Objective To explore the effects of high glucose on glucose transport activity, and phosphorylationandexpressionofinsulinsignalingproteins in primary cultured rat adipocytes. Methods Isolated rat adipocytes were cultured at different glucose concentrations (5, 10, 15, 25 mmol/L) for 24 h. Then the glucose uptake, the phosphorylations of insulin receptor (IR), insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 1 and 2 and protein kinase B (PKB) as well as the protein expressions of IRS1, IRS2, p85 subunit of phosphatitylinositol 3 kinase (p85) and PKB were measured. Results These adipocytes treated with different high glucose showed the impairment of the basal and insulin induced increase in glucose uptake and significant decrease of IR, IRS1 and PKB phosphorylations as well as IRS1 protein expression, but up regulation of IRS2 protein expression. p85 and PKB contents and IRS2 phosphorylation were unaffected. Conclusion The exposure to high glucose inhibits glucose uptake and induces insulin resistance in adipocyte. The mechanism may be involved in affecting the multiple step phosphorylations and the expressions of insulin signaling proteins.

Objective To investigate the expression of forkhead box C2 (FOXC2),Vimentin and E-cadherin protein in colorectal adenocarcinoma and the relationship of FOXC2,Vimentin and E-cadherin with the clinicopathological parameters,and the role of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in colorec tal adenocarcinoma and the correlation between FOXC2 and EMT.Methods The expressions of FOXC2,Vimentin and E-cadherin in 102 cases of colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues and 30 cases of adjacent noncancerous tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method,and the correlation between FOXC2 and EMT and the clinicopathological parameters of colorectal adenocarcinoma were analyzed.Results The positive rates of FOXC2,Vimentin and E-cadherin in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues were 53.9％,40.2％ and 26.5％,respectively.The positive rates of FOXC2,Vimentin and E-cadherin in adjacent noncancerous tissues were 6.7％,0 and 63.3％.Compared to paracancerous tissue,the expression of FOXC2 and Vimentin in colorectal adenocarcinoma was significantly increased,while the expression of E-cadherin was significantly decreased.The positive rates of FOXC2 and Vimentin in lymph node metastasis group were 79.1％ and 67.4％,respectively,which were significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis (35.6％,P ＜0.01;20.3％,P ＜0.01).The positive rate of E-cadherin in lymph node metastasis group was 16.3％,which was significantly lower than that without lymph node metastasis (33.9％,P ＜ 0.01).The positive rates of FOXC2 and Vimentin in T1 +T2 phase were 41.7％ and 25.0％,respectively,which were significantly lower than those in T3 + T4 stage (83.3％,P ＜0.01;76.7％,P ＜0.01).The positive rate of Ecadherin in T1 + T2 stage group was 33.3％,which was significantly higher than that in T3 + T4 stage (10.0％,P ＜ 0.01).There was a positive correlation between FOXC2 and Vimentin in colorectal adenocarcinoma (P ＜0.01),and negatively correlated with E-cadherin expression (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions EMT may promote the development and metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma,FOXC2 may be involved in colorectal cancer EMT and through the EMT to promote the malignant process of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

With the increasingly tense doctor-patient relationship,the practice teaching of laboratory medicine has obviously been affected.For example,the practice teachings systems do not adapt to the updated situations,and practice teaching has been simplified and communication training ignored.In order to deal with these problems and ensure the goals of practice teaching,various measures have been taken in training hospitals.Firstly,the practice system has been further improved and implemented effectively by strengthening mobilization and adopting qualification licensing before practice and interaction practice between teachers and students and regular communication between school and training hospital during practice and strict assessment after practice.Secondly,medical ethics educations and laboratory biological safety have been strengthened.Thirdly,the modem automation and classic morphology should be integrated.Finally,the ability of communication between medical laboratory and doctor and patients should be cultivated,and so on.These measures are to ensure the effect of the practice teaching and cultivate excellent students.

To study effects of arachidonic acid (AA) on the growth and differentiation of rat adipocytes, a cells culture system of rat primary preadipocytes was established. The cells treated by different concentration of AA supplemented based on DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Cell proliferation was measured by trypan blue exclusion and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay method. Hoechst33342 fluorescence staining observed AA induced morphological changes. Oil Red O staining extraction assay assess the degree of adipogenesis and differentiation, and cyclooxygenases-2(COX-2) mRNA were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results showed that rat preadipocytes treated with 120 μmol/L AA for 24-72 hours remarkably promoted the cells proliferation compared with control, 160 μmol/L AA treated for 48 hours could induce apoptosis of preadipocytes. 40, 80 μmol/L AA decreased the fat content in cells at 72 hours, and 40 μmol/L AA significantly up-regulated the expression of COX-2 mRNA at 24 hours. This results indicate that AA regulate adipocytes proliferation and differentiation depended on treatment time and concentration. 40-80 μmol/L AA maybe useful to control body fat, which may be associated with the increase of COX-2 mRNA.

Objective To investigate the long-term effects of intrauterine mild hyperglycemia exposure and postnatal high fat diet on the body weight and metabolism of offspring through a pregnant rat model of intrauterine mild hyperglycemia.Methods Twenty-one pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into intrauterine hyperglycemia group and control group.Twenty percent streptozotocin (STZ,25 mg/kg)was given to rats of intrauterine hyperglycemia group by a single intraperitoneal injection to induce intrauterine mild hyperglycemia; control group rats received an equal volume of citric acid-sodium citrate buffer.Off springs were divided into 4 groups:exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia and fed with normal diet group(group DN)or high fat diet group (group DF) ; exposed to intrauterine euglycemia and fed with normal diet group(group CN)or high fat diet group(group CF).The blood glucose levels of pregnant rats in two groups and body weights of offsprings in four groups were recorded.At the age of 28 weeks,the mesenteric fat amount,epididymal amount,perirenal fat amount,total triglyceride (TG)and high density 1 ipoprotein-cholestrol(HDL-C) were measured in all four groups.Results (1) The average blood glucose level of intrauterine hyperglycemia group[(16.6 ± 3.4) mmol/L] was significantly higher than that of the control group [(5.8 ± 1.1) mmol/L,P ＜ 0.01].(2) On the birth day,3 weeks and 4 weeks,the body weight of group DN [(7.4 ± 0.6),(44.1 ± 5.9),(79.6 ± 7.4) g] and group DF [(7.4 ± 0.2),(43.9 ±6.9),(76.1 ± 5.8) g] were remarkably increased compared with group CN [(6.6 ± 0.5),(35.6 ± 4.4),(71.5±6.8) g,P＜0.05]; but the body weight in group CF [(6.7 ±0.5),(33.0 ±6.5),(66.1 ±10.2) g] had no statistical difference compared with group CN(P ＞ 0.05).(3)From then on,the bodyweights of the offsprings in four groups presented an increasing trend,but there was no statistical difference until 28 weeks(P ＞0.05).(4) The perirenal fat amount of group DN,group CF and group DF [(13.8 ±3.3),(14.3 ± 3.2),(18.4 ± 1.3) g] were remarkably increased compared with group CN [(9.7 ± 3.5) g,P ＜ 0.05] ; the epididymal fat amount of group CF and group DF were also significantly increased compared to group CN(P ＜ 0.05) ; the mesenteric fat amount in four groups had no statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05).(5) The TG level of group DN,group CF and group DF[(0.52 ±0.14),(0.52 ±0.09),(0.54 ±0.17)mmol/L] were significantly higher compared to group CN [(0.41 ± 0.09) mmol/L,P ＜ 0.05],but there was no statistical difference within the first three groups (P ＞ 0.05) ; the HDL-C level in four groups had no statistical difference(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions In intrauterine mild hyperglycemia environment,there were some evidently metabolic changes observed in the offspring,including body weight increasing on birth day and early postnatal period,visceral fat amount increasing and lipid metabolism disorders,which could be aggravated by postnatal high fat diet.
