OBJECTIVE： To discuss the severe liver function damage induced by antituberculostics.METHODS： The severe liver function damage induced by antituberculotis was analyzed in 50 patients admitted into this hospital from January 1995 to January 2000.RESULTS： Sever liver function damage was related to the following factors:(1)history of liver diseases;(2)aged patient and malnutritional patient;(3)chronic alcoholism;(4)combined use of isoniazid,rifampin with other drugs;(5)hepatic dysfunction before treatment.CONCLUSION： The abovementioned factors should be under consideration in choice of antituberculotics.

The overexpression of P-glycoprotein(P-gp)and its coding gene mdrl is regarded as the classic mechanism of muhidrug resistance(MDR).Recent studies find that pregnane X receptor(PXR)can mediate the expression of P-gp.It is confirmed that PXR can also inhibit apoptosis of tumor cells.Therefore,preventing the activation of PXR specifically may be a new method to prevent MDR.

Cancer stem cells are a kind of cancer cell group with the ability of self-renewal and various diferentiation potentials.Recent studies have implicated that they play a significant role in tumor formation,metastasis,resistance to anticancer therapies and cancer recurrenee.Many studies show that microRNAs are involved in the maintenance,growth and behavior of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs),paving a new way for diagnosis,prognosis and therapy of breast cancer.

Objective The individualized treatment of breast cancer have attracted more and more attention .Different mo-lecular subtypes of breast cancer have different kinds of prognosis and therapeutic regimen .Studies have found that miR-342-3p is asso-ciated with breast cancer of hormone receptor and endocrine therapy resistance , as well as tumor cell apoptosis .This study was to fur-ther investigate the expressions of miR-342-3p in different breast cancer molecular subtypes and breast cancer cell lines to reveal the importance of miR-342-3p in individualized treatment of breast cancer . Methods A total of 90 tissue samples from patients with breast cancer surgery were collected .Three types of breast cancer cell line were cultured , including MCF-7, SKBr3 and MDA-MB-231.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was applied to detect the expression of miR-342-3p in breast cancer tissue . Results Expression of the miR-342-3p increased the most in Lumina B type breast cancer tissue (1.594 ±0.465), followed by Lumina A type (1.386 ±0.443), Her-2 high expression type (1.165 ±0.337), and the lowest in the tripe negative breast cancer tissue (0.837 ± 0.351), representing significant difference (P<0.05).There was no statistical difference in the expression of the miR-342-3p as to different age groups, lymph node metastasis and tumor size, histological grading and staging (P>0.05).As to the expression of miR-342-3p in three types of breast cancer cell line , taking SKBr3 as the reference, the relative ratio was 126(118-134) and MDA-MB-231 was 0.017(0.014-0.018). Conclusion The expressions of miR-342-3p are different in different molecular subtypes and cell lines of breast cancer , which are relevant to different molecular subtypes of breast cancer , making it possible reference index for breast cancer typing and relevant to good prognosis .

Objective To evaluate the effects of different doses of propofol on traumatic brain injury in rats .Methods Forty-eight healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats , aged 7-8 weeks , weighing 270-320 g , were randomly divided into 6 groups ( n=8 each ) using a random number table :sham operation group (group S ) , traumatic brain injury group (group I) ,fat emulsion group (group F) and low-dose propofol group (group L) , medium-dose propofol group (group M ) ,and high-dose propofol group (group H ) .Traumatic brain injury model was established according to the method described by Feeney .In group S ,0.9% normal saline was infused into the left femoral vein at 3.49 ml·kg-1 ·h-1 .In I ,F ,L ,M and H groups ,0.9% normal saline ,20% fat emulsion 3.49 ml·kg-1 ·h-1 ,and propofol 17.46 ,34.92 and 69.84 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 were infused into the left femoral vein ,respectively .Blood samples were collected from the right common carotid artery at 15 and 60 min of infusion (T1-2 ) for determination of serum S100β protein concentrations . The rats were then sacrificed after collecting blood samples at T2 and brains were removed for microscopic examination of the pathological changes of the cerebral cortex (light microscope ) and ultrastructure of neurons in the cerebral cortex (transmission electron microscope) .Results The serum S100β protein concentrations were significantly higher at T1 ,2 in the other five groups than in group S ( P<0.05 ) .Compared with I and F groups ,the serum S100βprotein concentrations were significantly decreased at T1 ,2 in L ,M and H groups ( P<0.05) .Compared with group L ,the serum S100βprotein concentrations were significantly decreased at T2 in M and H groups , and the serum S100β protein concentrations were increased at T1 in H group ( P< 0.05 ) . The serum S100β protein concentrations were significantly higher at T1 ,2 in H group than in group M ( P<0.05 ) .Light microscopic examination showed that nucleus condensation , cell necrosis , and cell edema were significantly attenuated in L ,M , and H groups as compared with group I;normal neurons could be found in group M .Transmission electron microscopic examination showed that the severity of neuronal damage was significantly attenuated in L ,M ,and H groups as compared with group I .Conclusion Different doses of propofol can reduce traumatic brain injury in rats .

AIM:To observe the effect of altitude hypoxia on ?-aminobutyric (GABA) content and prepro-somatostatin mRNA (PPS-mRNA) in the rat hypothalamus. METHODS: Using altitude hypoxia model,in situ hybridization and amino acid analyzer, the number of PPS-mRNA and GABA content in rat hypothalamus was determined. RESULTS:After altitude hypoxia, the contents of GABA in hypothalamus and the number of PPS-mRNA neurons in periventricular nucleus (PeVN), paraventricular nucleus (PaVN) and arcuate nucleus (ArcN) increased significiantly. Bicuculline, a GABA receptor antagonits, could enhance PPS-mRNA expression evoked by altitude hypoxia, but had no effect on GABA content. CONCLUSION: Altitude hypoxia can induce neurotransmitter imbalance of hypothalamus.

AIM: To observe the effect of altitude hypoxia on glutamate, aspartate and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the rat hypothalamus. METHODS: Using altitude hypoxia model, amino acid analysis system and the NADPH-d histochemistry, we determined the content of glutamate, aspartate and the number of NADPH-d neurons in the rat hypothalamus. RESULTS: After altitude hypoxia, the contents of glutamate, aspartate in the hypothalamus of rats were increased significantly, densely and deeply stained NADPH-d neurons were seen in hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN)and supraoptic nucleus(SON). If rat were pretreated with the NMDA receptor blockers Ketamine (ip,40 mg/Kg)or AP-V(i.c.v, 10 ?g) , the number of NADPH-d neurons in the rat hypothalamic PVN and SON was markedly less than that in corresponding altitude hypoxia group. CONCLUSION: NMDA receptor may take part in the expression of hypothalamic NOS induced by altitude hypoxia.
