes in vitro. They are ideal donor cells in cellular cardiomyoplasty for treatment of myocardial infarction.

Objective To compare selenium content in hair samples of children in Kashin-Beck Disease (KBD) areas and control areas,and to provide academic data for KBD control and prevention.Methods In 2011,Longnan,Qingyang,Dingxi City of KDB areas in Gansu Provines were selected as survey point,meanwhile,colleagues of Tianshui City and Lanzhou City were selected as control.Hair samples of children aged between 6 and 12 years were taken from each survey point to determine the hair selenium.After using the nitricperchloric mixed acid to digest the sample,the concentrations of selenium were determined by hydride generator atomic fluorescence spectrometry.Results Two hundred and fifty-four samples from KBD areas and 102 samples from control areas were collected.The hair selenium of KBD areas[(0.22 ± 0.07),(0.22 ± 0.00),(0.20 ± 0.07)mg/kg],were higher than the control areas[(0.32 ± 0.08),(0.42 ±0.11)mg/kg].After comparation of selenium content in every sampling point,we found the range of children's selenium content was relatively narrow in KBD areas (0.08-0.46 mg/kg).The minimum value and the maximum value in KBD areas were lower than that of control areas (0.15-0.51 mg/kg).A totle of 51.1％ (182/356) of children was seriously lack of selenium,the hair selenium content was ＜ 0.25 mg/kg.It was also found that Se content was not significantly different between boys and girls.Conclusions Children's selenium is deficient in KBD areas in Gansu.It is important to ensure salt supplement with selenium for a long period of time and through other ways to increase Selenium intake to control KBD.

Objective To explore the relationship between bronchial asthma severity and the levels of nerve growth factor(NGF) in induced sputum.Methods One hundred and seventy children with asthma were divided into two groups, including 87 cases of chronic duration group and 83 cases of acute phase group.Before treatment lung function test was conducted, induced sputum was taken immediaitely, the levels of NGF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Eosinophils (EOS)in induced sputum were count.Comparative analysis was conducted.Results The levels of NGF,FEV1 ,FVC,PEF and EOS in duration group were significantly elevated compared with acute phase group (all P ＜ 0.05).Significant differences in NGF, FEV1, FVC, PEF and Eos were found by comparison of different extent in chronic duration group and acute phase group (all P ＜ 0.05), the levels of NGF were positive correlated with illness severity (all P ＜ 0.05) in children with afsthma in chronic duration and acute phase, the levels of NGF were positive correlation with FEV1, FVC, PE-Fand EOS (all P ＜ 0.05) in children with asthma in chronic duration, the levels of NGF were positive correlation with FEV1 and PEF in children with Asthma in acute phase,but the levels of NGF has no correlation with FVC and EOS (all P ＞ 0.05) in children with Asthma in acute phase.Conclusion The levels of NGF in induced sputum of children with asthma in acute phase are markedly elevated compared with children with asthma in chronic duration, the levels of NGF are positive correlated with illness severity in children with asthma in chronic duration and acute phase.

OBJECTIVETo develop a solvent desorption gas chromatographic method for determination of n-pentanol in the workplace air.

METHODSn-Pentanol in the workplace air was collected with activated carbon tubes, desorbed with 2% 2-propanol in carbon disulfide, separated with a nitroterephthalic acid-modified FFAP capillary column, and detected with flame ionization detector.

RESULTSThe limit of detection was 0.2 mg/L; the lower limit of quantification was 0.6 mg/L; the linear range was 0.6-4072.0 mg/L. The minimum detectable mass concentration was 0.2 mg/m3 for 1.5 L of air sample. This method was highly repeatable. The relative standard deviations were 2.3%-5.4%. The average desorption efficiencies were 86.9%-94.2%. The absorption efficiencies were 100%. The breakthrough volume was above 8.0 mg in 100-mg activated carbon. The samples in activated carbon tubes could be stored for at least 14 days at room temperature.

CONCLUSIONThe method is feasible for determination of n-pentanol in the workplace air.
