AIM: To investigate the effect of glomerular intercellular interaction under high glucose concentration on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and transforming growth factor ?_1 (TGF-?_1) in co-cultured human ECV304 cells, and to study the intervention with tea polyphenols (TPs). METHODS: The endothelial cells were cultured alone or co-cultured with mesangial cells in high glucose media with or without TPs for 0 h, 12 h and 36 h, respectively. The activity of SOD and the content of MDA in the media of the system were detected by spectrophotometry. The expression of TGF-?_1 mRNA in the endothelial cells was measured by using semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). RESULTS: High glucose decreased the activity of SOD, increased the content of MDA and up-regulated the expression of TGF-?_1 mRNA in co-cultured ECV304 cells and the effect became more prominent than the single-cultured cells. TPs interrupted it more effectively. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that there is interaction between mesangial cells and ECV304 cells under high glucose concentration. The interaction may markedly up-regulate the production of ROS and the expression of TGF-?_1 in co-cultured ECV304 cells. TPs may protect ECV304 cells by intervening intercellular interaction.

The relationship between Bcl-2, Bax, Fas, caspase-3 and development of hemangioma and the molecular mechanism was investigated. By using immunohistochemical S-P method, proliferating cell nuclear antigen was detected. According to the classification of Mulliken in combination with PCNA expression, 27 cases were identified as proliferating hemangioma and 22 cases as involutive hemangioma. Five normal skin tissues around the tumor tissue served as controls. By using immunohistochemical technique, the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, Fax and Caspase-3 was detected. The cells expressing Bcl-2, Bax, Fax and cappase-3 were identified as hemangioma endothelia by immunohistochemical staining of VIII factor. The average absorbance (A) and average positive area rate of Bcl-2, Bax, Fas and caspase-3 expression were measured by using HPIAS-2000 imaging analysis system. The results showed that the expression of Bcl-2 in the endothelia of proliferating hemangioma was significantly higher that in involutive degenerative hemangioma endothelia and vascular endothelia of normal skin tissue (P < 0.01). The expression of Bax, Fas and Caspase-3 in the endothelia of involutive hemangioma was obviously higher than in the endothelia of proliferating hemangioma and normal skin tissue (P < 0.01). The expression of BAx and Fas in endothelia of proliferating hemangioma was higher than in those of normal skin tissue (P < 0.05). It was suggested that Bcl-2, Bax, Fas and caspase-3 might be involved in the development and involution of hemangioma. Bcl-2 could promote the growth of hemangioma by inhibiting apoptosis of endothelia. Bax, Fas and caspase-3 promote the switch of hemangioma from proliferation to involution by inducing the apoptosis of hemangioma endothelia.

BACKGROUND:Intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate is an effective method for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, with significant effect and less adverse reactions, but the mechanism is unclear. OBJECTIVE:Through testing the malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase levels in the synovial fluid of knee osteoarthritis before and after injection of sodium hyaluronate, to evaluate the clinical efficacy of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:Thirty-seven patients with knee osteoarthritis (40 knees) were enroled and divided into mild (n=10, 10 knees), moderate (n=17, 18 knees), and severe (n=10, 12 knees) groups according to the Japan's knee osteoarthritis indications. Patients were subjected to intra-articular injection of 25 mg sodium hyaluronate, once a week for 5 weeks. The levels of malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase in the synovial fluid before and 4 weeks after treatment were detected, and then clinical effects were evaluated based on the clinical scores according to the Japan’s knee osteoarthritis indications. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The indication rating results of the mild and moderate groups were decreased significantly 4 weeks after injection (P < 0.05), but there were no significant difference in the severe group before and after treatment. The malondialdehyde level in the synovial fluid was decreased obviously in the three groups at 4 weeks after injection (P < 0.05), while the level of superoxide dismutase was increased remarkably (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that sodium hyaluronate can treat knee osteoarthritis by reducing the malondialdehyde level and increasing superoxide dismutase level in the synovial fluid, but this method is more suitable for treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
