OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Wenyang Huoxue Lishui Recipe (WHLR) containing serum on the expression of cathepsin L (CatL) in puromycin aminonucleoside-induced injury of mouse glomerular podocytes.

METHODSMouse podocyte cells (MPCs) in vitro cultured were divided into the normal control group, the model group, the dexamethasone (DEX) group, 10% WHLR containing serum group, 20% WHLR containing serum group, the vehicle serum control group. MPCs in the normal control group were cultured at 37 degrees C culture solution for 24 h. 45 mg/L puromycin was acted on MPCs in the model group for 24 h. On the basis of puromycin intervention, 1 limol/L DEX was co-incubated in MPCs of the DEX group for 24 h; 10% or 20% WHLR containing serum was co-incubated in MPCs of the 10% WHLR containing serum group and 20% WHLR containing serum group for 24 h. The vehicle serum control group was also set up by incubating with WHLR containing serum alone for 24 h. The expression of CatL and its substrate Synaptopodin in podocytes were detected by cell immunofluorescence staining. FITC-conjugated phalloidin was used to stain F-actin. A cortical F-actin score index (CFS index) was designed to quantify the degree of cytoskeletal reorganization in cultured podocytes.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, the expression of synaptopodin significantly decreased and the expression of CatL significantly-increased in the model group. F-actin arranged in disorder, gradually forming pericellular F-actin ring. CFS index was obviously elevated (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the epression of synaptopodin increased, the expression of CatL decreased, and CFS index also decreased in the DEX group, 10% WHLR containing serum group, and 20% WHLR containing serum group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with the DEX group, the expression of synaptopodin decreased in 10% WHLR containing serum group, CFS index also decreased in 20% WHLR containing serum group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSWHLR could up-regulate the expression of synaptopodin, down-regulate the expression of CatL, and alleviate cytoskeletal reorganization of F-actin. It was helpful to stabilize the cytoskeleton of F-actin and improve the merging of podocytes.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of bromocriptine on the expression of Pit-1 in prolactinoma rats. METHODS: Firstly, to prepare prolactinoma model in rats. Adult Wistar rats were divided into two groups at random. The rats in control group were subscutaneously implanted with a blank implant. Rats in 17β-estradiol group were implanted with 17β-estradiol-containing implants. Secondly, rates in 17β-estradiol group were divided into two groups at random: model group and bromocriptine group. Water was administrated to rats in model group. Bromocriptine (0.225 mg · kg-1 · d-1) were orally administrated to rats in bromocriptine group, the rats in control group were orally administrated with water. After four weeks of treatment, all the animals were executed. Each pituitary gland was weighed. Serum prolactin (PRL) levels were measured by RIA method. Pit-1 mRNA levels in pituitaiy tissue were measured by RT-PCR method. RESULTS: The weights of pituitary gland and PRL levels in 17β-estradiol group were individually higher than those in control group (P<0.001). The expression levels of Pit-1 mRNA in bromocriptine group was obviously lower than that in model group (P≤0.001). CONCLUSION: Bromocriptine has potential preventive effect to estrogen-induced rat prolactinoma. The decrease of Pit-1 mRNA level may be involved in the mechanism of anti-prolactinoma effect of bromocriptine.

Cancer stem cells is a small fraction of cells exist in cancers and own the same characteristics of stem cells. It has recently been shown that cancer stem cells in some tumours contain lower reactive oxygen species(ROS) levels and enhanced ROS defence radioresistance. The DNA damage induced by p53 tumor suppressor protein is associated with self cancer stem cells. We have reviewed the biological characteristics including self- renewal, drug resistance, heterogeneity and so on. As to the genesis of the cancer stem cells,some researchers believe that they arise from normal adult stem cells, progenitor cells or mutation of somatic cells, while others consider that cancer stem cells are derived from cell fusion and so on.

?Objective: To estimate the effect of carboplatin activiated carbon particle delivery system (CP CH) in the treatment of oral carcinoma and its cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods: CP CH was prepared by absorption of carboplatin with activated carbon particles and injected into the submucosa around the tumors 72 h before operation in 6 patients with tongue or buccal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and metastasis in cervical lymph nodes,then extensive tumorectomy with neck dissection was conducted. The specimens of lymph nodes,primary carcinoma and blood were analyzed by microscope and plasma emitting spectrometry. Results:60 out of 70 (83.33%) lymph nodes obtained from the CP CH treated cases were found to be stained black by carboplatin.The carboplatin concentrations in lymph nodes and blood were (23.36 ?2.58) ?g/g and (1.76?0.32) ?g/ml respectively.Necrosis and degeneration were observed in SCC tissue.Conclusion:CH CP may be effective in the treatment of oral SCC with cervical lymph metastasis by providing high concertration and long lasting carboplatin in the lessions.

Aim To evaluate retrospectively the effect of genetic polymorphisms in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 on cyclosporine pharmacokinetics during the early period in renal transplant patients.Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was performed to genotype for CYP3A4*18B and CYP3A5*3.Cyclosporine whole blood levels were measured by fluorescence polarization immunoassay.Results The frequencies of CYP3A4*18B and CYP3A5*3 variant alleles were 0.235(95 CI:0.235~ 0.241)and 0.770(95 CI:0.767~0.773),respectively in 63 of renal transplantation patients, and these alleles exhibited incomplete linkage disequilibrium. The median (range) value of cyclosporine dose adjusted blood trough concentrations (C0/D) and C0 in CYP3A4*1/*1 genotype patients was higher than that in CYP3A4*1/*18B and CYP3A*18B/*18B patients, the same result was found in CYP3A5 expression (CYP3A5*3/*1 and CYP3A5*1/*3) (P
