Objective To investigate significance of interferon-γ/interleukin-4(IFN-γ/IL-4) and macrophages in uterus in early embryo loss (or resorption), and to elucidate the anti-abortive effect and the immunological modulation at maternal-fetal interface with quercetin and bornvl acetate. Methods Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)(0.10μg/mouse)was injected via tail vein in order to induce abortion in 7-day-gestation mice which received quercetin and bornvl acetate at days 4-7 of gestation. Levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 in uterus lysate supernatant were measured using enzyme-linked immuno-absorbent assay (ELISA), and uterine macrophages of each group ( n =10) were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The amount of macrophages was much higher in the uteri of LPS-induced abortion mice than that in control mice. The abortion rate of mouse declined to certain level. The therapy of quercetin combined with bornyl acetate reversed LPS-induced abortion. Conclusion The increase of IFN-γ/IL-4 and the amount of macrophages in the LPS-treated mouse uterus is associated with the embryo loss, and quercetin and bornyl acetate have the anti-abortive effect through modulation of maternal-fetal interface immunity balance.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improvement effect of lanthanum hydroxide on chronic renal failure (CRF) hyperphos-phatemia in rats. METHODS:CRF hyperphosphatemia rat model were induced and then randomly divided into model group,lan-thanum carbonate group [0.3 g/(kg·d)],calcium carbonate group [4.2 g/(kg·d)] and lanthanum hydroxide high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups [1.5,1,0.5 g/(kg·d)] with 10 rats in each group. They were given adenine 0.2 g/(kg·d)intragastrically in the morning,and then given relevant medicine intragastrically in the afternoon;a week later,they stopped taking adenine but con-tinued to take relevant medicine for 22 d. 10 normal rats were selected as normal control group. General examination was conduct-ed,and renal coefficient,serum contents of calcium,phosphorus,PTH,creatinine(Scr)and usea nitrogen(BUN)were detected after last medication as well as renal pathological change. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,model group showed CRF sign,renal coefficient,the contents of phosphorus,PTH,Scr and BUN were increased,while the content of calcium was de-creased(P<0.01);renal section showed obvious pathological characteristics. Compared with model group,CRF sign of rats were improved in lanthanum carbonate group,calcium carbonate group and lanthanum hydroxide groups. The renal coefficient (except for lanthanum hydroxide high-dose group),serum contents of phosphorus(except for calcium carbonate group),PTH(except for lanthanum hydroxide low-dose group and calcium carbonate group),Scr(except for lanthanum hydroxide low-dose group and calci-um carbonate group)and BUN were all decreased,while serum content of calcium and calcium-phosphorucs product(only in calci-um carbonate group)was increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in other difference. The renal sec-tion pathological characteristics were improved. CONCLUSIONS:Lanthanum hydroxide can improve renal function and reduce the level of serum phosphorus in CRF hyperphosphatemia model rats.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of serum sialic acid for glioma.Methods A retrospective study was conducted.The levels of sialic acid in serum samples of 95 glioma patients, 175 patients with brain benign tumor and 400 normal persons from October 2014 to March 2015 were detected by automatic biochemistry analyzer using enzymic method.The SNK-q test and analysis of variance were used to compare the difference of the groups.By making receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve, the cut-off value, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated to assess the diagnostic value of serum salivary acid.Then the cut-off value was validated by using the serums of 30 glioma patients and 30 normal persons who were out-patients and healthy controls.Results The levels of serum sialic acid in patients with gliomas, patients with brain benign tumor and healthy individuals were (0.66 ±0.14 ) g/L, (0.61 ±0.09 )g/L, (0.54 ±0.07 )g/L.The serum salivary acid of glioma patients were higher than brain benign tumor patients (q=6.74,P<0.05) and normal persons (q=16.42,P<0.05), and there was no significant difference (F=1.67,P>0.05) among the glioma patients of different grades (8 of gradeⅠ,32 of gradeⅡ,24 of grade Ⅲ,31 of grade Ⅳ).There was no significant difference between the low grade patients (gradeⅠandⅡ) and the high grade patients (gradeⅢandⅣ) (t=0.55, P>0.05), but the level of serum sialic acid of high grade group had an increasing trend than the low grade group.The area under the ROC curves was 0.79.The cut-off value of serum salivary acid for diagnosing glioma was 0.61 g/L.The sensitivity was 67.74%, and the specificity was 80.60%.The positive predictive value was 44.68%, and the negative predictive value was 90.76%.Then the cut-off value was used as a diagnostic criteria, and the detected results of 30 glioma patients and 30 normal persons showed that the sensitivity was 63.30% and the specificity was 83.30%.Conclusions The serum sialic acid has good specificity and negative predictive value for diagnosing glioma.It may be a valuable diagnostic marker.
