Objective To study the inhibitory effects of angelica A_3 active fraction (A_3) inflammation and up-regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression of rat uterus induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Methods The anti-inflammatory effects of A_3 were investigated in rats using the carrageenin-induced paw swelling model and in mice using dimethylbenzene-induced ear edema model; RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to analyze Cox-2 mRNA and the protein expression levels. Results A_3 (1, 5, and 10 mg/kg) dose-dependently inhibited dimethylbenzene-induced ear edema in mice and paw swelling in rats by ig administration. LPS 1 ?g/mL could significantly increase the level of Cox-2 mRNA and protein expression. A_3(10—320 mg/L) could concentration-dependently inhibit Cox-2 mRNA and protein over-expression stimulated by LPS. Conclusion A_3 possesses better anti-inflammatory effects than angelica oil, which maybe relates to its inhibitory effects on Cox-2 overexpression.

Objective To investigate the role of IFN-γ and FOXP3 expression in subpopulation distribution and functions of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in the microenvironment of renal cell cancer.Methods 30 renal cell cancer tissue samples were freshly collected from the laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in the first hospital of Jiaxing.After frozen sectioning,immunofluorescent staining was conducted to detect the infiltrating CD4 positive and CDs positive cells,and the expression of FOXP3 and IFN-γ as well.In addition,TILs were isolated from the tumor tissues by density-gradient centrifugation.TILs from tumor center or tumor invasive edge were purified independently and measured for the mRNA levels of FOXP3 and IFN-γ by qRT (quantitative reverse transcription)-PCR.Results Tumor-infiltrating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were concentrated in the invasive edge of renal cell cancer tissues.The expression of FOXP3 was found to be inversely related to that of IFN-γ from the immunofluorescent staining.The relative FOXP3 mRNA levels for the TILs from tumor center and invasive edge were 64.6 ± 9.4 and 36.2 ± 1.8,respectively,with significant difference(P ＜0.05).The relative IFN-γ mRNA levels were 631.8 ± 151.4 and 1 726.0 ± 344.1 (P ＜ 0.05).The trend of relative expression of FOXP3 was reversed in terms of IFN-γ.Conclusions The study on the renal cell cancer tissue samples suggested that the tumor-specific cytotoxic immune cells relatively concentrated in the tumor invasive edge.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) in rural residents of Gaoyou City,Jiangsu Province.Methods A total of 4504 rural residents were investigated in a cross-sectional study.Questionarre survey and physical examination were used for the stndy.Fatsing venous blood samples were collected for biochemical examination.T-test,chi-square test for multiple-group data comparison and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results The prevalence of HUA was 11.9％,15.7％ in male,which was significantly higher than 8.6％ in the female (P＜0.01),the risks of HUA in male was 1.98 times higher than in female.The average value of serum uric acid in this population was higher than.that of female.The prevalence of HUA in female increased with age.Non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed WHR,Cr,Tg,hypertension were the independent risk factors of male patients with HUA.Age,BMI,Cr,Tg,hypertension were independent risk factors of HUA in female.Conclusion The prevalence of HUA can be affected by age and sex.Weight control,keeping blood pressure and blood lipid profiles in normals levels are important for the prevention of HUA.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of homocysteine (HCy) and adiponectin (APN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 65 patients with T2DM (diabetes mellitus group) and 25 healthy controls (control group) matched in the age and sex were recruited in the study.Serum HCy,APN,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),fasting insulin (FINS),total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) were simultaneously measured.The homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) was calculated according to FPG and FINS.All the serum indicators were compared between the two groups.Results Serum level of HCy in T2DM group was (15.74 ± 2.76) μmol/L,which was significantly higher than (6.98 ± 1.94) μmol/L in the healthy control group (t =16.88,P ＜ 0.01).The serum level of APN in T2DM group was (8.14 ± 2.70) mg/L,which was significantly lower than (16.10 ± 1.93)mg/L in the healthy control group (t =13.44,P ＜ 0.01).Serum levels of FPG,HOMA-IR,TC,TG in T2DM group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group (t =10.62,17.49,6.30,7.52,P ＜ 0.05).Serum level of APN in HCy ≥ 15μmol/L group was significantly decreased compared with HCy ＜ 15μmol/L group.Serum level of HCy was negatively correlated with APN in T2DM group after the influence of FPG,HOMA-IR,TG,TC were corrected in the partial correlation analysis.Conclusion In T2DM group,serum level of HCy was increased,but serum level of APN was decreased,serum HCy was negatively correlated with APN,higher serum level of HCy and lower serum level of APN are related with the process of insulin resistance and T2DM.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of magnesium sulfate plus aspirin in the treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension and its effect on placental hypoxia-induced factor-1α (HIF-1α) levels.Methods:This is a case-control study. The clinical data were collected from 96 patients with gestational hypertension who were admitted to Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital between January 2019 and January 2023. These patients were divided into a control group and a study group, with 48 patients in each group, according to different treatment methods. The control group received magnesium sulfate treatment, whereas the study group was treated with magnesium sulfate combined with aspirin. Both groups were treated for 14 days. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. Pre- and post-treatment blood pressure, placental HIF-1α levels, and endothelin levels were compared between the two groups. The incidence of adverse reactions and adverse pregnancy outcomes were also compared between the two groups.Results:The response rate in the study group was significantly higher compared with that in the control group, with 93.8% (45/48) versus 79.2% (38/48), respectively ( χ2 = 4.36, P < 0.05). Following treatment, both diastolic and systolic blood pressure levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 5.70, 7.33, both P < 0.05). Placental HIF-1α and endothelin levels in the study group were (41.03 ± 6.95) μg/L and (93.37 ± 8.29) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(82.97 ± 8.86) μg/L, (124.96 ± 9.32) ng/L, t = 17.55, 25.80, both P < 0.001]. The incidences of adverse reactions and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes in the study group were 12.5% (6/48) and 10.4% (5/48), respectively. These were significantly lower compared with those in the control group, which were 31.3% (15/48) and 27.1% (13/48), respectively ( χ2 = 4.94, 4.38, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Magnesium sulfate combined with aspirin is highly effective in treating pregnancy-induced hypertension. This combined therapy can effectively lower patients' diastolic and systolic blood pressures, as well as placental HIF-1α and endothelin levels. It can obviously reduce the incidences of adverse reactions and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes.
