Objectives To investigate the possible role of perforin (PFN) in the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.Methods Thirty-two cases of severe preeclampsia were included in the study.Thirtytwo cases of normal pregnancy were selected as control group in random.The expression of PFN mRNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was detected by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, and its correlation with mean arterial pressure was analyzed in severe preeclamptic patients.The expression of PFN protein in the decidua was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results ( 1 ) The expression of PFN mRNA in PBMC:the PFN mRNA level in severe preeclamptic group was 1.19 ± 0.31, and that in normal pregnancy group is 0.82 ± 0.28.The PFN mRNA level in severe preeclamptic group was significantly higher than that of control group (P ＜ 0.0l ).(2)Correlation analysis:the mean blood pressure in severe preeclampsia group was (133 ±5) mm Hg( 1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa).There was significant positive correlation between level of PFN mRNA in PBMC and mean blood pressure in severe preeclamptic patients ( r = 0.701, P = 0.000).(3)Decidual PFN protein expression:PFN protein was mainly expressed in lymphocytes and the cytoplasm of decidual stromal cells.The positive ratio of PFN in the decidua of severe preeclamptic patients was 84% ( 27/32), significantly higher than that of control group (53%, 17/32, P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Expression of PFN was significantly increased in severe preeclampsia, and it was of significant positive correlation with mean blood pressure.PFN may participate in the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.

Objective To establish cell model of Parkinson's disease(PD)and to approach the toxic effect of rotenone on dopaminergic neurons and its mechanism.Methods PC12 cells were differentiated into dopaminergic neurons and treated with various concentrations of rotenone.The morphological changes of PC12 cells were observed after treated with rotenone(0,10,25,50,75,and 100 nmol?L-1)for 24,48 and 72 h,the cell viability was measured by MTT assay.Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to observe the accumulation of ?-synuclein in cytoplasm.AO/EB double staining was also adopted to test apoptosis.Results After differentiation PC12 cells shaped irregularly with big and long ecptomas and multiple cell conjunctions.After the treatment of rotenone cell ecptomas vanished gradually and cell bodies became smaller and smoother.The cell viability began to decline significantly at a concentration of 50 nmol?L-1 for 24 h(P

Objective To investigate the cytotoxicity of silica nanoparticles on vascular endothelial cells, and to clarify its action mechanism.Methods The 60 nm silica nanoparticle was selected and the invitro cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)were used as cell model.The HUVECs were divided into control and silica nanoparticle exposure groups with concentrations of 12.5,25.0,and 100.00 mg·L-1 .MTT assay was used for the determination of cell viability,lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)release assay for membrane integrity,flow cytometry (FCM)for intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)content,and real-time PCR assay for intracellular NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2 ), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1 ), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2 ) and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC)mRNA levels.Results The MTT results showed that the cell viabilities in each silica nnaoparticle exposure group were decreased compared with control group in a dose-dependent manner. Upon the silica nanoparticle exposure for 12 h,the cell viability was declined significantly only in 100 mg·L-1 exposure group compared with control group (P<0.05).When exposured for 24 h,the cell viabilities in 25.0, 50.0,and 100.0 mg·L-1 exposure groups were declined significantly compared with control group (P<0.05). Under the exposure to silica nanoparticle with the same dose, the cell viabilities were decreased along with the elongation of exposure time.LDH assay and FCM showed that except for that in 12.5 mg·L-1 exposure group, both the LDH activities in media and intracellular ROS levels in other exposure groups were increased compared with control group (P<0.05 ). The results of real-time fluorescence PCR showed that the mRNA levels of Nrf2, HO-1,SOD2 and GCLC in 100 mg·L-1 silica nanoparticle exposure group were increased significantly compared with control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Silica nanoparticles have toxicity to vascular endothelial cells,which includes reducing cell viability,membrane integrity destruction,induction of ROS generation,and tranSCriptional regulation of redox-related factors. Oxidative damage is one of the mechanisms of vascular endothelial toxicity mediated by silica nanoparticles.

Objective To analyze the independent risk factors associated with acute kidney injury(AKI)after Sun’s pro-cedure in the patients with acute aortic dissection .Methods Clinical data of 400 patients who underwent Sun ’ s procedure from February 2009 to August 2013 were collected.Data included preoperative GFR, Cleveland values, CPB time and fluid balance of 24 h intra and after operation were gathered .The patients were divided into the group of AKI and the group of non-AKI accounting to the changing of serum creatinine.Results AKI was occurred in 150(37.5%) patients.Hospital mortality in AKI group was significant higher than that in the non-AKI group(11.3% vs.2.4%, P<0.05).Univariable analysis re-vealed male, BWI, hypertension, preoperative MAP,WBC, eGFR, Cleveland value, cardiopulmonary bypass time, intra and postoperative fluid balance for 24 h have significant difference between 2 groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed hypertension, Cleveland value, cardiopulmonary bypass time and fluid balance were independent risk factors for AKI .Conclu-sion AKI after acute aortic dissection was a severe complication .Hypertension, Cleveland value, cardiopulmonary time and fluid balance were associated with AKI.

Objective To observe the muscles and skeleton involvement surrounding sacroiliac joint (SIJ) of axial seronegative spondyloarthropathy (SPA) patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),and to analyze the relationship between them.Methods A prospective study of 38 patients who meet the 2009 axial SpA diagnostic criteria was conducted.We carried out MRI of the SIJ for these patients to evaluate the muscles and skeleton involvement.Those cases were divided into muscles differences between the two groups of image scores,including Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) scores and Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada MRI Sacroiliac Joint Structural Score (SPARCC SSS).The extent of muscles edema in patients with sacroiliac joints was ranked into twelve grades from 0-12,and we did Spearman rank correlation test of muscles edema scope and two indexes.Results We found that 28 cases (73.68％) of the 38 patients had significant muscle involvement by analyzing the STIR sequence,and found erector spinae in 22 cases (57.89 ％)gluteal muscles in 13 cases (34.21 ％),iliacus muscle in 11 cases (28.95 ％),obturator muscle in 5 cases (13.16％),piriform muscle in 5 cases (13.16％) and other 4 cases (10.53％).SPARCC (t =2.28,P =0.03) and SPARCC SSS (t =3.37,P =0.00) were statistically different between the two groups.SPARCC (P =0.00,r =0.67) and SPARCC SSS (P-0.01,r =0.47) were positively correlated with the extent of muscles edema.Conclusions The muscles edema around sacroiliac joint is an important sign of axial SpA magnetic resonance imaging.Patients who had muscles edema tended to have more serious skeleton changes.

Objective To investigate the role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in spinal dorsal horns in neuropathic pain (NP) in rats and its effect on activation of astrocytes.Methods In vivo experiment Sixty-four male SPF Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 180-200 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table:control group (group C,n =16),sham operation group (group S,n =24) and group NP (n =24).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium,the L5,6 spinal nerves of the left side of the rat were gently separated and exposed,tightly ligated with 5-0 silk suture and transected.In group S,the L5,6 spinal nerves of the left side of the rat were only exposed.In group C,no operation was performed.Mechanical pain threshold was measured at day 1 before operation and days 1,3,5,7,10 and 14 after operation.The expression of IL-17,IL-6,IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was determined using quantitative real-time PCR at day 7 and day 14 after operation.At day 7 after operation,the activation of astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn was detected.In vitro experiment Primarily cultured astrocytes of neonatal rats were randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table:control group (group C,n=22),10 ng/ml IL-17 group (I10 group,n=18),50 ng/ml IL-17 group (I50 group,n-18) and 100 ng/ml IL-17 group (I100 group,n=22).In I10,I50 and I100 groups,the astrocytes were incubated with the culture medium containing 10,50 and 100 ng/ml IL-17,respectively.The proliferation of astrocytes was detected by MTT at 24,48 and 72 h of incutation or culture.The expression of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA was determined using quantitative real-time PCR.Results In vivo experiment Compared with group C,the mechanical pain threshold was significantly decreased at 3-14 days after operation,the expression of IL-17,IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was up-regualted at 7 days after operation,and the activation of astrocytes was increased in group NP,and no significant change was detected in the mechanical pain threshold at each time point after operation in group S.In vitro experiment Compared with group C,the proliferation of astrocytes was significantly increased at 48 h of incubation in I10 and I50 groups,the proliferation of astrocytes was significantly increased at 48 and 72 h of incubation,and the expression of IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA was up-regulated in I100 group,and no significant change was found in the proliferation of astrocytes in group S.Conclusion Up-regulated expression of IL-17 in spinal dorsal horns may be involved in the maintenance of NP,and the mechanism is related to promoted activation of astrocytes and induced inflammatory responses in rats.
