The synthesis of cellular and nuclear basic proteins in the first generation of the repopulated pachytene spermatocytes (RPS) after the withdrawal of gossypol treatment and the normal control pachytene spermatocyte (CPS) were studied by the incorporation of ~3H-arginine into proteins. After treatment with gossypol for various periods of time, the synthetic activity for cellular protein in the RPS was slightly inhibited. In comparison to CPS, the inhibitory rate ranged from 12% to 26% (gossypol treatment for 3 to 12 weeks, respectively). However, the synthetic activity for nuclear basic protein in the RPS was drastically reduced in comparison to that of the CPS. The reductive rate ranged from 46％ to 61％ in RPS (gossypol treatment for 3 to 12 weeks, respectively).Gel electrophoretic separation of the basic protein extracted from normal pachytene cell indicated that the major basic proteins were nucleosomal linker and core proteins, i. e., histone H_1, H_(2a), H_(2b), H_3 and H_4, and with a lesser amount of spermspecific BP and X_1 proteins. In the RPS, the synthesis of sperm-specific proteins(BP and X_1) and core histones (H_(2a) and H_4) reduced markedly.Finally, the effect of gossypol on the ratio change of nuclear basic protein to DNA in RPS and its relation to nucleosomal spacing and chromatin structure are discussed.

Objective This study was designed to evaluate the correlations between soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) and intedeukin-8 (IL-8) levels and the condition and prognosis of severe pneumonia. Methods A total of 67 patients with pneumonia were identified at the intensive care unit and the Respiratory Department of Zibo Central Hospital between April 2007 and March 2008. The patients were divided into two groups according to the severity of pneumonia: severe (Group A, n = 35) and non-severe (Group B, n = 32). Group A was also subdivided into two groups of patiems: patients with Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrorae(MODS) (Group A_1, n = 13) and pa-tients with severe pneumonia alone (Croup A_2, n= 22). Thirty healthy people whose age and sex matched with the patients were enrolled as a control group (Group C). Patients with cancer, who had undergone surgery within the past 1 month, connective tissue disease or acute conplications of diabetes, for example, were excluded from the study. The serum levels of s-Eselectin and IL-8 were measured by EI.ISA, and correlations with Acute physiol-ogy and chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE-Ⅱ)score, Oxygenation index(PaO_2/FiO_2), percentage of poly-morphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)levels were determined. The data were analyzed using t tests, one-way ANOVA, X~2 tests and linear correlation analysis using SAS 8.2 software. Results The sermn levels of sE-selectin and IL-8 in Croup A and Group B were significant higher than Group C (P < 0.05), and the levels in Group A were higher than those in Group B (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the levels of sE-selectin and IL-8 were higher in Group A_1 than in Group A_2(P < 0.001). The correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the levels of sE-selectin and IL-8 in patients with pneumonia (r = 0.781,P < 0.01) ; and both were positively correhted with APACHE-Ⅱ score, PMN% and hs-CRP (P < 0.01), and nega-tively correlated with PaO_2/FiO_2 (P < 0.01).Conclusions sE-selectin and IL-8 levels are important indices for the assessment of the severity of pneumonia in tetras of the condition and prognosis.
