Acetylation regulated by histone deacetylases (HDAC) has a broad influence on plenty of physiological processes and regulation of malignant tumor.HDAC inhibitors can promote tumor cell apoptosis and have little effect on normal cells,so they have been developed a new kind of anti-tumor agent,and part of them have entered clinical trials.Vorinostat and romidepsin have been approved by FDA for treating cutaneous T cell lymphoma patients with progressive,persistent and recurrent disease.Studies of the molecular mechanisms of the HDAC inhibitors will contribute to the further clinical application.

Objective To study the genetic diversity of Sinopodophyllum hexandrum so as to provide basic molecular genetic evidence for protecting and exploiting the resource of S.hexandrum.Methods Six populations of S.hexandrum were analyzed by DALP molecular markers.To make up the genetic diversity correlation data by PopGene 1.31 software and cluster by UPGMA method,and establish the dendrogram.The tree was subsequently visualized with Treeview software.Results Five primer groups were screened and a total of 150 DNA fragments were amplified,among which 104 were polymorphic,i.e.the percentage of polymorphic bands(PPB) was 69.33%,the average number of DNA polymorphic band amplified by each primer group was 20.8 and the average PPB was 14.22%.In the six populations,the total observed number of alleles(Na) was 1.693 3 and the average Na was 1.142 2;The total effective number of alleles(Ne) was 1.417 1 and the average Ne was 1.083 8;The total Nei′s gene diversity(H) was 0.244 3 and the average H was 0.048 8;The total Shannon′s information index(I) was 0.364 3 and the average I was 0.073 0;The total gene diversity(Ht) was 0.244 3 while the gene diversity within a population(Hs) was 0.048 7.The coefficient of gene differentiation(Gst) was 0.800 5 between populations,namely 80.05% genetic variation occurring between populations and the rest 19.95% within population,and estimated gene flow(Nm) was 0.124 6.Conclusion The result indicats that S.hexandrum has much larger genetic differentiation among populations and gene flow has been blocked.This might be a result of species breeding system and population habitat.

Objective To study the effect of CO_2 pneumoperitoneum on animals with intra-abdominal infection.Methods A total of 60 New Zealand white rabbits were used in this study.The animals were divided into two groups (30 in each),and injected with Escherichia coli or bacteroides fragilis into the abdominal cavity to establish models of intra-abdominal infection.In each group, the rabbits were subdivided into laparotomy,pneumoperitoneum,and control subgroups.Before the injection,the peripheral blood of the rabbits in each group was obtained to determine the WBC count and level of C-reactive protein (CRP,by ELISA).After the operation,the tests were repeated for 4 times at days 1,2,4,7 respectively.Afterwards,the animals were killed,and the viscera were harvested for aerobic and anaerobic culture.Results In each of the two groups,the WBC count in the laparotomy subgroup were significantly higher than that in the pneumoperitoneum subgroup at day 1 (P

Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(05):-
Objective To explore the distribution of alkane, alcohol and ketone in indoor air of some apartments in Hangzhou. Methods 55 air samples were randomly collected from 31 apartments in Hangzhou by Carbotrap 300 air-sampling tube, during October-December, 2002, and April-May, 2003, then the volatile organic compounds in air samples were determined by heat-desorption GC-MS. Results 41 kinds of alkane, 11 kinds of alcohol and 9 kinds of ketone were found in air samples collected from 31 apartments in Hangzhou, average concentration of total alkane was 24.096 7 ?g/m3, average concentration of total alcohol was 3.670 7 ?g/m3, and average concentration of total ketone was 33.492 4 ?g/m3 respectively. The dominant indoor air pollutants were hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane, undecane, dimethylbutane, methylhexane, n-butanol, cyclohexanone, propanone, 2-butanone. The concentrations of alkane, alcohol and ketone in indoor air of apartments decreased with the time went on after the house decoration finished on the whole. 10 of 14 alkanes showed positive correlation to the temperature, 6 of them to the relative humidity at the sampling points. 2 of 11 alcohols and 3 of 9 ketones showed positive correlation to the relative humidity at sampling points. Conclusion The increasing temperature is the important factor for the release of alkanes in indoor air. The increasing relative humidity is the influence factor for the release of alcohols, ketones, and some alkanes in indoor air.

In recent years,more and more researchers have realized the possibility that algicidal bacteria could be a useful tool in reducing the impact of harmful algae blooms. In this review, the ecological roles of algicidal substances was briefly discussed, then special emphasis placed on the categories and extract methods of algicidal substances which have been reported. Some ideas for the further studies on algicidal substances were also proposed.

Objective To observe the effect of exhaustive exercise on the function of the kidney in rats and explore the mechanism. Methods Fourteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sedentary control group (group C) and exhaustive exercise group (group E). They were measured the urine protein, uric acid, glucose, and blood urea nitrogen after exercise. The reactive oxygen species, inducible ni-tric oxide synthase, nitro tyrosine in kidney, and nephrin protein in the kidney were detected with fluorescent probe and Western blotting, re-spectively, and observed under Harris staining. Results There were significant differences between groups C and E in urine protein, uric ac-id, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, reactive oxygen species, inducible nitric oxide synthase, nitrotyrosine and nephrin protein (P<0.05). The glomerular morphology and the deformation of capillary basement membrane were found under the fluorescence microscope in group E. Conclusion Exhaustive exercise may damage the structure of kidney in rats, which may associate with oxidative stress.

Objective To evaluate the image deformation and measurement error of rotational DSA by model experiment. Methods Five steel balls (diameter: 20 mm) were placed in a horizontal space of 30 mm, the middle of which was as the isocenter for rotational DSA acquisition. Another 5 steel balls (diameter: 10 mm) were placed in a vertical space of 30 mm with the same alignment for rotational DSA acquisition. The screen was divided into five regions and the morphological changes of the ball image were observed at each rotation angle. The experimental images of the left anterior oblique ball images at 20°, 40°and 60° among each two groups were selected and measured by automatic isocenter calibration and sphere calibration respectively, and compared with the actual diameters of balls to calculate the image magnification. Results Except the center one, other balls were of deformation at different rotation angles due to the distance to the detector leading to enlargement and reduction. With automatic isocenter calibration, only the diameter of the center ball corresponded with the actual one, the distance away from the center or the rotation angle was inversely proportional to measurement error (maximum magnification 12.42%).With sphere calibration, the measurement results in various regions at different rotation angle were basically the same, with smaller measurement error (maximum magnification 3.41%). Conclusion Placing the organ of interest in the center area can reduce image distortion in rotational DSA imaging. Selecting reasonable measuring technology according to the lesion location is helpful to control measurement errors.

Objective To investigate the effects of combined epidural block with inhalation - intravenous general anesthesia (GE) on stress response in thepatients for laparoscopic radical colonectomy. Methods Twenty-eight ASA I-II patients scheduled for laparoscopic radical colonectomy were randomly divided into group GE and inhalation-intravenous general anesthesia group(group G) with 14 cases each. In group GE, epidural blocks were operated before induction, MAP,ECG ,HR,SpO2 and PETCO2 were observed and recorded at such point-time: pre-pneumoperitoneum and 1,2,3 h after pneumoperitoneum. Arterial blood-gas analysis ,noradrenaline(NE) and adrenaline(E) were also measured at the same time; Group G was the same as group GE except for no epidural block and extra fentanyl. Results The level of stress response hormones(NE and E) of post- pneumoperitoneum 1,2,3 h were increased VS those of pre-pneumoperitoneum in both groups, and group G was significant (P
