Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1),one member of the Forkhead family,plays an important role in tumor development,invasion,metastasis and angiogenesis by regulating the expression of tumor related genes.Moreover,The specific mechanism of FOXM1 is not fully understood in the development of tumors.Currently,the study of anticancer drugs targeting FOXM1 is in the initial stage.Exploring the mechanism of FOXM1 in carcinogenesis and the development of drugs targeting FOXM1 and its downstream signaling pathways have broad clinical application prospects.

Objective To investigate the role of zenapax in the prevention of acute rejection in renal transplant recipients.Methods The medical records of 50 renal transplant recipients treated with one dose of zenapax(study group) and simultaneously 30 renal transplant recipients without treatment of zenapax(control group) were retrospectively analyzed.The follow-up was six months.The incidence of acute rejection,renal allograft function,infection,and adverse effects of zenapax were comparatively analyzed between the 2 groups.Results Acute rejection rate was lower in study group(13/50,26%) compared with that in control group(17/30,57%;P)(0.05)).Conclusions One dose regimen of zenapax as part of immunosuppressive therapy is effective in the prevention of acute rejection in renal transplant recipients.It has less side effects and contributes to the improvement of renal allograft function.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of Rh-negative patients receiving Rh-positive renal grafts.Methods Three Rh-positive kidneys were transplanted in 3 Rh-negative uremia patients respectively. The pre- and intraoperative conditions were evaluated. All patients were regularly followed up.Results Dysfunction occurred in one graft kidney 5 years after the operation, and the patient died of cardiovascular complication 8 years after the operation. The remaining 2 patients have survived 22 and 2 months respectively with normal renal function, and their Rh antibodies were negative 21 and 2 months after the operation respectively.Conclusion Fully perfused Rh-positive renal grafts can be transplanted to Rh-negative uremia patients. The short-term effect is satisfactory.

Objective To study the regulating roles of PAI 2 in the differentiation mechanism of the human epidermis. Methods Human skins were take from the early, middle and late human embryos respectively and observed with immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques. The cell culture and dot blot were also used in the observation of the materials from late embryo. Results 1 PAI 2 exhibits a very high experssion in the development of embryonic period, with the highest level in the middle embryonic phase while the transcripts of PAI 2 still keep a rather high level in the late human embryonic stage. 2 PAI 2 is mainly localized in the superficial, more differentiatied layers of the epidermis.3 PAI 2 is localizated in peripheral cytoplasm of the vitro or vivo keratinocyte.Conclusion PAI 2 is involved in the regulation of the keratinocyte differentiation.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Tetramethyl pyrazine (TMP) on the cytokines and inflammatory mediators in the serum and the synovial fluid of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA)rats, and further to investigate its possible mechanisms for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

METHODSType II CIA rat model was established. Rats in the TMP group were administered with TMP at 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, once daily. Dexamethasone at 2.0 mg/kg was intramuscularly injected to those in the Dexamethasone treated group, once daily. Normal saline at 2 mL/kg was given to those in the normal control group and the model group, once daily. All medication was started from the 7th day, lasting to the 35th day. CIA rats' foot swelling degree was observed. Contents of serum IL-1, IL-6, IL-2, NO and PGE2in the synovial fluid were detected by radioimmunoassay and nitrate reduction method.

RESULTSCompared with the normal group, the foot swelling obviously increased, contents of NO and PGE2 in the synovial fluid were obviously elevated in the model group (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the foot swelling could be obviously inhibited by 100 mg/kg TMP and Dexamethasone; serum levels of IL-1 and IL-6 obviously decreased, serum IL-2 level obviously increased, contents of NO and PGE, decreased (P < 0.01). TMP 50 mg/kg could obviously inhibit the foot swelling of CIA rats (P < 0.01). There was no statistical difference in other indices (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSTMP at 100 mg/kg showed obvious inhibition on CIA rats. Its inhibitory effect might be correlated to inhibiting activities of endogenous cytokines and the generation of inflammatory mediators in inflammation local regions, improving contents of anti-inflammation cytokines, and inducing the balance of the inflammatory cytokine network.

Objective To screen the valid plasmid targeted toGCN5 among the constructed recombinant plasmids;and to explore the effects of histone acetylizad modification in regulating MSCs differentiation.Methods Exstract the constructed plasmids and transfect them into MSCs induced by 5-aza.For 24 h,observe MSCs;detect the transfect efficiency by flow cytometry;detect expression of protein GCN5 by Western-blot;detect the HAT activity by ELISA.Results Transfect efficiency was more than 20%;Expression of protein GCN5 and HAT activity had no difference in group ZJ1 and ZJ2,but had a significant difference to that in group ZJ3.HAT activity of experiment group was significantly lower than that of control groups.Conclusion The inhibition state of histone acetylation results in plasmid ZJ3,it can inhibit the differentiation process of MSCs.The results provide data for the clinical application of MSCs transplantation.

Objective To observe the effect of trichostatina to induce mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) differentiating into cardiomyocyte cells and to explore the potential interference approaches.Methods MSCs were incubated with different concentrations of TSA and different time,then to detecte the histone deacetylase(HDAC) activity;the differentiation of MSCs was observed by phase-contrast mictmcopy;fluorescence immunohistochemistry assessed cardiac troponin T and RT-PCR detected the expression of Nkx-2.5,GATA-4 genes.Results HDAC activity was the lowest when incubated with 300 nmol/L TSA for 24 hours,expression of cTnT of the cells was enhanced after incubation with TSA.The expression of Nkx-2.5,GATA-4 genes was enhanced before interference.ConclusionTSA can promote MSCs to differentiate into cardiomyocyte cells in vitro in an optimized condition.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics for patients with hemorrhagic transformation(HT) after acute cere‐bral infarction .Methods In this study ,retrospective analysis was performed for 48 patients HT ,which were classified as HI(n=45 ,93 .8% ) ,HI‐1(n=27) ,HI‐2(n=18);PH(n=3 ,6 .3% ) ,PH‐1(n=2) ,PH‐2(n=1) .PH‐2 admission NIHSS score was signifi‐cantly higher than other types of HT .CT scans and MRT were carried out ,infarction area were defined so that we could choose dif‐ferent treatments .Results The total cases with hemorrhage time within 1 -2 weeks after infarction was 28(58 .3% ) ,while 14 (29 .2% )occured within 1 week .The relationship between HT location and infarction area:25 cases(52 .1% ) occurred cerebral lobe infarction ,for which hemorrhage lesion was located in cortex and(or) subcortical;11 cases (22 .9% ) occurred deep brain parenchy‐ma infarction ,for which hemorrhagic lesion was located inside or on the edge of infarcts;8 cases were lobes and deep infarction ,3 cases were cerebellar infarction ,1 case was brain stem infarction ,all of the hemorrhagic lesion was inside the infarcts .The relation‐ship between HT and infarct size:31 cases(64 .6% ) occured secondary to large area acute cerebral infarction ,14 cases(29 .2% ) oc‐cured secondary to small area of cerebral infarction ,3 cases(6 .3% ) occured secondary to lacunar infarction .Hemorrhage of the HI patients was in the cortex and the subcortical white matter ,with shapes of deep brain dot ,patchy ,funicular or gyrus .Hematoma was formed in cerebral infarction for PH patients ,which mainly located in basal ganglia .Conclusion The HT occurrence is closely relat‐ed to the infarction area and size .Patients with Large area and cerebral lobe infarction have high opportunity for complication of HT .HT usually occurs within 1-2 weeks after cerebral infarction ,during which brain CT or MRI should be routinely reexamined .
