AIM: To prepare recombinant human spermine oxidase (SMO) and polyclonal antibody against human SMO by gene recombination techniques. METHODS: Human SMO cDNA was amplified from total RNA of A549 cells through reverse transcription PCR. The cDNA was then cloned into pET-15b to construct SMO prokaryotic expression vector. After transforming, the vector was induced to express recombinant SMO by IPTG in E. coli BL21 (DE_3). Recombinant SMO was purified by Ni-NTA resin under denaturing condition and then was dialyzed to renature. The enzyme activity of recombinant SMO was analyzed by chemical fluorescent method. SMO polyclonal antibody was prepared by using recombinant human SMO protein purified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as antigen to inoculate rabbit intradermally. The titer and specificity of anti-sera were determined by ELISA, Western blot and Immune Cell Chemistry. RESULTS: Purified and dialyzed recombinant human SMO has the specificicity of oxidizing the spermine. The polyclonal antibody has high titer and specificity against human SMO. CONCLUSION: This research established a method for prokaryotic expression, purification and polyclonal antibody preparation of human SMO. The method lays a foundation for the future functional research of SMO.

Objective To investigate the value of integrated PET-CT with 18F-FDG in the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer.Methods 91 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC)and 10patients with benign disease underwent integrated PET-CT from February 2004 to May 2005.Other diagnostic procedures were analysed. Results 91 patients with lung cancer were found by positive SUV and pathologically confirmed.Of the 10 patients with benign disease.positive SUV were found in 3 cases.2 cases with tuberculosis and 1 case with inflammatory pseudotumor were confirmed.Negative SUV were found in 7cases.1 case was incorrectly diagnosed by integrated PET-CT.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of integrated PET-CT in the diagnosis of NSCLC were 100%,90%,99%,respectively.Forty-eight of 91patients with lung cancer underwent operation.There were 30 cases with and 18 cases without mediastinal nodal metastases.There were two false negative cases and one false positive case.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of integrated PET-CT in the diagnosis mediastinal nodal metastases were 93.3%,94.4%,93.8%.respectively.Metastases were identified in 33 cases.Conclusion Functional metabolism and anatomy imaging are fused in integrated PET-CT.The primary site and metastases lesion are correctly diagnosed by integrated PET-CT.The accuracy of integrated PET-CT in the diagnosis of NSCLC is over 90%.

Aim To evaluate the effect of expression inhibition of spermine oxidase(SMO)on the actitumor activity of polyamine analogue CPENSpm (N~1-cyclopropylmethyl-N~(11)-ethylnorspermine).Methods siRNA technique was used to inhibit expression of SMO in human lung cancer line A549.QT-RT-PCR and enzyme activity assay was performed to determine the expression level of SMO.The cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay.The apoptosis of A549 cells were evaluated by DNA degradation and Sub-G_1/flow cytometry assay.Results The A549 cell line with silenced SMO expression was successfully obtained.Basic SMO mRNA and enzyme activity levels in the SMO-siRNA plasmid transfected cells were 0.53% and 14% lower than that in the control cells respectively. Treating A549 control cells by 10 μmol·L~(-1) CPENSpm for 24 hours resulted in a 10-folds up-regulation of SMO in mRNA level and 20-fold increase in enzyme activity,but this drug-induced SMO expression was obviously prevented in SMO-siRNA plasmid transfected cells.MTT assay demonstrated that SMO expression inhibition decreased the sensitivity of A549 cells to CPENSpm exposure(0～20 μmol·L~(-1)).DNA degradation and sub-G_1 assay proved a deceased ability of CPENSpm to induce apoptosis in SMO-siRNA plasmid transfected cells.Conclusion Up-regulation of SMO by CPENSpm is possibly one of the molecular basics for its antitumor activity.

BACKGROUND:Existing evidence has shown that xenogeneic bone derived graft materials have the ability to repair bone defects, but little report is on the comparison of composition of xenogeneic bone and human bone.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the chemical composition, mineral phase, calcium and phosphorus contents, total protein contents, and appearance of the cancel ous bones of the tibia from pig, bovine and human.
METHODS:Cancel ous bones of the tibia from pig, Banna miniature pig, bovine, young and old people were cut into bone particles of 0.5 cm×0.5 cm×0.5 cm. After degreasing or drying treatment, chemical composition, mineral phase, calcium and phosphorus contents, total protein contents of bone particles were detected using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, plasma emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Kjeldahl method, respectively. Nano Measurer 1.2 and Photoshop cs6 were used to measure pore diameter and porosity rate based on the results of scanning electron microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The main inorganic phase of five kinds of cancel ous bones was hydroxyapatite and the main chemical composition was phosphate and carbonate. The calcium content of the bovine cancel ous bonewas lower than that of the other cancel ous bones (P<0.05) and the phosphorus content of the cacel ous bone of young man was higher than that of the pig and bovine cancel ous bones (P<0.01). The total protein content in the cancel ous bones of normal pig and Banna miniature pig was higher than that in the other three kinds of cancel ous bones (P<0.05). The pore diameter of five kinds of cancel ous bones was 400 to 600μm and the porosity rate was 60%to 70%. Moreover, the porosity rate of the bovine cancel ous bone was the highest. Therefore, we conclude that there are some certain differences in the organic and inorganic components of the pig or bovine cancel ous bones as compared with humans.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for early postoperative cognitive function in the patients with peritoneal surface malignancies after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy(CRS-HIPEC).Methods Fifty-one patients(21 men and 30 women), ranged from 25 to 65 years,42-80 kg,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ,undergoing CRS-HIPEC under combined intrave-nous-inhalational anesthesia,were studied.Patients were assigned into postoperative cognitive dys-function (POCD)group or non-POCD group according to their performances of visual verbal learning test,concept shifting task,letter-digit coding test and stroop color-word test 1 day before operation and 7 days after operation.Years of education,medical history,duration of operation,intraoperative blood loss,frequency of cardiovascular events,amount of fluid infused per hour and VAS scores were recorded.Venous blood samples were taken at five time points:before surgery(T0 ),30 minutes after the beginning of the procedure(T1 ),30 minutes after the beginning of HIPEC(T2 ),at the end of the surgery(T3 )and 24 hours after the surgery(T4 ),to determine the concentration of serum amyloid A (SAA).pH,PaCO 2, Hb,blood glucose were recorded at T0-T2.Then the data was statistically analyzed.Results According to the diagnostic criteria,twenty patients developed POCD 20 (39.2%). There were significant differences between POCD and non-POCD groups on age,gender, pre-operative complications and the origin of tumor(P <0.05).The concentration of SAA increased from T2 and reached the peak at T4 ,and SAA concentration for patients in POCD group was higher than that for patients in non-POCD group(P <0.05).Compared with non-POCD group,the levels of blood glucose were significantly increased in POCD group at T2 (P <0.05).Conclusion CRS-HIPEC resul-ted in exaggerated and prolonged inflammatory response.Advanced age,female,diabetes,hyperten-sion,peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer are associated with early POCD in the patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC.
