 To investigate the inhibitory effects of tannic acid(TA) on the expressions of renal inflammatory factors in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats and explore their mechanisms. Methods Seventy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group,diabetic model group (DM),aminoguanidine (AG) group,low dose TA group(TA20) and high dose TA group(TA30). After the rats were treated for 10 weeks,24 h urinary protein excretion and the renal function parameters including serum creatinine(Cre) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) were measured. The morphological changes of kidney tissues were observed using PAS staining. The expressions of ICAM-1 and TNF-α proteins in the kidney tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry. The ICAM-1 mRNA expression in the kidney tissues was detected by RT-PCR. Results Compared with DM group,the serum Cre,BUN and the 24 h urinary protein excretion in TA groups were reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the PAS-positive substance in mesangial area was reduced;the expressions of ICAM-1 and TNF-α proteins and ICAM-1 mRNA in kidney tissues were significantly decreased(P<0.05). Conclusion TA plays a protective role in diabetic kidney and inhibits the expressions of inflammatory factor ICAM-1 and TNF-α in kidney tissues.

Abstract:Objective
To observe the changes of the regulatory T cells(Treg)and the expression of TGF-β1 in mouse spleen induced by different doses of X-ray irradiation at different time and study the effects of the X-ray on the Treg and TGF-β1. Methods The male ICR mice were irradiated with different doses of  X-ray (low dose:0,0.050 Gy,0.075 Gy,0.100 Gy,0.200 Gy;high dose: 0,0.500 Gy,1.000 Gy,2.000 Gy,4.000 Gy,6.000 Gy) respectively by the XSS205 (FZ)-type stationary X-ray deep therapy machine all over the body. Then the mice were killed 16 h after irradiation and the  Treg and the expression level of TGF-β1 in the mouse spleen were detected by flow cytometry,RT-PCR and Western blotting.Results Compared with  sham-irradiation group,the percentage of  Treg had no significant changes in mouse spleen in low dose irradiation groups (P<0.05); in  high dose irradiation groups,the percentage of  Treg was increased as the dose rose from 1.000 Gy to the higher levels(P< 0.05,P< 0.01),which showing a dose-dependent phenomenon. Compared with  sham-irradiaton group,the level of TGF-β1 mRNA in mouse spleen had a trend to increase sustainedly as the dose was increased from 0.500 Gy to the higher doses,and then was increased to 2.000 times higher in  2 Gy group,following with a slight decrease. The level of TGF-β1 protein in mouse spleen  in 0.100 Gy group was significantly higher than that in sham-irradiation group,and had an increasing tendency   in  high dose irradiation groups.There were significantly differences of the expression of TGF-β1 protein between 4.000 Gy group,6.000 Gy group and sham-irriadiation group(P<0.05).Conclusion The percentage of  Treg is increased after induced by  high dose X-ray,as well as the increasing secretion of the TGF-β1,which might be another reason for  high and low dose X-rays inducing different immune responses.

Abstract ( 1077 )   PDF (2729KB) ( 427 )  

Abstract:Objective
To discuss the influence of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (18βGA) on gap junction of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC)  and provide experimental basis for powerful and reversible gap junction inhibitors. Methods The preparations of mesenteric artery (MA) and anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) (OD<100  μm) in guinea pig were digested with collagenase A and   its adventitial tissues were cleaned. Whole-cell patch clamp recordings were used to study the effect of 18βGA on membrane input capacitance (Cinput),membrane input conductance (Ginput) or membrane input resistance (Rinput) of VSMCs embedded in arteriole segments. Results The Cinput and Ginput of the in situ cells were about 10-20 times that of the respective dispersed cell in MA and AICA. 18βGA concentration-dependently and reversibly suppressed Ginput or increased Rinput,with  IC50 of 3.5 and 2.3  μmol·L-1 in acutely isolated MA and AICA segments respectively. There was not significant difference between MA and AICA(P>0.05). After application of 18βGA (≥30  μmol·L-1),the Cinput,Ginput and Rinput of the in situ cells were very close to the respective dispersed cell in MA and AICA(P>0.05).
Conclusion 18βGA is a powerful and reversible gap junction blocker,achieving a maximal effect at ≥30  μmol·L-1. No significant difference is observed between MA and AICA for the gap junction blockade potency,suggesting a homogeneous property of the gap junctions between MA and AICA.

Abstract:Objective
To observe the influence of microwave radiation in the apoptosis of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and explore its mechanism. Methods Regarding 0 mW·cm-2 as sham radiation group,the SH-SY5Y cells were radiated for 5 minutes by 10,30 and 50 mW·cm-2 of microwave. The morphological changes of cells were observed under  light microscope;the cell nucleus stained by DAPI were observed under fluorescence microscope;the cell genomic DNA was extracted by CTAB and electrophoresed to observe DNA ladder;the cell viability was detected by trypan blue exclusion assay;the apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/PI double staining;the relative activity of cells was detected by MTT assay;the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blotting. Results After microwave radiation,the morphology of SH-SY5Y cells changed immediately,the nucleus and cytoplasm structure were less clear,and cell shrinkage or even off the wall were observed;chromatin in the nucleus appeared irregular condensation,and fragmentated into 2 to 5 micronuclei;cell DNA ladder was apparent. The survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells was reduced gradually with the increasing of microwave radiation intensity,there was no significant difference between 10 mW·cm-2 radiation group and sham radiation group (P>0.05);however,the cell survival rates in 30 and 50 mW·cm-2 radiation group were lower than that in sham radiation group(P<0.05). The apoptotic rate of SH-SY5Y cells was gradually increased with the microwave radiation intensity in 6 h after microwave radiation,and the apoptotic rates in  each radiation group were higher than that in sham radiation group(P<0.05). Compared with sham radiation group,the cell relative activities of SH-SY5Y cells in each radiation group were markedly decreased  24 and 48 h after microwave radiation(P<0.05),and they were decreased with the increasing of microwave radiation intensity. After microwave radiation,the expressions of apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2 and survivin were decreased,the expressions of Bax,Caspase-3 and Caspase-7 were increased gradually,but the expressions of Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 changed little. Conclusion The apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells can be induced by microwave radiation in a obvious dose-dependent manner,which may be related to the increase of Survivin and Bcl-2 proteins,the decrease of Bax protein and the action of the Caspase-3 and Caspase-7,but with little relationship of the activation of Caspase-3 mediated by caspase-8 and Caspase-9.

Abstract ( 858 )  

Objective To study the expressions of GRIM-19 and its target gene product STAT3 in human gastric carcinoma(GC)tissues and their clinical  significances,and clarify their effects in occurrence and development of gastric carcinoma.  Methods  RT-PCR,immunohistochemistry dyeing and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of GRIM-19 and STAT3  in GC tissues,tissues surrounding carcinoma and normal gastric tisssues. The correlations between  the expressions of  GRIM-19 and STAT3 and  the  clinicopathologic characteristics of gastric carcinoma were analyzed statistically. Results The mRNA and protein levels of GRIM-19  in GC tissues as well as tissues surrounding carcinoma were obviously lower than those in normal tissues (P<0.01). Furthermore,the expression of GRIM-19 protein  was correlated to cell differentiation and clinical stage of GC (P<0.01). In contrast,the mRNA and protein levels of STAT3  as well as tissues surrounding carcinoma in GC tissues were higher  than those in normal tissues (P<0.01),and the expression of STAT3 was correlated to cell differentiation,lymphatic metastasis and clinical stage of GC(P<0.01). The significantly negative correlation was found between the expressions of GRIM-19 and STAT3 in GC tissues (r=-0.396,P<0.01). Conclusion
The low expression of GRIM-19 and the high expression of STAT3 co-exist in GC tissues. It may be related to malignant transformation and abnormal proliferation of cells,which facilitates the development of GC.

linical application of RPT  in tuberculosis treatment. Methods The articles related to the efficacy and safety of RPT and RFP in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis,and randomized clinical controlled trials (RCT)or clinical controlled trials(CCT)published in the openly journals either in Chinese or English from 1999 to July 2010 were searched by computer. The databases were as follows:Ovid-medline,CBMdisc,Pubmed,CNKI,Wanfang database and Weipu database. Some pulmonary tuberculosis journals which didn’t publish on line had also been searched by hand. Results There were 18 RCTs and 6 CCTs were finally selected. In the aspect of efficacy,the  2-month sputum negative conversion rate of the primary treated tuberculosis cases,the obvious effective rate and curable rate of cavity at the end of   treatment period of  relapse tuber
culosis and recurrence rate of tuberculosis in the following 2 or 3 years after  treatment period of the relapse tuberculosis cases were all significantly different between RPT and RFP groups,respectively(P<0.05). RPT was more effective than RFP . There were no significant differences between two groups on other indexes,such as 2-month sputum negative conversion rate of the relapse tuberculosis cases,and sputum negative conversion rates both of the primary and relapse tuberculosis cases at the end of treatment  period of tuberculosis,and obvious effective rate and curable rate of cavity at the end of the treatment period of the primary treated tuberculosis cases(P>0.05). As for the evaluation of safety,the combined analysis results showed that  skin rash and drug fever showed no significant differences(P>0.05),other indexes  all showed significant differences between two groups (P<0.05),such as total drug side-effects,abnormal liver function,ALT elevating,serum bilirubin elevating,gastrointestinal adverse reactions,and discontinuation of medication. RPT had less side effects than RFP. Conclusion RPT is safe and effective to treat pulmonary tuberculosis,especially for relapse cases. Besides,the patients possibly have better tolerance and adherence to RPT than RFP.

Abstract:Objective To investigate  the changes of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interferon-γ(IFN-γ),matrix metalbproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and oxidized low density lipoprotein(oxLDL) levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and  provide theoretical  evidence for judgement of  the nature of coronary atherosclerotic plaque.Methods 63 patients who had undergone  coronary angiography  were  divided into ACS group including 21 cases of  acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and 20 cases of unstable angina (UAP))  and  normal control group(n=22). Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent test (ELISA) test, the levels of serum TNF-α,IFN-γ,MMP-9 and oxLDL were detected. Results  The serum levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ,MMP-9 and oxLDL in patients with  ACS were higher than those in control group(P<0.05); the serum levels of  TNF-α, IFN-γ and oxLDL had  no significant differences between  AMI group and UAP group(P>0.05); the serum level of MMP-9 in patients with AMI was higher than that in UAP group(P<0.05). Conclusion The serum levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ,MMP-9 and oxLDL can be used to judge  the nature of coronary atherosclerotic plaque;TNF-α,IFN-γ,MMP-9 and oxLDL can accelerate the progress of unsteady of coronary atherosclerotic  plaque and  promote plaque rupture;the serum level of MMP-9 may  become an important biochemical monitoring indicator about risk stratification in patients with coronary heart disease.

Abstract:Objective  To investigate the value of insulin releasing test (IRT) and insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ) in diagnosis and treatment of  type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and clarify the relationship between them. Methods 138 T2DM patients (59 T2DM A and 79 T2DM B) and 43 cases of healthy controls  were chosen. The blood glucose,insulin at different time and fasting IGF-Ⅰ were measured. Results The level  of fasting insulin in T2DM patients was  lower than that in  control group at the same time (P<0.05),the peak of insulin  was lower also (P<0.05) and was delayed for 30-60 min,it still contained a higher level at  180 min(P<0.05),the IGF-Ⅰ level  were lower than those in  control group and T2DM B patients(P<0.05). The level of fasting insulin was higher than that in control group,the peak was delayed for 60-120 min,the peak value was similar to  control group (P>0.05) and stayed higher level  till 180 min; The IGF-Ⅰ level was higher than those in  control group and T2DM A patients  (P<0.05). Conclusion IRT and IGF-Ⅰ can obviously show the state of  glucose metabolism. IRT combined with IGF-Ⅰ play an  important role in  diagnosis and treatment of T2DM.

Abstract:Objective To evaluate the value in judgement of malignancy and invasion of glioma with hydrogen-1 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H1-MRS) in combination with  diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and provide useful image information for evaluating biologic classification of glioma and regulating reasonable treatment principles. Methods 13 patients with low grade glioma and 12 patients with high grade glioma underwent conventional MR imaging,H1-MRS and DTI. the parameters of MRS and DTI were measured,The values of patients in high grade and low grade glioma groups were compared and the changes of the white fiber tracts were observed.Results Compared with low grade glioma group,the NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr,NAA/Cho,rFA values in high grade glioma group had statistic differences(P<0.05). In high grade glioma group,the NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr,NAA/Cho and rFA of edema area (0.98±0.19,2.80±1.20,0.58±0.19,0.56±0.11)and edge of edema (1.46±0.25,1.29±0.28,1.12±0.18,0.78±0.06) were different statistically (P<0.05). White matter fiber was illustrated by  DTT as deviation and rarefaction in low grade glioma;destruction and discontinuation in high grade glioma. Conclusion H1-MRS combined with DTI contributes to study malignancy and invasion of glioma and provide more useful information for establishing operating program of glioma.
