Objective To investigate and analyze the relationship of the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and carotid artery atherosclerosis with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods Fifty-nine patients with ACI were assigned as experimental group and thirty healthy people as control group. The serum level of hs-CRP was measured, and the carotid plaques and the changes of carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) were examined by color Doppler ultrasonography.Then the relationship between the serum level of hs-CRP and the severity of disease was analyzed.Results The serum level of hs-CRP was higher in ACI group than in control group [(5.96± 1.52)mg/L vs. (1.78±1.02) mg/L, t=15.383, P＜0.01]. The detection rates of carotid plaques and the increased carotid IMT were higher in ACI group than in control group [77.97% vs. 36.67%, x2 =12.92, P＜0.01; (1.18±0.17) mm vs. (1.02±0.15) mm, t=4.544, P＜0.05]. The hs-CRP levels were higher in the severe cases [(15.68±1.45) mg/L] than in moderate cases [(4.16±1.39)mg/L] and mild cases [(1.88±0.34) mg/L, t=37. 217, 25. 243, both P＜0.01]. Conclusions The elevated levels of hs-CRP have overt clinical significances for the atherothrombotic cerebral infarction. Early determination of hs-CRP is helpful to evaluate patient's condition and prognosis.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of urine transferrin testing in the diagnosis of early pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome (PIH).Methods Sixty-eight PIH patients (PIH group) who received treatment from January 2012 to October 2013 were enrolled in this study.Mild PIH was 21 patients,midrange PIH was 24 patients and severe PIH was 23 patients.Meanwhile,68 cases of healthy person were selected as control group.The level of urine transferrin,urea and creatinine were compared between two groups.Results The level of urine transferrin,urea and creatinine in PIH group were significantly higher than those in control group[(3.01 ± 1.82) mg/L vs.(1.29 ± 0.88) mg/L,(13.12 ± 5.51) mmol/L vs.(6.23 ± 3.68) mmol/L,(135.5 ± 62.3) μ mol/L vs.(85.1 ± 38.2) μ mol/L] (P ＜ 0.05).The sensitivity of urine transferrin,urea and creatinine in mild PIH was 76.19％,61.90％,57.14％.In midrange PIH was 75.00％,79.17％,75.00％.In severe PIH was 78.26％,86.96％,73.91％.The specificity of urine transferrin,urea and creatinine was 80.65％,56.45％,58.06％.The sensitivity of different degree of PIH was exceeded 75.00％.The sensitivity of urine transferrin in mild PIH was significantly higher than urea and creatinine (P ＜ 0.05).But the sensitivity of urine transferrin in midrange PIH and severe PIH had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The specificity of urine transferrin was significantly higher than urea and creatinine (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Urine transferrin is a good index in diagnosis of early PIH,which can reflect the early injury degree of the renal tubular and glomerular.It has active and important significance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PIH.

Objective: To observe the synergistic inhibitory effect of angiostatin gene combined with antisense hypoxia inducible factor-1? (aHIF-1?) gene on implanted human ovarian carcinoma in nude mice. Methods: BALB/C nude mice were subcutaneously transplanted with SKOV3 tumor cells and the tumors were allowed to grow till the diameter reached 0.4 cm, then the mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: PcDNA3 control group, PcDNA3-Angiostatin group, PcDNA3B-aHIF-1? group and PcDNA3-Angiostatin+PcDNA3B-aHIF-1? group; plamids PcDNA3, PcDNA3-Angiostatin, PcDNA3B-aHIF-1? and PcDNA3-Angiostatin+PcDNA3B-aHIF-1? were injected intra-tumorally in the above groups, respectively. The tumor samples were harvested on the 7 th day after gene transfer. Angiostatin, HIF-1?, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvessel density (MVD) of tumors were determined by immunohistochemical methods. Tumor cell apoptosis was determined with TUNEL staining. Results:The growth of tumors of PcDNA3-Angiostatin+PcDNA3B-aHIF-1? group was significantly inhibited, with local low expression of HIF-1? and VEGF (lower than those of the other 3 groups). MVD in combined transfection group(13.6?2.3) was lower than that of Angiostain group (24.5?2.7); the apoptosis index in combined transfection group (5.32?0.62)was higher than those of Angiostatin group(2.89?0.45), aHIF-1? group(2.98?0.51)and contrl group(1.56?0.41). Conclusion: Our results suggest a synergestic effect between Angiostain gene and aHIF-1? gene in inhibiting implanted human ovarian tumors in nude mice, which may contribute to drug resistance in antiangiogenic therapy of tumors.

Objective:To investigate the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) like behavior of offspring mice induced by stress during pregnancy and its mechanism.Methods:Chronic unpredictable stress was applied to ICR pregnant mice in different gestational periods. The offspring mice were randomly selected and the behavior changes of each group were observed in open field experiment (CG: control group; SG1: cums stress stimulation from 8 to 14 days of gestation; SG2: cums stress stimulation from 15 days of gestation to childbirth). The plasma concentrations of GABA, its metabolic enzymes and dopamine were detected by ELISA.Results:The results of open field experiment showed that the total distance, the time of stay in central area, the speed in central area, and the speed in surrounding area in SG1 group, SG2 group and CG group were statistically significant ( F=8.30, 5.01, 8.05, 7.15, all P<0.05). The total distances of SG1 group and SG2 group were significantly longer than that of CG group ((5 221.07±469.95)mm, (4 825.63±545.49)mm, (3 781.17±111.34)mm, both P<0.05).The times of stay in central area of SG1 and SG2 groups were shorter than that in CG group ((5.95±3.32)s, (8.59±3.42)s, (11.10±3.61)s, all P<0.05). The speeds in central area of SG1 and SG2 groups were faster than that of CG group ((30.93±5.79)mm/s, (32.48±9.06)mm/s, (20.57±5.07)mm/s, all P<0.05).The speed in surrounding area in SG1 group was faster than that in CG group ((16.91±1.64)mm/s), (12.42±3.77)mm/s, P<0.05). ELISA results showed that there were significant differences in mice plasma GABA, GAD65, GAD67 and DA among CG group, SG1 group and SG2 group ( F=16.52, 6.42, 11.04, 7.26, all P<0.05).The plasma concentrations of GABA in SG1 group and SG2 group were lower than that in CG group ((3.70±0.80)μmol/L, (4.40±0.80)μmol/L, (6.06±1.01)μmol/L, all P<0.05).The plasma concentrations of GAD65 ((5.36±0.75)μg/L, (6.99±1.01)μg/L, P<0.05)and GAD67((10.52±1.09)μg/L, (9.84±1.35)μg/L, (12.83±1.67)μg/L, P<0.05)in SG1 group were lower than those in CG group. The plasma DA concentration in SG1 group ((82.81±8.59)ng/L) was higher than that in CG group ((69.43±9.42)ng/L, P<0.05) and SG2 group ((66.36±10.77)ng/L, P<0.05). Conclusion:Prenatal stress can induce ADHD-like behavioural phenotypes in offspring mice, which may be related to the influence of plasma GABA metabolism and DA concentration.

Gut microbial metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Decreased insulin sensitivity is a significant etiological factor of T2DM. Adipocytes, myocytes, and hepatocytes are the three major target cells for insulin. This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of TMAO on the insulin sensitivity of these target cells. Research results indicate that in different ages of db/db diabetic mice, plasma TMAO levels were increased. TMAO significantly inhibits the insulin signaling pathways in these three major insulin target cells, reduces glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and L6 myocytes and downregulates genes related to gluconeogenesis in primary mouse hepatocytes. Furthermore, in mice with normal insulin sensitivity, elevating plasma TMAO levels to those seen in db/db mice using a minipump results in impaired glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinemia. All animal experiments were carried out with approval of the Experimental Animal Welfare Ethics Committee of the Institute of Materia Medica (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College). Mechanistic studies suggest that TMAO exposure increases the levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins in these three major insulin target cells. In summary, TMAO directly attenuates insulin sensitivity in insulin target cells, and its mechanism of action may involve enhancing endoplasmic reticulum stress.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Jiuqiang Naoliqing(JNQ) on the TXA2 and PGI2 level in spontaneous hypertension rat (SHR) plasma.MethodsThe plasma was separated after the SHR and Wistar rats were treated with JNQ at the dose of 0.133g/kg,0.265g/kg,0.530g/kg and 1% carboxymethyl cellulose respectively for 5 weeks. The level of TXB2 and 6 keto PGF1α ,stable metabolin of TXA2 and PGI 2,in SHR plasma was tested by radioimmunoassay.ResultsThe level of TXB2 and the ratio of TXB2/6 keto PGF1α (T/P) in SHR plasma increased significantly(P<0.01),and there was no significant difference in the concentration of 6 keto PGF1α between Wistar rats and SHR plasma(P>0.05). JNQ could increase the generation of 6 keto PGF1α and decrease the level of TXB2 and T/P in SHR plasma after treated with different dosages for 5 weeks.ConclusionJNQ may improve the balance between TXA2 and PGI2 in SHR plasma.
