3.Increased expression of endothelin receptors in human cirrhosis--relationship with splanchnic hemodynamics.
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2002;22(1):37-41
The purpose of the present study was to assess the correlation that likely exists among increased portal pressure (Pp), portal blood flow quantity (Qp) and ETA and ETB receptor mRNA expression in human cirrhosis. In situ hybridization and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) were performed to determined the expression of ETA and ETB receptor mRNA in liver tissues from traumatic subjects (n = 10) and cirrhotic patients (n = 15) in whom hepatic hemodynamic values were measured. The expression of the two transcripts was significantly higher in liver samples of cirrhotic patients than in those obtained from traumatic subjects. It has shown that ETA receptor mRNA predominantly located in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and vascular smooth muscle cells of intrahepatic arteries and portal veins, ETB receptor mRNA in HSCs, sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kuppfer cells. There was a highly significant direct relationship between ETA and ETB receptor mRNA and Pp and Qp in cirrhotic patients. It suggests that liver paracrine endothelin system may be overactivated in human cirrhosis accompanied with increased expression of ETA and ETB receptor mRNA which may play an important role in the pathogenesis and maintenance of splanchnic hyperdynamics.

Objective To observe the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on osteogenic differentiation abili?ty and cell proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs), and to explore the role of bFGF on the process of osteogenic differencitiaion in vitro. Methods HGFs were cultured in vitro until the 3rd passage when they were divided into four groups:normal medium as group 1, normal medium with 10μg/L bFGF as group 2, osteogenic medium as group 3 and osteo?genic medium with 10μg/L bFGF as group 4. MTT assay was used to evaluate the proliferation of HGFs. Alkaline phospha?tase (ALP) staining and Alizarin red staining were applied to investigate osteogenic potential of HGFs under different culture conditions. Results bFGF at concentration of 10 μg/L could increase HGFs proliferation in both normal and osteogenic medium (P<0.01). HGFs could be induced towards osteogenic differentiation and form mineralized nodule in osteogenic me?dium. However, 10μg/L bFGF had no effects on ALP activity and mineralized nodule formation of HGFs during osteogenic differentiation. Conclusion bFGF could promote the proliferation of HGFs but show no effects on osteogenic differentiation of HGFs at concentration of 10μg/L.

Objective:To investigate the association of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class Ⅰ (A, B and C), class Ⅱ (DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1) allelic and haplotypic polymorphisms with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia(AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in Han nationality of southern China.Methods:The peripheral blood samples of 845 leukemia patients (323 cases of ALL, 350 cases of AML and 172 cases of CML) and 745 healthy blood donors from Han nationality of southern China in Shenzhen Blood Center were collected. The HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1 and -DPB1 genes were genotyped by using polymerase chain reaction-reverse sequence specific oligonucleotide (PCR-rSSO) and polymerase chain reaction-sequence based typing (PCR-SBT) methods to identify the first 4 digits of HLA alleles. The Arlequin 3.5 software was used to analyze HLA haplotypes. The correlations between HLA allelic and haplotypic polymorphisms and three types of leukemia were statistically analyzed at HLA low-resolution level (the first 2 digits of alleles) and high-resolution level (the first 4 digits of alleles), respectively.Results:P-values were adjusted by Bonferroni correction. In ALL group, the frequencies of A*02 (36.22% vs. 28.26%, χ 2 = 13.41, PC < 0.01) and its haplotype A*02-B*46-C*01 (15.35% vs. 10.23%, χ 2 = 10.90, PC = 0.02), DRB1*12 (15.79% vs. 11.10%, χ 2 = 9.02, PC = 0.03), A*02:03 (9.75% vs. 5.32%, χ 2 = 14.25, PC = 0.002) and its haplotype A*02:03-B*38:02-C*07:02 (3.80% vs. 1.51%, χ 2 = 10.41, PC = 0.02) were higher than those in healthy controls, which implied that these factors could confer risk effect in ALL. In AML group, the frequency of A*11-B*15-C*08-DRB1*15-DQB1*06-DPB1*02 (1.34% vs. 0.07%, χ 2 = 12.54, PC = 0.003) was significantly higher than that in healthy controls, suggesting that the risk effect might be conferred by this haplotype. In CML group, the frequencies of A*02 (36.63% vs. 28.26%, χ 2 = 9.33, PC = 0.02) and its haplotype A*02-B*15-C*04 (2.17% vs. 0.29%, χ 2 = 11.74, PC = 0.02), and DRB1*03:01-DQB1*02:01-DPB1*02:01 (1.86% vs. 0.14%, χ 2 = 13.10, PC = 0.01) were higher than those in healthy controls, which implied that these factors could confer risk effect in CML, whereas the frequency of DRB1*13 (1.45% vs. 5.25%, χ 2 = 9.29, PC = 0.03) was lower than that in healthy controls, suggesting that it was a CML antagonistic gene. Conclusion:Leukemia susceptible or antagonistic HLA alleles and haplotypes are found at low-resolution and high-resolution levels of HLA, which might provide reference for investigating the pathogenesis of leukemia and guiding formulation of effective treatment strategies in Han nationality of southern China.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hyperreflective dots (HRD) and lipid levels and systemic inflammatory factors in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) or central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).Methods:A cross-sectional clinical study. From December 2016 to June 2020, 118 eyes of 118 patients with retinal vein occlusion diagnosed in the Department of Ophthalmology, Central Theater Command Hospital of People's Liberation Army were included in the study. Among them, 67 cases of BRVO and 51 cases of CRVO were divided into CRVO group and BRVO group accordingly. Peripheral venous blood was drawn from the patients within 3 days after the eye examination to detect the percentage of neutrophils, monocytes, hypersensitive C-reactive protein (CRP), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a). The ratio of monocytes to high-density lipoprotein (MHR) was also calculated. The 3D OCT-2000 instrument from Topcon (Japan) was used to measure the central retinal thickness (CRT) and the numbers of HRD. According to the different distribution position, HRD is divided into inner retina HRD, outer retina HRD, and total retina HRD.The independent sample t test was used to compare the continuous variables of the two groups, and the χ2 test was used to compare the rates. The correlation between HRD counts and blood lipid levels and peripheral blood inflammation indicators in patients with different types of RVO was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Results:The average age of patients in the BRVO group and CRVO group were 60.1±9.5 and 53.6±15.7 years, respectively; the prevalence of hypertension was 53.7% (36/67) and 24.5% (12/51), respectively. Comparison of age ( t=2.634) and prevalence of hypertension ( χ2=11.298) between the two groups showed statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Gender ( χ2=2.000), course of disease ( t=-1.101), prevalence of diabetes ( χ2=1.315), eye category ( χ2=1.742), baseline visual acuity ( t=1.792), intraocular pressure ( t=0.708), CRT ( t=1.318), and peripheral blood include the percentage of neutrophils, the absolute number of monocytes, CRP, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein(a), MHR ( t=-0.559, 1.126, 0.579, 1.299, -0.134, 0.556, 1.230, -0.267, 0.483), the difference was not statistically significant. Correlation analysis showed that the HRD counts in the outer retina of BRVO patients were positively correlated with total cholesterol ( r=0.289, P=0.036); the HRD in the inner retina and total HRD counts of CRVO patients were positively correlated with CRP ( r=0.406, 0.343; P=0.004, 0.014). There was no correlation between HRD counts and percentage of neutrophils, absolute number of monocytes, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, lipoprotein(a), and MHR ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The number of HRD is related to the blood lipid level in BRVO patients and CRP (an inflammatory index) in CRVO patients.
