    Objective To study the roles of actin and associated molecules in the control of human breast cancer cells malignant behaviors in vitro and in vivo. Methods A highly metastatic human breast cancer cell line BICR-H1 was compared with another breast cancer cell line MCF-7, which was well differentiated and non-metastatic. Western blot, immunofluorescence, gelatin zymography analysis and a chick embryonic chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay were used in this research. 5~30μg cisplatin or MMP-2 C terminal PEX domain were injected i.v. in CAM. Results BICR-H1 expressed high level of CD44, which was closely associated with actin aggregates at the bottom side of attached cells. It was also shown with MMP-2 activity. On the contrary, MCF-7 cells showed weak disruption of actin cytoskeleton structures and few actin aggregates. It expressed low or minimal level of CD44 and MMP-2. The expression of CD44 was down-regulated in cisplatin-treated BICR-H1 cells, and the activity of MMP-2 was also decreased upon PEX treatment. Both cell lines could form tumors in CAM, but only BICR-H1 cells could metastasize to distant tissues. Cisplatin inhibited the growth of BICR-H1 and MCF-7 cells in a time and dose dependent manner in CAM. The lung metastatic foci of BICR-H1 cells treated with 30μg cisplatin reduces from 30±15/embryo (PBS group) to 8±6/embryo, and the same dose of PEX can completely inhibits BICR-H1 metastasis. Conclusions It is concluded that actin cytoskeleton,CD44 and MMP-2 (ACM)molecular linkage is associated with breast cancer metastatic phenotypes, and that both cisplatin and PEX can interfere with the ACM molecular linkage, resulting in the suppression of both tumor growth and metastasis.

    Objective To study the property and function of p57 protein, finding the plasma membrane binding sites of p57. Methods The distributions of the wild-type p57 and its mutants in cells were observed by fluorescence microscopy. The blowing crack technology was used to detect the binding between the wild-type p57 and its mutants with plasma membrane. Differential centrifugation technology was used to prepare subcellular components and the contents of p57 in subcellular components were detected by Western blot. Results It was found that the fragment 386-461 of p57 has a similar distribution in cells and similar plasma membrane binding abilility as the intact protein, but the fragment 1-299 or 1-432 hasn’t. Overexpression of the fragment 386-461 can compete the membrane binding site with the intact p57. Conclusion The C-terminal domain containing the fragment 386-461 is responsible for the binding of p57 to plasma membrane.

    Objective To investigate the protective effects of NF-кB P65 active expression during sevoflurane preconditioning on rat myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo. Methods Seventy-eight male adult SD rats weighing 270-390g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium 50mg/kg, tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated. PaCO2 was maintained at 25-40 mm Hg. Their chests were opened and hearts exposed. I/R was produced by reversible occlusion of left anterior descending branch (LAD) of coronary artery for 30 min followed by 2h reperfusion. Seventy-eight animals were randomly divided into 13 groups (n=6): (A) sham group;Rats received no ischemic-reperfusion. (B) Simple-Ischemic group;Rats were experienced myocardium ischemia-reperfusion merely. (C) Parthenolide (PTN) group;Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB) inhibitor PTN (500μg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally(IP). (D) Sevoflurane-I/R group;Rats received 2.5% sevoflurane for 30 min and 15 min wash-out followed by a 30 minutes occlusion and 2h reperfusion. (E) PTN+sevoflurane-I/R group;PTN administered IP 15 min before exposure to sevoflurane. (F) Sevoflurane-I/R+PTN group;PTN administered IP after sevoflurane preconditioning. Myocardium sample of all groups were collected before the time of myocardial ischemia and after the time of myocardial ischemia reperfusion respectively. In addition, (G) Sevoflurane group;Rats were received 2.5% sevoflurane for 30 min and then collected myocardium sample after 165 min. NF-κB P65 was determined by Western Blot analysis. Results Myocardium sample of all groups were collected before the time of myocardial ischemia: the expression of NF-κB P65 protein was significantly up-regulated in Sevoflurane-I/R group as compared to that of the sham group. Myocardium sample of all groups were collected after myocardial ischemia reperfusion: the expression of NF-κB P65 protein was significantly up-regulated in Simple-Ischemic group than that in the sham group and the expression of NF-κB P65 protein was significantly down-regulated in Sevoflurane-I/R group, sham group, SEVO group, PTN group, SEVO-I/R+PTN group and PTN+SEVO-I/R group as compared to that of Simple-Ischemic group. Conclusion Sevoflurane preconditioning has protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion myocardial injury in rats.

    Objective Recently reasearch suggests that Nogo A expressed by oligodendrocytes and its receptor NgR may be involved in the etiology of neurophology of PKU or Hyperphenylalaninemia as an inhibitors, yet the action of Nogo A expressed by neuron is still not known. And whether its the specific antagonist to NgR (NEP1-40) can affect its expression. So the study was designed to investigate the effect by NEP1-40 on Nogo A in high phenyalanine(Phe) in vitro. Methods Cells was dissected from the cerebral cortex of E16~E18 embryos of SD rat, Real-time PCR and Western-Blot were used to evaluate the mRNA and protein of Nogo A respectively. The growth cones, axon and the Nogo A location were performed by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry respectively. Results Compared to the control, The mRNA and protein level of Nogo A with Phe for 12h, 24h and 48h were slightly reduced. NEP1-40 can upregulate expression of Nogo A on neuron in the high Phe condition with high level, but has no act on normal neuron. Conclusion NEP1-40 can promote expression of Nogo A on neuron in high Phe, which can help the neuron grow.

    Objective In this study,the clinical and genetic characteristics of a Chinese boy with childhood hypophosphatasia was analyzed, and genetic mechanism and genotype-phenotype correlation discussed. Methods According to the clinical manifestation and laboratory findings, the preliminary diagnose of hypophosphatasia was given to the patient. Furthermore, genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes of the patient, his family members and 50 ethnically matched, unrelated controls. All the 12 exons and ?anking intron sequences of the ALPL gene were ampli?ed by PCR. Direct DNA sequence analysis was performed by automated DNA sequencing. Results Sequence analysis of PCR products in the proband indicated that HPP originated from the heterozygous mutations c.18delA and c.G407C of the ALPL gene. The c.18delA mutation results in frameshift and premature termination of the translation. The predicted truncated protein (p.V7YfsX18) lacks almost all the crucial regions for the enzyme function and bone mineralization. The nucleotide transition G>C at position 407 resulted in an amino acid exchange from arginine 136 to praline. Both of the two mutations were not detected in 50 normal controls and not reported previously. After searching PubMed and the TNSALP gene mutations database, both of the two mutations were not reported previously. Pedigree analysis showed that the c.18delA and c.G407C had been inherited from the proband’s mother and father, respectively. In addition, his grandmother was also found carring the mutation c.G407C. According to the family pedigree, the disease was transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. Conclusion The two novel mutations c.18delA and c.G407C in ALPL gene may provide new insights into the pathological mechanism and clinical manifestation of this rare disease.

    Objective To investigate the potential of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUC-MSCs) differentiating into neural cells in vitro induction. Method Using three methods, including growth factor bFGF and EGF associated with RA, traditional Chinese medicine monomer ursolic acid (UA), the liquid supernatant of the neurons from cerebral cortex of newborn rat cultured in serum-free to induce hUC-MSCs to differentiate into neural cells, observe the morphological changes and detect the special markers of neural cells by immunocytochemistry. Result Induced by cytokines, UA (2 mg/l), hUC-MSCs could gradually become bipolar, multipolar or conical instead of fibrous, and the body may also shrink; and some could extend processes, elongating gradually with the time, even some sub-processes and network. The bodies of some other cells showed sphericity with short processes. Induced by the supernatant of the neurons from cerebral cortex of newborn rat cultured in serum-free media, hUC-MSCs may firstly differentiate into Nestin and Musashi-1 positive neurospheres, then undergo the morphological changes mentioned above and form neural cells. Shown by immunocytochemistry, a small quantity of hUC-MSCs express Tubulin, GFAP, or O4 after induction of 14 days. Conclusion hUC-MSCs can be induced in vitro to differentiate into neural cells under certain conditions, providing a new approach for cell transplantation treatment of nervous system diseases.

    Objective To determine whether annexin A3 could regulate cisplatin sensitivity through apoptosis induced by cisplatin or not. Methods Retroviral vector constuction and cell infection technology were used to obtain high-level annexin A3 and low-level annexin A3 ovarian cancer cells. Then Annexin V/propidium iodide analysis and western blot were used to determine the cell apoptosis rate and caspase cleavage. Results After annexin A3 level was up-regualted, the average apoptosis rate induced by 60μg/ml cisplatin in sensitive cells was changed from 68.72%±1.01% to 29.13%±2.61% (P<0.05), cleavages of caspase and PARP were induced by high level cisplatin. Conversely, in cisplatin resistant cells with low-level annexin A3, the average apoptosis rate was up-reguated from 35.05%±3.06% to 76.73%±6.42% (P<0.05), low level cisplatin stimulated cleavages of caspase and PARP. Besides, annexin A3 could delay phosphorylation of p38 MAPK in ovarian cancer cells. Conclusion All these results showed that apoptosis inhibition might be a potential mechanism of annexin A3 regulating platinum resistance in ovarian cancer cells.

    Helicobacter pylori is a microbial pathogen that causes erosions of gastric epithelial cells, via escaping immune killing in local, which leads to a sustaining infection, and it is associated with various gastric diseases. Autohagy is an evolutionary cell mechanism which not only eliminates intercellular microorganisms, but also has no influence to the survival of cells. Helicobacter pylori invade into gastric epithelial cells and certain immune cells, inducing the occurrence of autophagy, and are cleared off after replicating in the autophagsomes. It is assumed that autophagy might play an important role in Helicobacter pylori infection.

    Th17 cells are a newly appreciated T-helper cell subset, which distinct from both Th1 and Th2 cells. The cytokines produced by Th17 cells include IL-17A,IL-17F,IL-21,IL-22,IL-6,TNF-α and so on. These cytokines can play an important role in the onset and development of dermatosis. Investigations about the relationship between Th17 cells related cytokines and dermatosis may illustrated more about the nosogenesis of dermatosis such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis,and provide new target for their therapy.

    Objective Evaluate the specialties of the surgery medical record and the common problems the medical students had in writing it, so as to accelerate the clinic teaching of the surgery department and increase the clinic skills of the students. Methods 912 cases of medical records written by the interns of PUMCH were summarized. The common problems and deficiency were evaluated. Combined with the specialties of surgical medical records, the methods and strategies in surgical medical records teaching are proposed. Results There were some common problems in the 912 cases of medical records. The medical history and case characteristic were tediously long and repeated. The physical examination is incomplete. The diagnosis discussion is too simple and lack of order. Conclusions The writing of surgical medical records has its characteristics, which should be evaluated in detail during the teaching and training of medical students. Combined with these characteristics, the surgical medical records should be taught and written under the rules of standard, ordered and integrated.
