Objective The present study investigated the expression of heat shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70) in the synovial tissues and blood samples of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to determine the pathological role of this protein in the pathogenesis of the disease.Methods The expression of Hsc70 in synovial membranes was quantitatively analyzed by immunohistochemistry,real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting.The samples from osteoarthritis (OA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) were used as controls.The levels of Hsc70 in blood of patients with RA were determined using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the samples of the healthy subjects as controls.Statistical analysis was conducted with one-way ANOVA,LSD test and Spearmen's correlation.Results Immunohistochemistry showed that Hsc70 had significantly increased expression in synovial tissues of RA than in the samples of OA and AS.Real-time PCR and western blotting confirmed the above findings.ELISA detected significantly elevated level of Hsc70 in blood of patients with RA as compared with samples from the controls (P＜0.01).Conclusion The study suggests that the up-regulation of Hsc70 may be involved in the pathogenic process of RA.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in the diagnosis of postnatal placenta increta. Methods Twenty-six patients with postnatal placenta increta were examined by gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasound and CEUS. Then microvascular perfusion and enhanced features of lesions, myometrium and serous layer were observed. Arriving time (AT), time to peak intensity (TTP) and the lasting time of enhancement (LTE) were recorded. AT,TTP and LTE of enhanced lesions were compared with those of normal myometrium. Results Serous layer, lesions and adjcent myometrium,normal myometrium enhanced in turn. There was no obvious boundary between the lesions enhanced and adjcent myometrium. AT and TTP of the lesions enhanced were both less than those of normal myometrium ( P ＜0. 05). LTE of the part of lesions enhanced was more than that of normal myometrium ( P ＜0.05).Part of lesions never enhanced during the whole process. The serous layer of uterine was smooth and uninterrupted in 24 patients. These 24 patients all recovered after conservative treatment. The local serous layer adjcent lesions was not smooth, but no contrast agent leakage occurred in another 2 patients, and uterine lobectomy were performed in emergency because of massive hemorrhage during conservative treatment. Conclusions Microvascular perfusion and enhanced features of lesions,myometrium and serous layer could be showed clearly through CEUS.

AIMTo fabricate multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) modified electrode and study the electrochemical behaviors of diethylstilbestrol at the MWNT-modified electrode.

METHODSCyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry.

RESULTSThe oxidation peak current of diethylstilbestrol increased remarkably and the peak potential shifted negatively at the MWNT-dihexadecyl hydrogen phosphate (DHP) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), in contrast to that at the bare GC electrode and DHP-modified GC electrode. The oxidation peak current is linear with the concentration of diethylstilbestrol over the range from 1 x 10(-8) to 2 x 10(-6) mol.L-1. The detection limit was 2.5 x 10(-9) mol.L-1. The relative standard deviation (n = 10) was 2.9% for 1 x 10(-6) mol.L-1 diethylstilbestrol.

CONCLUSIONThe MWNT-DHP modified GCE exhibits catalytic activity to the oxidation of diethylstilbestrol.

In order to identify the chemical constituents of Yushu tablets comprehensively, we studied the chemical constituents of CHCl3 extract from Yushu tablets by the ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-ion trap-time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-IT-TOF/MS). It showed that there were more than 100 compounds separated, and forty-nine peaks among these were identified on the basis of high resolution mass spectrometry data and literature data reported. Determination of twelve peaks was further confirmed by standard substances. These components assigned to the different plant sources mainly included phenylpropanoids, triterpenoids, quinones and m-trihydroxybenzene compounds. By analyzing the chemical components of CHCl3 extract from compound Chinese medicine Yushu tablets comprehensively, this study provided the foundation for studying chemical components, pharmacodynamic substance and quality control of Yushu tablets.
