Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)is a disease of unknown etiology that leads to a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR),if untreated,ultimately right heart failure and high mortality.It is concerted pulmonary vascular contraction and vascular remodeling are the 2 main courses of physiology and pathology leading to PAH,especially the significant role of proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells.A lot of relevant factors are revealed to take a participation into regulating the proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells and finally PAH.

Objective To discuss the effects of curcuma on different phases of the Hela cell proliferation in order to find the effective medicine in cervix cancer treatment.Methods MTT colorimetry and flow cytometry were used to measure the inhibitory rate of Hela cell proliferation and the changes of cell cycle, and transmission electron microscope(TEM) was used to observe the changes of the Hela subcells treated with the different concentrations of curcuma(0,10,20 and(40 mg?L~(-1))).Results Curcuma(0,10,20 and 40 mg?L~(-1))had obvious inhibitory effects on the Hela cell proliferation in a dose-dependant manner,the inhibitory rates were 3.0%,21.4%,32.8% and 49.2%,respectively.Furthermore,flow cytometry showed that the number of cells in G_1 phase increased and the number of cells in S phase decreased,the number of cells in G_2/M phases relatively increased.The changes of subcell structure could be seen,such as cavernous cells,cytoplasm agglutination,increasing apoptosis.(Conclusion Curcuma) can inhabit the Hela cell proliferation, prevent the cells in G_1 phase from entering into(S phase),and promote Hela cell apoptosis.

Aim To investigate the effect of Rhein derivative 4a containing amide structure on migration and invasion in ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells and its possible mechanism. Methods Ovarian cancer SK0V3 cells were used as target cells. Molecular docking and West-em blot were used to detect the regulatory effect of derivative 4a on Racl protein. CCK8, HE staining, Scratch and Transwell assay were used to detect the effects of derivative 4a on the proliferation, morphology , migration and invasion of SK0V3 cells, respectively. Western blot was employed to determine the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and EMT-related proteins. Results Derivative 4a could effectively bind to Racl protein, and the binding energy was-29. 10 kcal • mol"1, which was significantly lower than that of Rhein; it also could down-regulate the expression of Racl protein in SK0V3 cells. Derivative 4a could significantly inhibit the proliferation, invasion and migra tion of SKOV3 cells, and induce a large amount of cellular vacuolation; derivative 4a could also down-regu-\ late the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9, up-regulate the expression of EMT epithelial marker protein E-ca-derin but down-regulate the expression of vimentin and j3-cantenin. Conclusions Derivative 4 a can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of ovarian cancer SK0V3 cells. The mechanism may relate to its targeted regulation of Racl, thereby inhibiting the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases, up-regulating the expression of key molecule E-caderin and down-regula-ting the expression of Vimentin and (3-cantenin in EMT i process.•.

Abstract: To investigate the factors affecting lean non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), so as to provide the reference for the prevention and treatment of lean NAFLD. Methods: Individuals who underwent physical examination at Huzhou Central Hospital from January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 and had a body mass index (BMI) <23 kg/m2 was selected. Demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, dietary habits and physical examination data were collected through questionnaire surveys. Lean NAFLD was assessed using abdominal ultrasonography combined with BMI. Factors affecting lean NAFLD were analyzed by using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 627 individuals were surveyed, with a mean BMI of (20.83±2.01) kg/m2. There were 349 males (55.66%) and 278 females (44.34%). Lean NAFLD was detected in 74 cases, with a detection rate of 11.80%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified BMI (OR=1.830, 95%CI: 1.165-2.869), gender (male, OR=2.615, 95%CI: 1.402-4.875), triglycerides (OR=3.062, 95%CI: 1.613-5.812), alanine aminotransferase (OR=1.587, 95%CI: 1.106-2.277), vegetable and fruit intake (150-300 g/d, OR=0.416, 95%CI: 0.230-0.752; >300 g/d, OR=0.303, 95%CI: 0.141-0.649), dairy product intake (≥300 mL/d, OR=0.369, 95%CI: 0.195-0.701) and sugared beverage intake (1-250 mL/d, OR=1.601, 95%CI: 1.071-2.393; >250 mL/d, OR=2.438, 95%CI: 1.363-4.354) as factors affecting lean NAFLD. Conclusion The risk of lean NAFLD is associated with BMI, gender, triglyceride, alanine aminotransferase, and the vegetable and fruit, dairy product and sugared beverage intake.

Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common otorhinolaryngological disease, although the incidence of chronic sinusitis is the result of many factors, the local anatomic abnormalities is one of the most important reasons. When maxillary sinus dysplasia that sinus cavity becomes small. These was some sinus cavity partial or complete bony septum malformation used to be reported occasionally, according to reports in the literature of this malformation rate is below 2%, bony divides sinus cavity is divided into 2 to 3 independent lacunar deformity are very rare, next we will introduce a case of sinus cavity that been divided into double deck by bone wall.

OBJECTIVE: Embryonic Stem Cell (ES) are characterized by totipotency and normal karyotype and provide the theoretical base in the following fields: embryonic developmeut of mammalian, cell differentiation, expres sion of exogenous genes and utilization of Ess to develop animal model for human inherited diseases. The identification of ES therefore is very important to research and utilize ES.DATA SOURCES: The relevant articles to embryonic stem cell between January 1980 and December 2003 were computer searched for in Medline with the key words "embryonic stem cell, embryo, Alkaline phosphatase,Oct-4"in English. Similarly, the relevant articles to embryonic stem cell between January 1980 and December 2003 were computer searched for in China Journal Full-text Database (CJFD) with the key word "embryonic stem cell" in Chinese.STUDY SELECTION: The articles were browsed firstly. The inclusion criteria were for those articles about the identification of embryonic stem cells. The exclusion criteria were for those about repetitive studies, reviews and other similar articles.DATA EXTRACTION: 16 articles about the identification of embryonic stem cells were collected. Then, the full-texts of the articles were looked through.DATA SYNTHESIS: The selected data were summarized in the following order: ①Preliminary identification of Ess based on morphology and growth;②Immunological valuation; ③Chromosome related identification; ④Identi fication of totipotency and pluripotency.CONCLUSION: The identification of embryonic stem cells is not the result of only one identifying method, but a process of identification. During this process of comprehensive identification, it is recommend to conduct AKP test firstly, karyotype analysis secondly, then examination of surface markers and finally identification of Ess totipotency when Ess are sufficient, takingcare to repeat every identification.

Immunofluorescence histochemistry combined with retrograde tracing technique was employed to observe the effects of masseteric nerve transection on the expression of Trk ( tropomyosin-related kinase) receptor proteins, namely TrkA, TrkB and TrkC in the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus ( Me5 ) of the rat. At 7 and 14 days following transection of masseteric nerve through which Fluorogold (FG) was applied to identify the Me5 neurons innervating masseter, brain sections were immunohistochemically processed to detect the three Trk isoforms in FG-labeled Me5 neurons. With the percentage of double-labeled neurons to the total number of FG-labeled neurons as the index,we demonstrated ( 1 ) a significant increase in the percentage of TrkA-immunoreactive (IR) Me5 neurons at both 7 and 14 days after nerve transection, (2) no significant, but gradual, increase in the percentage of TrkB-IR Me5 neruons with longer survival time post transection and ( 3 ) little change of TrkC expression. The current findings indicate that axotomy differently affected the expression of the individual Trk receptors and these expression patterns may reflect an adaptation of the Me5 neurons to the peripheral nerve injury.

To screen potential hamster chymase 2 inhibitors, a high-throughput screening (HTS) model was established. Recombinant hamster chymase 2 with active form was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The HTS model with total volume of 50 microL in 384-well microplate was based on fluorescence analysis and was proved sensitive as well as specific (Z' = 0.84). A total of 40 080 samples (including 28 060 compounds and 12 020 natural products) were screened, and 613 samples with inhibition greater than 90% were selected for further rescreening. Finally, compounds J16647 and J16648 were identified with high inhibitory activity on chymase 2, and whose IC50 values were 0.823 and 0.690 micromol x L(-1), respectively.
