OBJECTIVETo observe the efficacy of Xiaoyan Zhixue Capsule (XYZXC) in treating uterus abnormal menorrhagia caused by intrauterine device (IUD) and to study its mechanism.

METHODSIUD users with menorrhagia were randomly divided into two groups, the XYZXC treated group and adrenosoem (AC-17) control group. Endometrial tissue of XYZXC treated group before and after treatment were taken out to observe its morphologic change with optic and electronic microscope. Animal experiment was done to observe the effect of XYZXC in eliminating inflammation of patierts, and the relevant parameters were monitored.

RESULTSClinical efficacy: (1) Total effective rate of the treated group was 90.3%, that of control group was 43.5%, comparison between them showed significant difference (P<0.01). (2) Morphological examination of endometrial tissue showed the inflammation in the treated group abated after treatment with the contractible function of helicine artery strengthened. Experimental study showed: (1) The auricular swelling of mice was inhibited by 40.5% in the treated group, the effect was equivalent to that of hydrocortisone (46.9%). (2) Compared with the control group, the plasma 6-keto-PGF1alpha and D-Dimer level in the treated group were markedly lower, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha ratio and plasma endothelin level were markedly higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ET contents in large dosage TCM group was significantly raised (P<0.05). (3) XYZXC could increase amplitude of contraction of the uterus smooth muscle as well as the uterus activity in rats in vivo.

CONCLUSIONXYZXC has obvious anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects, it has marked effect in treating IUD caused pre- and post-menstruation menorrhagia, the possible mechanism may be: (1) Modulating the synthesis of prostaglandin; (2) Antagonizing the IUD caused fibrinolytic hyperfunction; (3) Promoting the synthesis of ET; (4) Increasing the contractility and activity of uterus smooth muscle.

AIMTo investigate the effects of resveratrol (Res) on the proliferation of VSMCs induced by Ang I and the expression of calmodulin (CaM) and calcineurin (CaN) in the proliferation of VSMCs treated by Ang 1 and to discuss the mechanism.

METHODSRabbit arterial VSMCs were cultured in vitro and VSMCs were identified with the method of immunocytochemistry. A cell proliferating model of VSMCs induced by AngII was established. VSMCs were cultured for 4-8 passages. The experiments were randomly divided into control group, AngII group (0.1 micromol/L) and AngII + Res groups with different concentrations(20, 40, 80, 160) micromol/L. VSMCs proliferation was determined with MTT colorimetric method. CaM was detected with Coomassie brilliant blue method and CaN was determined by enzyme reaction phosphorus measurement.

RESULTSRabbit VSMCs were cultured successfully and could be passaged. After immunocytochemistry staining, all the cells cytoplasm were stained and positive. Cell proliferation, CaM and CaN activities were increased significantly in VSMCs proliferation induced by AngII (P <0.05, P < 0.01). The index of AngII + Res groups were obviously reduced compared with AngII group ( P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe VSMCs proliferation induced by AngII can be inhibited by Res significantly, and the inhibiting mechanism of Res may be related to inhibiting CaM and CaN activities then restraining the proliferation of VSMCs in a dose dependent manner.

OBJECTIVETo identify the mutation spectrum and the distribution of minihaplotypes (STR/VNTR) of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene and explore the correlations between genotype and phenotype of patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) in Beijing area of China.

METHOD(1) Fifty cases with PKU were involved in this study. PKU was identified by the Neonatal Screening Center of Beijing. All 13 exons and their flanking intronic sequences of PAH gene of these patients were amplified and then subjected to SSCP analysis and direct sequencing. (2) The distribution of polymorphic locus of short tandem repeat (STR) and variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) was analyzed by PCR and denaturing gel electrophoresis. (3) The correlations between genotype and phenotype were studied by analysis of the matching rate between the expected and observed phenotypes. The predicted phenotype was determined on the basis of the sum of the assigned values of the two mutant alleles.

RESULTS(1) A total of 34 different mutations were detected with the relative frequency of 95% among 50 PKU patients. The prevalent mutations in this study were: R243Q (20%), EX6-96A > G (11%), Y356X (9%), and V399V (7%). The next common mutations were R111X (5%), R413P (5%), R252Q (3%) and A434D (3%). Thirty-four detected mutations were distributed throughout the whole PAH gene, except exon 1, 8 and 13. Exon 7 and 11, with the mutant rate 34% and 19% respectively, seemed to be the hot mutant areas/regions of PAH gene. (2) The minihaplotypes (STR/VNTR) of 34 mutations were identified in this research. The STR and VNTR showed 8 and 3 alleles, respectively. Among them, 244 bp (44%) and 240 bp (34%) were the prevalent STR alleles. Meanwhile, the VNTR3 (83%) was the most common VNTR allele in PKU patients. (3) A better consistency (81.5%) between expected and observed phenotypes was revealed by analysis of correlation between genotype and phenotype. Especially in classic PKU, the consistency rate was up to 87.5%.

CONCLUSION(1) The frequency distribution of common PAH gene mutations in Beijing region was close to that of Tianjin and Yunnan regions, while it was different from that of Southern regions of China, such as Guangzhou, especially Taiwan. The PAH mutation with a highly heterogeneous trait was also demonstrated in this study. (2) STR and VNTR minihaplotype will prove helpful to trace the origins of PAH mutations and to analyze the genetic drift. However, the most minihaplotypes of the STR/VNTR are similar, so it is necessary to associate some other polymorphic loci with the STR/VNTR minihaplotype to analyze the different mutations. (3) The fact that a better consistency existed between phenotypes and genotype with most PKU patients suggested that the study of the genotype of PKU patients would be helpful to the individualized treatment and to genetic counseling for their families.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of early sufficient resuscitation on important organs function and their therapeutic response in sepsis with hypoperfusion.

METHODSFrom January 2004 to December 2005, 34 sepsis patients with hypoperfusion in surgical and respiratory intensive care units were resuscitated sufficiently for the management of severe sepsis and septic shock. According to the time of resuscitation end points, these patients were divided to early resuscitation group (E group, 15 patients) and later group (L group, 19 patients). The important organs function and their therapeutic response followed resuscitation were investigated and compared in the tow groups.

RESULTSAfter earlier sufficient resuscitation, the incidence of repeated resuscitation was 73.7% in L group and 20.0% in E group (P < 0.01); the incidence of steroids replacement, coagulation dysfunction and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) were 63.2%, 73.7% and 68.4% respectively in L group and significantly higher than those in E group (P < 0.05). Seven days after resuscitation, the level of serum creatinine in E group was lower than that in L group (P < 0.05). In the day 1 and 7 after resuscitation, heart rate in E group was lower than that in L group (P < 0.05). Seven days post resuscitation, PaO(2) and PaO(2)/FiO(2) were higher in E group than in L group (P < 0.05). The mortality was 42.1% in L group and 13.3% in E group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSEarly sufficient resuscitation in sepsis patients with hypoperfusion could significantly enhance the effects of following treatment, relieve inflammation and coagulation reaction and thereby reduce the mortality.

OBJECTIVETo investigate MUC2 expression in rat colons induced by probiotics and its effects on the inhibition of E.coli K1 (E44) penetration of the intestinal barrier by probiotics.

METHODSSD rats were subjected to intragastric administration of probiotics, E44, or probiotics +E44 on a daily basis for 7 days, and MUC2 expression in the colons was determined by RT-PCR. MUC2-targeted shRNA (shRNA MUC2) and scrambled shRNA plasmids (shRNA NC) were respectively transfected into Lovo cells, and the efficiency of MUC2 knockdown was determined using qRT-PCR. Competitive exclusion assay was used to evaluate the effects of the probiotics against E44 adhesion and invasion.

RESULTSIntestinal MUC2 mRNA expression was up-regulated in the rats after intragastric administration of probiotics, while E44 administration caused significantly lowered MUC2 expression. MUC2 expression was down-regulated (by 66.7%) by transfection with shRNA MUC2 in Lovo cells as compared with the negative control and mock control cells. The inhibition of E44 adherence and invasion by probiotics was significantly attenuated in transfected Lovo cell culture (in which the relative adhesion and invasion rates of E44 were 56.64% and 66.64%, respectively) as compared with those in the control group.

CONCLUSIONThe up-regulation of MUC2 in rat colons can be one of the mechanisms of the probiotics in antagonizing the translocation of the pathogenic bacteria. Silencing MUC2 expression causes attenuated inhibitory effect of the probiotics on E. coli K1 penetration across human intestinal epithelial cells.

Objective To understand detection results and difference in multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs) in intensive care unit(ICU)and non-ICU.Methods Strains isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients in a hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were analyzed, 6 kinds of MDROs were conducted targeted monitoring, isolation and antimicrobial resistance of 6 kinds of MDROs from ICU and non-ICU patients were compared. Results A total of 1 013 strains of 6 kinds of MDROs were monitored, isolation rate was13.13％.Isolation rate of MDROs in ICU was higher than that of non-ICU (24.60％vs 5.47％, P＜0.001).Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)was the main isolated MDROs, accounting for 69.40％;of different pathogenic organisms, isolation rate of CRAB was the highest(55.75％).The main MDROs detected in ICU and non-ICU were both CRAB, accounting for 76.32％and 48.62％respectively;Of isolated pathogens, isolation rate of MDROs in ICU was higher than that of non-ICU(47.95％vs 8.02％, P＜0.001).Antimicrobial resistance rates of Escherichia coli isolated from ICU to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem, amikacin, and gentamicin were all higher than that of non-ICU, resistant to piperacillin was lower than non-ICU, difference was statistically significant(all P≤0.05);resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae from ICU to common antimicrobial agents(except piperacillin)were all higher than non-ICU(all P＜0.05).Resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa from ICU to common antimicrobial agents were all higher than non-ICU (all P＜0.05).Resistance rates of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from ICU to oxacillin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, and rifampicin were all higher than non-ICU (all P＜0.05), and resistance rates of Enterococcus faeciumto quinupristin/dafoeleptin and tetracycline were both lower than non-ICU (both P＜0.05).Conclusion Isolation rate of MDROs in ICU is high, resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents are also higher than non-ICU, monitoring on MDROs in ICU should be strengthened, and according prevention and control measures should be formulated.

The objective of this study was to observe the expression of hoxc4 and hoxc6 genes in the process of differentiation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) to colony forming unit-T Lymphocyte (CFU-TL) in vitro. and to explore the possible mechanism of HCMV-induced maldevelopment of human cord blood CFU-TL on genetic level through effecting the differentiation progress by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) with and/or all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), Normal CFU-TL culture was used as blank control. After detection with MTT, mRNA expression levels in the human cord blood CFU-TL hoxc4 and hoxc6 genes following HCMV infection and ATRA treatment were detected by fluorogenic quantitative reserve transcription polymerize chain reaction (FQ-RT-PCR) method. HCMV of 10(6) plaque formation unit (PFU)/ml was diluted to 0.1 ml 10(5) PFU/ml and added into the infected group. The results showed that the expression of hoxc4 and hoxc6 genes in the differentiation process increased slightly on day 3, and were up to the most on day 7 (p < 0.05), while became lower on day 12 respectively in normal group, HCMV group and ATRA group. Compared with the expression of hoxc6, the expression of hoxc4 was obviously higher in each group (p < 0.05). Compared with the expression of hoxc4 and hoxc6 genes in normal group, the expressions of hoxc4 and hoxc6 in ATRA group were up-regulated remarkably (p < 0.05), while the expressions of hoxc4 and hoxc6 in group HCMV were down-regulated (p < 0.05). It is concluded that the regular expression of hoxc4 and hoxc6 genes mRNA appeared in each group. A positive co-relationship exits between hoxc4/hoxc6 genes and lymphocytic progenitor hematopoiesis. Compared with the expression of hoxc6 gene, the expression of hoxc4 gene is obviously higher in each group. HCMV can down-regulate the expression of hoxc4 and hoxc6 genes and lead to suppression effect on cell morphology, which confirms that the normal hematopoietic lineage determination and maturation rely on the stable and consistent expression of homeobox gene. At the same condition, ATRA (6 x 10(-8) mol/L at 60 nmol/ml) can up-regulate hoxc4 and hoxc6 genes expression. ATRA can up-regulate the expression of hoxc4 and hoxc6 genes.

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) in adhesion and invasion of phospho- rylcholine (PC)-positive Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).

METHDOSCultured HUVECs were pretreated with the PAFR antagonist CV3988 or anti-human PAFR monoclonal antibody for 30 min before infection with PC-positive or -negative A. actinomycetemcomitans strains. The bacterial adhesion and invasion and cytotoxicity in the cells were examined using MTT assay.

RESULTSPretreatment with PAFR antagonists at 100, 200 and 500 nmol/L significantly reduced the adhesion rate (36.29∓3.52)%, (19.04∓3.35)% and (7.69∓3.19%), respectively] and invasion rate [(12.12∓1.58)%, (7.08∓0.29)% and (2.60∓2.26)%, respectively] of PC-positive A.actinomycetemcomitans in HUVECs. Similarly, pretreatment with anti-PAFR antibody also significantly reduced A.actinomycetemcomitans adhesion and invasion in HUVECs [(50.05∓5.28)% and (39.09∓6.50)%, respectively]. Pretreatment with PAFR antagonist (200 and 500 nmol/L) and anti-PAFR antibody (25 µg/mL) significantly increased the viability of HUVECs incubated with PC-positive A.actinomycetemcomitans from (25.39∓9.33)% to (91.12∓3.14)%, (94.12∓2.15)% and (65.5∓1.87)%, respectively, but such pretreatments did not increase the viability of cells incubated with PC-negative A.actinomycetemcomitans.

CONCLUSIONSPAFR plays an important role in the adhesion, invasion, and cytotoxicity of PC-positive A.actinomycetemcomitans in cultured HUVECs.
