Objective: To study significance of detection of serum levels of high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) for assessing patient’s condition in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: Serum levels of hsCRP, TNF-α and IL-8 were measured in 78 CHD patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) before and three months after PCI. Among CHD patients, there were 17 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 36 patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and 25 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP). Their levels of above indicators were compared with those of 47 healthy subjects (normal control group). Results: （1）Compared with normal control group, there were significant increase in serum levels of hsCRP [ (1.96±0.60) mg/L vs. (22.43±9.68) mg/L, (18.27±8.56) mg/L], TNF-α [ (11.26±3.82) ng/L vs. (60.12±19.37) ng/L, (40.33±15.48) ng/L] and IL-8 [ (48.26±20.87) ng/L vs. (120.36±33.32) ng/L, (105.92±34.2) ng/L] in AMI group and UAP group before treatment (P<0.01 all), and Pearson linear correlation analysis showed that hsCRP was positively correlated with levels of TNF-α and IL-8 (r=0.873~0.956, P<0.01 all); （2）Serum level of hsCRP in SAP group [(6.04±2.38) mg/L] was significantly higher than that of normal control group (P<0.01); （3）Compared with before PCI, there were significant decrease in serum levels of hsCRP[(13.89±6.13) mg/L vs. (2.06±1.42) mg/L], TNF-α[(38.26±14.27) ng/L vs. (13.76±4.12) ng/L] and IL-8[(98.96±32.9) ng/L vs. (50.12±19.85) ng/L] in CHD patients three-month after PCI (P<0.01 all), and they were no significant difference compared with normal control group (P>0.05 all). Conclusions: Detections of serum levels of hsCRP, TNF-α and IL-8 in CHD patients are of certain significance for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis prediction of CHD.

0.05).Conclusion Breath-hold MRCP utilizing the SSFSE technique with high-quality images can accurately assess the level of obstruction and the causes of the obstruction in patients with obstructive jaundice, without the risks of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).This MRCP technique should be preferred a reliable and noninvasive imaging modality for the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice.

Background and purpose:Members of the NF-kappaB family of transcription factors could activate bcl-2 anti-apoptotic genes at the transcriptional level and then regulate cell apoptosis.The p53 tumor suppressor gene has a clear role!in both the regulation of cell cycle and expression of apoptosis-related bcl-2 family.There were few reports about the expression of NF-?Bp65,bcl-2,bcl-xL and their relationships with p53 and cell apoptosis in pancreatic cancer.The present study was designed to analyze the expression of the antiapoptotic molecules nuclear factor kappaB(NF-?Bp65),bcl-2 and bcl-xL in pancreatic ductal carcinoma(PC) and their correlations to the apoptosis index and p53 expression.Methods:Immunohistochemical analyses of P53 protein was performed on 25 cases of pancreatic ductal carcinoma and 9 cases of normal pancreas;Western blot was used to evaluate NF-?Bp65 protein and RT-PCR for bcl-2 mRNA and bcl-xL mRNA of 25 cases of pancreatic ductal carcinoma and 9 NP cases.The apoptosis was determined by TUNEL.Results:The positive rate of P53 protein was 56%(14/25)in PC tissues,significantly higher than that in NP tissues(P

Objective To explore the effect of Xiao Ban Xu, a compound Chinese traditional medicinal prescription, on the expression of collagenⅠand Ⅲ of keloid fibroblasts in vitro. Methods Six samples of keloid fibroblasts (KFB) and 6 samples of normal fibroblasts (NFB) entered the study as experimental and control groups, respectively. With the application of Xiao Ban Xu (10?g/ml), the fibroblast culture system and the ABC immunocytochemical staining method were used to investigate the expression of collagenⅠand Ⅲ of KFB and NFB. Results The density of the staining of collagenⅠand Ⅲ in the experimental group was much higher than that in the control group, with (7675 4?825 5 vs 2305 2?320 4 and 10595 2?1311 5 vs 2434 8?356 9; t =13 37 and 12 66, P =0 00004 and 0 00005) or without (11113 1?1304 9 vs 3519 6?236 0 and 11157 7?1300 3 vs 2626 5?426 3; t =14 42 and 13 47, P =0 00003 and 0 00004) the addition of Xiao Ban Xu. Compared with blank control group, the density of the staining of collagenⅠand Ⅲ was degenerated greatly in the experimental group after 48 hours of application of Xiao Ban Xu (7675 4?825 5 vs 11113 1?1304 9 and 10595 2?1311 5 vs 11157 7?1300 3; t =10 31 and 4 68, P =0 0001 and 0 0054). Furthermore, the inhibition ratios of collagenⅠwas 30 7%, and the one of collagen Ⅲ 5 1%, in the experimental group. Conclusions The expression of collagenⅠand Ⅲ of keloid fibroblasts in vitro may be significantly more intensive than the one of normal skin fibroblasts. It seems that the expression of collagenⅠand Ⅲ, especially collagenⅠ, in keloid fibroblasts and normal skin fibroblasts in vitro may be suppressed greatly by the application of Xiao Ban Xu.

Objective:To investigate whether PUMA gene transfection can increase sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells (PC) to 5-FU-induced apoptosis. Methods: PUMA-pCEP4 containing full length PUMA cDNA or pCEP4 was transfected into human pancreatic cancer cell line AsPC-1 by lipofectamine transfection, G418 selection was used to select positive cells. AsPC-1, AsPC-1/PUMA and AsPC-1/pCEP4 cells were separately treated with serial concentrations of 5-FU(0.01-100 ?mol/L). MTT assay was used to determine the cell survival rate in each group and IC50 of 5-FU was calculated. TUNEL,FCM and DNA ladder observation were employed to study cell apoptosis. Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of PUMA protein. Results: The 5-FU IC50 values of AsPC-1, AsPC-1/PUMA and AsPC-1/pCEP4 cells were (12?1.9)?mol/L,(1.6?0.4)?mol/L and (10.4?1.6) ?mol/L, respectively, with the sensitivity of AsPC-1/PUMA cells increased by 7.5 folds. 5-FU induced cell apoptosis of AsPC-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with the apoptosis of AsPC-1/PUMA cells more prominent than those of AsPC-1 and AsPC-1/pCEP4 cells. Low concentration of 5-FU (0.1 ?mol/L) induced few apoptosis of AsPC-1/pCEP4 cells([1.14?0.28]%) and AsPC-1 cells ([0.9?0.23]%), and induced apoptosis in AsPC-1/PUMA cells([6.47?1.42]%). High concentration of 5-FU (1.0 ?mol/L) induced apoptosis in all groups, with that in AsPC-1/PUMA cells([34.54?9.36]%) significantly higher than those in AsPC-1/pCEP4 cells([15.8?5.15]%) and AsPC-1 cells ([12.8?3.74]%, both P
