Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gossypol acetic acid (GAA) on protein and mRNA expressions of hMLH1 gene in human tongue carcinoma cell line Tca8113 in vitro in order to discuss the mechanism of tumor suppression of GAA. Methods (1) Western-blot was used to study the effects of GAA on protein expressions of hMLH1 gene in Tca8113 cell line treated by different concentrations of GAA for 48 h. (2) Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RFQ-PCR) was used to investigate the effects on the mRNA expressions of hMLH1 gene in Tca8113 cell line treated by GAA for 48 h. Results (1) Compared with the control group, the results of Western-blot showed that the protein expression of hMLH1 gene was increased after treatment by GAA for 48 h ( <0.05) . (2) The results of RFQ-PCR indicated that the mRNA expression of hMLH1 gene was increased after GAA treatment for 48 h ( <0.05) . Conclusion GAA could up-regulate protein and mRNA expression of hMLH1 in Tca8113 cell line, which indicated that it may be one of the mechanisms of tumor suppression effect of GAA.

Objective:To study the effects of gossypol acetic acid(GAA)on the methylation level and the mRNA expression of hM-LH1 in human tongue cancer Tca8113 cells.Methods:Tca8113 cells were treated by GAA at various doses for 24 h,48 h and 72 h respectively.MTT assay was used to detect the cell proliferation.Nested methylation specific PCR(nMSP)was used to detect methyl-ation level of hMLH1 .Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RFQ-PCR)was applied to investigate the mRNA expression of hM-LH1 gene.Results:GAA inhibited the proliferation of Tca8113 cells dose-and-time dependently,decreased the DNA methylation level of hMLH1(P<0.05)and increased hMLH1 mRNA expression in Tca8113 cells(P<0.05).Conclusion:GAA can suppress proliferation of Tca8113 cells by demethylation of hMLH1 gene and increase of hMLH1 mRNA expression.

Based on ninety three acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) which have the same mechanism of action but are different in structural characteristics, the pharmacophore model for acetylcholinesterase inhibitor was constructed by the CATALYST system. The optimal pharmacophore model with three hydrophobic units, a ring aromatic unit and a hydrogen-bond acceptor unit were confirmed (Weight=3.29, RMS=0.53, total cost-null cost=62.75, Correl=0.93, Config=19.05). This pharmacophore model will act on the double active site of acetylcholinesterase and is able to predict the activity of known acetylcholinesterase inhibitors that are used for clinical treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and can be further used to identify structurally diverse compounds that have higher activity treating with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by virtual screening.

Objective To compare the immediate effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy with that of joint mobilization plus short wave therapy in treating scapulohumeral periarthritis, and to elucidate the mechanism of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and how it should be used. Methods Forty-seven patients diagnosed with scapulohumeral periarthritis were selected and randomized into two groups, a treatment group (n = 26) treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy, and a control group ( n = 21 ) treated with joint mobilization plus short wave therapy. The short form of the McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and range of motion (ROM) measurements were used to evaluate shoulder function. Results Compared with baseline, both groups improved significantly af-ter treatment, but the immediate effect in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group. Concln-sions As a safe, time-saving and effective therapy, extracorpnreal shock waves could be used to treat scapulo-humeral periarthritis.

ObjectiveTo study effect of Herba Erigerontis on metabolites in cerebral ischemia rats with high-resolution magic angle spinning 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(HR MAS 1H NMR). Methods18 male Wistar rats, weighing 150～200 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups such as normal (n=6), ischemia (n=6), Herba Erigerontis treatment (n=6). Rat ischemia model was established with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), reperfusing or dosed with Herba Erigerontis after 3 h ischemia. The metabolites, including N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine (Cre), choline (Cho), glutamate (Glu), and aspartate (Asp) etc., of cerebra and cerebella was observed using HR MAS 1H NMR. ResultsExcluding Cho, Glu, Asp, the concentrations of most metabolites of rat brain during ischemia were significantly lower than that of normal rats, and could be increased after drug treatment. ConclusionHerba Erigerontis shows positive effect on metabolites in cerebral ischemia rats.

Objective:To define the range and classification of adjuvant drugs. Methods:In order to explore the definition meth-od for the range and classification of adjuvant drugs, the information of definition and classification of adjuvant drugs was obtained by searching PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang database and medicine monographs such as Clinical Medication Notice, New Pharmacology and Martindale:The Complete Drug Reference. Results:The preliminary conclusion on definition, range and classification method for ad-juvant drugs was achieved. Adjuvant drugs were classified into ten categories, so that the adjuvant drugs in our hospital were super-vised. Conclusion:In order to promote the standardized management of clinical application of adjuvant drugs, the range and classifica-tion of adjuvant drugs still need further discussion and standardization.

Objective:To explore the efifcacy and safety for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of left bundle branch guided by left bundle potential (LBP), X-ray image with EnSiteNavX System in canine model.
Methods:The RFCA of left bundle branch was conducted in 13 dogs. A mapping catheter was positioned in right atrium to record right-sided His-bundle (R-His) potential, and an ablation catheter via right femoral artery was retrograded to left ventriclefor LBP mapping and ablation. Meanwhile, EnSiteNavX System was used to identify R-His, L-His and LBP at the same time. The potential characteristics in dogs with successful ablation were observed, the PR interval, QRS shape and time limit, AH interval, HV interval, the A/V electro-gram ratio in ablationcatheter at before and after ablation were recorded. The procedural time and X-ray exposure time between LBP with X-ray image method and LBP, X-ray image with EnSiteNavX System method were compared.
Results: There were 9/13 dogs received successful left bundle branch ablation, 3 dogs failed and 1 suffered from complete A-V block. At the successful ablation target site, the LBP-V was (17.8 ± 2.6) ms with the range of (13-21) ms, and the A/V electro-gram ratio<1/10. The procedural time and X-ray expose time were signiifcantly decreased in LBP, X-ray image with EnSiteNavX System method than those in LBP with X-ray image method P=0.007 and P<0.001.
Conclusion:Under the LBP, X-ray image with EnSiteNavX System guidance method, left bundle branch could be safely and effectively ablated to establish left bundle branch block (LBBB) model in experimental canine.

Objective To compare the serum peptidome spectrum between nephrotic syndrome patients and normal controls, and to search for their variations. Methods The serum peptide profiling was determined by ClinProt magnetic bead enrichment and matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in 17 mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) patients, 12 minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) patients, 10 membranous nephropathy (MN) patients, 10 focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) patients, and 10 healthy volunteers. Results 5 differentially expressed polypeptides were screened out between MsPGN and normal controls (15.28±7.61, P＜0.01). 7 differentially expressed polypeptides were screened out between MCNS and normal controls (2.16±1.59, P＜0.01). 6 differential expressed polypeptides were screened out between MN and normal controls (35.48±13.71, P＜0.01). 5 differential expressed polypeptides were screened out between FSGS and normal controls (18.06±8.07, P＜0.05). The statistical significance was set at P＜0.05. A Genetic Algorithm was used to set up the classification model between patients and normal controls. The model separated MsPGN, MCNS, MN and FSGS group from normal controls with a cross validation of 96.18%, 100%, 98.53% and 94.12%, respectively. The recognition capabilities were 100%.
