The cloning of promoter is important for studying the genetic engineering and the regulation of gene expression in plants. Two promoters Os772 and Os359, which are predicted to be highly expressed in the endosperm of rice from the EST database were cloned. After construction of the Os772∶∶GUS and Os359∶∶GUS expression vectors, they were transformed into rice. X-Gluc staining of transgenic plants showed that Os772 and Os359 can promote GUS gene expression in matured endosperm but not in root, stem, leaf and flower. This result indicates Os772 and Os359 are two rice endosperm-specific promoters.

To explore the effect of high glucose on the NF-κB/IκB signal pathway in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells. The results showed that high glucose increased the degradation of IκB-α and the translocation to nucleus of NF-κB. These changes could be reverted mostly by MG132, a proteasome inhibitor. It suggests that the activation of the NF-κB signal pathway by high glucose concentration may probably be via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Objective To summarize the research results at home and abroad of raltitrexed on the patients with advanced gastric cancer,and to evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of raltitrexed. Methods Clinical controlled trials of evaluating effects of raltitrexed on the advanced gastric cancer were searched in PubMed,EMBase,Ovid,Springer,Wanfang database,VIP database and China Biology Medicine disc. Besides,references and conference abstracts were searched manually. Literature screening and data extraction were performed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 4. 2. Results Forty-four studies were found and 5 clinical controlled trails including 338 patients were included in this analysis. The results of Meta-analysis showed that there was a significant beneficial effect of raltitrexed on objective effective rate for the patients with advanced gastric cancer(RR = 1. 55,95% CI:1. 21-1. 99,Z = 3. 44,P = 0. 00)compared with other treatments. The incidences of Ⅲ-Ⅳadverse reactions in raltit-rexed group such as neutropenia(RR = 1. 97,95% CI:0. 85-4. 56,Z = 1. 59,P = 0. 11),thrombocytopenia (RR = 1. 56,95% CI:0. 60-4. 07,Z = 0. 92,P = 0. 36),anemia(RR = 2. 43,95% CI:0. 61-9. 78,Z =1. 25,P = 0. 21),arthralgia(RR = 3. 20,95% CI:0. 73-13. 98,Z = 1. 55,P = 0. 12),elevated transaminase (RR = 1. 37,95% CI:0. 29-6. 48,Z = 0. 39,P = 0. 69)were higher than those in other group,with no statis-tical significance. However,the adverse reactions in raltitrexed group such as diarrhea(RR = 0. 18,95% CI:0. 03-1. 07,Z = 1. 88,P = 0. 06),nausea and vomiting(Z = 1. 79,RR = 0. 45,95% CI:0. 19-1. 08,P =0. 07),neurotoxicity(RR = 0. 07,95% CI:0. 01-0. 52,Z = 2. 59,P = 0. 01),hand-foot syndrome(RR =0. 26,95% CI:0. 04-1. 59,Z = 1. 46,P = 0. 14),alopecia(RR = 0. 57,95% CI:0. 13-2. 55,Z = 0. 73, P = 0. 46)were lower than those in other group. There were no statistical significances except neurotoxicity. Conclusion Compared with other treatments,raltitrexed-based chemotherapy has a beneficial effect on objec-tive effective rate and less adverse reactions for the patients with advanced gastric cancer,which is worthy of clinical use.
