Objective:To study the efficacy of prostaglandin E1 in the patients with diabetic nephropathy and its inhibition on inflammatory factors. Methods:Totally 86 cases of diabetic nephropathy from June 2013 to June 2015 in our hospital were selected,and according to the random number,they were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. The control group was treated with the conventional dietary restriction and therapy regimen including lowering blood pressure and blood sugar. The patients in the observation group were given prostaglandin E1 additionally. After the treatment,24h urine protein quantity,serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen and the other basic indicators of renal function and the contents of sICAM-1 and hs-CRP were detected. Results:After the treatment,the contents of 24h urine protein,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen, sICAM-1 and hs-CRP in the two groups were notably decreased when compared with those before the treatment,and the decrease in the observation groups was more significant than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P <0. 05). During the course of treatment,no obvious adverse reactions appeared in the two groups. Conclusion:Prostaglandin E1 in the adjuvant treatment of diabetic nephropathy patients shows better therapeutic efficacy and inhibition on inflammatory factors with higher security,which should be promoted in clinics.

Aim To detect the effect of morphine dependence and withdrawal on the levels of neurosteroids and amino acid neurotransmitters in nucleus accumbens in rat morphine dependent model. Methods Nucleus accumbens was dissected out from morphine dependent and naloxone precipitated withdrawal rats. The contents of neurosteroids including dehydroepiandrosterone, pregnenolone, allopregnanolone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and pregnenolone sulfate were detected with liquid chromatography-negative atmospheric pressure with ionization mass spectrometry(LC-MS). The contents of glycine, glutamate and ?-aminobutyric acid were quantitated by HPLC-ECD with precolumn derivatization. Results Compared with saline group,in nucleus accumbens of morphine withdrawal rats, the level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (P

Objective: To investigate the effect of morphine dependence and withdrawal on the levels of neurosteroids in hippocampus of male rat.Methods: Rats were given (ip) increasing doses of morphine to form morphine physical dependence, withdrawal syndromes were precipitated by naloxone. The conditioned place preference (CPP) was used to establish morphine psychological dependence. The concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), pregnenolone (PREG), pregnenolone sulfate (PREGS), and allopregnanolone (AP) in rat hippocampus and plasma were quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results:The rat model of morphine physical and psychological dependence were successfully established by ip increasing doses of morphine for 7 days and 5mg?kg~ -1 morphine for 10 days respectively. Compared with saline control group, morphine physical dependence increased DHEA and PREG contents in rat hippocampus (0.88?0.19/0.67?0.17,t=2.52,10.94?2.02/7.53?2.64,t=3.24,P

Objective To investigate the effects of morphine dependence and withdrawal on neurosteroids and amino acid transmitters of rat amygdala. Methods Morphine dependence was induced by pretreatment with increasing doses of morphine for 7 days. Withdrawal was precipitated by naloxone (2mg/kg). Withdrawal syndromes were observed and scored. After decapitation, amygdala was dissected out. Nomadic and conjugated neurosteroids were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction and solid phase extraction. Concentrations of neurosteroids including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), pregnenolone (PREG), allopregnanolone (AP), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and pregnenolone sulfate (PREGS) were detected with HPLC-MS. Concentrations of glycine (GLY), glutamate (GLU) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were quantitated by HPLC-ECD with pre-column OPA derivatization. Results Compared with saline control, the DHEA level in rat amygdala of morphine dependent group decreased by 33% (P＜0.01). Compared with naloxone control, the PREG and AP levels in rat amygdala of morphine withdrawal group increased by 45% (P＜0.05) and 42% (P＜0.05) respectively; the GABA level decreased by 18% (P＜0.01). Compared with morphine dependent group, the PREG and PREGS levels in rat amygdala of morphine withdrawal group increased by 60% and 40% respectively (P＜0.05); the glycine level decreased by 14% (P＜0.05). Conclusion The DHEA in rat amygdala may play a role in the development of morphine dependence but not involved in the manifestation of withdrawal symptoms. Other neurosteroids (including PREG, AP and PREGS) in rat amygdala seem to be involved in withdrawal but not in dependence. The synthesis and release of inhibitory amino acids in amygdala were depressed when withdrawal was precipitated by naloxone. The results suggest that different changes of neurosteroids and amino acids exist in stages of morphine dependence and withdrawal.

Objective: To study the regulatory effects of antifibrotic cytokines, interleukin 10 (IL-10), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) on activity of TGF-β1 gene promoter, so as to assess the antifibrotic mechanism of cytokines. Methods: Sequence - 1328-+812 of TGF-β1 gene, which contains the - 509 C>T polymorphism, was selected as putative promoter. The recombinant constructions containing - 1328-+ 812 of TGF-β1 gene and CAT reporter gene (phTGF2. 14T, phTGF2. 14C) were constructed and transfected into HepG2 cells with liposomal transfection method, then the transfected HepG2 cells were treated with IL-10(4 ng/ml), HGF(10 ng/ml) or IFN-γ(20 ng/ml). Reporter gene activity was analyzed by ELISA. Results: Reporter gene activity in cells transfected with phTGF2. 14C was significantly higher than those transfected with phTGF2. 14T (P<0.01). IFN-γ significantly inhibited the reporter gene activity in HepG2 cells transfected with phTGF2. 14C or phTGF2. 14T(P<0.05); HGF significantly increased the reporter gene activity in cells transfected with phTGF2. 14C (P<0.05). IL-10 had no effects on the activities of cells transfected with phTGF2. 14C or phTGF2.14T. Conclusion: C allele at - 509 can increase the promoter activity of TGF-β1 gene in HepG2 cells. The antifibrotic effect of IFN-γ might be related to its inhibitory effect on the putative promoter activity of TGF-β 1 gene; the antifibrotic effects of HGF and IL-10 may not be through regulation of TGF-beta1 gene transcription.

Background and purpose:Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), a member of epidermal growth factor receptor family, initiates a diverse set of signaling pathways that ultimately affect such fun-damental processes as cell proliferation, cell motility and cell apoptosis. It is reported that HER-2 was associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. However, the mechanism needs further investigation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of HER-2 on regulating EMT process.Methods:Transwell assay was used to determine the motility of breast cancer cells; Real-time lfuorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-FQ-PCR) was employed to determine the expression of genes of interest, and reactive oxygen species production was measured by reactive oxygen species detection kit.Results:HER-2 overexpression in breast cancer cells could promote cell migration and invasion. Mechanistic study showed that HER-2 overexpression could upregulate ZEB1 expression. ZEB1 silencing by siRNA reduced cell motility of HER-2-overexpressing breast cancer cells. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species produced in HER-2-overexpressing breast cancer cells were less than those produced in corresponding control cells.Conclusion:Our study demonstrated that HER-2 overexpression endowed breast cancer cells with EMT related properties by upregulating ZEB1 expression. ZEB1 could be a candidate target for further study of the relation-ship between HER-2 and EMT.

Objective To investigate the effects of Simo decoction on ghrelin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in diabetic rats.Methods A total of 48 SD rats were divided into healthy control group,diabetes group (DM),DM treated with low dose Simo decoction group (DMTL),DM treated with medium dose Simo decoction group (DM-TM),DM treated with high dose Simo decoction group (DM-TH) and DM prevented with medium dose Simo decoction group (DMPM) ; there were eight rats in each group.The rats of DM group and other intervention groups were intraperitoneally injected with 1％ streptozotoein (STZ) to establish the model.The rats of healthy control group were injected with solvent.At eight weeks after the model successfully established,the rats of each intervention group were gavaged with low dose of Simo decoction (0.15 ml · kg-1 · d-1 ),medium dose of Simo decoction (1.5 ml · kg-1 · d-1 ) and high dose of Simo decoction (3.0 ml · kg-1 ·d-1 ) for two weeks; the rats of control group and DM groups were gavaged with equal volume of 0.9％NaCl.The rats of DM-PM group were gavaged with Simo decoction at 1.5 ml · kg-1 · d-1 for 10 weeks after the model successfully established.Rats were sacrificed at the end of drug intervention and gastric antrum tissues were dissociated for detecting the expression of ghrelin and CGRP by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The data were analyzed by one way ANOVA and t test.Results There was no significant difference in ghrelin expression at mRNA level in gastric antrum tissues between diabetic rats and control group.However after intervened by low dose and medium dose of Simo decoction,the ghrelin expression increased (1.45 ± 0.34,1.87 ± 0.68 compared with 0.87 ±0.28,Dunnett's T3 test,P＜0.05).There was no effects of high dose Simo decoction on the expression of ghrelin in diabetic rats.There was no significant difference in ghrelin between DM-TM and DM-PM.The expression of CGRP at mRNA level in gastric antrum tissues of diabetic rats was significantly higher than that of control group (4.61 ± 1.67 compared with 1.06 ± 0.40,t =5.843,P＜0.01).There was no effects of low dose Simo decoction on CGRP expression of diabetic rats.The expression of CGRP of diabetic rats was down-regulated by medium and high dose of Simo decoction intervention.There was no significant difference in CGRP expression between DM-TM and DM-PM.Conclusions Simo decoction can promote ghrelin expression in gastric antrum of diabetic rats.The expression of CGRP in gastric antrum of diabetic rats significantly increased,but Simo decoction may down-regulate the expression of CGRP in gastric antrum of diabetic rats.
