Objective:To compare the content differences of 18 amino acids in plancenta histolysate determined by pre-column de-rivatization HPLC and post-column derivatization cation-exchange chromatography ( AARO) . Methods: The HPLC method was per-formed on a C18 column and 2, 4-dinitro chlorobenzene ( DNCB) was used for pre-column derivatization, and then the determination was carried out after adding 0. 1 mol·L-1 borax buffer (pH=9. 1), and the AARO method was used for the direct determination with a strong acid cation-exchange chromatographic column and post-column derivatization. Results: The RSD for reproducibility of the AARO method was 1. 84%-0. 91%, while that of the HPLC method was 1. 87%-1. 04%. Conclusion:Both AARO method and HPLC method can be used for the quantitative determination of 18 amino acids in plancenta histolysate with the similar results. However, pre-column derivatization HPLC method may cause incomplete derivatization and instable derivatives.

Objective To unmask clues for the investigation of PIH pathogenesis by detecting the altered gene expression profile of placentas from PIH patients. Methods Clinical data and placentas were collected from 42 PIH patients and 22 normotensive pregnancies in seclective cesarean section to construct PIH database from Mar. 2001 to Sep. 2002 in Xi’an district. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was performed to set the subtractive cDNA library and differential screening was used to identify the positive clones;insertion of positive clones were sequenced by T7 primer method. RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were employed to confirm the putative gene inhibin A expression. Results A database was set up that consists of pre- and postpartum clinical data and placenta samples of 42 preeclamptic pregnancies and 22 normotensive ones From which,150 features of placental tissue microarray were made. One hundred and three positive clones were isolated by SSH and differential screening. Sequencing and BLAST analysis showed that 90 insertion shared more than 95% homology with sequences in the GenBank/EMBL database. We identified 36 putative genes including pregnancy-specific glycoproteins gene (BC005924),serine protease inhibitor gene (BC012868),VEGFR-1 gene (AF063657),cytokeratine 7 gene(CK7) (AF509887),etc. Inhibin beta A gene was highly expressed in placentas in PIH patients. Conclusion The gene expression profile in PIH placenta was greatly changed;it might be necessary to investigate the role of VEGFR1,serine protease inhibitor,inhibin and CK7 in the pathogenesis of PIH.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypoxia on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in villous explants, and the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor 2? (HIF-2?) on the VEGF expression. Methods The villous were obtained from women who underwent suction and curettage for termination at 6-8 gestational weeks. Four groups were divided: normoxia group; hypoxia group; sense HIF-2? oligonucleotide group and anti-sense HIF-2? oligonucleotide group. All villous were cultured in vitro. In anti-sense and sense group, villous were incubated under hypoxia with HIF-2? oligonucleotide. The villous explants were collected after 48 h of cultivation. The protein level of HIF-2? was detected by Western blot and the mRNA of HIF-2? and VEGF were examined by real-time PCR. Results The expression of HIF-2? mRNA and VEGF mRNA as well as the protein level of HIF-2? were increased in hypoxic group comparing with the normoxia group. Compared with the sense group, the expression of HIF-2? protein and HIF-2?, VEGF mRNA showed significant decrease in anti-sense group. Conclusions Hypoxia may result in the increased expression of VEGF in villous explants during the early trimester, which might be mediated by HIF-2?.

HLA-G belongs to non-classical HLA-class Ⅰ genes.It is expressed in the fetal-maternal interface on the extravillous cytotrophoblast and in such immune privilege tissues as the cornea and pancreas.However, under pathological conditions, such as tumor, inflammatory diseases and post transplantation, HLA-G is expressed abnormally.HLA-G can interact with its acceptors or immune cells and suppress the function of immune cells, which facilitates the escape of the surveillance of the human immune system and the consequent damage.In clinical studies,HLA-G is related to some clinical parameters.This review will focus on the expression, function and regulatory mechanisms of HLA-G in cancer immunology.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of robotic sacral hysteropexy in treatment of uterine prolapse.Methods From January 2012 to December 2013,3 patients undergoing robotic sacral hysteropexy in treatment of uterine prolapse in General Hospital of People's Liberation Army were studied retrospectively.Operation time,blood loss and postoperative recovery exhaust time and pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) staging were evaluated.Results Three patients were treated by robotic sacral hysteropexy successfully.The mean operation time was 221 minutes (210-240 minutes),mean blood loss was 45 ml.One case with Ⅱ degree perineal laceration patients simultaneously perineal repair,neither intranor post-operative complications occurred.The mean postoperative recovery exhaust time was 16 hours.At three months of follow-up,all 3 patients got satisfaction.Although one patient at the first six months of postoperation had leakage of urine when coughing,instruct exercise pelvic floor muscle function and acupuncture one month their symptoms disappear.Conclusion Robotic sacral hysteropexy pave the way for an effective option in the management of uterine prolapse.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with no femoral shortening oste?otomy for unilateral CroweⅣ developmental dysplasia of hip. Methods From October 2007 to January 2010, 32 patients with CroweⅣdevelopmental dysplasia of hip in one side underwent THA, including 20 females and 12 males, with an average age of 49.4 ± 9.7 years (range, 23-60 years). There were 15 cases as normal and 17 as mild developmental dysplasia of hip in the other side. The THA were performed with requisite soft tissue release and direct leverage using an elevator but with no femoral shorten?ing osteotomy. The patients' satisfaction, Harris hip score, bilateral leg?length discrepancy and pelvic obliquity was used to assess the clinical results. Results All of patient were followed up for 1-6 years, average 4.0 ± 1.5 years. No loosening or failure of component occurred by the end of follow?up. The Harris hip score was improved from preoperative 36.5±10.3 (20-63) to 89.8± 4.9 (80-97), and the excellent and good rate was 100% (excellent 16 cases, good 16 cases). The satisfactory rate was 93.8%(30/32). The leg?length discrepancy of the bilateral sides and the pelvic obliquity was corrected gradually and the gait returns to normal. Nine cases have valgus knee after THA and 4 cases of them felt uncomfortable after long?distance walk. Femoral nerve injury occurred in 2 cases. All of cases recovered after 1 and 3 months respectively. No infection and dislocation oc?curred. Conclusion THA with no femoral shortening osteotomy can achieve good clinical results in patients with unilateral CroweⅣdevelopmental dysplasia of hip. The discrepancy of leg?length will be diminished with the correction for pelvic obliquity.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Fuzheng Yiliu Granule (FZYLG)-medicated serum on apoptosis of liver cancer cells H22 from mice and its mechanism. METHODS: Liver cancer cells H22 from mice were incubated in culture media containing sera from rabbits medicated with different doses of FZYLG. Flow cytometry was used to examine the cell cycle and analyze the apoptotic rate of the H22 cells. The morphological changes of the H22 cells were observed by transmission electron microscope and the apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax were examined by streptavidin-biotin peroxidase complex (SABC) method. RESULTS: FZYLG-medicated serum could influence the cell cycle and stop the proliferation of H22 cells at the G(1)/G(0) phase with apoptotic peak being detected. In culture media with FZYLG-medicated sera, the expression of Bcl-2 decreased while that of Bax increased as compared with that in culture medium with non-medicated serum (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: FZYLG-medicated serum can induce apoptosis of the liver cancer cells H22 by influencing the cell cycle, down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of Bax.
