RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To establish the in vivo traceable acute myeloid leukemia mice model with Luciferase-Expressing KG1a Cells. METHODS: KG1a cells with stable luciferase gene expression (called as KG1a-Luc cells) were constructed by lentivirus transfection, then sifted out by puromycin. Eighteen male NOD-SCID-IL2rg-/-mice aged 8 to 12 weeks were randomly and equally divided into two groups: the control group and the KG1a-Luc group. The mice in KG1a-Luc group were injected with 200 µl PBS containing 5×106 KG1a-Luc cells through tail veins, and the mice in control group were injected with 200 µl PBS only. The bioluminescence imaging technology was used to monitor the tumor burden in vivo. The peripheral blood of the mice in both groups was analyzed by flow cytometry. After the mice were sacrificed, there were pathologic evaluations: bone marrow and spleens made into smears, and livers sliced to get paraffin sections. The survival time of the mice in the two groups was recorded and compared. RESULTS: KG1a cells expressing luciferase stably were successfully obtained. The tumor luminescence wildly spread at day 17 captured by in vivo imaging. The KG1a-Luc tumor cells could be detected in the peripheral blood of the mice, with the average percentage of (16.27±6.66)%. The morphology and pathology result showed that KG1a-Luc cells infiltrate was detected in bone marrow, spleens and livers. The survival time of the KG1a-Luc mice was notably shorter as compared with those in the control group, the median survival time was 30.5 days (95%CI: 0.008-0.260). CONCLUSION: The acute myeloid leukemia NOD-SCID-IL2rg-/-mouse model was successfully established by tail vein injection of 5×106 KG1a-Luc cells.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the development of skeletal muscle. In our previous study, expression of miR-195 and miR-497 were shown to be upregulated during muscle development in pigs. In this study, we investigated the roles of these two miRNAs in myogenesis and analyzed their transcriptional regulation. Our results showed that miR-195 and miR-497 were upregulated during muscle development and myoblast differentiation. Moreover, miR-195 and miR-497 inhibited proliferation but not differentiation in C2C12 cells. Further investigation revealed that Igf1r, Insr, Ccnd2 and Ccne1 were directly targeted by miR-195 and miR-497 in myoblasts. In addition, we confirmed that miR-195 and miR-497, which shared the similar expression profiling, were negatively regulated by nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in both myoblasts and skeletal muscle tissue. Our data illustrate that the signaling pathway NF-κB-miR-195/497-Igf1r/Insr-Ccnd2/Ccne1 plays important roles in myogenesis. Our study provides novel evidence for the roles of miR-195 and miR-497 in muscle development.

Based on polyethylene glycol modified single-walled carbon nanotubes, a novel sol-gel fiber coating was prepared and applied to the headspace microextraction of chlorinated organic carriers (COCs) in textiles by gas chromatography-electron capture detection. The preparation of polyethylene glycol modified single-walled carbon nanotubes and the sol-gel fiber coating process was stated and confirmed by infrared spectra, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Several parameters affecting headspace microextraction, including extraction temperature, extraction time, salting-out effect, and desorption time, were optimized by detecting 11 COCs in simulative sweat samples. Compared with the commercial solid-phase microextraction fibers, the sol-gel polyethylene glycol modified single-walled carbon nanotubes fiber showed higher extraction efficiency, better thermal stability, and longer life span. The method detection limits for COCs were in the range from 0.02 to 7.5 ng L(-1) (S/N = 3). The linearity of the developed method varied from 0.001 to 50 µg L(-1) for all analytes, with coefficients of correlation greater than 0.974. The developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of trace COCs in textiles, the recoveries of the analytes indicated that the developed method was considerably useful for the determination of COCs in ecological textile samples.
RESUMO
A new method for the determination of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in cosmetics by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry selected ion storage (SIS) method was developed. The BHA and BHT in samples were extracted by methanol. The m/z 165 and m/z 205 were the monitoring ion for BHA and BHT respectively. The detection limits of BHA and BHT in samples were 2.5 micrograms/g and 0.5 microgram/g, respectively. The method is simple, rapid and accurate.
