AIM: To observe the changes of morphology, the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and membrane pump activities of spleen tissue in acute renal failure (ARF) rabbits, and to inquire into the role of spleen on pathogenesis of immune function disorders during ARF. METHODS: 42 rabbits were divided into control group, HgCl_2 group and glycerinum group. The ARF model was established by hypodermic injection of 1% HgCl_2 at dose of 1.3 mL/kg in HgCl_2 group, intramuscularly injection of 50% glycerinum at dose of 10 mL/kg in glycerinum group, respectively, and the animals were divided into the 12 h, 24 h, 48 h secondary groups (6 rabbits each group). At different time points, the rabbits were cannulated to facilitate the collection of blood sample to examine the biochemical indexes of renal function. The spleen microscopic sections were prepared for observing the morphology. The spleen homogenate was made for determining the activities of MPO and membrane pumping. RESULTS: Pathological sections of spleen showed that the different degree of congestion was found and spleen trabecula was increased in two model groups at multiple-time points. The MPO activity of spleen homogenate in HgCl_2 group and glycerinum group at all time points were obviously higher than that in control group, and at 24 h, the MPO activitie in two model groups was significantly increased than that in the same group at 12 h and 48 h. The activities of Na~+-K~+-ATPase, Ca~(2+)-ATPase, Mg~(2+)-ATPase, Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase of spleen homogenate in two model groups at multiple time points were significantly lower than those in control group. Following ARF development, the ATPase activitie in two model groups at 48 h was lower than that at 12 h except the Mg~(2+)-ATPase in glycerinum group. CONCLUSION: Spleen as an immune organ has histological damage, arrest of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and dysfunction of membrane pump during the development of ARF in rabbits, leading to immune disorders.

Objective To investigate the different effect of exogenous leptin on estrogen receptor α,β mRNA in human breast tumor tissue in nude mice xenograft models. Methods We made nude mice xenograft models of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells cultured in vitro, then divided them into experimental group of]eptin( n = 30)and control group of normal saline( n = 30)randomly. The models of experimental group were injected subcutaneously the recombinant human leptin for 15 consecutive days, the models of control group were injected subcutaneously the same dose of normal saline. A real- time quantitative RT- PCR assay was developed to quantify the expression of estrogen receptor α, β mRNA in tumor tissue, using the relative quantitative analysis. Results The leptin-intervened nude mice xenograft models were safely established. The relative quantitation of estrogen receptor α mRNA was significantly higher in the leptin group than in the normal saline group ( P < 0.01 ), the relative quantitation of estrogen receptor β mRNA was significantly lower in the leptin group than in the normal saline group ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The nude mice xenograft models can be safely intervened with human leptin by subcutaneous injection around tumor.Estrogen receptor is one of the targets of leptin in the progress of breast cancer. Exogenous human leptin can up- regulate the expression of estrogen receptor α and down- regulate the expression of the estrogen receptor βin nude mice xenograft models of human breast tumor.

Objective To investigate the expression of endostatin and angiopoietin (Ang)-2 in human ghoma and its significance. Methods The expression of endostatin and Ang-2 were measured by immunohistochemistry and endostatin mBNA by hybridization in situ in 108 cases of brain glioma and 5 cases of normal brain tissues. Results The expression of endostatin (0.0657±0.0038)and Ang-2 (0.0286± 0.0042) were significantly higher in grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ glioma patients than those in grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ ghoma patients (0.0349±0.0048,0.0084±0.0018, respectively) and normal brain tissues (0,0)(P<0.01). The expression of endostatin mRNA were significantly higher in grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ glioma patients (0.0310±0.0041) than that in grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ glioma patients (0.0152±0.0031) and normal brain tissues (0)(P< 0.01 ). Theratio of endo-stalin to Ang-2 was negatively rehted to the grade of glioma (r=-0.810,P <0.01). Conclusion The interaction of endostatin and Ang-2 plays an important role in the invasive growth and malignant development of human glioma, and may be related to the prognosis and the malignant degree of glioma.

Objective To observe the effect of Shengji corium elephatis mastic in treating chronic refractory skin ulcer, and analyze its preliminary mechanism. Methods Totally 62 patients with chronic refractory skin ulcer in granulation stage were randomly divided into two groups, 32 cases of treatment group were treated with Shengji corium elephatis mastic, and 30 cases of control group were treated with Vaseline gauze. All patients were treated for 4 weeks. The rate of wound healing, wound reduction ratio and wound secretion level of VEGF were observed. Results The cure rate and the total effective rate between the two groups had significant difference (P<0.05). After 2 weeks treatment, the mean wound reduction area of treatment group and control group was 82.31%and 66.32%respectively. After 4 weeks treatment, the mean wound reduction area of treatment group and control group was 90.35%and 78.7%respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After 1, 2 and 3 weeks treatment, the treatment group had significant difference with the control group in wound secretion VEGF level (P<0.05). Conclusion Shengji corium elephatis mastic can promote wound healing of chronic refractory skin ulcer. The possible mechanism is that Shengji corium elephatis mastic promotes the generation of VEGF in wound thus promotes wound repair.

Objective To compare the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) between sequential embryo transfer and simple blastocyst transplantation in patients with previous multiple IVF failures. Methods A total of 170 patients with repeated implantation failure were divided into sequential transfer group (n=71) and blastocyst transfer only group (n=99). A retrospective matched case-control analysis was made for the medical files of 71 patients who underwent sequential transfer of D3 embryos and blastocysts. The control group included 99 matched women who underwent embryo transfer on D5/6 only. All of the patients in two groups used the same protocols of emdometrium preparation (natural cycle or hormone-replacement cycle) and ultrasound-guided transplantation. The embryo implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate were compared and analyzed between two groups. Results Sequential transfer of embryos resulted in a clinical pregnancy rate of 60.6%compared with that of 31.3%following D5/6 embryo transfer, and the implantation rate was 34.8%and 23.8%respectively (P<0.05). Although the total number of transfered embryos were higher in sequential transfer group than that of blastula transfer only group, the number of D5/6 embryo transfered in sequential transfer group were less than blastula transfer only group (P<0.05). And the number of high quality blastula transfered showed no statistical significant difference between two groups. There were 20 cases of twin and 5 cases of triplet pregnancy in sequential transfer group, which were 5 cases and 1 case in blastula transfer only group respectively. While, there was no case of muliple pregnancy beyond triplet in both groups Conclusion Sequential transfer of embryos can be used for women with repeated IVF cycles. The program avoids the possibility of eliminating the transplant, and which is effective in patients with more transplant embryos.
