Objective To investigate the cytotoxic effects and mechanism of PNP-CD chimeric gene vector originated from PNP/MeP-dR system on HCC cells. Methods The fusion suicide gene PNP-CD obtained by site directed mutagenesis technique was subcloned into pcDNA3.0 to construct a eukaryotic expression vector containing a chimeric gene, pcDNA3.0/ PNP-CD. After being identified by recombinant enzyme, PCR and subsequent sequencing, it was transfected into HepG2 cells by liposome-mediation method. The G418-resistant cellular clone with stable transfection of pcDNA3.0/PNP-CD, HepG2/PNP-CD was established by selection. The expression of PNP-CD gene was also verified by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The curve of cellular growth was assayed by Trypan blue exclusion. The cellular sensitivity of HepG2/PNP-CD to its specific prodrugs and its bystander effects were also assayed by MTT method. Results The chimeric gene, PNP-CD, was inserted into pcDNA3.0 correctly, and the stable expression of pcDNA3.0/PNP-CD in HepG2 cells was confirmed.This cellular clone was highly sensitive to its corresponding prodrugs. It was indicated that its bystander effects with the synergetic treatment of its specific prodrugs were substantially higher than those caused by the same vector with the administration of only a single prodrug, MeP-dR. Conclusion The bi-functional fusion suicide gene vector, pcDNA3.0/PNP-CD, yields powerful cytotoxic effects on HCC cells in the presence of the synergetic treatment of its specific prodrugs, which would be a high-performance therapeutic vector in gene therapy for liver cancer.

The mechanism of chromium accumulation and microstructure transformation of the fused yeast were studied in this paper.The result showed that the process of Cr6+ reduction and adsorption was accom-panied by the H+ consumption.The main adsorptive groups on the strain surface included amino,hydroxyl,phosphate group and amide,among which phosphate group played vital role in the chromium accumulation.The removal rate of chromium and reduction rate of hexavalent chromium declined 70% and 46%,respec-tively,when phosphate group was masked.During the adsorption process the chromium ions complexed on the surface of fused yeast was transported into the cell wall and combined with inclusion to form steady spe-cies and this took 90 min to reach the equilibrium.The biosorption and reduction of Cr on the cell surface would alter microstructure of cell surface,reduce cell membrane potential and increase cell membrane per-meability.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the modes for smooth progress of ADR monitoring under the new Measures for the Administration of Adverse Drug Reaction Report and Monitoring.
METHODWork modes for ADR monitoring in drug manufacturers were explored by explaining the new Measures and analyzing current state and constrains.
RESULT AND CONCLUSIONAs there is a larger gap between the requirements of new Measures and current status, it is difficult for drug manufacturers to meet all the requirements in short-term. Therefore, drug manufacturers are suggested to gradually complete ADR monitoring under the mode of one platform and four expansions, and thereby finally meeting the requirements of new Measures and fulfilling their duties and missions.
