AIM To study the effects of DIDS and furosemide on the contraction induced by phenylephrine and the endothelium-dependent relexation induced by ATP. METHODS Measurement of isometric force of rat thoracic aortae rings with and without endothelium. RESULTS DIDS(1~300 ?mol?L -1 ) and furosemide(10~320 ?mol?L -1 ) inhibited the contractile response induced by phenylephrine in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory rate was different between aortic ring endothelium-intact and that endothelium-denuded. The values of IC_ 50 for DIDS were (12.0?8.0) ?mol?L -1 and (28.3?7.3) ?mol?L -1 respectively,while the values of IC_ 50 for furosemide were (17.9?6.6) ?mol?L -1 and (41.0?15.6) ?mol?L -1 respectively. DIDS(10 ?mol?L -1 ) did not chang ATP-induced vasodilative effect at the concentrations of 10 ?mol?L -1 and 100 ?mol?L -1 , but enhanced the relaxation induced by 1 mmol?L -1 ATP. Furosemide (20 ?mol?L -1 ) had no effect on the relaxation induced by ATP(10 ?mol?L -1 ), but prolonged the relaxation when the concentration of ATP added to 100 ?mol?L -1 and 1 mmol?L -1 ( P

The index components contents of different time and different stubbles in honeysuckle were measured by HPLC, and were analysis by using the method of SPSS. Results showed that the content of index ingredients of different time had differences, and firstly decreased, then increased with time. The content of index ingredients of different stubbles had significantly differences, and firstly decreased, then increased with time. The chlorogenic acid contents were 2.059%-3.593%. The luteolosid contents were 0.110%-0.171%. Results indicated that the best picking buds time is before seven o'clock in the morning and evening at before and after seven o'clock, the index component content is higher. Picking buds in spring and at autumn index component content is higher; Picking buds in summer index component content is low. The experiment provides theoretical support for quality control in the whole process of the honeysuckle harvested and comprehensive utilization of honeysuckle.

BACKGROUND: Blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption can clean larger molecules that exceed the molecular weight cutoff of combined continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH). Hence blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption combined CVVH (HP+CVVH) has higher ability of mediator clearance, and can improve clinical outcomes in theory. This study aimed to investigate the effect of blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption combined continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (HP+CVVH) on plasm cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, cellular immunity and prognosis in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). METHODS: This was a prospective, randomized clinical trial. A total of 30 patients who had been diagnosed with MODS were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly allocated to routine treatment+HP+CVVH group (treatment group) and routine treatment+only CVVH group (control group). In the treatment group, patients received blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption for 2 hours, and then received CVVH for 10 hours every day. In the control group, patients received CVVH for 12 hours only every day. The patients in the two groups received blood purification therapy for three days. The plasma of patients in the treatment group was obtained at 0, 2, 12, 24, 26, 36, 48, 50, 60 hours, 5th day, 7th day and 10th day, respectively. The plasma of patients in the control group was obtained at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 hours, 5th day, 7th day and 10th day, respectively. APACHE II score, T-lymphocytes subpopulations, blood lactate acid concentration, heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygenation index were observed. RESULTS: Plasma cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 decreased markedly after HP (P<0.01);T-lymphocytes subpopulations CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+ increased after HP+CVVH or only CVVH. The plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the two groups were not markedly different at 12, 36, and 50 hours. But on the 5th day, the plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). On the 28th day, 5 patients died in the treatment group, and 6 patients in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Both HP+CVVH and CVVH can clean plasma cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and improve cellular immunity and clinical symptoms and signs of patients. Compared with only CVVH, the plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were lower on the 5th day, and patients have an increased survival rate on the 28 day in the HP+CVVH group.

Purpose To investigate the expression and significance of androgen receptor (AR) in breast carcinoma with different ER and PR status.Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect AR, ER and PR expression in 173 cases of breast carcinoma, and all the cases were grouped according to: (1) AR status: AR~- positive subgroup and AR~- negative subgroup, (2) ER status: En subgroup (negative for both ER and PR), Ep subgroup (positive for ER and/or PR), (3)AR, ER and PR status: En-AR~+ subgroup (AR~- positive cases of En subgroup), En-AR~- subgroup (AR~-negative cases of En subgroup), Ep-AR~+ subgroup (AR~- positive cases of Ep subgroup), and Ep-AR~- subgroup (AR~-negative cases of Ep subgroup).En-AR~- subgroup also was called negativE-for-all subgroup, and the rest three subgroups were called partly-or-completely positive subgroup (positive for at least one of the three markers), and then, the groups were compared with clinicopathological features.Results The positive rate of AR was 62.8% (54/86) in Ep subgroup and 37.9%(33/87) in En subgroup, and there was significant difference between them (P=0.001).Compared to AR~-negative subgroup, AR~-positive subgroup had smaller tumor size, less mitosis count and lower grade(P<0.05).Compared to the other three subgroups, En-AR~- subgroup had more mitosis count and higher grade (P<0.01).In En subgroup,AR~- positive cases had less mitosis count and lower grade (P<0.05), and in Ep subgroup,AR~- positive cases had higher stage(P=0.000), but no significant difference were found among partly or completely positive subgroups.Conclusions The expression of AR may play a different role in breast carcinoma with different ER and PR status, because it indicates good prognosis in negative for both ER and PR subgroup, but bad in ER and/or PR positive subgroup. When choosing a personalized therapy, all the combinations of hormone receptor status should be considered for the patients.

Purpose To investigate the relationship between molecular phenotype of ductal carcinoma in situ ( DCIS) and that of inva-sive ductal carcinoma ( IDC) of the breast. Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect ER, PR, HER-2 and CK5 ex-pression in 165 cases of breast cancer, with DCIS and IDC existed in every one of the samples. Results In the 165 cases of breast cancer, the ER, PR, HER-2 and CK5 expression of IDC was positively correlated with that of DCIS, respectively. To evaluate IDC phenotype, the number of basal phenotype was 18 (10. 9%), HER-2-overexpression 20 (12. 1%), luminal A 102 (61. 8%), lumin-al B 20 (12. 1%), null phenotype 6 (3. 6%);to evaluate DCIS phenotype, the number of basal phenotype was 19 (11. 5%), HER-2-overexpression 20 (12. 1%), luminal A 104 (63%), luminal B 17 (10. 3%), null phenotype 5 (3%). 157 cases (95. 2%) of IDC had the same phenotype with DICS, but the rest 8 cases (4. 8%) not, three cases of luminal A DCIS transformed into one HER-2-overexpression and two null phenotype IDC, three of HER-2-overexpression DCIS transformed into luminal B IDC, one null pheno-type DCIS transformed into one luminal A IDC, and one basal phenotype DCIS transformed to HER-2-overexpression IDC. Conclusion Most of IDC have the same phenotype with DCIS, but there exist small part of DCIS which could transform into other phenotype IDC.
