Congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) is a family of autosomal recessive disorders.The most frequent form of the disease is steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency,which accounts for more than 90％ of all cases of CAH.In the pathogenesis of CAH,the cortisol synthesis impairement leads to excessive ACTH secretion of the adrenal glands,which ultimately results in adrenal hyperplasia and androgen overproduction.CAH causes signs of androgen excess including ambiguous genitalia in newborn females and rapid postnatal growth in both sexes.In the most severesalt wasting form of CAH,concomitant aldosterone deficiency may lead to salt wasting with life-threatening adrenal crises.Newborn screening,especially in males,reduces morbidity and mortality from adrenal crises.Glucocorticoid replacement remains the cornerstone of treatment.However,how to make a suitable therapeutic regimen of CAH is still a challenge to the pediatric clinician.

Objective:To explore the pretection of small dosage desamethasone to pulmonary function on acute lung injury model.Methods:54 male SD rats were divided randomly into control group,injury group and therapeutic group.Major observed marker consisted of count of cell sum,total protein level and TNF-? level of bronchoalveolar douche solution.Secondary marker consisted of lung coefficient,PAO2,TNF-? level in blood serum and histopathologic examination.Results: Alveolar texture in therapeutic group existed yet,but alveolar interval increased thickness,neutrophilic granulocyte infiltration relieved obviously,and a little bleeding in alveolar cavity.PAO2 in therapeutic group was higher than that of injured group(P

Objective To investigate the effect of Sufentainil on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and caspase-3 to rat heart. Methods Ninety Wistar rats weighing 200-300g were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=30):sham group(group S), ischemia-reperfusion group (group I/R)and Sufentainil group (group SF). Each group was divided into 3 subgroups according to the time phases at 30, 60 and 120min(n=10).In group I/R and group S the animals were received normal saline intravenously. In group SF sufentainil 5μg/kg NS 20ml was given. After 24 h, all animals were anesthetized with intraperitioneal 20% urethane 1 mg/kg, intubated and mechanically ventilated. The chest was opened and heart exposed via thoracotomy.In group S , left artery anterior descending artery(LAD) was not ocluded. While in I/R and SF group myocardial ischemia was introduced by clamping LAD for40 min. The animals were killed at 30, 60 and 120 min of reperfusion respectively(n=10each). Cardiac tropoin I(cTnI), expression of caspase-3 and apoptosis of cell in heart tissues were measured at the same time.Ultrastructure of myocardium taking the from apex was examined by electron microscopy at the end of 120 min reperfusion. Results Compared with group S, the concentration of cTnI was increased in the other 2 groups(P<0.05).cTnI was significantly lower in group SF than in group I/R(P<0.05). Expression of caspase-3 and apoptosis index induced by myocardial reperfusion were attenuatated in group SF(P<0.05). The damage of myocardial ultrastructure caused by myocardial I/R were also significantly improved in group SF. Conclusion Sufentainil may relieve the heart cellular apoptosis by decreasing caspase-3expressing.

Objective To study the relationship between HLA-DRB1alleles and the systematic lupus erythematosus of the Zhuang Nationality in Guangxi Province.Methods Allele polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers(PCR-SSP)were used to study the HLA-DRB1allele genes in52patients with SLE and70healthy controls of the Zhuang Nationality in Guangxi Province.Results The allele frequencies of HLA-DRB1*1401and HLA-DRB1*16were significantly less in SLE patients than those of the controls(RR=0.28,? 2 =5.00,P=0.02and RR=0.39,? 2 =3.95,P=0.05).HLA-DRB1*08,DRB1*11and DRB1*13alleles were not found in these two groups.Conclusion Our data suggest that the HLA-DRB1*1401and HLA-DRB1*16might be protecting genes for SLE in Guangxi Zhuang nationality.No susceptible gene is found in our study.

Objective: To explore the effect of KangXin oral solution on brain mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) deletion mutation in aged Balb/c mice.Methods: The Balb/c mice were divided into the young group(6weeks),middle-aged group(6months) and aged group(14 months),each group has 10 mice.Brain mtDNA were obtained and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) technique was used to examine the fragment deletion of brain mtDNA,thus,to confi rm there was deletion of mtDNA in aged mice,s brain.The aged Balb/c mice were divided into two groups: the aged blank control group being given 0.9% normal sodium,KangXin oral solution group.After being treated for four months,the brain mtDNA were obtained and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) technique was used to amplify wild-type and deletion from of mtDNA.Gel imaging meter was used to detect optical density,then,to compare the optical density ratios of deletion from mtDNA/ wide type mtDNA in two groups.Results: There were 304bp mtDNA deletion in brain mitochondrial of aged Balb/c mice,but same mtDNA deletions were not detected in brain mitochondrial of young and middle-aged mice.Compared with aged blank control group,the mtDNA deletion of aged Balb/c mice in KangXin oral solution group decreased obviously(P〈0.001).Conclusion: mtDNA deletion mutation accumulates with the increase of age.KangXin oral solution can inhibit mtDNA deletion of aged mice.

BACKGROUND:Gene therapy has become a new trend for disease therapy and brought promise for some refractory diseases. The key point is to choose the proper cell, gene and vector. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) gene transfected into endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from rat bone marrow for gene therapy. METHODS:The EPCs were isolated, cultured and identified from the bone marrow of Sprague-Dawley rats. Empty vector (LV-eGFP) or BMP2 gene (LV-eGFP-BMP2) was transferred into EPCs by the constructed lentiviral vector (LV). We examined the transfection efficiency by eGFP fluorescence, BMP2 secretion by ELISA, BMP2 expression by Western blot, and compared the capacities of migration, proliferation and anti-apoptosis after transfection in the three groups of normal EPCs, empty vector-EPCs, and BMP2-EPCs. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The transfection efficiency of lentiviral vector was 90%. BMP2 gene-transferred EPCs secreted and expressed more BMP2 proteins (P<0.01), and showed enhanced anti-apoptotic ability (P<0.05). The proliferation and migration capacity did not change obviously (P>0.05). After successful transfection with lentivirus-BMP2 gene, EPCs can secrete and express more BMP2 protein and show enhanced anti-apoptotic ability without obvious influence on the proliferation and migration capacity.

Objective To detect the in-vitro microdialysis recovery of nicotine by decrement method(i.e.retrodialysis) and to investigate its influence factors,thus to supply experimental evidence for the in-vivo microdialysis of nicotine.Methods The in-vitro recovery of nicotine was detected by concentration difference method(increment method and decrement method).The stability of recovery was observed.The effects of the pretreatment with perfusate,and the flow rates and concentrations of the perfusate on nicotine recovery were studied.Results Filtering and stirring treatment increased the recovery,but the time of ultrasound degassing showed no effect on the recovery.The recovery detected by increment method was as the same as that detected by decrement method.Nicotine recovery was independent of nicotine concentration in the external medium,showing good stability.Conclusion It is necessary to filter and degas the perfusate before microdialysis.Retrodialysis can be used for the determination of in-vivo nicotine recovery.

Objective:Human capillary lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) were isolated and cultured to assist further investigation of the function of lymphatic vessels generation during cancer metastasis. Methods:Human skin was digested by type I collagenase. Cells were isolated using magnetic beads which were marked by monoclonal antibodies against the extracellular domain of VEGFR-3, and purified by cloning col-umn. The morphology and structure of cells were observed by microscopy. Immunophenotype was identified by immunofluorescence. Cell growth curve was recorded to measure the effect of VEGF-C protein. Results:LECs exhibited the typical cobblestone morphology as monolayer growth pattem under microscopy. Enlarged nucleus and rich cytoplasm with bubbles were found under electromicroscopy. LECs specific markers inclu-ding VEGFR-3, LYVE-1, Podoplaninand D2-40 all were positive. VIII factor as specific marker of blood ves-sel endothelium cells (BVECs) was negative. VEGF-C induced a marked increase of cell proliferation. Con-clusions:Human dermal LECs could be harvested successfully using collagenase digestion, immunomagnet-ic beads sorting and clonic column purification.
