Objective To observe the effect of exposure of emphysema with intermittent hypoxia on oxidative stress injury of myocardial cells in rats. Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were divided randomly into four experimental groups(each n=15). The normal control group was bred normally. The emphysema group was exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day(once 30 minutes). The intermittent hypoxia(IH)group was exposed to intermittent hypoxia circumstance 8 hours/day,and the emphysema with IH group was exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day (once 30 minutes)and intermittent hypoxia circumstance 8 hours/day. Each group was exposed for 8 weeks. At the beginning of 9 weeks,the blood gas analysis was performed in 5 rats selected randomly from each group,and the rest rats were sacrificed and their hearts and lungs were taken. Under light microscope,the lung tissues stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE)were examined. The lung pathology and the results of blood gas analysis showed that the emphysema with IH rat model was established successfully. The levels of malonaldehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)in rat myocardium were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and the subunit p22phox mRNA expressions of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)-oxidase were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Results Compared with the normal group, the MDA levels and p22phox mRNA expressions were increased obviously in emphysema group, IH group and emphysema with IH group〔MDA(μmol/g):2.93±0.54, 3.58±0.63, 4.51±0.72 vs. 1.75±0.56, p22phox mRNA:0.043±0.004,0.067±0.015,0.123±0.016 vs. 0.018±0.002,all P<0.05〕,but the activities of SOD were decreased significantly(U/mg:36.07±4.79,33.51±7.12,24.29±5.36 vs. 46.08±5.12,all P<0.05). In emphysema with IH group,the increase of MDA levels and p22phox mRNA expressions and decrease of SOD levels were more remarkable compared with those in emphysema group and IH group(all P<0.05). The expression of p22phox mRNA was positively correlated with MDA level(r=0.734,P<0.001). Conclusion The myocardial tissue oxidative stress injury in rats induced by emphysema with intermittent hypoxia exposure is more serious than that induced by exposure of either emphysema or intermittent hypoxia alone,NADPH oxidase possibly being the important medium of myocardial cell response to oxidative stress.

Objective To observe the application effect of the risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm(ROMA)in screening ovarian cancer among high risk population.Methods The human epididymis protein 4(HE4)and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125 )were detected in 1 753 cases of high risk for overian cancer,56 cases of ovarian cancer(positive control)and 60 healthy people,patients. Then the ROMA value was calculated in combination with the subject′s menstruation status.The detection results were analyzed and compared among groups.The high risk group for ovarian cancer devided according to the ROMA value was further performed the confirmatory test and the low risk group was monitored by follow up.The detection rates of ovarian cancer were compared be-tween the two subgroups.Results In the high risk population,the diagnostic performance of the ROMA value for ovarian cancer was superior to that of the single HE4 or CA125;the ROMA value had statistically significant difference between the high risk sub-group in the high-risk population with ovarian cancer or the healthy control group(P <0.05);in 1 753 cases of high risk popula-tion,37 cases were included in the high risk subgroup,in which 3 cases of ovarian cancer were screened out and in clinical early stage.The detection rate of ovarian cancer in the high risk subgroup was 8.1%.No case of ovarian cancer was detected out in the low risk subgroup.Conclusion The ROMA value is conducive to early screening for ovarian cancer in the high risk population, which can save the medical cost and increase the detection rate.

Objective To investigate the expression of Foxp3~+ lymphocytes in breast carcinoma tissues and their correlation with other pathological factors,and to investigate the mechanism of action of Treg cells.Methods The expression of Foxp3~+ lymphocytes in the breast cancer tissue and non-cancerous tissue was detected by flow cytometry (FCM) in 30 breast carcinoma patients, and its correlation with other pathological factors was statistically analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis.The expression of TGF-β and IL-10 in the lymphocytes infiltrated in breast cancer tissue and non-cancerous tissue was measured by immunohistochemistry, and their correlation with the expression of Foxp3~+ lymphocytes was statistically analyzed by linear correlation dependability analysis. Results There was significant difference in the expression of Foxp3~+ lymphocytes between the malignant and non-cancerous breast tissues(P<0.05),and it was positively correlated with the clinical stage,blood vessel invasion and the matter of axillary lymph node metastasis(P<0.05). The expression of IL-10 in the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes was positively correlated with the expression of Foxp3~+ lymphocytes(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression level of Foxp3~+ lymphocytes is correlated with invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma, and the IL-10 secreted by Foxp3~+ lymphocytes may be involved in this effect.Foxp3~+ lymphocytes can be used as an assistant marker for prediction and new therpeutic target of breast cancer.

Aim To investigate the effect of ginkgolide B on junctional proteins in ox-LDL-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) . Methods After incubation with ginkgolide B ( 0 . 2 ,0 . 4 ,0 . 6 g · L-1 ) for 1 h, HUVECs were treated with ox-LDL (0. 1 g·L-1 ) for 4 h. The expressions of JAM-A and Cx43 were analyzed with Western blot and immunofluo-rescence. The effect of ginkgolide B on vascular per-meability was analyzed by Transwell experiments. Re-sults JAM-A and Cx43 expressions increased by 22%and 24% in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs, respectively. Whereas ginkgolide B significantly decreased JAM-A and Cx43 expressions. LY294002, a specific inhibitor of PI3K, suppressed JAM-A and Cx43 expressions in ox-LDL-stimulated cells. Ginkgolide B potently re-duced monocyte migration in ox-LDL-treated cells. Conclusion Ginkgolide B significantly suppresses JAM-A and Cx43 expressions, and reduces monocyte migration in ox-LDL-stimulated cells. This demon-strates that ginkgolide B can improve vascular permea-bility. The mechanism might be associated with the in-hibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of intermittent hypoxia (IH) with pulmonary emphysema on the ex-pression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),Bax and Bcl-2, and the mechanism underlying the role of HIF-1αin he-patocyte apoptosis thereof. Methods Sixty rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, rats were treated normally;IH group, rats were treated by 30 s nitrogen and then 90 s air, and rats were treated by from 9:00-17:00 daily;pulmonary emphysema group, rats were treated by smudging for half an hour, twice a day (8:00 and 18:00);IH with pul-monary emphysema group, rats were treated by 30 s nitrogen and then 90 s air from 9:00-17:00 daily. After exposure four-teen weeks, rats were killed. qRT-PCR assay was conducted to detect the expression of HIF-1α mRNA, Bax mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA in live tissues. Results The expressions of HIF-1αmRNA, Bax mRNA and Bax/Bcl-2 were significantly higher in IH with pulmonary emphysema group than those in control group,IH group and pulmonary emphysema group (P<0.05). The expression level of Bcl-2 mRNA was significantly lower in IH with pulmonary emphysema group than that of con-trol group and pulmonary emphysema group (P < 0.05), but no significant difference compared with that of IH group (P >0.05). The levels of HIF-1αand Bax were positively correlated with the level of Bax/Bcl-2 (r=0.732 and 0.699),but the lev-els of HIF-1αand Bax were negatively correlated with the level of Bcl-2 (r=-0.705). Conclusion The expression levels of HIF-1αmRNA, Bax mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA were over-regulated in hepatocytes induced by intermittent hypoxia with pul-monary emphysema. The HIF-1αexpression was correlated with Bax and Bcl-2, suggesting that HIF-1αmay promote the hepatocyte apoptosis through transcriptional co-activators, Bax and Bcl-2.

Objective To investigate the error monitoring function damages on the patients with schizo?phrenia ( SCH) . Methods A total of 32 patients with schizophrenia were compared with matched 34 health con?trols ( HC) on the error monitoring tasks which were compiled by E?Prime. Results The comparison between SCH group ((713.22±174.52)ms,( 491.14±170.29) ms,( 1060.31±130.84) ms,(8.28±12.55)time,( 8.00± 7.53)time respectively) and HC group ((560.73±156.94) ms,(395.62±188.03) ms,(989.85±104.33) ms, (2.97±4.13) times,(3.12±6.50) times) on the reaction time of choice,assessment,incongruent condition,the numbers of uncertain and the numbers of dropout were significant ( t=-3.737, P=0.000;t=-2.159, P=0.035;t=-2.426, P=0.018;t=-2.282, P=0.022;t=-2.824, P=0.006) . The SCH group and HC group did not signifi?cantly difference in Full Correct((124.72±23.74)/(131.74±21.96)times),Full Error((15.69±17.64)/(13.35± 18.63)times),Part Correct((6.83±10.40)/(4.21±7.03)times),Part Error((2.91±10.91)/(0.62±1.10)times) and Accuracy((0.831±0.161)/(0.874±0.159))(P>0.05).There was no significantly correlation among the course of disease,HAMA,HAMD and the error monitoring. Conclusion These results demonstrate that the error monitoring function damages on the patient with SCH may be involved in the dysfunction of anterior cingulate cortex.

Aim To investigate the effect of resveratrol on ROS level and PECAM-1 expression in ox-LDL-stimulated platelets. Methods The expression of PE-CAM-1 , Sirt1 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation in ox-LDL-stimulated platelets was determined by Western blot. The level of ROS was measured by immunofluo-rescence kit. Results ox-LDL induced platelet aggre-gation by 14%, whereas resveratrol inhibited platelet aggregation by 50%. Resveratrol decreased ROS level by 3 . 2 fold and completely suppressed PECAM-1 expression in ox-LDL-treated platelets. Resveratrol re-covered Sirt1 expression in ox-LDL-treated platelets. EX527 ( a Sirt1 inhibitor ) increased ROS level and PECAM-1 expression in ox-LDL-stimulated platelets. Meanwhile, resveratrol also suppressed p38MAPK phosphorylation induced by ox-LDL. Conclusion Resveratrol can inhibit platelet aggregation, decrease ROS production and PECAM-1 expression in ox-LDL-stimulated platelets. The mechanism maybe associated with recovery of Sirt1 expression. Moreover, resveratrol can decrease PECAM-1 expression, which may be linked to abolishing p38MAPK phosphorylation.
