Objective To investigate mechanisms of resistance to adriamycin(ADR)by human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and to find the alteration of features and celluar behavior of MCF-7 after exposure to ADR.MethodsProliferation speed,population doubling time of MCF(wild type),MCF-7/ADR(exposure to adriamycin)and withdrawl group were respectively tested.Cell phenotype alteration was detected using SP immunohiatochemistry methods.Results No significant difference of proliferation speed was found between MCF-7/ADR and MCF cells.As exposure time prolonged,withdrawl group cells grew faster,thus population doubling time shortened.Differentiation of MCF-7/ADR and wthdrawl group was lower than wild group.The expression of drug resistance associated marker of MCF-7/ADR such as Pgp,LRP,GST-pi,TOPOⅡwas higher than that of MCF-7,ER turned to express negatively,and expression of PR gradually decreased as exposure continued.Conclusion MCF-7 cells exposed to ADR got drug resistant,their proliferation was not suppressed by withdrawl of ADR and even grew faster.Drug resistant cells gained dedifferentiation ability.Their heredity and biochemistry features changed,expression of target enzyme also altered and was reversible by drug withdrawl.

Objective To observe the influence of exercises on the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-α) and its target genes of acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO),Enoyl-CoA-hydratase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase (EHHADH) in the skeletal muscles in insulin-resistance mice to develop a way to improve the lipid metabolism.Methods Twenty male ApoE knockout mice were randomly divided into two groups,the high-fat diet group (group HFD) and the exercise training group (group Ex).The HFD group were fed with highfat diet,while the Ex group were fed in the same way,with additionally swimming training.And ten healthy male C57BL/6j mice were chosen as the control group(group ND).After 12 weeks of intervention,the serum lipid,blood glucose and insulin levels were determined,and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (Homa-IRI) was calculated.The bilateral gastrocnemiuses were cut to be observed under a transmission electron microscope,and the mRNA expression of PPAR-α,ACO and EHHADH in skeletal muscle were measured using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results The transmission electron microscope showed that the sarcolemma edema,mitochondrial swelling,as well as focal myocytolysis and edema within myofibrils were observed in the HFD group.The total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,free fatty acid,fasting glucose,insulin and HomaIRI of the HFD group were significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05),while the mRNA expression of PPAR-α,ACO and EHHADH was significantly deceased than the latter(P < 0.05).After swimming,the abovementioned pathological changes disappeared.The serum lipid of the Ex group were significantly lower (P < 0.05),while HDL was significantly higher (P < 0.05).And fasting insulin,glucose and HOMA-IR of the Ex group were significantly lower (P < 0.05),while the mRNA expression of the above in the Ex group were significantly increased (P <0.05).Conclusion Swimming training could improve insulin resistance and metabolic disorder of lipid of ApoE knockout mice.The possible mechanisms may be through up-regulating the expression of PPAR-α,which in turn stimulates the expression of ACO and EHHADH mRNA to strengthen fatty acid β-oxidation.

There are many different opinions about the taxonomy of plant pathogenic coryneform bacteria since they were departed from genus of Corynebacteria. In recent years, they were classified into 5 genus, including Clav-ibacter, Curtobacterium, Arthrobacter, Rhodococcus and Rathayibacter. Some new points of view about their taxonomy have been published thereafter. The changing of taxonomy is maily because of the methods'altering from old to new molecular and polyphasic taxonomy, and the latter is in continuously development. Taxonomy of plant pathogenic coryneform bacteria somehow depends on the cooperation of phytopathologists, microbilogists and other scientists.

Objective To study the MRI manitestation of juvemle acute pure cartilage fracture of the knee joint.Methods The MRI changes of cartilage,subcartilage low signal line and subcartilage bone were analysed retrospectively in 26 juvenile patients with acute pure cartilage fracture confirmed by arthroscopy.Sagittal and coronal MRI scanning were performed in 26 patients.Using fast low angle shot fat saturation T_1-weighted image(FLASH-FS-T_1WI)sequences,spin echo T_1-weighted image(SE-T_1WI)and fast imaging with steady-state precession three dimensional fat saturation T_2-weighted image(FISP-3D-FS- T_2WI)sequences in sagittal plane,SE-T_1WI and multi echo data image combination T_2-weighted imaging (MEDIC or ME-T_2WI)in coronal plane.Using ME-T_2WI sequence,axial plane MRI scanning in 5 patients.Results Twenty-seven sites of 26 patients include 8 patella,7 femoral medial condyle, 11 femoral lateral condyle and 1 tibial plateau.Three types pure cartilage fracture were observed,totally defect of the cartilage in 7 sites(include 3 patella,2 femoral medial condyle,1 femoral lateral condyle and 1 tibial plateau),fissuring fracture in 3 sites(include 2 femoral medial and 1 femoral lateral condyles), superficial defect of the cartilage in 17 sites(include 5 patella,3 femoral medial and 9 femoral lateral condyle).Corpus liberum was found in 21 patients'knee joints by arthroscopy,but only 3 cases by MRI. Bone bruise was detected,and subcartilage low signal lines were normal.Conclusion Using FLASH-FS- T_1WI,SE-T_1WI,FISP-3D-FS-T_2WI and ME-T_2WI sequences,sagittal and coronal MRI scanning in femoral and tibial plateau pure cartilage fractures,and using ME-T_2WI sequence axial scanning in patella r cartilage fractures may show the position,extension and types of the acute pure cartilage fracture of the knee joint. MRI is the hest non-invasive method for studying cartilage fracture.

The study was purposed to analyze the frequency and distribution of irregular antibodies in Shaoguan area. Screening 15 033 random donor antibodies in Shaoguan area by screening cells, polybrene and antiglobulin tests. The results indicated that the irregular antibodies were found in 42 samples. The frequency of irregular antibodies in female was higher than that in male (P < 0.001), and Rh blood group antibodies such as anti-D, anti-E, and anti-Ec C were common (47.6%). 2 samples of Le antibodies were failed to be found by polybrene test. 2 samples of irregular antibodies with titer 2 were undiscovered by screening test of 10 pooled samples. In conclusion, because of irregular antibodies resulting in hemolytic transfusion reaction, the investigation of frequency and distribution of irregular antibodies is very important for safe transfusion. Antibody screening must be done for female donors, and especially for massive plasma transfusion of patients with severe and dangerous illness and infants so as to ensure safety.

Objective]To investigate the influence of induced before or after the expected date of childbirth on maternal and neonatal outcome in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus which blood glucose well controlled.[Methods]We retrospectively analyzed 238 cases with mild gestational diabetes mellitus who had delivered in this hospital. Mild gestational diabetes mellitus cases were those who only need diet control,exercise therapy,no drug treatment. There were 120 cases who induced in 40 ~ 40+6 weeks was the research group,and 118 cases who induced in 39~39+6 weeks was the control group.[Results]The cesarean section rate be?tween the two groups was no difference(49.2%vs 55.9%,P=0.528);Postpartum hemorrhage rate of the two groups was no differ?ence(10.0%vs14.4%,P=0.299)Birth weight between the two groups was no difference(3.26 ± 0.33)kg vs(3.22 ± 0.34)kg,P =0.448). The incidences of the two groups including fetal distress,large for gestational age infants,neonatal pathological jaundice, neonatal hypoglycemia were no difference(P > 0.05).[Conclusion]Pregnant women with mild gestation diabetes mellitus induced before after 40 completed gestation weeks did not increase cesarean section rate. Pregnancy outcome between the two groups were no difference.It would be better to select the appropriate induction time according to the patient′s condition.
