AIM: To study the effect of moderate hypothermia on immature rats with hypoxic-ischimic brain damage (HIBD). METHODS: The rats with HIBD were divided into normothermic recovered group (IN) and moderate-hypothermic recovered group (IH). Sham-operated rat pups were normothermic control group (NC) and moderate-hypothermic control group (HC). 0, 2, 6, 24, 48, 72 h after the end of hypoxic-ischemic (HI) insult, the brain was homogenized for measuring glucose and ATP, brain mitochondria was extracted for SDH activity, complex II activity and the capacity of ATP synthesization. RESULTS: In IN group, the brain glucose was significantly lower at 0 h, and recovered as normal at 2 h. The brain ATP and brain-mitochondrial SDH activities were firstly decreased at 2 h, 6 h and then recovered gradually, it was at it's peak value at 72 h. Brain-mitochondrial complex II activity and the capacity of ATP synthesis were recovered at 2 h, but they decreased again at 6 h and came to normal level at 72 h. In moderate-hypothermic group, all the indexes were significantly higher at all the time point than that in IN groups. CONCLUSION: Moderate hypothermia inhibits the decrease in the mitochondrial SDH activity, mitochondrial complex II activity and the capacity of ATP synthesis, increases the brain ATP concentration, improves the energy metabolism, and then protects the brain tissue.

An ultrastructural analysis of distal nephron has been investigated using morphometric method for rats with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. The cells analysed were distal convoluted tubule cells (DCT cells), distal straight tubule cells (DST cells), intercalated cells (I cells) and principal cells (P cells) of collecting duct. The cells were sampled from superficial cortex. The results revealed that in DCT, DST and P cells the profile area of cells, the surface density of plasma membrane (Sv), the boundary length of cell surface [B(A)], the volume density (Vv) of mitochondria, and the length of microvilli were significantly decreased in the rat with hypothyroidism. However, in the rat with hyperthyroidism there were an obvious increase of profile area of cell and Vv of mitochondria in I cells. The results suggest that thyroid hormone is an important factor for maintaining the normal cellular structure in the distal nephron. The morphometry shows that the changes of DCT, DST and P cells are distinct in the rat with hypothyroidism, and the ultrastructural changes of I cell are obvious in the rat with hyperthyroidism.

BACKGROUND: Previous researches indicate that ADp14ARF transfecting positive tumor cell line of p53 can inhibit the proliferation; in addition, the inhibitory effect is superior to transfection negative tumor cell line of p53. Whether simultaneous transfection of p14ARF and p53 genes can increase expression and accumulation of p53 and accelerate apoptosis of tumor cells needs further studies.OBJECTIVE: To construct double plasmid expression vector plRES-p14ARF-p53 by using gene engineering so as to observe the inhibitory effect on proliferation of osteogenic sarcoma cells.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Public Laboratory Platform, Immune Researching Room, Basic Medical College, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2005 to October 2006. Human osteogenic sarcoma MG-63 cells were provided by Cell Laboratory, Immune Researching Room, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. plRES-p53 plasmid and plRES vector containing p53total-length gene order were provided by Wuhan Jingsai Biology Company.METHODS: Based on gene engineering, p14DNA (0.5 kb) was amplified from cultured L02 cells of normal human hepatic cells into plRES vector. Recombinant plasmid plRES-p14ARF-p53 was determined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme and transfected into human osteogenic sarcoma MG-63 cells through mediation of liposome to screen positive clones. Otherwise, cells were divided into three groups, including blank control group (MG-63cells), blank vector control group (stably transfecting plRES-neo cells) and p14ARF-p53 group (stably transfecting plRES-p14ARF-p53 cells). ① DNA content and cycle of tumor cells were measured by using flow cytometry before and after transfection. ② Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect quantitative and semi-quantitative expression of p53 and p14ARF protein in tumor cells after stable transfection. ③Thiazole blue chromatometry and growth curve were used to observe proliferation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① DNA content and cycle of osteogenic sarcoma cells; ② expressions of p53 and p14ARF protein in tumor cells; ③ proliferation.RESULTS: Double plasmid expression vector plRES-p14ARF-p53 was constructed successfully. ① DNA content and cycle of osteogenic sarcoma cells: Flow cytometry demonstrated that tumor cells mainly stayed in G1 phase after transfection. ② Protein expression: RT-PCR and Western blot indicated that p14ARF and p53 gene independently expressed in target cell mRNA and protein, respectively. ③ Cell growth: At 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after MG-63 transfection, inhibitory rates of tumor cells were 33.43%, 69.37%, 66.19% and 75.26%, respectively, which was significant difference as compared with blank vector control group (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Wild p53 and p14ARF can synergistically inhibit the proliferation and accelerate the apoptosis of osteogenic sarcoma cells.

Objective To investigate the impact of percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) on the inflammatory indices and postoperative vascular restenosis.Methods This study involved 90 patients undergoing PCI procedures for Coronary artery disease (CAD) compromising a single coronary artery.Fourty healthy individuals with normal findings by coronary angiography were selected as the control group.Before and after PCI or coronary angiography,plasma hs-CRP and IL-6 were measured in all the subjects by immunonephelometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA),respectively.Results (1) In the CAD patients,the plasma hs-CRP level was significantly elevated after PCI as compared with the preoperative level((18.69 ±5.14) mg/L vs (14.45 ± 4.32) mg/L,t =1.42,P < 0.01),whereas in the control group,the hs-CRP level underwent no significant changes after coronary angiography((13.59 ±5.99) mg/L vs(12.46 ±5.35) mg/L,t =1.25,P > 0.05).(2) PCI procedures also resulted in significant elevation of plasma IL-6 level in the CAD patients((1.87±0.45) pg/L vs (1.35 ±0.39) pg/L,t =1.33,P<0.01),but in the control group,IL-6 showed no significant variation after coronary angiography ((1.32 ± 0.41) pg/L vs (1.21 ± 0.38)pg/L,t =1.16,P > 0.05).We observed significant difference of hs-CRP and IL-6 levels between the CAD patient group and the control group (t =4.96,6.61 respectively,P < 0.01).Conclusion Plasma hs-CRP and IL-6 are elevated in CAD patients following PCI procedures.But the roles of elevated hs-CRP and IL-6 in the vascular restenosis following the procedures need further investigation.
