AIM:To investigate the role of imperatorin in reversing the resistance of the PC 9 CD133+cell sub-sets to gefitinib.METHODS:MTT assay was performed to evaluate the viability of PC 9 cells treated with imperatorin and gefitinib.The expression of c-met, activation of caspases and phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), PI3K and AKT in the PC9 cells treated with imperatorin and gefitinib were determined by Western blot .The percentage of CD133 +cell subsets population and the apoptotic rate of the PC 9 cells treated with imperatorin and gefitinib were analyzed by flow cytometry .RESULTS:The sensitivity of the PC 9 CD133 +cell subsets to gefitinib was significantly lower than that of the PC9 CD133 -cell subsets.Treatment with gefitinib alone significantly inhibited the protein levels of EGFR /PI3K/AKT in the PC9 CD133 -cell subsets but not the PC 9 CD133 +cell subsets .Treatment with gefitinib alone increased the percentage of CD133 +cell subsets population in the PC9 cells.However, combination of gefitinib with imperatorin signifi-cantly inhibited the enrichment of CD 133 +cell subsets population .Imperatorin down-regulated c-met expression , sugges-ting the c-met was the target of imperatorin in the PC9 CD133 +cell subsets.The results of MTT assay, Western blot analy-sis and flow cytometry indicated that imperatorin increased the gefitinib induced inhibition of PI 3K/AKT protein levels by down-regulating the expression of c-met, which subsequently induced the cleavage of caspases and apoptosis in the PC 9 CD133 +cell subsets.CONCLUSION:Imperatorin increases the sensitivity of lung cancer CD 133 +cell subsets to gefitinib by down-regulating the expression of c-met, and the synergistic anti-tumor effect exists between imperatorin and gefitinib .

Purpose: To explore the clinical value of 99mTc-MIBI imaging in differentiating malignancies from benign breast masses. Methods: 195 patients underwent the examination for 99m Tc-MIBI. Comparative diagnosis was done by postoperative pathology in all cases. Results: 69 of the 84 cases of breast cancer were preoperatively diagnosed by 99mTc-MIBI, the causes of false-negative results were small size of the mass and the higher degree of malignancy. 102 of the 111 patients with benign lesions were scintimammographically negative, the cause of false-positive results was large fibroadenomas with surplus blood supply. The sensitivity was 82. 1%, specificity was 92.0%, and the diagnostic accuracy was 89.2%. Conclusions: 99mTc-MIBI examination is an effective, simple and noninvasive diagnostic method for primary breast cancer.

Objective To discuss the expression of tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis ( TWEAK) in serum, urine and renal tissue in lupus nephritis( LN) . Methods The serum and urine levels of TWEAK were assessed by ELISA in LN patients and normal controls. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of TWEAK in the kidney of patients and healthy controls. Results The serum and urine concentrations of TWEAK and MCP-1 were significantly higher in LN patients than those in healthy controls(P<0. 01). In addition,the level of serum TWEAK showed positive correlation with SLEDAI and negative correlation with serum C3 level ( P <0. 01),the expression of urine TWEAK showed positive correlation with SLEDAI (P<0. 05). In healthy renal tis-sues TWEAK was distributed mainly in renal tubules and rarely seen in glomerular while the expressions of TWEAK increased in renal tubular and glomeruli stainings were found in LN paitients. TWEAK could induce increased mac-rophage migration, may be involved in the pathological progression of lupus nephritis. Conclusion TWEAK may play key roles in the pathogenesis of LN. Meanwhile, TWEAK in serum and urine may be useful as markers of dis-ease activity. The change of TWEAK maybe associated with the pathology category of LN.

Objective:To investigate if injury-related myofibroblast induction could occur in bronchial epithelial cells and the role of TGF-?_1(rhTGF-?_1) in epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation. Methods:Cultured bronchial epithelial cells, 16HBE-14o, were exposed to poly-L-arginine(PLA). Using a immunohistochemical method, ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) expression was detected in those cells after being treated with PLA . Relative activity of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase(CAT) was assessed in 16HBE-14o cells, which were transiently transfected with VSMP8 plasmid containing ?-SMA promoter linked to CAT gene, at different time points after rhTGF-?_1(10 ?g/L) treatment. Results:①?-SMA positive, spindle-shaped cells emerged among the regenerated 16HBE-14o epithelial cells following damage. The number of ?-SMA positive 16HBE-14o cells increased and cell repair was delayed under rhTGF-?_1 stimulation.② CAT activity increased significantly in VSMP8 plasmid transfected 16HBE-14o cells 24 h after TGF-?_1 stimulation.

Objective To investigate the expression and the significance of AQP2 in the kidneys of septic rats. Methods Sixty-four Wistar rats of 6 weeks were randomly divided into two groups: sham group and the septic model group. Septic models were made by cecum ligation perforation (CLP). Fach group was divided into 3-hour,6-hour,12-hour and 24-hour subgroups,with 8 rats in each. The urine,blood and kidney sampies were collected. The urine volume ,urine osmotic pressure and renal function were observed. The expressions of AQP2 protein in rats' kidneys were determined by using immunohistochemical method and the expressions of AQP2 mRNA with real-time PCR. The pathological changes of the kidneys were observed under light microscopy. Results After CLP,urea volume of Wistar rats in septic model group decreased and urine osmotic pressure increased at 3 hours; urea volume gradually increased and urine osmotic pressure decreased at 6 hours; Serum Cr and urea nitrogen began to increase at 6 hours and reached the peak at 24 hours. The longer the time lasted after CLP,the more serious the injury of kidney became,which was mainly manifested as that the space between the epithelial cells of the tubular wall disappeared,nucleus disappeared,glomerular loops fused,and cell structure was unclear. Renal mesenchymal was infiltrated with inflammatory cells. AQP2 mRNA expression increased at 3 hours,decreased at 12 hours and 24 hours ,AQP2 protein expression decreased at 12 hours,with the lowest at 24 hours,which were significantly different from those of the sham groups(P<0.05). Conclusion AQP2 may regulate the water metabolism of septic rats' kidney. The decreased AQP2 protein expression is one of the main pathological mechanisms that results in dysfunction of urine concentration in sepsis.
