AIM:To study the protective effects and mechanism of Fushen Jiangzhuo formula (FSJZ) on the rat renal interstitial fibroblasts with renal tubulointerstitial lesion .METHODS:The serum containing FSJZ and blank con-trol serum were prepared .The rat model of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis ( MsPGN) was established and ex-tended the time of modeling to 20th weeks for developing tubulointerstitial lesion naturally .The rat renal interstitial fibro-blasts at the end of 12, 16, 20 week of modeling were isolated and cultured .The effects of FSJZ on the expression of hepa-tocyte growth factor (HGF) and bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) at mRNA and protein levels in the pathological re-nal interstitial fibroblasts were determined .RESULTS:The anti-fibrosis factors HGF and BMP-7 were changed in patho-logical renal interstitial fibroblasts .Renal tubulointerstitial lesion significantly down-regulated the expression of HGF and BMP-7, while the drug containing serum of FSJZ significantly up-regulated the expression of HGF and BMP-7.CONCLU-SION:Drug containing serum of FSJZ has protective effect on pathological renal interstitial fibroblasts by regulating the mRNA and protein expression of HGF and BMP-7.

Objective To explore the sensitivity and specificity of conventional eytogeneties(CC),nested-reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(nested-RT-PCR) and dual-color and dual-fusion fluorescence in situ hybridization(D-FISH) technique in monitoring the tumor load of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) during treatment.Methods CC,nested-RT-PCR and interphase D-FISH were simultaneously carried out to detect the tumor load of 5 CML patients during treatment with interferon-Mpha(IFN-α).Results 24 specimens from 5 CML patients before and after IFN-α therapy were investigated and the results showed that 23 specimens were Ph+ with different positive ratios by CC.All specimens were bcl-abl mRNA (+) by RTPCR.The Ph-ber-abl+ specimen from case 2 after 75 months of post-treatment showed 4.5%bcr-abl+ cells by FISH.2 specimens from case 1 at 22 mortths,26 mortths of post-treatment.2 specimens from cage 5 after 12 months,16 menths of post-treatment and 2 specimens from case 4 after 6 menths,10 menths post-treatment with same Ph+ ratio respectively were investigated by FISH and showed 47.5% and 39.5%,74.0%and 60.5%,99.0% and 99.5% bcr-abl+ cells,respectively.Conclusion CC can be used as a basic tool to monitor the change of tumor load in CML during treatment. When CC can't evaluate precisely dynamic changes of tumor load and when tumor load in patient with treatment were too low to detect Ph bv CC while bcr-abl mRNA was still positive by RT-PCR,FISH Call be used to detect precisely tumor load and monitor dynamic change of the disease.More sensitive RT-PCR was used to monitor tumor load when it was negative to bcr-abl by FISH during treatment.

The ablated aerosols of biological matrix sample were studied using 213 nm nanosecond laser ablation system.The stable signal intensity and high sensitivity were obtained when the laser energy was 25%, the spot size was 200 μm, the scan rate was 20 μm/s, the frequency was 20 Hz and the carrier gas was 700 mL He + 700 mL Ar.Relative fractionation index of 56 elements were investigated and 31P as the internal standard element was selected under the optimized laser ablation conditions.The results showed that particle size of the biological sample was 3 μm, which was larger compared with NIST 610 sample.Element fractionation in biological sample was smaller than in glass sample, and relative fractionation index of most elements attained 1.0 ± 0.1.Element fractionation mechanism of biological sample was discussed.The possible reason why the relative fractionation index in biological sample with large particle size did not significantly increase compared to the glass sample is that the 3-μm particles entered into ICP can be atomized.On the other hand, enrichment effect for large ablation particles was relatively small.Further study of the influence factors of fractionation effect indicated that, the fractionation effect had relations with laser ablation energy, laser frequency and scan rate, negatively relation with the oxide boiling point, and positively relation with oxide bond energy and ionization energy.

AIM: To investigate the effects of oridonin on the invasion and migration of hepatocelluar carcinoma cells.METHODS: Human hepatocelluar carcinoma MHCC-97H cells were cultured and treated with 5, 10 or 20 μmol/L oridonin.The migration ability was measured by wound healing assay.The invasion ability was examined by Transwell invasion assay.The adhesion capabilities were evaluated by adhesion assay.The protein levels of LIM kinase-1 (LIMK-1), cofilin and phosphorylated cofilin (p-cofilin) were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Oridonin inhibited the migration, invasion and adhesion abilities of MHCC-97H cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).After oridonin treatment, the expression of cofilin had no obvious change, but the protein levels of LIMK-1 and p-cofilin decreased significantly.CONCLUSION: Oridonin inhibits the invasion and migration of MHCC-97H cells.The mechanism may be related with the regulatory effect of oridonin on LIMK-1/cofilin signal transduction pathway.

Objective To analyze clonal chromosomal abnormalities of patients with MDS and evaluate prognosis combining with complete blood counts and blast counts. Methods The chromosomes were prepared with direct method, brief culture of cells and R-banding techniques, and then the karyotypie analysis was performed. Results Abnormal chromosomes were detected 44.9%, including the numeral abnormalities of chromosomes and structural alterations.The most common chromosomal aberrations were -7,+8.The rate of abnormal karotype in refractory anemia with erythroblasts (RAEB1 and RAEB2) was much higher than in refractory anemia (RA) and refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RAILS). Chromosomal abnormalities correlated positively with bone marrow blasts. Conclusion Karyotype analysis is very useful for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation in MDS.
