Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of cordyceps sinesis (CS) and reduced glutathione on experimental non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) rats and explore the possible molecular mechanisms. Methods After NAFLD rats were induced by high-fat diet and were treated by CS and reduced glutathione. The histopathologic changes of livers were evaluated. The levels of TG and FFA in serum and liver were measured. The levels of SOD and ATP in liver were measured too. Results (1)In the development of NAFLD, extensive adipose degeneration, inflammatory cell infiltration and necrosis, local fibrous tissue hyperplasia were found in the liver. The increase of TG, FFA in the serum and liver and decrease of SOD and ATP in the liver were seen. (2)In CS treated group, adipose degeneration had been alleviated with slightly inflammatory cells infiltration and no necrosis or fibrosis had been found. The concentrations of TG and FFA were decreased in the serum and liver, but SOD and ATP increased. (3)In glutathione treated group, adipose degeneration of liver and inflammatory cells infiltration remained obviously with focus or punctiform necrosis, but without fibrosis. The increase of SOD in liver was distinguished. No changes of TG, FFA, UCP-2 and ATP had been detected. Conclusion Both CS and reduced glutathione have therapeutic effects on NAFLD, by preventing the generation of liver fibrosis. CS has a better therapeutic effects on metabolic disturbance or accumulation of lipid and energy metabolic imbalance of liver cells.

A mAb T2-2 was generated using hybridoma techniques, and its target was identified as a 46 ku-cytokeratin (CK), based on biochemical study and a completely overlapped binding pattern of mAb T2-2 with anti-pan-CKs antibodies. An epithelia-specificity of the mAb T2-2 was determined by screening 68 human normal and 65 tumor tissues using immunohistochemistry. Unlike most of anti-CKs antibodies, the mAb T2-2 recognized a mono-specific epitope only expressed on the 46 ku CK, suggesting that mAb T2-2 is superior to most anti-CKs antibodies that cross-reacted with many different kinds of CKs. In addition, it was found that the mAb T2-2 was multipurpose with a broad applicability to ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and was also compatible with various fixation reagents. These results strongly indicate that the mAb T2-2 has potential applications for studying CKs function and for diagnosis of tumor and other disorders.

Objective To research the expression of the estrogen receptor alpha ( Erα) and estrogen receptor beta ( Erβ) in uvea tissues of the female rats, and to provide molecular biology data for further studies of the relation estrogen to uvea diseases. Methods Twenty-two adolescent SD female rats were selected. All rats were killed by dislocation of cervical vertebra, the eyeballs were in paraffin imbedding and made to a series of sections, using immunohistochemical method;Erα and Erβ distribution were investigated in uvea tissue of rats;and quantitied by Tanaka scores analytical method. The uteri of rats was used as positive control and PBS as negative control. The level of estradiol in serum of the rats were examined by radioimmunoassay. Results The expression level of Erβ was moderate or highter in stroma cell, anterior pigment epithelium as well as pasterior pigment epithelium of the iris, unpigmented epithelium, pigmented ciliary epithelium and vascular endocemet of the choroid layers. But Erα was not obviously expressed in uvea tissues. The expression rate of Erβ was higher than Erα in these tissues(P<0.05). Immnoreactivity positive substance was granule, which was distributed in the cytoplasm or in the nucleus. The level of estradiol in serum of the rats was (22.13±3.54)ng/L.Conclusion The expression of either Erα or Erβ in uvea tissues of rats is mainly in Erβ. The results indicate that uvea tissue is regulated directly by estrogen throught Erβ.

ScanningElectronMicroscopy/EnergyDispersionSpectrum(SEM/EDS),ElectronProbe Microanalysis ( EPMA ) and Optical Microscopy ( OM ) are the traditional methods for inclusion type identifying at present. The disadvantages such as inconvenient sample preprocessing, low sensitivity and time consuming limited their application. Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy ( LIBS) is not only performing in bulk analysis field but also in elemental distribution and depth profile information field, so it causes great concern in material science. In this paper, 34CrNiMo6 steel and heavy railway steel samples were analyzed by LIBS in scanning mode to characterize the inclusion type. For 34CrNiMo6 steel, 2D intensity distribution and channel combination revealed the spectra line intensity of Mn and S were abnormal high simultaneously at some region, which indicated there were some MnS inclusion existed in these samples. And for heavy railway steel, 2D distribution and channel combination revealed the spectra line intensity of Si, Ca, Mg and Al were abnormal high simultaneously at some region, showed the existence of Si-Al-Ca-Mg inclusion in these samples. The SEM/EDS analysis result of above-mentioned samples showed agreed well with LIBS.
