8 oocytes) according to the number of oocytes collected in one ovary. On day of human chorionic gonadotrophin injection, PSV, EDV, PI, RI, S/D of ovarian stromal artery in the ovarian were detected and perifollicular vascularity were graded with color Doppler ultrasonography. Results Not only PSV and EDV of stromal artery but also perifollicular vascularity in low-response group was significantly lower than that of normal-response and high-response groups. PSV and EDV of ovarian stromal artery and perifollicular vascularity were highly interrelated with ovarian response. Conclusions The increase of PSV and EDV of ovarian stromal artery and perifollicular vascilarity indicate the improvement of perfusion in ovary and ovarian response.

AIM: To study the role of liver in immune regulation in experimental endotoxemia. METHODS: 17 castrated male goats were subjected to simultaneously installing catheters in jugular, hepatic and portal veins by surgery. Four days later, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was infused in term of three groups as followings: In group ①, LPS of 20 EU (endotoxin unit, EU)?kg -1 was infused into portal vein; In group ②, LPS of 20 EU?kg -1 was infused into jugular vein and LPS of 1 500 EU?kg -1 infused into jugular vein in group ③. Before and after infusion, blood samples were collected from the three veins through the catheters for 8 h. The plasma levels of TNF-? were measured by RIA. RESULTS: In group ①, the plasma TNF-? levels of hepatic and portal vein rose to peak value at 5 h, but that of the jugular vein did not changed. In group ②, the plasma TNF-? levels in hepatic vein rose to peak value at 3 h. The TNF-? levels of jugular vein rose to peak value at 1 h and the one in portal vein enhanced continuously between 0-8 h. In group ③, the plasma TNF-? levels in jugular, hepatic and portal vein rose to significant peaks at 1 h simultaneously. CONCLUSION: During experimental endotoxemia,liver showed different dynamic characteristics in TNF-? secretion according to the pathway and doses of LPS delivery. [

Objective To investigate the incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) during the third trimester of pregnancy and its effects on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal hypothyroidism.Methods A total of 10 695 women in the third trimester of pregnancy (28-42 weeks of gestation) who labored from January 1,to December 31,2012 in Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were enrolled.The levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) of the mothers were quantified by electrochemical immunoassay.The time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay was used to detect neonatal thyroid hormone levels.Using t test or x2test,the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was compared between SCH group and euthyroid group and between SCH women with positive (n=40) or negative TPOAb (n=176).Results The incidence of SCH was 2.02％ (216/10 695) and the positive rate of TPOAb in SCH women was 18.5％ (40/216).No neonatal thyroid dysfunction was found.According to the age matched,222 cases were randomly selected as controls from 7 757 euthyroid women.Compared with the controls,SCH women had a higher incidence of premature rupture of membranes [28.7％ (62/216) vs 14.9％ (33/222),x2=12.34],anemia [11.6％ (25/216) vs 4.1％ (9/222),x2=8.65],pregnancy-induced hypertension [9.7％ (21/216) vs 4.5％ (10/222),x2=4.53],premature labor [8.8％ (19/216) vs 3.6％ (8/222),x2=5.10] and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy [8.3％(18/216) vs 2.3％ (5/222),x2=8.14] (all P＜0.05).The overall incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was also higher in SCH group than in the controls [69.4％ (150/216) vs 49.5％ (110/222),x2=17.96,P＜0.01].The incidence of fetal growth restriction and still birth in SCH mothers with positive TPOAb was higher than in those with negative TPOAb [7.5％ (3/40) vs 0.0％ (0/176),x2=13.32,P＜0.01; 2.5％ (1/40) vs 0.0％ (0/176),x2=4.40,P＜0.05],but there was no significant difference in the overall incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes compared with TPOAb-negative mothers [65.0％ (26/40) vs 70.5％ (124/176),x2=0.46,P=0.50].Conclusions SCH diagnosed in the third trimester may lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes.Early screening for thyroid dysfunction is necessary.

Objective To explore the interaction between hepatitis B virus(HBV) X protein and cytochrome C oxidase Ⅲ (COXⅢ).Methods Mating experiment and in vitro binding assays were utilized tO verify the interaction between HBV X protein and COX Ⅲ in vivo and in vitro respectively in yeast cells.Coimmunoprecipitation was employed to demonstrated the binding between these tWOproteins in mammalian cells.Results In mating experiment,the resulting diploids containing both pAS2-1-X and pACT2-COX Ⅲ plasmids turned blue in the β-gal assay,the result of Western blot displayed a positive reactive strap which indicated X protein could interact directly with COX Ⅲ in vitro binding assays.Interaction between these two proteins in mammalian cells was further confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation,as a protein strap about 17 000 was detected in Western blot.Conclusions It is speculated the specific interaction may exist between HBV X protein and COX Ⅲ in both prokaryotie and mammalian cells.X protein may impair the mitochondrial respiration chain and energy metabolism through its association with COX Ⅲ.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) in the elderly in Tanggu Community of Tianjin,and to analyze the related factors.Methods The elderly inhabitants from one community of Tanggu in Tianjin were randomly selected and their serum uric acid (SUA)levels and metabolic syndrome (MS)-related indexes were examined.There were 622 subjects with complete data (260 men,362 women; mean age 67.4 ± 6.0 years).Results The standardized prevalence of HUA in the elderly in this community was 9.1％ in total,and 7.6％ in males,10.6％ in females,and there was no significant difference between males and females (P=0.281).The levels of SUA were (283.37 ± 78.69) μmol/L in total,(315.80 ± 74.39) μmol/L in males and (260.00 ±73.31) μmol/L in females,and the SUA level was higher in males than in females (P＜0.001).The levels of blood urea,creatinine (Cr),triglyceride (TG),body mass index (BMI) were higher in patients with HUA than in patients with normal serum uric acid (P=0.000,0.000,0.002,0.049respectively).The multiple factors regression analysis showed that the SUA level was positively correlated with the levels of blood urea,Cr,TG,low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P=0.000,0.017,0.000,0.019) and was negatively correlated with the levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting blood glucose (P=0.000,0.001).Conclusions The prevalence of HUA in the elderly is lower in Tanggu Community of Tianjin than in other cities in China.The SUA level of the elderly is significant higher in males than in females.The lower kidney function,hypertriglyceridemia and higher LDL-C are the risk factors for HUA,while elevated HDL-C and fasting blood glucose are associated with the decreased SUA level.
