Phosphorylation of beta-catenin tyrosine residue 654 plays an important role in the epithelial to myofibroblast transition (EMT). Introducing mimic peptide of tyrosine residue 654 domain of beta-catenin into cells may influence phosphorylation of beta-catenin tyrosine residue 654. To deliver this mimic peptide into renal epithelial cells, we used penetratin as a vector, which is a novel cell permeable peptide, to deliver hydrophilic molecules into cells. A tyrosine 654 residue domain mimic peptide of beta-catenin (PM) with fused penetratin was constructed, purified and then detected for the penetration of the mimic peptide into human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2). The results showed that purified fusion mimic peptide could efficiently and rapidly translocate into human renal tubular epithelial cells. It is concluded that a cell-permeable peptides mimic of tyrosine residue 654 domain of beta-catenin was successfully obtained, which may provide a useful reagent for interfering the human renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

BACKGROUND: Hippocampal formation of brain, a cerebral area related with learning and memory, is closely related to spatial cognitive activity.Peroxidative stress following the onset of cerebral ischemia can induce DNA injury in hippocampal 'area and dentate gyrus, the fall of the ability of DNA plerosis and correspondingly a decline in the function of learning and memory.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of hongjingtian on the expression of nucleic acid of hippocampal area and dentate gyrus, the learning and memory area of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was completed at the Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College from April 2002 to April 2004. Totally 60 Wistar male rats were selected and divided randomly into 5 groups Model group: Rats were perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the same as that in medication group.METHODS: Rats in each group were perfused incessantly for 7 days.Modified Pulsinelli-4 vessel blocking method was used to reproduce the rat model of acute complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Rats in sham-operation group were not treated with the operation of burning vertebral artery and clipping common carotid artery. The changes of DNA and RNA expressions in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus were observed with acridine orange staining method after model establishment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of DNA and RNA in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats in each group.RESULTS: All 60 rats entered the final analysis. DNA and RNA in shamoperation group distributed evenly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was strong. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex was illegible and response intensity was obviously weak in model ly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was group was not of obvious difference as compared with that in model group.CONCLUSION: The illegibility of DNA and RNA fluorescent response in operation group is related with the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus is legihibit the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress and protect learning and memory function in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value and feasibility of PTC diagnosis on pancreaticobiliary maljunction (IBM), and to summarize the PTC radiological characteristics of PBM. Methods Clinical findings and cholangiopancreatographic results were analyzed retrospectively for a group of consecutive 363 patients with obstructive jaundice receiving the PTCD therapy. Meanwhile the standard selected for cases and diagnostic conditions were established. The length and diameter of pancreaticobiliary common duct, the diameter of pancreatic duct and common bile duct and the confluence angle were measured respectively. The t test and rank sum test were used to analyze the result statistically. Results Thirty-eight cases were radiologicaUy diagnosed as PBM owing to the reference standard and the detection rate was 10.5% (38/363). The length of common duct was (12.6±7.9)mm. The significant difference existed between it and normal value (6ram) (t=5.15 , P <0.05). The site of duodenal papilla had influence on the length of common duct. The diameter of common bile duct, pancreatic duct and common duct near the confluence are (3.7±1.9 ) mm, (2.4±1.3) mm, (3.3±1.4 ) mm, respectively. There was no statistical difference between them and the normal value (t=1.79,2.85,5.72, P>0.05). Fifteen patients' duodenal papilla located the middle of descending duodenum. The length of common duct was (10.6±9.1)mm , the confluence angle was 51.1°±28.0°, the number of the duodenal papilla locating in the inferior 1/3 of descending duodenum, juncture , horizontal part of duodenum was 10, 8,5, respectively. The length of common duet were (9.9±3.7), ( 18.6±8.9), ( 13.9±3.5 ) mm, respectively. The confluence angle were 54.0°±18.6°、48.7°±12.6°、74.4°±18.5°, respectively . The site of duodenal papilla had significant influence on the length of common duct(X2=14.51, P <0.05). Conclusion PTC is a safe, feasible, method to diagnose PBM, and it demonstrates the characteristic findings of PBM.

Objective To investigate the neonatal death causes and the relationship between the causes and the neonatal age,fetus age and the year in order to reduce neonatal mortality.Methods Data of neonatal autopsy and pathological records from 107 neonates in our hospital from January 1998 to May 2008 were collected,analyzed and summarized.Results 40.2%of the cases died within 24 hours and 72.9%died within 7 days after birth.The main death cause for those who died within 7 days was asphyxia(48.6%),and the main death causes ior those who died after 7 days were deformity(34.5%)and hemorrhage(34.5%).The most common death cause for premature bahies Was hyaline membrane disease(29.7%),and the most common one for term infants was congenital heart disease(23.3%).In the past 5 years.asphyxia Was still the most common death causein our country,those who died of infection were on the rise and the deformed babies increased too;on the contrary.those who died of obstetric causes and hemorrhage decreased.Conclusion Neonatal mortality could be reduced by prenatal management,prevention of premature delivery,improvement of the cooperation between pediatrics and obstetrics,and better management of NICU.
