Results Real-timePCR test results showed that compared with normal pancreatic cells,mir-155,mir-196a expression in three pancreatic cancer cells PANC-1,PaCa-2,AsPC-1 were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with healthy volunteers,mir-155,mir-196a,mir-181a,mir-181b expression of plasma in pancreatic cancer patients were significantly higher(P<0.05).Immunohistochemistry results showed that mir-155,mir-196a mir-181a and mir-181b expression in pancreatic tissue were significantly higher than that in normal pancreatic tissue (P <0.05 ).Conclusion The expression of mir-155,mir-196a,mir-181a and mir-181b are high in pancreatic cancer tissues and pancreatic cancer cell lines,which are closely related to the development of pancreatic cancer.Those microRNAs are expected to be cancer markers for early diagnosis of,pancreatic cancer,have highly diagnostic value and broad clinical application.

Objective To invesgate hepatitis B c antigen(HBeAg)as the carrier to construct mixed hepatitis C virus(HCV)therapeutic vaccine.Methods Fused the pTrc-core gene with two synthetic T-epitope antigen gene of HCV,expressed the plasmids pTrc-core-T1 and pTrc-core-T2, applied sucrose density gradient centrifugation to get the fusion protein HBcAg-T1 and HBcAg-T2, dialysised and concentrated the protein,mixed and immunized them in mice using the protein HBcAg (expressed by pTrc-core)as control.The tumor regression trial in mice was evaluated at appropriate time.After immunized four times,got the blood and spleen of mice.Interleukin(IL)-12 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),nonspecific T lymphocytes prolifera- tion response of splenic lymphocytes was respectively examined by thiazolyl blue(MTT)assay.T cell subset of splenic lymphoeytes,IL-5 in serum,IL-4 and interferon(IFN)-?in lymphocyte were evalu- ated by FACS.Results Tumor regression trial showed the experimental group formed only one tumor(diameter=0.1 cm),smaller than the T_1T_2 peptides group(diameter=0.9 cm)and blank group(diameter=1.3 cm).FACS indicated that CD8~+ T cell percentage of spleen cells from HBcAg- T_1T_2 group(20.21?2.01)% was higher than T_1T_2 peptides group(15.33?1.45)% and blank group(5.09?1.66)%,the percentage of IFN-?positive cells in these three groups were(1.58?0.05)%,(0.88?0.02)% and(0.53?0.03)%.The ELISA discovered that the level of IL-12 in the experimental group was the highest.Different from above,the IL-4 and IL-5 were lower in the exper- imental group.The detection of eytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL)activity showed that the quantity of Hela cells infected by HCV in HBcAg-T1T2 stimulated group was different obviously from T1T2 peptides group. Conclusion The mixed protein HBcAg-T1 and HBcAg-T2 can induce stronger cellular immunity and it is able to serve as a therapeutic vaccines candidate specific for HCV.

This study examined the effect of small interfering RNA-mediated β-catenin knockdown on the survival, invasion and chemosensitivity of human osteosarcoma cells (U2-OS cells). The siRNA against β-catenin was constructed and transfected into U2-OS cells. The expression of β-catenin was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Cell growth and apoptosis was detected in the presence or absence of doxorubicin by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. Cell invasion ability was measured by transwell assay. The results showed that the transfection of β-catenin siRNA resulted in decreased expression of β-catenin, suppression of invasion and motility of U2-OS cells, reduced chemosensitivity to doxorubicin in vitro, and little change in cell growth and apoptosis. Additionally, down-regulated MT1-MMP expression was found after transfection. It was concluded that knockdown of β-catenin gene may decrease the invasive ability of human osteosarcoma cells through down-regulated MT1-MMP expression, and the chemosensitivity of osteosarcoma cells against doxorubicin.

In this article,the oral medicine laboratory teaching of non-oral medicine international students was analyzed and summarized. Teaching plan should be made in accordance with the aptitude of students and goal of training. We used many teaching methods such as multimedia teaching,demonstration with teeth in vitro,etc and acquired good teaching effects. It gives us many experiences for the future teaching.

Objective To study the effect of intra-pulmonary arterial anti-tumor necrosis factor-α antibody(TNF-α Ab) on ultra-structure of lung after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Forty New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into four groups:group Ⅰ-Ⅲ underwent CPB; group Ⅳ only received open chest operation.In the group Ⅱ,rabbit TNF-α Ab(27 ng/kg) was dropped into the pulmonary artery when the aorta was clamped and CPB continued 30 minute.Pulmonary arterial perfusion was given to the group I instead.Blood TNF-α and neutrophils count from right and left atrium and oxygenation index in the four groups were determined perioperatively.Lung water content,TNF-αmessenger RNA,Bcl-2 protein,Bax protein,Bcl-2/Bax,apoptosis index and pathomorphological change were measured in the lung tissues.Results TNF-α Ab can restrain leukocyte accumulation and reduce releasing of TNF-α in the lung and improve oxygenation index.Moreover,TNF-α Ab can reduce the expression of Bax on alveolar epithelial cells and alleviate the decreasing of the expression of Bcl-2.It can also reduce the occurrence of apoptosis and attenuate pathomorphological changes in the lung tissue.Conclusion Intra-pulmonary arterial antitumor necrosis factor-α antibody markedly lessens the injury of inflammatory reaction and ultra-structure of lung after CPB via Bcl-2/Bax pathway.
