The reproductive toxicity of environmental estrogens(EEs)has become an extensively studied subject in environmental science and reproductive medicine nowadays.Many epidemiology data and experimental evidences indicated that EEs may significantly cause the disorders of male sex differentiation such as microphallus,hypospadia,cryptorchidism and masculinization behavior disorder and so on.The mechanism includes estrogenic activity,anti-androgenic activity as well as other feedback regulation and signal transmission which influence hormones metabolism.

Objective:To study the new bone formation after distraction osteogenesis (DO) to repair cleft palate (CP) by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) and quantitive image analysis. Methods: 20 cats were assigned randomly to 3 groups: Experimental group (15 cats), the CP bone defects in hard palate were corrected with DO repair at the rate of 0.4 mm twice a day, till the transport disc (TD) reached the opposite edge across the defect region. The tetracycline labeling (30 mg/kg) were intramuscularly injected 6 days before specimens retrieval of each 3 cats at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks after the completion of distraction. The sections were observed and analyzed by LSCM and quantitive image analysis. The results were then compared with empty control (2 cats) and experimental control group (3 cats). Results: The data showed that active new bone formation were observed in 2 weeks and reached the summit in 4 weeks. The bone formation slowed down through 8 to 12 weeks but still significantly stronger than empty and experimental control groups in which no new bone growth were observed. Conclusion:The hard palate bone defect is eventually reconstructed by DO repair and the distraction gap was filled with active de nove intramembranous osteogenesis. A consecutive dynamic curve of fluorescent labeling deposition implies active bone formation and remodeling is revealed.

Objective This study was designed to study the distribution and developmental changes of 11?\|hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1(11?\|HSD1) in the neonatal rat brain. Methods Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to observe the distribution and changes of 11?\|HSD1 protein levels in the neonatal rat brain. Results 11?\|HSD1 protein was highly expressed in all layers of the cerebral cortex as well as all sub\|regions of the hippocampus by immunohistochemistry.Western blot analysis showed that the expression of 11?\|HSD1 protein in the neonatal rat cortex,hippocampus and hypothalamus was higher during the first two weeks of life,but started to fall from 15th day after birth.Conclusion\ The expression pattern of 11?\|HSD1 protein in different brain areas in the neonatal rat suggests that 11?\|HSD1 protein may play an important role in the development and maturation of the brain.\;[

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of Hedyotic diffusa injection in reversing multi-drug resistance of BEL-7402/5-FU cells.Methods The IC50 of BEL-7402/5-FU cells was examined by MTT,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and the content of tyrosine kinase in total protein of tumor cells was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The IC50 of Hedyotic diffusa injection (6 μL/mL ) combined with 5-FU (636.5 μmol/L)decreased significantly compared with that of 5-FU applied alone (1 071.6 6μmol/L). The reversal on BEL-7402/5-FU was 1.68-fold.After injection of 5-FU plus Hedyotic diffusa ,the apoptosis rate of BEL-7402/5-FU cells was increased significantly and the tyrosine kinases of BEL-7402/5-FU cells decreased significantly.Conclusion Hedyotic diffusa injection plays a certain role in reversing multi-drug resistance of BEL-7402/5-FU cells,which may be related to decreasing their tyrosine kinases.

Objective To investigate the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-D (PDGF-D) and bascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in gastric carcinoma and elucidate the potential relationship between their overex-pression and clinical pathological characteristics. Methods Immunohistochemical assay was performed to detect the protein expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in tissues. Semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain re-action (RT-PCR) was performed to evaluate the mRNA expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in part of random selec-ting gastric carcinoma samples. The correlation between the expression of PDGF-D and VEGF, and the relationship between the expression of PDGF-D, VEGF and the clinical pathological characteristics were analyzed. Results The protein expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in gastric carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal gastric mucosa(P <0.05) ;The expression of PDGF-D and VEGF correlated with TNM staging, depth of invasion and lymphatic metastasis (P < 0.05), while the expression of PDGF-D also correlated to histolog-ical differentiation (P < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between PDGF-D and VEGF at the mR-NA and protein expression levels (P < 0.05). Conclusion PDGF-D and VEGF specifically highly expressed in gastric carcinoma. The abnormal expression may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and metastasis of gas-tric carcinoma.

Object To investigate the effects of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) and Danshen (DS) on the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma and tumor angiogenesis. Methods C 57BL mice with Lewis lung carcinoma were used in this study, which were injected respectively with TMP injection 50, 100, and 200 mg/(kg?d) and DS injection 5, 10, and 20 g/(kg?d), ip, for 21 days. Then the volume, weight, and numbers of the metastatic foci on lungs, tumor microvessel density (MVD) were determined, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of Lewis lung carcinoma was observed. Results TMP could remarkably reduce the volume, weight, and numbers of the metastatic foci, MVD, and the expression of VEGF of Lewis lung carcinoma. But DS did not show remarkably effect on Lewis lung carcinoma. Conclusion TMP can remarkably inhibit the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma on mice, and its mechanism might be relative to inhibiting the expression of VEGF and angiogenesis. DS injection has no remarkably effect on Lewis lung carcinoma.
