The role of protease-activated receptors (PARs) in lung tumors is controversial. Although PAR4 is preferentially expressed in human lung tissues, its possible significance in lung cancer has not been defined. The studies reported herein used a combination of clinical observations and molecular methods. Surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas and associated adjacent normal lung tissues were collected and BEAS-2B and NCI-H157 cell lines were grown in tissue culture. PAR4 expression was evaluated by RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry analysis. The results showed that PAR4 mRNA expression was generally decreased in lung adenocarcinoma tissues as compared with matched noncancerous tissues (67.7%) and was associated with poor differentiation (p=0.017) and metastasis (p=0.04). Western blotting and immunohistochemical analysis also showed that PAR4 protein levels were mostly decreased in lung adenocarcinoma tissues (61.3%), and were also associated with poor differentiation (p=0.035) and clinical stage (p=0.027). Moreover, PAR4 expression was decreased in NCI-H157 cells as compared with BEAS-2B cells. In conclusion, PAR4 expression is significantly decreased in lung adenocarcinoma, and down-regulation of PAR4 is associated with a more clinically aggressive phenotype. PAR4 may acts as a tumor suppressor in lung adenocarcinoma.

Introduction: Smoking prevalence among the medical students is high in China. Therefore, understanding the smoking motivations of medical students is crucial for smoking control, but currently there are no scales questionnaires customized for probing the smoking motivations of medical students. This aim of study was to test and modify a questionnaire for investigating smoking motivations among medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1,125 medical students at Xuzhou Medical College in China in 2012.The model fit and validity was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the reliability was tested by single-item reliability, composite reliability, and item-total correlation. Results: The prevalence of smoking was 9.84 % among study population. In the modified scales, the global fit indices identified a CFI value of 0.96, TLI was 0.96, and the RMSEA was 0.063. CFA supported the two dimensional structure of the instrument. The average variance extracted ranged from 0.45 to 0.62. All single-item reliability scores were greater than 0.20, and the composite reliability ranged from 0.74 to 0.91. Conclusion: Modified scales could be the preliminary instrument used in evaluating the smoking motivations of medical students. However, it should be further assessed using other forms and methods of validity and reliability, additional motivations of smoking, and the survey of other medical colleges in China.

To understand better the mechanisms that regulate the water stress response in wheat, we conducted a comparative analysis of transcript profiles in roots from two wheat genotypes -- drought-tolerant ‘Luohan No. 2’ (LH)and drought-susceptible ‘Chinese Spring’ (CS). In LH roots,3831 transcripts displayed changes in expression of at least two-fold over the well-watered control when drought treatment was applied. Of these, 1593 were induced while 2238 were repressed. Relatively fewer transcripts were drought-responsive in CS; i.e., 1404 transcripts were induced and 1493 were repressed. In common between LH and CS,569 transcripts were induced and 424 transcripts were repressed. In all, 689 transcripts (757 probe sets) identified from LH and 537 transcripts (575 probe sets) from CS were annotated and classified into 10 functional categories. Among those annotated transcripts from LH and CS that had fold-change ratios of at least 4, 92 induced transcripts were common to both, while 23 transcripts were specifically induced in LH. Gene ontology analysis of these induced genes showed highly significant enrichment for multiple terms related to abiotic stimuli, organic acid biosynthesis,and lipid metabolism. This suggests that these gene groups play important roles during the stress response in LH and CS, and might also be responsible for differences in drought tolerance between those genotypes.

Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) play important roles in leukemia initiation, progression and relapse, and thus represent a critical target for therapeutic intervention. Hence, it is extremely urgent to explore new therapeutic strategies directly targeting LSCs for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) therapy. We show here that Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP), a major active component in Dong quai (Chinese Angelica sinensis), effectively inhibited human AML $CD34^+CD38^-$ cell proliferation in vitro culture in a dose-dependent manner while sparing normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells at physiologically achievable concentrations. Furthermore, ASP exerted cytotoxic effects on AML K562 cells, especially LSC-enriched $CD34^+CD38^-$ cells. Colony formation assays further showed that ASP significantly suppressed the formation of colonies derived from AML $CD34^+CD38^-$ cells but not those from normal $CD34^+CD38^-$ cells. Examination of the underlying mechanisms revealed that ASP induced $CD34^+CD38^-$ cell senescence, which was strongly associated with a series of characteristic events, including up-regulation of p53, p16, p21, and Rb genes and changes of related cell cycle regulation proteins P16, P21, cyclin E and CDK4, telomere end attrition as well as repression of telomerase activity. On the basis of these findings, we propose that ASP represents a potentially important agent for leukemia stem cell-targeted therapy.

In this study, the full-length GIH cDNA sequence from Litopenaeus vannamei was cloned from the eyestalk by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The fulllength GIH cDNA was 865 bp with a 288 bp open-reading frame, which encoded a 96 amino acid prepro-GIH with 17 amino acid signal peptide. L. vannamei GIH (LvGIH) can be classified as a member of type-II crustacean hyperglycemic hormone polypeptide family. LvGIH shares 93.8 and 66.7 % amino acid sequence identity with GIH from Penaeus monodon, and the molt-inhibiting hormone from Marsupenaeus japonicas, respectively. By quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), LvGIH mRNA transcripts were detected in fertilized eggs, nauplius, zoea, mysis and juveniles of 25, 35 and 40 days old. LvGIH transcript levels increased significantly with the development from fertilized eggs to juveniles. LvGIH transcript levels were highest in juveniles at 35 days old. By RT-PCR, LvGIH mRNA transcripts were detected only in the eyestalks and brains but not in the muscles, intestines, gills, heart, hepatopancreas, ovaries and testes of adults, and there was no difference in the expression level of LvGIH between males and females. Using the P. monodon anti-GIH antibody, we showed that LvGIH was located mainly in the XO-SG and slightly in axon, with similar fluorescence intensity found in XO and SG. To summarize, we have cloned and characterized the GIH of the shrimp L. vannamei. In addition to the GIH properties described in other crustaceans, a peak of LvGIH expression was identified at the time of sexual differentiation (i.e., day 35 larvae) suggesting that LvGIH may also be involved in the control of this process.

In this paper, the multi-domain indirect boundary element method (IBEM) is developed for the seismic response analysis of double-line mountain tunnels with seismic reduction and isolation measures. The dynamic response of the tunnel with seismic reduction and isolation measures under incident SV waves is analyzed, and the effect of the mountain topography on the tunnel is also investigated. Further, the effects of the isolation layer and the grouting reinforcement with different thicknesses on the seismic response of the tunnel are discussed in detail. The results show that the scattering of seismic waves by mountain topography significantly increases tunnel stress. In general, with the increase of incident frequency, the isolation layer will increase the peak displacement of the tunnel by about 12.7% at most, and the isolation ratio of the isolation layer on the tunnel stress exceeds 40%. The seismic reduction performance of the grouting reinforcement also depends on the incident frequency, and the amplitude decreases by approximately 20% at most frequencies. However, it is possible that the lining displacement under high-frequency waves becomes larger. This method can provide valuable insights and assessments for damage prediction.

MicroRNA 200c is a microRNA 200 family member that plays an important role in regulation of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The prognostic value of microRNA 200c in solid tumors remains controversial because of inconsistent data. Here, we report a meta-analysis of the association of microRNA 200c expression and survival in patients with solid tumors. Pubmed was searched up to November 2013 for studies investigating microRNA 200c expression and overall survival (OS) in solid tumors. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for OS were extracted from each study. Pooled HR and CIs were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effects models. A total of five studies evaluating colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and endometrial cancer were included in the analysis. Data were divided into tissue microRNA 200c expression group and serum microRNA 200c expression group. The combined HRs [95%CIs] estimated for OS were 0.62 [0.42-0.91] and 2.16 [1.32-3.52] respectively. Low expression of microRNA 200c in tumor tissue and high expression of microRNA 200c in serum are associated with worse survival in solid tumors. Further study is needed to elucidate this contradiction.
