The relationship between apoptosis of granulosa cells and follicle development arrest in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) rats, and the contribution of tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) in apoptosis of granulosa cells were explored. By using sodium prasterone sulfate rat PCOS model was induced. The apoptosis of granulosa cells in ovaries of rats was observed by TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL), and the expression of TRAIL protein and mRNA in granulosa cells was detected by using immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) respectively. The apoptotic rate and the expression of protein TRAIL in granulosa cells were significantly higher in antral follicles from the PCOS rats than in those from the control rats (P<0.01, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in apoptotic rate and the expression of TRAIL protein in granulosa cells of preantral follicles between the PCOS rats and the control rats (P>0.05). No apoptosis and the expression of TRAIL protein in granulosa cells of primordial follicles were found in the two groups. The expression of TRAIL mRNA was significantly stronger in granulosa cells from the PCOS rats than in those from the control rats (P<0.01). It was suggested that the apoptotic rate in granulosa cells was significantly higher in antral follicle from the PCOS rats than in those from the control rats. TRAIL played a role in regulating the apoptosis of granulosa cells in PCOS rats.

This study examined the effects of Bangdeyun on the expressions of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the endometrium of mice with embryo implantation dysfunction (EID) during the implantation time (namely on pregnancy day 5, 6, 7 and 8) and explored the local immune regulatory effects of Bangdeyun. The gestational mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group and Bangdeyun-treated group. EID models of mice were established by using indomethacin. The endometrial expression of NF-kappaB was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. IFN-gamma and IL-10 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that in the normal group, NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were weakly expressed and IL-10 was strongly expressed in the endometrium during the whole implantation period. In the model group, the expressions of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were increased on pregnancy day 5, 6 and 7, and IL-10 expression decreased during the whole implantation time when compared with those in the normal group (P<0.01 for all). In the Bangdeyun-treated group, little amount of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma was expressed and IL-10 expression was strong, much the way they were expressed in the normal group (P>0.05). The expressions of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were much lower in the Bangdeyun-treated group than those in the model group on pregnancy day 5, 6 and 7 (P<0.01 for all), while the expression of IL-10 was much higher than in the model group during the whole implantation time (P<0.01). It was suggested Bangderun may favor a shift from Th1- to Th2-type immune response, therefore inhibiting the maternal immune rejection, inducing the immune tolerance and improving the fetal implantation.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and mechanism and feasibility of plasma exchange (PE) in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods A retrospective analysis of SLE associated with AP was done based on the HIS in Tongji Hospital. Totally 24 SLEAP patients were admitted to Tongji hospital from March 2006 to May 2014. Patientsˊ serum amylase, lipase and interleukin (IL)-6 concentration were measured before and after plasma exchange. According to different therapy strategy, patients were divided into two groups. Fifteen patients treated with plasma exchange combination with glucocorticosteroid (GC) were classified as Group A, the other 9 patients who were treated with GC only were classified as group B. At baseline and after treatment, the serum lipid concentration, average daily glucocorticosteroid dosage between group A and B were compared with ANOVA and serum IL-6 concentration between roup A and B were compared with Wilcoxon rank test. Results SLEDAI score in group A patients at baseline (16 ±5) was no statistically different from that in group B (18 ±4) (t=1.31, P=0.320). Average daily GC dosage in group A 31.0 (20.50, 30.08)mg/d was significantly less than that in group B 47.85 (45.58, 59.23) mg/d (Z=35.50, P= 0.002). Serum IL-6 levels in group A and B at baseline was not significantly different 13.14 (11.12,16.57) mg/L vs 14.63 (11.37, 16.37) mg/L (Z=12.20, P=0.300), after 2 weeks treatment, IL-6 level, which was 9.16 (7.93, 10.75) mg/L, decreased significantly in group A while it didnˊt show tendency of decrease in group B, which was 13.62(9.29, 17.63) mg/L (Z=28.50, P=0.039). Serum lipid concentration after 2 weeks therapy in Group A [TC=(5.02 ±0.53) mmol/L, TG=(1.46 ±0.44) mmol/L] decreased significantly compared to baseline [TC=(6.11±0.50) mmol/L, TG=(2.14±0.65) mmol/L] (F=4.46, P=0.010; F=6.09, P=0.002), while similar tendency wasnˊt observed in group B (F=1.57, P>0.05). Conclusion PE combined with GC could lower serum IL-6 levels, reduce the amount of GC and lower serum lipid to improve prognosis. Therefore it might be a safe and effective way and is worthy of continuing to explore its feasibility.

Objective To investigate the effect of COX ̄2 inhibitor celecoxib on radiosensitity of irradiation ̄resistant cell line CNE ̄2R of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the potential mechanism. Methods Via exposing to a series of X ̄ray (2, 4, 6, 8 Gy, 3 times for each dose), radio ̄resistant cell subline CNE ̄2R was established from human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell CNE ̄2.Radiosensitivity was detected by clone formation assay.CNE ̄2R and CNE ̄2 cell lines were exposed to 25, 50, 75 μmol.L-1 celecoxib, respectively.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of COX ̄2.Clone formation assay was performed to measure the survival fraction of CNE ̄2 and CNE ̄2R after radiotherapy alone or radiotherapy combined with 30 μmol.L-1 celecoxib treatment.Flow cytometry was used to measure influence of radiotherapy alone or radiotherapy combined with 30 μmol.L ̄1celecoxib treatment on cell apoptosis.Number of residual γ ̄H2AX foci was observed by immunofluorescence assay. Results The colony forming assay demonstrated that the values of SF2, D0 , Dq , and N of CNE ̄2R cell subline [(0.81±0.05), (2.15±0.07) Gy, (2.94±0.08) Gy, (3.91±0.07), respectively] was significant higher than those of CNE ̄2 cell line [(0.61±0.08), (1.47±0.06) Gy, (1. 68 ± 0. 10) Gy, (3. 13 ± 0. 05), respectively]. The expression of COX ̄2 protein was significantly downregulated with increasing celecoxib concentration.Surviving fraction was decreased in both CNE ̄2 and CNE ̄2R cell lines after irradiation.After radiotherapy combined with celecoxib, apoptosis rates of CNE ̄2 and CNE ̄2R cell lines [(13.10±0.63)%, (5.30±0.75)%] were higher than those of the corresponding control groups [(4.90±0.71)%, (1.82±0.82)%].Celecoxib increased radiosensitivity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE ̄2R and CNE ̄2 cell lines.The number of residual γ ̄H2AX foci after irradiation was increased by celecoxib pretreatment.The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Celecoxib can enhance radiosensitivity of radio ̄resistant cell subline CNE ̄2R of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma in vitro.

OBJECTIVETo determine expression changes of major outer membrane protein(OMP) antigens of Leptospira interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Lai strain Lai during infection of human macrophages and its mechanism.
METHODSOmpR encoding genes and OmpR-related histidine kinase (HK) encoding gene of L.interrogans strain Lai and their functional domains were predicted using bioinformatics technique. mRNA level changes of the leptospiral major OMP-encoding genes before and after infection of human THP-1 macrophages were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. Effects of the OmpR-encoding genes and HK-encoding gene on the expression of leptospiral OMPs during infection were determined by HK-peptide antiserum block assay and closantel inhibitive assays.
RESULTSThe bioinformatics analysis indicated that LB015 and LB333 were referred to OmpR-encoding genes of the spirochete, while LB014 might act as a OmpR-related HK-encoding gene. After the spirochete infecting THP-1 cells, mRNA levels of leptospiral lipL21, lipL32 and lipL41 genes were rapidly and persistently down-regulated (P <0.01), whereas mRNA levels of leptospiral groEL, mce, loa22 and ligB genes were rapidly but transiently up-regulated (P<0.01). The treatment with closantel and HK-peptide antiserum partly reversed the infection-based down-regulated mRNA levels of lipL21 and lipL48 genes (P <0.01). Moreover, closantel caused a decrease of the infection-based up-regulated mRNA levels of groEL, mce, loa22 and ligB genes (P <0.01).
CONCLUSIONExpression levels of L.interrogans strain Lai major OMP antigens present notable changes during infection of human macrophages. There is a group of OmpR-and HK-encoding genes which may play a major role in down-regulation of expression levels of partial OMP antigens during infection.
