AIM: To observe the mRNA expressions of Insulin-induced gene 2(Insig-2) and Vitamin D receptor(VDR) in HepG2 cell line and investigate the possible mechanism of berberine on regulating blood lipid. METHODS: HepG2 cells were incubated with Bet at different concentrations(1,3,10,30,100 ?mol/L),and incubated with 3 ?mol/L berberine for various times(0,12,24,48,72 h).Total RNA was extracted and the mRNA expressions of Insig-2 and VDR from HepG2 cells treated by berberine were quantified by RT-PCR.(RESULTS): After exposure to gradient concentrations of berberine for 24 h,the mRNA expressions of Insig-2 and VDR in HepG2 cells increased obviously peaked at 3 ?mol/L concentration,then the up-regulating effect declined gradually.The relative coefficient between them was(0.753)(P

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease, which is characterized by synovial inflammation. Hyperplasia sublining macrophages found in synovium is an early hallmark of RA and effective treatment results in their diminution. However, the origin of these sublining macrophages in synovium (including infiltrated macrophages and tissue-resident macrophages) are still unknown both in animal models of arthritis and RA patients, let alone the differences and feature of these macro?phages. In rheumatic synovium, macrophages are submitted to a large variety of micro-environmental signals which influence the phenotypic polarization and activation of macrophages. Understanding the mechanisms and functional consequences of the heterogeneous macrophages will contribute to confirm their potential role in synovial inflammation development. Furthermore, research on macrophage plasticity to soft-control their phenotypic polarization could lead to novel therapeutic approaches.

Chinese Medical Ethics 1995;0(02):-
As a young discipline imported from the West,Chinese bioethics has made tremendous achievements in the last three decades.However,at the same time,there are also certain confusions about its ideaistic origins and academic development.Observing the trends in the growth of western bioethics and the changes in the contemporary real social life,we can see that it is the time to break the current bottleneck for the contemporary development of Chinese bioethics.Specifically,Chinese bioethics should shift its attention to the quality of life,and manifests its thought depth and academic value through reflecting the reality.Advancing with the times,the bioethics is bound to have a brighter future.

Objective To investigate the clinical, pathological features of Casfleman's disease (CD)and evaluate the treatment and prognosis. Methods Twenty six cases of CD diagnosed by pathological examination from January 2003 to October 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The ratio of male to (76.9 %) patients are local CD(LCD) and six (23.1%) are multicentric CD (MCD). Two of them show the inereaseot reactive plasma cells in bone marrow. One patient was complicated with autoimmunal disorder. One patient complicated diffused Interstitial lung change. According to the pathological classification, twenty four patients (92.3 %) are hyaline vascular type (HV), and two (7.7 %) are plasma cell type (PC). For treatment,ninety patients (73 %) that totally LCD type accepted completely resection, three patients (11.5 %) accepted uncompleted resection, four patients (15.4 %) accepted chemotherapy COP, CHOP, ECHOP. Follow-up toOctober 2008, all the patients are alive and average survival time is 5 years. Conclusion CD is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, there are slightly more female patients than male in morbility, no age difference is found in CD. Lymphomegaly and no pain is the common symptoms. Single lymphomegaly is more often,system symptoms are commonly occurred in MCD. Pathological examination is the golden standard in diagnosis. HV type is more than PC. PC type can complicated reactive plasma cells and increase autoimmunal disorder. The patients of LCD would be cured with completely excision, and chemotherapy such as COP will significantly reduced the lymphomegaly but lightly to the systematical symptoms for MCD type.

Objective To analyse the experience and treatment of early phase severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in intensive care units (ICU).Methods A multicenter retrospective study was done on patients with SAP treated in three major teaching hospitals (Beijing Hospital,Peking University First Hospital and Peking University Shenzhen Hospital) in China from Jan.2001 to Dec.2011.Results There were 188 patients who were enrolled in the study,including 121 males and 67 females.The age ranged from 19 to 104 (51.0±18.2) years.The mean APACHE Ⅱ score was (22.2±4.6).84.0% of patients survived,the mortality was 10.1% in the early phase and 5.9% in the late phase.The most common systemic complications were acute renal injury (46.3 %),acute respiratory distress syndrome (35.6%),and septic shock (17.6%).The local complication rate was 47.3%,which included acute peripancreatic fluid collections (32.8%),acute necrotic collection and walled-off necrosis (48.4 %) and pseudocyst (18.8 %).The conservative treatments included intensive care,fluid resuscitation,mechanical ventilation,continuous renal replacement therapy,antibiotics,glucose control,inhibition of pancreatic enzyme activity and secretion,and nutritional support.Surgical intervention included endoscopic retrospective cholangio-pancreatography and endoscopic sphincterectomy,B ultrasound or CT guided puncture and drainage,and surgical drainage and debridement of necrosis.Conclusions The early phase of SAP was characterized by systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome which accounted for the first peak in mortality.Intensive care therapy and multi disciplinary comprehensive combined strategy were very important for these patients with systemic and local complications.ICU treatment in the early phase was preferred for patients with SAP.

Objective:To establish a mouse fibroblastic cell line stably transfected with HMGA1 gene,and to use the cell line to investigate the role of HMGA1 in tumor development and progression.Methods:Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.0-HMGA1 was transfected into NIH3T3 by lipofectamine-mediation.Stable transfectants were selected by G418.The expression of extraneous HMGA1 gene was analyzed by RT-PCR and DNA sequencing.Cell growth was measured through MTT and the cell cycle by FCM.Soft agar colony formation was employed to analyze the ability of anchorage-independent growth.The expression of the immune inhibition factors of VEGF and FasL mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Results:NIH3T3 cell lines stably expressing HMGA1 gene were successfully established.Comparing with controls,the HMGA1 gene-transfected cells grew faster,acquired the ability of anchorage-independent growth and expressed the immune inhibition factors of VEGF and FasL mRNA.Conclusion:Extraneous expression of HMGA1 gene can induce malignant transformation of NIH3T3 and modulate mRNA expression of immune inhibition factors.HMGA1 gene plays a key role in tumor development,progression and immune escape.
