Objective To explore the clinical value of the Luo’s fornix cup in laparoscopic total hysterectomy. Methods A total of 7 patients with indications for hysterectomy from October 2004 to February 2005 was given laparoscopic total hysterectomy. During the operation, the Luo’s fornix cup was used for the orientation and dilatation of the vaginal fornix. Then the anterior vaginal fornix was circlewise incised by using a harmonic hook to extract the Luo’s fornix cup. Afterwards the posterior fornix was opened to remove the uterus by way of the vagina. And finally the vaginal stump was closed. Results All the operations were successfully completed. The operation time was 90~250 min. With the use of the Luo’s fornix cup, the operator could easily identify the top of the vaginal fornix, and avoid the damage of important neighbouring organs. No injuries of bladder, ureter, and rectum were noted. Conclusions The Luo’s fornix cup is a rational accessory instrument in laparoscopic hysterectomy, being worthy of recommendation.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of different doses of rosuvastatin on expression of tissue factor(TF) in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which were induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL).Methods The human monocyte-macrophage cells were divided into seven groups:control group,ox-LDL group,poly-insine monophosphate group,different doses of rosuvastatin group(0.01 μmol/L,0.1 μmol/L,1 μmol/L,5 μmol/L).The expression of LOX-1 mRNA and TF mRNA was assayed by RT-PCR.The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine the protein concentration of TF.Results Effects of different doses of rosuvastatin on expressions of LOX-1mRNA,TF mRNA and TF in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells induced by ox-LDL:comparison among seven groups,the difference was statistically significant (F =91.334,58.833,103.552,P ＜0.05).Compared with control group,the expressions of LOX-1 mRNA,TF mRNA and TF were increased in the ox-LDL group[(3.25156 ± 0.15772) vs (1 ±0) ;(2.522451 ±0.138967) vs (1 ±0) ;(207.7233± 1.154701)ng/L vs (184.8467 ± 0.871799)ng/L],and they were in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the PolyⅠ group and the different doses of rosuvastatin group,the expressions of LOX-1 mRNA,TF mRNA and TF were in the ox-LDL group,and the different doses of rosuvastatin were decreased by dose-dependent manner.It was in a concentration dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).Different doses of rosuvastatin were compared between groups (between each group P ＜ 0.05),the difference between each two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions LOX-1 may be responsible for the expression of TF in Human monocyte-macrophage cells induced by ox-LDL.Rosuvastatin by dose dependent manner and by means of ox-LDL reduced monocyte-macrophage LOX-1 mRNA and TF mRNA expressions,which reduced expression of TF.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of rosuvastatin on expression of liver X receptor(LXR) and caveolin-1 in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL).Methods The human monocyte-macrophage cells were divided into six groups:control group,ox-LDL group,different doses of rosuvastatin group (0.01 μmol/L,0.1 μmol/L,1 μmol/L,5 μmol/L).The expression of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA were assayed by RT-PCR.Results LXR mRNA expression induced by ox-LDL in the control group and ox-LDL group were 1.00 ± 0.02,0.26 ± 0.02,and the difference was significant (t =56.39,P ＜ 0.001).Meanwhile,caveolin-1 mRNA expression in ox-LDL is (0.27 ± 0.01) fold than that in control (t =31.27,P ＜ 0.001).Meanwhile,There were significant differences among ox-LDL group and the different doses of rosuvastatin group in terms of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions (F =72.154,66.007,P ＜ 0.001).Along with the increase the doses of rosuvastatin,there was an increased trends of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Rosuvastatin and upregulated the LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions in a dose dependent manner.

Object To analyze the rDNA ITS sequences between wi ld plants and cultivars of Trapa L. and study the utility in p hylogenesis and identification of these two groups. Methods The ITS gene fragments were PCR amplified and sequenced. The rDNA ITS regions w ere analyzed by means of the software of Clustal and Mega 2.0. Result s The rDNA sequences of 234-236 bp ITS1, 220-221 bp ITS2 gene fragment , and 5.8 S rDNA for 164 bp evenly were obtained from ten populations of Trapa L. The intraspecific substitution varies from 0.22% to 2. 94%. The variable sites are 16 while informative sites are six. The phylogenet ic tree based on ITS data was set up by NJ method. Conclusion ITS sequence is a pretty good molecular marker which can identify wild plants of Trapa L. from their cultivars. Diversity of ITS in differen t populations is less at intraspecific level. It is infered that the plants of Trapa L. may be derived from the same population of one species .

Objective To observe the influence of bezafibrate on the apoptosis and expression of lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1(LOX-1) mediated by oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs).Methodes The apoptosis of HUVECs mediated by ox-LDL were evaluated by flow cytometry and the expression of LOX-1 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the control group,ox-LDL could increase apoptosis and the expression of LOX-1(P<0.05),and Bezafibrate could decrease the apoptosis and the expression of LOX-1 in a concentration -dependent manner(P<0.05).Preincubation of HUVECs with polyinosinic acid for 2 hours,the apoptosis and the expression of LOX-1 decreased(P<0.05).Conclusions Bezafibrate inhibits the apoptosis of HUVECs mediated by ox-LDL by reducing the expression of LOX-1,which may be part of the reasons for bezafibrate to prevent and treat atherosclerosis.

Objective To observe how ox-LDL impacts the mRNA expressions of MMP-9 and LOX-1 of human umbilical endothelial cells (HUEVC) and how LOX-1 acts as in inflamation course.Methods HUVEC were incubated in vitro.mRNA Expressions of MMP-9 and LOX-1 were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Compared to the control group(0.252±0.032;0.279 ±0.041 ),ox-LDL significantly increased the mRNA expressions of MMP-9 and LOX-1 (25 ng/group 0.486 ± 0.012,0.586 ± 0.02;50 ng/L group 0.668 ± 0.011,0.739 ± 0.014; 100 ng/group 0.817 ±0.030,0.872 ±0.003,P ＜0.01 ).Those expressions were increased by ox-LDL( 1.020 ±0.039)in a concentration-and time-dependent manner.MMP-9 mRNA(0.872 ±0.046) was reduced when LOX-1 was inhibited by polyinosinic acid ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions The mRNA expressions of MMP-9 and LOX-1 were induced by ox-LDL in HUVEC.Inhibition of LOX-1 may decrease the expression of MMP-9.Those data demonstrate that LOX-1 is involved in the process of ox-LDL-induced MMP-9 expression.

Objective To investigate the effects,mechanisms,and the optimum doses of Rosuvastatin and Losartan on expression of caveolin-1 in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which were induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL).Methods Human-monocyte cells were separated and changed into the human monocyte-macrophage cells.The model of amerosclerosis was set up.These cells were incubated in different doses of Rosuvastatin(0.1,1.0,5.0 μmol/L) and Losartan (10,50,100 μmol/L),and then cultured in combination of two drags (5.0 μmol/L + 100 μmol/L).Expression of caveolin-1 mRNA was determined with real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results In ox-LDL group,caveolin-1 mRNA was decreased sharply relative to control group [(0.2533 ±0.00973) vs (0.9410 ±0.03677)] in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜0.01).Compared to ox-LDL group,expressions of Caveolin-1 mRNA were increased gradually in different doses of Rosuvastatin alone and Losartan alone group [(0.5198 ± 0.04840),(0.6183 ± 0.06740),(0.7257 ± 0.03052) vs (0.2533 ± 0.00973) ; (0.3350 ± 0.04177),(0.4428 ± 0.03804),(0.6049 ± 0.02627) vs (0.2533 ± 0.00973)] in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.01) ; the summit expressions of caveolin-1 mRNA were emerged in using Rosuvastatin and Losartan together (F =59.119,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Rosuvastatin and Losartan may be responsible for the expression of caveolin-1 in human monocyte-macrophage cells that were induced by ox-LDL.The expressions were up-regulated with dose dependent manner of these drugs,and got the crest stage when using optimum doses of Rosuvastatin and Losartan together.
