Phospholipase C epsilon-1 (PLCE1) is a phospholipase C isoenzyme encoded by PLCE1 gene, and has more complicated molecular structure and function than other subtypes. Phospholipase C epsilon-1 is accepted the dual regulation by the upstream G proteins and GTP enzymes of Ras family. The downstream signal of PLCE1 is not only cause the Ca2+ flow and protein kinase C(PKC) activation, but also can be used as the GTP enzyme guanylic acid conversion factor of Ras superfamily, so as to regulate the expression of certain genes, adjusting cell growth and differentiation processes. PLCE1 plays a very important role in the signal transduction in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Previous studies showed that phospholipase C epsilon-1 played an important role in the development of malignant tumors (especially the digestive tumors), heart disease, nephrotic syndrome and other diseases, but there are some questions about the mechanisms of PLCE1 involved in allergic rhinitis, this article will make an overview about PLCE1 promotes allergic rhinitis CD4+ T cells differentiate to Th2 cells by PKC-NF-κB pathway and Ras-MAPK pathway.

Objective To evaluate the role of delta and kappa opioid receptors in sufentanil preconditioning (SPC)-induced attenuation of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Forty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 2-3 months,weighing 250-330 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group I/R,group SPC,δ receptor antagonist naltrindole + SPC group (NTD + SPC group),and κ receptor antagonist nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI) + SPC group (BNI + SPC group).Myocardial I/R was induced by 30 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion.In group SPC,5 min infusion of sufentanil 3μg/kg was repeated 3 times at 5 min interval before myocardial ischemia.In NTD + SPC group,naltrindole 5 mg/kg was intravenously injected,at 10 before SPC.In BNI + SPC group,nor-BNI 5 mg/kg was injected intravenously at 15 min before SPC.Arterial blood samples were collected at 120 min of reperfusion for measurement of the serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed and hearts removed for determination of myocardial infarct size (IS) and area at risk (AAR).IS/AAR ratio was calculated.Results Compared with S group,the serum cTnI and CK-MB concentrations were significantly increased in I/R,NTD + SPC and BNI + SPC groups,and the serum CK-MB concentrations were increased in SPC group,and IS/AAR ratio was increased in I/R group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).The serum cTnI and CK-MB concentrations were significantly lower in SPC,NTD + SPC and BNI + SPC groups and IS/AAR ratio was lower in SPC and BNI + SPC groups than in I/R group,and higher in NTD + SPC and BNI + SPC groups than in SPC group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion Both κ and δ opioid receptors mediate SPC-induced attenuation of myocardial I/R injury in rats.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of drug-eluting stents implantation or pure balloon expansion for the treatment of patients with knee artery lesions. Methods Sixty-eight patients with knee artery lesions were randomly and voluntarily divided into the control group( n=34 )and observation group( n=34 ) . The patients in the control group were given balloon expansion treatment,while in observation group were implanted drug-eluting stents besides balloon expansion. Pathological changes of skin temperature,percutaneous oxygen partial pressure( TcPO2 ),ankle brachial index( ABI),and the recurrence rate of patients before and after treatment for 6 months and 12 months were recorded and compared. Results After 6 months treatment,TcPO2 and ABI in observation group were(35. 4 ± 4. 5)mmHg and 0. 85 ± 0. 04,significantly higher than that in control group(( 28. 2 ± 3. 5 ) mmHg and 0. 62 ± 0. 03 ),and the differences were statistically significant( t=2. 535,2. 185;P﹤0. 05). At 12 months after treatment,skin temperature,TcPO2,ABI in observation group were(32. 4 ± 4. 3)℃,(34. 3 ± 4. 2)mmHg and 0. 80 ± 0. 04,significantly higher than that of the control group ((28. 6 ± 3. 7)℃,(26. 4 ± 3. 6)mmHg,0. 53 ± 0. 02;t =2. 354,2. 648,2. 064;P ﹤0. 05). Meanwhile,the recurrence rate was 5. 9% in observation group,significantly lower than that of the control group( 32. 4%;χ2=8. 463,P﹤0. 05). Conclusion The clinical effect of drug-eluting stents implantation in treatment of patients with knee artery lesions is superior to that of balloon expansion.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that hemiarthroplasty is suitable for single femoral head diseases with normal acetabulum. But indications for choosing bone cement or biological fixation types, short- and long-term efficacy as well as the complications have not yet reached agreement.OBJECTIVE: To discuss the efficacy of two kinds of femoral prosthesis for femoral neck fractures in hemiarthroplasty,and the application of three-dimensional CT reconstruction in displaced fractures.METHODS: Clinical data of 73 cases of femoral head fractures undergoing hemiarthroplasty were analyzed retrospectively, and divided into bone cement and biological groups. All patients were followed up for 1.5 years, and the operation indexes, hospitalization time and hip joint function were compared; the consistent degree with intraoperative findings was compared through hip three-dimensional CT and X-ray examination simultaneously.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) There was no significant difference in the effective rate between groups (P > 0.05).(2) The operation time in the biological group was significantly shorter than that in the bone cement group (P < 0.05); the intraoperative blood loss and hospitalization time in the bone cement group were significantly less than those in the biological group (P < 0.05). (3) The Harris scores in the bone cement group were significantly higher than those in the biological group at 1 month after replacement (P < 0.05); the Harris scores in the biological group were significantly higher than those in the bone cement group at 18 months after replacement (P < 0.05); while there were no significant differences between two groups at 3, 6 and 12 months after replacement. (4) The hip three-dimensional reconstruction and X-ray examination showed no error compared with the intraoperative findings, reaching 100%. (5) Our findings suggest that age, disease history and bone quality should be considered when choosing an appropriate type of hemiarthroplasty for the patients with femoral neck fractures, and bone cement prosthesis is suitable for the elder patients with severe osteoporosis; while those with good bone quality should receive biological prosthesis. Besides, the diagnosis accuracy of three-dimensional reconstruction is superior to X-ray examination, which is conductive to fully understand displaced fractures.

Objective To observe adhesion and growth of Sehwann cells(SCs) on small intestinal submueosa(SIS) and study the bioeompatibility of SIS with SCs.Methods The SCs of SD neonate rat were isolated and cultured in vitro,then were seeded on prepared SIS.At different times,the adhesion,growth and proliferation of SCs on SIS were observed by phase contrast microscope,histological examination,scanning e- lectron microscope and transmission electron microscope.Results By phase contrast microscope,SCs grew well on the edge of SIS after 3 and 5 days.SCs adhered tightly on the surface of SIS after 5 days through histo- logical examination.By scanning electron microscope,on the surface of SIS,SCs grew and adhered actively, prominence of cells body were obvious.They connected end-to-end with each other or arranged in clusters. Protein granules were secreted on cells surface.By transmission electron microscope,SCs grew in good condi- tion and adhered tightly on the surface of SIS.At the interface of SCs and SIS,prominence was seen to contact with SIS in the bottom of cell body.Conclusion SCs are able to adhere and grow well on the surface of SIS.As a scaffold,SIS has good biocompatibility with SCs.

Objective: To investigate the role of NF-?B in signal transduction of hepatocyte apoptosis in liver injury. Methods: A total of 42 Chang-Bai piglets were divided into 7 groups: control group, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours wound group. The model of intestinal perforations due to abdominal firearm wound was established in wound groups. Hepatic NF-?B activity was measured with immunohistochemical staining and image analysis in all groups. Hepatocyte apoptosis indexes and serum ALT levels were also determined. Results: Levels of hepatic NF-?B activity in wounded groups were significantly elevated compared with control group, and there were two peaks (1 and 8 hours group P

The identity of higher-order neurons and circuits playing an associative role to control renal function is notwell understood.We identified specific neural populations of rostral elements of brain regions that project multisynaptically to the kidneys in 3~ days after injecting a retrograde tracer pseudorabies virus (PRV)-614 into kidney of 13 adult male C57BL/6J strain mice.PRV-614 infected neurons were detected in a number of mesencephalic (e.g.central amygdala nucleus),telencephalic regions and motor cortex.These divisions included the preoptic area (POA),dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH),lateral hypothalamus,arcuate nucleus (Arc),suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN),periventricular hypothalamus (PeH),and rostral and caudal subdivision of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN).PRV-614/Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) double-labeled cells were found within DMH,Arc,SCN,PeH,PVN,the anterodorsal and medial POA.A subset of neurons in PVN that participated in regulating sympathetic outflow to kidney was catecholaminergic or serotonergic.PRV-614 infected neurons within the PVN also contained arginine vasopressin or oxytocin.These data demonstrate the rostral elements of brain innervate the kidney by the neuroanatomical circuitry.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the value of MRI follow-up in pediatric patients with spinal tuberculosis.

METHODSFrom February 2004 to April 2013, MRI imaging data in 21 children with spinal tuberculosis by pathologically and clinically proven were retrospectively analysed. There were 11 males and 10 males, with an average age of 9.4 years old ranging from 2 to 14 years old. Eighteen patients were received conservative treatment, 3 patients were treated by surgical operation. The course of disease ranged from 2 months to 3 years. All cases underwent two or more MRI examinations for follow-up. MRI findings of the first and second examination were comparatively analyzed,including signal changes of vertebral body and intervertebral, paraspinal abscess and the change of kyphosis angle.

RESULTSIn the 21 cases with tuberculosis, 85 vertebral bodies were affected in total, including 10.6%(9/85), 49.4%(42/85) and 40%(34/85) vertebral bodies separately in the cervical,thoracic, lumbosacral spine. Follow-up MRI showed vertebral body shape and signal had no obvious change during or after treatment, 15 cases with vertebral bodies changed flat or cuneate, 10 cases with disc involvement,and intervertebral space became narrowing at different level. Among 13 patients with kyphosis angle greater than 0°, 7 were located on thoracic, 2, 3, 1 were on thoracolumbar, lumbar and cervical spine, respectively. Among 18 cases with conservative treatment,kyphosis angle were 0° on the first and the follow up MRI of 8 patients. One case of mild (<10°) kyphosis,follow-up MRI during therapy showed the angle slightly increased; 5 cases with moderate (10° to 30°), follow-up MRI during therapy showed no obvious change; 4 cases with severe (>30°), follow-up MRI during and after therapy showed kyphosis increased in varying degrees.

CONCLUSIONFollow-up MRI can make a big difference in the spinal tuberculosis of children; it can clearly show the change of the vertebral body and intervertebral space, paraspinal abscess and the kyphosis angle after the treatment,which can provide reference for clinical treatment and estimating prognosis.

A two-step method for the purification of blocking-type anti-human CD80 monoclonal antibody 4E5 from mouse ascites was developed using anion exchange and gel filtration in combination. The ascites was first purified by anion exchange after centrifugation and filtration. The experimental parameters of sample loading and elution were optimized. The optimized loading condition was pH 8.0,50 mmol/L Tris-HCl and satisfactory results were obtained using a 0~0.5mol/L NaCl step elution. The fraction containing the protein of interest was directly loaded on gel filtration column and eluted using a 20 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 7.2. The purity of the obtained monoclonal antibody was up to 95% with a recovery of 61%. The purity of mAb could efficiently inhibit the growth of Daudi cells. The amplification of the method was also studied using a Bio-Scale Q5 column and the result was satisfied.
