Leptin and its functional receptors play a crucial role in hepatic fibrogenesis.However,the precise mechanisms underlying the profibrogenic action of leptin in the liver has not been well elucidated.There are two different mechanisms at present.Immunity system and some cytokines may act on it.The reseach on the mechanism of leptin offer a new way for the clinical treatment of hepatic fibrosis.

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.

Objective: To observe the eff ect and mechanism of chronic high-fat diet on predation behavior in rats. Methods: Ten female SD rats with 4-week-old were randomly divided into a normal control group (NC group,n=5) and a chronic high-fat diet group (HF group,n=5). The rats in the NC group received the regular diet while rats in the HF group were fed with high-fat diet. Fitf een weeks later, the predation behavior of rats was evaluated by open if eld test and food foraging tests. At the end of experiments, the rats were killed and brain tissues were collected for evaluation of c-Fos protein expression in anterior cingulate cortex by immunohistochemical assay. Results: hT e predation behavior of rats in the HF group was signiif cantly impaired in the competitive or non-competitive food foraging test compared with the control rats (P<0.001). hT e c-fos protein expression in anterior cingulate cortex of rats from the HF group was signiif cantly decreased (P<0.001). Conclusion: Long time high-fat diet can aff ect the predation behavior of rats, which is related todysfunction of neuron in anterior cingulate cortex.

Object To explore the antitumor mechanism of Stellera chamaejasme Linn. (SC). Methods SC containing-serum (SCCS) was derived from mice pretreated with different doses of SC. Cultured human leukemia HL-60 and human gastric adenocarcinoma SGC-7901 cells were used. Inhibition of proliferation was measured using MTT assay. Morphological assessment of apoptosis was performed with fluorescence microscope. DNA fragmentation was assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry. Expression of bcl-2 protein was measured with immunohistochemistry. Results Exposure of exponentially growing HL-60 cells to mice serum containing 10% SC (pretreated with SC 3, 6, and 12 g/kg) for 48 h resulted in growth inhibition in a dose-dependent manner. Typical morphological changes of apoptosis and DNA fragmentation in HL-60 cells were induced. "Apobodies" in the apoptotic cells were observed, "ladder" pattern of agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA from these cells was revealed, and the percentage of apoptotic cells with fractional DNA content increased from 11.7% to 57.4%. Treatment with SC containing serum decreased the percentage of SGC-7901 cells of bcl-2 protein positive expression from 78.3% to 32.9%. Conclusion SC could induce apoptosis of HL-60 cells and decrease the expression of bcl-2 protein of gastric adenocarcinoma SGC-7901 cells.

Objective To investigate the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection status quo among childbearing age women to provide the theoretical basis for adopting the effective intervention ,treatment and blocking measures in pre-pregnant women .Methods The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the time-resolved fluorometric immunoassay were adopted to detect HbsAg in 68 682 children bearing age women ,including outpatient and hospitalized patients ,in this hospital from February 2012 to September 2013 .The detect results were analyzed according to the age ,place of residence and medical departments .Results Among 68 682 children bearing age women ,3 260 cases were found positive for HbsAg with the HBsAg positive rate of 4 .70% .The statistically significant differences in the HBV infection positive rate existed among different age groups ,the positive rates in the age groups of 16- <20 years ,20 - < 25 years ,25 - < 30 years ,30 - < 35 years ,35 - < 40 years ,40 - < 45 years and 45 - < 50 years were 3 .83% ,4 .89% ,4 .96% ,4 .91% ,4 .18% ,4 .40% and 4 .18% respectively ,the differences among them had statistical significance (χ2 =15 .76 ,P=0 .015) ,in which the age 25- <30 years group had the highest HBV infection rate .At the same time the signifi-cant differences in the geographical distribution and medical departments existed .The HBV infection positive rate in rural area was significantly higher than that in city with statistical difference (χ2 =27 .47 ,P<0 .05) ,and the HBV infection positive rate in the outpatient departments was higher than that in the inpatient departments with statistical difference (χ2 =46 .88 ,P<0 .05) .Conclu-sion Children bearing women at 20-34 years old show the highest HBV infection rate .The HBV screening and the works of pre-vention and treatment during this age period should be strengthened ,which conduces to discover the HBV infection positive patients in time and prevent the mother-to-fetus transmission .

OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of prophylactic application of 3 different antibiotics on prognosis in patients underwent breast lesion resection. METHODS:1 066 patients with breast lasion resection from 12 hospitals of Shaanxi province were divided into trial group(360 cases),control group A(352 cases)and control group B(354 cases)according to random num-ber table. Trial group was given first generation cephalosporin cefazolin;control group A was given second generation cephalospo-rin cefuroxime;control group B was given third generation cephalosporin cefoperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium. The dosage regimens of 3 groups were as follows:relevant drug 2 g added into 0.9%Sodium chloride injection 100 ml,ivgtt,0.5 h before sur-gery,medication course≤24 h after surgery in trial group. Those indexes of 3 groups were observed,such as post-operative ADR, incision healing,infection,hospitalization duration,phamaceutical costs per capita. RESULTS:There was no statistical signifi-cance in the rate of incision healing and the rate of post-operative infection among 3 groups(P>0.05). The incidence of post-opera-tive ADR,hospitalization duration and phamaceutical costs per capita in observation group were significantly lower or shorter than in control group A and B,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cefazolin is better than cefuroxime and cefo-perazone sodium and tazobactam sodium to reduce the postoperative adverse reaction,antibiotics cost per capita and hospital drug cost per capita,shorten the hospitalization duration.

The activity of the NK cells in patients with preeclampsia was studied to investigate the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. By using MTT and 51Cr releasing technique, the proliferation and killing ability of the NK cells in maternal and umbilical blood from preeclampsia patients (n = 18) and normal third trimester pregnant women (n = 18) were detected. The NK-92 cell line was as the positive control. The results showed that the NK cell counts of umbilical blood in preeclampsia patients and normal third trimester pregnant women were significantly greater than those of maternal blood (both P<0.05). Compared with that in normal third trimester pregnant women, the proliferative ability of the NK cells in preeclampsia patients was apparently increased (P<0.05). Compared with that in maternal blood, the proliferative ability of the NK cells in umbilical blood from both preeclampsia patients and normal third trimester pregnant women was dramatically increased. The killing ability of the NK cells in preeclampsia patients was significantly higher than that in normal third trimester pregnant women (P <0.05). It was suggested that both number and function of the NK cells in preeclampsia women were increased, and that in umbilical blood was greater than that in maternal blood, speculating that the function of the NK cells may affect the maintenance of the maternal and fetal immune tolerance during pregnancy.
