1.AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON ALCOHOL-INDUCED GOLDEN HAMSTER NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS AND EYE ABNORMALITIES
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1954;0(02):-
Objective To observe the morphological changes in alcohol-induced pregnanted golden hamster neural tube defects and eye abnormalities, and to study quantitatively the alterations of apoptosis during teratogenesis. Methods The pregnanted golden hamsters were killed 4,8,16,24, 48 and 72 hours after teratogenic dose alcohol exposure respectively, and both embryos and fetuses were obtained. The LM, SEM and stereomicroscope were used to observe the histological alterations during the teratogenesis of the neural tube and the eye. With the TUNEL and TEM methods, the apoptosis were studied qualitatively. Results 1^The closure of the golden hamster neural tube and the formation of the optic cup were significantly retardation in the experimental groups. 2^After 8h of maternal alcohol exposure, the apoptosis of neural epithelial cells increased apparently, especially in the prosencephalon and neural crest.At either 16h or 24h after treatment, the index of apoptosis was also higher than that in the control groups, and the apoptosis chiefly located in the neural crest and optic grooves.After 48h, this index gradually declined to the level of control groups.Conclusion Alcohol can delay the closure of the golden hamster neural tube and the formation of the optic cup. Meanwhile it can cause excessive apoptosis on these structures.These alterations are probably partially involved in the mechanism of alcohol-induced neural tube defects and eye abnormalities.

Objective The androgen signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of early follicular growth and follicular atresia, and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is an important factor in regulating the level of local ovarian androgen.This study was to investigate the effects of androgen on the expression of SHBG in ovarian granulosa cells.Methods Human ovarian granule cancer cells were cultured with 0 nmol/L dihydrotestosterone (DHT), 500 nmol/L DHT, or 500 nmol/L DHT + 60 μmol/L Flutamide.The expression of SHBG was detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining.Hyperandrogenism (HA) was induced in 6 SD rats by subcutaneous injection of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and another 6 rats were included in the vehicle control group.At 35 days after modeling, all the rats were sacrificed for measurement of the level of SHBG in the blood from the inferior caval vein by ELISA, the expression of SHBG in the ovarian granulosa cells by immunohistochemistry, and expressions of androgen receptor (AR) and SHBG in the liver by Western blot.Results At 24 hours after modeling, the expression of AR was significantly upregulated in the 300, 400, and 500 nmol/L DHT groups as compared with the 0 nmol/L DHT group (1.06±0.02, 1.61±0.11, and 2.38±0.14 vs 1.06±0.03, P<0.05), and so was that of SHBG, increasing in a concentration-dependent manner, most significantly at 500 nmol/L (P<0.01).Both the expressions of AR and SHBG proteins remarkably elevated in the 500 nmol/L DHT group in comparison with the 0 nmol/L DHT group (P<0.01), but markedly downregulated as compared with the 500 nmol/L DHT + 60 μmol/L Flutamide group (P<0.05).Immunofluorescence staining showed that DHT promoted while the addition of Flutamide inhibited the expressions of AR and SHBG.Immunohistochemical staining of the ovarian tissue revealed a high level of SHBG in the HA rats.Compared with the control group, the HA animals exhibited a significantly decreased expression of serum SHBG (4.80±0.35 vs 2.41±0.14, P<0.01) and that in the liver, but a markedly increased level of the AR protein (P<0.05).Conclusion Activation of the androgen signaling pathway by DHT can promote the expression of SHBG in rat ovarian granulosa cells.

The ras oncogene product ras p21, which is structurally homologous to G protein, participates in the regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation. The histopathology of psoriasis is characterized by hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate, by dot blot and Dig DNA labeling in situ hybridization techniques, the expression of c Ha ras proto oncogene in normal skin and active plaque psoriatic lesions. The results showed: (1) dot blot revealed one fold elevation of c Ha ras gene transcript levels in psoriatic lesions compared with normal controls. (2) In normal epidermis, only a few basal cells expressed ras gene, however, the ras gene was expressed throughout all layers of epidermis of active psoriatic lesions except horny layer and predominantly in prickle cells. Our results suggest that overexpression of c Ha ras oncogene and changes of expression pattern might be central to the pathogenesis of psoriatic epidermal hyperplasia and abnormal pattern of cellular differentiation.

Objective To study the mechanism of anti-keratin autoantibodies (AK auto Ab) inhibiting the keratinocytes proliferation. Methods Keratinocytes from normal human skin and squamous cell carcinoma were cultured, then treated with AK auto Ab in different doses. MTT and immunohistochemical technologies were applied to test the proteins related to proliferation and apoptosis. Results AK could inhibit the proliferation of these two kinds of cells with a dose related effect. AK auto Ab could promote the expression of p53,c-myc, and inhibited the expression of PCNA. Conclusions The results indicate that AK auto Ab plays an important role in the proliferation of keratinocytes both from normal skin and from SCC.

Objective To summarize the experience of HIV/AIDS preventive interventions among out-of-school teenagers and provide scientific evidence for the development of large-scale interventions in the future. Method Using both non-random snowball and cluster sampling approach,a total of 5,000 participants were selected from 7 provinces (9 provincial sites ) and a cross-sectional survey was conducted by employing a semi-open-ended self-administrative interview schedule to evaluate their behavioral change before and after the interventions. Results The rate of HIV related knowledge and condom use increased significantly among the participants. For instance,the rate of condom use when having sex at the last time increased by 34.86%,i.e. from 27.67% at the baseline to 59.88% after the intervention (?2=34,86,P
