Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2012;19(12):1781-1782
Objective To investigate the efficacy of metholrexate combined with rmifepristone and laparoscopic surgery for treating ectopic pregnancy.Methods 85 patient with ectopic pregnancy were selected.41 cases treated with methotrexate and mifeprisione were considered as the control group,while 44 cases with laparoscopic surgery were considered as the observalion group on the voluntary basis.The clinical efficacy,serum β-HCG value and recovery time after 7d were compared between the two groups.Results After the treatment,the cure rate in the observation group was 100% which was significantly higher than 90% of the control group ( P < 0.05 ),the serum β-HCG value of the observation group was lower and the restoration normal time was shorter than the control group ( P <0.05).Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery and conservative treatment of methotrexate combined with mifepristone are effective in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.However,the clinical efficacy of the laparoscopic surgery is better and it has rapid recovery time,and it can completely cure the patients.

Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2014;(8):1483-1488
[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToobservetheeffectofthesignalingpathwayofproteinkinaseC(PKC)-nuclearfactor-ery-throid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) on the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) in the rat airway epithelial cells .METHODS:After exposed to CSE , the airway epithelial cells of male SD rats were di-vided into control group , CSE3 group, RO318220 group, Nrf2 siRNA group and RO318220+Nrf2 siRNA group.The pro-tein levels of HO-1, Nrf2 and PKC were semi-quantified by Western blotting .The protein expression of HO-1 was assessed by immunocytochemistry .The mRNA expression of HO-1 was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) .Nrf2 protein location was observed by immunofluorescence staining .HO-1 activity was also determined .RE-SULTS:After exposure to CSE for 3 h, the Nrf2 protein was mainly located in the nucleus , and the expression level of Nrf2 protein in the nucleus was stronger than that in the control cells .CSE also significantly enhanced the levels of p-PKC protein, and HO-1 mRNA, protein and activity .Pretreatment with RO318220 significantly decreased the levels of PKC pro-tein, Nrf2 protein, and HO-1 mRNA, protein and activity.Meanwhile, Nrf2 protein significantly decreased , and the activ-ity, mRNA and protein levels of HO-1 were also significantly attenuated by pretreatment with siRNA to knock down Nrf2. Pretreatment with RO318220 and Nrf2 siRNA significantly decreased the PKC protein , Nrf2 protein, and HO-1 mRNA, protein and activity .CONCLUSION:CSE up-regulates the HO-1 expression through PKC-induced nuclear translocation of Nrf2 in the rat airway epithelial cells .

4.Protein kinase C-nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 regulating the expression of heme oxygenase-1 in rat airway epithelial cells
Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2014;(7):687-693
Objective:To observe the effect of the signaling pathway of protein kinase C (PKC)-nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) on the expression of heme oxygenase -1 (HO-1) induced by cigarette smoke extract in rat airway epithelial cells.Methods:The airway epithelial cells of 25 male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, a CSE3h group, a RO318220 group (PKC inhibitor), a Nrf2 siRNA group and a Nrf2 siRNA+RO318220 group, 5 rats in each group. hTe control group was incubated with DMEM/F12 alone. hTe CSE3h group was treated with 10% CSE for 3 h. hTe RO318220 group was pretreated with 3 μmol/L RO318220 for 0.5 h and subsequently treated with 10% CSE for 3 h. hTe Nrf2 siRNA group was pretreated with Nrf2 siRNA, and then treated with 10% CSE for 3 h. hTe Nrf2 siRNA+RO318220 group was pretreated with Nrf2 siRNA and 3 μmol/L RO318220 for 0.5 h, and then treated with 10% CSE for 3 h. hTe protein levels of Nrf2 in the nucleus and cytoplasm, and HO-1 and PKC in the whole cells were semi-quantified by Western blot. The protein expression of HO-1 was measured by immunocytochemistry. HO-1 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR. Immunolfuorescence staining was used to observe the nuclear translocatin of Nrf2. Results: CSE markedly induced Nrf2 nuclear translocation in the rat airway epithelial cells, and RO318220 pretreatment blocked the CSE induced Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Immunocytochemistry showed that HO-1 protein expression was strongly positive in the CSE3h group, weakly positive in the other 4 groups. hTe expression of PKC protein, HO-1 mRNA and protein signiifcantly increased in the CSE3h group, and HO-1 activity markedly improved in the CSE group (P<0.05). hTe level of PKC protein expression was not signiifcantly different in the Nrf2 siRNA group compared with that in the CSE3h group (P>0.05). Conclusion: CSE induces the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 by PKC signaling pathway, thus upregulating the HO-1 expression in the rat airway epithelial cells.

An artificial liver support system (ALSS) is a body circulatory system aims to blood purification, which consists of plasma exchange, hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, in combination with hemodiafiltration. The clinical application of non-biological artificial liver, especially plasma exchange technology, can solve the problem such as hyperbilirubinemia, endotoxemia, toxic substance accumulation and disorder of amino acid metabolism, which would save patients’ lives. ALSS can significantly improve the general physical condition, reduce operative risk, as well as relieve physiologic derangement after liver transplantation. Therefore, artificial liver serves as a bridge for liver transplantation. This paper analyzes the characteristics of ALSS, explores the methods of ALSS application in perioperative period of liver transplantation, and discusses its developing orientation.

Objective To study the protective role against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by using radix astra-gali in rats. Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups. Group A received saline as controls. Group B received radix astragali. Group C received injection of cisplatin(4 mg/kg) as experiments for 6 days. Group D received both radix astragali (5 g/kg) and cisplatin (4 mg/kg). Distortion product acoustic emission (DPOAE) was applied to each rat before and 7 days after cisplatin injection. All the animals were sacrificed on the 7th day. Half of the cochleas were observed by frozen section and the apoptosis of hair cells was detected by TUNEL meth-od. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to evaluate the cochlear morphology of the other rats. Results The DPOAE amplitudes of Group C decreased significantly compared to the group A and group B(P<0.01). The dam-age and apoptosis of hair cells were noted in the group C and group D, while the hair cells of group A and group B showed no sign of apoptosis or damage. Compare to experimental group , the DPOAE amplitudes of group D were higher, and the damage and apoptosis of hair cells were significantly lower(P<0.05). Conclusion This study sug-gests that radix astragali can effectively reduce cisp[atin ototoxicity.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether shear stress could promote function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) with Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) treatment in vitro, and to study whether shear stress contributed to vascular injury repair by EPCs. EPCs were isolated and characterized; EPCs' proliferation, migration, adhesion, tube formation and eNOS protein level in vitro were investigated by culturing confluent EPCs in 4 mg/mL SBP under physiological shear stress (15 dyne/cm2) for up to 24 hours. Afterwards, EPCs were transfused into rats after wire-induced carotid artery injury augmented re-endothelialization. The results showed that, compared to the SBP group, the shear stress+SBP group obviously enhanced EPCs proliferation, migration, adhesion, tube formation and eNOS protein expression in vitro (P<0.01). After one week, immunofluorescence staining showed that endothelial regeneration rate obviously enhanced in shear stress+SBP group (P<0.01). The present study demonstrates that shear stress can promote function of endothelial progenitor cells treated with SBP, which improves the vascular injury repair potentials of EPCs.
