OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of serglycan (SRGN) on drug resistance of ovarian cancer and its mechanism. METHODS: Gene expression profile interactive analysis tool (GEPIA) was used to extract related data set of ovarian cancer and analyze the difference of mRNA expression of SRGN between normal ovary tissue and ovarian cancer tissue. Gene expression database (GEO) was adopted to obtain the difference of the mRNA expression of SRGN in cisplatin sensitive and cisplatin resistant cell lines (A2780). STRING online database was used to screen proteins interacting with SRGN (confidence degree: 0.900, interactors: 10). Adopted biological information annotation database (DAVID) to analysis Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomers(KEGG)metabolism pathway to predict the potential pathways of SRGN regulating drug resistance of ovarian cancer. Medical ontology information retrieval platform COREMINE was used to mine the biological processes of significant relationship of SRGN and ovarian cancer with drug resistance. RESULTS: mRNA expression of SRGN in ovarian cancer tissue was significantly higher than normal ovarian tissue (P<0.05). mRNA expression of SRGN in cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer was significantly higher than cisplatin sensitive ovarian cancer (P<0.001). 10 proteins interacting with SRGN were screened, including albumin, transforming growth factor β1, platelet factor 4, fibrinolysin and vascular endothelial growth factor A. SRGN participated in KEGG metabolism pathway of regulating drug resistance of ovarian cancer, including HIF1α pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor pathway, coagulation and complement cascades pathway, etc. Biological processes included gene expression, cell growth, apoptosis and cell death. CONCLUSION: SRGN mediates drug resistance of ovarian cancer, which is associated with HIF1α signaling pathway and cytokine-cytokine receptor pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the impact of revised version of GBZ 49-2014 Diagnostic of Occupational Noise-induced Deafness on the diagnosis of occupational noise-induced deafness( ONID). METHODS: A total of 77 patients applied for ONID diagnosis and identification were selected as study subjects by judgment sampling method. The pure tone audiometry data were collected and diagnosed based on the criteria of GBZ 49-2014 and GBZ 49-2007 Diagnostic Criteria of Occupational Noise-induced Deafness. The changes of the diagnostic audiometry and the ONID diagnostic classification were compared. RESULTS: The monaural threshold of weighted value of the good ear calculated by GBZ 49-2014 was higher than the speech frequency threshold average of the good ear of GBZ 49-2007 [( 32. 4 ± 10. 3) vs( 29. 8 ± 10. 6) dB,P <0. 01]. The binaural high frequency threshold average calculated by GBZ 49-2014 was higher than that of GBZ 49-2007[( 50. 5 ± 13. 3) vs( 49. 1 ± 13. 6) dB,P < 0. 01]. The ONID diagnosis conclusions diagnosed by using GBZ 49-2014 and GBZ 49-2007 were consistent( Kappa value = 0. 92,P < 0. 01). There was statistical difference in the ONID diagnostic classifications diagnosed by using GBZ 49-2014 and GBZ 49-2007( P < 0. 05). Three ONID patients diagnosed as non ONID by GBZ 49-2007 were diagnosed as mild ONID by using GBZ 49-2014,and five cases diagnosed as mild ONID by GBZ 49-2007 were diagnosed as moderate ONID by using GBZ 49-2014. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic audiometry calculated based on GBZ 49-2014 is higher than that based on GBZ 49-2007. The number of ONID patients increased and the diagnostic classification became serious when the diagnosis was made based on GBZ 49-2014.
6.Research Progress on the Development and Regulation of Embryonic Hematopoietic Stem Cells.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2015;32(5):1141-1145
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are tissue specific stem cells that replenish all mature blood lineages during the lifetime of an individual. Hematopoietic cell clusters in the aorta of vertebrate embryos play a pivotal role in the formation of the adult blood system. Recently, people have learned a lot about the embryonic HSCs on their development and homing. During their differentiation, HSCs are regulated by the transcription factors, such as Runx1 and Notch signaling pathway, etc. MicroRNAs also regulate the self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells on the post-transcriptional levels. Since the onset of circulation, the formation of HSCs and their differentiation into blood cells, especially red blood cells, are regulated by the hemodynamic forces. It would be of great significance if we could treat hematologic diseases with induced HSCs in vitro on the basis of fully understanding of hemotopoietic stem cell development. This review is focused on the advances in the research of HSCs' development and regulation.

Hyperuricemia is a risk factor for various diseases, but knowledge on acute hyperuricemia is still not sufficient. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of acute hyperuricemia on red blood cells from hemorheological point of view, and to provide the reference for clinical treatment. The rats were gavaged with 500 mg/kg hypoxanthine and intraperitoneally injected with 100 mg/kg oxonate to induce the model of acute hyperuricemia. The same volume of blood samples were drawn within time period of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 6 h, respectively, from the inner canthus of rats to measure the serum uric acid, hemorheological parameters and the malondialdehyde level. It was found that in each period of 1, 2 and 3 h, the rats had significantly higher levels of uric acid. The integrated deformation index and relax index were increased. The hemolysis rate was significantly reduced. The plasma malondialdehyde level was obviously decreased at the end of 2 h. The results suggested that short-term elevated uric acid could improve the hemorheological parameters and the lipid oxidative level in red blood cells.
