Objective To explore the effect of hypoxia on the apoptosis of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in inhibition of apoptosis. Methods ①Culture and identification of HUVECs.②Establishment of hypoxic model(0,12,24,48 h)in HUVECs.③Incubation of HUVECs with VEGF(0 ng, 100 ng) under hypoxic condition for 24 h. ④Detection of apoptosis of HUVECs with TUNEL method. Results The percentages of apoptosis were different under different hypoxic conditions. The longer hypoxic time was,the higher apoptosis percentage was.VEGF reduced the apoptosis of HUVECs induced by hepoxia. Conclusion Over-apoptosis EVCs in one of the important factors for the impairment of endothelial function. HEGF inhibits the apoptosis of HVCs and having a pretive function on them.

Objective To study the effects of different oxytocin doses on neonatal pathologic jaundice.Methods A total of 386 newborn infants with normal term of labor were selected from the full-term pregnant women who were admitted to Jiaxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from August 2014 to September 2015 were divided into low dose group (2.5 ~5.0U,n=96), middle dose group (5.0 ~7.5U,n=96), high dose group (7.5~10.0U,n=96) and control group (n=98) according to the different dosage of oxytocin.Total labor time, neonatal gender, neonatal weight and maternal age, as well as the day of birth within seven days of skin side of the bile values were recorded.The probability of each group of neonatal patients with pathological jaundice and the relationship with oxytocin doses were studied.Results The incidence of neonatal pathologic jaundice was 3.23%in the low dose group, 6.67%in the middle dose group, 29.73%in the high dose group and 3.16%in the control group.The differences among low dose group, middle dose group and control group were not significan.Compared with high dose group, the incidence of neonatal pathologic jaundice in low dose group, middle dose group, and the control group were all lower(P<0.05).Conclusion Oxytocin less than 7.5U in labor has no significant effect on neonatal pathologic jaundice, >7.5U can promote pathologic jaundice.

AIM To explore the effect of hypoxia on apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) and the role of ecdysterone(EDS)in inhibition of apoptosis. METHODS ① Culture and identification of HUVECs;② Hypoxic model(0,12,24,48 h) in HUVECs was established. While HUVECs was incubated 24 h with EDS(100 mg?L -1 ) under hypoxic condition. Apoptosis in HUVECs was detected by TUNEL;③ HUVECs received EDS 100 mg?L -1 in normal and hypoxic condition. After 24 h, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was detected with immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS The apoptosis percentages are different under different hypoxic condition. The longer hypotic the time was, the higher the apoptosis percentage was. EDS reduced apoptosis of HUVECs. EDS could enhance expression of VEGF protein in cardiac myocytes of rat in normal and hypoxic condition. CONCLUSION The role of hypoxia in HUVECs apoptosis is more significant along with prolonging of hypoxic time. VEGF play an important role in protective effect of EDS on endothelial cell apoptosis.

Objective To study the correlation between fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) and blood uric acid,body mass index (BMI),blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipid and other metabolic factors in patients with primary gout.Methods Sixty-two patients with primary gout (gout group) and 32 healthy people (control group) were selected in this study.Gout group was divided into uric acid excretion decreasing group (FEUA < 7%,29 cases),mixed group (7% ≤FEUA ≤ 12%,25 cases) and uric acid production increasing group (FEUA > 12%,8 cases) according to the level of FEUA.The fasting blood glucose (FPG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG),blood lipid,serum creatinine,blood uric acid,glycosylated hemoglobin were tested.24 hours urine was collected and urinary uric acid and urinary creatinine was measured,FEUA was calculated and analyzed.Results BMI,mean arterial pressure,blood uric acid,glycosylated hemoglobin,total cholesterol,2 h PBG in gout group was higher than that in control group,and high density lipoprotein cholesterol,FEUA was lower than that in control group,and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in age,FPG,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,triacylglycerol between two groups (P> 0.05).There was no significant difference in age,blood uric acid,FPG,2 h PBG,glycosylated hemoglobin,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,high density hpoprotein cholesterol among uric acid excretion decreasing group,mixed group and uric acid production increasing group (P > 0.05),and there was significant difference in BMI,mean arterial pressure,triacylglycerol,FEUA among three groups(P< 0.05).FEUA was negatively correlated with blood uric acid in control group and gout group (r =-3.900,-0.476,P <0.05).FEUA was positively correlated with 24 h urinary uric acid in gout group (r =0.465,P =0.001),and nagatively correlated with triacylglycerol (r =-0.304,P < 0.05).Pearson analysis showed that FEUA was negatively correlated with blood uric acid in uric acid excretion decreasing group (FEUA < 7%) (r =-0.392,P < 0.05),FEUA was positively correlated with blood uric acid in non uric acid excretion decreasing group (FEUA ≥7%)(r =0.437,P < 0.05),but 24 h urinary uric acid was not correlated with blood uric acid(P > 0.05).Multi-stepwise regression analysis showed that blood uric acid,glycosylated hemoglobin,FEUA was significantly correlated with the onset of the gout (P < 0.05).Conclusions Besides blood uric acid level,there are significant changes in primary gout in blood pressure,serum glucose and lipid levels.FEUA could be used to estimate the ability of renal excrete the uric acid.Mean arterial pressure,glycosylated hemoglobin and FEUA are the risk factors for gout.

Light, auxin and brassinosteroid play important roles in plant growth and development. Genetic analysis has demonstrated complex interactions between their signaling pathways, but the gene regulatory mechanisms connecting these pathways are poorly understood. CYP72B1 and AUR3 are two important genes responsive to light, auxin and brassinosteroid at transcription level. To understand the regulation mechanism of the two genes, a new tool called OCMMat was developed for identifying cis-elements, OCMMat combines both the over-representation property of regulatory elements in co-expressed genes and the conservation property in orthologous genes, for the latter, it was estimated by an enrichment score of regulatory element in orthologous promoter sequences. Using this tool, 3 regulatory motifs shared by genes CYP72B1 and AUR3 were reported, motif GAGACA which is the same as a known cis-element AuxRE, motif AAGAAAAA containing the sequence of GT element and the third ATCATG which is a new one named EDIB element. The space and the order of AAGAAAAA and EDIB show the same pattern in promoters of both the co-expressed genes and the orthologs of CYP72B1. Based on the sequence analysis and the literature knowledge to date, a model was proposed for describing the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of CYP72B1 and AUR3 in response to light, auxin and brassinosteroid. The model presents how the signaling pathways of light, auxin and brassinosteroid are interplaying at gene transcription level. In response to light, the transcription factors GT factor and an unknown protein repress the expression of CYP72B1 and AUR3, the hormone pathways are not interfered and thus work in their own way. While in the absence of light stimulation, CYP72B1 and AUR3 are expressed and the products, in turn, inhibit both the auxin pathway and the brassinosteroid pathways. On the other side, at high hormone level, gene expression is up-regulated through ARF binding, the gene products inhibit the hormone pathways in a feedback manner, and meanwhile, rescues the light signal through the photoreceptor phyB.

Objective To study the effect of hydrogen peroxide on microstructure of mice kidney and discuss the toxic effect on mice kidney.Methods Thirty healthy male mice of Kunming Genus were divided into 3 groups at random:control group and two experimental groups. Running water was fed to control group for 10 days while 0.3,3 g/L hydrogen peroxide running water readily prepared was fed to the experimental groups for 10 days. On the 10th day,the kidneys were taken out,and fixed in the fixation solutions,conventionally produced and stained.Finally,they were studied under the optical microscope.Results Experimental groups:in the kidney tissue cytoplasm of proximal convoluted tubule showed hydropic degeneration and vacuolation which depend on dose of hydrogen peroxide.Conclusion Toxic effect on mice kidney can be caused by hydrogen peroxide.
