0 05). The detective rate of (85 7%) CgA in the P53 protein positive group(21 cases) was significantly higher than that of 54 5% the P53 protein negative group(55 cases). Conclusions The positive rate of CgA was increased with corresponding to the lower down of differentiation grades . Very close relationship is found between the expression of P53 protein and the incidences of CgA positive cell. It suggested that the expression of P53 protein might play an important role in neuroendocrine differentiation in ovarian mucinous tumors.

Objective To examine whether activation of nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) exists in skin lesions of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ) and its association with disease activity. Methods The skin lesions were inves tigated histopathologically in patients with SLE, and NF-?B activation was ass essed by immunohistochemical analysis semi quantitatively. Results Expression o f NF-?B was found on skin lesions in 14 of 15 patients with SLE, including 8 s trong positive (), 3 moderate positive (), and 3 mild positive (+). Brown-coloured particles were mainly distributed in keratinocytes, especially in prick le cells and granular layer cells, as well as in mononuclear cells of dermis. Th ere was no correlation between NF-?B activation and disease activity. However, NF-?B was not detected in skin lesions of all patients with non-SLE and heal thy controls. Conclusions NF-?B activation may be associated with the developm ent of skin lesions in patients with SLE,and not with disease activity.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different concentrations of remifentanil on the expression and distribution of gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) in the cardiomyocytes of rabbits.Methods Healthy adult rabbits of both sexes,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium.Their hearts were rapidly excised and retrogradely perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with K-H solution saturated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 37 ℃.After 15 min of stabilization with K-H solution,the 24 isolated hearts were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),and low,medium and high concentrations of remifentanil groups (R1-3 groups).The hearts were continuously perfused with K-H solution at 37 ℃ in group C.The hearts were perfused for 60 min with K-H solution containing remifentanil 12,25 and 50 ng/ml in R1-3 groups,respectively.The myocardial specimens were then obtained from the anterior wall of the left ventricle for detection of the expression and distribution of Cx43 by Western blot and immunohistochemistry,respectively.Results The expression of Cx43 was gradually down-regulated in C and R1-3 groups in turn (P<0.05).Compared with group C,there was a tendency for the proteins localized at end-to-end contact sites of ventricular cardiomyocytes to localize at side-to-side contact sites in R1-3 groups,and the distribution was messy in R1-3 groups.Conclusion Remifentanil dose-dependently down-regulates the expression of Cx43 and changes the distribution of Cx43,which may be one of the mechanisms of remifentanil-induced arrhythmia in rabbits.

Object To study the reactivation of neferine (Nef) and pralidoxime chloride (2-PAM?Cl) on mice brain cholinestrase (ChE) inhibited by organophosphate. Methods Micro-DTNB method was used to determine the ChE activity of mice brain inhibited by DDVP in vitro and in vivo, then the inhibitory effect of DDVP (0.001-0.03 mg/L) on mice brain ChE in vitro was observed. The reactivative effect of Nef and 2-PAM?Cl on brain ChE of poisoned mice with DDVP in vivo and in vitro was compared. Results In vitro, the inhibitory effect of DDVP at different concentrations on mice brain ChE showed a concentration-effect relationship. The IC_(50) was 0.003 mg/L. The reactivative effect of Nef (2.4, 4.8 mg/L) and 2-PAM?Cl (5, 12.5 mg/L) on brain ChE inhibited by DDVP (0.02 mg/L) enhanced with increasing their concentrations. In vivo, after 30 min of treated with DDVP (10 mg/L, sc), the mice were given (ip) with Nef (15, 30 mg/kg) or 2-PAM?Cl (25, 50 mg/kg), respectively. The ChE activity rate in these two treated groups were (41.6?10.9) %, (56.5?12.4) % and (24.1?14.3) %, (28.4?11.9) %, respectively. The difference between poisoned group (sc DDVP) and Nef treated group was significant (P0.05). Conclusion The results suggest that Nef have a more remarkable reactivative effect on inhibited brain ChE in vitro and in vivo than 2-PAM?Cl. This may be contributed to that Nef can penetrate the blood-brain barrier.
