Abstract
Objective: To establish patient derived xenograft (PDX) model of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM), and to identify the key characteristics of tumor biology of the model, so as to provide an experiment platform for studying the pathologic mechanisms and new therapeutic strategies for MPM. Methods: Surgically excised MPM tumor tissues were inoculated subcutaneously in BALB/c-nu/nu mice for 3 stable passages. In the 4th passage, the subcutaneous tumors were harvested under aseptic conditions, cleaned and made into MPM tumor cell homogenate. Four nude mice (two males and two females) were selected and one male and one female nude mouse were inoculated in the abdominal cavity at the dose of 100 μL, others were inoculated at a dose of 200 μL. The PDX model of MPM was established. The changes of body mass in nude mice were measured regularly, the extent of abdominal and pelvic tumors was judged by experimental peritoneal cancer index (ePCI) score, and the pathologic characteristics of tumors were analyzed. Results: The subcutaneous and abdominal animal models of MPM were successfully established. The subcutaneous tumor model grew into tumor on the 20th day, followed by a slow growth stage between the 20th and 29th day, then a rapid growth stage between the 30th and 57th day. According to the dose of tumor cells (100, 200 μL) and timing (14th and 69th days after grafting), the abdominal tumor model successfully simulated the early and late clinical stages of MPM. The HE staining results of the MPM nude mice model showed that the tumor was epithelial mesothelioma and invaded most of the organs, including liver, spleen, pancreas, mesentery. Immunohistochemical staining for calretinin, cytokeratin 5/6, WT1 and Ki-67 were positive. Whole-genome exon sequencing identified 26 and 36 high frequency gene mutations in tumors derived from the PDX model and clinical sample from patients, including 21 common gene mutations. Conclusions: The PDX model of MPM is established. The model is characterized by highly malignant tumor with rapid growth and high invasiveness.

Abstract
With the rapid development of precise radiotherapy technology, the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in gynecological malignant tumor has been gradually increased. IMRT could result in a good local control rate as well as superior clinical outcome in patients with cervical cancer after radical radiotherapy. The recurrence pattern of radiotherapy includes in-field recurrence, out-of-field and combined failure. The recurrence pattern of radical IMRT for cervical cancer is mainly out-of-field recurrence. Out-of-field recurrence may be related to inadequate imaging evaluation before treatment. In-field recurrence may be related to insufficient radiation dose in target area and differences of tumor sensitivity.

Abstract
Introgression lines are some of the most important germplasm for breeding applications and other research conducted on cotton crops. The DNA methylation level among 10 introgression lines of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and three exotic parental species (G. arboreum, G. thurberi and G. barbadense) were assessed by methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) technology. The methylation level in the introgression lines ranged from 33.3 to 51.5%. However, the lines PD0111 and PD0113 had the lowest methylation level (34.6 and 33.3%, respectively) due to demethylation of most non-coding sequences. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to evaluate the genetic polymorphism in the cotton introgression lines. A high degree of polymorphism was observed in all introgression lines (mean 47.2%) based on AFLP and MSAP analyses. This confirmed the effects of genetic improvement on cotton introgression lines. The low methylation varieties, PD0111 and PD0113 (introgression lines), clustered outside of the introgression lines based on MSAP data, which was incongruent with an AFLP-based dendrogram. This phenomenon could be caused by environmental changes or introgression of exotic DNA fragments.

Abstract
Small organic dyes have been applied widely in fluorescence imaging techniques for biomedical research. We investigated the cytotoxicity of a novel fluorescent dye, trans-4-(N-2-hydroxyethyl-N-ethyl amino)-4'-(dimethyl amino) stilbene (DMAHAS), on human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT), a neutral red assay, a Coomassie brilliant blue assay, and flow cytometric analysis. Our results showed that DMAHAS had live cell permeability, stable cytosolic localization and no significant cytotoxicity to HepG2 cells. We explored its application further for tumor cell tracking in a human liver tumor xenograft mouse model. Tumor xenografts were examined by fluorescence imaging and conventional histological methods. In addition, a method based on DMAHAS release was developed for tumor-specific cytotoxicity analysis. Our study indicated that DMAHAS is a reliable probe for tumor tracking and fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Using the FDD-PCR technique, ten new fiber-specific cDNAs were isolated from developing cotton fiber cells and showed high amino acid identity to previously recorded cDNAs. Five cDNAs encoding bisphosphate nucleotidase, alpha-tubulin, beta-galactosidase, annexin, and reversibly glycosylated polypeptide were identified while the functions of five other cDNAs were undetermined. Dot blot analysis showed that all transcripts of the 10 cDNAs accumulated preferentially in fiber cells and the majority were expressed in the early phase of cotton fiber development, except for F14 which accumulated at a high level during the late phase of developing fiber cells, indicating that all of the genes were involved in the process of fiber development.

Abstract
The novel quinoline alkaloid scolopendrine was isolated from the centipede, Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans L. Koch. The structure was determined to be 2-hydroxy-7-[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-3-methoxy-8-quinolyl sulfate on the basis of high-resolution electron-spray ionization mass spectroscopy and two-dimensional NMR spectral data. Unlike quinoline alkaloids so far reported, scolopendrine is unique in having a 7-benzyl moiety in the quinoline ring.

Abstract
The imposition of environmental stress leads to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells, Which can damage proteins, membrane lipids, DNA and other cellular components. Plants have evolved enzymatic and no-enzymatic protection mechanisms that efficiently scavenge ROS. Enzymatic detoxication system includes superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GAX); no-enzymatic antioxidants include ascorbic acid, glutathione, mannitol and carotenoids, which occur in high concentrations in plants. The over-expression and accumulation strategies of these antioxidants in plants have been followed up to now, and have gained many transgenic plants showing increased stress tolerance.

Abstract
Hepatoprotective aliphatic glycosides 3-(S)-3-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxybutanolide (1) and its congener, 3-(S)-3-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy-4-hydroxybutanoic acid (2) were isolated as major constituents from the whole plants of three Goodyera species, G. schlechtendaliana Reichb. fil., G. matsumurana Schltr. and G. discolor Ker-Gawl. The structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by NMR, MS spectroscopic and chemical means. Compound 1 was converted into its methyl ester form (5) during the purification step, when the lactone ring was cleaved by catalysis of silica gel with the CHCl3-MeOH-H2O as a solvent. On the other hand, 1 was obtained in a high yield by the same purification procedure without MeOH. Based on this fact, a simple and economic method for the purification of 1 was confirmed. Compounds 1 and 2 were found to have a hepatoprotective effect on liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in primary cultured rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
An ether-insoluble resin glycoside fraction was obtained from the seeds of Cuscuta australis. Identification and characterization of alkaline hydrolysis products by means of GC, FABMS, and 1H, 13C, and 2D NMR revealed the material to be composed of three new glycosidic acids, cuscutic acids A1-A3 (1-3); triglycosides with (11S)-jalapinolic or (11S)-convolvulinolic acid as the aglycon; and acetic, isobutyric, (2S)-2-methylbutyric, tiglic, and (2R,3R)-nilic acids. The resin glycoside is considered to be a complex mixture of glycosidic ester-type oligomers (up to heptamers) with a core consisting of a number of the above cuscutic acids each acylated with one or two carboxylic acid moieties.
