Aim To explore the protective role of schisandrin B (SchB)against HK-2 damage induced by Cisplatin and the probable mechanism.Methods Cultivated HK-2 was interacted by Cisplatin and SchB with different concentrations.Invert microscope showed cellular form change and Flow Cyto Meter told apopto-sis.Combined with test result on the change of L-DH, MDA and LPO,probable protective effect of SchB on HK-2 was studied and analyzed.Result Cisplatin in-hibited cells′growth and induced apoptosis.20 μmol · L-1 SchB significantly reduced apoptosis of Cispla-tin-induced HK-2,and offered the best protection. SchB could reduce MDA,LPO,LDH significantly in-creased by cisplatin.Conclusion SchB can be an ef-fective inhibition agent of Cisplatin-induced renal tubu-lar epithelial cell apoptosis (HK-2 ).The mechanism can be the inhibition of Cisplatin-induced oxidative stress by antioxidant effect.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of breast conserving surgery ( BCS) in patients with early breast cancer after local lumpectomy . Methods Clinical data of 26 patients who previously had received local lumpectomy from January 2009 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed .All the patients were diagnosed as solitary invasive ductal carcinoma with preoperative staging of T1N0M0.The interval from lumpectomy to BCS was 6-24 days (mean, 10 days) and the maximum diameter of tumors before first operation was 1-2 cm (mean, 1.6 cm).The shortest distance between nipple and operative incision was 2-6 cm (mean, 4.5 cm). Results The operations were successfully completed in all 26 patients, 15 of which received sentinel lymph node biopsy and 11 of which received axillary lymph node dissection .The hospital stay was 3-5 days with stage-Ⅰhealing of incision .All patients received whole breast radiation therapy after BCS .There was no local recurrence or distant metastasis during 2 -5 year ’ s follow-up (median, 32 months).All the patients were satisfied with the shape of breast and the quality of life . Conclusion For those patients with early breast cancer who have received local lumpectomy , meet the requirement of CBS , and have the willing of breast conserving , BCS is an ideal choice after rigid application of surgical indications .

Objective To study the changes of the urinary ?-1 microglobulin and urinary immunoglobulin G(IgG) and to investigate the relationship between these two proteins and the allograft function after renal transplantation.Methods Twenty-nine renal transplant recipients were included in the study.Urinary ?-1 microglobulin and urinary IgG were analyzed at d 1,7,14,21,28 after renal transplantation.The allograft function was evaluated based on the clinical manifestations,laboratory and imaging examinations,and the relationship between urinary ?-1 microglobulin,IgG and serum cretinine(SCr) were analysed. Results Urinary ?-1 microglobulin and urinary IgG correlated with SCr after renal transplantation in one month.Of all the 29 cases,14 experienced allograft function recovery(group A),and 15 failed(group B).Urinary ?-1 microglobulin decreased significantly in group A(P

Objective To examine the differentially expressed invasion-related genes in two anchorage-independent uterine cervical carcinoma cell lines derived from the same patient using a cDNA array. Methods Two human uterine cervical carcinoma subclonal cell lines CS03 and CS07 derived from a single donor line CS1213 were established by limited dilution procedure. The two cDNA samples retro-transcribed from total RNA derived from CS03 and CS07 cells were screened by a cDNA microarray carrying 234 human cell-cycle related genes and 1011 human signal transduction and membrane receptor -associated genes, scanned with a ScanArray 3000 laser scanner. Results The cDNA microarray analysis showed that 12 genes in CS03 were up-regulated compared to CS07, and 24 genes in CS07 were up-regulated. The function of a number of differentially expressed genes was consistently associated with cell-cycle, cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, signal transduction and tumor metastasis, including p34cdc2, TSC22, plasminogen activator inhibitor I (PAI-1)and desmosome associated protein(Pinin). Conclusion Multiple genes are differentially expressed in uterine cervical carcinoma cell lines even came from the same patient. It is suggested that these genes are involved in the different phenotypic characteristics and development of cervical carcinoma.

Objective To study the predictive value of serum hyaluronic acid (HA) levels for morphological progression of osteoarthritis (OA).Methods Seventy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly and equally divided into the OA group and the normal control group.OA was induced by injecting 0.5 ml of 2％ papain into the left knee joints and the same volume of sterile saline solution was injected Into right knee joints in control group.The serum HA levels were detected at 1,2,4,6,8,10 and 12 weeks after injection.Then magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathohistological changes were observed.T test was used for the analysis of measurment.Resuts Compared with the control group,degeneration changes were found in the OA group,such as thinner articular cartilage,fibrillation and destroyed cartilage matrix,and inflammation,proliferation and degeneration of the synovial tissue.All these changes were much worse with prolonged observation time.The serum HA levels were increased [12 week:(657±132) ng/ml,vs (166±8) ng/ml],which correlate with structural damage.Conclusion Serum HA levels had a predictive value for further development of OA.

Purpose To indicate the expression of nattokinase (NK) in Pichia pastoris , an emulsion was prepared with the purified NK to prepare polyclonal antibody. In order to establish sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to assay NK in organism, furthermore to lay the foundation for researching in vivo metabolism and function of NK. Methods The NK gene was cloned into a Pichia pastoris expression vector pHBM905A to construct the recombinant plasmid pPRONK.The recipient cell of Pichia pastoris GS115 was transformed with pPRONK which had been cut by restriction enzyme Sal I , under the induction of methanol. The expressed production is purified by salting out and ultrafiltration membrane. An emulsion was prepared with the purified NK and injected into rabbits to prepare polyclonal antibody. Results NK was expressed and identified by SDS-PAGE.The molecular mass of expressed production is about 27 kD.The fibrin plate assay indicated that the NK protein can cleavage fibrin effectively. ELISA analysis indicated that the polyclonal antibody titer is about 1:8 000. Western blot demonstrated that there was a special strap nearby 27 kD. Conclusion NK was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris , the production can cleavage fibrin effectively and it had great immunogenicity.

Objective The impact of complement Clq on inflammation in beta amyloidstimulated microglia.Methods After the cultured BV-2 microglial cells were treated with 100mg/L beta-amyloid fibers (fAβs),some of them were given C1q,others wcrc given C1q and C1qA.Then,interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) in the supernatant and cell lysate were determined by the sandwich ELISA.Results A significant increase in TNF-α started at giving 50 nmol/L C1q after 100 mg/L fAβs (F =1177.27,P＜ 0.05),while the release of TNF-α was significantly suppressed by using 50 nmol/L C1qA on basis of this(P＜0.05).The level of IL-6 showed no above change.Conclusions C1q may enhance the inflammation of Aβ-induced BV-2 microglia cells and TNF-α may play important role in this effect.
