Objective To observe the effects of blood pressure by intravenous infusion of different doses ofoxytocin in cesarean section.Methods Sixty full-term pregnant women undergoing cesarean section with continuous epidural anesthesia were divided into three groups by random digits table method with 20 cases each:group A,B and C.Three groups were injected 10 U oxytocin in uterine muscle after infant delivery.Group A,B and C received 5,10 and 20 U oxytocin (sodium lactate ringer,500 ml) continuous intravenous infusion at the speed of 10 ml/min.If happened uterine contractions bad,they were sublingual administering 0.2 mg misoprostol.If happened severe hypotension,they were intravenous injected 5 mg ephedrine.The change of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heat rate before anesthesia (T0),after fetal childbirth (T1),5 m in (T2),10 min (T3),30 min (T4) after infusion of oxytocin and the dosage of ephedrine and misoprostol were recorded.Results There were no significant differences in MAP and heart rate at every time point between group A and B (P＞ 0.05).MAP decreased and heart rate increased in group C at T2,T3 compared with those in group A and B,and there were significant differences (P＜ 0.05).The number of cases of sublingual misoprostol were increased in group A (7 cases) compared with that in group B (2 cases) and group C(1 case).The 8 patients injected ephedrine in group C were more than group A(1 case) and group B (3 cases).Conclusion Cesarean section after the delivery of the fetus in the uterus muscle injection of oxytocin 10 U,after 10 U of oxytocin added 500 ml sodium lactate ringer injection at the speed of 10 ml/min intravenous infusion has little effect on the blood pressure and heart rate,and has good uterine contractions.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of survivin, p53 and Ki-67 on Hep-2 human laryngeal cancer endothelial cell proliferation and invasion.Methods:Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and paracancerous normal tissues were collected, total RNA was extracted from tissues,survivin,p53and Ki-67gene mRNA expression levels in laryngeal cancer and the adjacent tissues were detected by Real-time PCR. Human laryngeal cancer Hep-2 epithelial cells were selected,survivin gene was overexpressed, and cell proliferation was detected by MTT.p53 andKi-67gene expression changes in overexpressedsurvivin gene were detected by Western blot. Changes in Hep-2 cell invasive ability were studied whensurvivin was overexpressed as detected by Transwell invasion assay.Results: In the adjacent tissues, survivin,p53andKi-67 gene relative expression levels were 1.72 ± 0.9, 13.7 ± 5.7 and 5.7 ± 1.3, respectively; while in cancer tissues, gene relative expression levels were 53.7 ± 8.3, 66.7 ± 5.2 and 61.0 ± 3.1, respectively, which was significantly increased. As detected by MTT, relative cell survival rate within 12 h ofsurvivinoverexpression were: load control group, (88.5±1.6)%; overexpressed group, (90.3±1.9)%. Transwell invasion assay results indicated that overexpressedsurvivincould significantly increase the relative survival rate of cells. Conclusions:Expressions ofp53,Ki67 and survivin are increased in cancer; and there is a positive correlation betweensurvivin, p53andKi67 expressions in laryngeal carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo study the dynamic changes in the protein marker expression in the spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) of mice at different ages by iTRAQ protein mass spectrometry and to screen new markers using the bioinformatic proteome database.

METHODSBased on the postnatal weeks, we divided 80 healthy male C57BL/6 mice into eight age groups of equal number, harvested their testicular tissues, extracted proteins following purification of the SSCs by compound enzyme digestion and magnetic-activated cell sorting. Then we analyzed and identified proteins using two-dimensional electrophoresis, protein mass spectrometry, and protein database information.

RESULTSTotally, 248,510 mass spectra were obtained from the MS experiment and 1132 proteins were identified. By the criteria of >1.2-fold for protein abundance difference and P value <0.05, we identified 298 differentially expressed proteins and 9 currently known makers of SSCs (PCNA, GFRalpha1, CDH1, Annexin A7, UCHL1, VASA, CD49f, CD29, and PLZf). Compara- tive analysis showed different expressions of the proteins in the SSCs of the mice of different ages, and the differences in the expressions of GFRalpha1, CD49f, and CD29 were consistent with the findings in other published literature. Ten proteins (P63, CD71, CD98, K19, ACE, K18, K15, K17, SH2, and SH3) were selected as SSC markers to be further studied.

CONCLUSIONThe proteins in SSCs are differentially expressed in mice of different ages. The technology of iTRAQ protein mass spectrometry can be used to analyze and compare the proteome information of mouse SSCs, obtain differentially expressed proteins in mice of different ages, and thus offers a new ap- proach to further analysis and study of the function and roles of these differential proteins.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence and subtype distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and its correlation with age among women in Beijing urban area, and provide some epidemiological evidence for the clinical application of HPV vaccines.

METHODSWe collected cervical specimens from 1999 women in the Outpatient Department of our hospital, performed genetyping of HPV-DNA, and analyzed the incidence of HPV infection in different age groups.

RESULTSHPV infection was detected in 502 (25.2%) of the 1999 women patients, with 391 (19.6%) cases of high-risk HPV, which included 326 (83.4%, 326/391) cases of single infection. HPV-16 was the most common type (21.2%, 69/326), followed by HPV-52 (19.3%, 63/326) and HPV-58 (16.0%, 52/326). The prevalence of HPV infection was the highest among the women aged 41 -50 years and the lowest among those over 60 years.

CONCLUSIONThe subtype- and age-specific distribution of HPV infection among women in Beijing urban area shows an obvious heterogeneity, which deserves due consideration in the clinical application of HPV vaccines.

Objective To investigate the relationship between CIDE-B change and apoptosis by detecting expression of CIDE-B gene and protein under various injuring conditions(firearm injury and in- cision injury)and comparing neuronal apoptosis.Methods A total of 108 New Zealand rabbits were randomized into firearm injury group,incision injury group and control group.Samples were harvested at different time points after injury for measuring CIDE-B mRNA expression level by RT-PCR,demonstrating morphological distribution of CIDE-B mRNA by in situ hybridization and determining CIDE-B protein level by Western blot.Results Following nerve injury,CIDE-B mRNA expression in spinal cord was en- hanced markedly in the firearm injury group,increased from at day 1,reached peak at day 7,lasted for two weeks and declined after four weeks.CIDE-B mRNA expression was increased late,with small range in the incision injury group.The changes in CIDE-B protein level accorded with those in CIDE-B mRNA level.There was slight CIDE-B mRNA expression,distributing in spinal cord neuronal cytoplasma,in spinal cord tissues in the control group.Conclusions Following peripheral nerve injury,expressions of CIDE-B mRNA and protein are enhanced in spinal cord neurons and distributed in the grey matter of spi- nal cord.Such enhancement is more marked after firearm injury than incision injury.

Bilateral lung lavage was performed under general anesthesia with muscle relaxation in 3 patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis(PAP)aged 43-57 yrs weighing 48-68 kg.Left lung lavage was performed first and the right lung was lavaged one week later.Left radial artery and right internal jugular vein were cannulated for MAP,HR and CVP monitoring.SpO_2 and P_(ET) CO_2 were monitored during lavage.Left-sided Robertshaw double-lumen tube was used for both right and left lung lavage.After proper placement of the double- lumen tube was verified both lungs were ventilated with 100% O_2 for 10 min to wash out N_2.Hyperoxygenated lavage fluid was made by aerating the lactated Ringer's solution with 100% O_2 at 1 L?min~(-1) flow rate for 30 seconds.The tidal aliquot of lavage was 700 ml which was kept in the lung for 50 seconds and then drained.Each lung was lavaged with hyperoxygenated and plain lactated Ringer's solution 10 times each alternatively.While one lung was being lavaged the contralateral lung was mechanically ventilated with 100% O_2.SpO_2,MAP,HR,CVP and P_(ET)CO_2 were recorded immediately before lavage and at 10,20,30,40,50,60,70 and 80 seconds after the lung was filled with lavage fluid.SpO_2 was significantly higher during lavage with hyperoxygenated fluid than with ordinary lactated Ringer's solution,but there was no significant difference in MAP,HR,CVP and P_(ET)CO_2.The PaO_2 of the 3 patients breathing room air was 46-52 mm Hg before lung lavage and increased to(72.3?2.1) mm Hg one week after left lung lavage and to(83.5?4.8)mm Hg 3d after right lung lavage.During the lung lavage,hyperoxygenic significantly improve oxygen supply in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis compared with lactated Ringer's solution.

Objective To investigate the influence of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on rat renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis induced by albumin and the possible mechanism. Methods The renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) were cultured in DMEM/F12 1:1 medium as normal control group; NRK-52E cells were cultured with 30 g/L fat-free bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the BSA control group; NRK-52E cells were cultured with CoPP (Cobalt pretoporphyrin Ⅸ) 5 μ mol/L for 24 hours as the treatment group. MTT assay was used to observe the effects of CoPP on growth inhibition induced by BSA in NRK-52E cells. The effect of CoPP was observed in BSAinduced apoptosis with the fluorescence microscope dyed by AnnexinV-FITC PI. The levels of HO-1, and expression of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA were detected by reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Compared with normal control group, BSA inhibited the growth of NRK-52E cells (P<0.05) and increased cell apoptosis rate (P<0.05). The CoPP pretreatment partially inhibited the BSA-induced apoptosis(P<0.05). Compared with normal control group, HO-1 mRNA expression increased (0.44±0.06 vs 0.39±0.05, P<0.05) in BSA control group. Compared with the BSA control group, the expression of HO-1 mRNA significantly increased after CoPP pretreatment(0.50±0.06 vs 0.44±0.06, P<0.05 ). Meanwhile, BSA increased the expression of Bax mRNA (0.87±0.04 vs 0.67±0.03, P<0.05)and reduced the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA (0.25± 0.04 vs 0.42±0.02, P<0.05 ). CoPP could inhibit the effect of BSA (Bax mRNA: 0.75±0.07, Bcl-2 mRNA: 0.36±0.03, P<0.05, respectively). Conclusions BSA can increase the apoptosis rate significantly and regulate the expression of apoptosis associated proteins in mRNA level directly. CoPP inhibits these changes, which provides evidence to support the essential role of HO-1 in cytoprotective function .
