Objective:To observe the effect of thyroid hormones on 11?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1(11?-HSD1) in newborn rats' hippocampus. Methods: Hypothyroid model was induced with propylthiouracil(PTU, 50 mg/d) in SD rats in the last week of pregnancy and was confirmed by measuring the levels of thyroid hormones and thyrotropin(TSH) in the newborn rats' blood. Western blot was used to determine the expression of 11?-HSD1 in hippocampus in newborn rats. Effects of triiodothyronine(T 3) and synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone(Dex) on expression of 11?-HSD1 in primarily- cultured hippocampus were studied with thin layer chromatography(TLC) and Western blot. Results: Thyroid hormone levels decreased and TSH level increased in the newborn rats' blood. The expression of 11?-HSD1 decreased by 41.6% in the hippocampus of newborn rats born to the mothers treated with PTU. T 3(10 -9 ,10 -8 ,10 -7 mol/L) and Dex(10 -7 mol/L) up-regulated the activity of 11?-HSD1 by 29.4%,45.6%,60.9% and 39.8%,respectively. T 3(10 -9 ,10 -8 ,10 -7 mol/L) and Dex(10 -7 mol/L) increased the expression of 11?-HSD1 protein by 26.0%,43.2%,64.9% and 41.1%,respectively.Synergistic effect of T 3 and DEX was observed in terms of regulating 11?-HSD1: the expression of 11?-HSD1 increased by 123.3% in the hippocampal neurons exposed to both Dex(10 -7 mol/L) and T 3 (10 -7 mol/L) and the activity increased by 114.1%. Conclusion:Thyroid hormone can up-regulate the expression of 11?-HSD1 in the hippocampus during brain maturation either by itself or synergistically with glucocorticoid, thereby enhancing the action of glucocorticoids on the brain.

A L-arginine-producing mutant UN100-12(SG~(r),AE~(r)) was derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC138761 by combination treatment with ultraviolet(UV) and N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(NTG). It could accumulate 16.6g/L L-arginine in the medium containing glucose as carbon source and ammonium sulfate as nitrogen source, when it was culrured at 30℃ for 4 days. And also this mutant has good stability of descendiblity of L-arginine.

Estrogen receptor(ER),an important transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily,comprises two subtypes ER?and ER?.Estrogen receptor is expressed in prostate cancer and ladder cancer and has a compacted relationship with them.In this review,we summarized the structure,distri- bution,function of different estrogen receptor subtypes and progress in study on relationship between different estrogen receptor subtypes and prostate or bladder cancer.

A possible ?-Galactosidase gene(pwtsA) was discovered from soil metagenomic DNA of Taishan Mountain.PwtsA gene was inserted into the expression vector pET30a and transferred into E.coli BL21(DE3).Recombinant protein PWTSA was expressed as a soluble form at high level through IPTG induction,with a molecular mass of 57 kD analyzed by SDS-PAGE.PWTSA can produce o-nitrophenol from o-nitrophenol-?-D-galactopyranoside(ONPG),and its specific activity was determined as 13.6 U/mg.The enzymatic studies demonstrated that the recombinant protein PWTSA was a thermostable ?-Galactosidase,its optimum temperature and pH were 85?C～95?C and 6.5 respectively.In standard assays,the Km for ONPG was 0.83 mmol/L.

Objective Vimentin is the major protein consisting of intermediate filaments in normal and neoplastic mesenchymal cells.It has been regarded as a marker of epithelial mesenchymal transition( EMT) .How-ever,little is known about colorectal cancer( CRC) with Vimentin expression as a marker of EMT and prognosis. Methods We investigated the expression of Vimentin in CRC tissues and determined the correlations between Vimentin expression patterns and clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis in CRC.In total,189 patients di-agnosed with CRC based on histopathological evaluation and those subjected to surgical resection at the Liaoning Province Cancer Hospital and Institute between 2000 and 2002 were examined.Immunohistochemical staining for Vimentin was performed for each specimen.Results Positive expression of Vimentin was significantly associated with the lymph node metastasis(pN stage,P=0.038),TNM stage(P=0.024).Survival analysis revealed that positive Vimentin expression was significantly related to poor prognosis ( P =0.016 ) .Multivariate analysis re-vealed that Vimentin expression was an independent prognostic factor for patient survival in colorectal cancer ( P=0.026) .Conclusion In conclusion,our data provide novel evidence for the clinical significance of Vimentin ex -pression as potential predictive biomarkers for identifying patients with lymph node metastasis or poor prognosis in CRC.

Objective This study assesses the influence of rizatriptan on calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP),proenkephalin (PENK) and cholecystokinin (CCK) mRNA expressions in the trigeminal ganglia of a rat migraine model and investigates the possible mechanisms by which triptans treat migraine.Methods A total of 24 rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal control group (A),migraine model group(B),rizatriptan control group (C) and rizatriptan treatment group(D).Groups C and D were intragastrically perfused with rizatriptan,1 mg/kg per day.After 7 days,nitroglycerin was subcutaneously injected into the buttocks of the groups B and D to induce migraine.Two hours after nitroglycerin injection,the trigeminal ganglia was isolated.CGRP,PENK and CCK mRNA expressions in the trigeminal ganglia were determined using SYBR Green Ⅰ real-time quantitative PCR.Results The copy number of CGRP mRNA (× 107) in 200 ng total RNA of each group was 0.05 ±0.01,1.30 ±0.52,0.23 ±0.12,0.43 ±0.33 ; The copy number of PENK mRNA (× 103) in 200 ng total RNA of each group was 3.30 ± 1.65,0.34 ±0.14,3.91 ± 2.44,0.71 ± 0.13.The copy number of CGRP mRNA in the trigeminal ganglia of group B was significantly higher than that of group A (q =7.854,P ＜ 0.05) ; CGRP mRNA expressions were significantly lower in the trigeminal ganglia of rats in group D compared with group B (q =5.458,P ＜0.05).Compared with group A,PENK mRNA expressions in the trigeminal ganglia of rats were significantly lower in group B (q =4.478,P ＜ 0.05).PENK mRNA expressions were significantly higher in trigeminal ganglia of rats in group C compared with group D (q =4.838,P ＜ 0.05).CCK mRNA expression in trigeminal ganglia of rats was similar among groups.Conelusions Rizatriptan can decrease the expressions of CGRP in the trigeminal ganglia of the migraine rats and exhibits neurogenic inflammation triggered by CGRP.PENK expressions decrease in the trigeminal ganglia of the migraine rats,weaken the analgesic effects of enkephalin.

The pathologic changes of cerebral tissues in hypothyroidism and the molecular mechanism of brain development influenced by lower thyroid hormone levels are reviewed.

Objective To investigate the relation between paraoxonase (PON) 1 Q191R gene polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with hypertension. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. The studied DNA was amplified by PCR, and then digested with the restriction endonuclease AlwⅠ and separated on 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. PON activity was estimated by spectrophotometer. Serum insulin and C-peptide were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results The frequencies of QQ genotype and Q allele in type 2 diabetes mellitus with hypertension group were significantly higher than those in type 2 diabetes mellitus group (P
