Objective To investigate the role of β-endorphin (β-EP) in conA-induced spleen cell proliferation after traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Methods ①Wistar rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock were used and killed 0, 1, 3, 6,12 and 24 h after traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Plasma specimens were collected and β-EP levels in plasma were detected. Rats with sham-operation served as the control. ②Spleen cells isolated from normal rats were cultured in shock plasma (group Ⅰ), inactivated shock plasma (group Ⅱ) and shock plasma+β-EP antiserum (group Ⅲ) respectively. Con A-induced spleen cell proliferation was observed. Results ①The plasma β-EP level was elevated significantly immediately after shock, and reached the peak 1 h later, then showed a deceasing tendency and restored to the level as before shock at 24 h. ②Shock plasma remarkedly suppressed spleen cell response to the mitogen conA (P<0.01) compared with control; ConA-induced spleen cell proliferative function in group Ⅱ was significantly increased than that in group Ⅰ (P<0.01), so did in group Ⅲ, which still lower than in control. Conclusion The significantly elevated β-EP in the plasma after hemorrhagic shock might play an important role in inhibiting the proliferation of spleen cells.

Objective To investigate the role of plasma ? endorphin(? EP) in the regulation of cellular immunity, mainly IL 2R expression and IL 2 production in rat splenic cells, following traumatic hemorrhagic shock(T HS). Methods ①Wistar rats with T HS were used and sacrificed at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after T HS. Plasma specimens were collected and ? EP levels in plasma were detected. Rats with sham operation were served as the controls. ②Models of in vitro experiment were used. Spenic cells were isolated and mixed from four normal rats and cocultured with shock plasma or shock plasma+? EP antiserum. ConA induced splenic cell IL 2 production and IL 2R expression were observed. Results ①Level of plasma ? EP increased remarkably after T HS immediately, peaked at 1 h, showed decreasing tendency and restored to pre shock level 24 h after T HS. ②Shock plasma significantly suppressed ConA induced splenic cell function; Levels of plasma ? EP were negatively correlated with IL 2 production and IL 2R expression in spenic cells; Compared with that in SP group, splenic cell function elevated markedly in SP+? EP antiserum group, but was still lower than that in controls. Conclusion The increased plasma ? EP following T HS is involved in the suppression of cellular immunity.

Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) was cloned as an human immunodeficiency virus -1-inducible and tumor necrosis factor-α-inducible transcript in primary human fetal astrocytes by a rapid subtraction hybridization approach. AEG-1 down-regulates the expression of the glutamate transporter EAAT2, thus, it is implicated in glutamate-induced excitotoxic damage to neurons as evident in HIV-associated neurodegeneration. Meanwhile, AEG-1 expression is elevated in subsets of breast cancer, prostatic cancer, glioblastoma multiforme and melanoma cells, having a dual specificity phosphatase activity. Overexpression of AEG-1 increases and siRNA inhibition of AEG-1 decreases migration and invasion of human glioma cells, respectively. Recent observations indicate that AEG-1 exerts its effects by activating the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway and AEG-1 is a downstream target of Ha-ras and plays an important role in Ha-ras-mediated tumorigenesis. These findings are intensifying interest in AEG-1 as a crucial regulator of tumor progression and metastasis and as a potential mediator of neurodegeneration.

Purpose To establish normative reference ranges of fetal azygos vein between gestation 20.0 and 40.0 weeks and analyze the possible correlation between azygos vein diameter and gestational age.Materials and Methods Retrospectively analyzed the data which collected from pregnant women with singleton pregnancies,1375 fetuses with normal outcome were included.The gestation was from 20.0 weeks to 40.0 weeks.The research objects were divided into 5 groups according to their gestational age and were examined standardized.The fetal normal reference value of azygos vein and its correlation with gestational ages were analyzed.Results The normal reference value of the fetal azygos vein diameter was established.We found that a significant increase linear between the diameter of fetal azygos vein and the gestation age.There was no obvious correlation with sex.The ratio of azygos vein and descending aorta inner diameter was about 0.36.There was on obvious changes in different gestational ages.Conclusions Fetal echocardiography technology can accurately assess fetal cardiac structure,the establishment normal reference value of azygos vein diameter could provide guidance for fetal echocardiography examination.

AIM: To explore the role of plasma ?-endorphin(?-EP) in the suppression of cellular immunity following trauma-hemorrhagic shock(T-HS). METHODS: ① Wistar rats with T-HS were sacrificed at 0 h, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h after T-HS. Plasma sample was collected and ?-EP levels in plasma was measured. Rats with sham-operated were served as the controls. ②In in vitro experiment, splenic cells were isolated and mixed from four normal rats and cocultured with shock plasma (SP) or SP +?-EP antiserum. ConA-induced splenic cell proliferation, IL-2 production, IL-2R expression were examined. RESULTS: ① Levels of plasma ?-EP elevated remarkably after T-HS immediately, peaked at 1h , showed decreasing tendency and restored normal 24 h after T-HS. ② Shock plasma significantly suppressed ConA-induced splenic cell function. Levels of plasma ?-EP were negatively correlated with spenic cell proliferation and IL-2 production and IL-2R expression. Compared with SP group, splenic cell function elevated markedly in SP + ?-EP antiserum group, but still lower than that in controls. CONCLUSION: The elevated plasma ?-EP following T-HS was involved in the suppression of cellular immunity.

Objective To explore the value of ultrasound scoring system in predicting the type and risk of placenta accreta.Methods Clinical data of 180 placenta accreta patients who delivered in the Peking University Third Hospital between January 2005 and November 2014,were retrospectively analyzed.Prenatal ultrasonographic features were analyzed,including position and thickness of the placenta,disappearance of hypoechoes in posterior placenta,continuousness of bladder line,existence of lacuna,condition of the subplacental vascularity,completeness of cervical morphology,existence of cervical sinus,and history of cesarean section.A score of 0,1 or 2 was given to each item,and a sum-up was calculated for each patient.The cut-off scores of patients with placenta accreta,placenta increta and placenta percreta were calculated by receiver operating characteristic carve,respectively.At the same time,blood loss and hysterectomy rate were compared among the three groups.Variance analysis,rank sum or Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis.Results Among the 180 cases,there were 115 cases of placenta accreta,38 of planceta increta and 27 of placenta percreta.Placenta increta and percreta were defined as the severe type.Blood loss in placenta accreta was lower than in the severe type [200 (100-4 000) ml vs 3 025 (100-15 000) ml,P<0.01].There was no difference in blood loss between patients with placenta increta or percreta (P=0.350).No hysterectomy was performed for patients with placenta accreta,the rate being lower than in the severe type [0 vs 29.2% (19/65),P<0.01].Among the severe type,18.4% (7/38) of the placenta increta patients underwent hysterectomy,the rate being lower than in placenta percreta patients [44.4% (12/27),P<0.01].The score in placenta accreta was lower than in the severe type [(1.88± 1.45) vs (7.01 ±2.15) scores,P<0.01].In the severe type,the score in placenta increta was lower than in placenta percreta [(6.08 ± 2.62) vs (8.74 ± 2.75),P<0.01].The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the cut-off score of placenta accreta and the severe type was 5 [area under the curve (AUC)=94.3%,the score ≥ 4.5,the sensitivity=81.5%,and the specificity=95.7%],the cut-off score of placenta accreta and increta was 3 (AUC=91.1%,score ≥ 2.5,the sensitivity=92.1%,and the specificity=75.7%),and the cut-off score of placenta increta and percreta was 10 (AUC=74.6%,score ≥ 9.5,the sensitivity=55.6%,and the specificity=89.5%).Conclusions Ultrasound scoring system is effective in assessing types of placenta accreta and predicting its associate risks,and alerting the possibility of hysterectomy.It also facilitates preoperative planning and guides physicians in formulating subsequent treatment plans.Placenta accreta and the severe type (placenta increta and percreta) can be distinguished by cut-offscores ≥ 5,and a score ≥ 10 implies a higher risk of placenta percreta.
