0.05).Conclusion TP may have protective effects on chronical hypoxia induced polycythemia in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of pigment epithelium- derived factor (PEDF) on p38MAPK-CREB pathway and the expression of fibronectin (FN) in human mesangial cells (HMCs) cultured with high glucose. Methods HMCs were treated with different concentrations of glucose and the osmotic control respectively in the presence or absence of PEDF for 24 h:normal glucose (5.6 mmol/L),24.4 mmol/L mannitol,high glucose (30 mmol/L),high glucose+PEDF(30 mmol/L glucose with 10 nmol/L PEDF,40 nmol/L PEDF or 100 nmol/L PEDF).After samples were collected,the expression of phospho-p38MAPK (p-p38) and p-CREB was assessed by Western blotting,while FN mRNA and protein expression was assessed with RT-PCR and ELISA respectively. Results In contrast to normal glucose and mannitol treatments,the expression of p-p38MAPK,p-CREB and FN increased significantly in high glucose group (all P＜ 0.01).However,PEDF abolished the up-regulation of p-p38MAPK,p-CREB and FN induced by high glucose (all P＜0.05). Conclusion PEDF may inhibit fibrosis through P38MAPK-CREB pathway in diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To investigate the relationship of nitric oxide with nitric oxide synthase system in fetal rat kidney and the mechanism of renal injury after acute intrauterine ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion. Methods Wistar rats of 21 gestational days were selected and divided into seven groups according to the different ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion time. The level of nitric oxide and the expression of nitric oxide synthase system were detected by biochemistry, immunohistochemistry and RT PCR. Results The NO level was decreased gradually with extension of ischemia, which was significantly different from sham group ( P

AIM: To express the synthesized human insul in like growth factor I (hIGF-1) gene in E.coli with high expression level a nd explore the way to increase the efficiency of factor Xa cleavage. METHODS: The gene of hIGF-1 was designed and synthesized accordi n g to the preference of E.coli. A fusion protein with a recognized site of fa ctor Xa between CBD (cellulose binding domain) and hIGF-1 was expressed and puri fied by cellulose affinity chromatography. MTT method was used to assay the bioa ctivity of CBD-IGF fusion protein. hIGF-1 was released by factor Xa. In order to improve the sensitivity of fusion protein to factor Xa, the short flexible pept ide (Gly-Thr-Gly- Gly-Gly-Ser-Gly) was added before the recognized site of fac tor Xa. RESULTS: SDS-PAGE results indicated that the CBD-IGF fusion prot ein was expressed and purified . Biological assay results indicated CBD-IGF fusi on protein could promote the growth of NIH3T3 cell. The short flexible peptide (Gly-Thr-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser-Gly), which was added before the recognized site of f actor Xa, improved the sensitivity of fusion protein to factor Xa. CONCLUSION: CBD-IGF fusion protein with bioactivite are expresse d and purified. The amio acid sequences changes between the site recognize of fa ctor Xa can help to improve the cleavage efficiency of Factor Xa.

Objective To observe the effect of different doses of propofol injection and propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection in short time infusion on plasma ketone body ratio,to eva-lute its effecton hepatic energy metabolism.Methods Forty patients,aged 18-50 years old,ASA Ⅰ orⅡ undergoing selective surgery were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 cases in each;propofol injection 4 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintain anesthesia (group L4 ),propofol injection 6 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintain anesthesia (group L6 ),propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection 4 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintain anesthesia (group M4 ),propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection 6 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintain anesthesia (group M6 ).MAP,HR,SpO2 and PET CO2 were recorded before anesthesia induction (T0 ),after tracheal intubation (T1 ),after 2 hours infusion of propofol (T2 )and operation completed (T3 ).The blood samples were collected at T1 and T2 to detect the level of acetoacetate,β-hydroxybu-tyrate and to calculate the blood ketone body ratio (the ratio of acetoacetate andβ-hydroxybutyrate). Results MAP,HR,SpO2 ,PET CO2 at T0-T3 and acetoacetate,β-hydroxybutyrate,blood ketone body ratio at T1 ,T2 showed no significant statistic difference.Conclusion Different doses of propofol and different doses of propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection in short time continuous in-fusion has no obvious effect on hepatic energy metabolism;same dose of propofol injection and propo-fol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection in short time continuous infusion has no obvious effect on hepatic energy metabolism.

Objective To explore the distribution and genotypes of plasmid-mediated quionlone resistance (PMQR)genes and intI1 integrase genes in Enterobacteriaceae isolates.Methods The PMQR genes and intI1 integrase genes were identified by polymerase chain reaction in the nonduplicate strains of E.coli (80),E.cloacae (18)and K.pneunoniae (27).The positive PCR products were subj ect to DNA sequencing analysis.The gene-positive strains were tested by conj ugation experiment.The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs)of donor,recipient strains and transconj ugants were tested by agar dilution method with quinolones and other antimicrobial agents.Results Sixteen (12.8%)of the 125 Enterobacteriaceae isolates were qnr gene positive,including 8 qnrS1 positive and 8 qnrB6 positive.Furthermore,the aac(6′)-Ib-cr gene was identified in 15 (12.0%) strains.Twenty PMQR-positive isolates harbored intI1 integrase gene.The conjugation experiments were successful in 12 of the 26 PMQR-positive isolates and 7 of the 20 intI1-positive isolates.The MICs of quinolones and other antimicrobial agents against the transconj ugants were higher than the MIC values against recipient strains.Conclusions The PMQR genes are prevalent in Enterobacteriaceae isolates.The PMQR-positive isolates can co-harbor integrase genes.These resistance genes have the feature of horizontal transfer,to which close attention should be paid.

One hundred and twenty cases of osteosarcoma were reported.Re-examination of all the tissue specimens revealed that typical neoplastic osteoid was found only in 83% of the cases.It is now generally accepted that the demonstration of osteoid is not essential for the diagnosis,but the microscopic features of sarcomatous stroma,pheomorphism of osteoblasts,anaplastic giant cells,chondrosarcomatous and fihrosarcomatous tissue are of diagnostic importance.The differential diagnosis between neoplastid osteoid and pseudo-osteoid(fibrillar hyalin-ized collagen)were discussed.Forty-eight surgical specimens were stained with polyclonal actin,monoclonal BMP,vi-mentin,collagen type IV and UEA-1 with immunohistochemical ABC.It was found that when there was combined positive expression of monoclonal BMP,vimentin,collagen type IV,UEA-1 and polyclonal actin,or monoclonal BMP,vimentin UEA-1 and/or polyclonal actin,or monoclonal BMP,vimentin and/or polyclonal actin,it was of diagnostic value.However,the five markers were of no value to distinguish fibrillar hyalinized collagen from osteoid stroma.It is believed that the appropriate combination of the immunohistochemical markers is imperative to promote the accuracy of the pathological diagnosis of osteosarcoma and its differential diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) combined with intraoperative cholanggiography (IOC)and intraoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy (IOEST) for the treatment of cholecystocholedocolithiasis. Methods 106 cases with cholecystocholedocolithiasis diagnosed and treated by LC combined with IOC and IOEST were reviewed retrospectively. Results 60 40%(64/106)patients diagnosed cholelithiasis pre-LC were found choledocholithisis; LC combined with IOC and IOEST was successfully performed on 99 of 106 cases(93 40%),and their CBD stones were completely cleared in 98 of 99 cases(99 00%). Six cases(6 1%) were complicated with mild acute pancreatitis, 1 case(0 01%) with duodenal perforation,1 case(0 01%) with bile leakage, and 2 cases(0 02%) with stomach stasis. Conclusions LC combined with IOC and IOEST was a safe ,effective approach to diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis.
