Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2012;33(8):466-469
ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism that Gadd45a and Egr-1together participate in the DNA damage repair,by analyzing the influence of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) on the rnRNA and protein expression of hepatic cell cycle-related genes.Method Methods Forty-two SD rats were divided into normal control group,ischemia 30 min group and reperfusion 30 min,1h,2 h,3 h and 24 h groups.The hepatic specimens of rats at the corresponding time points after success of modeling were obtained. Chip experiment was used to screen out the key genes Gadd45a,Egr-1and GAPDH for target genes.We used Northern blot and RT-PCR to confirm the chip's results. The expression of related proteins was detected by using immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry.Results Northern blot detection results showed that the RT-PCR products and the target genes for testing were concordant.The expression spectral chip signal and RT-PCR detection revealed that the expression of target genes had a 4-fold increase at early reperfusion period (1h) (up-regulation of Egr-1,Gadd45a and HSP70-1a by 9.39,8.28 and10.8 respectively.At the later stage of reperfusion (24 h),the expression of Egr-1,Gadd45a and Hspala was reduced to the normal levels, and the chip screening results were consistent with the RT-PCR test results.Fluorescence immunohistochemistry demonstrated that in the reperfusion1h and 2 h groups,the expression of Egr-1in nuclei of liver cells was positive. Immunohistochemistry indicated that the Gadd45 expression in the nucleus and cytoplasm was gradually increased with increasing reperfusion time.ConclusionGadd45a and Egr-1are the key genes of the nuclear factor (NF)-kB regulatory pathways,and involved in the regulation of cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and repair of damaged DNA in rat hepatic IRI.

Objective To study the effect of thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) analogue, YM14673, on the brain edema and blood brain barrier after brain injury in rat.Methods The model of brain injury of rats was built by Feeney's methods. The Evans blue solution had been injected i.v. into the rats before the models were made. The rats were divided into four groups: normal, treated with saline, treated with YM14673(Ⅰ:0.1mg/kg and Ⅱ:1mg/kg). The water content in brain was measured 24 h after brain injured. The concentration of Evans blue in brain tissue and blood was measured with fluorometry.Results The rats treated with saline after traumatic injury showed significantly high water content compared with normal group(P<0.01)and the water content of the left hemisphere, which was hit straightly, was higher significantly than that of the right global(P<0.01). The brain water content decreased in the rats treated with YM14673 in all global(P<0.05).There was no significant different between the treated group Ⅰ and groupⅡ.After brain injury, the concentration of Evans blue in brain tissue showed a higher level contrasted with normal group. YM14673 did not influence the concentration of Evans blue in brain tissue. Conclusion YM14673 can decrease the brain edema after brain injury but it cannot decrease the permeability of blood brain barrier.

Objective To observe differences between repeat and written response in speech recognition tests of short Mandarin monosyllable lists. Methods 12 normal-hearing subjects were tested by 6 short monosyllabic lists. The subjects should repeat and write down.the contents of the tests at the same time, the tester monitors au-rally and records the subjects' reactions. The speech recognition scoring error under different responses at different presentation levels could be obtained by comparing the records of the subjects with the tester. Results The speech recognition scoring of repeat and written response were highly correlated with each other (P<0.01). However, 19(26.4%) out of 72 pairs of test records were inconsistent. The error range of them was from -5% to 10%. When the presentation level was 5 dB HL, the difference among the speech recognition scoring was significant statistically, but not significant when the presentation level at 20, 15, 10 and 0 dB HL. Conclusion The test results of speech audiometry are impacted by different respond methods. In the open-set test, it's supposed that the subjects should make notes while repeating the contents of the tests, then compare with the aural monitoring records of the tester to keep the reliability of the test.

A simple analytical method by means of on-line solid phase extraction followed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( SPE-LC-MS/MS) was developed for the simultaneous quantitation of 4 endocrine disruptors ( triclosan, triclocarban, bisphenol A and nonylphenol) in dairy products. Infant formula and milk samples were dissolved in acetic acid buffer and hydrolyzed by β-glucuronidase/arylsulfatase. Acetonitrile was used as the extract. Then, the mixture was freeze-centrifuged for 10 min and the supernatant was diluted with water, and analyzed via on-line SPE-LC-MS/MS. The sample extracts were concentrated by an Xbridge C8 cartridge and separated on a BEH C18 column with a gradient mobile phase of methanol and water; then analyzed by triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Mass acquisition was conducted under negative electrospray ionization mode. Quantification was performed by isotopic internal standard calibration. Acceptable linearity (R2>0. 99) was achieved over the range of 0. 005-5. 0 μg/L, with limits of quantification of 0. 03-1. 0μg/kg. Average recoveries of four target compounds (spiked at three concentration levels) ranged from 80. 2%-106. 7%,with relative standard deviation less than 15%. Due to its rapidity, simplicity, and high sensitivity, the method is suitable for the analysis of endocrine disruptors in dairy products. It has been applied in the analysis of raw milk and milk products collected in Beijing. As a result, nonylphenol was found with a high detectable frequency.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of hypophrenia induced by Down syndrome (DS).Methods Ts65Dn mice were used as DS animal model.Three female mice and three male mice of three to twelve weeks old were mated.Among the 17 first-generation mice alive,five mice remained Ts65Dn trisomy and 12 mice were normal.Five Ts65Dn mice and five normal mice were selected randomly as Ts65Dn group and control group,and bred till 16 to 18 weeks old for experiments.Differential proteins in hippocampus of mice were tested by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ).Expressions of the differential proteins in Ts65Dn group were detected compared with those in control group.Results A total of 2805 proteins were identified in hippocampus of Ts65Dn group and control group,and significant differences were observed in the expressions of 374 proteins.Compared with those in control group,expressions of 195 proteins increased and 179 reduced in Ts65Dn group.Sorted by P value from low to high,the seven proteins with the lowest P value were uncharacterized protein C2orf47 homolog,isoform 2 of filamin A-interacting protein 1-like,zinc finger protein,isoform 1 of pericentriolar material 1 protein,SEC23 interacting protein,BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3 and serpin H1.Conclusions Differential proteins are observed in hippocampus of Ts65Dn mice,perhaps closely correlating to neurological defects.The new technology of iTRAQ helps to screen and identify differential proteins in hippocampus.

Tamoxifen and letrozole are two of the most effective pharmaceuticals mainly used in hormonal dependent) breast cancer therapy. A trace analytical method using ultra performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) was developed to simultaneously detect these two drugs in both influent) and effluent of municipal sewage treatment plant. Sewage samples were passed through an Oasis HLB cartridge, then an amino solid phase extraction cartridge was connected with Oasis HLB cartridge. Target compounds) was firstly eluted with 6 mL methanol and then 3 mL methanol was used to elute the amino solid phase extraction cartridge, collected and pooled the elutants. After concentration, target compounds were separated) on a BEH C_(18)) column using a gradient elution profile with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid aqueous) solution and acetonitrile and detected by an electro spray ionization tandem mass spectrometry with multiple reactions monitoring(MRM). Satisfactory linearity(R~2>0.997) was obtained over the range of 1.0-100 μg/L) and 0.1-100 μg/L for tamoxifen and letrozole, respectively, with limits of quantification(LOQ) of 1.0 and 0.1 ng/L. Mean recoveries of two target compounds(spiked in sewage samples at three concentration levels) ranged from 68.8% to 103.0%, with relative standard deviations(RSD) less than 15%. This method can be applied for the analysis of target drugs sewage samples.
