The glutamate dehydrogenase (EC.1.4.1.4) gene which amplified from the genome of Brevibacterium flavum GDK-9 by polymerase chain reaction was linked with pUCm-T for sequence alignment. Analysis of gdh sequences revealed that the whole sequence is 1927 bp, only one ORF existed, which used ATG as the initiation codon and coded a peptide of 448 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 48 kD. The comparability between the cloned gdh sequence to the reported sequence is high to 99.55%. Only the 1190th base mutation (C→A) lead to the change of amino acid sequence (Thr→Asn), the others are not. The recombinant plasmid pXG was then transformed into E. coli XL-Blue and Brevibacterium flavum GDK-9 which was induced by IPTG. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that there was a clear induced protein band with molecular mass of 48.7 kD on expected position. Standard glutamate fermentations indicated that although the level of GDH increases the intracellular glutamate pool, the level of GDH has no influence on glutamate secretion.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of dialysate contained Chinese herbs for replenishing qi and activating blood circulation on platelet membranous glycoprotein CD62P in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing hemodialysis.
METHODSForty patients underwent maintaining hemodialysis were randomly assigned to two groups, the Western medicated group (WMG) and the Chinese herbs group (CHG). The content of CD62P in all patients was detected by ELISA before and after hemodialysis.
RESULTSThe levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, potassium, hematocrit, platelet count and carbon dioxide combining power (CO2CP) as well as the expression of CD62P after treatment were significantly changed in both groups with significant difference as compared with those before treatment (both P < 0.05). And comparison between the two groups in expression of CD62P after treatment also showed significant difference (P < 0.05). But the improvement in TCM syndrome between the two groups was insignificantly different (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONHemodialysis with dialysate containing Chinese herbs of replenishing qi and activating blood circulation can decrease the expression of platelet membranous glycoprotein CD62P, which may be associated with the mechanism of Chinese herbs in treating CRF.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the management and prognosis of thyroid well-differentiated carcinoma invading the upper aerodigestive tract.
METHODSA retrospective analysis of the management was performed done 62 patients with thyroid well-differentiated carcinoma invading the upper aerodigestive tract. The main method of surgery was shaving excision, and the other means including partial thyrochondrectomy, total laryngectomy, sleeve tracheal resection, sternocleidomastoid myoperiosteal flap and myodermal flap reconstruction, or simply palliative excision. Some patients received postoperative radioactive isotope therapy and radiotherapy. All patients were followed-up for 2 to 15 years with an average of 6.5 years.
RESULTSThe best curative effect was proved in the patients with local invasion, with the lumen uninvolved and their locoregional control rate was 100.0% (17/17). And the second choice was in patients with more extensive involvement of the upper aerodigestive tract structures. For them, extensive surgical management was done attempting to remove all gross disease followed by reconstruction, their locoregional control rate was 87.5% (7/8). And the third place was designated to patients with local invasion for which shaving excision was performed even though minor residual disease was left, their locoregional control rate was 55.6% (5/9). The poorest result went to simple palliative excision. For 17 patients with minor residual tumor, the locoregional control rate of those who were given postoperative radioactive isotope therapy was significantly higher than those without.
CONCLUSIONAccording to the limits and degree of invasion in the upper aerodigestive tract by thyroid well-differentiated carcinoma, different ways of surgery is indicated. For patients with residual disease, radioactive isotope therapy should be used to improve the result and life quality. Advanced lesions should be given postoperative radio therapy.

Cellular senescence is one of the important steps against tumor. This study was to observe the characteristics of boningmycin induced senescence of human tumor cells. MIT method and clone formation assay were used to detect the growth-inhibitory effect. Cellular senescence was detected with senescence-associated beta-galactosidase staining. Cell cycle distribution and accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analyzed with flow cytometry. Protein expression was detected by Western blotting. The results showed that the growth-inhibitory effect of boningmycin was obviously stronger on human oral epithelial carcinoma KB cells than that on non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. Comparison to the similar action of doxorubicin, that boningmycin induced the features of cellular senescence in both cell lines, its due to the arrest at G2/M phase and an increase of ROS level. The molecular senescence marker P21 increased significantly after boningmycin treatment at a dosage of 0.1 micromol x L(-1), whereas a higher concentration of it induced apoptosis. The results indicated that cellular senescence induced by boningmycin was one of its mechanisms in tumor suppression.

The paper is aimed to study the dynamic accumulation regulation of curcumin (Cur), demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and bisdemethoxyeurcumin (BDMC) in three strains of Curcuma longa, and provide scientific references for formalized cultivation, timely harvesting, quality control and breeding cultivation of C. longa. The accumulation regulation of the three curcumin derivatives was basically the same in rhizome of three strains. The relative contents decreased along with plant development growing, while the accumulation per hectare increased with plant development growing. The accumulation of curcuminoids per hectare could be taken as the assessment standard for the best harvest time of C. longa. A3 was the best strain in terms of Cur and BDMC content.

Meckel diverticulum (MD), a congenital gastrointestinal anomaly, is often involved in pediatrics, but less in the adult population. The patient in this report was a 69-year-old female presented with massive gastrointestinal bleeding causing hemorrhagic shock due to MD containing ectopic pancreatic tissue. A review of the literature revealed that gastrointestinal bleeding from MD containing ectopic pancreatic tissue is rare in adults and difficult to be identified preoperation. MD should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis for lower gastrointestinal bleeding, although scarce in adults, especially when the patient has massive painless bleeding.
