Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(2):179-183
Objectives To investigate the effect of rhEPO on newborn rats with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Meth-ods Sixty newborn Sprague-Dewley (SD) rats at the age of 48 hours were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group, NEC group, and intervention groups 1, 2 and 3 treated with rhEPO. The rats were fed rat breast milk substitutes and stressed under hypoxia and cold exposure to establish NEC model. The rats with NEC were treated with different doses of rhEPO (0.1U/ml, 1U/ml and 10U/ml) in intervention groups. The expression of Bcl-2 and caspase-3 were measured by immunohistochemistry, and intestinal pathological changes were observed using HE staining. The value of positive expression was analyzed by IOD (integral optical density) image analysis system. Results Abdominal distention, decreased activity and unresponsiveness occurred in NEC rats 24 hours after stress exposure, and pale skin, decreased skin temperature and respiratory rhythm change were observed in severe cases. The symptoms appeared later and milder in three intervention groups. The NEC incidence of newborn rats was as followings:control group(0%), model group(60%), intervention group 1( 30%), intervention group 2(18.2%), intervention group 3(9.1%) and the difference was signiifcant between each group (P=0.008). The grades of intestinal injury, the expression of active caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were signiifcantly different among groups (P<0.01). Intestinal injury was the most severe and the expression level of active caspase-3 was the highest in NEC group. After rhEPO treatment, the intestinal injury and the production of active caspase-3 protein were decreased, and the expression of Bcl-2 was increased. Conclusions Oral rhEPO could decrease the ex-pression of intestinal active caspase 3, and increase the expression of Bcl-2. The protective effect of rhEPO on NEC is dosede-pendent.
2.Therapy for moderate and advanced liver carcinoma
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(8):612-615
Due to the latent and highly invasive characteristics of liver carcinoma,a majority of patients are frequently not diagnosed until moderate or advanced stage in the disease process,and usually complicate with cirrhosis.Only 15% -30% of the patients are eligible for radical resection.The overall survival time is about 3-4 months.Therefore,on the basis of early diagnosis and treatment of liver carcinoma,how to improve the treatment effect of the moderate and advanced liver carcinoma,ameliorate the quality of life and prolong the survival time,becomes the focuses and difficulties both at home and abroad.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of two different modes of follicular aspiration(FA)guided by transvaginal ultrasound(TVU)in infertile patients with clomiphene citrate(CC)-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods From December 2005 to December 2007,85 patients with CC-resistant PCOS were randomly divided into two groups.Group Ⅰ(thorough treatment)had the every possible small follicles being punctured and aspirated,while group Ⅱ(routine operation)only had the larger follicles being operated.These patients were monitored with TVU and testing the steroid hormone levels.The effect of the two methods on the hormone levels and rates of ovulation and pregnancy were analyzed.Results After the treatments,the cumulative rates of ovulation and pregnancy in the group Ⅰ were higher than those in the group Ⅱ 83.3%(25/30)vs 42.1%(16/38),?2=11.903,P=0.001;43.3%(13/30)vs 13.2%(5/38),?2=7.843,P=0.005].Moreover,the levels of luteinizing hormone(LH)and testosterone(T)were decreased significantly after the treatment in group Ⅰ (17.68?3.11)vs(11.58?1.84),t=9.220,P=0.000;(3.41?2.14)vs(1.47?1.29),t=3.937,P=0.000],whereas those in group Ⅱ were not improved markedly (17.76?4.51)vs(16.11?3.53),t=0.229,P=0.062;(3.88?1.54)vs(3.72?1.27),t=0.995,P=0.326].Conclusions Thorough treatment that has the every possible small follicle being punctured and aspirated can significantly improve the endocrinological abnormalities,and increase the rates of ovulation and pregnancy in patients with CC-resistant PCOS.

Objective To investigate the gene silencing,apoptosis induction and the suppression of proliferation in vivo transfected by UTMD techniques associated with shRNA techniques. Methods The survivin-shRNA expression vector was constructed. Nude mice were randomly arranged into 3 groups:control group, plasmid injection and ultrasound (P + US), P + UTMD group. Histological examination were evaluated. Protein expressions of Survivin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Bcl-2, Bax,Caspase-3, Ki-67, nucleostemin (NS), p53 were investigated by immunohistochemistry. Results In transplanted tumors experiment, comparing with those in C and P + US groups, protein expressions of PCNA,Ki-67,Bcl-2, Survivin, NS were down-regulated markedly, while those of Bax, Caspase-3 and P53 were up-regulated significantly ( P < 0.05). Conclusions UTMD combined with shRNA technique can induce apoptosis and inhibit proliferation significantly, without causing any apparently adverse effect,representing a new,promising technology that can be used in the tumor gene therapy and research.

AIM: Tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) participates in the establishment of inflammatory lesions in pneumonia.High production of TNF-? may relate to the severity of pneumonia.There have already been several studies examining the association between pneumonia and single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) that affect cytokine productivity.SNPs of TNF-?,-1 031,-863,-857,-308 and-238 have been identified.The variant alleles of these SNPs have suggested to be related to high TNF-? production and the severity of pneumonia.Therefore,the aim of this study is to examine the association between the severity of pneumonia in Chinese and the following SNPs: five in the TNF-? gene promoter(-1 031,-863,-857,-308,-238).METHODS: A total of 117 Chinese individuals were enrolled in this study.They were 67 patients with pneumonia and 50 healthy subjects.TNF-? was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism for all subjects.The frequency distributions of genotypes in different groups were analyzed by SPSS 11.5 program.RESULTS: Frequency of subjects who carried at least one variant allele in TNF-?-1 031,-863,-857,-308,-238 SNPs among pneumonia patients was significantly higher than that in healthy subjects.And frequency of subjects who carried variant allele in TNF-?-863,and-308 SNPs among severe adult community acquired pneumonia patients was significantly higher than that in common pneumonia patients.CONCLUSION: TNF-?-863 and-308 SNPs appear to be associated with severe adult community acquired pneumonia in Chinese populations.

The endophytic bacterum 01-144 was marked by using the method of antib iotic-resistance. Colonization of 01-144 in tomato root and stem was investig ate d. Result showed that 01-144 colonized in the root and stem and the colonizing a bility in the root was stronger than in the stem after dipping seed or watering root treatmeat, It was also found that this bacterium could more easly colonized in the low stem than in the upper stem. The population fluctuation of 01-144 ha d the same trend in both root and stem i.e.first increased then decreasing, an d the fluctuation in the root was more even than in the stem.
