Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(9):1347-1348
Objective To research and analyze the correlation of TNF-αexpression and renal damage in gestational hypertension patients.Methods 60 patients with gestational hypertension were selected as study group.Meanwhile,59 healthy pregnant women were selected as control group.The TNF-α expression and renal function were tested and analyzed.Results The TNF-α expression in study group was (24.7 ± 5.6)μg/L,(12.1 ± 8.2)μg/L in control group (P < 0.05).The serum creatinine in 29 patients in the study group was (317 ± 24) μmol/L,TNF-α (26.9± 1.6)μg/L.The serum creatinine in other 31 patients was (153 ± 18)μmol/L,TNF-α (21.7 ± 2.1)μg/L.The serum creatinine in control group was (56 ± 19) μmol/L,TNF-α (10.3 ±4.1) μg/L.There was a positive correlation between TNF-α expression and serum creatinine.Conclusion The TNF-α expression may be positively correlate with renal damage in gestational hypertension patients.

Objective To investigate the reversal effect of hMSH2 small interference RNA(siRNA) on chemo-resistance of ovarian carcinoma cell line OC3/TAX300,explore the clinical significance.Methods The specific hMSH2 siRNA (experimental group) and non-specific hMSH2 siRNA (negative control group) was designed,synthesized and transfected into ovarian carcinoma cell line OC3/TAX300.The expression mRNA and protein levels of hMSH2 were detected by real-time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and western blot.The cell proliferation was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) method after 12,24,48,72 hours of 2 μg/ml taxol,the apoptosis rate after 24,48 hours of 2 μg/ml taxol was analyzed by flow cytometry.Morphological changes and ultramicrostructure of cells after 48 hours of 2 μg/ml taxol were observed with transmission electron microscope.Results (1) The mRNA levels of hMSH2 were 0.004 ± 0.000,0.053 ±0.006 and 0.057 ± 0.012 in experimental group,negative control group and non-infected group,respectively.The protein levels of hMSH2 were 0.19 ± 0.04,1.00 ± 0.07 and 0.95 ± 0.03 in experimental group,negative control group and non-infected group,respectively.(2) Compared with the noninfected group and the negative control group.The cell proliferation was effectively inhibited after 12,24,48,72 hours of 2 μg/ml taxol(P <0.05).The cell cycle was arrested at G2/M phase,the apoptotic rate was significantly increased after 24,48 hours of 2 μg/ml taxol (P < 0.05).The experimental group after 48 hours of 2 μg/ml taxol was found to have more visible cell shrinkage,more serious chromatin margination,nucleus condensation,fragmentation and apoptotic body formation,nucleolus disappeared,markedly swollen mitochondria,mitochondrial cristae disappeared and other signs of apoptosis.While the nucleus was located in the cells of the central and nucleolus is clear,only mild chromatin pyknosis and marginalized,mild swelling of mitochondria in the control group and blank group.Conclusion siRNA targeting hMSH2 may reverse the chemo-resistance of ovarian carcinoma cell line OC3/TAX300 and may become a treatment or a new direction in the adjuvant therapy of ovarian cancer.

Combined with the five Zang Yin-Yang theory, to discuss the spinal marrow and cerebral Yin Yang state. As the internal organs, we believe that the spinal marrow and cerebral are substantial Yin and functional Yang. Further we can diagnose and treat the cerebral and spinal marrow injury related diseases. In the clinical therapy of acute and chronic cerebral and spinal marrow diseases, we should maintain the substantial Yin by avoiding injury, preventing spinal degeneration and maintaining the blood supply; and we should adjusting the functional Yang by nourishing the blood and promoting blood circulation, calming the liver to stop the wind, keep Yin and Weiqi in balance, tonifying the spleen and kidney etc. From the author's experience ,the patient with acute cerebral and spinal marrow injury diseases should be treated by regulating lung, liver, spleen and kidney to remove the wet water and purge the fire;the patient with chronic cerebral and spinal marrow injury diseases should be treated by regulating heart, liver, spleen and kidney to enhance Yang and nourish Yin.
