Author thinks that it is necessary to improve current clinical surgery teaching work by improving teachers'quality,advocating initiative teaching and professional education,guiding students how to deal with the relationship of doctors and patients,increasing the consciousness of law and self protection and making unified teaching content and target.
2.Detection of anti-dsDNA antibody in SLE patients by enzyme marking staphylococcal protein A (SPA)
Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(01):-
The results of the detection of fhe antibody against dsDNA in 244 sera by immunohisto—chemical method of enzyme marking SPA were reported and compared with immunoflurescence assay and enzyme marking antibody method. Positive rate in 31 cases with SLE was 71%. Of the 31 cases 21 with SLE in theactive phase were all positive,1 out of 10 cases at the recovery stage was positive,2 outof 152 cases with other connective tissue and non connective tissue disease were weaklypositive,61 normal persons were all negative.The overall agreement was the same asthe immunofluorescence and enzyme marking antibody method.Enzyme marking SPAmethod offers a number of significant advantageous.This method was easily operated,did not need to prepare second antibody,and special equipment was not needed.It can beused clinically.

Objective To study the effect of puerarin on the nitrogen monoxide(NO) concentration in rats with pre-eclampsia. Methods Thirty SD rats were selected and divided into three groups: normal pregnancy group, pre-eclampsia model group and puerarin group(10 rats in each group). We used endotoxin to set up the pre-eclampsia model rats on gestation 14th day and puerarin to treat these rats. The 24 hour urine protein on gestation 8th,15th,19th days were determined, as well as the heart rate, blood pressure on gestation 10th,15th,19th days. Nitrate reductase method was used to determine the plasma NO concentration of each group on gestation 21st day. Results (1) There was significant difference in urine protein concentration between the puerarin [(73 ? 20) ?g],pre-eclampsia [ (464 ? 57)?g], and normal pregnancy [(140 ? 12)?g], groups (which is equal to the value of urine protein of pregnancy 19th day subtracting that of pregnancy 8th day, P0.05).(4)There was significant difference in NO concentration (NO concentration at gestation 19th day subtracting that of 8th day) between the three groups(P

Calycosin, which is a kind of typical phytoestrogen, can bind with estrogen receptor and produce estrogen-like effects. Calycosin were reported to have antioxidant, anti-osteoporosis, anti-tumor and immunomodulating activities. This review covers biological activities and its mechanism of calycosin. It will provide a useful reference for clinical research and rational utilization of monomericompound.

Objective: To study the effect of wortmannin (WM), a PI3K/Akt inhibitor, on the proliferation and apoptosis of leukemia cells and the possible mechanism. Methods: Human leukemia cell line K562 was treated with different concentrations of WM. The proliferation of K562 cells was examined by MTT assay. DNA damage in K562 cells was examined by single cell gel electrophoresis assay, and apoptosis of K562 cells was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining. The expressions of total Akt, phosphorate-Akt (p-Akt), and NF-κB p65 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results: WM inhibited the proliferation of K562 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with the IC((50) value of 24 h being 25 nmol/L. WM also induced apoptosis of K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner. DNA damage in K562 cells was demonstrated by appearance of comet tail after treatment with WM, with the rate of DNA tail and the tail length being significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). WM dose-dependently inhibited P-Akt and NF-κB p65, but not the total Akt, mRNA and protein expressions. Conclusion: WM can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of K562 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, probably through down-regulation of phosphorate PI3K/Akt signal pathway and NF-κB expression.

Objective To observe the expression of matrix metalloproteinases(MMP)-1,MMP-3 and iNOS in cartilage of experimental rabbit osteoarthritis at different time intervals after anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT)operation.The aim of this study is to provide the theoritical evidence for using ACLT rabbit model in Osteoarthritis(OA)research.Methods Unilateral ACLT was performed on 27 randomly selected while rabbits and underwent unilateral arthrotomy was performed on the other 9 white rabbits as the control group.Nine randomly selected white rabbits in experimental group were killed and 3 white rabbits in the control group at 4th,8th and 12th week respectively.Cartilage degradation of femoral condyles was evaluated macr-oscopically,mRNA expression level and protein expression level of MMP-1,MMP-3 and iNOS was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and immunohistochemistry respectively.Results Forepart OA cartilage degradation was observed at the 4th week and became more severe at the 8th week after ACLF.Afterpart cartilage degradation was evident at the 12th week after ACLT while cartilage still remained normal in the control group,mRNA expression level and protein expression level of MMP-1.MMP-3 and iNOS were increased at the 4th week and became higher gradually at the 8th,12th week after ACLT compared with the control group.Expression distribution of MMP-1,MMP-3 and iNOS bad different patterns respectively.Conclusion It is suggested that the process of OA cartilage degradation can be simulated by ACLT model and MMP-1,MMP-3 and iNOS may be good markers in therapeutical research of OA.
