Objective To explore the effect of low dose Changle (rare earth complex) on the antioxidation in rats kidney. Methods The activities of Cu-Zn SOD,CAT,LPO and GSH-Px in the rat kidney were determined by biochemical methods after the rats (Wistar rats) were given different doses of Changle by gavage for 6 months respectively. Results The activity of Cu-Zn SOD and CAT in the 10.0 and 20.0 mg/kg groups reduced significantly,but the activity of LPO and GSH-Px increased. The activity of Cu-Zn SOD and CAT in the 2.0,0.2 and 0.1 mg/kg groups increased,but LPO reduced. Conclusion High exposure to Changle may enhance the peroxidation,but low exposure to Changle may enhance the antioxidation in rat kidney.

Objective To investigate the long-term effects of low dosage Changle intake on the serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen of rats. Methods The levels of serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen in rat were measured by radioimmunoassay and microscopy image analysis system after 6 and 7 months of administrated with Changle(0. 1, 0.2, 2.0 and 10.0 mg/kg). Results Taken Changle for 6 months, the serum insulin level in the 10.0 mg/kg group reduced, hepatocyte glycogen level increased in the female and the male rats. In 0.1, 0.2, and 2.0 mg/kg groups, the serum insulin level increased and the hepatocyte glycogen level decreased in the male. After 6 months of the Changle treatment, the treatment was then followed by normal food, one month later, the level of serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen returned to the normal level. Conclusion A long-term low dosage exposure of Changle can induce the serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen changes in rats and the serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen levels may return to the normal levels after a short time of stopping Changle intake.

Objective:To probe into the long-term effect of La(NO3)3 fed orally on gast ric mucosa of rats.Methods:The gastric mucosa of rats was studied after La(NO3)3 was administe red orally for a long-term,by the use of ordinary histological technology and m orphometry.Results:In the groups of 20 mg·kg-1 and 10 mg·kg-1,the cytopl asma of more parietal cells lying in the top of the gastric gland was loose.Proporti on of cell types of the gastric gland was related to the doses. The acid mucus l evel of the mucous neck cells of male rats in the groups of 20 mg·kg-1 an d 10 m·kg-1 decreased. In the groups of 2 mg2kg-1, 0.2 mg·kg -1 and 0.1 mg*kg-1,the acid mucus level of the mucous neck cells of both male and female rats increased.Conclusion:La(NO3)3 fed orally for a long-term could injure gastric muc osa in higher dose (20 mg·kg-1,10 mg·kg-1) but promote the protect ive action of the gastric mucosa in lower dose (0.2 mg·kg-1,0.1 mg·kg- 1).

Objective To identify snoRNA, which may be related to prognosis of gastric cancer. Methods Ninetygastric cancer patients who diagnosed at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were randomly collected in this study, and their clinical data were followed up. A total of 405 snoRNA expression profiles were analyzed in 90 gastric cancer patients. Patients were classified aslow expressiongroup orhigh expressiongroup according to the median expression of each snoRNA expression, which was calculated by univariate and multivariate survival analysis. We also screened out the snoRNAs, in which patients were survived differently. Patients were classified as high, middle, or low risk groups based on the snoRNA risk score. Values of age, gender, smoking, drinking, histological differentiation (well, moderately-differentiated and poorly differentiated), clinical stage (Ⅰ+Ⅱstage andⅢ+Ⅳstage), tumor size (<5 cm and≥5 cm), tumor location (upper 1/3 and others) and snoRNA risk score (high, middle, and low risk group) were assessed by multivariate Cox analysis. Results There were significant differences in overall survival and (or) progression-free survival rates in 19 patients with high and low snoRNAs expressions (P<0.05). Results of multivariate Cox analysis showed that patients with high expression of ACA61,ACA27 and U36A showed a higher overall survival and progression-free survival rates, while patients with high expression of ENSG00000206898 showed a lower overall survival and progression-free survival survival rates (P<0.01). SnoRNA risk score is an independent prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer. Compared with low risk group, patients in middle risk group and in high risk group showed a shorter overall survival and progression-free survival rates (P<0.001). Conclusion The expressions of ACA61, ACA27, U36A and ENSG00000206898 are independent prognostic factors of gastric cancer. Low expressions of the first three indexes and high expressions of the last one predict a bad prognosis.

Objective To study the expression of nitricoxide(NO) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in the animals with hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis(AS) in order to investigate the relationship of hypercholesterolemia with AS and vascular endothelium function and ICAM-1. Methods Fed rabbits with high-cholesterol diet to establish the models of hypercholesterolemia and AS,and the control group was fed with normal diet;Blood was collected from vein in 0,8 and 16 weeks in two groups,and the concentrations of TC,LDL,NO and ICAM-1 were measured;The correlation among TC,LDL and NO,ICAM-1 was observed;After 16 weeks,the rabbits were put to death,and immunohistochemistry analysis and RT-PCR were performed to measure the expression of ICAM-1 in the aortas.Results TC and LDL in 8 weeks were higher in the high-cholestrol diet group,but NO and ICAM-1 had no change;NO decreased and ICAM-1 increased in 16 weeks(P

Objective To investigate the relationship between mtND4 point mutation in sperms and asthenospermia. Methods Fifty-six asthenospermia cases and 44 control cases were collected using the WHO criterion for defining asthenospermia, the regions of mtND4 gene were amplified by using PCR of 3 pairs primers. Consequently, the point mutation, missense mutation and multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were analyzed by employing sequencing technology and bioinformatics tools. Results Six mutations never before identified were found. The frequency of single point mutation T10873C and T11944C in the control group were significantly higher than those in the asthenospermia group (P＜0.05). Eight cases involved T10873C or T11944C among the 10 cases in control groups with missense mutations were found. But, there were only 2 cases with such mutation in the 10 asthenospermia cases with missense mutations (P＜0.05). The previous 20 cases of missense mutations can be described as either multiple SNP group (with T10873C or T11944C) or nonmultiple SNP group. The percentage of a range and a plus b range of multiple SNP group of sperm was significantly higher than the non-multiple SNP group(P＜0.05). Conclusions mtND4 gene mutation, especially the missense mutation may induce loss of sperm motility. The mutations of T10873C and T11944C may be useful for sperm motility or counteract the influence for the sperm motility caused by these harmful mutations.
