Objective To investigate the difference of gene expression in two human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines, 5-fluorouracil resistant cell line SGC7901/R and its parental cell line SGC7901, and to screen related genes of JAK/STAT signaling pathway by gene chip. Methods The mRNAs of two cell lines were extracted and purified. The two cDNA probes were made from these two mRNAs which were labelled by (biotin-)16-dUTP, hybridized with human JAK/STAT signaling pathway gene array and scanned for intensity, respectively. The acquired images were analyzed by software. Different expression genes were then screened out. The mRNA expressions of Stat3, NF-?B1 and bcl-x were analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, (respectively.) Results A parallel comparison between the gene profiles of JAK/STAT signalling pathway in two cell lines showed that a total of 70 genes were screened out whose expressive level was more than 2 folds in 5-flurouracil resistant cell line SGC7901/R and its parental cell line SGC7901. Among these genes, 40 were upregulated and the other 30 were down-regulated. The results of RT-PCR were consistent with those of microarray scanning. Conclusions The knowledge of gene expression profile of JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which was changed in 5-fluorouracil resistant cell line of human gastric adenocarcinoma, has proven to be useful for illustrating the multi-drug resistance mechanisms of gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the effects and relationship of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) and hypoxia in transient ischemia-like attack (TIA-like) in Kunming mice.Methods Fifty-six mice were randomly divided into normal saline group (group A), t-BHP group (group B), t-BHP plus hypoxia group (group C) and model group (group D). Fourteen mice in group D were injected t-BHP (0.11 mol/L, 10 ml/kg) through tail vein with an interval of 24 hrs to induce TIA-like attack. The average time of TIA-like was ( 3.7? 1.1) days, and this time was used as experimental evidence to collect blood sample in other groups. Hemorheological indexes before TIA-like attack were observed in different experimental conditions.Results Compared with group A, the whole blood viscosity at shear rate 100S-1, 1S-1 and Fibrinogen were significantly increased in group B and group C (all P

Purpose To observe the effect of MK on proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial HU-VECs cells and to explore the role of MK in tumor angiogenesis. Methods siRNA targeting MK was used to downregulate MK expres-sion in human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Then, the experiment was divided into three groups: the untreated group, the empty vector transfection group and MK gene interference group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the endothelial cells proliferation, tr-answell method was for detection of endothelial cell migration numbers, and matrigel in vitro small tube formation assay was used to sur-vey the state of tube formation. Expression of MK in siRNA transfection was identified by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results The MK gene interference group showed lower cell proliferation activity, less number of migration of cells and tube formation than the other two groups (P<0. 05). Conclusion Low-expressed MK in human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 can inhibit proliferation, mi-gration and angiogenesis of endothelial cells, which shows that MK may play an important role in tumor angiogenesis.

Abstract: A new selaginellin derivative named as selaginellin S (1) was isolated from the whole plants of Selaginella pulvinata (Hook. et Grev.) Maxim. (Selaginellaceae), together with a known one (selaginellin M, 2). Compounds 1 and 2 were separated and purified by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis including IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR experiments, as well as ECD calculations. Compound 1 is a key intermidiant in the biosynthesis pathway of selaginellins. Compound 2 is first reported in this plant.

Objective: To study the expression of cyclin D1 and E in lung cancer. Methods: The immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression of cyclin D1 and E in 68 cases of non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and 21 cases of small cell lung cancer(SCLC). Results: The rate of cyclin D1 protein positive expression was 48.5% in NSCLC, 4.8% in SCLC,showing significant difference( P

Objective To explore the effect of a novel colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip for detection of group B streptococci (GBS).Methods A total of 202 cases of swab of vagina or neck of uterus were collected,and they were detec-ted by novel strip and control strip to evaluate their clinical applications.Results Sensitivity of novel strip was about 105 CFU/ml and the detection time was about 5 to 8 minutes,and it showed better sensitivity and shorter detection time com-pared with control strip.In the 202 cases of clinical samples,the detection results of 197 cases were in consistent with the control strip,however,the detection results of 5 cases were not in consistent.The positive coincidence rate and negative coin-cidence rate were 97.5% and 97.54% respectively,and the total coincidence rate and Kappa value were 97.52% and 0.948 respectively.The consistency test showed no significant difference between this strip and control strip.Conclusion This method was a effective technology for diagnosing of infection caused by GBS,and had high value in clinical application.

AIM: The study aimed to verify the effects of arsenic trioxide in combination with aspirin on angiogenesis of human gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice. METHODS: Experiments were performed at the Laboratory of Pathology, Xuzhou Medical College from September 2006 to July 2007. A total of 36 male BALB/C-nu/nu nude mice aged 4-6 weeks, weighting 18-22 g were selected. Human gastric cancer cell strain SGC-7901 were purchased from Shanghai Institute of Biology of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Thirty-six nude mouse models of cell strain SGC-7901 lateral armpit subcutaneously transplantation tumor were established and randomized into a control group, a aspirin group, a arsenic trioxide group and a combination group with nine in each group. Seven days after inoculation, nude mice were intraperitoneally administrated with drugs. Nude mice in the control group were treated with sterile saline (0.2 mL/d); Mice in the aspirin group were administrated with aspirin 0.3 g/(kg?d); Mice in the arsenic trioxide group received 2.5 mg/(kg?d); Mice in the combination group were administrated with 2.5 mg/(kg?d)plus aspirin 0.3 g/(kg?d), successively for 14 days. Immunohistochemical method (SP kit) was used to detect the expression of cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2) and CD34, and count microvessel density (MVD). Western-blotting was used to detect the expression of IKK?, I?B, nuclear factor (NF)-?B and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). RESULTS: A total of 27 male BALB/C-nu/nu nude mice were included in the final results. Seven days after inoculation, 1 mm tumor was formed on the back of 31 nude mice. One mouse respectively died in the arsenic trioxide group and the combination group. One mouse died and one loss in the aspirin group. Compared to the aspirin group, arsenic trioxide group and control group, expressions of IKK?, NF-?B and VEGF decreased in the combination group (P

Objective: To develop a method to determine Astragaloside IV in spray-dry of Radix Astragali by HPLC-ELSD. Methods: ELSD was used to determine directly Astragaloside IV in spray-dry of Radix Astragali on Elite-OSD column, using CH 3CN-H 2O(36∶64) as a mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min. The temperature of drift tube for ELSD was 105 ?C and the flow rate of N 2 was 2.84 ml/min. Results: The recovery of the added sample was 91.68% and RSD 1.64%. Soluble amylum was helpful for spray-dry but it can influence was determination of Astragaloside IV. Conclusion: The method is accurate and can be used in the determination of Astragaloside IV in spray-dry of Radix Astragali. Better adjuvant should be found.
