Objective To investigate the effects of MTA1 knock down on migration and invasion of NPC cell 5-8F in vitro. Methods RNAi (Si-MTA1-01 and Si-MTA1-02) that can transiently silenced MTA1 was designed, synthesized and transfected into 5-8F cells by lipofectamine 2000. Control group (transfection with nonsense sequence) was also estab-lished. The efficiency of MTA1 depletion was determined by q-PCR and Western blot. Wound-healing assay ,Matrigel inva-sion assay and thesolid-phase adhesion assay were performed to investigate the effect of MTA1 knockdown on 5-8F cell me-tastasis. Results Transiently knock down of MTA1 decreased MTA1 transcription and expression in 5-8F cells compared to shRNA-con cells, showing by Real-time PCR and western blot. The invasion and migration of the cells transfected with siRNA-MTA1 were much weaker than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion silencing MTA 1 gene can effectively in-hibit the migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell, and might be a promising target for NPC treatment.

Aims To observe the changes of endoge-nous hydrogen sulfide/cystathionine-γ-lyase (H2 S/CSE)system and to study the effects of H2 S on cardiac function,H2 S/CSE and myocardial infarct volumes in acute myocardial ischemic injury in isolated hearts of rats.Methods The myocardial ischemic injury model was established by the ligation of coronary artery.The hemodynamic parameters,such as the left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP),±dp/dtmax and coronary arterial flow(CF),were respectively recorded to evalu-ate the cardiac function.The content of H2 S and the activity of CSE in cardiac tissue were detected respec-tively at each time point after ischemia.Infarct vol-umes in isolated rat hearts were determined by dual staining with Evans-blue and TTC.Results (1 )Com-pared with those of the sham group,LVDP,±dp/dtmax and CF were significantly decreased at 30 min,1,2,3, 4 h after ischemia(P<0.01),there were no statistical-ly significant differences in the content of H2 S and the activity of CSE in cardiac tissue at 3 0 min after ische-mia.But during the periods from 1 h to 4h after ische-mia,the content of H2 S and the activity of CSE in car-diac tissue were significantly decreased,the infarct volumes were greatly increased compared with those of the sham control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01 ).(2) Compared with those of the ischemia 4h group,LVDP, ±dp/dtmax and CF were significantly increased in the NaHS low,middle and high dose groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01),the content of H2S and the activity of CSE in cardiac tissue were significantly increased in the NaHS low,middle and high dose groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01 ),and the infarct volumes were significantly decreased in NaHS middle and high dose groups(P<0.01 ).Conclusion H2S and CSE are involved in myocardial ischemic injury in isolated hearts of rats. Administration of NaHS could enhance the activity of CSE,increase the content of H2 S,and reduce infarct volumes.It could be suggested that H2 S has cardiopro-tective effects on acute myocardial ischemic injury.

Aim To investigate whether hydrogen sul-fide ( H2 S ) inhibits cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by acute myocardial ischemia in isolated perfused rat heart. Methods The myocardial ischemia injury model was replicated with Langendorff isolated perfused rat heart, and the left anterior descending coronary ar-tery was ligated for 4 h. 40 male SD rats were divided into five groups randomly: sham group, ischemia group, and NaHS groups (5,10,20μmol·L-1). The segmental heart samples were used for HE staining. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected with TUNEL as-say. The expressions of caspase-3 and Cyt-C in hearts were determined with Western blot analysis. Results Myocardial cells were found to show serious disorder and coagulated zonal necrosis under light microscope, the apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes and the expression of caspase-3 and Cyt-C were significantly increased af-ter ischemia for 4h. Perfusion of NaHS resulted in more clear cell morphology and milder pathologic chan-ges of myocardiocytes according to the HE staining a-nalysis, and the significant decrease of expression of Cyt-C. After perfusion of 10,20 μmol·L-1 NaHS,the apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes and the expression of caspase-3 were significantly decreased. Conclusion H2 S has certain protective effects on acute myocardial ischemic injury in isolated perfused rat heart via inhibi-ting cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the papers published by domestic scientific research workers in order to improve the academic level of their papers. Methods The papers published by over 3000 domestic scientific research workers were investigated with questionnaires. Their motives to publish papers and the relation between the number of pub-lished papers and the assessment of their performance were analyzed. Results The number of papers published by domestic scientific research workers was increased. However, their academic level was to be further improved. Over quantization of the assessment mechanisms for scientific research increased the external motives to publish papers, thus leading to the insufficient internal motives of them to engage in scientific research. Conclusion A loose and comfortable academic environment should be created for the scientific research workers in order to initiate their in-ternal motives to publish papers. Over quantization of the assessment mechanisms for scientific research should be changed in order to reduce the external motives of domestic scientific research workers to publish papers. Innovative and cultural environment should be created in order to improve the soft power of scientific research in our country.

Laminin(LN) and hyaluronie acid (HA) are extracellular matrix in liver. The effects of LN and HA on human fetal liver cells proliferation and collagen synthesis were observed and serum levels of LN and HA were assayed m patients with liver diseases by an enzyme immunoassay method. Both LN and HA had a significant effect on the inhibition of cell proliferation and collagen production. However, serum levels of LN and HA were significantly increased in liver cirrhosis comparing with healthy controls and with patients with non-liver diseases. The results suggest that LN and HA may play a role in the feed-back inhibition mechanism in liver fibrogencsis, and assay of LN and HA in serum may be useful to the diagnosis of liver fibrosis.
