    Notes: Abstract Paclitaxel (Taxol™) is a microtubule-interfering agent that induced persistent and transient G2/M arrest before apoptosis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells at high and low concentrations, respectively. In this study, we intended to explore the underlying molecular events and found that cellular cyclin B1/CDC 2 kinase activity was increased and persisted for 〉6 h upon paclitaxel treatment both at high and low concentrations. Furthermore, activation of MAD 2 checkprotein could account for the loss of cyclin B1 ubiquitination and the persistence of cyclin B1/CDC 2 activation in the cases. To investigate the involvement of cyclin B1 and MAD 2 activation in paclitaxel-induced apoptosis, we introduced affinity-purified anti-cyclin B1 and MAD 2 antibodies into NPC cells by electroporation before the further paclitaxel treatment. The antibodies against cyclin B1 and MAD 2 indeed attenuated paclitaxel-induced cytotoxicity and DNA fragmentation. Our study suggests that activation of cyclin B1/CDC 2 and MAD 2 were the M-phase events required for paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in NPC cells. The dys-regulated cyclin B1/CDC 2 activation could enhance the prometaphase progression, but activation of MAD 2 rendered cells inable to exit from the metaphase. Under this circumstance, cells were probably going to “mitotic catastrophe” and ultimately, destined to apoptosis.

    Notes: Abstract A cell culture system was devised for muscle cell of Macrobrachium nipponense in the study. The juvenile and adult shrimps were held in laboratory aquaria with penicillin 1000 IU/ml and streptomycin 1000 µg/ml for 12–24 hours. Cell cultures were established in medium 199 supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum, 1 g/L glucose, 5.2 g/L NaCl, 1.43 g/L CaCl2, 0.05 g/L MgCl2, 100 IU/mL penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin. Fibroblast-like cells were passaged up to three times and survived for 54 days. The results showed the optimum for subculture in vitro was in medium 199 with pH 7.6. Moreover, basal medium supplemented with Zn2+ 60 µg/L could enhance the growth of the muscle cells. It was found that better results for cell culture would be obtained more easily with juvenile shrimps caught in spring than adults in summer or autumn; and shrimps caught within 12 hours after ecdysis could grow much better than the intermoult shrimps.

    Notes: The steady state, nonlinear diffusion equations which describe reactions in constrained enzyme solutions are of great interest in many biological and engineering applications. As in other types of nonlinear differential equations, exact analytical solutions do not exist except in some simplified cases. In this paper, a general procedure is presented for solving numerically for the substrate concentration profile and effectiveness factor utilizing the transformation method suggested by Na and Na. Design correlations for enzyme solutions constrained within spherical membranes are included. The use of a unique definition of the Thiele Modulus in these charts permits the clear illustration of the effects of substrate concentration and external mass transfer resistances on the overall effectiveness factor for the catalyst particle.
