Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2019;39(12):1348-1352
Objective • To reveal the effect of denatured collagen type on the endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis-related proteins expression. Methods • Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured on the plates coated with normal collagen (normal collagen group), half concentration normal collagen (half collagen group) or denatured collagen (denatured collagen group). CCK-8 assay was performed to test cell proliferation ability two days later. The effect of collagen on cell migration was measured by scratch test. The expressions of membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected by Western blotting. The expressions of angiopoietin 1 (Ang-1) and Ang-2 were measured by ELISA. Results • CCK-8 results showed that the proliferation activity of denatured collagen group was significantly higher than that of normal collagen group and half collagen group (P<0.05). Cell migratory capacity was increased in denatured collagen group, of which the scratch was almost covered after 16 h. The protein expressions of MT1-MMP and VEGF were significantly higher in denatured collagen group than those in the other two groups (P<0.05), in which the concentration of Ang-2 was also higher than that in normal collagen group (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the concentration of Ang-1 among the three groups. Conclusion • Denatured collagen type can promote proliferation, migration and MT1-MMP, VEGF, and Ang-2 expressions in endothelial cells, suggesting that collagen denaturation may play an active role in the process of angiogenesis during wound healing.

Objective To observe the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on hand dysfunction after stroke. Methods From March, 2013 to June, 2015, 56 cases of stroke with hand dysfunction were divided into group A (n=28) and group B (n=28). Both groups received basic rehabilitation, while group B received TEAS in addition, for six weeks. They were evaluated with Brunnstrom Grades, Manunl Muscle Test (MMT), Fugl- Meyer Assessment (FMA) of fingers, Motor Status Scale (MSS), modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Motor Hand Functional Status Score and Barthel Index (BI). Results The scores of FMA of fingers, MMT of wrist flexion, MSS, MAS and BI were more in group B than in group A (t>2.2527, P<0.05), and the score of NI-HSS was less in group B (t=3.556, P<0.001). There was no significant difference between two groups in the score of Motor Hand Functional Status Score and MMT of wrist extension (t<0.310, P>0.05). Conclusion TEAS can promote the recovery of hand function and the activi-ties of daily living in patients after stroke.

A strain with relative higher phytase-producing ability, Aspergillus fumigatus WY-2 was screened from soil. The optimal pH and temperature for activity of the phytase from A.fumigatus WY-2 were 5.5 and 55 ℃, respectively. The gene encoding the phytase was amplified from genomic DNA of the strain by PCR, and a 1.5 kb DNA fragment was obtained and then was cloned into vector pMD18-T. The sequencing analysis revealed that the DNA fragment contained a whole open reading frame (ORF) of phytase gene. The phytase gene was 1459 bp in length included with a 61 bp intron and encoded 465 amino acids. A signal peptide encoding 26 amino acids was found at 5′end of the gene. There were 7 potential glycosylation sites in the phytase. The present phytase showed 91% identity in nucleotide sequence and 91% identity in deduced amino acids sequence to the previously reported A.fumigatus ATCC34625 phytase.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of lead on the thyroid function of occupationally exposed workers.
METHOD157 workers occupationally exposed to lead in a smelting factory were investigated. The concentration of lead in air at workshop was measured by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) and the levels of blood lead (PbB) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) by ZnPP meter, as well as the indexes of thyroid function, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T(3)), thyroxin (T(4)), free T(3) (FT(3)), and free T(4) (FT(4)) in serum by radioimmunoassay.
RESULTSThe workers with higher level of blood lead (> 2.88 micro mol/L) showed lower levels of T(3) [(1.54 +/- 0.39) nmol/L] and FT(3) [(5.50 +/- 1.26) pmol/L] than those with lower blood lead level [PbB: (1.92 approximately 2.88) micro mol/L group, T(3): (1.71 +/- 0.45) nmol/L, FT(3): (6.12 +/- 1.64) pmol/L, P < 0.05]. There was no obvious effect of length of service on thyroid hormone of exposed workers.
CONCLUSIONHigher level of blood lead may cause certain damage to thyroid function by inhibiting deiodination of T(4). No obvious relation between length of service and thyroid function was found.

OBJECTIVETo induce DNA oxidative damage in colorectal crypt cells by hydrogen peroxide in vitro.
METHODSHydrogen peroxide was diluted into 100, 50, 10, 5 and 1 micromol/L with RPMI 1640. Colorectal crypt cells were treated with peroxide for 10 min, 30 min, 1 h, 1.5 h, 12 h and 24 h respectively. The survival of colorectal crypt cell was measured by MTT method, and the DNA oxidative damage special product, 8-OhdG was detected with immunohistochemical staining. Liner regression was used to measure the time trend of survival rate with SPSS 10.0 software.
RESULTSurvival rate of colorectal crypt cell was 60% and 80% after 10 min of hydrogen peroxide treatment. The longer treatment of hydrogen peroxide, the lower survival rate; the survival rate was reduced to 30% in 24 h. After 10 or 30 min treatment of 100 or 50 micromol/L hydrogen peroxide, the survival rates of colorectal crypt cells were reduced by 20% compared with those of 10, 5 and 1 micromol/L hydrogen peroxide. However, while cells were treated with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide for 1.0 h or above, there were no differences in cell survival rates. The time trend test results demonstrated that the survival rates of colorectal crypt cells treated with 10, 5 and 1 micromol/L hydrogen peroxide were significantly decreased with the time length of treatment. Colorectal crypt cells treated with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes were positively stained brown in cytoplasm and nuclear by immunohistochemistry with 8-OhdG monoclonal antibody.
CONCLUSIONHydrogen peroxide could induce DNA oxidative damage in colorectal crypt cells. And treated with 1 - 10 micromol/L hydrogen peroxide for 10 - 30 min, DNA oxidative damage is apt to be induced in colorectal crypt cell.
