Aim To Study the inhibition mechanism of edelfosine on cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Methods To observe the inhibition of cytokinesis and growth, the experiments of inhibition of cyto-kinesis and parallel growth were carried out. To explore the inhibition mechanism of edelfosine, the experiment of retransfection of yeast genes was carried out. Results Edelfosine inhibited the cytokinesis of S.pombe in low dosage and cell growth in high dosage. The mid2△、spm1△ and pmp1△ strains were resistant to edelfosine in high dosage. However, these strains retrieved the sensitive to edelfosine in high dosage by retransfected the relevant genes, respectively. A reciprocal action, which was the Mid2p induced the phosphorylated Spm1, while the Pmp1 dephosphorylated Spm1, existed among the Spm1、Mid2 and Pmp1 in S.pombe treated with edelfosine. Conclusion The inhibition of edelfosine on cytokinesis and cell growth due to the effect of Spm1、Mid2 and Pmp1.

Objective To study the changes of interferon ( IFN )- γ ,interleukin(IL)-4 and IL-6 in endometriosis. Method The levels of peripheral blood IFN-γ ,IL-4 and IL-6 in 25 patients with endometriosis (EM group) and 20 normal adults (control group) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The level of peripheral blood IFN- γ in EM group [(109.64±26.79 ) ng/L] was lower than that in control group [(155.17±30.36) ng/L] (P ＜ 0.05 ), IL-4[(33.52 ± 8.69)ng/L]and IL-6 [(44.12 ± 3.57) ng/L] were higher than those in control group [(22.52 ± 6.54), ( 15.12 ±2.63 )ng/L](P＜0.05 ).The ratio of IFN-γ/II-4(3.27±1.45 ) and IFN- γ/IL-6 ( 1.15 ± 0.56 ) in EM group were significantly lower than those in control group (6.89 ±1.68,2.54 ±1.03)(P ＜0.01 or ＜0.05).Conclusions Th1 cells shift toward Th2 cells in patients with endometriosis. Th1/Th2 ratio may be correlated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Objective To discuss the relationship between matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP-9) and the pathogenesis of preeclampsia , birth weight and placental weight , through detecting the expression of MMPS-9 in the placenta of the patients with preeclampsia. Methods The levels of MMP-9 in the placenta were detected by immunohistochemical SP method in 60 patients with preeclampsia and 30 pregnancy women. Results (1) The optical density value of MMP-9 in preeclampsia group was lower than the control group , the optical density value of MMP-9 in SPE group was lower than the MPE group (P < 0.05). (2) The placenta weight and birth weight in preeclampsia group were lower than the control group , the placenta weight and birth weight in SPE group was lower than the MPE group (P < 0.05). (3) The expression level of MMP-9 were positively correlated with placental weight and birth weight (P < 0.05) in the control group. (4) The average optical density value of MMP-9 in neonatus with weight < 2 500 g was lower than neonatus with weight≥2 500 g (P < 0.05). Conclusion The MMP-9 in the placenta of patients with preeclampsia was down-regulated , and its expression was abate when the illness grew worse. The MMP-9 may be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia , and it is associated with fetal growth restriction.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Yanggan Lidan Granule (YGLDG), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine for nourishing liver and improving choleresis, on the rate of gallstone formation and content of plasma cholecystokinin in guinea pigs with induced cholesterol gallstones. METHODS: Eighty guinea pigs were randomly divided into 4 groups, which were normal control group, untreated group, YGLDG-treated group and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-treated group (n=20). Except the normal control group, gallstones were induced by high-cholesterol diet in the guinea pigs. YGLDG (1.81 g/kg daily) and UDCA (30.12 mg/kg daily) were given orally to guinea pigs in the corresponding group respectively for seven weeks; however, the guinea pigs of normal control group and untreated group were administered with normal saline. The physical signs of the guinea pigs and the rates of gallstone formation were examined, and the content of cholecystokinin (CCK) in the plasma was detected by radio-immunoassay. RESULTS: YGLDG could obviously improve the ethological signs of the guinea pigs. Gallstone formation rate of the untreated group (82.35%) was significantly increased as compared with that of the normal control group (5.26%) (P<0.01), while the gallstone formation rates of the YGLDG-treated group (27.28%) and UDCA-treated group (38.89%) were lower than that of the untreated group (P<0.05). The content of CCK in plasma of the untreated group was significantly lower than that of the normal control group (P<0.01), while CCK content of the YGLDG-treated group and UDCA-treated group was lower than that of the normal control group, but both of them were significantly higher than that of the untreated group (P<0.01). The difference of CCK levels between YGLDG-treated group and UDCA-treated group had no statistical significance (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: YGLDG can significantly decrease the rate of gallstone formation in guinea pigs. It may be related to elevating the content of CCK in the plasma.

Objective To explore the corelations between trace protein in urine and early kidney damage in gestational hypertension disease.Methods 126 patients with gestational hypertension disease were selected as the observation group,and 100 cases of healthy pregnant women over the same period were selected as the control group.The urinary albumin content of pregnant women in the two groups was detected and compared.Results In the observation group,the content of urinary albumin was (34.86 ± 18.41) mg/L,and positive patients in 56 cases,negative in 70 cases.In the control group,the content of urinary albumin was (18.64 ± 16.45)mg/L,and positive patients in 12cases,negative in 88 cases.The differences of the urinary albumin content and positive rates between the two groups were statistically significant(t =6.89,x2 =27.90,all P ＜ 0.05) ;The systolic blood pressure of urinary albumin-positive patients and negative patients in the observation groups were (155.6 ± 18.4) mm Hg,(146.3 ± 18.7)mm Hg,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (t =2.79,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Urinary albumin testing during pregnancy can effectively determine the existence of early renal damage in patients with gestational hypertension disease,and it can help to judge the severity of gestational hypertension disease.

Objective:To observe the anatomic characteristics of supratubal recess and the morphological change of it in the sick ear. To investigate the relation between the morphological changes of supratubal recess and otitis media.Method:Using high resolution CT to observe and measure the supratubal recess of the normal ears and the ailing ones.Result:For the normal adults, the anteroposterior diameter of the supratubal recess is(3.83±1.28)mm,the vertical diameter(3.67±1.14)mm,the height(3.76±0.36)mm;and the length of the cog is(2.84±0.38)mm.The size of the supratubal recess showed no significant difference between left and right(P＞0.05).There was no relationship between the size of the supratubal recess and pneumatization of mastoid cells (P＞0.05).There was significant differences in size of the supratubal recess between normal ears and the ears with cholesteatoma(P＜0.05),but there was no relationship between the size of the supratubal recess and pneumatization of mastoid cells(P＞0.05)in the ears with cholesteatoma.There was no significant differences in size of the supratubal recess between normal ears and the ears with chronic otitis media(P＞0.05).In the ears with cholesteatoma,40% had osseous destruction in supratubal recess.Conclusion:For the normal adults, the size of the supratubal recess showed no significant difference between left and right, and there was no relationship between the size of the supratubal recess and pneumatization of mastoid cells. Anterior tympanic isthmus , posterior tympanic isthmus and supratubal recess which is the supplement of the formers constitute the air way between attic and mesotympanum. The supratubal recess of the cholesteatoma is smaller than the normal, when the eustachian tube dysfunction occurs, the air way in the middle ear would herein be affected, and cholesteatoma forms eventually. There was no significant differences in size of the supratubal recess between normal ears and ears with chronic oti-tis media, as in the clinic.The effect of the supratubal recess should be taken into account when we consider the pathogeny and treatment of the middle ear cholesteatoma.
