A peak velocity in mitral valve slightly increased (P

Objective:To investigate the changes of postburn activity on murine splenic T lymphocyte phosphoinositide-specific PLC signal pathway, and look for the relationship between the postburn and T cell function suppression, IL-2 and IL-10 secretion.Methods:The experimental model was 18% TSBA (total body surface area) fullthickness scalded mice by vapor. The activities of G-protein, PTK (membrane, cytoplasmic) PKC (membrane, plasmic),PI-PLC and cytoplasmic free calcium concentration were detected at different postburn periods, moreover T lymphocyte proliferating function, IL-2 and IL-10 secretion were examined.Results:Compared with control group, membrane GTPase and plasmic PI-PLC enzyme were suppressed after scalded, calcium concentration lowered down significantly, the activities of PTK and PKC were complex, membrane PKC activity elevated after decreasing, those of plasmic PKC were just on the contrary, and the total activity of membrane and plasmic PKC was not stable; Membrane PTK activity decreased in the postburn early stage, then increasing.T cells proliferating function and IL-2 production marginally reduced, and the depressed levels of IL-2 production and T cells proliferating activity were positive parallel with the activities of G-protein and Ca ++. Cytoplasmic PKC activity lowered down after elevating, which was just negative linearly correlated with IL-10 secretion.Conclusion:Inhibition of G-protein ?PTK and Ca ++ activities in phosphoinositide-specific PLC signal pathway was the main reason which resulted in the decrease of IL-2 secretion, suppressed T cell proliferation and the dual-directional changes in IL-10 secretion.

Objective In order to understand the differentially expressed genes and explore the effects on mechanism of gene expression induced by arsenic trioxide. Methods The mRNA was isolated from human HepG2 cells treated with arsenic trioxide( 5?mol/L ) and DMSO, respectively, then cDNA was synthesized. After restriction enzyme Rsa Ⅰ digestion, small sizes cDNA were obtained. Then tester cDNA was subdivided into two portions and each was ligated with different cDNA adaptor. After tester cDNA was hybridized with driver cDNA twice and underwent nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) twice, the DNA fragment was subcloned into T/A plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive cDNA library. Amplification of the library was carried out with E. coli strain JM109. The cDNA was sequenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after colony PCR. Results The forward subtracted cDNA library from HepG2 cell line induced by arsenic trioxide was successfully constructed. The sequencing analysis showed that there were eight clones contained ferritin H(L) chain in the library. Conclusion Arsenic trioxide can induce the up expression of ferritin H(L) chain protein in HepG2 cells, indicated that the ferritin H(L) chain may play certain role in the mechanism of anti-arsenical cytotoxicity in liver.

Objective To analyze the levels and speciation of arsenic metabolites in urine of rats treated with sodium arsenite and sodium arsenate in order to investigate the different aspects of metabolism between sodium arsenite and sodium arsenate,thus to understand further the basic data about relationship between it's metabolism and mechanism of toxicity. Methods Seventy Wistar rats,weighting 80-120 g,were divided into 7 groups of 10 each,such as normal control group,high,middle and low sodium arsenite group and high,middle and low sodium arsenate group. After the animals were fed for one month,the urine was collected by metabolic cage in 12 hours. Applying the high efficiency liquid chromatography and hydride genesis atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (HPLC-HGAFS),the levels and speciation of arsenic metabolites were determined in urine of rats. Meanwhile,the recovery rate of dimethyl arsinic acid(DMA) would be determined to estimate the degree of accuracy of results. Results The levels of iAs~(3+),iAs~(5+) and DMA in middle sodium arsenite group[(121.66±1.26),(10.26±2.68),(200.91±0.56) μg/L]were higher than the high sodium arsenite group[(113.20±0.75),(5.16±1.32),(147.70±μ0.77)μg/L,all P < 0.05]and low sodium arsenite group[(79.35±2.12),(5.13±2.25),(56.35±1.23)μg/L,all P < 0.05]. The levels of iAs~(3+) and DMA in middle sodium arsenate group[(315.81±1.69),(245.12±1.18)μg/L]were higher than the high sodium arsenate group[(85.03±0.56),(110.34±1.04)μg/L,all P< 0.05]and low sodium arsenate group[(22.97±2.67),(15.75±2.15)μg/L,all P < 0.05]. Compared with sodium arsenate group,the levels of iAs~(3+) and DMA in high and low sodium arsenite group were higher(all P < 0.05) ; and the levels of iAs~(3+) and DMA in middle sodium arsenite group were lower(all P < 0.05). Meanwhile,the average urinary recovery rate of DMA of rats in different sodium arsenite group were 94.80%-102.70%,and the average urinary recovery rate of DMA of rats in different sodium arsenate group were 95.33%-108.40%. Conclusion The speciation and levels of arsenic are influenced by the external exposure dose,and some distinction appeared in the metabolism and metabolic path between sodium arsenite and sodium arsenate in urine in vivo.

Objective To investigate the changes of blood coagulation indices during the percutaneous cor-onary intervention(PCI), so as to provide evidence for anticoagulation therapy. Methods 34 acute coronary syn-drome patients were enrolled,whose blood sample was taken at baseline,1 h,4 h,24 h,and 48 h after PCI operation. Thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT), vWF, protein C, antithrombin, fibrinogen, D-dimer were tested. The result was processed by statistical software. Results After PCI, TAT continued to rise, protein C and antithrombin drop down,the vWF and D-dimer rose with TAT,and fibrinogen transiently drop down. Conclusion The thrombin pro-duces more quickly after PCI,its time phrase is coordinated with vWF and D-dimer,at the same time the anticoagula-tion system drops down. High anticoagulation at least maintains within 48 h and then tends to be normal.

Objective To investigate the influence of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) on the disease progression in MRL/lps mice. Methods Tregs were separated by using magnetic beads from splenic cells of MRL/lps mice and BALB/c mice, and concentrated. Twenty-four MRLAps mice were equally divided into 3 groups, test group 1 injected with Tregs from MRL/lps mice, test group 2 injected with Tregs from BALB/c mice, and control group injected with physiological sodium chloride solution. Three weeks later, the levels of urine protein as well as serum anti-dsDNA antibody were determined; subsequently, the mice were sacrificed followed by histopathological and immunopathological examination of renal tissue. Results A significant decline was observed in the test group 1 compared with the test group 2 and control group in the urine protein score (10.63 ± 4.17 vs. 20.00 ± 5.35 and 18.75 ± 8.34, both P < 0.05), serum anti-dsDNA antibody level (5.36 ± 2.40 pg/ml vs. 9.57 ± 1.97 pg/ml and 10.75 ± 3.98 pg/ml, both P < 0.05), glomerular sclerosis index [(32.00 ± 12.09)% vs. (45.50 ± 13.68)% and (47.50 ± 10.78)%, both P< 0.05], and immunofluorescence intensity of IgG immune complex in renal tissue (1.88 ± 0.99 vs. 2.88 ± 0.64 and 2.75 ± 0.71, both P< 0.05). No significant difference was noted in renal tubule interstitial impairment index between the 3 groups (4.63 ± 1.92, 6.00 ± 1.07 and 5.75 ± 1.28, all P> 0.05). There was no statistical difference between the test group 2 and control group in terms of any of the above parameters (all P > 0.05). Conclusions Injection of Tregs from homologous mice could significantly down-regulate proteinuria degree, serum anti-dsDNA antibody level, glomerular sclerosis index and IgG immune complex level in renal tissue, and thereby decelerate the progression of renal impairment in MRL/lps mice.
