Objective To investigate the effects of leptin on steroidogenesis of human luteinized granulosa cell in vitro. Methods Human luteinized granulosa cells were isolated from follicular fluid obtained during oocyte retrieval of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer program and were cultured with M199 medium plus various concentration of leptin (0, 10, 30, 100, 300 ng/ml),human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG, 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 IU/ml) and testosterone 100 μg/ml. For 2 days the media were collected for estradiol and progesterone measurements. Results Addition of leptin alone did not alter estradiol and progesterone production (P>0.05) by human luteinized granulosa cells. Leptin of 10~30 ng/ml concentrations caused a dose-dependent inhibition of estradiol production (P<0.05) while greater than 0.5 IU/ml of hMG were added. There was no effect of leptin on hMG -stimulated progesterone production (P>0.05). Conclusion Leptin can directly inhibit hMG-stimulated estradiol production by human luteinized granulosa cells in vitro, but has no effect on progesterone production. Leptin may play an important role in follicle development and luteinization.

BACKGROUND: Intestinal tract factors, especially intestinal ischemiareperfusion, can induce the injury of remote organ. Chinese herb, rhubarb,can clear oxygen free radical to promote the proliferation of beaker cell in intestinal mucous membrane, inhibit excessive multiplication of bacterium and endotoxin absorption in the intestinal tract, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, improve microcirculation and other ways to protect intestinal mucous membrane barrier, so as to prevent and treat pulmonary injury.OBJECTIVE: To observe the preventing and treating effect of rhubarb on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion-induced pulmonary injury and the effect of rhubarb on tumor necrosis factor and phospholipase A2 (PLA2).DESIGN: A randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Emergency, Urumqi General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from February to July 2003. Totally 80SD rats were selected and randomly divided into intestinal ischemia/reperfusion group (n=24), sham operation group (n=46), treatment group (n=24) and normal saline group (n=16).METHODS: In the intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group, rats were fasted before operation. They were anesthetized and given a median abdominal incision. Superior mesenteric artery was isolated and occluded by vascular clamp without wound, and then the incision was sutured; 45 minutes later,vascular clamp was taken out to recover blood supply. For the treatment group, modeling was the same as that in the intestinal ischemia/reperfusion group, 600 mg/kg suspension of rhubarb extract was gastrointestinally perfused into the rats 30 minutes before recovering blood supply. For the normal saline group, modeling was the same as that in the intestinal ischemia/reperfusion group; same dosage of normal saline was gastrointestinally perfused into the rats 30 minutes before recovering blood supply. For the sham operation group, occlusion of superior mesenteric artery was omitted. Taking pathological change and 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin pulmonary uptake index as the index to evaluate pulmonary injury, TNF content and serum of pulmonary tissue and PLA2 activity of lung and intestinal tissue of animals in each group were measured respectively at different time points.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: 125I labeled bovine bovine serum albumin uptake index, tumor necrosis factor content of blood and pulmonary tissue, and PLA2 activity of serum, lung and intestinal tissue RESULTS: ① Pathological and morphological change of pulmonary tissue: There was no obvious abnormality in the sham operation group; In the intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group, 6 hours later, pulmonary interstitial edema, neutrophile infiltration appeared and alveolar edema was also found, and there were a little haemorrhage and exudation of fibrin. Only mild pulmonary interstitial edema and a small quantity of neutrophiles were found in the treatment group. ② Ultramicro-pathological change of pulmonary tissue: There was no obvious change in the sham operation group. In the intestinal ishcemia/reperfusion group, 6 hours later, pulmonary capillary endothelial cells were swelled and neutrophilic granulocyte leaked into pulmonary stroma and alveolar space. There were no above changes in the treatment group. ③ Change of tumor necrosis factor of pulmonary tissue in the sham operation group or treatment group (reperfusion for 30 minutes) was significantly lower than that in the intestinal ischemiareperfusion group (reperfusion for 30 minutes) (0.235±0.114,1.374±0.550,16.315±4.587,P < 0.01). ④125I-BSA pulmonary uptake index in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the intestinal ischemiareperfusion group and normal saline group (P < 0.01), without significant difference in comparison with sham operation group (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Early application of rhubarb is helpful to prevent and treat lung injury following small intestine ischemic reperfusion, so as to inhibit tissue disease course to deve1op multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,which might be implemented through inhibiting the release of TNF and PLA2 and other media.

Objective To identify the susceptibile genes in a rat model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA),to determine whether sex affects disease onset and to define the mechanisms that impacts congenic genes on arthritis. Methods Arthritis-susceptible DA rats were compared with sex/age-matched congenic rats in which alleles were substituted with alleles from arthritis resistant PVG rats. Incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) was injected from the base of the tail. Arthritis was visually scored, the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of congenic genes and cytokine were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The differences between two groups were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. Results In oil-induced arthritis (OIA), male congenic R16 rats deviated profoundly from DA rats by decreased arthritis severity (5.9±3.8 vs 9.3±2.3, P<0.05 ), and markedly reduced lymph node mRNA levels for calsyntenin-3 (Clstn3) gene (0.7±0.4 vs 2.2±1.6, P<0.01 ) and interleukin (IL)-17 (1.4±2.2 vs 2.7±2.9, P<0.05) and IL-1β (1.5±2.1 vs 2.3±2.5,P<0.05) levels. Conclusion Rat Clstn3 gene regulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines of OIA in male rats. The effect of arthritis-susceptible gene Clstn3 is gender-specific.

Objective To summarize the lung HRCT findings of lung Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in children. Methods A total of 54 children with lung LCH pathologically proved in our institute from September 2006 to December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were subdivided into two subgroups, diffuse type (n=29) and localized type (n=25). In addition, 32 children with LCH but without pulmonary infiltration were selected as control group. HRCT findings of 54 LCH with lung involvement were reviewed and analyzed for distribution pattern. The age of onset, illness duration and pulmonary function were compared between the lung LCH group and the control group. The differences of HRCT findings in LCH patients between diffuse type and localized type were compared with χ2 test. The differences on the onset age, illness duration and pulmonary function between the LCH group with lung involvement and control group were compared with non-parametric test(Mann-Whitney U Test). The differences of pulmonary function between the LCH group with lung involvement and control group were compared with Fisher exact probability test. Results The signs of pulmonary LCH on HRCT included lobular hyperinflation (n=26), interlobular septa thickening (n=11), cystic lesions (n=11), ground?glass opacity (n=10), nodules (n=9), and centrilobular nodules (n=6). The signs presented in 21, 8, 7, 9, 4 and 6 cases in diffuse type group respectively and 5, 3, 4, 1, 5, 0 in localized type group. Among them, lobular hyperinflation, ground?glass opacity and centrilobular nodules were more prevalent in the diffuse group. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=14.77,2.01,0.55,4.84,0.06 and 3.91, P<0.05). The onset age of LCH group with lung involvement was younger than the other (Z=-2.40, P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the illness duration (Z=-1.46, P>0.05) and pulmonary function between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Lobular hyperinflation, ground glass opacity and centrilobular nodules are the most common manifestations in LCH patients with lung involvement and the distribution is mostly diffuse. Nodules, cystic lesions and interlobular septa thickening may exist. Several signs may coexist simultaneously. Younger children with LCH are more vulnerable to lung involvement.
