Objective To detect the expression and significance of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3) in the placentas of pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). Methods Totally, 44 ICP gravidas, including 21 severe ICP and 23 mild ICP who delvered through cesarean section at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from April 2008 to January 2009, were selected as the ICP group, and another 25 healthy pregnant women were chosen as control. Placentas of the above gravidas were collected and the expression and localization of SOCS3 were determined by immunohistochemical peroxidase streptomyces-avidin link (SP) method (indicated by the percentage ofpositive cells and average gray scale) and the levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)from placenta homogenation were measured by enzyme linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA). Results(1) SOCS3 were expressed in placentas of both groups mainly in the intracytoplasma of trophocyte.However, weakly positive, positive, and strongly positive expressions were found in the severe ICP, mild ICP and the control group, respectively. Almost no expression was detected in membrane and nucleus of the trophoblasts. (2) The percentage of SOCS3 positive cells in the severe ICP group was significantly lower than in the control and the mild ICP group, respectively [ (0.15±0.08)% vs (0.69±0.12)% and (0.42±0.09) % , P < 0.01 ]. The average gay SOCS3 in placental tissue in the severe ICP group was significantly higher than that in control and mild ICP group, respectively (204 ±7 vs 81 ±7 and 147 ± 7, P <0.01 ).(3) Significant lower level of IL-10 in placenta homogenation was found in the severe ICP group than in the control and mild ICP group [ ( 1.16 ± 0.68) μg/L, vs ( 1.39 ± 0.08) μg/L and ( 1.22 ± 0.75 ) μg/L,P < 0.01 ]. (4) The opposite results were found in the level of IFN-γin trophoblasts and the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-10 [ severe ICP group: ( 16.8 ± 0.7 ) μg/L and 16.02 ± 2.79; control group: ( 10.5 ± 0.3 ) μg/L and8.56 ±0.14; mild ICP group: ( 13.4 ±0.5) μg/L and 8.56 ±0.14, P <0.01]. (5) Negative correlation was shown between the percentage of SOCS3 positive cells in trophoblasts and the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-10 ( r =-0.685 and -0.702, P < 0.01 ), and the average gay SOCS3 was positively correlated with the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-10 (r=0.621 and 0.891, P<0.01) in both mild and severe ICP group. Conclousions SOCS3 may participate in the pathogenesis of ICP and its expression may affected by the severity of ICP, and SOCS3may also play a role in the immunological regulation in ICP patients.

Objective To study the correlations between the leptin levels and the prevalence cervical carcinoma. Methods Blood samples were collected from 79 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, 28 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and 35 healthy donors. The serum leptin concentrations were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Meanwhile, tissue samples were obtained from the patients with cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, Then the expressions oleptin in these tissues were detected by Western blot. Results The level of serum leptin in the patients with cervical cancer was significantly higher than those both in the patients with cervical epithelial tumor and in the healthy control group. the Western blot results also confirmed that the the expressions of leptin in the tumor tissues were atwas the highest level. Conclusion The elevated levels of leptin in serum and tumor tissues of patients with cervical cancer suggest that leptin may be involved in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer.

Traditional chemotherapy mostly caused the proliferative cancer cells'deoxyribonucleic acid damaged and suspended copy.It is purposed to kill cancer cells as far as possible.So we adopted chemotherapeutics' human maximum tolerated dose clinically.Recent findings indicate that some chemotherapy drugs such as paclitaxel are applied under way in the low dose and high frequency could inhibit tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the microstructure and ultrastructure changes of cardiac muscle, pallium, lung, liver and kidney tissue and hemodynamic effects after the success of cardiac arrest (CA)-cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) of swine. Method A total of 16 Beijing swine(weight 29 ～ 35 kg)were randomly (random number) divided into normal-control group ( n = 8) and standard CPR group ( n = 8). The swine of the former group were only given anesthetized and intubated, without ventricular fibrillation and CPR. The swine of the latter group were given standard CPR after 4 min of untreated VF, from 10 min after restoration of spontaneous cirkg) and keep for 6 h. And cardiac output (CO), left ventricular maximal rate of systolic pressure ( + dp/dtmax),maximum reduction of left ventricular diastolic velocity ( - dp/dtmax), heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of these animals before ventricular fibrillation and 0.5 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h after ROSC have been monitored.All swine were put to death after 6 h,and got their cardiac apex, pallium, left lung, right lobe of liver and upper pole of left kidney quickly for microstructure and ultrastructure studies. Statistical analysis was performed using two paired samples t test. Results At different time points after restoration of spontaneous circulation, the cardiac output (CO),left ventricular maximal rate of systolic pressure ( + dp/dtmax), maximum reduction of left ventricular diastolic velocity (- dp/dtmax) were significantly lower than before ventricular fibrillation, with significant difference ( P ＜ 0.05). And HR of different time points were increased significantly ( P ＜ 0.05), with no significantly difference between MAP of each time points ( P ＞ 0.05). Compared with the normal-control group, the cardiac muscle, pallium, lung, liver and kidney tissue of the swine in standard CPR group were found different degree of damages in their microstructure and ultrastructure sections. The damages of the cardiac muscle, pallium, and lung tissue were more obviously. Conclusions Sudden cardiac arrest(CA)-cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) could cause different degree of damages and hemodynamic effects on the body, through our ROSC 6 h model, the damages of the cardiac muscle, pallium and lung were more severity, the damages of liver and kidney were lighter.

Objective To observe the effects of two rehabilitation programs to staff in office with cervical spondylosis,and to explore the appropriate rehabilitation program for this group of people.Methods There were 37 office personnel with cervical spondylosis were selected by the inclusion criteria.They were randomly divided into treatment group A(once a week,n=17) and treatment group B (once a week,n=20) according to the random number table method.The treatment group A took middle frequency electrotherapy and infrared therapy,while the treatment group B took tuina manipulation.The changes of visual analogue scale (VAS) and cervical range of movement (ROM) were observed after 10 weeks of treatment.Results Compared with before treatment,the VAS scores of the two treatment groups decreased with statistically significant difference after 10 weeks of treatment(tA=12.91,tB=13.88,all P<0.05).There was no significant difference in VAS score between the two treatment groups after treatment(t=0.22,P>0.05).Compared with before treatment,the cervical ROM of the two groups increased significantly after treatment(tA anteflexion=-4.59,tA posterior extension=-5.13,tA left flexion=-4.24,tA right flexion=-3.25,tA left circumflexion=-7.13,tA right circumflexion=-7.47,tB anteflexion=-5.85,tB posterior extension=-7.28,tB left flexion=-8.64,tB right flexion=-8.38,tB left circumflexion=-11.72,tB right circumflexion=-11.95,all P<0.05).There were significant differences in the increase range of flexion,left flexion and left circumflexion between the two treatment groups after treatment(tflexion=-2.29,tleft flexion=-2.77,tleft circumflexion=-2.32,all P<0.05),but posterior extension,right flexion and right circumflexion had no statistically significant diffferences(tposterior extension=-1.97,tright flexion=-1.97,tright circumflexion=-1.97,all P>0.05).Conclusion The two kinds of rehabilitation programs can relieve the neck pain of the office personnel,but treatment group B is better than treatment group A in increasing cervical ROM.

Objective To study the effect of angiotensinⅡon the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(hUVEC) , and the effect of peroxisome proliferator- activated receptors (PPARs)?and?on MCP-1. Methods MCP-1 protein level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, and the mRNA expression level of MCP-1 was determined by RT-PCR. Results AngiotensinⅡdistinctly increased the expression of MCP-1 in a dose-dependent manner in cultured hUVECs, and valsartan inhibited the expression of MCP-1 remarkably. Both rosiglitazone (PPAR7 agonist) and fenofibrate (PPAR?agonist) concentration- dependently reduced the expression of MCP-1 in induced by AngⅡ10-6 mol/L. Conclusions AngiotensinⅡcan increase the expression of MCP-1 evidently in hUVECs, which is inhibited by valsartan. The activation of PPARa and PPAR?can decrease the expression of MCP-1 in hUVECs.
