Objective To investigate the changes of Bcl-2 and Bax expression in white matter of fetal rats after maternal endotoxin administration. Methods Pregnant rats were randomly divided into two groups: infection group and control group. The infection group was established by intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin in pregnant rats when gestation was 70% complete (15 days). The control group was treated with normal saline. The fetal rats were killed at 2, 4, 12, 24 and 72 hours after maternal endotoxin administration. The pathological changes in placenta and in fetal rat brain were determined by HE staining. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in fetal rat brains. Results The major pathological changes in fetal rats niter maternal endotoxin administration included neutrophil infiltration in the placenta, weak staining of white matter and focal infarction. After maternal endotoxin administration, the expression of Bcl-2 gradually decreased from 2 h and arrived at the valley at 12 h, while that of Bax gradually increased 2 h and reached a peak at 12 h. Between the endotoxin-gronp and the control group, the number of positive cells of Bcl-2 and Bax in brain of the fetal rat had significant difference at 4, 12, 24 and 72 hours (P< 0.01 ), and there was no significant difference at 2 h (P > 0.05). The ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 in the endotoxingroup was significantly higher than that in the control group at each time point (P<0.01).Conclusion Endotoxin can be used to eatablish intrauterine irfection models and the infection may cause damage to the white matter. Overexpression of Bcl-2 protects cell from apoptosis, but Bax may function as a cell death effector pro-tein. The ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 may play an important role for apoptosis in the lesion of the white matter.

[Objective] To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Buxin Huoluo Capsule (BHC) for coronary heart disease (CHD) and to explore its anti-lipid-peroxidation mechanism. [Methods] One hundred and seventy-five cases of CHD were treated with BHC and 121 cases with isosorbide dinitrate (ID) . Effects of BHC on angina pectoris, electrocardiograph, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and lipid peroxides (LPO) level were observed. [Results] In BHC group, the total effective rate in relieving angina pectoris was 88.0 % and that in improving electrocardiogram was 80.0 % , the difference being not significant as compared with ID group. As for the reduction of frequency of angina pectoris and the decrease of dosage of nitroglycerin, BHC were superior to ID. Furthermore, BHC decreased LPO level and increased SOD activity, the difference being significant (P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinicopathological significance of the cyclin E expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas (LSCCs). METHOD: The expression of cyclin E was detected by immunohistochemistry method in 50 cases of LSCCs, 20 cases of dysplastic squamous epithelium and 10 polyps of vocal cord. RESULT: The positive expression of cyclin E was localized in the nuclei of cells. The positive rate of cyclin E protein in LSCCs, dysplastic squamous epithelium and polyps of vocal cord was 10% (1/10), 15% (3/20), 6% (3/50), respectively. There's no significant difference between them. While the expression of cyclin E in laryngeal cancer stromal vascular endothelial cells was significantly related with clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). CONCLUSION In LSCCs, the expression of cyclin E has non-specificity, probably it has no participate the malignant transform events of laryngeal cancer cells. However, cyclin E is sensitive to vasculogenesis relatively; the positive expression of cyclin E may evaluate the malignant phase of LSCCs indirectly.
