2.Role of RIP140 and PGC-1αin angiotensin Ⅱ mediated energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2015;(2):194-197,198
Aim To investigate the role of transcrip-tional cofactors receptor interacting protein 140 ( RIP140 ) and peroxisome proliferator-activated recep-tor γ coactivator-1α ( PGC-1α) in the angiotensin Ⅱ( AngⅡ) mediated energy metabolism regulation in cardiomyocytes. Methods RIP140 or PGC-1α was overexpressed via adenovirus vector system. ATP con-tents were detected by luminescence detection assay system. Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were used to measure the expressions of RIP140 and PGC-1α genes. Results After treated with 100 nmol·L-1 AngⅡfor 36h in neonatal cardiomyocytes, the content of mitochondrial ATP was reduced notably ( P <0. 01). Accordingly, the mRNA and protein levels for RIP140 were increased. However, the mRNA and pro-tein levels of PGC-1α were downregulated markedly. What’ s more,the reduction of ATP induced by AngⅡwas further aggravated by RIP 1 4 0 overexpression , but ameliorated by overexpressing PGC-1α. Conclusion The reduction of ATP mediated by AngⅡis associated with the upregulation of RIP140 , as well as the down-regulation of PGC-1α.

4.The challenges of forensic expert accepting cross-examination in trial-centered trial mode
Chinese Journal of Forensic Medicine 2017;32(1):1-4
Today, the direction of litigation reformation is changing trial pattern to be trial-centered and making the trial substantialized. Under this background, the relevant provisions have been launched from the supreme people's court and other departments to make sure that the forensic expert will appear in court and accept cross-examination, and this phenomenon should be normalized and substantiated. In order to ensure the expert opinion can be fully and effectively cross-examined, the medico-legal expert should fulfill obligations, such as respect for the court, answer questions honestly and explain expert opinions. We find that some problems show up in this process: the rate of forensic expert appearing in court is low; the legal nature of expert opinion is not clear; the requirements are not clear;the conflict between forensic expert opinion and other forms of expert evidence, including auxiliary expert, is very clearly. Based on this situation, the author give some suggestions to the forensic expert: keep on learning to improve professional skill; improve the legal knowledge; pay attention to practice and strengthen the ability of expression.

Acta Anatomica Sinica 1953;0(01):-
Monoclonal antibodies, CAb-15 and CAb-16, were produced by using of spleen cells from Balb/c mice immunized with cell suspension of fresh hepatoma tissues with mouse myeloma Sp 2/0 cells. Western blotting showed that the antigen determinant of CAb-15 was situated on the ?_1 [Ⅲ] polypeptide chains and that of CAb-16 on the triple helical domain. The monoclonal antibodies were also used for immunohistochemical localization by ABC method in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections of normal tissues from liver, kidney, aorta, skin, cartilage, placenta, stomach, breast and granulation tissues. The results showed that these antibodies are useful in immunohistochemical study for collagen.

Objective To explore the clinical features and treatment of polycythemia vera(PV)complicating stroke.Methods Clinical data of 27 cases of PV complicating stroke were analysed retrospectively.Results(1)Among all the cases,PV complicating cerebral infarction were 22 cases(81.5%),among the 22 cases,18 cases(66.7%)of multiple cerebral infarction,2 cases(7.4%)of transient ischemic attack,2 cases(7.4%)of cerebral hemorrhage,1 case(3.7%)of subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).The patients's clinical manifestation,physical sign,hemogram,marrow characteristic were consistent with that of PV diagnosis criteria.(2)Imageology check show that small infarction focus were common(66.7%).Lobe of brain,basal ganglia,capsula interna were common place of cerebral infarction.The density of hemorrhagic focus was asymmetrical,there was obvious edema around the hemorrhagic focus.(3)Applied vein blood-letting and small dose chemotherapy,8 cases were recovery,18 cases were obviously improved,1 case of stroke was invalid.Conclusion The cerebral infarction are common in PV complicating stroke.Among all the PV complicating stroke cases,multiple cerebral infarction are the most common,cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage are few,vein blood-letting and small dose chemotherapy has a good curative effect for the patients.

Nuclear receptors(NRs)superfamily signaling plays an important role in regulating the expression of gene involved inenergy homeostasis.The nuclear receptors regulate target gene expression through the recruitment of coregulatory proteins,which act as scaffolds or plateforms for linking NRs with enzyme complexes that modify DNA and histones.As a transcriptional co-repressor for NRs,RIP140 negatively regulates the transcription of target gene in metabolic tissue,such as adipose tissue,muscle and liver.In the absence of RIP140,genes expressions involved in metabolic pathways were upregulated including glycolysis,triglyceride synthesis,TCA cycle,fatty acid ? oxidation,mitochondrial electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation.RIP140 may be a candidate therapeutic target for metabolism syndromes.

We prepared bovine epidermal keratin (EK) antibody, which can be used as a specific marker of cholangiocarcinoma(CC) cells to be distinguished from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. The intrahepatically implanted solid tumors of FSK 7901 and FSK 7902 have the histological structures of CC and HCC, respectively. Using immunofluorescence and PAP techniques, we demonstrated that, in the solid tumors, FSK 7901 cells are definitely EK-positive, while most of the cells of FSK 7902 are EK-negative. Therefore, we considered FSK 7901 and FSK 7902 as CC and HCC, respectively. In the solid tumors of FSK 7902, few cells which are EK-positive may be those in which there are Mallory bodies or the structures are forming.

Objective To study Heat shock proteins (HSPs) induction and their association with Hantaan virus (HTNV) structural proteins in the brain tissues of mice experimentally infected with HTNV 76~118. Methods Newborn mice less than 72 h of age were experimentally infected with HTNV by intracerebral inoculation. The brains of mice at the 8th day post infection were removed and prepared for tissue extracts. The possible interaction or association of Hantaan virus nucleocapsid protein (HTNV NP) and glycoprotein G2 (HTNV G2) with GRP94, HSP70 and HSP27 were analyzed by double specific antibo dies sandwich ELISA and immunoprecipitation methods. Results HTNV infection induced the expression a set of HSPs including GRP94 and HSP70 in the brain tissues of mice experimentally infected with HTNV. HTNV NP was associated with GRP94, HSP70 and HSP27, which led to formation of HTNV NP HSP70 GRP94 HSP27 complexes. It was also observed that HTNV G2 was associated with NP and HSP27, which led to formation of HTNV G2 NP HSP27 complexes. Conclusions HTNV infection induces expression of a set of HSPs, which were associate with viral structural proteins in the brain tissues of mice experimentally infected with HTNV. This association may demonstrate the chaperone roles of HSPs in the synthesis, transportation and maturity of viral proteins during viral replication in the host cells.

Trastuzumab is a specific inhibitor against human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2). Trastuzumab is widely used in the neo-adjuvant treatment of HER-2 breast cancer. Large-scale randomized and controlled clinical trials have demonstrated that pathologic complete response rates (pCRs) were significantly increased with neo-adjuvant trastuzumab therapy plus chemotherapy than with regular chemotherapy. The use of trastuzumab plus chemotherapy with lapatinib supplements could further improve pCR rates. An-thracycline and non-anthracycline drugs could both be used concurrently with trastuzumab. Endocrine therapy could be used as an alter-native for estrogen receptor-positive patients. pCR is a powerful predictor of long-term outcomes in HER-2 positive patients under neo-adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab. However, patient loss of HER-2 expression with residual disease after neo-adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab is a poor prognostic factor. This study paper will provide a review of related research.
