Objective To observe the effect of small interfering RNA(siRNA)expression plasmids targeting transforming growth factor p receptor(TαR)Ⅰ gene on the collagen synthesis of hepatic stellate cells(HSCs).Methods Three siRNA expression plasmids were designed and constructed according to TBR Ⅰ sequence.Then the plasmids were transfected into HSC-T6 using 1ipofectamine2000 reagent. The mRNA and protein expressions of TβR Ⅰ were analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blot technique, respectively. The cell proliferation was detected using methylthiazo-lyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide(MTT)methods. Concentrations of haluronic acid and type Ⅲ pro-collagen in the supernatants were determined by radioimmunoassay. The data were analyzed using least significant difference(LSD).Results Three recombinant plasmids expressing siRNAs were successfully constructed and confirmed by restriction enzyme assay. Compared with the blank control,all the three recombinant plasmids could inhibit the expressions of TβR Ⅰ mRNA,of which plasmid expressing siRNA2 exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect(psiRNA1 group:t=7.354,P<0.01;psiRNA2 group:t=9.214,P<0.01;psiRNA3 group:t=5.967,P<0.01).The expressions of TβR Ⅰ protein were also reduced by all the three recombinant plasmids,of which the plasmid expressing siRNA2 showed the strongest inhibitory effect(psiRNA1 group: t=6.324,P<0.01;psiRNA2 group:t=8.741,P<0.01;psiRNA3 group:t=4.128,P<0.01).The proliferation activity and collagen synthesis of HSCs also decreased in all three HSC groups treated with recombinant plasmids, of which, again, plasmid expressing siRNA2 exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect. However, no significant change was observed in HSCs transfected with non-related siRNA. Conclusion Recombinant plasmids targeting TβR I can inhibit collagen synthesis, which suggests a novel target for gene therapy of liver fibrosis.

Objective To observe the changes of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in typeⅡdiabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) before and after interventional therapy, and to investigate the effects of oxidative stress level and interventional treatment on serum SOD level. Methods During the period from July 2011 to December 2012 at authors’ hospital, a total of 40 patients with type Ⅱ angiography together with balloon dilation and/or stenting was carried out in 24 patients (group B, with Fontaine stage of Ⅱb - Ⅲ). Of the 24 patients in group B, lower limb arterial angiography together with balloon dilation was employed in 16 (group B1) and lower limb arterial angiography together with balloon dilation and stenting was adopted in 8 (group B2). Twenty healthy clinical subjects were used as control group (group C). Before interventional treatment, elbow venous blood samples of patients in group A and B were collected to determine serum lipid, HbA1c and SOD levels. The same tests were also carried out in the subjects of group C. During percutaneous lower extremity arterial intervention , through arterial sheath 3 ml arterial blood specimen was collected in all patients of both group A and B before intervention started. Twenty-four hours after the treatment, venous blood specimen was also collected in all patients to determine serum SOD levels. The results were statistically analyzed. Results Lower limb arterial angiography showed that no obvious arterial stenosis was seen in the patients of group A. The interventional procedures were all successfully completed in all patients of group B. SOD levels of group A, B and C were (46.1 ± 3.13)U/ml, (35.37 ± 3.58)U/ml and (60.50 ± 6.99)U/ml respectively. SOD levels of both group A and B were significantly lower than that of group C (t = 8.420, P < 0.01; t = 14.324, P < 0.01). The level of SOD in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (t = 10.092, P < 0.01). The ankle-brachium indexes (ABI) of group A, B and C were (0.70 ± 0.12), (0.58 ± 0.13) and (1.15 ± 0.07) respectively. ABI of group A and B was significantly lower than that of group C (t = 14.324, P < 0.01; t = 17.392, P < 0.01). ABI of group B was significantly lower than that of group A (t=3.027, P<0.05). SOD level bore a negative correlation with HbA1c level (r=-0.541, P<0.01). In both group A and group B, no significant difference in SOD level existed between the venous blood and arterial blood. The preoperative arterial SOD levels in group B1 and group B2 were (35.70 ± 3.04)U/ml, and (36.07 ± 2.14)U/ml respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. The preoperative SOD levels in the ischemic arterial region in group B1 and group B2 were (32.95 ± 3.52)U/ml and (33.59 ± 2.64)U/ml respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant although these levels were significantly lower than the preoperative arterial SOD levels(t=2.741, P<0.05; t=2.704, P<0.05). After the interventional treatment, the SOD levels in the ischemic arterial region in group B1 and group B2 were (29.40 ± 5.49)U/ml and (26.68 ± 2.31)U/ml respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant although these levels were significantly lower than the preoperative SOD levels in the ischemic arterial region (t = 2.536, P < 0.05; t = 5.005, P < 0.01). No statistically significant differences in SOD levels at each corresponding site existed between group B1 and group B2. Conclusion No significant difference in SOD level exists between the venous blood and the arterial blood. Serum SOD level carries a negative linear correlation with HbA1c level. Before interventional treatment , the SOD level in ischemic region is low, which becomes lower after the interventional procedure, which may be caused by the enhanced oxidative stress reaction that is resulted from the damage of the vascular wall due to interventional manipulations. The enhanced oxidative stress reaction may play an important role in the occurrence of restenosis.

Objective To study the effect of 125Iodine seed on the rabbit ischiadic nerve at different time point after implantation. Methods Thirty healthy New-Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned into 3 groups( 2-week group, 2-month group and 4-month group) using envelope method. During operation, 10 radioactive 125I seeds were implanted randomly near one of the ischiadic nerve, while 10 non-radioactive seeds were implanted into the contralateral ischiadie nerve. According to treatment plan system(TPS),90% of the prescription dose (PD)was centered in the specific place, where the nerves were chosen to be studied. After 2 weeks, 2 months and 4 months respectively, nerve electro-physiolngy experiment was used to evaluate the bilateral ischiadic nerves, at the same time the morphology of the ischiadic nerve was examined by general observation, light microscope and electron microscope. The electron microscope photo with the same ×4000 amplification was divided into 100( 10 × 10) cages and non-specific changes in one cage account for 1%. The t test and sum rank test were used for statistics. Results Potential leaking point of experimental ischiadic nerves near heart in 2-week group ,2-month group and 4-month group were (0.52± 0.26), (0.60±0.19), (0.48±0.17)V, while that of the control sides were (0.59±0.19), (0.60± 0.15), (0.53±0.13 ) V, there was no statistical significance in the same group respectively (t=0.91, 0.03,0.67,P>0.05). Potential leak point of experimental ischiadic nerves far from heart in 2-week group, 2-month group and 4-month group were (0.51±0.15), (0.52 s0. 11 ), (0. 53±0.15) V,the control sides were (0.52±0.10), (0.56±0.12), (0.54±0.10)V, there was no statistical significance in the same group respectively (t= 0.25,0.74,0.17, P > 0.05 ). Action potential amplitude of experimental ischiadic nerves near heart in 2-week group,2-menth group and 4-month group were (13.18±4.09), (12.78± 4.42), (12.09±1.20) mV, while that of the control sides were (10.55± 4.21 ), ( 10.31±4.22), (12.88±3.54) mV, there was no statistical significance in the same group respectively (t=1.57,1.36, 0.50,P>0.05). Action potential amplitude of experimental ischiadic nerves far from heart in 2-week group,2-month group and 4-month group were (11.18±3.38), (11.68±3.21), ( 12.52±3.09) mV, while that of the control sides were (11.56±4.80), (10.71±3.40), (11.67±2.48) mV ,there was no statistical significance in the same group respectively(t=0.29,1.01,0.55, P>0.05 ). Nerve conduction velocity of experimental ischiadic nerves in 2-week group,2-month group and 4-month group were (40.56± 9.46), (38.79±5.78), (39.44±8.64) m/V, the control sides were (42.56±6.59), (44.64±7.53), (43.33±6.05)m/V, there was no statistical significance in the same group respectively( t = 0.57,1.94, 0.01,P>0.05). There were some changes in general observation and light microscope, in electron microscope, many non-specificity changes were observed. All of these changes included delamination, collapse, disaggregation of the myelinated nerve, mitochondria swelling and vacuolization of neurilemma cell and axon. The ratio of degenerative alterations in nerves was 60% --70% in 2-week group, 50% in 2-month group and 30% in 4-month group, and there was statistical significance among three groups (P<0.05). Conclusion 125I permanent plantation in our test dose has little effect on ischiadic nerve, all these non-specificity changes were observed in electron microscope, and it has no evident impacts on physiological functions.
