Objective To explore the feasibility of clinical application of biodegradable polymer-coated drug-eluting stent. Methods Thirty each of the drug-eluting stent or bare-metal stents were implanted randomly into the anterior descending arteries, circumflex and right canine coronary arteries of thirty healthy pigs. The pathological examination was taken at 2 weeks to 6 months after coronary angiography to investigate the inflammation, thrombosis and endothelialization. Results Macroscopic observation of the stented arteries demonstrated complete incorporation of stent wires into the arterial wall and smooth vessel lumens. There were no significant differences existing between two kinds of the stents in terms of thrombosis, inflammation and endothelialization. The lumen loss in the biodegradable polymer-coated drug-eluting stent group is less than that in the bare-metal stent group. Conclusion The biodegradable polymer-coated drug-eluting stent is promising with good biocom-patibility, blood compatibility and phyaicochemical stability after being implanted into pig coronary arteries. The blood vessel transplanted with the drug-eluting stents maintains a high patency rate due to rapid endothelialization.

Objective To investigate the effect of Notch signaling during bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) differentiating into islet in vitro.Methods The specific inhibitor of γ-secretase DAPT was used to inhibit the Notch signaling pathway.Mter induction,DTZ staining,indirect immunofluorescence staining,RT-PCR and Westenn blotting were used to detect the expression of insulin,glucagon,Pdx-1 and Ngn3.Results (1) Identification of BMSCs:Indirect immunofluorescence staining showed that BMSCs could express CD59 and CD90,which both were makrers of mesenchymal stem cells.Besides,BMSCs could express nerve culluar markers such as NSE,GFAP,suggesting multi-directional differentiation.(2) The result of MTT showed DAPT could inhibit the cell proliferation in a time-dependent manner and a dose-dependent mannar.Besides,DAPT could inhibit the expression of target gene of Notch signal pathway in a time-dependent manner and a dosedependent mannar.After treated by 1,5,20 μmol DAPT,the expression of Hes1 had reached to 92.06％,71.40％ and 46.89％ of controls respectively,suggesting efficiency of inhibition on Notch reached 7.94％,28.6％ and 53.11％ respectively (all P＜ 0.05).(3) Indirect immunofluorescence staining showed the expression of pancreas-specific markers such as insulin and glucagon were much higher in DAPT treated BMSCs than that in controls,which was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blotting analyses.The proportion of insulin-producing cells differentiated from DAPT treated BMSCs was (74.03 ± 3.96)％,which was higher than that from controls[(36.49 ± 3.24)％,P＜ 0.05].(4)Furthermore,RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis showed that the expressions of Pdx-1 and Ngn3 were earlier than that of insulin and glucagon,and the expressions of Pdx-1 and Ngn3 were higher in DAPT treated BMSCs than that in controls.Conclusions Notch signaling pathway plays a role in the differentiation of BMSCs into islet in vitro.Pharmacological interference with Notch signaling pathway may provide a novel method to obtain islet for therapeutic use.

Objective To investigate the mechanism that cause allelic dropout of amelogenin gene on X chromosome(Amel-X)when using routine Sullivan106/112 bp primer set in sex identification and discuss its influence on the forensic sex identification and the clinical diagnosis.Methods Amel-X dropout was validated with Sullivan212/218 bp and Haas-Rochholz80/83 bp primer sets.Amplification of amelogenin gene was used to analyze dropout of the Amex-X followed by sequencin.Results Sullivan212/218 bp and Hgas-Rochholz80/83 bp primer sets could be used to identify gender correctly.Three types of point mntation were observed in the forward primer binding region of the Sullivan106/112 bp primer set by sequencing in the lost Amel-X,including single point mutation at 2nd and 13th sites,respectively,and heterozygous multiple point mutations at 2nd and 13th sites.Conclusions Point mutation in the primer binding region may result in a failure to amplify amelogenin allele and thus lead to a null allele.This finding should be mid attention to because it may interfere with the sex identification.

Objective To obtain a global view of cytokine profile in lupus nephritis (LN), and to co-mpare the pattern of cytokine profile in patients with different renal lesions, primarily diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis (Ⅳ-LN) and membranous lupus nephritis (Ⅴ-LN). Methods Thirtypatients with biopsy proven active LN (class Ⅳ, n=15; class Ⅴ, n=15) and 15 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Serum conc-entration of Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-1, IL-2, and TNF-α) and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13) were simultaneously analyzed using Fast Quant Human Th1/Th2 protein array. Results ① Cytokine profiling: in patients with class Ⅳ-LN, the levels of most of the detected cytokines elevated marked compared to normal controls, including both Th1 (IL-2, INF-γ and TNF-α) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13) cytokines. Among them, both Th1 (INF-γ and TNF-α) and Th2 (IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13) cytokines were 10 times higher than normal controls. However, patients with class Ⅴ LN demonstrated a different cytokine pro-filing compared to class Ⅳ LN. Only 4 out of 9 cytokines were significantly increased. In addition to IL-2, all of those cytokines produced by Th2 (IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13) as well as IL-10 was 10 times higher than normal controls. The main difference of cytokines between patients with class Ⅳ LN and patients with class Ⅴ LN was among Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2 and TNF-α). There was a significant correlation between clinical manifestations and cytokines in class Ⅳ LN, especially among Th2 cytokine. There was positive correlation between IL-5 and anti-dsDNA titer(r=0.708, P<0.05), IL-5 and creatinin(r=0.681, P<0.05) and IL-10 and SLEDAI scores (r=0.877, P<0.0 ). On the other hand, there was also negative correlation between some Th2 cytokines and clinical manifestations. There was negative correlation between IL-5 and complement C3 level (r=-0.643, P<0.05), IL-10 and proteinuria(r=-0.659, P<0.O5), IL-10 and hemoglobin level (r=-0.856, P<0.001), as well as IL-13 and proteinuria (r=-0.769, P<0.05). In addition, IL-1 was positive correlated with SLEDAI, while it was negatively correlated with bemoglobulin level. As for class Ⅴ LN, there was positive correlation between IL-1 and creatinin level (r=0.784, P<0.05), but negative correlation between IL-4 and proteinuria (r=-0.754, P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with class Ⅳ renal lesion have shown a broad changes of cytokine activity, while up-regulation of Th2 cytokines is more predominant in patients with class Ⅴ LN. These suggest that the expression of different cytokines may be associated with different patterns of lupus renal lesions. These findings may shed light on the further exploring of the underlying mechanisms that mediate different patterns of renal lesions, as well as designing a rational therapeutic strategy for the treatment of LN.
