Objective To study the expression and effect of hepatocyte mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunitsⅠ (COXⅠ) gene in rat nonalcoholic fatty liver model. Methods Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and high-fat diet group, and the high-fat diet group was subsequently divided into 4 subgroups (2, 4, 8 and 12 week) with 8 rats in each. Cytochrome c oxidase activity was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Meanwhile,the expression of hepatocyte COXⅠ antigen in rat nonalcoholic steatosis model induced by high fat diet were detected by Western blotting. Mitochondrial DNA COXⅠ mRNA were assayed by reversetranscription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Results The levels of activity in nonalcoholic steatosis rats induced by high fat diet at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks were (0.88?0.32), (0.76?0.37), (0.48?0.26), (0.39?0.21) nmol?mg~ -1 ?min~ -1 , respectively, significantly lower than (0.98?0.37) nmol?mg~ -1 ?min~ -1 in control group (P

AIM: To study the expression and change of growth hormone receptors in experimental cirrhotic liver in rats. METHODS: Thioacetamide-induced liver cirrhosis was developed in Sprague-Dawley rats. The expression of growth hormone receptor and its mRNA was investigated by radio-ligand binding assay, revere transcript-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and digital image analysis in liver tissue or hepatocytes taken from normal control or cirrhotic rats with different stages of cirrhosis. RESULTS: Growth hormone-specific singular binding sties, namely growth hormone receptors, were detected in liver tissue or hepatocytes from rat samples with cirrhosis. The binding capacity of growth hormone receptors in rat cirrhotic live tissue was significant lower than that in normal control, and it decreased gradually along with the accumulation of collagen in the process of formation and development of liver cirrhosis. The binding sites of growth hormone receptors in rat cirrhotic liver cells were significantly lower than that in normal control. The expression of growth hormone receptor mRNA in rat cirrhotic liver tissue was also significant lower than that in normal control. CONCLUSIONS: The growth hormone receptor was expressed in cirrhotic livers at a reduced level in isolated hepatocytes or live tissue of cirrhotic rats, and lesser expression of growth hormone receptors was found in later stage of cirrhosis. The suppressed expression of growth hormone receptor was partly due to the reduced expression of its mRNA in cirrhotic liver tissue.

In order to investigate the effects of verapamil on the proliferation of meningiomas cells in vitro and in vivo, the cultured meningiomas cells were cultured with verapamil at different concentrations for 24 h and the inhibitory effects of verapamil on cell proliferation were observed by MTT method. The meningiomas model was established by implanting the newly removed tumor fragments into the nude mice subcutaneously. The nude mice with tumors were divided into two groups: verapamil-treated group and control group. Tumor volumes were measured and after 12 weeks the tumors were taken out and examined histologically. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the tumors was detected by using immunohistochemistry. It was found that verapamil could inhibit the growth of cultured meningiomas cells in a concentration-dependant manner. The inhibitory effect could be observed in the concentration of 1 micromol/L verapamil and the most obvious effects appeared in the concentration of 100 micromol/L. Tumor volume in the verapamiltreated group was obviously smaller than that in the control group (211.40+/-5.50 vs 163.94+/-3.62, P<0.01) and the expression of PCNA was also lower (1.52+/-0.24 vs 2.86+/-0.53, P<0.05). Tumor inhibition rate was about 22.45%. It was suggested that verapamil could inhibit the proliferation and growth of meningiomas cells in vitro and in vivo.

The three-dimensional method was taken to differentiate the various beta-lactamases. The integron was determined by PCR with integron-specific primer. DNA sequencing was also used to analyze resistance-related gene in the integron in multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Results The positive rate of integron detection in multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 42.4%.Three kinds of different length integron were found .They were 750bp,1 000bp and 2 500bp and aadB,aadA2,aadB,aac6-II and PSE-1 were the resistance-related gene cassette in the integrons.Conclusions Integron took part in mutiple resistance in multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.We should pay more attention to integron-mediated horizontal transference of mulidurg resistance to lessen the occurrence of multi-resistant strains.

Objective To discuss a new method of BMSCs culture which can reduce the lead-in of extraneous antigenic substances in the process of cell culture, and can thus better meet the demand on the quantity and biological characteristics of BMSCs in the clinical use of tissue engineering bone. Methods BMSCs from a human adult in vitro were induced by using autologous platelet-rich plasma instead of animal serum in high-carbohydrate DMEM (Dulbecco's minimum essential medium). After the cultured BMSCs were amplified rapidly by Rotary Cell Culture System, their growth status was observed and their biological characteristics were detected. Results The cells were in good growth status and presented fine biological characteristics. Their growth speed in Rotary Cell Culture System was observed to be evidently faster than that by conventional methods. Conclusions Rotary Cell Culture System by autologous platelet-rich plasma instead of animal serum is a good culture method to induce human BMSCs in vitro. The quantity and biological characteristics of BMSCs cultured in this way can meet the demand in clinical use.
