Objective:To investigate and compare the effect and the possible mechanisms of 2 hypoxia-inducible factors(HIF) 1? and 2? on renal cell carcinoma(RCC) by RNA interference(RNAi) method.Methods: Chemically synthesized HIF-1? and HIF-2? RNAi were transfected into RCC cell line A498 by liposome transient transfection.Normal proximal tubule cell line HK-2 and A498 were separately treated with medium and liposome as controls.The expressions of VEGF,ET-1,bcl-2 and Ki67 were observed by RT-PCR or Western blot 24 h after RNAi.Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy.Results: Expressions of HIF-1? and HIF-2? RNAi were higher in A498 than those in HK-2,and the 2 genes were successfully blocked after RNAi.HIF-1? RNAi resulted in a significant decrease of ET-1,bcl-2 and Ki67 expression,with increased apoptosis and necrosis of cells.HIF-2? RNAi only resulted in a decrease of VEGF.Conclusion: Both HIF-1? and HIF-2? play important roles in regulation of angiogenesis; moreover,HIF-1? might also regulate proliferation of tumor cells,possibly through regulating anti-apoptotic genes.It is implied the existance of different transcription regulation functions and gene combining sites between HIF-1? and HIF-2?.

In this study, acute cardiac ischemia was induced by ligation of the anterior descending branch of the coronary artery in rats. Radioimmunoassay was conducted to measure the contents of immunoreactive beta - en-dorphin (ir-?-EP)after ischemia and fructose -1,6 - diphosphate (FDP) treatment. Results showed that the contents of ir-?-EP were in-cereased in the plasma, some brain areas, pituitary and myocardium after ligation of the left coronary artery of the rats which resulted in the deterioration of the cardiac function includingdp/dtmax, Lvsp, total areas of force loop and blood pressure. Intravenous administration of FDP improved cardiac function and reduced the contents of ir - ? - EP in the above mentioned tissues suggesting that ir-?-EP correlate closely with cardiac function after ischemia,the reduction of which was possibly involved in the improve ment of cardiac function by FDP.

Objective To analyze the related factors of relapse of leukemia after transplantation of nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells. Methods Among the twenty-nine patients with acute leukemia who received transplantation of nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells, relapse of leukemia occurred in 5 patients. The nonmyeloablative protocol included the pretreatment of CD3 monoclonal antibody, cyclosporine A, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and fludarabine was added in 3 patients. Results All the 5 patients went through smoothly the hematopoietic suppression stage, and engraftment of the donor cells was successful. Leukemia relapsed in 4 patients with full donor chimerism (full donor chimerism was converted from the mixed chimerism in 2 patients), and relapse occurred in 1 patient with stable mixed chimerism. Except for 1 patient, all of them did not show acute GVHD or chronic GVHD. Second complete remission after double transplant was achieved in one patient, but leakemia relapsed in two months. In other four patients treatment was given up. Conclusion Transplantation of nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells is a safe and effective method for the treatment of acute leukemia.

Objective To observe the changes of the content of ATP,lactate and the activity of phosphofructokinase(PFK) in perihemotoma region in rabbit brain after intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods(The rabbits) were divided into 3 groups: normal group(N),hemorrhage group (H) and the sham group(S). The H and S groups were subdivided into 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h groups. A model of cerebral hemorrhage in rabbit with autologous blood infusion was set. The contents of ATP, lactate and water in perihemotoma region were measured and the metabolite concentration in edematous brain regions were corrected for dilution. The activity of phosphofructokinase was also determined.Results There was obvious edema in perihemotoma region at 1 hour postinfusion and getting more serious at 72 hours. ATP was moderately decreased at 1 hour, and remained in a similar level until 12 hours. There appeared another evident decrease in 24 hours [(13.29?2.92) ?g/g, about 58% of N group], and no obvious changes from 24 to 72 hours. The content of lactate increased in 1 hour and reached the peak at 12 hours [(21.01?0.18) ?mol/g]. Until 72 hours , the level of lactate [(12.89?0.25) ?mol/g] in hemorrhage group reach higher than in the normal and sham group. The activity of phosphofructokinase was decreased at 1 hour [(3.98?0.02) U/mg] and remained in a decreasing tendency to 72 hours. Conclusion The failure of energy metabolism occurs in 24 hours postinfusion,coming late somewhat to the brain edema. The result might be related to the changes of some enzymes, maybe a key role in energy metabolism.

AIM: To investigate the effects of Dihuang Yizhi Extract(DHYZE) on learning-memory ability and the central cholinergic system of the rats with Alzheimer's disease(AD) and to explore the possible mechanism of action. METHODS: Aggregated A?25-35 was injected into the right hippocampus of the rats to make experimental rat model of AD.The behavioral abnormalities were investigated by shuttle box.The contents of acetylcholine(Ach)、cholinesterase(ChE) activity、cyclic AMP response element-binding protein(CREB) and phosphorylated CREB serine 133(pCREB Ser133) in hippocampus were measured. RESULTS: DHYZE could markedly improve the function of learning and memory of rats in AD model in a dose-dependent manner.The contents of Ach and AchE activity in hippocampaus increased obviously in DHYZE medium dose group and high dose group compared with AD group.Such promotion was dose-dependent.The contents of pCREB Ser133 in hippocampaus increased obviously in DHYZE high dose group compared with AD group. CONCLUSION: The results indicate DHYZE could improve the ability of spatial learning and memory in AD rats.The mechanism might be associated with improving the impairment of the central cholinergic neurons induced by A?25-35 and activating CREB signal pathway in hippocampus of AD rats.
