OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the expression of MCM2, Ki-67 and Rb and its biological characteristic in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas(LSCC).
METHOD:
The expression of MCM2 protein and Rb protein were detected in 60 cases of LSCC, 10 cases of precarcinoma, 10 cases of vocal cord polyps and 10 cases of normal laryngeal tissues, and Ki-67 protein were detected in 60 cases of LSCC and 10 cases of normal laryngeal tissues by Elivision plus immunohistochemical staining, and analyze their relations with clinicopathological characteristics.
RESULT:
The positive expression rate of MCM2 in LSCC was significantly higher than that in precarcinoma and normal laryngeal tissues (P < 0.05), and was positively correlated with pathological grades, clinical stages and lymph node metastases (P < 0.05) of LSCC. The positive expression rate of Rb protein in LSCC was significantly lower than that in precarcinoma and normal laryngeal tissues (P < 0.05). The expression level of MCM2 in LSCC was negatively corelated with Rb (r = -0.542, P < 0.05), the expression level of Ki-67 in LSCC (76.67%) was significantly higher than that in normal laryngeal tissues (30.00%) (P < 0.01) and the expression level of MCM2 in LSCC was positively corelated with Ki-67(r = 0.596, P < 0.01). The LI of MCM2 in the 3-year survival rate of LSCC was significantly lower than that in Ki-67 (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Over expression of MCM2 and loss of Rb protein were related to the carcinogenesis and development of LSCC. The determination of MCM2 can be an index for estimating the level of malignancy and prognosis of LSCC.

OBJECTIVETo explore the possible mechanism and protective effect of BMSCs (bone mesenchymal stem cells) carrying superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene on mice with paraquat-induced acute lung injury.
METHODSTo establish the cell line of BMSCs bringing SOD gene, lentiviral vector bringing SOD gene was built and co-cultured with BMSCs. A total of 100 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups, namely Control group, poisoning group (PQ group) , BMSCs therapy group (BMSC group) , BMSCs-Cherry therapy group (BMSC-Cherry group) , BMSCs-SOD therapy group (BMSC-SOD group) . PQ poisoning model was produced by stomach lavaged once with 1 ml of 25 mg/kg PQ solution, and the equal volume of normal saline (NS) was given to Control group mice instead of PQ. The corresponding BMSCs therapy cell lines were delivered to mice through the tail vein of mice 4h after PQ treatment.Five mice of each group were sacrificed 3 d, 7 d, 14 d and 21 days after corresponding BMSCs therapy cell lines administration, and lung tissues of mice were taken to make sections for histological analysis. The serum levels of glutathione (GSH) , malondialdehyde (MDA) , SOD, and the levels of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in lung tissue were determined. The level of SOD was assayed by Westen-blot.
RESULTSCompared with Control group, the early (3 days) levels of SOD protein in lung tissue of PQ group obviously decreased, and the late (21 days) levels of SOD obviously increased, while in therapy groups, that was higher than that in PQ group, and the BMSCs-SOD group showed most obvious (all P<0.05) . Compared with Control group, the levels of plasma GSH and SOD of PQ group and each therapy group wae significantly lower than those in Control group, while in therapy groups, those were higher than those of PQ group, and the BMSCs-SOD group showed most obvious (all P<0.05) .Compared with Control group, the level of plasma MDA, TNF-α and TGF-β in PQ group and therapy groups were significantly higher, while in therapy groups, that was lower than that in PQ group, and the BMSCs-SOD group showed most obvious (all P<0.05) . Lung biopsy showed that, the degree of lung tissue damage in each therapy group obviously reduced.
CONCLUSIONSOD is the key factor of the removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells, that can obviously inhibit the oxidative stress damage and the apoptosis induced by PQ, thus significantly increasing alveolar epithelial cell ability to fight outside harmful environment.

Objective To establish a method for analyzing total polysaccharide content and its monosaccharide composition in the caulis polygoni multiflori mixture. Methods The polysaccharides of the caulis polygoni multiflori mixture were extracted by water-extraction and alcohol-precipitation. After the treatment with phenol-sulfuric acid, the content of total polysaccharides in the preparation was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. In addition, after the polysaccharide was hydrolyzed into monosaccharides wtih trifluoroacetic acid, the hyrolysate was derivatized with PMP, and then the PMP derivates of monosaccharides were analyzed by HPLC method. Yilite krosmasil C18(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) was used at 30 ℃. Acetonitrile-0.1% NaH2PO4 (pH=6.8) (16:84) was the moblie phase with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The detecting wavelength was at 250 nm. The injection volume was 20 μl. Results concentration of D-anhydrous glucose in the range of 21 ~ 105 μg/ml had a good linear relationship with the absorbance. The linear regression equation was A= 0.007x+0.0105, r=0.9982. The average recovery rate was (100.45±1.57)% (n=6). The average contents of total polysaccharides in four batches of samples were 14.24, 21.09, 17.85 and 18.17 mg/ml. The polysaccharide of the caulis polygoni multiflori mixture mainly consisted of D-mannose, D-glucosamine D-hydrochloride, D-Galacturonic acid, D-glucose, galactose, L-arabinose. The monosaccharides peak area ratios were about 9.10:0.26:1.00:3.02:4.14:2.12. Conclusion The method is accurate and reliable, and can be used for the determination of total content of polysaccharides and the analysis of monosaccharide composition in the preparation.
