Gadd45a, a p53 and BRCA1-regulated growth arrest and DNA damage gene, plays important roles in suppressing cell transformation and tumor malignancy. Gadd45a maintains the genomic stability through inhibiting the cell growth and promoting the DNA repair etc, by which it suppresses the tumor development. Additionally, Gadd45a is involved in some important signaling pathway, contributing to its function in tumor suppressing.

Objective To study the cardiomyocyte and renal cell apoptosis induced by overtraining, and the preventive effects of anisodamine against the adverse effects. Methods The rats were forced to swim till exhaustion to reproduce the animal model of overtraining. The animals were randomly divided into control group, exhausted group and anisodamine group. The exhausted group, depending on the recovery time after exhaustion, was divided again into exhaustion subgroup, 6h after exhaustion subgroup, and 24h after exhaustion subgroup. The animals in the anisodamine group received intraperitoneally 10mg/kg of anisodamine before the swimming overtraining, and divided again into 6h after anisodamine injection subgroup and 24h anisodamine injection subgroup. The cardiomyocyte and renal cell apoptosis was observed by the method of TUNEL, image analysis and flow cytometry. Results It was revealed by TUNEL that the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes was increased after exhaustive swimming, especially in the 6h after exhaustion subgroup. The number of apoptotic cells was also increased in kidney of 0h, 6h and 24h after exhaustion subgroups, especially in 24h after exhaustion subgroup. The apoptosis ratio was also increased significantly in 0h, 6h and 24h after exhaustion subgroups as demonstrated by flow cytometry. Compared with the rats of exhausted group, the number of apoptotic cells in heart and renal tissue was decreased remarkably after anisodamine injection. Conclusion The apoptosis of cardiomyocyte and renal cell could be induced by exhaustive swimming. Compared with kidney, heart injury recovered more quickly. Anisodamine had the preventive effect on the injury to heart and kidney in exhausted rats.

AIM To study the effect and mechanism of sildenafil on rabbit corpus cavernosum in vitro . METHOD Rabbit corpus cavernosum(RCC) segments were incubated with various concentrations of sildenafil. The formation of cGMP was stimulated with 1 ?mol?L -1 sodium nitroprusside(SNP), and the cyclic GMP concentration was measured by radioimmunoassy technology. In the organ bath, strips of RCC were precontracted with 10 ?mol?L -1 phenylephrine. Sildenafil were added with increasing doses gradually, graded relaxations were induced using various concentrations of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and methacholine (MCH). RESULT In the presence of SNP, the cGMP concentration was increased in rabbit penile tissue, the increase of cGMP was greater when sildenafil was added. Sildenafil 10、100 nmol L -1 、1 ?mol?L -1 dose-dependently relaxed RCC strips. CONCLUSION Sildenafil increases cGMP concentration in RCC is attributed to the augmentation of NO/cGMP pathway, and the accumulation of cGMP improves the relaxation of RCC.

Objective To study epidemiological trends of leprosy for 50 years in Gansu Province. Methods Epidemiological indicators and their trends were analyzed. Results By the end of 1998, a total of 4 773 leprosy cases had been detected in Gansu Province, of which 77.76％ distributed in 24 counties in Longnan, Gannan and Linxia prefectures, and 3 507 cases were cured and other dropped out or died. Type ratio of MB to PB was more than 60％ during the period. Since the mass surveys and comprehensive control were implemented in the 1960s, prevalence and detection rates had decreased continuously and the number of endemic counties reduced from 84.88％ in 1986 to 24.14％ in 1998. There were 42 active cases at the end of 1998 with a prevalence rate of 0.0017 per 1000. Conclusion Through the efforts for 50 year running, leprosy has been successfully controlled in Gansu Province.

Objective To evaluate the role of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2) in 17β estradiol-induced inhibition of propofol-caused neuroapoptosis in the hippocampus of newborn rats.Methods Seventy-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 7 days,weighing ll-18 g,were divided into 6 groups (n =13 each) using a random number table:dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group,fat emulsion group (group F),17β estradiol group (group E),propofol group (group P),propofol plus 17β estradiol group (group PE) and propofol plusl7β estradiol plus mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 inhibitor U0126 group (group PEU).17β estradiol 600 μg/kg was injected subcutaneously every 24 h for 7 consecutive days in group E,and the equal volume of DMSO was given instead in group DMSO.Propofol 75 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally every 24 h for 7 consecutive days in group P,and the equal volume of fat emulsion was injected instead in group F.Propofol 75 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally,and 17β estradiol 600 μg/kg was injected subcutaneously every 24 h for 7 consecutive days in group PE.Propofol 75 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally,17β estradiol 600 μg/kg was injected subcutaneously,and U0126 10 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally every 24 h for 7 consecutive days in group PEU.At 15 min after the last injection,3 rats in each group were randomly selected,and arterial blood samples from the cardiac apex were collected for determination of arterial oxygen partial pressure.The animals were sacrificed at 24 h after the last injection for determination of the expression of activated caspase-3 (by immunohistochemistry) and p-ERK1/2 (by Western blot).Results There was no significant difference in arterial oxygen partial pressure between the six groups (P＞0.05).Compared with group F,the expression of activated caspase-3 was significantly up-regulated,and the expression of p-ERK1/2 was downregulated in group P (P＜0.05).Compared with group P,the expression of activated caspase-3 was significantly down-regulated,and the expression of p-ERK1/2 was up-regulated in group PE (P＜0.05).Compared with group PE,the expression of activated caspase-3 was significantly up-regulated,and the expression of p-ERK1/2 was down-regulated in group PEU (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which 17β estradiol inhibits propofol-caused neuroapoptosis in the hippocampus is related to up-regulation of the expression of p-ERK1/2 in newborn rats.

Objective To prepare a detective membrane strip for detection of food allergen-specific IgE in serum samples and estimate its clinical application value in allergic diseases. Methods The crude extracts of the food allergens were prepared. Nitrocellulose membrane as the solid support was selected and the coating and the detecting conditions were optimized. The membrane strips were used to detect serum samples in 210 patients with allergic diseases and the results were compared with German Allergy Screentesting system. Results The optima] experimental conditions were as follows: The NC membrane was adopted as the solid support. After being spotted, the food allergens were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature, followed by 2% PVA blocking for 1 hour. After serum samples were diluted (1: 10) and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature, the concentration of anti-human IgE was 2 μg/mL Compared with the German Allergy Screen-testing system, their positive detectical coincidence was 63.6%, and negative detectical coincidence was 94. 6%. The two methods had no difference in detecting the majority of food allergens such as egg white, milk, peanut, soybean, crab and shrimp (X2 2.53, 2.40, 2.08, 2.38, 0.17,1.13, P>0.05). Conclusions The advantages of our method for detecting allergic diseases are little serum needed, multiple detective allergens, simple manipulation and low cost. This method has obvious clinical application value, which should be a new detective method for the allergic diseases with broad perspectives.

Objective To investigate the relationship between positive experience and perceived social support of the parents with a cerebral palsy child. Methods 105 parents with a cerebral palsy child who were hospitalized in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between November , 2014 and January , 2015 were conveniently selected and investigated about their positive experience and perceived social support with general information questionnaire, positive aspects of caregiving and perceived social support scale. The correlation between the two was analyzed. Results The mean score of the parent′s positive experience was (30.82 ± 5.26); the dimension of self affirmation was (16.71 ± 3.06) and the dimension of life expectation was (14.10 ± 2.85). The scores of the parents′ positive experience were significantly different among gender, education of parents and the age,gender of children. The score of the parents′ positive experience was positively correlated with the total score of perceived social support (r = 0.214, P = 0.029) and the score of other support (r = 0.227, P = 0.020). Conclusions The parents′ positive experience was medium of the high level, which is worth of more attention in order to improve it. The higher perceived social support score is , the more positive experience parents will have.
