Objective To observe the effect of Xuebijing injection on the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB-1) in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods PMCs were isolated from rat colic omentum and the 3rd generation cells were used in the experiment. PMCs were incubated with LPS at different concentrations (1,10,100 mg/L);with LPS (10 mg/L) for 2, 6, 12, 18, 21, 24, 36 h;with Xuebijing injection at different concentrations (2,10,20 g/L) after incubation with LPS (10 mg/L) for 2 h. PMCs in the control group were incubated with medium. HMGB-1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. TNF-α and HMGB-1 protein in supernatants was detected by ELISA. Results Compared to the control group, the expression of HMGB-1 mRNA and protein was significantly increased in groups stimulated by LPS in a time- and dose-dependent manner (all P<0.05);the expression of TNF-α was increased in the groups stimulated by LPS in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). In the groups stimulated by LPS (10 mg/L), the expression of TNF-α appeared double hump within 36 hours. Compared to LPS (10 mg/L) group, Xuebijing injection significantly inhibited the expression of HMGB-1 and TNF-α (all P<0.05 ) in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions HMGB-1 as a late mediator of inflammatory responses may play a role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis. Xuebijing injection can reduce peritoneal inflammatory impairment by inhibiting the up-regulation of TNF-α and HMGB-1 induced by LPS.

[Objective] To construct a database for the genetic polymorphism of 18 STR loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSFIPO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA, PentaE, PentaD, SE33) in Hart population from Zhejiang province. To investigate the application of 18 STR loci in the field of paternity testing and prenatal diagnosis. [Methods] Fluorescent dye labeling multiplex STR-PCR, capillary electrophoresis and DNA sequencer GeneScan were adopted in genotyping 598 unrelated samples collected from Han population in Zhejiang province. 18-STR database was established and analyzed. Population comparison was conducted between Han population in Zhejiang province and 8 other population. 15-STR and 18-STR identification system were compared in 497 paternity testing cases. [Results] We observed the distribution of 18 STR loci in Han population meet Hardy-Weinberge equilibrium and was different from other 8 population (X~2 test, P>0.05). Statistical results showed that the heterozygosis (He) ranged from 0.630 to 0.942. The combined power of discrimination was>0.9999999999. Compared with 15-STR identification system, higher paternity index scores and higher exclusion rate were obtained with 18-STR identification system in dual-case paternity test and mutation identification. One trisomy 21 fetus was found in a prenatal paternity test case which had two characteristic genotypes in 2 STR loci of D21S11 and Penta D. [Conclusions] The 18 loci were relatively highly genetic polymorphic in Zhejiang Han population and could be used for paternity testing. Some STR loci could be used in prenatal diagnosis for aneuploidy.
