Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2014;33(5):551-553
Objective To analyze the status of human brucellosis infection in Qi County.Methods From 2010 to 2012,by using Rose Bengal plate agglutination test (RBPT) and standard tube agglutination test(SAT),serological detection was conducted in suspected brucellosis cases and risk populations occupational exposed to Brucella,including livestock traders,slaughters,raisers,milkmaids and veterinary in Qi County.The sex distribution,time distribution,occupation and age distribution were analyzed.Brucella were isolated from patients in acute stage by blood culture,and serotypos were determined by traditional identification method.Results From 2010 to 2012,977 people were examined; 273 people were serological positive(27.9%) ; male[31.6%(232/735)] was higher than female[16.9%(41/242),P < 0.05].March to August were the peak seasons in every yeas.Most of the patients were engaged in farming,aged from 21 to 60 years old.Eleven strains of Brucella Melitensis biotype 3 were isolated in 30 cases of blood culture samples.Conclusions The incidence of human brucellosis is increasing year by year in Qi County.Infected people are mostly young men.It is necessary to strengthen health education,increase the awareness of self protection in order to reduce the occurrence of brucellosis.
2.β-arrestin1 promotes leukemia cell K562 migration and invasion by activating STAT3 signaling pathway
Chinese Journal of Immunology 2016;32(12):1773-1776
Objective:To investigate the function of β-arrestin1 and its related mechanisms in migration and invasion capacity of leukemia cell K562. Methods:β-arrestin1-siRNA or negative siRNA was transfected into K562 cells of experiment group or control group. The migration and invasion capacity of K562 cells was detected by transwell tests;and the protein expression of β-arrestin1 and pSTAT3 were detected by Western blot. Results:As compared to control group and negative siRNA group,the migration and invasion capacity of transfected β-arrestin1-siRNA group were attenuated about 43% or 52% ( P<0. 05 );Western blot showed that the expression of phosphorylation of STAT3 was decreased inβ-arrestin1-siRNA group. And the STAT3 inhibitors obviously suppressed the migration and invasion capacity of K562 cells. Conclusion:In leukemia cells K562,β-arrestin1 activates STAT3 signaling pathway to promote the cell migration and invasion.

Background The enhance of differentiation of orbital preadipocyte is a main factor for pathogenesis of thyroid associated ophthalmopathy(TAO).Experiment has proved that orbital preadipocyte can differentiate into mature adipocyte expressing resistin,and resistin is a adipocyte factor with biological activity.Objective The present study is to investigate the effects of recombinant human resistin on differentiation of orbital preadipocytes derived from TAO patients orbital tissues.Methods Orbital adipose tissue was obtained from 10 eyes with TAO during the orbital decompression surgery.Orbital adipose tissue of the normal group was obtained from 5 removed eyes during the surgery due to different reasons.Preadipocytes were isolated and cultured using expand culture method.The 2-5 generations of preadipocytes were identified by oil red O staining under the light microscope.0,10,25,50,100ng/mL of recombinant human resistin were added into medium in the first day after differentiation of cells.The expression of PPARγ mRNA in differentiated adipocytes were detected by reverse trancripaton PCR(RT PCR).Results The differentiation of preadipocyte presented the similar procedure and outcome between the TAO group and normal group.Differentiated adipocyte was stained into the jacinth by oil red O.The expression of PPARγ mRNA in differentiated cells was gradually declined with the increase of concentration of recombinant human resistin (F=241.341,P<0.01).A dose dependent inhibitory effect was detected in the expression of PPARγ mRNA.The weakest expression of PPARγ mRNA in differentiated cells was 100ng/mL resistin group.Conclusion The recombinant human resistin has an inhibitory effect on the differentiation of orbital preadipocytes by reducing the expression of adipose related genes.Resistin is probably a new research approach to treatment of TAO.
