Background It is widely appreciated that many animal cells rely on the mechanism of regulatory volume decrease (RVD) after swell under the hypotonic environment,which involved in some processes of cellular physiology.But the RVD of lens epithelial cells(LECs) still is being further researched.Objective Present study was to clarify the possible mechanisms and influencing factors in the RVD of LECs.Methods Human LECs line (HLE B-3)were cultured and passaged in DMEM/F12 containing 10% fetal bovine serum(FBS),and before volume measurement,cells were stuck to the base of a perfusion chamber,Ringer solution osmolality was decreased from 15%Hypo to 45% Hypo,and the cells stimulated by 45% Hypo Ringer solution were used as the control group.Some experiments were performed in the presence of high extracellular K+ concentration,chloride or potassium channel inhibitor,experiments were also carried out in the nominal absence of Ca2+,Cl-or HCO-3 to test the effect of a decrease in intracellular concentration of these ions on the cell volume response.The volume changes of living cells were measured by lag-time microphotograph acquisition and analysis system (IPP6.0).Results Time course of cell volume change after hypotonic shock in HLE B-3 cells was observed.The cell swelling was followed by a gradual volume recovery,indicating the presence of RVD was influenced by the hypotonic stress.Under the stimulation of 45 %Hypo Ringer solution,the rates of RVD were (59.1 ±7.8)%.RVD was correlated positively to the maximum cell volume (r =0.99,P<0.05)in S shape,and RVD changes were sensitive to alter maximum cell volume in the range of 115%-135%.RVD reduced to (16.5 ± 1.6) %,(14.7 ± 2.3) %,respectively after acted by potassium channel inhibitor,TEA(10 mmol/L)and BaCl2(5 mmol/L)as well as chloride channel inhibitor,NPPB(100 μmol/L)and DIDS(100 μmol/L),with significant differences in comparison with the control group(all P<0.01).RVD decreased by(5.8±1.6)% and(2.7±0.8)% in high concentration of K+ in extracellular fluid and the absence of Cl-(P<0.01).RVD was significantly inhibited under the absence of Ca2+.When the 45% Ringer solution was pH6.8,the process of RVD delayed.The rate of RVD in the first ten minutes was (0.86±0.24)%/min,showing a significant decline in comparison with (3.24±0.84) % / min of pH 7.4 (P <0.05).Conclusions HLE B-3 have RVD ability under the hypotonic stress stimulation.A certain intracellular Ca2+ concentration is the premise of RVD activation,and Cl efflux and K+ efflux are the key mechanism of RVD of HLE B-3.Acidic environment of hypotonic solution delays the occurrence of RVD.

The study of neuronal activity with low frequency has shown an increasing interest for its greater stability and reliability recent years. One challenge in analyzing this kind of activity is to find similarities and differences between signals efficiently and effectively. The traditional analysis methods, such as short-time Fourier transform, are easily obscured by background noises and often involve a large number of parameters. Therefore, this paper introduces a novel time-frequency analysis method based on wavelet transformation and half-ellipsoid modeling to extract instantaneous frequency and instantaneous phase information. This method overcomes some shortcomings of conventional time-frequency analysis. In this method, wavelet transformation is used to provide high-level representations of raw signals, and parsimonious half-ellipsoid models are used to extract changes in time domain and frequency domain of neural recordings. The method was validated to local field potentials (LFPs) of olfactory bulb of anesthetized rats during three different odor stimuli. The results suggested that this method could detect odor-relevant features from olfactory signals with large variability. The Odors then were classified with support vector machine (SVM) algorithm and the classification accuracy reached 79.4%.

The controversial results of several studies suggest that certain everyday-use chemicals may be linked to breast cancer. ln recent years, extensive researches have been carried out to under-stand breast carcinogenesis and the hedgehog(Hh) signaling pathway has emerged as a critical determi-nant of human breast cancer. Aberrant Hh signaling in adults results in carcinogenesis, angiogenesis, and metastasis. This review is focused on the Hh signaling pathway and chemicals in the regulation of breast cancer development and provide an updated survey of pre-clinical and clinical trials of novel strategies to target them.

JB25 and JB26 are new HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and show potent anti-HIV activities. Sequential passage experiments with wild-type virus were performed to select and identify mutations induced by these two compounds in vitro. For the initial passage, compounds were present at approximately 2-fold IC50 in MT-2 cells. When cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed in more than 75% of the cells, the culture supernatants were collected. For the subsequent passages, fresh MT-2 cells were infected with 1 mL supernatants from the previous passage (regardless of the virus titer) and cultured in the presence of the compounds at concentrations that were increased 2-fold compared with that in the previous passage. This procedure was repeated with increasing concentrations for 12 passages. JB25 had amino acid substitution L100I (TTA-->ATA) at passage 6, and then changed into 100 M (ATA-->ATG) at passage 12, which was rare mutation form and had not been reported. At the same time, Y188C (TAT-->TGT) mutation appeared at passage 10. For JB26, there was a L100I (TTA-->ATA) mutation at passage 10. In a word, JB25 and JB26 showed a low genetic barrier to the development of resistance, and the resistance to JB26 developed slower than JB25. The mutations selected by JB25 and JB26 were mainly associated with codons 188 and 100 of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
