AIM　To investigate effect of urotensin Ⅱ (UⅡ)on proliferation of aort a smooth muscle cells （ASMC）of rat and study the signal transduction pathway o f it. METHODS　In cultured ASMC of rat, UⅡ was used to stimulate proliferation of these cells and levels of ［3H］-TdR incorporation were used to evaluate the speed of DNA synthesis, and different inhibitors were used to s tudy the action of different signal transduction pathway of mitogenic effect of UⅡ on VSMC. RESULTS　1×10-9～1×10-7 mol*L- 1 UⅡ caused marked concentration-dependent increasing of ［3H］-TdR i ncor poration of ASMC. ［3H］-TdR incorporation of 1×10-9,1×10-8 and 1×10-7 mol*L-1 UⅡ were 22%（P<0.05）, 57%（P<0.01）and 65%（P<0.01）higher than control. Nicardipine, H7, W7 and PD98059 , which are inhibitors of calcium channel, PKC, CaM-PK and MAPK respectively, inhibited the effects of UⅡ obviously, with the inhibitory rate by 55%（P< 0.01）, 27%（P<0.01）,18%（P<0.05）and 16%（P<0.05）respectively . CONCLUSION　UⅡ is a strong mitogen for VSMC and the mitogenic e ffect of UⅡ is probably mediated by Ca2+, PKC, CaM-PK and MAPK signal tr ansduction pathway.

AIM: To study the effect of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation on the adhesion and migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) stimulated by fibronectin (FN). METHODS: Cultured SMCs were stimulated by different concentrations of FN.FAK expression and phosphorylation were detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blot. To investigate the modulating effect of FAK on tyrosine phosphorylation and SMCs adhesion and migration, FAK antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) were transfected into SMCs by actionic lipid method. RESULTS: FAK expression increased when SMCs adhesion and migration were induced by FN at different concentrations used in the experiment. However, FAK phosphorylation was only observed by FN stimulation at concentration of 20 mg/L. FAK antisense ODNs inhibited FAK phosphorylation magnificently. The migration rates of SMCs were reduced by 17.89%-27.67% when FN was used at concentration from 5 mg/L to 60 mg/L. The decreased migrating cell numbers were showed the same patterns. The apoptotic SMCs were 33.57% higher than that control ( P

BACKGROUND:At present, spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury is considered as the main reason for secondary paralysis after spinal decompression, and to control the levels of stress-related proteins and excitatory amino acids plays an important role in the treatment of spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression level of protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3) after spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury in rabbits. METHODS:Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were enrolled, the models of spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury were established using Zivin's method, and were then randomized into six groups (n=6 per group). The rabbit abdominal aorta in control group was exposed without vascular occlusion and then the abdominal cavity was closed 30 minutes later. In experimental groups, the abdominal aorta was blocked for 30 minutes, followed by 0, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours of reperfusion, and then the abdominal cavity was closed. The neurological function was evaluated with a modified Tarlov score. The L3-5lumbar vertebrae were removed, and PDIA3 was screened by two-dimensional fluorescence differential gel electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometry, and then its temporal and spatial changes in the spinal cord were detected by western blot assay and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The function of hind limbs was improved in all the experimental groups after spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury, and the modified Tarlov scores reached the peak at 24 hours after schemia/reperfusion injury, and decreased slightly at 48 hours. The expression of PDIA3 in the control group showed clear imprinting, which was slightly strengthened at 0 hour, became more strengthened at 6-12 hours, significantly reduced to the minimum level at 24 hours, and returned to the level of 6-12 hours at 48 hours after ischemia/reperfusion. Immunohistochemical results showed that there was visible PDIA3 in the cytoplasm of neurons, and the expression level in the interneurons was significantly higher than that in the motor neurons. These results suggest that upregulated PDIA3 appears in the development and progression of spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury, indicating that PDIA3 is closely related to spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury, which can be used as a new diagnosis and treatment target.

Objective To compare the detection performance of the modified serum test (TRUST) method and the traditional method in syphilis screening.Methods A series of TRUST high titer syphilis serum was diluted,and the positive rate of each method was calculated by using the improved method and the traditional method.Comparison of two detection methods of C50,C5 ～ C95 interval,as well as the accuracy of the density curve,and the consistency of the two methods were compared,and diagnostic performance were compared.Results The improved method of C50 was less than the traditional method of C50,and the improved method of C5 ～ C95 range was narrower than the traditional method,compared with the traditional method.The improved method of the non precision density curve was steeper than the traditional method,and the two confidence interval of the consistency degree of the 95％ methods was 73.4％ to 95.8％.The diagnostic sensitivity (SEN),diagnostic specificity (SPE),positive predictive value (PPV),negative predictive value (NPV) and diagnostic efficiency(DF) of the improved method were 64.29 ％,99.1％,85.71％,97.05 ％ and 96.39 ％,respectively.The SEN,SPE,PPV,NPV and DF of the traditional methods were 3.75 ％,98.49 ％,75 ％,96.18 ％ and 95 ％,respectively.The improved method was superior to the traditional methods in the two aspects of SEN and PPV (x2 =8.25,10.03,all P＜0.05),with the statistically significant difference.The improved method was slightly higher than the traditional method in SPE,NPV and DF (x2 =2.39,3.45,4.03,all P＞0.05),with the no statistically significant difference.Conclusion The precision,diagnostic sensitivity and diagnostic specificity of the improved method was higher than that of the traditional method,and it can be applied to the detection of large batch samples with the aid of the full automatic enzyme immunoassay instrument.The improved method can be used to replace the traditional method for syphilis screening.

AIM:To investigate the effect of batroxobin on thromboxane A 2(TXA 2)level in canine heart ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and the cardioprotective mechanism of batroxobin against I/R injury. METHODS: Canine heart ischemia was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min followed by 90 min reperfusion.Batroxobin was intravenously administered before heart ischemia and 15 min before reperfusion.The level of plasma thromboxane (TXA 2) ,creatine phosphokinase (CK), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH ) and the concentration of myocardial TXA 2 were measured. The pathological changes in I/R myocardium were observed. RESULTS: In I/R group, TXA 2 levels of both plasma and myocardium increased significantly,and myocardium was injured obviously. Myocyte cells of central zone of I/R heart showed intracellular edema, swollen and damaged mitochondria, and fragmentation of cristae and concentrated nucleus. Plasma CK and LDH level was also elevated. Both ways of batroxobin administration reduced TXA 2 level apparently and plasma CK?LDH were also reduced significantly. LVEDP lowered while +dp/dt max elevated greatly,the mortality of I/R canine reduced obviously. CONCLUSION: Batroxobin decreased TXA 2 levels of both plasma and myocardium significantly, and could afford protection from I/R injury.
