0.05). Positive stains were located in cytoplasm of cancer and stromal cells, especially in invasive margin of cancer. Slight positive stains were observed in non-cancer tissues. But in the control samples, there wasn't specific stain. In ELISA, the uPA antigen levels in cancer and non- cancer tissues were (4.23?0.57)ng/mg protein and (1.26?0.14)ng/mg protein; the uPAR antigen levels in caner and non-cancer tissues were(4.25?0.21)ng/mg protein and (3.15?0.23)ng/mg protein respectively. Significant difference existed in both uPA and uPAR antigen levels in these two kinds of tissue ( t=18.963,P=0.000;t=13 693,P=0 000 ). Furthermore, these antigen levels in progressive and aggressive tumors significantly higher than those in non-progressive and non-aggressive tumors ( P

This study was undertaken to examine ncNOS IR in bladder after spinal cord injury (SCI). In the meantime, we determine rats bladder ncNOS IR following intravesical instillation of capsaicin after SCI. Adult Sprague Dawley rats and guinea pigs were randomly divided into normal group, sham injury group, spinal cord injury group (4～5weeks after T 8～9 transection). A dose of 1mmol/L intravesical capsaicin was instilled in a part of SCI rats. Bladders of all animals were divided into three tissue pieces: bladder base, bladder body and bladder dome,in which the distribution of ncNOS IR was examined. Spinal transection induced a significant ncNOS IR increase in guinea pig bladder base. In rats, the quantity of ncNOS IR did not differ between the two groups. Instillation of intravesical capsaicin can cause significant up regulation of rat bladder ncNOS IR after SCI. The increase of ncNOS IR in SCI animals bladder indicates that NO may play an important role in the regulation of micturition reflex after SCI. In SCI rats, ncNOS IR can significantly be up regulated by intravesical capsaicin instillation, suggesting that NO may act as a factor in the action of capsaicin.

Aim To study the effects of extract of astragalus on hippocampal delayed neuronal death of totalcerebral ischemia and 7 days reperfusion in rats.Methods Global ischemia was made by four-vessel occlusion. Electron microscope was used to observe the ultramicrostructure of dorsal hippocampal neurons.Light microscope was used to survey the structure of hippocampal neurons and to count the number of normal neurons in CA1 sector. Glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) was detected by immune histochemistry.Results Compared with ischemia and reperfusion group(I/R),EA improved the ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons, suppressed the decrease of normal neurons in CA1 and degraded the expression of GFAP .The number of normal neurons in I/R group was 38?11.5,and in EA(20,40 mg?kg -1) groups,63?12.8(P

Objective To detect the effect of oridonin(ORI)on the gene expression of human esophageal carcinoma cell SHEEC and to screen the tumor cell apoptosis target genes.Methods The gene expression of human esophageal carcinoma cell SHEEC without and with ORI induction for 1 hours and 8 hours were detected with microarray technique,respectively.The differentially expressed genes were identified and verified with fluorecent quantitative PCR.Results A total of 1011 genes showed up or down regulation more than twice after ORI induction(including 280 genes after 1 hour and 731 genes after 8 hours induction respectively).In these genes,17 genes with the top extent of up or down regulation were identified,which were involved in the cell signal transduction,transcription regulation,and cell apoptosis.These 17 differentially expressed genes were verified with real-time PCR,and 12 genes were statistically significant.Conclusion In the 12 differentially expressed genes with statistically significance,there may have tumor cell apoptosis target genes induced by ORI through mitochondrion route.

Aim To study the mechanisms of protective effects of extract of astragalus against focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. Methods Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by intraluminal thread occlusion of middle cerebral artery. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine expression of TNF-?,IL-1? was measured by radioimmunity, and the apoptosis was observed by TUNEL. Results EA(20、40、80 mg?kg -1,ig)could decrease the expression of TNF-? and the level of IL-1? and reduce cell apoptosis. Conclusion EA has inhibitory action on the increase in the expression of TNF-?,the level of IL-1? and the apoptosis of neurons induced by focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.

Objective To investigate the roles of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 and its ligand I-TAC in the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).Methods A total of 48 ITP patients were enrolled in this study:30 with newly diagnosed or relapse ITP and 18 in remission after treatment,and 24 healthy volunteers were as controls.IFNγ and I-TAC in plasma were detected by ELISA.The mRNA expression of CXCR3 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) was determined by quantitative RT-PCR.Results The IFNγ level in the plasma of ITP patients before the treatment was obviously increased than those in the remission group and controls[ (71.45 ± 17.62)ng/L vs (36.94 ±14.86 )ng/L and (25.28 ± 12.85 )ng/L,all P ＜ 0.05 ]and those in the remission group was higher than in the controls ( P ＜ 0.05 ).In contrast,there were no statistic differences of the levels of I-TAC among the three groups[ (455.56 ± 144.70 ) ng/L,( 488.24 ± 164.70 ) ng/L and ( 382.97 ± 167.43 ) ng/L,P ＞0.05 ].Both ITP patients before the treatment and remission groups expressed more CXCR3 mRNA [ 6.76(3.03,37.00),1.76 (0.45,14.18 ) vs 0.12 ( 0.04,0.28 ),P ＜ 0.05 ].After effective therapy,CXCR3mRNA expression decreased,while it was still higher than that in the controls.Conclusions Our data demonstrate that Th1 cytokine (IFNγ) dominance is reflected in ITP.Simultaneously,the CXCR3 + cell may play a role in cell-mediated immunity through chemotaxis in ITP.

BACKGROUND: Silk fibroin film showed an anti-coagulated blood activity following sulfurous acid treatment; however, its flexibility and anti-tension were poor. If the silk flbroin film was coated on small-caliber expanded poly(tetrafiuoroethylene) (ePTFE) vascular grafts prior to surface sulfonation, the adverse effects were improved and the blood compatibility of ePTFE vascular grafts were remarkably enhanced. OBJECTIVE: To research the preparation of ePTFE vascular grafts applied by surface sulfonation of silk flbroin film by low temperature plasma treatment. METHODS: The ePTFE vascular grafts were treated with low temperature plasma and coated on the surface of silk fibroin. The compound was then sulfonated with low temperature plasma. The ePTFE vascular grafts were considered as the controls to detect contact angle and sulfonation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The contact angle was decreased gradually form 87.7°to 65.1° following low temperature plasma treatment. Moreover, the contact angle was 106.2° following coating silk flbroin film and 92.9°following sulfonation. X-raylight-electron spectrometer demonstrated that percents of sulfur element on the surfaces of the combined blood vessel was 2.89%, respectively, while that of the control film was only 0.12%. The X-ray light-electron spectrometer also showed that most of the sulfur element were sulfonic group (-SO_3H). The results suggested the feasibility of the preparation of the combined blood vessel.

Objective:To establish the cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/(DDP) cisplatin and to study the relationship between EHD2 and drug resistance. Methods:DDP-resistant human lung cancer cell line A549/DDP was established by gradual and stepwise dose enhancement. MTT was used to measure drug sensitivity. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to evaluate expression and subcellular localization of EHD2 and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Results:The DDP-resistant cell line A549/DDP was established, with a resistance index of 7.6. EHD2 and BCRP expressions both increased and were enriched on the cell surface membrane. Conclusion:Both EHD2 and BCRP expressions were enriched on the resistant cell surface membrane, suggesting that EHD2 endocytic protein stabilizes BCRP and is involved in drug resistance.
