AIM:To compare the effect of 1,2-propanediol (PROH) and ethylene glycol (EG) on apoptosis and expressions of P53,Bcl-2 of follicles in human ovarian tissue,in order to offer experimental foundation for selecting the best cryoprotectant. METHODS:Biopsies of ovarian tissue obtained from 12 women were cryopreserved,and ovarian tissue slice from each woman was divided into three groups:fresh control group,ethylene glycol group and 1,2-propanediol group. The slow-freezing /rapid-thawing protocol was used to freeze and thaw the slice of ovarian cortex. Apoptosis of follicles in fresh and frozen-thawed ovarian cortical tissue was detected by TUNEL experiment,and expressions of P53 and Bcl-2 were detected by immuno-histochemistry. RESULTS:The percentages of apoptosis follicles were 14.58%,23.08%,30.43% in fresh control group,PROH group and EG group,respectively,and the percentage of apoptosis follicles in EG group was higher than that in fresh control group (P0.05). The percentages of P53 positive follicles were 13.48%,25.00% and 33.93%,respectively. There was significant difference between fresh control and EG group (P0.05). CONCLUSION:The results of this study indicate that 1.5 mol/L PROH is more suitable for cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue rather than 1.5 mol/L EG in slow-freezing /rapid-thawing protocol. The protocol of slow-freezing/ rapid-thawing may preserve oocytes well,but it is not ideal for cryopreservation of granulosa cells. Cryopreservation may influence on apoptosis of follicles in human ovarian tissue.

Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) E2 protein eukaryotic expression plasmid pVAXE2 was constructed. The plasmid pVAXE2 was transformed into Salmonella choleraesuis C500 (S. C500) attenuated vaccine strain by electroporation to generate Salmonella choleraesuis engineering strain S. C500/pVAXE2. The characterization of S. C500/pVAXE2 in morphology, growth, biochemistry and serology indicated that it retained the same properties as its original strain S. C500 with exception of kanamycin resistance originated from the plasmid pVAXE2. The plasmid stable in the bacteria after 15 passages. Kunming mice and rabbits were vaccinated three times at two weeks interval with S. C500/pVAXE2 in oral and intramuscular routes at the dosage of 1 x 10(8) CFU for mice and 2 x 10(9) CFU for rabbits each time. The specific antibody response against CSFV and Salmonella choleraesuis was detected by ELISA. Two weeks after the third boost the immunized rabbits were challenged with 20 ID50 of hog cholera lapinized virus (HCLV), followed by a virulent strain of Salmonella choleraesuis two week later than HCLV challenge. The results showed that all immunized mice and rabbits produced significant antibodies against CSFV and Salmonella choleraesuis, and the immunized rabbits demonstrated the effective protection against the challenge of HCLV and virulent Salmonella choleraesuis. These results indicated the potential of developing multiplex swine DNA vaccine by using this bacteria as the vector.

OBJECTIVETo explore the inflammatory cascade mechanism through Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) pathway after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, and to study molecular mechanisms of Guanmaitong (GMT) Tablet for protecting brain damage.
METHODSWe used bolt-line method to block/release the middle cerebral artery, causing cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model. GMT Tablet was given by gastrogavage. Rats were then divided into the high dose GMT group (1200 mg/kg), the middle dose GMT group (600 mg/kg), the low dose GMT group (300 mg/kg), the positive control group (Tanakan, 20 mg/kg). Their right brain tissues were fixed in 10% neutral formalin. TLR2 expressions were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The total protein was extracted from right brain tissues by ultrasonica- tion. Expression levels of extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK), phospho-extracellular regulated protein kinases (p-ERK), p38-mitogen activated protein kinases (p-ERK), phospho-p38-mitogen activated protein kinases [p-p38-MAPKs(p-p38)] were assessed by Western blot. Abdominal aortic blood was withdrawn. IL-6 and IL-1β levels were detected by ELISA in brain tissues and serum.
RESULTSCompared with the sham-oepration group, expression levels of TLR2, ERK, p-ERK, p38, p-p38 protein were up-regulated (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and contents of IL-6 and IL-1β in brain tissues and serum were increased in the model group (P < 0.01). Expression levels of TLR2, ERK, p-ERK, p38, p-p38 were down-regulated (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and contents of IL-6 and IL-1β were reduced in brain tissues and serum in middle and high dose GMT groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSTLR2 pathway was involved in cerebral I/R injury. GMT protected neurons by down-regulating protein expressions of TLR2, ERK, p-ERK, p38, p-p38 and contents of IL-1β and IL-6.

BACKGROUND: K+ channel opener has been considered as a vasorelaxing agent working through hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle cells. Renal tubules-proximal, thick ascending limb of Henle and cortical collecting duct-are the site of the diversity of the K+ channel. ATP-sensitive K+ channel has been observed in the apical membranes of the thick ascending limb of Henle and collecting duct, and basolateral membrane of the proximal tubule. It was also shown that K+ channel opener increased renal hemodynamics and elicited diuretic and natriuretic effects. METHODS: To clarify the renal effects of WAY120491, a K+ channel opener, experiments were performed in unanesthetized normotensive and renal hypertensive rabbits allowing unilateral renal arterial infusion of agent. RESULTS: Intrarenal arterial infusion (0.13, 0.32 and 0.64 microgram/kg/min) of WAY120491 increaased CPAH, CCr, urine volume, UNaV, UKV and CH2O. Renal hemodynamic effects and increments of urine volume and free water clearance were completely blocked by glibenclamide (8.2 g/kg/min), while increments of UNaV and FENa were not significantly affected. Renal hemodynamic and tubular effects of WAY120491 were not significantly different in two-kidney one clip Goldblatt hypertensive rabbits from sham-operated rabbits. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that WAY120491 elicits renal effects through ATP-sensitive K+ channel in the renal vasculatures and renal tubules and the renal effects of WAT120491 may not be altered in the hypertension.

To investigate the immunophenotypic characteristics of multiple myeloma (MM) cells, 20 bone marrow samples from patients with multiple myeloma were analyzed by flow cytometry with three-color direct immunofluorescence staining. Results showed that all of myeloma cells expressed bright CD38, dim or negative CD45 and negative CD19. Most of the cells were CD56(+) and a small portions were ckappa(+) or clambda(+), or CD20(+). The phenotypes of normal plasmocyte, CD19(+) and CD56(-), except CD56(-) in one-third samples, were not appeared in all detected samples. It was concluded that the surface marker analysis of myeloma cells is a useful tool for diagnosis and further evaluating prognosis of multiple myeloma.
