Objective: To investigate the association between the polymorphism of HLA-A, HLA-B genes and pre-eclampsia. Methods: HLA-A, HLA-B genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP) in 119 preeclampsia patients, 117 normal pregnant women and their neonates. Results: The study showed that 16 HLA-A and 39 HLA-B alleles were obtained in pre-eclamptic patients and normal pregnant women. 15 HLA-A and 37 HLA-B alleles were obtained in their neonates. No significant difference was found in maternal or neonatal HLA-A, HLA-B alleles be-tween pre-eclampsia group and control group (Pc>0. 05). The frequencies of HLA-A11, HLA-A24,HLA-B13, HLA-B14, HLA-B15, HLA-B52 maternal/fetus genetic assoications were significantly different between pre-eclampsia group and control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Some HLA-A, HLA-B maternal/fetus special bindings may be associated with the susceptibility or protective of pre-eclampsia.

BACKGROUND: Special anatomical location makes eye lens expose to stressful situation in a long term, so it needs persistent protection to resist stress. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) exert self-protective defensive effect under the stress.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes in mRNA expression of HSPs in the lens under the condition of exogenous stress.DESIGN: Repeated measurement, controlled observation trial.SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, First Hospital Affiliated to Jiamusi University.PARTICIPANTS: Human lens endothelial cells B3 (LEC-B3) were obtained from the Department of Ophthalmology, First Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) kit was purchased from Bao Biotechnology Company, Japan.METHODS: This experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Congenital Malformation, Ministry of Public Health,China Medical University between September 2003 and September 2004. LEC-B3 of the exponential growth was used for the experiment. Thermal or oxidative stress on LEC-B3 cells were produced by 30-minute exposure at 45 ℃ or incubated for 30 minutes in DMEM supplemented with 50 mmol/L H2O2. Some stressful cells were allowed to recuperate after exposure to stress in normal culture medium at 37 ℃ for 0, 2, 4, 6, 16 and 24 hours, separately. The expressions of HSP27 and HSP70 in the LEC-B3 were detected by RT-PCR.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expressions of HSP27 and HSP70 in LEC-B3.RESULTS: HSPs existed in both physiological and stressful situation. The levels of HSPmRNA were increased 2 hours after both stresses. But the expressions of HSP27 and HSP70 got to the summit at different intervals from 2 hours to 6 hours in each group. Subsequently, they were decreased gradually in each group, but they all could maintain a high level at 16 hours.CONCLUSION: Stressful environment induces the over-expressions of HSP27 mRNA and HSP70 mRNA in LEC-B3. This may play an important protective role in lens epithelial cells in responding to cellular stress.

Objective To evaluate the methods of measuring platelet-associated antibody PAIgG/ PAIgA/ PAIgM by flow cytometry(FCM) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and to investigate their diagnostic value for patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods With FCM and ELISA respectively, PAIg on the platelet membrane and in plasma were measured in 19 patients with ITP and 17 healthy volunteers, and were compared with each other in order to find out whether there were differences in these groups.Results FCM and ELISA measurement in patients with ITP were significantly higher than those in control group (P0.05). Compared with the results of ELISA, the positive percentage of PAIgG measured by FCM(84%) in ITP patients was slightly higher than that by ELISA(79%).Conclusion The platelet-associated antibodies of PAIgG/ PAIgA/ PAIgM, especially PAIgG,are important for diagnosing ITP. FCM, in combination with ELISA, may improve the reliability and the positive percentage of detection in ITP patients.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes of tracheal stem cells during tracheal regeneration after injury induced by fluorouracil(5-FU) in rats. Methods Extracorporeal tracheal injury(Wistar rats) was induced by 5-FU.ABCG2 expression in tracheal epithelium during the process of regeneration was analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Results 1.After treatment with 5-FU for 12 hours,the tracheal epithelium shed and there were ABCG2 positive cells among residual cells in G-0.Three hours after the removal of 5-FU,the tracheal rings were covered with flattened epithelial cells. ABCG2 positive cells increased slightly.Six-nine hours after the removal of 5FU,the epithelial cells changed into cuboidal,correspondingly,the ABCG2 positive cells increased obviously;At 24 hours after the removal of 5-FU,most of the epithelial cells were cuboidal and merged into pieces,but the ABCG2 positive cells decreased obviously;Until 48 hours after the removal of 5-FU,only a few positive cells could be seen with the pseudostratified mucociliary epithelium restored similar to its original mode.There were no detectable ABCG2 positive cells in normal tracheal epithelium.2.Western blotting analysis showed that there were different ABCG2 levels at different times after the removal of 5-FU which in accordance with the change of immunofluorescene.ABCG2 was minimally detected after treatment with 5-FU for 12 hours,reaching a maximal level at 6 hours after the removal of 5-FU,and then decreased over time.Until 48 hours after the removal of 5-FU,very low ABCG2 level was detected.Conclusion The expression of ABCG2 is correlated to the number of tracheal stem cells,suggesting that ABCG2 may serve as a marker for isolating stem cells from tracheal epithelium.

BACKGROUND: Special anatomical location makes eye lens expose to stressful situation in a long term. Whether the environmental stress can up-regulate the expression of heat shock proteins in human lens epithelial cells? Whether the synthesis increase occurs in the level of trenscdption or translation, remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression and location of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) in human lens epithelial cells under the conditions of high temperature and oxidative stress, and to investigate the pathogenesis of the cataract.METHODS: Human lens epithelial cells cultured in vitro were exposed to heat (45 ℃) and oxidative stress (50 mmol/L H_2O_2) for 30 minutes, respectively, then allowed to recover normal conditions. At different intervals (0, 2, 4, 6, 16, 24 hours),immunocytochemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were used to determine the expression and localization of HSP27.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: HSP27 was shown to express in both physiological and stressful conditions. The expressions of HSP27 mRNA and protein ware remarkably increased at 2 hours following heat and oxidative stress, and reached the peak at 6 hours. HSP27 could maintain a high level for 16 hours. The stress-induced HSP27 protein positive particles transferred from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, and gradually shift back to the cytoplasm along time. It is proved that HSP27 exists in lens epithelial cells and can be increased after stress. The data suggested it may play an important protective role in lens epithelial cells in respond to cellular stress.
