Objective:To explore the effects of myofibroblast in the pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis(OSF).Methods:The expressions of ?-SMA in the tissues of OSF and normal control were detected by immunohistochemistry. Fibroblasts were isolated from oral mucosa of OSF patients and healthy controls and were cultured under stimulation by arecoline.The expressions of ?-SMA in OSF fibroblasts and normal fibroblast were detected by immunocellchemistry and RT-PCR.Results:(1)No positive expression was found in normal tissues except in the blood vessel,but in OSF tissue,?-SMA positive expression was found in many spindle cells in the oral submucousal layer.(2)Few fibroblasts in vitro from normal controls were ?-SMA positive.(3)Most of the second passage of OSF fibroblasts were ?-SMA positive(85.80%?3.56%). (4)The expression of ?-SMA in fibroblasts could not be increased by the stimulation of arecoline.Conclusion:Myofibroblasts may play an important role in the pathogenesis of OSF,and the appearrence of myofibroblasts in OSF may not be directly induced by the stimulation of arecoline.

Objective:In order to elucidate the derivation and differentiation mechanisms for derivation of myofibroblasts in oral submucous fibrosis.Methods:Oral keratinocytes and fibroblasts were isolated and cultured,and a co-cultur system composed of the keratinocytes and fibroblasts was established in vitro.Expressions of ?-SMA protein and mRNA in fibroblasts were detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. The level of TGF-?1 in conditioned medium were evaluated by ELISA.Results:The expressions of ?-SMA mRNA and protein in fibroblasts co-cultured with keratinocytes preprocessed by arecoline was higher than that in fibroblasts co-cultured with keratinocytes and without preprocessed by arecoline. The level of TGF-?1 in conditioned medium of fibroblasts-keratinocytes preprocessed by arecoline co-cultures was higher than those of fibroblasts cultured alone.Conclusion:The derivation of myofibroblast from FB can be promoted by keratinocytes preprocessed by arecoline and TGF-?1 may play a role in the process.

Objective To observe effect of corticosteroid and long-acting ?2-agonist seretide to treat patients with moderate asthma who were uncontrolled on existing corticosteroid therapy.Methods From Oct.2005 to Feb.2007,85 asthmatic patients were randomly divided into two groups,treatment group were treated with seretide twice daily and the control group were treated with pulmicort(budesonide)twice daily.The clinical effect index and peak expiratory flow(PEF)were analyzed statistically.Results There were 61 cases in seretide group and 24 cases in pulmicort group who were follow-up examined and evaluated effectively the clinical effect.The treatment period was 1 year,the efficacy were 100% and 75% respectively,there was significant difference between two groups(P

Objective To investigate the relationship between vascular injury of diabetic rats with hind limb ischemia and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) uncoupling.Methods 15 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group (n =5),diabetes group (n =5) and diabetes ischemia group (n =5).Two weeks after the diabetic rat model and hind limb ischemia of diabetic rat model were set up,Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect nitric oxide(NO) expression in the rat femoral artery; Dihydroethidium(DHE) fluorescent probe was used to detect superoxide(O2-) production in the frozen section of femoral artery; and Western blot was used to examine GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GTPCH-1)expression in femoral artery.Results ①Compared with the control group,NO expression of femoral artery in diabetes group was significantly reduced,diabetes ischemia group decreased more significantly,and the difference between the 3 groups had statistical significance(P =0.000,P =0.000,P =0.001).②Frozen section showed:compared with the control group,O2-expression of diabetes group significantly increased,but not as much as diabetes hind limb ischemia group.③Western blot results showed that compared with the control group,the expression of GTPCH-1 in diabetes group reduced,diabetes hind limb ischemia group decreased more significantly,and the difference between the 3 groups had statistical significance (P =0.001,P =0.000,P =0.012).Conclusion eNOS uncoupling is present in diabetic rats with hind limb ischemia and vascular injury.

Objective To evaluate osteoporosis and the bone turnover markers in patients with Graves′ disease(GD) and the association of bone turnover markers including serum osteocalcin ( OCN ),I procollagen Nterminal propeptide( PINP),serum alkaline phosphatase ( ALP),and β- I collagen carboxyl-terminal peptide ( β-CTX)with thyroid hormone levels.Methods A total of 163 patients with Graves′ disease were enrolled.Serum thyroid hormone,OCN,PINP,and β-CTX levels were measured by the method of ethchemiluminescence.Serum ALP,calcium,phosphorus,and urinary calcium/creatinine ratio were measured by automatic biochemical system.Bone mineral density ( BMD ) of lumbar spines 1-4 ( L 1-4 ) and the proximal left femur was detected by dual energy xray absorptiometry.Results GD cases enrolled were composed of 43 men (26.4％ )and 120 women ( 73.6％ ),with an average age of ( 47 ± 1 ) years.There were 126 cases ( 77.3％ ) with normal BMD,and 37 cases ( 22.7％ ) with osteoporosis.OCN,ALP,PINP,β-CTX,and free T3 levels were significantly higher in the group of osteoporosis than those in the group with normal BMD( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ) after adjusting for sex,age,and BMI.The levels of OCN,P1NP,and β-CTX were positively correlated with serum FT3 level ( all P＜0.01 ) and were also progressively increased according to the quartile groups of FT3 levels ( P＜0.01 ) after sex,age,and BMI were adjusted.Conclusion Patients with Graves′ disease had a high incidence of osteoporosis with characristic high rate of bone turnover,which is related to the raised thyroid hormone levels.

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 evaluate the perinatal outcome of three types of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR).Methods From January 2010 to June 2013 clinical data of 37 pairs of MCDA twins (74 fetuses)with sIUGR and 40 pairs of normal MCDA twins (80 fetuses) in the same period were analyzed retrospectively.Fetuses with sIUGR were classified into three groups based on umbilical artery Doppler flow.There were 20 cases of type Ⅰ,11 cases of type Ⅱ and 6 cases of type Ⅲ.The perinatal outcome was compared between sIUGR and normal MCDA twins,and among the three types of sIUGR as well.Perinatal outcomes included gestational age at delivery,rate of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD),birth weight,twins discordance of birth weight,neonatal death and survival rate at 6 months.Results The gestational age of sIUGR group at delivery was significantly earlier than that of control group [(33.1 ± 3.0),(36.9 ± 3.2) weeks,respectively],and the rate of IUFD of both fetuses of sIUGR group was significantly higher [5.4％ (4/74),0,respectively],there was significant difference(P ＜ 0.05).In sIUGR group,the average birth weight of large or small twins [(2 030.8 ± 353.4),(1 529.0 ± 432.9) g] was smaller than those in control group [(2 471.5 ± 500.9),(2 346.0 ± 460.3) g],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The twins discordance of birth weight in sIUGR group was significantly larger [(27.2 ± 2.6)％] than that in control group [(8.0 ± 1.6)％] (P ＜0.05).The gestational age at delivery in type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ [(33.1 ± 5.0),(34.3 ± 2.8) weeks] was significantly earlier than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of IUFD of both fetuses in type Ⅱ (18.2％,4/22) was significantly higher than that in type Ⅰ (0) and control group (0) (P ＜ 0.05).In sIUGR group,the average birth weight of small twins in type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ was (1 646.0 ± 433.5),(1 332.8 ± 310.5),(1 504.5 ± 382.2) g respectively,all of which was significantly smaller than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The average birth weight of small twins in type Ⅱ was smaller than type Ⅰ and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).In sIUGR group,the twins discordance of birth weight in type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ was (26.3 ±5.1)％,(31.0 ±1.6)％,(31.4 ±3.3)％ respectively,all of which was significantly larger than that in control group (P ＜0.05).There were no significant difference of the twins discordance of birth weight among the three types of sIUGR (P ＞ 0.05).Survival rate at 6 months in type Ⅱ (63.6％,14/22) was significantly lower than type Ⅰ (95.0％,38/40) and control group (92.5 ％,74/80) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The perinatal outcome of MCDA twins with sIUGR is poor.The outcome is different among the three types of sIUGR,and type Ⅱ is the worst.Type Ⅱ is associated with a high risk of intrauterine fetal demise.It is important to monitor the intrauterine situation closely.
