OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Akt inhibitor MK-2206 on the proliferation and apoptosis of lung adenocarcino-ma A549 cells. METHODS:The optical density of A549 cells was detected by MTT assay after treated with 0(blank control),0.5, 1,2.5,5,10,20 and 30 μmol/L MK-2206 for 24 h;after pretreatment with 0(blank control),5,10 and 20 μmol/L MK-2206 for 24 h,morphological changes of A549 cells were observed with inverted microscope. Cell cycle and apoptosis rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the expression of cell cycle-related proteins Cyclin D1,p21 and p27 and apopto-sis-related protein PARP(cf-PARP),cf-caspase-3,Bcl-2 and Bax. RESULTS:Compared with blank control,the optical density of A549 cells decreased,cells shrank and presented vesicular state after treatment of MK-2206;A549 cells arrested in G0/G1 stage, the protein expression of p21 and p27 strengthened while that of Cyclin D1 decreased;the apoptotic rate of cells increased,the ex-pression of cf-PARP,cf-caspase-3 and Bax in cells increased while that of Bcl-2 decreased. All reponse were in concentration-de-pendant manner (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:MK-2206 can inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells,and induce the apoptosis of A549 cells by adjusting the expression of activating caspase-3,down-regulating Bcl-2 and up-regulating Bax.

Objective To discuss the problem of upper respiratory tract infection presenting various clinical manifestations in adults thereby likely making misdiagnosis and to put forth the patients with the symptom of acute abdominal pain as examples in order to caution emergency physicians to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment.Methods Data of 58 adult patients with upper respiratory tract infection were collected from January 2010 to December 2011.The chief complain of these patients was acute abdominal pain.After analysis of data including clinical history,symptoms and signs,laboratory findings and medication,patients were divided into two groups post hoc:correctly diagnosed group (group A) and misdiagnosed group (group B).In group A,anti-chill medicine such as tylenol cold tablets (a compositus of paracetamol,pseudoephedrine hydrochloride,dextromethorphan and chlorpheniramine) was given to patients,while in group B,anisodamine (muscarine cholinergic blocker) and antibiotics were given instead of anti-chill medicine.The anti-chill medicine such as tylenol cold tablets would be given to patients of group B when abdominal pain was not released 8-48 hours after treatment.The course of treatment and outcome of patients in the two groups were observed.Results Of 28 patients in group A,27 had abdominal pain relieved or disappeared 2-3 hours after treatment and only 1 patient had abdominal pain lasted 12 hours after treatment.Of 30 patients in the group B,only 2 patients presenting the symptom of acute gastroenteritis got totally relived 2-3 hours after treatment,while the rest of 28 patients did not get rid of abdominal pain,or only had brief period of painlessness after anisodamine injection.Alternatively,8-48 hours later as Tylenol Cold Tablets was given to patients of group B,the abdominal pain was relieved or disappeared after 2-3 hours without recurrence in 2-48 hours.Conclusions Upper respiratory tract infection manifests diversely in adults,and acute abdominal pain could be a main clinical manifestation.Anti-chill medicine,such as tylenol cold tablets,has a noticeably therapeutic effect for acute abdominal pain caused by upper respiratory tract infection in adults,while anisodamine injection makes poor efficacy.

Objective To analyze right ventrieular diastolic dysfunction in essential hypertension by quantitative tissue velocity imaging(QTVI). Methods Twenty normotensives and forty-five hypertensives underwent standard Doppler echocardiography and QTVI of right ventricular lateral tricuspid annulus. By QTVI,diastolic measurements were obtained. According to WHO standard, the patients with hypertension were classified into three groups, grade Ⅰ (group Ⅰ) 15 cases, grade Ⅱ(group Ⅱ) 15 cases, grade Ⅲ (group Ⅲ) 15 cases. Results Pulsed Doppler eehocardiography showed impaired Doppler diastolic indexes in hypertensives, without changes among the eases groups. In all hypertension groups, QTVI showed reduction of right ventricular Ea, increase of Aa and Ea/Aa<1 comparison with controls. IVRT of Ⅱ, Ⅲgroups was longer than normal. Conclusions Right ventricular diastolic function with essential hypertension decreased according to the degree of staging. QTVI has a greater predictive value than conventional imaging, and is useful for evaluating right ventricular function in patients with essential hypertension.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA),and inhibitors for vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT) on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT),norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) and the expressions of tryptophan hydroxylase (TpH) mRNA,dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DβH) mRNA and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) mRNA in PC12 cells.Methods The cell viability was determined using MTT assay, the density of 5-HT, NE and DA was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and the expressions of TpHmRNA,DβHmRNA and THmRNA were detected using RT-PCR in PC12 cells at different time points (0,12,24,36,48 h )after exposure to different concentrations of 6-OHDA(25,50,100,200 μmol/L),and VMAT inhibitors,reserpine (50,100,400,1600 nmol/L),which combined with 6-OHDA( 100 μmol/L).Results (1)The cell viability declined with the increasing concentration of 6-OHDA which showed time dependence.The cell viability in PC12 cell which treated with reserpine decreased significantly in the responding group.The density of 5-HT in PC12 cell did not decrease with the increasing concentration of 6-OHDA,but the change had the time dependence,and the density of 5-HT was lowest at 36 h.The density of NE decreased with the increasing concentration of 6-OHDA which showed time dependence. The density of DA in PC12 cell decreased with the increasing concentration of 6-OHDA,but the change did not have the time dependence.The density of 5-HT,NE and DA in PC12 cell which treated with reserpine decreased significantly in the responding group. (2) The expressions of TpHmRNA, DβHmRNA and THmRNA in PC12 cell decreased with the increasing concentration of 6-OHDA which showed time dependence.The expressions of TpHmRNA(0.006 ± 0.001,0.003 ± 0.000,0.003 ± 0.000,0.002 ± 0.000) ; DβHmRNA (0.005 ± 0.002,0.003 ± 0.001,0.002 ±0.001,0.001 ± 0.000) and THm RNA (0.005 ± 0.002,0.003 ± 0.001,0.002 ± 0.001,0.001 ± 0.000) in PC12 cell which treated with reserpine decreased significantly in the responding group(F =13.336,9.000,9.393,all P =0.000).Conclusions6-OHDA can decrease the cell viability in PC12 cell,reduce the density of 5-HT,NE and DA and decrease the expressions of TpHmRNA,DβHmRNA and THmRNA,and the effects have dose and time dependence.Reserpine can aggravate this damage.

The antioxidative capability and Na+-K+-ATPase α1-subunit mRNA expression in myocardium of hypothyroid rats induced by low-iodine diet were observed. The results showed that the antioxidative capability of myocardium decreased, resulting in lipid peroxidative damage, atrophy of myocardial cells and chondrification of tunica intima, along with decreased expression of sodium pump α1 subunit mRNA in hypothyroid rats.

OBJECTIVE To discover diversity of X gene sequences of hepatitis B virus isolates in hepatitis B induced liver cirrhosis patients and HBV carriers.METHODS DNA fragment including X gene sequences of hepatitis B virus was amplified,sequencing PCR products was preformed.The PCR products of three liver cirrhosis patients and three HBV symptomless carriers were cloned into pGEMT Easy vectors.Positive clones with target sequences were selected out for sequencing.Sequence comparison was made to find the identity.RESULTS A comparison of T1762/A1764,G1719T,T1727G/A,G1730C and T1753C mutations in a core promoter between the liver cirrhosis patients and the HBV carriers showed that the HBV isolates from the former had higher frequencies of mutation than the latter.The X promoter region of the HBV isolates from the liver cirrhosis patients showed higher frequencies of mutation than the isolates from the HBV carriers.Additionally,the homology between clones of X gene from one individual with liver cirrhosis averages 91.3-99.7%,that of HBV carriers averages 96-100%.CONCLUSIONS The core and X promoter region of the HBV isolates from the liver cirrhosis patients show the higher frequencies of mutation than the isolates from the HBV carriers.There are HBV quasispecies which possess great variation in the liver cirrhosis patients.

Objective To study the effect of glutamate on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and protein in cultured rat astrocytes. Methods Cultured rat astrocytes were randomly divided into 6 groups: control group (C), glutamate group (G), QA group (Q), DCG-IV group (D), L-AP4 group (L) and glutanmte-FMCPG gronp (G+M). Cells were cultured under nomoxic condition (95% air, 5% CO2). RT-PCR and ELISA methods were used to detect the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein in cultured astrocytes, respectively. G+ M group was preincubated with lmM MCPG for 30 min prior to the stimulation with glutamate. There were 7 time points at 0,4,8,12,16,24 and 48 h in each group except G+M group. Results The expression of VEGF mRNA and protein did not differ significantly among D group, L group and C group. Different from that in C group, the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein could be enhanced both in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner in G group and Q group. Meanwhile, the enhanced expression of VEGF mRNA and protein in G group was completely suppressed by MCPG after 24 h. Conclusion Glutamate can increase the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein in cultured astrocytes, which may be due to the activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors in astrocytes.
