OBJECTIVE:To establish a HPLC method for the determination of aristolochic acidⅠand aristolochic acid Ⅱin human serum.METHODS:The separation was performed on C 18 column(250mm?4.6mm,5?m).The mobile phase consisted of methanol-water-acetic(72∶27∶1)at a flow rate of1.0ml/min.The detection wavelength was250nm.RESULTS:The linear ranges for aristolochic acidⅠand aristolochic acid Ⅱ were0.84～13.50?g/ml(r=0.9997,n=5)and2.03～32.50?g/ml(r=0.9994,n=5),respectively.The lowest determination concentration of aristolochic acid Ⅰ and aristolochic acid Ⅱ were0.3?g/ml and0.1?g/ml,respectively.CONCLUSION:The method is simple and practicable,and it can provide basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of aristolochic acid nephropathy.

Objective To compare the expression of myocardial connexin 43(Cx43)mRNA and its protein during early and late cardioprotection stages of exercise preconditioning.Methods Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group,an exhaustive exercise(EE)group,an early exercise preconditioning + exhaustive exercise(EEP+EE)group and a late exercise preconditioning + exhaustive exercise (LEP+EE) group,each of 8.All groups were given intervention as their group name indicated.Then in situ hybridization and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR methods were used to detect the changes of myocardial Cx43mRNA and immunohistochemical method and Western blotting were used to detect the changes of Cx43 protein.Results Compared with EE group,there was significant increase in Cx43 mRNA and its protein expression in group EEP+EE and LEP+EE.Compared with EEP+EE group,no significant changes was found in situ hybridization and Cx43 Immunoreactivity in LEP+EE group,neither did significant differences in the expression of Cx43 mRNA and its protein.Conclusion EEP and LEP can significantly promote the expression of myocardial Cx43 mRNA and its protein respectively.However there is no significant changes of myocardial Cx43 mRNA and protein expression between the 2 time phases.It demonstrates that the expression of Cx43 in the early and late stage of myocardial protective effect was consistent with the changes of the early and late phase of the protective effect of EP.

Objective To study MRI manifestation of the non-diver bone infarction. Methods Six cases of non-diver bone infarction involved 18 bones totally, in which 15 bones were confirmed by surgical operation and pathology. All cases were examined by MRI through T 1WI, T 2WI, PDWI, FLASH T 2WI, and by X-ray plain film. Result (1) Major MRI manifestation was moderate signal intensity on T 1WI and inhomogenous high signal intensity on T 2WI in the centers of the foci whose margin were rugged and rough bands which were low signal intensity on T 1WI and two layers on T 2WI. (2) MRI manifestation was atypical when focus was small (

To study the effects of MRF4 transfection on differentiation and expression of myogenic regulatory factors of human rhabdomyosarcoma RD cells, the plasmid-MRF4 cDNA was transfected into cultured rhabdomyosarcoma RD cells with lipofectin method. The myogenic regulatory factors MRF4 and MyoD mRNA were measured with in situ hybridization and the expressions of myosin heavy chain(MHC) and a-actin in the cells were assayed with immunocytochemical method. The cell growth and morphology were observed at the same time. It was found that the morphology of differentiation increased and the growth was suppressed in RD cells after transfection. The expression of MHC and a-actin were significantly increased in RD cells after transfection, while the expressions of MRF4 and MyoD mRNA were up-regulated. It is suggested that transfection of MRF4 can induce differentiation of RD cells and up-regulate the expression of MyoD.

The clinical effect and T-lymphocyte subsets in patients were observed after being treated for 1,2 and 3 months, respectively. RESULTS: The sputum negative rates ((41.3)%, (63.0)%, and (80.4)%) and the X-ray resolution rates ((30.4)%, (50.0)%, and (67.4)%) of the M.vaccae group were superior to those ((12.1)%, (27.3)%, and (39.4)%, P

Objective To investigate the pathological features of airway remodeling and evaluate interventional effects of nerve growth factor (NGF) on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), an important mediator of airway remodeling, in guinea pig asthma model. Methods Guinea pigs were randomly divided into the control group, asthma group, and antibody NGF intervention group (each group had 8 guinea pigs). In the asthma group the animals were sensitized by repeated exposure to aerosolized ovalbumin combined with Al(OH)_3. The thickness of the smooth muscle of intrapulmonary bronchi was measured by image analysis system. The expression of MMP-9 in bronchi and lung tissues were assayed with immunohistochemistry combined with the micro-image analysis system. The levels of MMP-9 mRNA in bronchi and lung tissues were determined by RT-PCR. Results After repeated allergen challenge, obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells and proliferation of goblet cells and smooth muscle were demonstrated in guinea pig bronchi. Expression levels of MMP-9 in the epithelial cells of bronchi were significantly higher in asthmatic animals than those of control group animals. Compared with asthmatic group, there was mild inflammation reaction, and decrease in collagen deposition and expression of MMP-9 in antibody NGF group animals, and they were not significantly higher than that in control group animals. Conclusions Repeated exposure of allergen induced airway inflammation and remodeling. MMP-9 plays an important role in airway remodeling. Antibody NGF intervention could inhibit airway remodeling through inhibition of the expression of MMP-9.
