Objective: To investigate the mRNA expression of chemokine receptors in human villi and trophoblasts of first trimester gestation . Methods: The authors first obtained villous tissues from fifteen women who had undergone selective termination at 5 - 10 weeks of normal gestation. Total RNA was then extracted, using the TRIzol reagent, from villous tissues or Percoll-gradient purified trophoblasts. Consequently, the expressions of chemokine receptors in villous tissues and trophoblasts were investigated by way of semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.Results: The chemokine receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR6, were highly expressed in each villous tissue, while the CCR6, CCR7, XCR1 and CX3CR1 were moderately expressed in villi. The chemokine receptors, CCR1- CCR5, CCR8 - CCR10, CXCR1 -CXCR3, were expressed only in some villous samples, while no CXCR5 mRNA was found in any villous tissue. The authors also found that the freshly isolated and Percoll-purified trophoblasts expressed CCR1, CCR3 - CCR5, CCR8 - CCR9, CXCR1 - CXCR4, CXCR6, XCR1 and CX3CR1 mRNA. Conclusion: A variety of chemokine receptors were expressed in villous tissues and trophoblasts of human first trimester gestation, hence, these receptors may play an important biological role at the materno-fetal interface in normal human pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the causes of pancreatic injury after autologous liver transplantation in rats. Methods Forty-two SD rats were randomly divided into post autologons liver transplantation 1-hour group, 6-hour group, 12-hour group, 24-hour group, 48-hour group, 72-hour group and sham group (6 rats per group). The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipase were measured to assess pancreatic exocrine function. The histomorphological changes of pancreatic tissue were studied under optical and electron microscopes. All data were analyzed via one-way ANOVA. Results The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipnse in post autologous liver transplantation 1-hour group were significantly higher than those in sham group, and they gradually increased as time passed by. The plasma concentrations of amylase and lipase reached peak at hour 48, after which they decreased gradually. There was a significant difference in the plasma concentration of amylase and lipase among the 7 groups (F = 538.622,489.417, P < 0.05). Acute edematous pancreatitis was observed 1 hour after autolognus liver transplantation, and acute hemorrhagic necrotic pancreatitis was observed 6 hours after transplantation. The degree of injury reached a peak 48 hours after transplantation. The number of mitochondria was increased, and endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus were swollen 1 hour after transplantation, and the area, perimeter, specific surface area and mean gray value of mitochondria were (312±40) mm~2, (80.3±3.8)mm, 0.332±0.039 and 113±11, respectively. As time passed by, the injury of the pancreatic cells was aggravated and autophagosomes were observed. The injury was most severe 48 hours after transplantation, and the area, perimeter, specific surface area and mean gray value of mitochondria were (466±7) mm~2, (108.8±3.7) mm, 0.298±0.009 and 195±12, respectively. There were significant differences in the specific surface area and mean gray value among all the groups (F = 9.322, 76.560, P < 0.05). Conclusion The pancreatic injury after autologous liver transplantation is related to the energy metabolism of the pancreatic cells induced by hypoxia.

Objective To develop a rapid, sensitive and specific assay based on multiplex real-time PCR for detecting and identifying Escherichia coli O157: H7. Methods The lipopolysaccharide gene (rJbE) and H7 flagellar antigen gene(fliC) of Escherichia coli O157:H7 was chosen as targets, and then the primers and TaqMan-MGB probe were designed. The 5'end of probes was labeled with FAM and HEX fluo-resceins respectively; the 3'end of probes was labeled with MGB. The PCR reaction was optimized systemati-cally. Then the specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility of multiplex real-time PCR were estimated. Final-ly, multiplex real-time PCR was applied to detected clinical specimens. Results Escherichia coil O157:H7 were detected by multiplex real-time PCR accurately and quickly, which could distinguish Escherichia coli O157:H7 from O157: non-H7. Meanwhile, none of other bacteria could be identified. The sensitivity was 10 CFU/ml in pure culture. The coefficient of variation of intra-assay and inter-assay was less than 5%. When this assay was applied directly to identify 66 clinical specimens, the results showed that t5 were positive to Escherichia coil O157:H7 and 2 were positive to Escherichia coil O157: non-H7, in which 16 was the same to the results obtained from the conventional assays. The coincidence was 98.49%. Conclusion It is showed that multiplex real-time PCR is a reliable, accurate and feasible assay for detecting and identifying Escherich-ia coli Oi57: H7, The assay reported here provided a tool for analysis and diagnosis in the field of detecting clinical pathogens, epidemiologic survey and food safety monitoring.
