Screening differentially expressed genes involved in apoptosis of primary cultured rat cerebellar granule neurons by mRNA differential display RT-PCR

AIM: To Screen and identify differentially expressed genes that involved in apoptosis model in rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs).METHODS: The rat cerebellar granule neurons were isolated and primarily cultured.Fluorescent differential display RT-PCR (FDD RT-PCR) was performed to screen differentially expressed ESTs in the apoptosis model of primarily cultured rat CGNs.ESTs were subcloned into pGEM-T EasyTM vector and then sequenced.Alignment assay in non-redunant database was applied for encoding information.Reverse Northern blotting was used to appraise the results from DDRT-PCR.RESULTS: 164 pieces of differentially expressed ESTs were obtained by FDDRT-PCR.17 of them were subcloned and sequenced.5 ESTs of 17 were confirmed to be positive results by reverse Northern blotting.CONCLUSION: DD-PCR is a rapid,simple-operation and sensitive method for screening differentially expressed genes,which would contribute to the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis/survive of CGNs.

落叶果树需冷量及其估算模型研究进展

落叶果树的需冷量得到满足,才能顺利完成自然休眠,进行下一个生长发育循环(尤其是正常开花结果),否则其他环境条件再适宜,果树也不萌芽开花,即使萌芽也不整齐,生长结果不良,达不到促成栽培的目的[1].因此,对落叶果树需冷量及其估算的研究至关重要,成为落叶果树设施栽培成败的关键.本文仅就需冷量估算模型进行介绍,以期为设施栽培和更完善的需冷量估算提供理论依据.……

The anti VEGF monoclonal antibody conjugated with nanometer particle of 5-FU

AIM:The characteristics of nanometer particles, which were prepared by the conjugation of anti-VEGF monoclonal antibodies and 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanometer particles (5-FU-NPs), were investigated for improving the anticancer activity of 5-FU. METHODS:The method of couple linkage of chemical bonds was used to prepare the 5-FU-NPs with VEGF antibody, then the appearance, distribution of particle diameter, releasing in vitro and the immunological activity were detected. RESULTS:The 5-FU-Ab-NPs appeared as regular globular, the average particle diameter was (202±23)nm. The 5-FU-Ab-NPs possessed the similar delayed release character of 5-FUs. More than 80% of the immmunogical activity were detected in conjugates-retained antibody by the immunological methods and electron microscopy. CONCLUSION:The 5-FU-Ab-NPs possess the similar delayed released activity to 5-FU-NPs and have double activity of immune targeting and delayed releasing, which may increase the local concentration of 5-FU.     

Effects of bilirubin on oxygen free radicals and caspase-3 in acute lung injury rats

AIM:To investigate the mechanisms by which bilirubin inhibits acute lung injury (ALI). METHODS:30 female Wistar rats were divided into normal group, ALI group and bilirubin treatment group. ALI was induced by intravenous injection of LPS. The contents of OH^-, H₂O₂ and O₂^· in the lung as well as the expression of caspase-3 in the lungs were investigated. RESULTS:(1) The contents of OH^-, H₂O₂ and O₂^· in the lung homogenate and the expression of caspase-3 in the lungs in ALI group increased compared with those in normal group (P<0.05). (2) The contents of OH^-, H₂O₂ and O₂^· in the lung homogenate and the expression of caspase-3 in the lungs in bilirubin treatment group increased compared with those in normal group, but decreased compared with those in ALI models (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:(1) Bilirubin was shown to be able to ameliorate apoptosis in ALI rats. (2) The increase in the contents of OH^-, H₂O₂, O₂^· in ALI group indicated the development of oxidative lung injury, which was ameliorated by bilirubin. (3) Expression of caspase-3 confirmed that the model made by LPS was associated with apoptosis, which was reduced by bilirubin.
