Objective To investigate the difference of gene expression in two human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines, 5-fluorouracil resistant cell line SGC7901/R and its parental cell line SGC7901, and to screen related genes of JAK/STAT signaling pathway by gene chip. Methods The mRNAs of two cell lines were extracted and purified. The two cDNA probes were made from these two mRNAs which were labelled by (biotin-)16-dUTP, hybridized with human JAK/STAT signaling pathway gene array and scanned for intensity, respectively. The acquired images were analyzed by software. Different expression genes were then screened out. The mRNA expressions of Stat3, NF-?B1 and bcl-x were analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, (respectively.) Results A parallel comparison between the gene profiles of JAK/STAT signalling pathway in two cell lines showed that a total of 70 genes were screened out whose expressive level was more than 2 folds in 5-flurouracil resistant cell line SGC7901/R and its parental cell line SGC7901. Among these genes, 40 were upregulated and the other 30 were down-regulated. The results of RT-PCR were consistent with those of microarray scanning. Conclusions The knowledge of gene expression profile of JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which was changed in 5-fluorouracil resistant cell line of human gastric adenocarcinoma, has proven to be useful for illustrating the multi-drug resistance mechanisms of gastric cancer.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Gegen Decoction plus Sini Powder for polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) women with acne and to explore its possible therapeutic mechanism.Methods Seventy cases of PCOS women with acne aged 18-45 years were randomized into treatment group and control group,35 cases in each group.The treatment group was given Gegen Decoction plus Sini Powder orally and the control group was given Diane-35 orally.The treatment lasted for 12 weeks.After treatment,the skin lesions and symptom scores were observed.The body mass index (BMI),serum dihydrotestosterone (DHT),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were detected before and after treatment.Results (1) The markedly effective rate of the treatment group was 80.00％ and that of the control group was 57.14％,the difference being significant between the two groups(P ＜ 0.05).(2) After treatment,the total scores of the symptoms and the scores of each symptom such as sweating,sleeping and physical strength in both groups were decreased(P ＜ 0.01),and the decrease in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).(3) The BMI and serum levels of DHT,IL-6 and IL-8 in both groups were significantly decreased after treatment (P ＜ 0.01),and the decrease in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Gegen Decoction plus Sini Powder is effective for the treatment of PCOS women with acne,and the mechanism is probably related with the decrease of BMI and serum DHT,IL-6 and IL-8 levels.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of pressured rapid volume expansion in the treatment of hemorrhagic shock under the monitoring of central venous pressure(CVP).Methods Forty patients with hemorrhagic shock were randomly divided into two groups: the study group (groupⅠ,n=20) and the control group(groupⅡ,n=20).In groupⅠ,the patients were treated with rapid intravenous infusion by pressured soft fluid in bags under the CVP,and the patients received traditional transfusion method in groupⅡ.Results The average amount of transfusion in 30 minutes and the total amount in perioperative period were(1271?170) ml and(5311?410) ml in groupⅠrespectively,and in groupⅡ,the results were(721?140) ml and(3273?330) ml respectively.The recovery of systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),central venous pressure(CVP) and pulse oxygen saturation(SpO_2),the time of recovered urination and cure rate in groupⅠ were significantly better than those in groupⅡ.The mortality reduced in the study group.Conclusion With the monitoring of CVP,the pressured rapid volume expansion is an effective treatment for hemorrhagic shock.With the pressured rapid volume expansion,the circulating blood volume of patients can be recovered rapidly and the perfusion of important organs,tissues and cells be maintained.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Shenshuning Recipe (SSNR) on gene expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in renal tissues in rats with glomerulosclerosis. METHODS: Glomerulosclerosis was induced in 42 rats by unilateral nephrectomy and intravenous injection of doxorubicin. Then these 42 rats were randomly divided into three groups: untreated group, SSNR-treated group and benazepril-treated group. Another eight rats were included into sham-operation group. The rats in the SSNR-treated group and the benazepril-treated group were fed SSNR or benazepril respectively for 8 weeks. The levels of 24 h urine protein (Upr), serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) of rats in each group were examined. The renal morphological changes were observed under microscope, and the diameter of glomerular capillary, mesangial matrix and glomerulosclerosis index were analyzed by image analysis software. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was used to detect the gene expression of HGF in the renal tissues. RESULTS: The levels of 24 h Upr, serum Cr and BUN in the untreated group were remarkably increased than those in the sham-operation group (P<0.01). The pathological morphological changes in the untreated group showed that the glomerulosclerosis was diffused around the renal tissue and the capillaries were shrunk. The expression level of mesangial matrix was up-regulated and the glomerulosclerosis index was 3.32+/-0.35. The expression level of HGF mRNA in the untreated group was obviously lower than that in the sham-operation group (P<0.05). The levels of 24 h Upr, serum Cr and BUN in the SSNR-treated group and the benazepril-treated group were remarkably decreased as compared with those in the untreated group, while the expression levels of HGF mRNA were both obviously higher than that in the untreated group (P<0.01). The pathological morphological changes in the SSNR-treated group and the benazepril-treated group were both alleviated. There was no significant difference in therapeutic effect between the SSNR-treated group and the benazepril-treated group. CONCLUSION: Shenshuning Recipe can up-regulate the expression of HGF mRNA, decrease the mesangial matrix, and improve the renal function, so that it may retard the development of glomerulosclerosis.

Objective L-selectin is an important adhesion molecule,which is the lymph cell's homing receptor specifically expressed on leukocytes.A non-lymphoma cell line-HCa-F has the high potential ability of metastasis to peripheral lymph nodes,whose character is similar to lymphoma's.We want to explore whether the HCa-F cell's metastasis mechanism is also similar to lymphoma's,that is to say,whether HCa-F cell can also express L-selectin and the expression of L-selectin bring about the lymph node metastasis character. Methods First,?-fetoprotein,CD3 and CD20's monoclonal antibodies were used to identify the origin of HCa-F cell;then we analysed whether the HCa-F cell can express L-selectin by means of flow cytometry analysis,RT-PCR,and Western blotting;finally,Stamper-Woodruff method was used to examine the L-selectin's function. Results Immunostaining showed that the HCa-F cell was ?-fetoprotein positive,CD3 and CD20 negative cell line,which suggests that it is a liver cell line.And results of flow cytometry,RT-PCR,and Western blotting showd that HCa-F cell can express L-selectin.Additionally,anti-L-selectin's antibody can inhibit the adhesion between HCa-F cells and frozen section of mouse lymph node.Conclusion L-selectin expressed on HCa-F cells is a functional molecule which can facilitate HCa-F cell's metastasis to lymph nodes.
