Objective To explore the correlation of the apoptosis of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) with plasma 8-iso-prostaglandin F2? (8-iso-PGF2?) level in order to confirm the peroxidation damage of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates with jaundice.Me-thods One hundred and twenty-nine neonates who were 2 to 7 days old were divided into 4 groups:slight jaundice (43 cases),moderate jaundice (38 cases),serious jaundice (18 cases),and healthy control(30 cases)groups.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? levels were assayed by enzyme immunoassay(EIA),and the apoptosis rates of PBMC were determined by flow cytometry.Results 1.There was no significant difference in the apoptosis rate of PBMC between normal and slight jaundice neonates (P=0.108);apoptosis rate of PBMC was increasing with the aggravation of jaundice.2.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level in normal neonates was 14.74?6.71 ng/L,there was no difference between normal neonates and neonates with slight jaundice(P=0.502).Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? levels in neonates with moderate and serious jaundice were much higher(Pa=0).3.Positive correlation existed between plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level and PBMC apoptosis rate (r=0.602 P=0).Conclusions Hyperbilirubinemia can induce peroxidation damage,resulting in increase of PBMC apoptosis.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level can accurately eva-luate the peroxidation damage in neonates with jaundice.

Recombinant expression vector pcDNA3-MCPCD59DP containing human membrane complement regulatory proteins(hCRPs) MCP and CD59 cDNA was constructed successfully by using two independent promoters.After transfected into NIH3T3 cells with calcium phosphate-DNA precipitate method,NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP transfectants were obtained by G418 selection.Extraneous genes integration was identified by PCR.The co-expression of human CD59 and MCP at both mRNA and protein levels was confirmed by using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis.Human MCP and CD59 cDNA were integrated in NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP genomic DNA after continuous 30 times passages,indicating that NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP were stable cell lines.Human complement-mediated cytolysis assays showed that NIH3T3 cells transfected stably with pcDNA3-CD59,pcDNA3-MCP,and pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP were protected from C-mediated damage and co-expressed human MCP and CD59 provided more excellent protection against C-mediated attack as compared with either CD59 or MCP expressed alone.The dicistronic vector represents an effective and efficacy strategy to overcome C-mediated damage and has potential therapeutic value for effectively controlling complement activation and finally for preventing hyperacute rejection in clinical gene therapy.

Objective To determine the relevant factors of under staging and under grading in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and to define important predictors of under staging in this population. Methods The clinical T stages and biopsy Gleason scores were compared with the pathological T stages and prostatectomy Gleason scores in 55 patients. Results Among the 55 cases,50 were preoperatively classified as clinical stages T 1～T 2,of whom 21(42%) were postoperatively classified as pathological stages T 3～T 4.Of the 26 cases who preoperatively had the Gleason scores of 2 to 6,11(42%) had postoperatively pathological grades of 7 to 10.Logistic regression analysis revealed that PSA( P =0.0159)at diagnosis and the percentage of positive biopsies of prostate ≥50%( P =0.0013) were significant predictors for preoperative clinical staging lower than postoperative pathological staging. Conclusions The results demonstrate that patients who were classified as clinical stages T 1～T 2 with PSA≥20 ng/ml and percentage of positive biopsies≥50% may have high possibility of under staging.

Recent years,progress has been made on the basic researches and clinical applications of ocular surface reconstruction with autologous or allogeneic limbal stem cells,oral mucosa epithelium and ex vivo cultured limbal stem cells.However,there are several issues,including the successful treatment for severe ocular damage,longterm follow-up and evaluation of clinical outcome,and the in vivo tracking of donor stem cells,remained to have definitive conclusions.Future studies should address the questions and challenges based on the basic research of limbal stem cell deficiency and standardized evaluation of clinical outcome.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) on pregnancy outcomes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods One hundred and sixty-six pregnant patients with SLE from Janurary 2010 to December 2015 were studied retrospectively . Fifty-two patients were excluded due to new-onset during pregnancy, active disease or termination of pregnancy as a result of continuous intaking of immunosuppressant. The remaining 114 SLE patients in stable condition before pregnancy were divided into the following two groups: prednisone combined with HCQ and prednisone alone. The effects of HCQ on disease activity and pregnancy outcome were analyzed. Differences between groups were analyzed by chi-square test. Results A total of 90 patients (78.9%) had successful pregnancy. Among 71 patients treated with prednisone combined with HCQ, 60 patients (84.5%) had no disease flare and 62 cases (87.3%) had successful pregnancy. Among 43 patients treated with prednisone alone, 28 patients (65.1%) had no disease flare and 28 cases (65.1%) had successful pregnancy. No abnormality of neither visual field nor fundus was observed among patients treated with HCQ. No congenital abnormalities were found among new born infants. Conclusion HCQ intake during pregnancy in SLE patients can reduce disease flare and improve the pregnancy outcome, indicating that HCQ is safe for SLE patients during pregnancy.

Objective To study the relation between Jiegeng loading drug up in Tianwang Buxin Wan and brain,heart and lung.Method 32 Wister rats were randomly divided into four groups(8 rats in each group),namely,control group,Jiegeng group,Tianwang Buxin Wan group,Tianwang Buxin Wan lacked Jiegeng group.The levels of cyclic nucleotide in the brain,heart and lung were assayed by radioimmunoassay.Result The levels of cAMP in the lung in every drug group were significantly increased compared with that of control group.It was significant on the level of cAMP in the lung between Tianwang Buxin Wan group and Tianwang Buxin Wan lacked Jiegeng group.Conclusion It was the lung that linked the effect of Jiegeng loading drug up in Tianwang Buxin Wan.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of phenytoin accelerating healing process.Methods Adult male Wistar rats that survived ligatation of the left coronary artery were randomized to phenytoin group or operation control and compared to sham-operated rats.The time-dependent proteolytic activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by gelatin zymography.Picrosirius red staining plus polarized light micrscopy was used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of collagen include collagen volume fraction(CVF) and ratio of typeⅠ/Ⅲ collagen.In addition,infarct thickness and myocyte cross-sectional area were also evaluated by image analysis.Results Fourteen days after myocardial infartion(MI),phenytoin reduced infarct wall thinning.Compared with control group,the rats received phenytoin had less myocyte cross-sectional area.Two weeks after MI,CVF in two groups both had significantly dynamic increase and phenytoin accelerated the change.In contrast to control group,ratio of typeⅠto type Ⅲ collagen in phenytoin increased more quickly.Apart from these results,phenytoin did little to CVF in non-infarcted region.Analysis of MMPs activity in myocardial extracts by zymography demonstrated that infarction-induced expression of proMMPs and active MMPs was both upregulated in phenytoin group and operation control.We found that after MI,MMP-9 activity increased as early as 1 day and reached a maximum then gradually descended,whereas MMP-2 began to increase rapidly and remain elevated for up to 14 days thereafter.Phenytoin seemed toenhance expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.1 day after MI,active MMP-9 in phenytoin group expressed an increasing trendency compared to MI control.Conclusion Phenytoin can attenuate the degree of post-infarction left ventricular dilation and expansion of the infarct during the early phase of MI healing.MMP-2 and MMP-9 enhanced by phenytoin probably played a prominent role.

Objective To assess the clinical value of 18F -FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of primary, suspected recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer.Methods The results of 67 women who were suspected suffering from cervical cancer had undergone Color dopplar ultrasound,HPV,TCT,some of them do CT,MRI and SCC -Ag examination from April 2013 to April 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Their 18F -FDG PET/CT images with the other test results were compared.The presence or absence of tumor was confirmed by histopathology.Results In the 67 patients,22 cases were finally diagnosed as primary cervical tumors,and 22 cases of recurrent and metastatic cervical tumors.In all the patients with cervical cancer,18F -FDG PET/CT found a total of 41 cases,which had contributed to the diagnosis in 94.0%,But 3 cases had not been found.For the detection of primary cervical tumors, 18F -FDG PET/CT was diagnostically wrong in 4.2%,For the detection of recurrent and metastatic cervical tumors, 18F -FDG PET/CT was diagnostically wrong in 7.0%,and 2 cervical adenocarcinoma patients were not diagnosed by 18F -FDG PET/CT.Conclusion The study showed a significantly higher sensitivity of 18F -FDG PET/CT for the detection of primary,recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer than the other auxiliary examination.18F -FDG PET/CT for the diagnosis of cervical cancer can be worth popularization.
