[Objective] To observe the effect of Baicalin on the expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) induced by chlamydia pneumoniae (CPN). [Methods] The endothelial cells of umbilical veins (ECV-304) was cultured in-vitro in 6-well culture plate (3 double-wells as a group). When a single layer formed, CPN or CPN + baicalin (0.48 g/L or 0.24 g/L) was added, serving as the model group and baicalin groups respectively. The wells without adding agents served as the normal group. After 5 days of culture, the intracellular growth of CPN in ECV-304 was examined by monoclonal antibody fluorescence labeling method and Giemsa stain, and the expression of TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the model group. Protein expression of TLR2 on ECV-304 cell surface in the cultured supernatants was detected with flow cytometer. [Results] The intracellular growth of CPN can be found in ECV-304. The expression of TLR4 mRNA was undetectable, and high expression of TLR2 mRNA and TLR2 protein existed in ECV-304. Baicalin in high doses could lower the expression of TLR2 protein. [Conclusion] Baicalin has an inhibitory effect on the high expression of TLR2 protein in ECV-304 stimulated by CPN.

BACKGROUND: Present therapeutic tool cannot supplement infarct myocardium. Studies have shown that stem cell transplantation can promote regeneration of myocardium and vessels and improve heart function and prognosis.OBJECTIVE: To observe changes in morphology and hemodynamics in myocardium following embryonic stem cell transplantation in and surrounding the acute myocardial infarct site.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized, controlled, animal study was performed at the Laboratory of Neurobiology,Department of Human Anatomy and Neurobiology, Xiangya Medical College, Central South University from March 2007 to October 2008.MATERIALS: A total of 40 SPF grade Wistar rats were equally randomized into 4 groups, normal control, infarct model,central transplantation and peripheral transplantation groups. Embryonic stem cells-D3 (ES-D3) and Buffalo rat hepatocytas were supplied by Shanghai Cell Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences.METHODS: Following resuscitation, ES-D3 cells at (2.0-5.0)×107/L were incubated in a flask, and induced to in vitro differentiate in conditioned medium containing Buffalo rat hepatocytes. Except normal control group, rat models of acute myocardial infarction were established by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery in the infarct model, central transplantation and peripheral transplantation groups. At 1 week following model induction, ES-D3 cells were labeled by BrdU for 1 day, and implanted at 1×109/L. Three sites were selected in the infarct site in the central transplantation group. 10 μ L cell suspension (104 cells) was implanted in the ventricular wall through each site. In the peripheral transplantation group, an equal volume of cell suspension was separately implanted in three peripheral infarct sites by the same method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Results of immunohistochemistry and hemodynamics were measured.RESULTS: ES-D3 cells in buffalo rat hepatocyte conditioned medium presented regular colony-shaped. At 8 days following differentiation, some embryo proper had spontaneous rhythmic contraction, showed positive reaction of cardiac troponin T after immunostaining. Under the electron microscope, myotube and muscle fiber appeared, which verified the differentiation of cardiomyocytes. Cells were positive for BrdU in the peripheral transplantation group, but negative in the central transplantation group. Cells were also positive for cardiac troponin T. 4 weeks following transplantation, left ventricular systolic pressure,minimum/maximum rate of ventricular pressure (±dp/dtmax) were significantly reduced (P < 0.01), but left ventricular end diastolic pressure was significantly increased (P < 0.01), left ventricular mass and left ventricular mass index were significantly increased (P < 0.01 ) in the infarct model group compared with the normal control group. Compared with the infarct model group, no significant changes in hemodynamics indices were found in the central transplantation group (P > 0.05); left ventricular systolic pressure, ±dp/dtmax were significantly increased (P < 0.01), left ventricular end diastolic pressure was significantly decreased (P < 0.01 ), left ventricular mass, left ventricular mass index and infarct area were significantly reduced(P < 0.01) in the peripheral transplantation group.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of heat-clearing and dampness-removing therapy combined with Bifico for ulcerative colitis ( UC) induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid ( TNBS), and to explore its influence on tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) and interleukin-10 ( IL-10) in rats. Methods Forty female adult Sprague-Dawley rats were evenly randomized into five groups, namely normal control group, model group, Bifico (175 mg/kg) group, Chinese medicine group(enema with Changdiqing 3.6/kg and oral use of Changyanling Recipe l) , and Chinese medicine plus Bifico group. After treatment, the damage of colonic mucous membrane was evaluated, and expression levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in colonic mucosa were observed through immunohistochemical assay. Results The degree of colonic mucosal injury was severer and the inflammation was more obvious in the model group than those in the normal control groups ( P<0.01) , and the above changes were relieved to various degrees in the medication group ( P<0.01 compared with those in the model group) . Chinese medicine plus Bifico group had better effect on reducing colonic mucosa damage index ( CMDI) and inflammation, and on promoting the healing of colonic mucosa than Bifico group and Chinese medicine group (P<0.05 ) . The expression level of TNF-α in the colonic mucosa was markedly increased while that of IL-10 was markedly decreased in the model group ( P<0.01 compared with those in the normal control group) . The medication groups could counteract the above changes in the colonic mucosa ( P<0.01 compared with those in the model group) . The combination group and Chinese medicine group had better effect on decreasing TNF-α expression level and on increasing IL-10 expression level than Bifico group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion IL-10 and TNF-α play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of ulcerative colitis. Chinese medicine combined with Bifico has satisfactory therapeutic effect on UC rats, and its mechanism may be related with the increase of IL-10 expression level and with the decrease of TNF-α expression level.

Objective:To explore the causes of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of fetal liver, hemangioma by prenatal ultrasound, aimed at improving the diagnostic rate of fetal liver hemangioma by prenatal ultrasound.Methods:Six cases of misdiagnosed fetal liver hemangioma in Hunan Province Maternal and Child Health Hospital between January 2016 and October 2018 were selected. In these cases, live births were tracked until they were 6-24 months old, while autopsy was carried out on induced fetuses. These failed cases were analyzed retrospectively, in terms of their scanning methods, ultrasonographic features and pregnancy outcomes.Results:Three cases were misdiagnosed by perinatal ultrasound: the time for the first discovery of masses in these cases was 37 + 3 weeks, 39 + 5 weeks and 37 + 4 weeks respectively. All of these tissues appeared as mixed echogenic masses and were misdiagnosed as hepatoblastoma. The other three cases were categorized as prenatal ultrasound missed diagnosis: in one case, prenatal ultrasound examination failed to detect the disease in question during the whole pregnancy, while ultrasound examination revealed lesions 2 days after birth; the other case didn′t see the detection of hepatic hemangioma was not detected until the 40th week of pregnancy by ultrasound in another case, as prenatal ultrasound at 31 + 6 weeks and 37 + 4 weeks showed nothing abnormal; yet prenatal ultrasound examination of the third case showed no findings in which at 26 + 6 weeks pregnant, but ultrasound performed at 33 weeks into gestation suspected slightly hypoechoic area in the liver, which was indicated hepatic hemangioma by MRI. Among the 6 cases, 2 of the induced fetuses were confirmed as hepatic capillary tumor by autopsy and pathological examination by with the consents of their family; four live births were confirmed to be hepatic hemangioma by contrast-enhanced CT scan and clinical follow-up observation. Conclusions:Multi-angle and multi-section scanning technique should be adopted in prenatal ultrasound examination of fetal liver. Mean while observations must also be made of any changes in the hepatic vein and any displacement of the peripheral organs of the liver, while ultrasonic images and color Doppler flow imaging features of the lesions are further analyzed. These actions lead to an improvement in the diagnostic accuracy of fetal liver hemangioma, which serves as a useful clinical guide to active and effective intervention measures.
