Neonal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastro-intestinal emergency occurring in neonates and it can lead to death of neonates and low birth weight infants.Although numerous risk factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of NEC,the etiology of the disease remains unclear.It lacks effective methods of prevention and treatment of NEC in clinic.Erythropoietin(EPO),a glycoprotein hormone,can mediate antioxidative,antiapoptotic,and vessal proliferation.It may play a role in prevention and treatment of NEC.This review will introduce the treatment of EPO and pathogenesis of NEC.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the hepatic membrane protein MRP3(multidrug resistance-associated protein 3,MRP3) expression and the nuclear hormone receptor RXR?(retinoid-X receptor alpha,RXR?)expression in both cultured hepatoma cell HepG2 and bile duct ligated(BDL) rat liver.Methods Total cellular protein and nuclear protein were isolated from HepG2 cells induced by chenodeoxycholic acid(CDCA) or phenobarbital(PB),as well as from the liver tissue of BDL rats.The protein expressions of MRP3 and RXR? were determined by Western blotting.Results The membrane protein MRP3 expression was significantly enhanced and the nuclear receptor RXR? expression was suppressed by CDCA or PB in HepG2 cells.Similarly up-regulation of MRP3 and down-regulation of RXR? were also observed in BDL rat liver.Conclusion The up-regulation of hepatic membrane protein MRP3 may be associated with down-regulation of nuclear receptor RXR?.

Objective To explore the level of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α( HIF-1α) and vascular endotheli-al growth factor( VEGF) in serum and tissue of patients with metrocarcinoma.Methods 48 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer were analyzed retrospectively.Patients were treated with paclitaxel combination chemotherapy,HIF-1αand VEGF levels in serum of patients were detected by ELISA method before and after the treatment.HIF-1αand VEGF levels in cervical tissue of patients were observed by immunehistochemical staining methods.Western blot method was used to detect the change of HIF-1αand VEGF expression levels in cervical tissues of patients.And the levels of HIF-1αand VEGF in patients with lymphatic metastasis and lymph node metastases were compared. Results Lymph node metastasis did not occur in patients with uterine cancer serum HIF-1αand VEGF were (16.71 ±34.75)ng/L,(255.77 ±87.99)ng/L,respectively,and those after treatment were (98.33 ±32.17)ng/L, (153.67 ±65.45)ng/L,the differences were statistically significant(t=9.416,5.001,P=0.003,0.007) before and after treatment;The serum of patients with lymph node metastasis of uterine cancer in HIF-1αand VEGF increased, and cervical cancer patients after treatment,cervical tissue HIF-1αand VEGF;The metastasis were statistically signif-icant differences occurred(t=3.055,16.196,P=0.038,0.000);HIF-1αand VEGF decreased after treatment,the expression levels were significantly decreased compared with before treatment ( t=5.899,P=0.004;t=9.649,P=0.001);patients with lymph node metastasis after treatment,the expression levels of HIF-1αdecreased compared with before treatmen ( t =5.233, P =0.004), but there was no significant changes in the expression of VEGF. Conclusion The mechanism of taxol anti-uterine cancer may be related with inhibition the expression of HIF-1αand VEGF protein,and thereby inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and cancer metastasis.

Objective To investigate the expression of epidermal growth factor-like domain 7 (EGFL-7) in brain tis?sue of diabetes mellitus (DM) rats, and the intervene effect of amioguanidine and baicalein thereof. Methods Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into following four groups:control group, diabetic group, aminoguanidine group and baicalein group (n=12 for each group). The control group received only pelleted food and water. Diabetic group, aminoguanidine group and baicalein group were given high fat and sugar diet in combination with small dose of intraperitoneal injection of strepto?zotocin to establish the diabetic model. And then aminoguanidine group and baicalein group were given aminoguanidine and baicalein 150 mg/(kg · d) through oral gavaging. Diabetic group and control group were given equivalent saline through oral gavaging. After 16-week treatment, the expression of EGFL-7 proteins in rat brain was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting methods. Results Results of immunohistochemistry and Western blotting assay showed that the ex?pression of EGFL-7 was significantly increased in diabetic group, aminoguanidine group and baicalein group compared with that of control group (P<0.01). When compared with diabetic group, the expression of EGFL-7 was significantly decreased in aminoguanidine group and baicalein group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the EGFL-7 expression be?tween aminoguanidine group and baicalein group (P>0.05). Conclusion EGFL-7 may play an important role in cerebral vascular hyperplasia and remodeling of diabetic rats. Aminoguanidine and baicalein restrained cerebral vessel growth by re?ducing the expression of EGFL-7.

BackgroundWith the number of diabetics increases,people pay more attention to the diabetic keratopathy.The major mechanism leading to diabetic keratopathy is diabetic corneal neuropathy.So it is significant to observe pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy. Objective To investigate the protective effects of edaravone( a free radical scavenger) on corneal nerve of rats with experimental diabetic corneal neuropathy,then explain the effects of oxidative stress in the pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy. Methods Seventy Sprague-Daxley male rats were taken as experimental subjects and 20 of them were used as normal control group.The remaining 50 were induced to be diabetic mellitus by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and divided into 2 groups randomly:edaravone treated group and diabetic control group.In the edaravone treated group,edaravone(0.2 g/L) eye drops were used 3 times a day until the animal was killed.Five rats in each group were sacrificed at 6,8,10 and 12 weeks respectively.Then the corneal sensation,number of corneal nerve fibers,morphology,content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in the corneal tissue were detected.ResultsIn the diabetic control group,the corneal sensation and the number of corneal nerve fibers were decreased,the density of neural network for cluster was sparse,the nerve activity was decreased,the content of MDA in the corneal tissue was significantly increased,the activity of SOD in the corneal tissue was significantly decreased (P＜0.01 ).Accompany with the course of disease,the above change was obvious day after day.Compared with the diabetic control group,the corneal sensation and the morphological abnormalities in corneal nerve of edaravone group were improved significantly which had the partial branches to the 12th week,the content of MDA in the corneal tissue was significantly decreased,the activity of SOD in the corneal tissue was significantly increased (P＜0.01).Conclusions Edaravone can lower diabetic corneal nerve of rats with experimental diabetic corneal neuropathyinjury,Oxidative stress may be a critical pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy.
