Objective: To study the scavenging capacity of extract from four kinds of barley leaves on superoxide free radical and hydroxyl free radical. Methods: Measure the content of superoxide free radical and hydroxyl free radical by nitro blue tetrazolium(NBT) photo-reduction. Results: Along with the flavonoid in the reaction liquid, the scavenging rate shows ascending trend . When the concentration of flavonoid is 12?g/ml, its scavenging rate is 95.56% and 94.12% on superoxide free radical and hydroxyl free radical respectively. Conclusion: The flavonoids of barley leave s have stronger anti-oxidative action.

Objective: To investigate the expression of KAI1 gene in the urothelial cancer tissues and its relationship with the invasion and metastasis of urothelial cancer. Methods: The expression of KAI1 mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative(RFQ-PCR) in urothelial cancer tissues and normal mucosa of urinary tract. The KAI1 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC) method in bladder transitional cell carcinoma tissues and the paired normal mucosal tissues. Results: QRT-PCR showed that the average level of KAI1 mRNA in the urothelial cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in the normal bladder tissues (P<0.01); moreover, the increase of pathological grades and clinical stages and the development of lymphatic metastasis were associated with the decrease of KAI1 expression, with significant difference found between the different groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The protein expression of KAI1 in the urothelial cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in the normal bladder tissues(P<0.01). The protein expression of KAI1 was decreased with the increase of pathological grades (P<0.05 or P<0.01). We also found that higher expression of KAI1 was associated with superficial invasion (P<0.05) and the presence of lymphatic metastasis (P<0.05). Conclusion: The down-regulation of KAI1 gene is associated with differentiation, infiltration, and lymphatic metastasis of urothelial cancer, which might serve as an effective indicator for malignancy, metastasis and prognosis of urothelial cancer.

AIM: To evaluate and analyze the morphological property and physiological activity of cartilaginous loose bodies in the knee joint, to research the changeable mechanism of histological morphous and physiological function. METHODS: The experiment was conducted at the Department of Pathology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, the Physical Testing & Chemical Analysis Center of Anhui Medical University, and the Electron Microscope Center of Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from January 2005 to January 2006. ①Experimental samples were 30 cartilaginous loose bodies all through arthroscopy as experimental group in which Group A (less than 6 months) had 14 samples and group B (between 6 and 12 months) 10, group C (more than 12 months) 6. Another 30 control samples were originated from non-weight loading side of articular cartilage through special equipment by arthroscopy. ②All samples were carried out the morphological measurement, light and transmission electron microscope exam, Ⅱ-collagen immunohistochemical stain, the measurement of collagen, calcium and fosforus. RESULTS: ①To compare the samples in the group A and control group, they had the identical or similar morphosis, microscopic structure of chondrocyte and distribution of extracellular matrix, the statistical treatments of the content of calcium, fosforus and collagen showed that the differences of scores between two groups were not statistically significant [calcium:(3.120?0.224),(3.090?0.231) mg/g;fosforus:(0.432?0.045),(0.455?0.067) mg/g;collagen:(462.43?17.12)(466.71?14.59) mg/g]. General speaking, comparing with the control articular cartilage, the loose bodies in group A had the normal histological property and physiological activity. ②Compared with control group, the samples in group B and C had the tendency of fibrous degeneration: necrotic or degenerative chondrocytes increasing, the contents of proteoglycan and Ⅱ-collagen decreasing, the tendency in group C more than group B, but the cartilaginous loose bodies in group B and C had many active chondrocytes mainly. Total content of collagen [(441.20?16.49),(417.33?8.38) mg/g] and Ⅱ-collagen decreased, while the contents of calcium and fosforus increased [calcium: (3.696?0.442),( 6.469?0.555) mg/g;fosforus:(0.523?0.068),(0.683?0.056) mg/g]. Generally, compared with the control articular cartilage, the histological property and physiological activity of the loose bodies in groups B and C had changed. CONCLUSION: The cartilaginous loose bodies can remain its histological property and physiological activity in the knee articular cavity for a long time, but it has the tendency of disorganization and physiological activity descending as time prolongs.
