BACKGROUND:Conventional treatments for hypertrophic scars include excision, steroid hormones, anti-metabolite drugs, immunosuppressive agents and radiation therapy. Easy to relapse or serious reaction limits their clinical use. In recent years, application of calcium channel blockers in treatment of hypertrophic scars has made more good progresses, but little adverse reactions are obtained. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of calcium channel blocker trifluoperazine on hypertrophic scar of rabbit ears. METHODS:A total of 24 rabbits were enrol ed in this study. After 1 week of accommodation, models of rabbit ear scar were established in accordance with the method of Morris and Li et al. Rabbit models were randomly assigned to three group (n=8). At 30 days after model induction, when scar formed, trifluoperazine and triamcinolone acetonide groups received trifluoperazine and triamcinolone acetonide injection. Blank control group was left intact. Changes in hyperplastic scar, hypertrophic index, levels of matrix metal oproteinase-2, tissue inhibitor of metal oproteinase-2, transforming growth factorβ1,α-smooth muscle actin and proliferating cellnuclear antigen were compared and observed in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 10 and 20 days after treatment, in the three groups, skin bulge was visible in rabbit ears and no rabbit hair grew. Rabbit ears had obvious softening in the trifluoperazine group compared with the triamcinolone acetonide group, showing dark red. In the blank control group, rabbit ear scar was evident and showed red color. At 20 days after treatment, scar thickness and scar index were lower in the trifluoperazine and triamcinolone acetonide groups than in the blank control group. Matrix metal oproteinase 2 expression was significantly higher, but tissue inhibitor of metal oproteinase-2 and transforming growth factorβ1 levels were lower in the trifluoperazine and triamcinolone acetonide groups than in the blank control group. Results indicated that trifluoperazine obtained good proliferative effects on rabbit ear scar, and could decrease scar thickness.

Methods Peripheral blood samples to extract DNA, and the single nucleotide polymorphisms of Q-1 and T2 in ADAM33 gene were detected by SNaPshot SNP genotyping. Results Case group compared with the control group, frequencies of Q-1 locus genotypes and alleles were significant differences in Kazak (P<0.05). In patient group, there were significant differences in ADAM33 gene Q-1 locus genotypes FEV1% predicted, FEV1/FVC of clinical indicators lung function in Kazak, Han(P < 0.05). Kazak Q-1 locus AA genotype,Han GA genotype than GG genotype were significant difference.Compare Kazak AA genotype,Han GA genotype with GG genotype is more likely to cause COPD in Q-1 locus(P<0.05). In the comparison of the case and control group the two ethnic, there was no significant difference between the frequencies of T2 locus genotypes and the frequencies of Q-1,T2 the alleles (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in T2 locus genotypes and clinical indicators of lung function FEV1% predicted and FEV1/FVC in patient group (P > 0.05). Conclusion The ADAM33 gene Q-1 locus may be related to the COPD susceptibility in Xinjiang Kazak, Han.

Objective To study the role of PPARa gene in human hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Transmission elctron microscopy was used to study the morphologic differences between the MDR cell line HepG2/ADM and its mother cell line HepG2;Real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to check the expression of PPARa in mRNA level and protein level in the two cell lines respectively. Results Transmission elctron microscopy showed that the HepG2/ADM cells had more viliformed maculas on their nuclear memberanes, more vacuoles in their cytoplasmas, more rough endoplastic reticulums; the PPARa gene was down regulated in the HepG2/ADM cells. Conclusion PPARa is related with the multidrug resistance phenomenon in the HepG2/ADM cells. The down regulation of PPARa may be one of the mechanisms conferring the forming of MDR in tumor cells.
