China Biotechnology 2006;0(01):-
TFL1 homologs play important roles in maintaining vegetative growth and inflorescence meristem identity. The plants without the function of this gene usually are flowering earlier. Their normal inflorescence development is inhibited, the inflorescence meristem eventually acquired floral identity, which producing a terminal flower. Up to now, the TFL1 homologs have been isolated from 28 species of plants, including Arabidopsis, Snapdrogen and Tomato. The phylogenic tree of TFL1 proteins is almost accordance with the relative of those plants. The inflorescence identity gene TFL1 interacted with floral meristem identity genes LFY and AP1, so as to retard the transformation from inflorescence identity into floral identity. These meristem identity genes such as TFL1 and LFY can be applied in breeding of earl-flowering cultivars, there also have plenty of potentials in breeding fruit-free plantanus, popular or willows.

Objective To evaluate the implication of LEEP cervical conization on the outcome of subse-quent pregnancy. Methods The study group comprised 85 women who had a LEEP in Renmin Hoapital of Wuhan University during Jan. 2005 and Jan. 2007 ,and then had a subaequent pregnancy. 109 control women were extracted from outpatient clinic who received antenatal care in the same period with no history of cervical surgery, matching by age, health condition and perinatal stage. The pregnancy outcome of two groups were analyzed. Results Women who had a LEEP were more likely to give preterm delivery than controla (9.88% va 3.70%). But there waa no differ-ence in preterm delivery(χ2=2.97, P>0.05). So were low birth weight infants, preterm premature rupture of mem-branes (pPROM) or cesarean section. On a further study, we found that the time interval between cervical conization and subsequent pregnancy was associated with risk of preterm birth. The shorter time interval, especially shorter than 6 months,the higher risk of preterm birth. Conclusions LEEP cervical conization is not associated with an in-creased risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight infants, pPROM or cesarean section. LEEP conization is a more sol-id choice for women who want to preserve reproductive function. But it would be better for them to have pregnancy plan six months later.

OBJECTIVETo study the protective effect of puerarin on MPP(+) -induced SH-SY5Y cells by chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA).
METHODThe Parkinson's disease cell model was established by injuring SH-SY5Y cells with 1 mmol x L(-1) MPP+. The CCK-8 staining was adopted to detect the effect the puerarin of different concentrations on the survival rate of MPP(+)-induced SH-SYSY cells. The autophagosome formation was observed under transmission electron microscope. The AO staining showed the changes in the lysosome activity. RT-PCR was used to detect the changes in Lamp2a and Hsc70 mRNA expressions. The western blotting was adopted to test the expressions of Lamp2a, Hsc70 and alpha-synuclein protein in cells.
RESULTWithin the concentration range of 12. 5-50.0 micromol x L(-1), the pretreatment with puerain for 30 minutes could protect the injury of MPP+ in SH-SY5Y cells, and showed a certain dose-effect relationship. The AO staining and electron microscope showed the effect of puerain within the concentration range of 12.5-50.0 micromol x L(-1) on 1 mmol x L(-1) MPP(+)-induced SH-SY5Y cells; autophagosomes emerged in cells, and increased along with the rise in the puerarin dose. The results of the flow cytometry revealed that 50.0 micromol x L(-1) of puerarin could protect against the increase of the ROS level in 1 mmol x L(-1) MPP(+) -induced SH-SY5Y cells and prevent the oxidative injury. The results of RT-PCR and western blotting indicated that puerain within the concentration range of 12.5-50.0 micromol x L(-1) alleviated the MPP(+)-induced SH-SY5Y cell injury, and inhibited the accumulation of alpha-synuclein proteins in MPP(+) -induced SH-SY5Y cells by up-regulating Hsc70, Lamp2a mRNA and protein level.
CONCLUSIONPuerarin could protect against the MPP(+) -induced cell injury, whose protective mechanism may be related to the chaperone-mediated autophagy pathway of interventional molecules.
