Objective To study the effect of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on the suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) in the kidney of MRL/lpr mice and evaluate the protection of HCQ on lupus nephritis.Methods Twenty-six rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:the control group which was consisted of 6 mice; the MRL/lpr group which was consisted of 10 mice; and the HCQ group which was consisted of 10.24-hour urinary protein level and anti dsDNA levels were tested.The expressions of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 protein were determined by western blot.Analysis of variance was used to determine statistically significant differences between the two groups.A P value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of 24-hour urinary protein [(2 356.6±509.3) mg vs (440.3±90.1)mg] and anti ds-DNA (128.7±32.3 vs 14.9±1.4) were significantly increased in the MRL/lpr group,the expression levels of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 protein were increased.After treated with HCQ,the levels of 24-hour urinary protein [(70.8±11.1) mg vs (2 356.6±509.3) mg] and anti-dsDNA (111.8±330.1 vs 128.7±32.3)were significantly decreased,the expression level of SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 protein decreased significantly (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion HCQ can inhibit SOCS expression in the kidney of lupus mice,reduce proteinuria and delay progression of immune disorders and lupus nephritis.

Objective To study the effect of caveolin-1 on renal injury and the expression of tight junction proteins in MRL/lpr mice kidney.Methods The mice were divided into 4 groups:5 mice in the normal control group (BALB/c mice);the MRL/lpr lupus mice (n=18) were randomly divided into the MRL/lpr group in which 6 mice were included;the negative control group in which 6 mice were included;the caveolin1 transfection group in which 6 mice were included.The changes of urine protein,the levels of urea (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were detected.The expressions of claudin-5,occludin,ZO-1 and caveolin-1 protein were determined by western bloting.Analysis of variance was used to determine statistical significant differences between the two groups.A significance level of 0.05 was considered as signigicant.Results Compared with the control group,24 h urine protein [(2 894±437) mg,(412±72) mg],BUN [(8.7±1.5) mmol/L,(6.9±0.4) mmol/L],Cr [(106±22) μmol/L,(85±4) μmol/L] were significantly increased,level of caveolin-1 protein increased (265±17,61±6),the level of occludin (114±12,190±12),claudin-5 (60±5,80±6) and ZO-1 (98±11,206±15) protein decreased in the MRL/lpr group (P＜0.05).After caveolin-1 transfection,the levels of urinary protein [(1 253±249) mg,(2 894±437) mg],BUN [(6.5±1.3) mmol/L,(8.7±1.5) mmol/L],Cr [(78±17) μmol/L,(106±22)μmol/L] were significantly decreased,and the levels of occludin (218±16,114±12),claudin-5 (87±6,60±5)ZO-1 (313±17,98±11) were increased (P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of caveolin-1 protein in the renal tissues of lupus nephritis increases.Caveolin-1 can reduce the expression of tight junction proteins and contribute to progres-sion of lupus nephritis.

Objective To investigate the effects of colon hydrotherapy on lowering body temperature and serum enzymes as well as inflammatory cytokines of dogs with heat stroke.Methods 14 dogs were randomly devided into 2 groups,7 for each,as colon hydrotherapy group and conventional therapy group.After the reproduction of heat stroke model was finished(core temperature reached 43℃,maintaing for 10min),cooling therapy was commenced on dogs in circumstance with temperature at 23℃ and 65% of humidity.Conventional therapy group was lowered temperature by ice bags placed on conducting arteries,and the colon hydrotherapy group was by colon way therapeutic machine,the temperature of therapeutic liquid was maintained between 37℃~38℃.Cooling was finished while temperature in dogs reduced to 38℃.The periods of time for lowering body temperature in both groups were compared.Alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and creatine kinase(CK)were determined before heat stroke(0h),and 6h,24h and 48h after heat stroke.Interleukin-1?(IL-1?),Interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF-?)were determined by radioimmunity assay.Results Body temperature lowering time in dogs with colon hydrotherapy were 92.9?9.5min,which was significantly shorter than that of conventional therapy group(123.4?11.6min,P0.05).IL-1? in colon hydrotherapy group at 6h,24h and 48h after treatment were significantly lower than those in conventional therapy group(P

Objective To investigate the correlation between Gab2 expression and platinum drugs chemotherapy resistance by detecting the expression of Gab2 in ovarian cancer.Methods Immunohistochemical and Western blotting techniques were used to detect the expression of Gab2 in 107 specimens of serous ovarian tumor tissue and 12 specimens of normal ovarian tissues resected during bladder cancer radical operation in the department of gynaecology of our hospital from January 2011 to June 2015.The correlation between Gab2 expression with clinical stage and effect of combined chemotherapy based on platinum drugs was analyzed.Results The Gab2 expression level in ovarian cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal ovarian tissue,moreover had a relation with the FIGO clinical stage,the expression level of Gab2 increased with the increase of clinical stage,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);61 cases were sensitive to chemotherapy,46 cases were resistant to chemotherapy,the Gab2 expression level in the patients with chemotherapy resistance was significantly higher than that in the patients with chemotherapy sensitivity,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Gab2 may become one of effective indexes for predicting platinum drugs chemotherapy sensitivity.

Objective To investigate the effect of siRNA targeted against Bcl-xl on cell proliferation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the effect on expres-ion of apoptosis relevant factors Bcl-xl,Bax,Caspase-3.Methods Human RA synovial cells were cultured and passed by tissue block collagenase digestion method.The siRNA plasmid targeting Bcl-xl gene was constructed by Bcl-xl cDNA sequence provided by gene banks,while single missense sequences were used as negative controls.LipofectamineTM 2000 was used to transfect synovial cells.The effect of Bcl-xl silencing on proliferation of synovial cells was evaluated by MTT at 24,48,72 hours after transfection.The expressions of Bcl-xl,Bax,Caspase-3 protein,synovial apoptosisrelated factors were determined by Western blotting after transfected at different time points.The average of multiple-sample average was analyzed by single-factor x2 test or LSD-t and Tamhane's T2 test was used for twotwo comparison.Results MTT result s showed that RNA interference that specifically silent Bcl-xl could obviously suppress the proliferation of sliding film cells,which was most eveident at 48 hours.This inhibition was gradually weakened with prolonged time,but when compared was the control group,differences was significant (P＜0.05).Western blotting results displayed that when compared to the control group,Bcl-xl protein expression obviously declined after transfection P＜0.01,which was the least at 48 h time point.Bax,Caspase3 protein expression were obviously increased when compared to the coutrol group.Conclusion The expression of Bcl-xl,a RA synovial cell anti-apoptotic factor,is significantly reduced by specific RNA interference silencing Bcl-xl,which may play an important role in inhibiting the excessive proliferation of synovial cells.

Objective To explore the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of primary gastric malignant (lymphoma)(PGML).Methods The diagnosis and treatment data of 21 cases of PGML admitted in our(hospital) during 8 years was retrospectively analyzed.The diagnostic methods included barium meal(examination),gastroscopy,B type ultrasonography,and CT scan.All patients underwent operative treatment and most of the patients received adjuvant chemotherapy.Results Upper abdominal pain,digestive tract bleeding,emaciation and abdominal mass were common clinical manifestations of PGML.The resectabilty rate of PGML was 90.5% while the 5-year survival rate was 57.1%.Conclusions The key to a satisfactory prognosis was early diagnosis,radical curative operation and combined treatment.
