ABSTRACT
It is a challenge for teachers to make students master pediatrics knowledge during internship period in the limited time. Department entrance education will encourage the students to study pediatrics. Clinical teaching includes performing ward inspection and clinical practice, moreover, the teaching should be based on how to solve clinical problems and focused on pediatrics characteristics. The practice and experience shows that clinical study in department of pediatrics wiu improve the students' comprehensive ability and help them lay a solid foundation for further work.
ABSTRACT
AIM:Xaf1-Saos inducible cell lines,which contain "gene switch" system were used to detect the effect of Xaf1 on tumor necrosis factor receptor(TNFR) signal pathway and to investigate the mechanism of cooperation between Xaf1 and TNF-? in inducing cell apoptosis.METHODS:Xaf1 on TNFR1 expression was measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting.The effect of NF-?B on Xaf1 induced apoptosis was detected by DNA content flow cytometry after co-transfection.DNA binding activity of NF-?B was identified by gel mobility shift assay and transcription activity of NF-?B was analyzed by luciferase assay and RT-PCR.SAPK/JNK activity was checked by SAPK/JNK assay.RESULTS:Xaf1 did not modulate TNFR1 at protein and mRNA levels.Increased NF-?B activity in cells inhibited Xaf1 induced apoptosis.Expression of Xaf1 impaired modestly TNF-? induced NF-?B DNA binding activation and transcription activation,also modestly reduced SAPK/JNK activity.CONCLUSION:Xaf1 inhibits TNFR signal pathway,partly contributing to cooperation with TNF-? to induce apoptosis.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To determine the effects of different-term streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetes on ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury and cell apoptosis in rats myocardial via alterations in myocardial peroxynitrite.METHODS:The models of I/R injury were induced by occlusion and reperfusion of the left descending coronary artery(LDCA)in rats.I/R-induced infarct size was determined using triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining.Quantified caspase-3 expression was used to represent apoptosis by Western blotting analysis.Peroxynitrite formation as indicated by nitrotyrosine level was measured by morphometric analysis.RESULTS:Two weeks after STZ treatment,infarct size(35.00%?3.00%)was smaller in 2 weeks diabetic hearts(2WKD)as compared with time-matched control group(2WKC)(51.00%?3.30%),whereas after 16 weeks of diabetes(16WKD),the infarct size(61.00%?3.00%)was bigger in the diabetic hearts as compared with the 16WKC group(50.00%?2.00%,P
ABSTRACT
AIM: To look for harmfulless anti-leukemia drug with selective high performance, lethal effect of small hairpin RNA (shRNA) on VEGFR2 gene expression of tumor cell line HL60 in vitro.METHODS: The most effective VEGFR2 siRNA was designed and screened. The shRNA oligo was designed and pU6/VEGFR2 entry clone was constructed. HL60 was transfected transiently and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2) expression was tested with MTT assay, RT-PCR and Western blotting. The expression clone was constructed and cotransfected with ViraPowerTM Packaging Mix into 293FTTM cells to produce Lentiviral vectors harboring Lenti6/shVEGFR2. The virion supernatant was added into HL60 cells and VEGFR2 gene inhibitory effect was determined. RESULTS: The inhibitory rates of VEGFR2 siRNA c were high. VEGFR2 expression in HL60 was inhibited by using pU6/VEGFR2 entry clone constructed with shRNA and pENTRTM/U6. For HL60 cells, the inhibitory rate was 84.9%. The expression of VEGFR2 mRNA and protein decreased significantly. 48 hours after transfection of pU6/shVEGFR2 entry clone and transduction of Lenti6/shVEGFR2 expression clone, the cell inhibitory rates were similar. Cell growth inhibitory rate of entry clone descended rapidly after this time point, the expression clone changed slowly, reaching the peak at 96 hours, dropped slightly, having no significance deviation. CONCLUSION: in vitro, VEGFR2 shRNA using lentiviral vector blocks VEGF/VEGFR2 self-secretion in HL60 cells, which inhibits leukemia development.
