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 establish an HPLC-FD method for determining the content of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP1) to lay foundation for its pharmacokinetic study in rats. Methods: Purified ASP1 was labeled with FITC by the method of Belder and Granath to obtain ASP1-FITC. The tissue samples were treated with 30% trichloroacetic acid and 11% NaOH before injection. The samples were determined by HPLC-FD. A PL aquagel-OH MIXED column was used,and the mobile phase was phosphate buffer( dis-solve NaH2PO32. 34g , Na2HPO34. 33 g and NaCl 11. 70 g into 1000 ml water) with pH of 7. 0. The flow rate was 0. 5 ml·min-1. The excitation and emission wavelengths was set at 495 nm and 520 nm, respectively. Results:The linear calibration curve was within the concentration range of 0. 25-40. 00 μg·ml-1(r=0. 9996)with the lower limit of quantification of 0. 20μg·ml-1 in tissue sam-ples. The extraction recovery of ASP1 was determined at low, medium and high concentration with the recovery of 91. 98%-114. 20%. The intra and inter-day RSDs were lower than 8. 31% and 2. 94%, respectively. Conclusion:The method to determine the content of ASP1 in rats by HPLC-FD with pre-column derivatization has been esablished. It is simple, accurate and reliable, which can be suc-cessfully applied in the study of pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of ASP1 in rats.

Objective To probe the effect of transareolar or mastoscopy assisted breast-conserving surgery combined with open axillary lymph node dissection in the treatment of breast cancer. Methods Nineteen patients, with breast cancer of a diameter cm from the nipple, were treated by transareolar or mastoscopy assisted breast-conserving surgery from August 2001 to November 2003.After the lipolysis and suction of axillary fat,open axillary lymph node dissection was performed. Results Intraoperative frozen pathological examination had showed positive margin in 1 case, in which an enlarged excision was required to obtain a negative result. Postoperative subcutaneous edema underlying the operated site occurred in 2 cases and was cured by needle aspiration and pressure dressing. Excellent cosmetic outcomes were obtained with symmetrical breast development and all the patients were satisfied with the treatment. Postoperative follow-up for 2～19 months (mean, 10.6 months) found no recurrence in the breast or the axillary fossa. Conclusions Breast-conserving surgery can be expediently carried out by means of transareolar incision or with the help of mastoscopy. The combination with open axillary lymph node dissection may give favorable effect.

Understanding the basic mechanism of reading is the foundation for studying the pathogenesis of alexia and its rehabilitation care. Functional magnetic resonance imaging is one of imaging methods that can display the neurological activities in brain in vivo. It has been used in the studies of linguistics in recent years, particularly in the mechanisms of reading and processing. The article reviews the lateralization of Chinese single word processing and whether or not the specific brain region for cognitive processing of Chinese characters exists.

Objective To explore the association of activated blood platelet and large vacular disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods A total of 98 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were divided into two groups(50 cases with large vascular disease and 48 cases,as DM group)and 50 cases healthy subjects served as a control group.From 2002-05 to 2004-11,the doctors of the Department of Endocrinology,Subei Hospital to determined the expression of platelet activation PAC-1、CD62P in large vascular disease by technique of flow cytometry(FCM),and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA_1c)、C-reactive protein(CRP)、fasting plasama glucose(FBG)、C-peptide(C-P)and blood lipids were measured and analysed for the correlation.Results Activated blood platelet was significantly increased in DM group as compared with that in control group(P

Objective To study the integration and differentiation of spinal neural stem cells after transplantation into mice retina. Methods Primary cultured neural stem cells were transplanted into mice retinas,then the integration ratio and the differentiation pattern of the donor cells were estimated with immunohistochemistry method. Results 1.The integration ratio decreased with the age of the host mice.2.The grafts differentiate into both glia and neuronal cells after transplantation.Conclusion The integration and differentiation of the primary cultured spinal NSC were modulated by both endogenous and exdogenous factors,which provided new proofs for the study of the in vivo differentiation of the NSC.

AIM: To investigate the expression pattern of apolipoprotein M (apoM) protein in renal cortex of a-cute renal failure ( ARF) rats with reperfusion. METHODS: Seventy - five male rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (re =25) , ARF group (n =25) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamat (PDTC) group (n =25) , five subgroups at time points of 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after reperfusion were set up in each group. The expressions of apoM in cytoplasm and NF - κB p65 in nucleus of renal cortex were detected at the indicated time points. RESULTS: The expression of apoM in ARF group was obviously higher than that in sham operation group ( P <0.01 ) , and two peaks were detected, the first peak was at 6 h after reperfusion, while the second one was from 24 h to 48 h. The tendency of apoM expression in PDTC group was similar to that in ARF group, while the expression in every subgroup was prevalently lower than that in ARF group (P < 0.01). Otherwise, a significant correlation ( r = 0.852, P < 0.01) was found between the expression of apoM and NF -κB p65.CONCLUSION: The results indicate that apoM feasibly take part in the pathogenesis of ARF through the inflammatory reaction mediated by NF - κB.

BACKGROUND: Many animal and clinical studies have reported that the safe and effective usage of umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs) transplantation for treatment of neurological genetic diseases.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and effect of UCB-MSCs transplantation in the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).METHODS: A child admitted at January 2010 had been confirmed as having SMA, and drug and rehabilitation therapies were invalid. Then, the child received UCB-MSCs transplantation via the first intravenous infusion and three times of subarachnoid injection, once a week, (4-6)×107 cells once and four times as a course. Neurological physical examination, biochemical test, muscle enzymes detection, FIM scoring and electromyography (EMG) examination were conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with prior to transplantation, the level of muscle enzymes decreased, FIM scores were increased from 68 to 93 points, EMG results showed that the motor units with re-contraction in each 10.0 ms were increased that the motor function was improved, the lower extremity muscle strength elevated, and the self-care ability was improved in the SMA child at 6 months after transplantation. During the 10-month follow-up, the child had no adverse effects. It is indicated that UCB-MSCs transplantation is effective to treat SMA, and the neurological function has a remarkable restoration.
