Objective To study the correlation between ?-fibrinogen gene variation (-455G/A) and plasma fibrinogen level and cerebral infarction.Methods 86 hypertension patients with cerebral infarction(infarction group),85 hypertension patients without cerebral infarction(hypertension group) and 90 healthy people(control group) were enrolled in this trial. The polymorphism of ?-fibrinogen gene-455G/A located at the start of transcription from all subjects was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Plasma fibrinogen level was measured with prothrombin time (PT) assay.Results The fibrinogen level in infarction group(4.82?0.26 g/L) was significantly higher than that in control group(4.37?0.19 g/L)( P 0.05).The A-455 allele frequency in infarction group was significantly higher than those in control group and hypertension group (all P 0.05). Conclusion Plasma fibrinogen level is affected by the ?-fibrinogen gene -455G/A polymorphism. The fibrinogen A-455 allele may be an independent risk factor of cerebral infarction.

Objective To construct a recombinant plasmid pLEGFP-mIFN? for developing the genetical therapy of tumor by stem cells.Methods PCR was used to amplify the mIFN? gene from plasmid pcDNA3.1-mIFN? in which the mIFN? was cloned.A new plasmid,pLEGFP-mIFN?,was then constructed by inserting the amplified mIFN? gene into pLEGFP-C1.Restriction analysis and sequencing were used to confirm the structure of pLEGFP-mIFN?.Neural stem cells were transfected by supernatant of PA317.Results A DNA fragment in size of 500 bp was amplified.Restriction analysis showed that the amplified gene was inserted into pLEGFP-C1 correctly.(Conclusion The) plasmid pLEGFP-mIFN? is constructed successfully,and it can transfect neural stem cells.

Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of LaCl_3 on the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines SMMC-7721 and its mechanism.Methods The cells were treated with different doses of LaCl_3 and the growth curve,colony inhibitory rates,the levels of AFP of cultured cells were detected at 1,3,5 and 7 days after they were dealed with LaCl_3.The changes of cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry and the expressions of cell cycle protein CyclinD_1,PCNA,CDK_4 and P16 were observed by immunocytochemistry staining.Results MTT test showed that SMMC-7721 cell proliterating activity was obviously inhibited by LaCl_3 in a time and dose related manner at concentrations of 0.50 and 1.00 mmol?L~(-1).The colony forming inhibitory rate of 0.10,0.50 and(1.00 mmol?L~(-1))LaCl_3 were 51%, 67% and 97% (P

Objective To detect the expression of TrkA in the brain of the Wistar rats during the embryonic phase.Methods Adult Wistar rats were fed in one cage.It was E0 day when sepermia were found in vaginal suppository and vaginal smear.The expressions of TrkA in the brain of Wistar rats during various brain regions were observed by immunohistochemistry on E13,E15,E17,E19 and E21 day. Results On E13 day no obvious expression of TrkA was observed in the embryonic brain.The expression of TrkA had an obviously increasing tendency in the cortex of telencephalon from E15 day to E17 day.And on E17 day,the positive rate of the expression of TrkA reached the second peak.While on E19 day,the expression of TrkA had a temporary decreasing.Then on E21 day the expression of TrkA reached the highest peak.The striatum and hippocampus developed later than the telencephalon till E17 day,and the expressions of TrkA during these stages were same as the cerebrum.Conclusion From E15 to E17 day,obvious expressions of TrkA are observed in the embryonic telencephalon,and it accords with embryonic induction.

Objective To explore the effect mechanism of sympathetic nerve on early developing embryo of mice. Methods The model of sympathectomy mouse was established by 6-OHDA injected intraperitoneally.The early developing mice embryo and lymphocytes in uterus were observed using histology,immunohistochemistry and ELISA methods. Results In sympathectomy mouse,the number of embryo implantation was decrease to 64.4%,endometrial lamina propria and vascellum were shortfall.The numbers of CD4~+T cell and CD8~+T cell in sympathectomy mice were larger than ones in control groups,especially,the number of CD8~+T cells at E3 and E5 differed highly(P

Objective To explore whether Islet-1 gene of the rat could induce NSCs to differentiate into cholinergic neurons. Methods NSCs were transduced with Islet-1 recombinant retroviral expression vector.The protein expression of Islet-1 gene in NSCs was detected by immunofluorescence histochemical method.The ability of NSCs to differentiate into ChAT positive cells was observed in vivo and in vitro. Results The numbers of ChAT positive cells were significantly increased in the group of NSCs modified with Islet-1 compared with the control group in vitro.NSCs modified with Islet-1 could differentiate into ChAT positive cells when they were grafted into the corpus striatum of the adult rat brain.Conclusion Islet-1 gene could induce NSCs to differentiate into cholinergic neurons.

In both clinical and animal experiments,it has been confirmed that the inflammation in heart is involved in the development of heart injury after the ischemia/reperfusion.However,the pro-inflammatory mechanism is extremely complicated.Recently,a growing number of reports indicates that many factors play their roles in the inflammation,such as cytokinemia,inflammatory cells,metabolic product of arachidonic acid and COX et al.They are released/presented in the region of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion and include both ischemic and secondary heart injury.
