Objective To investigate the biological effects of insulin resistance(IR)on the porcine granulosa cells which iS induced by wortmannin,the PI-3K inhibitor and mediated by key molecules including GLUT4 and MAPK during insulin signaling.Methods The model of IR porcine granulosa cell was established in in vitro culture by treatment of wortmannin,and was assessed the amount of3H glucose uptake as well as medium glucose levels by glucose oxidase method.The protein and mRNA expression of GLUT4 and MAPK were evaluated by immunofluorescence and RT-PCR respectively.Resuits The glucose intake was decreased by 40% with treatment of wortmannin at 1.5 μmol/L(P<0.05).GLUT4 and MAPK were localized mainly to cytoplasm of grantdose cells.When granulosa cells were insulin resistant,the expression of GLUT4 was down-regulated whereas MAPK was up-regulated as compared with the controls.Conclusions Wortmannin treatment can lcad to decreased expression of GLUT4 and increase of IR granulose cells.This metabolic phenotype could induce increased expression of MAPK and mitogenic potential,indicating the cross-talk between two pathways of insulin signaling within ovarian cells.

ObjectiveTo understand the detections of influenza A (H1N1) in 2009,and haemagglutinin (HA) gene mutations and the comparisons with standard strains.MethodsThe nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) in National Influenza Sentinel Surveillance Hospital and the outbreak epidemic area were collected.The virus typing and A (H1N1) viruses were tested by real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Then the pathogens were isolated with MDCK cells,the virus titer was determined with hemagglutination test and the virus typing was identified with hemagglutination inhibition test (HA1).The RT-PCR products of HA1 gene of virulent strains were sequenced and then analyzed through bioinformatics.Results A total of 996 pharyngeal swab specimens were tested,and nucleic acid positive cases included 337 A (H1N1) subtype,1 seasonal A (H1N1) subtype,67 A (H3N2) subtype,and 12 B type.The positive rate of nucleic acid detection of influenza was 41.87% and that of A (H1N1) was 33.84%.Thirty-six influenza A (H1N1) virus strains were isolated,and 10 of them were successfully sequenced and several amino acid mutations were identified.There were 6 amino acid mutations found compared with vaccine strain A/California/07/2009 (H1N1),and 1 site was in area B of epitope.Conclusions A (H1N1) is absolute predominant among isolated strains in 2009.HA gene of virulent strains is mutated compared with vaccine strain provided by World Health Organization,which shows that the area B of epitope changes,while the key amino acid position 222 doesn't change.

Objective To study activation effect of a natural compound baicalein on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator(CFTR) chloride channel.Methods A cell-based fluorescence assay was used to determine CFTR-mediate iodide influx rate/dt(mmol?L-1?s-1)] activated by baicalein(the concentrations were 0.18,0.55,1.65,5,15,44,133 and 400 ?mol?L-1).Results The Ka of flavonoid baicalein stimulating CFTR was about 16 ?mol?L-1.The half of maximal activity was reached in ten minutes and the activation disappeared in 20 min after baicalein was washed out.The activation of baicalein was not affected obviously under different concentrations of Forsklin(0,20,50 and 100 nmol?L-1)and the activation could be totally inhibited by CFTRinh-172.Conclusion Baicalein can stimulate CFTR-mediated iodide influx in a dose-dependent way and its activity manifests a rapid and reversible characteristic.It might work in both elevating CFTR protein phosphorylation and direct binding way.

Objective To investigate the protective mechanism of octahedral montone in rats with acute pancreatitis.Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into a sham-operation ( SO) group, a severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group and a treatment with octahedral montone group.Retrograde pancreatic ductal injection of 5% cholate sodium in rats was used to establish SAP models.Sham operation was done with intraperitoneal injection of normal saline.In the treated group octahedral montone was given through enema half hour before inducing SAP model.Then, we evaluate the pancreatic injury and detect the level of TNF-alpha, diamine oxidase ( DAO) and endotoxin.Western blot and RT-PCR were used to determine the expressions of the tight junction protein occludin in the endothelial cells of intestinal mucosa at the time of hour 3,6, 12 after operation.Results ( 1 ) The pathological scores of pancreatitis were significantly higher in the SAP group than those in the treatment group and SO group (P < 0.05 ).(2) Compared with the SO group, the level of TNF-alpha in the SAP group and the treatment group was much higher ( P < 0.05 ) , but the level in the treatment group was lower than that in the SAP group ( P < 0.05 ).(3) The serum concentration of DAO and endotoxin was significantly increased in the SAP group, and the concentration in treatment group was higher than that in the SO group (P <0.01) , but lower than that in the SAP group ( P <0.01 ).The occludin protein and mRNA expression in the SAP group was the lowest and the expression in the treatment group was higher than that in the SAP group (P <0.01) ,but lower than that in the SO group (P < 0.01).Conclusions Octahedral montone can improve the colonic barrier function, reduce the endotoxemia, and ameliorate the inflammation during acute pancreatitis.

Purpose To investigate the pathological characteristics of loco-regional recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( rNPC ) . Methods Nasopharyngeal biopsy specimens of 46 rNPCs and 63 primary NPCs were collected. HE staining, immunohistochemistry and EBV small RNAs ( EBERs) in-situ hybridization were performed. Results The over-expression rates of both p63 and CK5/6 in rNPC were significantly higher than those of primary NPCs (P=0. 005, P=0. 026), while no statistical significance of Ki-67 over-ex-pression existed between the two groups ( P=0. 387 ) . More necrotic tissues, inflammatory exudates, giant bizarre carcinoma cells, desmoplastic stroma, giant bizarre tumor cells and higher degree of squamous differentiation were found in rNPCs. The carcinoma cells of 5 rNPCs were negative for both EBERs in-situ hybridization and LMP-1 immunohistochemical staining. Conclusion The loco-re-gional rNPC has two peaks of latency interval:2~5 and 9~11 years. The loco-regional rNPC cells have higher degree of squamous differentiation with higher expression of p63 and CK5/6, as well as more invasive ability. In addition, both EBERs in-situ hybridization and LMP-1 immunostaining are negative in 10. 87% (5/46) of loco-regional rNPC.

The antigenic drift of virus strains is due to accumulation of amino acid substitutions
