Objective To investigate the role of subtype 1 autoantibody against angiotensin Ⅱ receptor in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia by detecting its expression in the peripheral blood of preeclampsia patients,Methods Thirty patients with preeclampsia were assigned to preeclampsia group. Twenty normal pregnant women at the late stage and twenty non-pregnant healthy women as controls were investigated. The level of type 1 antoantibody against angiotensin Ⅱ in the peripheral blood was detected by indirect SA-ELISA assay with the produced ATR-1 as the antigen. Results The level of subtype 1 antoantibody against angiotensin Ⅱ (65 ±4. 7) % in the peripheral blood of preeclampsia patients is significantly higher than that of normal late pregnant (26 ±2. 8)% and non-pregnant women(7.8 ±2. 2)% groups (t1 =24. 97 ;t2 =38.56;P <0. 01 for both) ;The angiotensin Ⅱ receptor subtype 1 autoantibody in the group of normal late pregnancy (26 ± 2. 8 )% was significantly higher than that of healthy non-pregnant women group ( 7. 8 ± 2. 2 ) % ( t = 4. 58, P < 0. 05 ).Conclusion Compared with the normal pregnant women and the healthy non-pregant women, the autoantibody against AT1 receptor in sera of preeclamptic patients is elevated ata high frequency. These results suggest that overproduction of AT1-AA may play an important role during the development of preeclamptic patients. AT1-AA is a novel risk factor in pregnant women. Immune mechanisms may be involved in the process of pregnancy.

Objective To verify that natural zeolites can be used in treatment of fluoride in groundwater in the east-southern of Shanxi Province. Methods Determination of the fluoride by lime-paper sampling and fluorine ion-selective electrode analysis(reference to GB/T 7484-1987). In the paper the best activation process and the appropriate application were discussed, and then the activated zeolite should be used in experimental and real application, in which the effect of zeolite on water quality were assured. The used zeolite could be regenerated and reused. Results The best activation process before use was orderly treated by 5.0 mol/L HCl for 5 hours, then 0.3 mol/L KAl(SO4)2 10 hours,and finally 300 ℃ in furnace for 4 hours. 5 g activated zeolite in 100 ml water(solid∶liquid =1∶20). The static analysis insisted that activated zeolite had a significant adsorption for fluorine. The dynamic analysis verified that the fluoride level could reach the standard after 40 min of treatment. Regenerated with 2.0% KAl(SO4)2,the effect of removing fluoride was 45.0%. Conclusion The experiments testified that the processed natural zeolite can used in water treatment of high fluoride groundwater.

Age-related macular in human retinal results in strict loss and enduring decrease in visual acuity. A lot of medical evidence has shown that macular degeneration, associated with Choroidal neovascularization (CNV), leads to irreversible injure in composition and function of retinal tissue. A new analytical and restorative treatment, scotoma-based photocoagulation (SPB), curdles the affected areas so effectively and timely that it can delay or prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) image is involved and the function and character of scotometry are analyzed. Combining anatomical and pathological features, this paper introduces process of acquiring the image and algorithms of analyzing it. Furthermore, integrate image of retinal is extracted from SLO through feature extraction, special registration and superimposition. The treatment can be applied to clinical diagnosis without great revisions and provide direction for pertinent fields.

Objective To detect the expression and effect of human tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (hTRAIL) in vivo,by using a novel double expressing adenoviral vector encoding hTRAIL and firefly luciferase ( luc ) gene ( ad -luc-hTRAIL),in which luc was used as reporter gene.Methods Lung cancer A549 cell xenografts in 16 nude mice models were established in subcutaneous inoculation way,the adenovirus vectors ( ad-luc-hTRAIL,ad-hTRAIL,ad-luc) and phosphate buffer saline (PBS) (n =4) as control were injected into tumor respectively.The size of the tumor was measured at different time points (4,7,10,14,21,28 d)after injection.The activity of luciferase in surface of the tumor was detected in vivo by using high-sensitivity cooled-charged coupled device(CCD) camera.The expression of hTRAIL was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry staining after sacrificing the animals at different time points,and immunohistochemical scores (IHS) were measured. The apoptosis rate of tumor cells was detected by using TUNEL and calculated. Analysis of variance,the paired t test and linear correlation analysis was used for the statistics. Results The growing speed of tumour xenografts was more slowly in ad-luc-hTRAIL and ad-hTRAIL groups than PBS group (t =2.71,2.72,P < 0.05 ).The tumor volumes of ad-luc-hTRAIL,ad-hTRAIL,ad-luc and PBS groups 28 days after injection were (208.4 ± 42.3 ),( 181.5 ±23.9),( 403.1 ± 54.0 ) and ( 427.0 ± 59.3 ) mm3, respectively. There was no significant difference between ad-luc group and PBS group(t =2.07,P > 0.05).The expression of luciferase in ad-luc-hTRAILgroup reached its peak at 7th day ( 1.37 ± 1.04),and then decreased quickly.The IHS and apoptosis rate in ad-luc-hTRAIL and ad-hTRAIL groups reached their peaks at 7th day,the peak values of IHS were 6.25 ±2.06 and 6.5 ± 2.89,the peak values of apoptosis rate were (60.75 ± 8.06 ) % and ( 61.50 ± 8.47 ) %,respectively.The amount of luciferase expression ( absolute number of photons detected by CCD camera)was linear positive correlated with IHS and apoptosis rate ( rphotons/IHs =0.942,rph /rate =0.842,rIHs/rate =0.887,P < 0.05 ).Conclusion The target gene hTRAIL can be transfected into lung cancer A549 cell xenografts nude mice models efficiently with a high level expression,and the therapeutic effect of hTRAIL can be monitored by detecting the expression of luc.

Objective To analyze the effects of miR-26a on proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion of uveal melanoma cell.Methods The expressions level of miR-26a in the uveal melanoma cell lines SP6.5 and M23 and normal cell line ARPE-19 was detected by qRT-PCR.The SP6.5 cell line was divided into miR-26a mimics group (transfect with miR-26a mimics) and NC group (transfect with scramble by Lipofectamine 2000).The proliferation and apoptosis ability were measured by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry.The cell wound scratch assay and transwell assay were used to detect the migration and invasion ability.The expression level of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) protein was measured by Western blot.Results The expressions level of miR-26a in uveal melanoma cell line SP6.5 was 0.250 ± 0.029,M23 was 0.350 ±0.017,which was significantly lower than 1.0 in normal cell line ARPE-19 (all P <0.001).The OD450 value at 72 hours,96 hours and 120 hours in miR-26a mimics group (0.69 ±--0.09,1.23 ± 0.15,2.12 ± 0.23) were significantly lower than those in NC group (1.39-0.11,2.35 ±0.25,3.53 ±0.27) (all P <0.05).The apoptosis rate of miR-26a mimics group (15.60% ± 2.30%) was significantly higher than that of NC group (5.00% ± 0.70%) (P < 0.01).The wound healing rate of miR-26a mimics group (23.7% ±2.1%) was significantly lower than that of NC group (68.9 ±5.1%) (P <0.01).While the invasive cell number (45.1 ± 3.9) was also significantly less than NC group (115.3 ± 8.9) (P < 0.01).The expression level of EZH2 protein in miR-26a mimics group (0.39 ±0.09) was significantly lower than that of NC group (1.0,P <0.01).Conclusion MiR-26a is low expressed in uveal melanoma cells.Over expression of miR-26a inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of uveal melanoma cell,and promote the apoptosis,which may be associated with down-regulated expression of EZH2.
