Objective To assess the cesarean section scar morphology and size with transvaginal ultrasound and the healing of incision diverticulum after the repairing operation.Methods Forty cases with cesarean section scar defects needed repairing operation,40 cases of cesarean section without symptoms and 40 cases of vaginal delivery were involved.The scar condition and measured the size of cesarean section defects were observed.For the 40 cases needed repairing operation,the healing of the scar and measured the size of the defects were observed which still existed before and after the surgery.For the transvaginal delivery cases the thickness of uterine isthmus were measured.Results After the scar defects repairing operation,there were 9 cases who still had diverticulum,but the defects were smaller than that before operation (P <0.05).The symptoms were relieved.Among the 40 asymptomatic cases,there were 1 1 cases had defects,but the diverticulum were smaller than that of needed operation patients (P < 0.05 ). Conclusions The transvaginal ultrasound is a noninvasive and convenient method to observe the cesarean section scar.

OBJECTIVE:To study the apoptosis of human leukemic cells induced by Dihydroartemisinin and its molecular mechanism.METHODS:Human leukemia K562 cells were treated by Dihydroartemisinin.The inhibitory effect on cell proliferation was assayed by MTT.Fluorescence microscopy was applied to observe the presence of apoptosis.The expression of caspase-3 was assayed with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Levels of mitochondrial and cytoplasmic cytochrome C were determined using Western blot.RESULTS:After treatment with Dihydroartemisinin for 48 hours,the IC50 values of human leukemia K562 cells were 8? 10-5mol? L-1 detected at a wavelength of 570nm by MTT.Distinct morphology changes of cell apoptosis such as karyopyknosis and conglomeration were observed by Hoechst33342/PI staining.RT-PCR assay showed the expression of Caspase-3.Western-blot detection showed the decrease of mitochondrial cytochrome C concentration but the positive expression of cytoplasmic cytochrome C concentration.CONCLUSION:Dihydroartemisinin could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of human leakemic K562 cells,this may partially attributed to the promotion of the delivery of cyt-c and the activation of caspase-3.

OBJECTIVE:To detect the expression of genes of leukemia cell line K562 treated by artemisinin using the gene chip technology and to study the mechanism of artemisinin in the inhibition of leukemia cell line K562 on the molecular level. METHODS:K562 cells were treated with artemisinin for 24h,and then the morphological change of K562 cells were observed under invert microscope and fluorescence microscope. The cell cycle state was examined by flow cytometry analysis (FCM). Total RNA samples were extracted and reverse transcribed to cDNA. Cy3-labelled cDNA samples were hybridized with gene chips.The hybridization results were detected by Gene Pix 4100A. RESULTS: Under invert microscope,different degree of shrinkage of K562 cells was noted,karyoschisis was reduced,cell density was decreased and the numbers of drift cells were increased.Under fluorescence microscope,caryotin was highly concentrated,marginalized and agglomerated to relucent clump,i.e.apoptotic body. Flow cytometric analysis showed that ratio of cells in G2 phase increased markedly. Hybridization analysis showed down-regulation of cyclin D1,cdk4,cdk2,cdc2,DNA-PK,DNA-TopoI,mcl-1,erk,jnk and VEGF in the artemisinin-treated K562 cells.CONCLUSION: The mechanism for artemisinin to inhibit the proliferation of leukemia cell line K562 is related to its action to alter the gene expression of certain regulatory substances involved in cell cycle and induce apoptosis of leukemia cell line K562.

Objective To investigate the effects of the rat serum with chronic renal failure (CRF) on ubiquitin-proteasome pathway,histone acetyltransferase p300 and activation of activating transcription factor 4(ATF4) of rat arterial vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) cultured in vitro,and explore the possible mechanism.Methods To establish the rat model of CRF by 5/6 nephrectomy,VSMCs were incubated in the media with the 10％ of CRF serum or control serum in vitro.The mRNA expressions of ubiquitin(Ub),ubiquitin activating enzyme(E1),ubiquitin ligases enzymes (β-transducin repeat containing protein 1,β-TrCP1),p300 and ATF4 in the rat VSMCs were examined by using realtime PCR.Expressions of E1,β-TrCP1,p300 and ATF4 proteins in response to the CRF serum in VSMCs were determined by Western blotting analysis.The enzyme activities of 20S proteasomes in the total protein were examined by using three special fluorogenic peptide substrates.Results The CRF serum significantly promoted the mRNA expressions of Ub,E1,β-TrCP1,p300 and ATF4 in VSMCs in a time dependent manner.Compared with that in control serum group,the mRNA levels of Ub,E1,β-TrCP1,p300 and ATF4 in CRF serum group increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01).The CRF serum also increased the protein expressions of E1,β-TrCP1 and p300 in a time dependent manner.The expression of ATF4 was decreased,but the difference was not significant (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with that in control serum group,the protein expressions of E1,β-TrCP1,p300 and ATF4 in CRF serum group increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01).The activities of 20S proteasomes in the CRF serum group were significantly increased in a time dependent manner.Compared with that in control serum group,the activities of 20S proteasomes in the CRF serum group increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The serum of CRF rat can effectively active the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway,but ATF4 ubiquitinylated degradation is blocked.The latter may be associated with increased expression of p300.

ObjectiveTo analyze the craniocerebrum ultrasonographic images of the infants born by women with hypertension in pregnancy and investigate the effect of hypertension in pregnancy on neonate brain injury and brain development.MethodsTo assess the brain injury and brain development, 106 infants born by women with hypertension in pregnancy (study group) and 200 infants born by women without high risk factors during perinatal period (control group) in the neonatal intensive care unit of First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between 2013 and 2014 underwent brain ultrasonography. The abnormal ultrasound images and the constitution of abnormal ultrasound images distribution in two groups were compared. The relationship between the abnormal ultrasound images and the degree of hypertension in pregnancy were analyzed.ResultsThe brain ultrasonographic result of the infants : (1) In the group with hypertension in pregnancy, the abnormal ultrasound images were found in 78 cases (73.6%). For the preterm infants, the solitary abnormality was found in 41 cases (25 cases of cerebral white matter injury, 14 cases of peri-intraventricular hemorrhage and 2 case of brain hypoevolutism) and multiple abnormalities were found in 15 cases; for the full-term infants, the solitary abnormality was found in 17 cases (12 cases of peri-intraventricular hemorrhage, 3 cases of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and 2 case of brain hypoevolutism) and multiple abnormalities were found in 5 cases. (2) In the group without high risk factors, abnormalities were found in 73 cases (36.5 %). For the preterm infants, abnormal ultrasound images were found in 45 cases, including solitary abnormality found in 30 cases (24 cases of cerebral white matter injury, 4 cases of peri-intraventricular hemorrhage and 2 case of brain hypoevolutism) and multiple abnormalities found in 15 cases; for the full-term infants, the abnormal ultrasound images were found in 30 cases, including solitary abnormality found in 24 cases (10 cases of peri-intraventricular hemorrhage and 14 cases of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy) and multiple abnormalities found in 6 cases. (3) There were obvious statistical significances between the comparativeness of two groups (χ2=38.119,P<0.001), but there were no statistical significances in the constitution of the abnormal ultrasound images distribution between the two groups (χ2=0.552,P=0.759). (4) There were statistical significances between the comparativeness of the abnormal ultrasound images and the degree of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (P<0.001). ConclusionCraniocerebrum ultrasonography is the first choice to detect and monitor brain abnormal and can provide basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment and intervention at early stage for the infants born by women with hypertension in pregnancy.
