Objective To investigate the serum levels of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in uremic patients with different dialysis ages.Methods Ninety-two maintenance haemodialysis patients were divided into short-term group(from three months to 2 years,n =32),median-term group(from 2 to 5 years,n =37) and longterm group(more than 5 years,n =23) according to different dialysis ages.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the serum levels of HSP70 before and after haemodialysis in each group.Results The semm levels of HSP70 had significant difference both in median-term group and long-term group before and after haemodialysis(median-term group:(54.94 + 39.21) μg/L vs (69.72 + 39.90) μg/L,t =-2.068,P =0.047 ;long-term group:(46.17 +34.63) μg/L vs (74.07 ±41.11) μg/L,t =-2.814,P =0.010).But there was no statistics difference on the serum levels of HSP70 before and after haemodialysis in the short-term group((70.42 ±38.30) μg/L vs (62.89 ±43.01) μg/L,t =0.870,P =0.390).Conclnsion Haemodialysis patients with more stress protection ability are likely to obtain long term survival.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol preconditioning on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) in HEPG2 cells.Methods HEPG2 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table:control group (group C),propofol group (group P),H/R group and H/R + propofol preconditioning group (group PP).In group C,the cells were cultured routinely for 42 h.In group H/R,after being cultured routinely for 6 h,the cells were exposed to 1％ O2 + 5％ CO2 + 94％ N2 for 12 h followed by 12 h reoxygenation.In group PP,the cells were cultured for 6 h in the culture medium containing propofol 10 μmol/L (final concentration),and then H/R was induced.The cell viability was detected by MTT assay.The expression of immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein (BIP),C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and activated caspase-3 was determined by Western blot.The expression of BIP,CHOP and caspase-3 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability was significantly decreased,and the expression of BIP,CHOP and activated caspase-3 protein and mRNA was up-regnlated in H/R and PP groups,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in group P.Compared with group H/R,the cell viability was significantly increased,and the expression of BIP,CHOP and activated caspase-3 protein and mRNA was down-regulated in PP group.Conclusion Propofol preconditioning can promote the cell proliferation and attenuate H/R injury to HEPG2 cells through inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress.

AIM: To establish a quality control method of analysing Lajiao Fengshi Plaster qualitatively and quantitatively. METHODS: Capsaicin was identificated by TLC and menthol,borneol were determinated by GC Lajiao Fengshi Plaster,silica gel as plate,ligarine(60～90?C)-acetoacetate(3(∶)2) as mobile phase,0.5% solution of dichloroquinonechlorimide R in methanol R.as chromogenic agent to identificate capsaicin.The internal standard of GC,naphthalene was employed.10% PEG-20M as the stationary phase,column temperature at 150(?C,) and FID as the detector to determine methol and borneol. RESULTS: There were the same spot corresponding in colour and position sample and reference capsaicin,but negative control had not such colour spot in the same plate of TLC.Menthol,borneol and naphthalene had been separated well under the chromatographic condition.The average recovery of menthol,borneol were 97.44%(RSD=0.93%),98.09%(RSD=1.26%),respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is sensitive,accurate and reproducible and can be used to control the quality of Lajiao Fengshi Plaster.

Objective To investigate the suppressing effect of cadmium chloride on proliferation of hepatocarcinoma,and to discuss the mechanism for the difference of cadmium chloride between normal and tumor tissue.Methods Hepatocarcinoma cell lines HepG-2 and SMMC-7721 were treated with 5,10,25 and 50 ?mol?L-1 cadmium chloride for 6 h,MTT essay was used to measure the inhibition of proliferation of HepG-2 and SMMC-7721 cells;Instantaneously,HepG-2 and SMMC-7721 cells were treated with 25 ?mol?L-1 cadmium chloride for different time,the inhibition of proliferation was also measured.Athymic mice were used to establish the human hepatocarcinoma animal models,the survival day and tumor volume 8 weeks after drug administration were detected;the metallothionein(MT) levels in normal and tumor tissues were determined by immunohistochemimal staining.Results Compared with control group,5,10,25 and 50 ?mol?L1 cadmium chloride inhibited the proliferation of hepatocarcinoma cell lines(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol on the endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis during focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Eighty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 240-280 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =20 each):shame operation group (group S) ; focal cerebral I/R group (group FCIR); propofol pretreatment group (group P); intralipid pretreatment group (group Ⅰ).Focal cerebral I/R was induced by 4 h middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by reperfusion.Propofol was infused at a rate of 12 mg· kg-1 · h-1 starting from 30 min before ischemia until 15 min of ischemia in group P,while intralipid was given instead of propofol in group I.Neurological deficit scores (NDSs) were measured at 6 h of reperfusion in 10 rats chosen from each group and the rats were then sacrificed.Their left brains were removed for determination of brain water content.The left 10 rats were sacrificed and their brains were immediately removed for determination of the expression of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP),Bcl-2,and activated caspase-3 in the left hippocampi by Western blot.Results Compared with group S,NDSs and brain water content were significantly increased,the expression of CHOP and activated caspase-3 was up-regulated,and the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated in group FCIR,NDSs was increased in group P (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group FCIR,NDSs and brain water content were significantly decreased,the expression of CHOP and activated caspase-3 was down-regulated,and the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated in group P,and no significant change was found in each parameter in group Ⅰ (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Propofol can reduce focal cerebral I/R injury through inhibition of the endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis in rats.

This study aims to learn drug resistance situation of four first-line anti TB drugs among 251 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Qinghai and to explore their relationships with genotypes by Spoligotyping,so as to provide basis for effective prevention of tuberculosis.Isolates of 251 M.tuberculosis were tested susceptibilities of four first-line drugs including isoniazid (INH),rifampicin (RFP),streptomycin(SM) and ethambutol (EMB) by using conventional proportion method and genotyped by Spoligotyping.Relationship between drug resistance and genotypes was analyzed statistically.Results showed the total drug resistance rate was 56.2％ (141/251) among 251 M.tuberculosis isolates.Resistance rates of four first-line drugs were 43.0％ (108/251) for INH,37.1％ (93/251) for RFP,39.0％ (98/251) for SM,27.9％ (70/251) for EMB respectively.Rate of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) was 31.5％ (79/251).All 251 isolates of M.tuberculosis were typed by spoligotyping.The 185 (73.7 ％) were Beijing genotypes and 66 (26.3.％) were non-Beijing genotypes,and no statistical association was found with drug resistance.This paper concludes that isolates of M.tuberculosis prevail in Qinghai have both high rates of drug resistance and MDR and dominant isolates are Beijing genotypes by spoligotyping.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility and characteristics of human engraftment in HLA disparate cord blood transplantation.

METHODSTwo human HLA-haploidentical or HLA-mismatched cord blood units were transplanted into sublethally irradiated severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. The characteristics of engraftment, hematopoietic and immunological reconstitution between the two groups were compared.

RESULTSTwo mixed cord blood units can engraft in SCID mice with donor-recipient chimerism and reconstitute hematopoiesis and immunological functions. No unfavorable factors had been observed. Only one of the two cord blood units which had higher colony forming ability in vitro could engraft in most SCID mice as shown by HLA-DQB(1) gene detection. Two HLA-haploidentical cord blood units were simultaneously engrafted in 3 SCID mice.

CONCLUSIONDouble HLA-haploidentical or HLA-mismatched cord blood can engraft in SCID mice and reconstitute hematopoietic and immunological functions. HLA disparity has no significant effect on survival and engrafting rate. However, in less HLA disparity group, two cord blood units were prone to engraft simultaneously.
