BACKGROUND:High-density lipoprotein is related to lipid metabolism, but its function cannot be restricted to the scope of lipid metabolism. Simultaneously, exercise regulation has effects on the activity and amount of high-density lipoprotein, but the optimal movement pattern needs to be studied. OBJECTIVE:To offer the theoretical support for formulating fitness training and prospect the possible direction and reference in fol ow-up studying the biological function and exercise regulation of high-density lipoprotein. METHODS:PubMed database was searched for relevant articles published from 1990 to 2015 using the keywords of“HDL and exercise, HDL and biological function”in English. Final y, 44 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The biological functions of high-density lipoprotein mainly include high-density lipoprotein-mediated metabolism of glucose, protein and fat, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and insulin secretion, and at the same time, we summarize the effects of exercise on the concentration, numbers of molecular and components of high-density lipoprotein. The results indicate that the combination of resistance and endurance training is the best way for raising the concentration and functional effects of high-density lipoprotein.

After stained by annexin V and propidium iodine, cells were passed throw flow cytometer and examined by fluorescence microscope and sym-focus laser scaning microscope.Results:In comparison with untransfected cells,the soluble FasL could be detected in the supernatant of transfected cells, Fas L can be expressed in the membrane and cytoplasm of transfected cells. The apoptotic cell rate in transfected cells was 36.30%, as the control, untransfected cells was 11.53%.Moreover, the different stage of apoptotic cells could be distinguished by annexin V and propidium iodine stain.Conclusion:This supports a novel pathway of HCC cells were apoptotic itself via the CD95-CD95 ligand system without involvement of immune cells.

Objective Comparative evaluation of flow cytometric immunophenotyping in the diagnosis and differentiation of lymphadenopathy,lymphoma and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. Methods Ninty-nine fine-needle aspiration specimens from patients with tentative clinical lymphoprofierative disorders were consecutively analyzed by both cytology and flow cytometry with histology results as the gold standard. The three color antibodies including CD3,CD3,CD4,CD5,CD10,CD19,CD20,CD23,CD45,K,λ,FMC7 and CD34 were used for cell composition evaluation and cells with abnormal phenotype. Lymphoma cases were classified according to new WHO classification and subtypes were categorized by immunophenotypic analysis. The results from flow cytometry and cytology were compared. Results By cytological study, 40 of 99 cases were diagnosed with lymphoma, 29 cases were diagnosed with metastatic carcinoma, and 30 cases were diagnosed with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, necrosis or tuberculosis. Among them, 2 non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL) cases were misdiagnosed as reactive lymphoid hyperplasia by cytology. Biopsy was performed in 18 cases of NHL including 16 B-NHL and 2 T-NHL By flow cytometry study, 35 of 99 eases were diagnosed with lymphoma, including 4 cases of lymphoblast lymphoma, 1 case of T-cell lymphoma, and 30 eases of other B-NHL For those 30 cases of B-NHL, 28 cases showed monoclonal light chain expression, and k: λ orλ: k atios exceed 3: 1, and B-cell proportion was (73. 2±27. 2)%. Twenty-six cases could be sub-classified by immunophenotyped. Among 16 histologically confirmed B-NHL cases, only 2 cases diagnosed with follicular lymphoma showed discrepancy with flow cytometry results. In all cases diagnosed with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and metastasis carcinoma , no abnormal lymphocytes can be found, and k: λ or k: λ ratios were less than 3: 1. Conclusions Fine-needle aspiration analysis with flow eytometrie immunophenotyping can be helpful in diagnosis and differential diagnosis as well as sub-classification of NHL

AIM:To research the effects of lithium chloride on transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in cultured human Tenon capsule fibroblasts (HTFs) and explore its mechanism.METHODS:HTFs were cultured and identified by vimentin staining with immunofluorescence and the morphological characteristics.The experimental group was processed 48h with LiCl in concentration of 80mmol/L, the control group without LiCl.The mRNA expression of TGF-β and CTGF in two groups were analyzed with real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real time-qPCR) and the protein expression was detected with Western blot.RESULTS:The cultured HTFs expressed TGF-β and CTGF.The mRNA expression of TGF-β and CTGF significantly decreased compared with the control group(t=20.042, 14.995, P<0.05).the protein expression of TGF-β and CTGF also decreased significantly compared with the control group(t=46.058、12.452, P<0.05)CONCLUSION:The cultured HTFs can express TGF-β and CTGF in mRNA and proteins' level.LiCl can reduce the expression of TGF-β and CTGF both in gene and proteins' level.LiCl has the potential to modulate wound healing for glaucoma filtration surgery.

AIMTo compare the TAOC of quercetin, rutin, vitamin C, vitamin E in vitro and examine the effect of quercetin on TAOC of rat plasma after intragastric administration.

METHODSFe3+ reducing ability assay, UV spectrum analysis and HPLC analysis were used to measure TAOC of plasma and the contents of quercetin and rutin after intragastric administration.

RESULTSThe TAOC of quercetin was stronger than that of rutin and roughly equal to vitamin C and vitamin E in vitro. After intragastric administration of quercetin (40 mg/kg bw), the TAOC and content of quercetin in rat plasma increased significantly. Vitamin C also increased plasma TAOC significantly, but rutin and vitamin E didn't after intragastric administration. However, there was no remarkable absorption peak of quercetin on HPLC chromatograms and on the other hand, the peak areas of two unknown peaks near quercetin peak were increased after intragastric administration of quercetin.

CONCLUSIONThe antioxidant capacity of quercetin was stronger than rutin and comparable to vitamin C both in vitro and in vivo. After absorption, quercetin is metabolized to its derivatives.
