5.Proteomics and its application in diabetes mellitus
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(12):-
With the development of proteomics, the application in the research for the function of proteins becomes popular. This review article presents that proteomics, a kind of tools of molecular biology, has been successfully used for studying the pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

ObjectiveTo establish a method of isolation and culture of neural stem cells(NSCs). MethodsTissues of ventral midbrain were isolated from a rat embryo,and the NSCs were cultured stimulated with basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)in vitro.The cells were identified by immunocytochemistry.ResultsNSCs proliferated into neurosphere in symmetric and non-symmetric cleavage ways,and differentiated into neuron, astroglia and oligodendrosyte. ConclusionsThe method has been established to isolate and culture the neural stem cells.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of povidone-iedine cream plus vagina scrubbing with traditional preoperative vaginal preparation method in order to seek a more safe,effective,convenient and efficient method to prepare the vagina.Methods 100 cases of married patients undergoing elective gynecological surgery were divided into the observation group and the control group with 50 patients in each.The observation group adopted povidone-iodine cream plus vagina scrubbing and the control group used traditional method.Two groups were prepared in the vagina before and after taking cervical swabs for bacterial culture to compare the positive rate of bacterial culture.Results Intra-group comparison of vaginal bacterial culture before and after vaginal preparation was significantly different,but no statistical significance was seen between the two groups.Conclusions Vagina preparation with povidoneiodine cream plus vagina scrubbing can not only reduce the workload of nurses but also improve patient comfort degree.

Objective To compare effect of chemotherapy agent DDP to MACS in sorting cancer stemcells (CSC) of laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2. Methods CD133 magnetic beads were applied to sort Hep-2 cells. Different dosages of DDP were used to treat Hep-2 cells for 48 hours. Enrichment rate of CD133+ cells by MACS and after DDP treatment was detected by Flow Cytometer (FCM). Morphologic change was observed under inverse-phase microscope. Results FCM showed that the sorting rate of CD133+ cells through MACS was 64.33 %, while after DDP treatment for 48 hours, the rate of CD133+ cells was enriched significantly in each dosage of DDP, with the maximal rate was 50.7 %, in the dosage of 4 μg/ml. There was a significantly difference between MACS and each of DDP group (P <0.01). Cells treated with DDP were abnormal in morphology. Conclusion MACS and DDP sorting has respective advantages in enriching CSC in Hep-2 cell lines.

Objective To explore the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)in central nucleus of amygdala (CeA)in the mechanism of fentanyl-induced hyperalgesia (OIH)in rats. Methods Step 1:12 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 60-100 g,were randomly divided into OIH and Control group.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (PWT)and the thermal paw withdrawal latency (PWL)were tested at pre-and post-OIH induction.Then the level of p-ERK in the CeA was analyzed by Western blotting.Step 2:After successful induction of OIH and catheterization in CeA,another 30 SD male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 6 each):Group OIH;Group OIH+U0124;Group OIH+U0126(0.1 5 nmol);Group OIH+U0126(0.45 nmol)and Group OIH+U0126 (1.5 nmol),then 0.3 μl of DMSO,U0124 (1.5 nmol),U0126 (0.1 5 nmol,0.45 nmol,1.5 nmol)was given through the catheter separately.PWT and PWL were tested before cathe-terization,at pre-OIH induction,post-OIH induction and 0.5 h after CeA drug administration.After the last test of pain threshold,the rats were sacrificed and CeA tissues were sampled for analyzing the expression of p-ERK by western blot.Results In step 1 compared with control group,PWT and PWL of OIH group were sharply decreased post-OIH induction (P <0.05),concomitant increase of the expression of p-ERK in CeA in OIH group was also observed.In step 2,both PWT and PWL were sharply decreased post-OIH induction (P <0.05).Intra-CeA U0126 injection,but not U0124, reversed both behavioral hyperalgesia and molecular activation of ERK in CeA in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.05).Conclusion ERK plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of fentanyl-induced hy-peralgesia.Targeting inhibition of ERK activation in CeA can alleviate fentanyl-induced hyperalgesia.
