In order to explore the relationship between the expression of TGF ? 1,its receptor and the wound age during the healing process of rats skin incision wound,a preliminary study were performed on the vital skin wound 0 5~168h after injury by using the immunohistochemical and the molecular biological methods.The results were then compared with those of the postmortem skin injury.The results revealed that the expression of the cytokine TGF ? 1 in the epithelial cells were enhanced 0 5h after the antemortem skin incision and the strongest reactions were seen at 24~96h post injury.The expression of TGF ? 1 was also found in the macrophages and the fibroblasts in the granulation tissues.Analysis of the immunoblotting(Western blot)results showed that the peak value of the TGF ? 1 protein was appeared at 168h after the antemortem skin incision and peaked at 96h.TGF ? 1 was detected 0 5~3h after postmorten skin injury by using the immunohistochemical method.No expression of mRNA was found.It is suggested that some regular and characteristic expression of TGF ? 1 in the incised skin wounds were related with the wound age.It might be used for timing of skin wound on rat.

Purpose To study the proteins expression of genes related to apoptosis of retinal cells in development of human fetus. Methods Fifty cases of retinas of human fetus aged from 12 to 38 weeks were collected and paraffin embedded sections were made. Immunohistochemical method was used. Results Fas protein was expressed by cells of ganglion cell layer, inner and outer nuclear later, which were just formed on 16th week. It was not expressed until 38th week, Fas(+) staining appeared in layers of retina. Fas-L(+) staining was detected in cells of layers of retina on 26th week and the positive staining located in ganglion cell layer on 32th week. Neuronal fiber layer was Fas-L positive. Bax positive staining was detected on 8th week. Bax positive nucleus were observed mainly in GCL and ONL on 16th week. It was in INL on 24th week and in Müller cells inner terminates on 26th week. After this time, all cells of retina were bax immune negative staining. Bcl-2(+) staining appeared in differentiating neuroblastic layer on 16th week. Beginning on 24th week, bcl-2 (+) staining was observed in glial cells of GCL and inner terminates of Müller cell. Conclusion Apoptosis of developing retinal cell may be Fas/Fas-L independent and bax may be involved in apoptosis of the cells.

Objective To estimate the influence of curcumin on psoriasis-like lesions and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression in guinea pigs,so as to investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of curcumin in psoriasis.Methods A model of psoriasis-like skin inflammation was established by applying propranolol 5% cream (4 times a day for 3 weeks) to the dorsal skin of ears of 30 guinea pigs,which were then equally classified into 5 groups:model group receiving no treatment,observation group receiving no treatment but observation for 2 weeks,model control group treated with intragastric 25% polyethylene glycol solution (1 rnl once a day) for 2 weeks,low-dose and high-dose curcumin groups treated with intragastric curcumin solution at 20 and 40 mg/kg per day respectively once a day for 2 weeks.Six guinea pigs receiving neither induction by propranolol nor treatment by curcumin or polyethylene glycol solution served as the normal control group.Skin specimens were harvested from the ears of guinea pigs in the normal control group after three weeks of breeding,in the model group immediately after the establishment of psoriasis-like model,in the observation group after 2 weeks of observation,and in the other 3 groups after 2 weeks of treatment.Subsequently,haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was conducted to observe histopathologic changes,and immunohistochemical assay to detect the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA).Results Gross observation of the skin revealed that curcumin attenuated psoriasis-like skin manifestations in guinea pigs.There were significant differences in histopathologic scores (F=296.14,P< 0.01) and PCNA expression rate among the 6 groups (F =108.49,P < 0.01).Least significant difference (LSD) test showed that both histopathologic scores and PCNA expression rate were significantly higher in the model group than in the normal control group (6.42 ± 0.49 vs.0.92 ± 0.20,63.17% ± 5.47% vs.20.83% ± 2.99%,both P < 0.01).After 2 weeks of treatment,both low-dose and high-dose curcumin groups showed significantly lower histopathologic scores (4.25 ± 0.27 and 1.75 ± 0.42 vs.6.42 ± 0.49,both P< 0.01) and PCNA expression rate (43.50% ± 2.90% and 25.50% ± 3.74% vs.63.17% ± 5.47%,both P < 0.01) compared with the model group.Conclusion Curcumin can attenuate pathological manifestations of psoriasis-like lesions,and downregulate PCNA expression in guinea pigs.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of SOX2 on chemotherapy sensitivity of human laryngeal epithelial cells Hep-2.
METHOD:
We designed and synthesized RNAis for silencing the expression of SOX2 in Hep-2 cells and selected the most effective RNAi by Western blot analysis. Then the recombinant plasmids of pGCsi-H1-SOX2 and pGCsi-H1-NC were constructed and transfected into Hep-2 cells to build cell lines of psiSOX2-Hep-2 and psiNC-Hep-2. CCK-8 assay had been used to test the sensitivity of Hep-2 cells to 5-FU and PTX after silencing SOX2 expression. Hoechst staining had been used to exam the changes of Hep-2 cells apoptosis treatment by 5-FU and PTX after silencing SOX2 expression. Furthermore, the changes of apoptosis-related genes expressions were detected by Western blotting.
RESULT:
The cell lines of psiSOX2-Hep-2 and psiNC-Hep-2 were successfully established, and the expression of SOX2 protein was decreased 78% in psiSOX2-Hep-2 cells compared with psiNC-Hep-2 cells. After reducing SOX2 expression, the sensitivity of Hep-2 cells to 5-FU and PTX were increased and the IC50 values for 48 h were decreased to 8.12 μg/ml and 5.16 μg/ml. Meanwhile, the apoptosis rate and the expression of apoptotic gene Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression were dramatically increased and anti-apoptotic genes survivin and Bcl-2 were significantly decreased in psiSOX2-Hep-2 cells compared with psiNC-Hep-2 cells.
CONCLUSION
Down-regulating the protein expression of SOX2 by RNAi will significantly enhance the sensitivity of human laryngeal epithelial cells Hep-2 to 5-FU and PTX.

Objective To investigate the relationship between K+ concentration in rabbit vitreous humor and postmortem interval (PMI) under different ambient temperature. Methods Rabbit corpses were stored at 5℃ , 15℃ , 25℃ , and 35℃ after execution, and 80~100μL vitreous humor was extracted from each eye of the rabbit in turn every 12 hours. The concentrations of K+ were examined by Modular DPPI automatic biochemistry analyzer. The Interpolation Functions were used to analyze the statistical relationship between PMI and K+ concentration under different temperature. Results In each animal group, K+ concentration increased with PMI. Equation was obtained after interpolation analysis on range of temperature 5℃ ~30℃ . The three-variable quintic surface equation was f(x,y)=-1.998e14+1.345e12x+5.902e13y+0.005585x2-4.509e11xy-3.876e12y2-0.0002868x3+0.003545x2y+4.406e10xy2-1.746e10y3+2.669e-6x4-1.568e-5x3y-0.0001771x2y2-1.64e9xy3+6.669e9y4-8.672e-9x5+4.467e-8x4y+2.354e-7x3y2+2.459e-6x2y3+2.05e7xy4-1.214e8y5(R2=0.9956), x stands for temperature, y stands for K+ concentration, f(x,y) stands for PMI. Conclusion The rule of K+ concentration changes at ambient temperature complied with three-variable quintic surface equation distribution. Measurement of interpolation function may be used for PMI estimation at different ambient temperature.
