Current pathological diagnosis of glioma grades is difficult because of the existence of heterogeneity. The development of proteomics can be a good tool for high-flux screening protein marks related to glioma. The combination of multiple proteins may enhance detecting specificity and sensitivity for ghoma diagno-sis. And the proteomics may offer chances for glioma grading in molecular level,objectively evaluating biological characteristics of different tumor types ,judging prognosis,and studying new therapy drugs.

Objective: The fibrogenicity of fur dust was studied in rat lung tissues. Methods: Intratracheal instillation of fur dust, morphologic examination of lungs and analysis of collagen content were performed in Wistar rats. Results: Morphologic examination revealed that the earliest changes consisted of alveolar edema, increased numbers of intraalveolar macrophages, and marked thickening of interalveolar septa with mixed cellular infiltrate. After sixth months, there was moderate thickening of the alveolar walls and the peribronchioli. After 12 months, interstitial positive fibrosis of the alveolar wall and the peribronchioli were weakly seen. In the carding dust group (silica content 17.6%), interstitial nodules were observed composed of fibroblasts, reticular fibers, and collagen fibers. Electron microscopic examination also showed that alveolar walls became thickened and collagen fiber bundles were seen around bronchioles and small vessels in the carding groups after 12 months. At all stages of analysis, the collagen content in lungs of the fur dust groups was significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusions: Our study suggested that fur dust might induce weak interstitial fibrosis in the lung.

Objective To study the changes of proteome expression in brain tissues from rats with severe traumatic brain injury(sTBI). Methods Total protein of brain tissues were obtained at days 3,7 and 14 for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to screen and identify differential protein spots.Results We screened 17 differential protein spots that were involved in cellular metabolism,stress and inflammatory reaction. Conclusion Some differential proteins involved in sTBI can be found by twodimensional gel electrophoresis.

Objective To judge injury severity of severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) by using surface enhanced laser desorption-ionization (SELDI) protein chip technique. Methods Serum sam-ples from sTBI patients were used to detect expression of differential proteins by protein chip CM10 and SELDI to analyze the correlation between expression peak intensity and GCS. Results We obtained 101 protein peaks, with statistical difference upon expression of 27 protein peaks, when negative correla-tion was found between two peaks ( m/z 4 972 and m/z 5 322 ) and GCS score and positive correlation be-tween six peaks (m/z 3 941, m/z 4 295, m/z 8 714, m/z 8 792, m/z 14 020 and m/z 28 148) and GCS score. Conclusion SELDI protein chip technique may become a new and objective detection method in judging injury severity of sTBI.

Objective To locally inject human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to rat traumatic brain injury (TBI) model to investigate expression of neural markers and neurological functional improvement. Methods HUCB-MSCs were labeled by bis-benzimide for over 24 hours and stereotactically transplanted into the brain of the rats. All rats were divided into four groups, ie, sham injury group, TBI group, control (TBI + PBS) group and treatment (TBI + MSCs) group, Im-munohistochemical methods and immanofluorescence staining were used to observe the survival, migration and differentiation of the transplanted cells. The neurological functional improvement was evaluated by u-sing the neurological severity score (NSS). Results There existed a large number of MSCs survived in local region of the brain that received transplants, when some MSCs differentiated into neurons or astro-cytes and expressed the neurocyte markers including NSE and GFAP around the grafted site. Treatment group had significantly improved scores compared with sham injury group, TBI group and control group. Conclusions HUCB-MSCs transplantation can potentially improve neurological functional after TBI and may be a good alternative to bone marrow cells for stem cell transplantation or cell therapy.

Objective To explore the effect of psoralen on topoisomerase IIα(TopoIIα) expression of breast cancer stem cells.Methods CD44+CD24-/low breast cancer stem cells were sorted from MCF-7/ADR by magnetic-activated cell sorting(MACS).We observed the growth characteristics of these stem cells through optical microscope and detected the growth-inhibitory effects of psoralen on breast cancer stem cells by CCK-8 assay and IC50 of adriamycin and adriamycin combined with psoralen to calculate the reversal index.The mRNA and protein expressions of Topo IIα were detected using RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively.Results Under the optical microscope, breast cancer stem cells presented spheres.IC10 and IC20 of psoralen on breast cancer stem cells were (6.77±0.23)μg/mL and (10.36±0.21)μg/mL.IC50 of adriamycin and adriamycin combined with psoralen on breast cancer stem cells was (90.03±3.56)μg/mL and (21.47±0.82)μg/mL, the reversal index was 4.19.Psoralen significantly raised the expressions of Topo Ⅱα at mRNA and protein levels.Conclusion Psoralen reversed the resistance of adriamycin by increasing the gene and protein expressions of breast cancer stem cells Topo Ⅱα and the drug targets.

Nutrition studies were made on four divers performing a helium-oxygen saturation dive to a simulated depth of 200m in a hyperbaric chamber for about seven days. Daily intake of food was surveyed by regular weighing method and its calories and nutrients were calculated from Chinese food composition table. Fasting blood and 24h urine samples were collected on several occasions before, during and after the dive for estimation of free amino acid, nitrogen and minerals. Vitamin load test was conducted for evaluation of vitamin status. The results showed that during the dive intakes of cereal, meat and oil of divers were decreased, but vegetable, fruit and beverage intakes increased. An average body weight loss of 1.75 kg was found after a 7-day period, but little changes in the body fat. Free amino acid levels of serum and urinary output were reduced, especially the essential amino acids. The urinary excretion of minerals was in an acceptable range, but thiamin decreased markedly and not returned to an acceptable range until 10 days after leaving the hyperbaric chamber.

BACKGROUND:Breast cancer stem cells not only lead to theoccurrence of breast cancer, but also may cause breast cancer metastasis and recurrence. The relationship between stem cells and cell resistance is also gaining increasing attentions, and the focus on the stem cell treatment may result in unexpected results.OBJECTIVE:To explore the reversal effect of psoralen on glutathione-S-transferase π (GST-π) in human breast cancer MCF-7/ADR cells and its mechanism.METHODS:MCF-7/ADR cells were cultured and enriched in serum-free medium to obtain breast cancer stem cells.RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the expression of GST-π at the levels of gene and protein in the MCF-7/ADR cells after treatment with 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 mg/L psoralen. To observe the activation of nuclear factor-κB,western blot was used. The expression of GST-π was detected by RT-PCR in 18 μmol/L SN50 group and 8 mg/L psoralen group. Cell counting kit-8 assay was used to detect the effect of doxorubicin on cell proliferation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, psoralen reduced the expression of GST-π at the mRNA and protein levels, and significantly inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-κB. It was suggested that psoralen could reverse the multidrug resistance of human breast cancer MCF-7/ADR stem cells by decreasing the expression level of GST-π. The mechanism may be achieved by inhibiting the nuclear factor-κB signal pathway.

OBJECTIVE To detect the expression of the Glucocorticoid receptor-?(GR-?)mRNA in nasal polyp and normal nasal mucosa and investigate the route of nasal drug administration in patients of nasal polyp. METHODS The expression of GR-?mRNA in 101 samples of nasal polyps and 31samples of normal nasal mucosa was examined by using Fluorescent quantitative PCR .RESULTS The level of GR-?mRNA in normal nasal mucosa(135.4? 5.25)?104 copy /?g were significantly higher than that in nasal polyps(23.5?12.1)?104 copy/?g . CONCLUSION Because of the low expression of GR-?mRNA in nasal polyps,the route of nasal drug administration in patients with nasal polyps may be in the part of normal mucosa,not in the mucosa of nasal polyps of the nasal cavity.
