Objective To investigate the effect of natural killer (NK) cells treated by serum of severe preeclampsia patient on the function of endothelial cells.Methods Fifteen patients with severe preeclampsia and 15 normal pregnant women from the Obstetrics department,Shengjing Hospital,China Medical University were admitted into this case-control study from January 1,2006 to December 31,2008.NK cells from healthy non-pregnant woman were incubated with 20% serum from severe preeclampsia patients or normal pregnant women for 20 hours.Then,human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC) and serum-treated NK cells were co-incubated for 24 hours.Apoptosis of HUVEC was checked by flow cytometry and electronic microscope.Endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in the supernatants of HUVEC and NK cells were examined by radioimmunologic method.Results In severe preeclampsia group,the percentage of early apoptosis cell (Annexin V-FITC+ /PI+ ) was (23.81±4.79)%,that of late apoptosis cell (AnnexinV-FITC+/PI+ ) was (3.29±1.04) %,while those were (16.59±5.13)% and (2.24±0.72)% respectively in normal pregnant group (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in dead cells (Annexin V-FITC- /PI+ ).Under electronic microscope,typical morphologic changes of apoptosis were shown in severe preeclampsia group.Level of ET-1 in

This paper was aimed to study the genetic diversity and genetic relationship of germplasm resource of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos in order to provide references for its breeding. A total of 36 samples from 18 farm varieties and wild species, as well as related species of Lonicera japonica Thunb. from the main production areas were studied by ISSR-PCR markers. The Jaccard coefficient was worked out by NTSYS-pc software. And a cluster dendrogram of different samples was established based on unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). The re-sults showed that 12 ISSR primers generated 129 loci of which 114 loci were polymorphic. The average percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) is 88.37%. In the cluster dendrogram, different samples of Lonicera japonica are in the same group, which showed that it is a natural species; the wild sample is separated from the cultivated samples; the traditional type-Maohua is relative stable, but the type of Jizhuahua includes complicated varieties, and it has obvi-ous genetic variation; the new variety Jiufeng 1 has already distinct into one stable type. It was concluded that the ISSR method was suitable for germplasm identification, genetic diversity analysis of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, thus providing a theoretical foundation for its cultivation and breeding.

Objective To determine the optimum dose of oxycodone for anesthesia when combined with propofol in the patients undergoing induced abortion.Methods Three hundred patients, aged 18-40 yr, weighing 40-70 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ , undergoing elective induced abortion, were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =50 each) using a random number table: fentanyl group (group F) and different doses of oxycodone groups (Q1-5 groups).In group F, fentanyl 1 μg/kg was intravenously injected.In Q1-5 groups, oxycodone hydrochloride 20, 40, 60, 100 and 150 μg/kg were intravenously injected, respectively.Propofol 2.5 mg/kg was intravenously injected 1 min later in all the patients, and the operation was started when the eyelash reflex disappeared.The occurrence of hypotension, bradycardia, body movement and respiratory depression during operation, and nausea and vomiting within 4 h after operation were recorded.The uterine contraction pain was assessed with numerical rating scale (NRS) at 30 min, 1 h and 4 h after operation.Patient's satisfaction was evaluated at 1 and 4 h after operation.Results With the prolongation of time, NRS score was gradually increased, and the degree of patient's satisfaction was gradually decreased in group F (P＜0.05).With the prolongation of time,NRS score was gradually decreased, and the degree of patient's satisfaction was gradually increased in Q1-2 groups (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in NRS score and degree of patient's satisfaction between Q3-5 groups (P＞0.05).Compared with group F, NRS score was significantly decreased, and the degree of patient's satisfaction was increased at 4 h after operation in Q1-5 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with Q1-2 groups, NRS score was significantly decreased at 30 min and 4 h after operation, and the degree of patient's satisfaction was increased at 4 h after operation in Q3-5 groups (P＜0.05).Among the Q1-5 groups,the incidence of respiratory depression, body movement, and nausea and vomiting was the lowest in group Q4 (P＜0.05).Conclusion When combined with propofol, the optimum dose of oxycodone for anesthesia is 100 μg/kg in the patients undergoing induced abortion.

Objective To investigate the expression of inflammatory mediators in renal tubular epithelial cells in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) and to explore the possible clinicopathological significance. Methods Twenty-three patients with DN diagnosed by renal biopsy and 10 patients with renal cell carcinoma undergone nephrectomy were allocated into DN group and control group, respectively. The renal expression of NF-κB p50, NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65 mRNA, MCP-1, OPN, α-SMA, and FN was detected by immunohistochemical or in situ hybridization assay. Serum creatinine, urinary N-acetylglucosaminedase (NAG), urinary albumin and 24-hour urinary protein were detected. The correlation between these inflmmnatory markers and clinicopathological data were analyzed. Results (1)Among all the 23 DN patients, granular degeneration of the renal tubular epithelium, focal tubular atrophy, infiltration of inflammatory cells and interstitial fibrosis were apparent, and none of these were found in control group. (2) Immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization assay showed that, compared with control group, expression of these factors increased significantly in renal tubular cells or interstitium in DN patients, and expression of α-SMA or FN was not found in tubular epithelial cells. (3)Statistics assay showed the tubular NF-κB p65 protein expression was correlated with all of the following factors: NF-κB p50 protein (r=0.792) and NF-κB p65 mRNA (r=0.763), tubular MCP-1 (r=0.825) and OPN (r=0.869) expression, interstitial α-SMA (r=0.327) and FN (r=0.432) expression, proteinuria(r=0.710), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (r=-0.728), and urinary NAG (r= 0.930), P<0.01 respectively. Conclusion Tubular inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of DN.

Background and purpose: ERCC2 gene silence by siRNA interference was observed in esophageal cancer cell line and it could change cell sensitivity to taxol. This study was to investigate the biological mechanism of paclitaxel-resistance in esophageal cancer cells. Methods: ERCC2 targeting siRNA (si-ERCC2) has been synthesized. The constructor were transfected into ERCC2 cell lines high-KYSE150(bigh expression of ERCC2) through lipofectamine. RT-PCR and flow cytometry (FCM) were used to detect the ERCC2 mRNA and protein expression levels. MTr assay was used to estimate the paclitaxel sensitivity of the cells. Results: In si-ERCC2 group, ERCC2 could not be detected and ERCC2 protein expression were reduced by 31.2%, 51.6% and 60.0%, respectively, 24,48,72 b after transfection. Paclitaxel IC_(50) value for si-ERCC2 group was 6.32±0.87 μg/mL, lower than the control group(49%). Conclusion: siRNA could successfully silence the target gene ERCC2 at the level of transcription and translation of the gene, the reduction of ERCC2 expression may reverse taxol resistance of the cells.
