Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(24):4787-4790
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation of serum resistin and adiponectJn Ievels with bone mineral density(BMD)in 232 healthy male volunteers in Changsha area.METHODS:A totaI of 232 healthy Chinese men of Han population were selected randomly from Changsha area.All subjects gave their informed consent to participate in this study.Subjects were excluded from the study if they had conditions or received treatment that affecting bone metabolism.Serum adiponectin and resistin levels were determined by ELISA.BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in total body,lumbar spine,and total hip.Body fat mass and lean body mass were measured by the whole body scanning.The correlation of serum adiponectin and resistin levels with fat mass and BMD at various sites were analyzed;the predictors of BMD at various sites was assayed using multiple linear stepwise regression analysis.RESULTS:Adiponectin was negatively correlated with fat mass(r=-0.216.P<0.05),while resistin had no correlation with fat mass.The correlation disappeared after adjustment for age and fat mass(r=-0.006,P>0.05).The significant negative correlations between adiponectin and BMD were found,and remained significant after adjustment for age and fat mass.There was no correlation between resistin and BMD at various sites.In the multiple linear stepwise regression analysis.adiponectin was an independent predictor of BMD in men.CONCLUSION:Resistin js not correlated with fat mass and BMD at various sites.Adiponectin is correlated with fat mass,and has a negative correlation with BMD at various sites,it is an independent predictor of BMD in Chinese men.

Time resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) was used to detect the serum level of pepsinogen (PG).And the 13C urea breath test (13C-UBT) was employed to detect the Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection rate for 1060 subjects of health check-up.Statistics showed that the serum PGⅠ level of males was significantly higher than that of females.And the ratio of females with PG Ⅰ < 60 μg/L and PG Ⅰ < 60 μg/L + PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ < 6 was significantly higher than that of males.The PG Ⅱ level increased with age while PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ decreased.The PG Ⅰ level rose gradually until age of 60 and then maintained at a high level.For the HP-positive group,the serum levels PG Ⅰ and PG Ⅱ were significantly higher than those of the HP-negative group.And the PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ratio was significantly lower than that of the HP-negative group.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of carbamylated erythropoietin(CEPO)on cardiovascular microcirculation in rats with diabetes mellitus. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into blank control group,model group,CEPO low-dose,medi-um-dose and high-dose groups(500,1 000,2 000 u/kg)with 12 in each group. The rats in the last 4 groups were reduced diabetes mellitus model. All rats were given relevant medicine intragastrically twice a week,coronary microcirculation endothelial cells were separated after consecutive 4 weeks. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was conducted to detect levels of peripheral serum prosta-cyclin (PGI2),vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1),angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) of rats in each group;in vitro CCK 8 test was used to detect endothelial cell activity(OD value);real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was adopted to detect proliferation-related genes(Ki67,p16),poptosis-related genes(Bad,Bax),and expressions of protein vas-cular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and AngⅠ. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,levels of PGI2,ET-1,AngⅡand vWF in serum in model group increased;OD value deceased;Ki67,p16,Bax and VEGF expression decreased;the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with model group,levels of PGI2,ET-1,AngⅡ and vWF in serum in CEPO low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups increased;OD value increased;Ki67,p16 and VEGF expression increased;expres-sions of Bad and Bax decreased;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The others had no significant difference(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:CEPO maybe improve the coronary microcirculation function by upregulating VEGF expression in coro-nary microcirculation endothelial cells and promoting endothelial cells’regeneration.

Methods The monoclonal antibody (McAb) 101# was coated on the 96 well plates, anti-tPSA McAb 102# was labeled with Sm 3+ and anti-fPSA McAb 201# was labeled with Eu 3+ .The standard curves were given out by Log-Log_B function of the DEFIA instrument.The levels of PSA in sera from patients or healthy volunteers were determined by t/fPSA TRFIA using the autoDELFIA_ 1235 system.Results The measurement ranges of tPSA-TRFIA were 0.02-250 ?g/L and those of fPSA-TRFIA were 0.05-250 ?g/L. The within-run and between-run CVs of the tPSA-TRFIA were 2.38% and 3.91%, respectively, and those of fPSA-TRFIA were 3.16% and 3.34%, respectively. The recovery rates of tPSA-TRFIA and fPSA-TRFIA were 101.3% and 103.2%, respectively.The detection limitations of tPSA and fPSA were 0.05 ?g/L and 0.02 ?g/L,respectively.The average results of health group benign prostate disease patients,prostate cancer patients for tPSA were 1.4 ?g/L,4.3 ?g/L,14.2 ?g/L,and those of fPSA were 0.3 ?g/L,1.5 ?g/L,6.2 ?g/L.The cut-off point condition for benign prostate disease and malignant prostate cancer was tPSA
