Objective To investigate the distribution of rick factors between intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in Tongliao city in Innermogolia. Methods Medical records(departments of medical neurology and cardiovascular internal medicine in 2003~2005) were randomly selected from 6 general hospitals above the second class in Tongliao city Innermogolia .All the risk factors of the cartain diseases were carryed on retrospective investigation analysis. Results All the survey index have significantly statistical difference in the basic data. Single-factor non-conditional Logistic regression analysis showed 10 risk factors including the gender, age, nation, smoking, hypertension, history of hypertension, alcohol drinking, glucose(GLU), history of diabetes and triglyceride(TG) have significantly statistical difference. These 10 risk factors were taken into multifactor stepwise regression model. 8 risk factors( gender, age, smoking, history of hypertension, history of diabetes,GLU,TG and hypertension) had significantly statistical difference. Conclusions Compared with CHD, the influence of age, smoking, history of diabetes and TG are lower, and the influence of the gender, the history of hypertension, GLU and hypertension are higher in ICH.

Objective:To study the influence of vitamin C ( VC) on dendritic cells ( DC) ,and detect DC maturation,to provide a feasible method and thought for quickly preparating DC vaccines.Methods:Collected the peripheral blood (about 50 ml) from healthy volunteers,and isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells with lymphocyte separation medium and obtain DC.With stimulating with different concentrations of VC for (24 h),then washed with PBS,and set up blank control group (V0).The expression of DC surface co-stimulating molecules CD80/86 and HLA-DR, CD40 was detected by flow cytometry.By setting the concentration gradient and time gradient, exciting optimal concentration and stimulating time of VC on DC, and analyzed the reasons of VC promoting DC maturation.Results:VC could effectively stimulate DC,CD80/86 expression had significantly increased contrast to the blank control group (V0).And the experiments show that VC’s best stimulating concentration was 1 mmol/L,and on the third day,the CD80/86 expression rate of VC group was (78.6±4.6) %,and blank control group V0 was (34.1±5.7) %.DC surface HLA-DR expression:VC (56.8± 4.4) %,blank control group V0 (25.4 ±4.7) %,the difference between two groups was statistically significant,P<0.05.CD40 and CD40L expression and results show that VC 2.5 mmol/L group of CD40 expression rate up to (59.3±3.7) %,while V0 group was only (11.1 ±2.4) %,that illustrate VC could significantly regulate CD40 expression on DC surface,but CD40L not reflect.Fluorescence mi-croscope results showed that DC’ s antigen catching ability was also significantly promoted.Conclusion:VC can significantly regulate DC maturity,and may up regulate CD40,thus promoting the express of CD80/86 and HLA-DR.When the concentration is 1 mmol/L,VC expresses the strongest regulation function on DC.

Atomic force microscopy has become an important tool for studying biological samples based on its high spatial resolution, high force resolution and the capability of working at physiological conditions. This article reviewed the application of AFM imaging and force measurement in biology and medicine.

TSH1, a novel transcription factor in rice containing conserved AP2/EREBP domain, was screened from the EST database. The specific interaction of TSH1 and DNA elements was detected by two kinds of traditional methods, electronic mobility assay and yeast one-hybrid assay, which suggested that THS1 specifically binds to GCC element in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, It was confirmed by atom force microscopy (AFM) that TSH1 binds to GCC element (core sequence GCCGCC) not DRE element (core sequence GCCGAC), and the single molecular force between TSH1 and GCC element was quantitatively measured. The molecular force of TSH1 with GCC element is (83.9 ?2.2) pN. This interaction can be observably blocked by the dissociate TSH1 protein in the solution. These above results proved that TSH1 recognizes and binds to GCC with specifically interaction, which also demonstrate the high sensitivity of the AFM measurements for the single base substitution of the GCC core sequence greatly reduced the binding affinity. Comparing these methods for identification the binding of transcription factor with its DNA element, it was considered that AFM is expected to be a sensitive and reliable method that offers valuable information for the characterization of transcription factors.

AIM:To observe the effect on NF-?B pathway and cell motility in breast cancer cell lines after transfection of dominant negative I?B? plasmid.METHODS:After stable transfection of mutant I?B? plasmid into highly metastatic breast cancer lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435,we detected NF-?B binding activity by EMSA,cell growth ability by cell growth curve,colony forming test,and cell motility by millicell-PCF chamber.RESULTS:Constitutive activities in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 were observed.Stable transfection of a dominant negative Ⅰ?B? resulted in downregulation of NF-?B binding activity,thus inhibited cell mobility without significant effect on cell growth.CONCLUSION:Cell migration ability is inhibited in highly invasive breast cancer cells by inhibition of NF-?B pathway in vitro.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of different amounts of iodine intake on the cellular and humoral immune in Grave's disease (GD) patients.MethodsThe clinical GD cases were diagnosed by thyroid fine needle Cytology examination.Patients in GD group are divided into GD group Ⅰ and GD group Ⅱ based on the median of urine iodine.The blood levels of FT4,FT3,TSH,TPOAb,TGAb,TRAb and TNF-t were detected.The difference and association of these parameters between these groups were analyzed.ResultsThe TNF-αt level in GD Ⅰ group was higher than that of GD Ⅱ group( P ＞ 0.05 ) ;The average level of TRAb of GD Ⅰgroup ( [ 1.4 ±0.2 ] U/L) were higher than that of GD Ⅱ group ( [ 1.2 ± 0.1 ] U/L) ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ;The positive rates of TGAb and TPOAb of GD Ⅰ group were higher than that of GD Ⅱ group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The percentages of patients with high level of TGAb and TPOAb in GD Ⅰ group ( 78.9％ 、84.2％ ) were higher than that in GD Ⅱ group (50.0％,62.5％ ) ( x2 =6.79,10.70,P ＜0.05 ) ; Analysis showed a linear positive correlation of TNF-αwith TRAb and TPOAb ( r is 0.489 and 0.563,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionIodine is an important factor to the development of Graves disease.Excessive iodine intake will exaggerate the GD condition and patients with GD should be controlled for iodine intake.

AIM: To investigate the role of nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) in the induction of IL-8 gene by TNF-? in colon cancer cells and the effect of antioxidant on the induction of IL-8. METHODS: ELISA was used to detect the concentrations of IL-8. IL-8 mRNA was analyzed by using RT-PCR. NF-?B in the cell nuclei was detected with electrophoretic mobility shift assay. RESULTS: (1) IL-8 production and IL-8 mRNA expression induced by TNF-? was blocked by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC). (2) TNF-? triggered the activation and translocation of NF-?B and PDTC inhibited the activation of NF-?B induced by TNF-?. CONCLUSION: The induction of IL-8 gene and protein by TNF-? is dependent on the activation of NF-?B. Antioxidants may inhibit the induction of IL-8 gene and protein through inhibiting NF-?B activation.
