High-fat diet-induced insulin resistance rat model was assessed by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique.Compared with the control group,the vaspin mRNA expression in adipose tissue was significantly decreased in insulin resistant rats induced by high-fat diet( P<0.05 ),which was increased by metformin( P<0.05 ).These data indicate that metformin may ameliorate insulin resistance in rats via upregulating vaspin mRNA expression.

Objective To explore the effect of ilomastat combined with chemotherapeutic drug capecitabine on human laryngeal cancer hep-2 cell .Methods hep-2 cells were treated by ilomastat and capecitabine alone and their combination .The untreated group was taken as the control group .The proliferation activity of the hep-2 cells was analyzed by MTT assay ,and the Jin′s Q was adopt-ed to assess the characters of combination medication of ilomastat and capecitabine ;the expression level of MMP-9mRNA in hep-2 cell was detected by RT-PCR;the apoptosis rate of hep-2 cell was detected by the flow cytometry .Results Both ilomastat and capecitabine had the inhibiting effect on the proliferation of hep-2 cell ,and the combination of ilomastat and capecitabine increased the cell inhibitory rate(P<0 .05) ,the interaction between ilomastat and capecitabine was the synergistic effect when the combined concentration was (8+100)μg/mL ,while the interaction between ilomastat and capecitabine was the additive action when the com-bined concentration was (40+ 400)μg/mL ;RT-PCR analysis showed that compared with control group ,the expression level of MMP-9mRNA in the single ilomastat group and the combination group were both decreased (P< 0 .05) ,and the expression of MMP-9mRNA in the combination group was lower than that in the single ilomastat group (P<0 .05);the flow cytometry indicated that the apoptosis rate of hep-2 cell in the single ilomastat group and the single capecitabine group were both higher than that in the control group(P<0 .05) ,and the apoptosis rate in the combination group was higher than that in the other groups (P<0 .05) .Con-clusion Ilomastat combined with capecitabine can obviously enhance the inhibition and apoptosis-induced ability of single drug on laryngeal cancer hep-2 cell ,the action mechanism of ilomastst is down-regulation of the expression level of the MMP-9 mRNA .

Objective:To prove hemocyanin is an important high-molecular-weight allergen from Eriocheir sinensis.Methods:The proteins were extracted from Eriocheir sinensis tissue with lysate extraction method .The protein components were analyzed by SDS-PAGE,two-dimensional electrophoresis and Western blot.Serum IgE from allergic donors identified a candidate protein,which was char-acterized by MALDI-TOF/TOF.The immune property of the candidate protein was tested using Dot-blot.Results: By SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional electrophoresis analysis,we prove that the native protein components were completely.According to the Western blot result,at least 18 components could react with the positive serum.Among them, two 70-80 kD proteins had the same isoelectric point.So,may be they were the same protein.MALDI-TOF/TOF analysis results showed that the suspected proteins were hemocyanin.A sensitization frequency of 61%was observed in Eriocheir sinensis patients by Dot-blot.Conclusion:Hemocyanin was identified as an important high-molecular-weight allergen from Eriocheir sinensis.

Objective To study the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning (PC) on motor function and mitochondrial apoptosis after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats.Methods Thirty-six healthy,male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (each n =12):a control (CON) group,an SCI model group and an HBO-PC group.The SCI group and the HBO-PC group after 7 sessions of HBO-PC treatment were subjected to SCI modeling using Allen's method.The CON group was not given any special treatment.Two weeks after the modeling,Basso,Beattie,and Bresnahan BBB scale was used to rate the rats' locomotor function,and the T8 segment of the rats' spinal cords was removed.After extracting total RNA from the spinal cord tissue,real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels ofcaspase-3,cytochrome C (CYC),Bak,Bax,Bcl-x and Bcl-2 in the spinal cord tissue.Results Two weeks after modeling,compared with the CON group,the average BBB locomotion score of the SCI model group had decreased.In contrast,caspase-3,CYC,Bak and Bax mRNA expressions had increased significantly.Compared with the CON group,the average BBB locomotion score of the HBO-PC group had decreased,caspase-3 expression had increased,and Bax mRNA expression had decreased,but the differences in the changes between the two groups were not statistically significant.Bak mRNA expression increased and CYC expression decreased,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant.Compared with the SCI model group,the average BBB locomotion score of the HBO-PC group increased while caspase-3,CYC,Bak and Bax mRNA expressions decreased,but none of these differences between the two groups was statistically significant.Bak mRNA expression increased and CYC mRNA expression decreased,and those differences between the two groups were statistically significant.Bcl-x and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in the CON,HBO-PC and SCI model groups were significantly different.Conclusion HBO-PC can reduce the loss of motor function after SCI,at least in rats.The mechanism may be related to reducing neuron mitochondrial apoptosis.
