Objective Human lung adenocarcinoma SPC-A1/DTX cells have a higher radioresistance than SPC -A1cells. This study was to investigate the role of Aurora-An/uclear factor κB ( NF-κB) in the radioresistance of human lung adenocarcinoma SPC-A1/DTX cells and its possible molecular mechanisms . Metho ds We collected human lung adenocarcinoma SPC-A1 and SPC A1/DTX cells and divided them into four groups:sh-Aurora-A ( Aurora-A plasmid interference ) , sh-NC, NF-κB inhibition ( SPC-A1/DTX +NF-κB inhibitor ) , and DMSO control .We measured the in vitro radio-sensitivity of the cells by MTT assay , determined their proliferation ability by cloning assay , and detected the mRNA and protein expressions of the target genes by real -time quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot , respectively . Results The 50% effective doses ( ED50 ) of the SPC-A1 and SPC-A1/DTX cells on radiotherapy were (6.5 ±0.3) and (12.8 ±0.6) Gy, respectively, with statisti-cally significant difference between the two groups ( P <0.01 ) .In the radiation doses of 0, 2, 4, and 6 Gy, the numbers of the cloned SPC-A1 cells were 345 ±20 , 252 ±22 , 170 ±15 , and 81 ±10 , sig-nificantly lower than those of the cloned SPC -A1/DTX cells (402 ±21, 370 ±18, 301 ±16, and 252 ±15) (P<0.05).The protein and mRNA expressions of Aurora-A were remarkably higher in the SPC-A1/DTX than in the SPC-A1 cells (1.00 ±0.08 and 1.00 ±0. 06 vs 0.49 ±0.03 and 0.22 ±0.02, P<0.05).MTT assay showed a higher ED50 in the sh-NC than in the sh-Aurora-A cells ([11. 8 ±0.5] vs [7.1 ±0.3] Gy, P<0.01) as well as in the control than in the NF-κB inhibition group ([11.7 ±0.5] vs [6.1 ±0.3] Gy, P<0.01).Inhibition of Aurora-A increased the expression of IκBa by 2.18 ±0.32 times (P<0.01) and that of NF-κB by 0.24 ±0.03 times (P<0.01).The expressions of IκBa (1.00 ±0.05) and NF-κB (1.00 ±0.04) were significantly lower in the parent strains of SPC-A1 than 0.65 ±0.04 and 2.18 ±0.15 in the drug-resistant strains of SPC-A1/DTX (P<0.01). Conclusi on Auro-ra-A/NF-κB is involved in the radioresistance of human lung adenocarcinoma SPC-A1/DTX cells.

Small molecule fluorescent probes have gained widespread attention for their advantages of high selectivity, sensitivity, and easy to operate, and have played a critical role in the detection of various species. They have also demonstrated great potential in the field of biomedical research. Iron, as the most abundant transition metal in the human body, plays a vital role in many physiological functions. Due to the influence of the reductive microenvironment of cell, ferrous ion (Fe2+) is the main component of labile iron in living cells. Heme, consisting of Fe2+ and protoporphyrin IX, is one of the main signaling molecules that wrap biological iron in the human body, and also participates in many physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, the development of small molecule fluorescent probes for detecting Fe2+ and heme as effective monitoring tools will help to further understand their pathological and physiological functions, with potential applications in other fields. This review summarizes the research progress of small molecule fluorescent probes for Fe2+ and heme detection in recent years, and provides insights into future directions for their development.

BACKGROUND: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system existed in bone tissue. Recent studies on antihypertensive drugs found that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor type antihypertensive drug was possibly effective for osteoporosis. Perindopril is one of the commonly used antihypertensive drugs. Whether perindopril affected bone metabolism or could be used in anti-osteoporosis has not been reported.
OBJECTIVE: To observe effects of perindopril on bone metabolism in a rat model of osteoporosis induced by retinoic acid.
METHODS: Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups, with ten in each group. In the model group and each perindopril groups, rats were intragastricaly administered retinoic acid solution 80 mg/kg per day. After successful model establishment, rats in different perindopril groups were intragastrical y administered perindopril 2, 4 and 8 mg/kg per day, once a day, for 42 consecutive days. In the normal control and model groups, rats were given an equal volume of distil ed water. Serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, bone mass and bone mineral density were detected in each group. Expression of bone specific alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase mRNA in bone tissue was determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, after treatment with perindopril, serum calcium and phosphorus levels were increased, alkaline phosphatase activities were significantly decreased, bone mass and bone mineral density were obviously increased in rats with retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis. Expression of bone specific alkaline phosphatase mRNA was higher in the perindopril 8 mg/kg group than in the perindopril 2 and 4 mg/kg groups and model group. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase mRNA expression was higher in the perindopril 8 mg/kg group than in the model group. These results indicated that perindopril could improve partial bone metabolic biochemical markers in osteoporosis rats, promoted bone formation by up-regulating bone specific alkaline phosphatase mRNA expression, and had a certain preventive effect on retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of survivin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor 2 of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP-2) in cervical carcinoma and their relationship with invasion and node metastasis of the cervical cancerous tissues. Methods The expressions of survivin, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were examined by immunohistochemical S-P method and colour pathological image computer analysis system in 10 cases of normal cervical epithelia, 10 cases of cervical carcinoma in situ, 40 cases of invasive squamous cell cervical carcinoma and 11 cases of invasive cervical adenocarcinoma. The relationship between those indexes and the factors related to clinical pathology of cervical carcinoma were analyzed statistically. Results It was found that the positive level of survivin and MMP-2 expression increased in the order of normal cervical epithelium, cervical carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma of cervix (P0.05). The positive expressions of survivin and MMP-2 in patients under 35 years old or with pelvic lymph node metastasis, intravascular involvement and stroma involvement were significantly higher than that in the cases without them, while TIMP-2 expression was opposite to that of MMP-2 (P

Objective To analyze the clinical features of the uterine sarcoma with different histological types and improve the capability of diagnosis and therapy. Methods Thirty-four cases with uterine sarcoma treatment were analyzed respectively , among which there were 19 cases with malignant endometrial interstitial sarcomas (55.8%), 6 cases with leiomyosarcoma (18%), 9 with malignant mixed tumor (26%). Results (1) The average age of patients were about 46 , patients with endometrial interstitial sarcomas aged 28 ~ 60 were more common in relatively younger , and patients with malignant mixed tumor aged about 56 were more common in postmenopausal women. Incidence rate of patients with endometrial interstitial sarcomas were more common (55.8%). (2) The patients usually manifested with abnormal vaginal bleeding (76%). Diagnosis curettage were the most commonly used before operation, which the positive rate was 65.3% and postoperative pathological di-agnosis was 35%. (3) 26 patients underwent one stage surgical treatment.7 patients underwent two stage surgical treatment. Surgical methods were the removal of the uterine double accessories and pelvic lymph node dissection. The five year survival rate was 77.7% (14/18). Conclusions The age range of uterine sarcoma is more exten-sive. Preoperative diagnosis can be diagnosed by curettage, and may also be missed. It should be paid attention to the operation of the examination examination , timely delivery of frozen examination to improve the diagnostic rate. and the appropriate surgical choice are meaningful methods to improve the prognosis.
