Objective To explore the changes of fibrinolytic status and coagulation function of peripheral blood at the acute stage in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methods The platelet(PLT) count and mean platelet volume (MPV),the levels of plasma fibrinogen(Fib) and D-dimer(D-D) were detected at

Objective To evaluate the effect of this neuroendocrine hormone on protein expression by treating the human dermal fibroblasts with a-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH ).Methods Thehuman dermal fibroblasts was cultured, and the total protein of the fibroblasts were separated with immobilized pH gradient-based two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). After Coomassie bright blue staining, gel images were acquired by Image-scanner and then analyzed with the PDQuest software. 2-DE maps of fibroblasts were established. Partial differently expressed protein spots were incised from gels and digested by trypsin in-gel. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and MSDB database searching by Mascot? software were used for protein identification. Results Well-resolved, reproducible 2-DE patterns of dermal fibroblasts treated with and without crMSH were obtained. 8 differently expressed protein spots were detected, among which 8 obtained peptide mass fingerprints (PMF) by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. Among these proteins, of particular interest were five proteins annexin I, HSP27 and lamin A, etc. Conclusions Proteins expressed by human dermal fibroblasts treated with or without crMSH are different, and some of the differently expressed proteins involve apoptosis, intracellular signal transduction and framework construction and so on, which may be associated with anti-fibrosis effects of (a)-MSH on human dermal fibroblasts.

Objective To evaluate the NLRP7 gene mutations and variants and their expression of genetic approach in hydatidiform mole patients with family history.Methods Six cases of mole patients with family members of mole history and 60 healthy women, taking blood, extracting DNA, the genetic mutation on NLRP7 screening and analysis, looking for mutations and corresponding amino acids, proteins control gene mutation found NLRP7 area.Results In 6 mole patients with family history:three patients were with sister's history of mole, and 2 of them familial recurrent hydatidiform mole(from family MoCh76 and family Ch77), there are 2 loci NLRP7 gene mutation.Screening patients from family MoCh76 for mutations in NLRP7 revealed in exon 3 and exon 5, amino acids [295G ＞ T] and [1970A ＞ T], proteins [Glu99X] and [Asp657Val], in a heterozygous.Screening patients from family Ch77 for mutations in NLRP7 revealed in exon4 and exon 7, amino acids [1294C ＞ T] and [2471 + 1G ＞ A], proteins [Arg432X] and [Leu825X], in a heterozygous.Screening patients from family 105 for mutations in NLRP7 revealed no NLRP7 gene mutation.There were mother's history of mole in three patients, and they were not familial recurrent hydatidiform mole.Screening patients from family MoCh73 for mutations in NLRP7revealed in exon 4, amino acids [1137G ＞ C], proteins [Lys379Asn], in a heterozygous.Screening patients from family 106 and family 110 for mutations in NLRP7 revealed no NLRP7 gene mutation.There were not found mutations and variations in 60 cases of ethnic matched control group.Conclusion NLRP7 mutations may be lead to familial recurrent hydatidiform mole.

Objective To investigate the causes of pancreatic injury after autologous liver transplantation in rats. Methods Forty-two SD rats were randomly divided into post autologons liver transplantation 1-hour group, 6-hour group, 12-hour group, 24-hour group, 48-hour group, 72-hour group and sham group (6 rats per group). The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipase were measured to assess pancreatic exocrine function. The histomorphological changes of pancreatic tissue were studied under optical and electron microscopes. All data were analyzed via one-way ANOVA. Results The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipnse in post autologous liver transplantation 1-hour group were significantly higher than those in sham group, and they gradually increased as time passed by. The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipase reached peak at hour 48, after which they decreased gradually. There was a significant difference in the plasma concentration of amylase and lipase among the 7 groups (F = 538.622,489.417, P < 0.05). Acute edematous pancreatitis was observed 1 hour after autolognus liver transplantation, and acute hemorrhagic necrotic pancreatitis was observed 6 hours after transplantation. The degree of injury reached a peak 48 hours after transplantation. The number of mitochondria was increased, and endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus were swollen 1 hour after transplantation, and the area, perimeter, specific surface area and mean gray value of mitochondria were (312±40) mm~2, (80.3±3.8)mm, 0.332±0.039 and 113±11, respectively. As time passed by, the injury of the pancreatic cells was aggravated and autophagosomes were observed. The injury was most severe 48 hours after transplantation, and the area, perimeter, specific surface area and mean gray value of mitochondria were (466±7) mm~2, (108.8±3.7) mm, 0.298±0.009 and 195±12, respectively. There were significant differences in the specific surface area and mean gray value among all the groups (F = 9.322, 76.560, P < 0.05). Conclusion The pancreatic injury after autologous liver transplantation is related to the energy metabolism of the pancreatic cells induced by hypoxia.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of Selective Portal Vein Embolization(SPVE)in rabbits with the mixture of ZT glue and Lipiodol.Methods Sixteen white New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups:Group A,ZT glue:Lipiodol(1:2)mixture and Group B Lipiodol group.SPVE of left branch was performed in each group under digital subtraction angiography.The distribution feature of the embolic agents and the histopathology of liver in each group were observed.The weight ratio of the right lobe to the whole liver at the 30th day after SPVE were recorded and analyzed.Results Permanent embolization were occurred in group A.Recanalization was appeared in group B.Atrophy of the embolized lobes and compensatory hypertrophy of none-embolized lohes was,observed..The weight ratio of the right lobe to the whole liver Was 69.41±5.10% in group A.There was statistical difference between these two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion There were permanent embolization after SPVE with the mixture of ZT glue and lipiodol.SPVE induced atrophy of the embolized lobes of liver and compensatory hypertrophy of none-embolized lobes.

Objective Proliferative cholangitis (PC) is responsible for stone recurrence and biliary restenosis, this study was to investigate the and-proliferative effect of CDC2 kinase shRNA on PC. Methods The common bile duct of PC rat model was given an intralumenal administration of 0. 5 ml of CDC2 kinase shRNA. Results CDC2 kinase shRNA treatment effectively inhibited the expression of CDC2 kinase,PCNA, and procollagen I , resulting in the inhibition of hyperplasia of biliary epithelium, submucosal gland, and collagen fibers. Also, the lithogenic potentiality of PC decreased due to the inhibition of endogenous β-glucuronidase secretion. Conclusion The anti-proliferative effect of CDC2 kinase shRNA on PC may prevent biliary restenosis and stone recurrence.
