Objective To analyze the regulation of NEF3 expression in SH - SY5Y after RA induction. Methods The expression of NEF3 and Brg1 genes was individually detected by realtime RT - PCR and Western blot analyses. Then, the CAT reporter driven by 5' flanking region ofNEF3 gene (pBLCAT3 -2. 8k - NEF3) was co - transfccted with eukaryotic expression plasmids of pBJ5 - Brgl or pBJ5 - Brg1 - NTP into SH - SY5Y respectively. Promoter activity of the NEF3 gene was detected by competitive RT - PCR assay. Results Similar changes in the mRNA expression of NEF3 and Brg1 and that of the protein expression of Brgl were detected in Sh - SY5Y cells af-ter RA treatment for 12 -24h. Wild type Brgl can promote the expression of pBLCAT3 -2.8k -NEF3 promoter after RA induction, but not mutant Brg1. Conclusion Brgl helpes regulating the expression of NEF3 gene possibly via changes in chromatin conformation in the SH -SY5Y cells after RA induction.

Objective To investigate the coagulant function of Thrombomodulin-Protein C-EPCR System in rats with hemorrhagic shock in virto study.Methods In this study,30 rats were divided into three groups,with each group 10 rats:control group,the sham shock group,hemorrhagic shock group.Hemorrhagic shock model was subjected to computer-controlled arterial hemorrhage to 40 mm Hg for 60 min The rat blood serum samples were obtained from rats in sham shock group and shock group after maintaining 3 hours,and fetal bovine serum (FBS) was used as control group.Then medium contained fore-mentioned serums cultured with SV40-transformed aortic rat endothelial cells for 6 hours,12 hours and 18hours.The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of thrombmodulin (TM),Endothelial cell protein C receptor in the SV40-transformed aortic rat endothelial cells which were treated with serums were detected by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction.Results Compared to control group,SVARECs were incubated for 6hrs with shock serum,the mRNA expression of TF,TM and t-PA was significantly higher,and continued elevating at the time of 18 hours (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Serums from hemorrhagic shock rats upregulate TMmRNA EPCRmRNA expression on the endothelial cells surface.It is suggested that Thrombomodulin-Protein C-EPCR System pay a key role of anticoagulation,the protection of endothelial function.

The result of a nutritional survey on potassium intakes of population and serum potassium contents of healthy adults in Shanghai (high occurrence of hypokalemia), Sichun (moderate occurrence of hypokalemia) and Shandong (null occurrence of hypokalemia) revealed that the average daily potassium intakes for the three areas were 60.1?16.6, 54.6? 13.4 and 58.7? 11.1 mmol per capita per day respectively; The serum potassium contents of the three areas were 4.2?0.3,4.0 ?0.3 and 4.2?0.4 mmol/L respectively. These results indicated that the daily potassium intakes and serum potassium contents between Shanghai and Shandong were not significantly different and might suggest that the occurrence of gossypol related hypokalemia in Shanghai and Sichun could not be attributed to the low potassium intakes and low serum potassium contents of the population.
