Objective To prepare a detective membrane strip for detection of food allergen-specific IgE in serum samples and estimate its clinical application value in allergic diseases. Methods The crude extracts of the food allergens were prepared. Nitrocellulose membrane as the solid support was selected and the coating and the detecting conditions were optimized. The membrane strips were used to detect serum samples in 210 patients with allergic diseases and the results were compared with German Allergy Screentesting system. Results The optima] experimental conditions were as follows: The NC membrane was adopted as the solid support. After being spotted, the food allergens were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature, followed by 2% PVA blocking for 1 hour. After serum samples were diluted (1: 10) and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature, the concentration of anti-human IgE was 2 μg/mL Compared with the German Allergy Screen-testing system, their positive detectical coincidence was 63.6%, and negative detectical coincidence was 94. 6%. The two methods had no difference in detecting the majority of food allergens such as egg white, milk, peanut, soybean, crab and shrimp (X2 2.53, 2.40, 2.08, 2.38, 0.17,1.13, P>0.05). Conclusions The advantages of our method for detecting allergic diseases are little serum needed, multiple detective allergens, simple manipulation and low cost. This method has obvious clinical application value, which should be a new detective method for the allergic diseases with broad perspectives.

Objective To silence the expression of CTGF by small interfering RNA technology,to observe the influence on fibroblast?like synovial cell apoptosis and several apoptosis?related genes,and to explore the mechanism of action of CTGF in rheumatoid arthritis synovial lesions. Methods Effective CTGF siRNA was screened through real?time PCR. The influence of CTGF siRNA on FLS apoptosis was detected with FITC?PI double staining by flow cytometry. bax,bcl?xl and survivin were detected using real?time PCR when CTGF mRNA has been silenced. Results Compared with other 2 groups of oligo and NC oligo,H1 oligo exhibited the strongest interfering action to CTGF(inhibition ratio>70%),so that it is selected as the effective target gene sequence for the following experiment. Apoptosis of FLS induced by serum deprivation was significantly decreased in the presence of exogenous CTGF. When expression of the CTGFgene was knocked down in FLS,FLS apoptosis was significantly increased,and expres?sion levels of survivin mRNA were decreased significantly(P<0.01). Conclusion FLS survival is positively regulated by CTGF,which may through the sustaining the expression of survivin.

Objective To explore the possible roles of PI3K pathway and MAPK pathway in mediating the survival and differentiation-promoting effect of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF) on midbrain dopaminergic neurons.(Methods Midbrain) slices of early postnatal rats were cultured,the slices were divided into four groups according to the different substances added into the culture medium: i.e.blank control group,GDNF group,Wortmanin plus GDNF group,and PD98059 plus GDNF group.On the 6th day,some slices were fixed,embedded and sectioned.The sections were processed for tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) immunohistochemistry,and then examined under microscope to determine the morphologic index for statistic analysis(n=6).Meanwhile,some slices were taken for Western blot to examine the expression of TH protein in midbrain slices(n=4). Results GDNF group slices showed the morphologic maturity,the density and the diameter of TH positive neurons,as well as the level of TH expression,were all significantly higher than that of the control groups.The survival effect of GDNF on DA neurons was almost abolished when the PI3K pathway was blocked with Wortmannin;while the MAP kinase and ERK kinase(MEK) inhibitor PD 98059 was added to block the MAPK pathway,the diameter of TH positive neurons was decreased significantly.Conclusion The PI3K pathway might mediate the survival effect of GDNF,while the MAPK pathway seems to be involved in the differentiation process.

Objective To observe the proliferation and differentiation of the neural progenitors in the midbrain substantia nigra(SN) of adult rat when dopaminergic neurons(DA neurons) were destroyed. Methods The Parkinson disease model(PD model) was induced in adult SD rats by steriotaxic injection of 6-OHDA into the right striatum,and then assessed by behavioral analysis to screen the qualified models.After varied survival period,the brain of model rats were perfused and fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde,moved the segment of SN,embedded with paraffin and coronally sectioned continuously.The microsections were processed by immunohistochemistry labeling separately the neural progenitors with anti-nestin monoclonal antibody,the dividing cells with anti-PCNA(proliferation cell nuclear antigen),the neuronal precursors with anti-Tuj1(?-tubulin isotype Ⅲ),and DA neurons with anti-TH(tyrosine hydroxylase).The labeled cells were counted under microscope and analyzed statistically.(Results It) was found in the right SN of PD model rats that: 1.Nestin positive(Nestin~+) cells appeared 10d after 6-OHDA injection,became abundant on 14d,declined in number on 17d,and disappeared on 21d.2.Weakly positive PCNA(PCNA~+) cells appeared on 7d.PCNA~+ cells were abundant on 14d,decreased in number from 21d,with only a few positive cells noticed on 28d.3.Tuj1 positive cells appeared in small number on 10d,became abundant on 14d,decreased in number from 17d and dropped nearly to zero on 21d.4.The number of TH positive neurons was significantly less than the normal control(by 24%) on 7d,and became even less as time elapsed.Conclusion When 6-OHDA is injected into the striatum of adult rats to cause degeneration and death of the DA neurons there,there would be a certain period of time in which a number of neural progenitors will be induced to proliferate actively and differentiate toward neuronal cells(except DA neurons).

Objective To investigate the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the synthesis and secretion of collagen Ⅲ and fibronectin (FN), and the expressions of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) mRNA in cultured human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2).Methods HK-2 cells were cultured in DMEM-F12 medium supplemented with 5% FBS. Cells were exposed to different concentrations of PTH (0, 10-12, 10-11, 10-10, 10-9, 10-8 mol/L) for 48 h, or 10-8 mol/L PTH at different time (0, 12, 24, 48, 72 h). The gene expressions of collagen Ⅲ,FN, PAI-1, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The protein expression of collagen Ⅲ was detected by Western blotting. The level of FN in the supernatant was assayed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results PTH increased gene expressions of collagen Ⅲ, FN, PAI-1 and TIMP-1 in a dose- and time-dependent manner, but decreased MMP-1 gene expression. Then the ratio of MMP-1/TIMP-1 was decreased. PTH increased the collagen Ⅲ protein expression in cultured HK-2 cells and the level of FN in the supernatant of cultured HK-2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Conclusion PTH can up-regulate PAI-1, TIMP-1 gene expressions, and down-regulate MMP-1 gene expression,resulting in elevation of extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and reductim of degradation.
