AIM: To investigate the effects of prenatal stress (PS) on neurons and neuronal ultrastructure of hippocampus in offspring rats, and to explore the role of the overproduction of oxidants. METHODS: One month male offspring rats were obtained to observe the neuronal number, neuronal ultrastructure and the number of nNOS -positive cell in hippocampus. RESULTS: The neuronal number of CA1 and CA4 subregions in late gestation stress (LS) offspring decreases significantly. The neuronal ultrastructure of CA1 subregion in MS (stress in 7-13 days of gestation) and LS offspring appeared bulgy mitochondria, unclear membrane and irregular electron density. Lipofuscin pigments increased; The number of nNOS-positive cell in CA1, CA2, CA3 subregions and DG of MS group and the whole hippocampus of LS group increased significantly. CONCLUSION: PS damaged the neurons and neuronal ultrastructure of hippocampus of offspring rats. The damages were associated with the overproduction of oxidants.

Objective To compare the roles of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB signal pathway in acute lung injury (ALl) induced by blunt chest trauma and by blunt chest trauma-hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (double hits) in rats.Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 240-280 g,were randomly assigned into 3 equal groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),blunt chest trauma group (T group),and blunt chest trauma and hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation group (group THSR).Lung contusion was induced in anesthetized rats by dropping a 300 g weight onto a precordial protective shield to direct the impact force away from the heart and toward the lungs.Blood was withdrawn via the femoral artery 5 min later until MAP was decreased to 35-45 mmHg within 15 min and maintained at this level for 60 min,followed by resuscitation.At 6 h after the model was established,the arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis and detection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations in serum.Oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) was calculated.The rats were then sacrificed and pulmonary specimens were obtained for determination of TLR4 expression and NF-κB ac tivity (by immunohistochemistry and Western blot) in lung tissues and for microscopic examination.Results Compared with group S,PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 were significantly decreased,PaCO2 and TNF-α concentrations in serum were increased,TLR4 expression was up-regulated,and NF-κB activity was enhanced in T and THSR groups (P < 0.05).Compared with group T,PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 were significantly decreased,PaCO2 and TNF-α concentrations in serum were increased,TLR4 expression was up-regulated,and NF-κcB activity was enhanced in THSR group (P < 0.05).The histopathological damage to lung tissues was aggravated in THSR group as compared with T group.Conclusion The role of TLR-4/NF-κB signal pathway in ALI induced by blunt chest traumahemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (double hits) is significantly stronger than that in ALI induced by blunt chest trauma alone in rats.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standard of Huoxuesan. METHODS:Microscopic identification method was adopted for the qualitative identification of Rhizoma pinelliae,Eupolyphaga seu,Phellodendron amurense and Fructus kochiae in the preparation. HPLC was adopted for the contents determination of phellodendrine,polydatin,jatrorrhizine,berberine and emo-din:the column was ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 with methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid(gradient elution)at a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 240 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃,and the injection volume was 5 μl. RESULTS:Micro-scopic identification map of R. pinelliae,E. seu,P. amurense and F. kochiae was clear.

This article was aimed to study the effects of plumbagin to human hepatic stellate cells.Observations were made on the influence of proliferation inhibition rate,apoptosis,secretion of extracellular matrix function and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) by plumbagin.HSC-LX2 and drug were co-incubated for 48 hours.Then,MTT assay was used in the detection of inhibition of cell proliferation.The flow cytometry was used in the detection of apoptosis.Immunohistochemical method was used to observe typeⅠ and Ⅲ collagen,MMP-1 and MMP-13 expression location and area.The results showed that the low,medium and high concentrations of plumbagin inhibited cell proliferation rate of HSC-LX2,induced apoptosis of cells,reduced the secretion of typeⅠ and Ⅲ collagen,and increased the secretion ability of MMP-1 and MMP-13.Effects mentioned above were dose-dependent with statistical difference (P < 0.05).Effects in the medium and high concentrations groups were stronger than colchicine group.It was concluded that plumbagin had the ability to inhibit cell proliferation rate of HSC-LX2,induce apoptosis,reduce the secretion of extracellular matrix,and increase the secretion ability of fibrin degradation enzyme.Therefore,it had intervention effect on the process of liver fibrosis.All effects mentioned above were dose-dependent.And effects in the medium and high concentrations groups were stronger than colchicine group.

Purpose To explore the difference of expression and prognostic significance of SP1,KLF4 and p21 in low grade ovarian serous carcinoma (LGSC) and high grade ovarian serous carcinoma (HGSC).Methods The expression of SP1,KLF4 and p21 protein was examined with immunohistochemistry EliVision method in cases with LGSC and HGSC.Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox multivariate survival analysis were used to assess the impact of SP1,KLF4 and p21 expression on prognosis of LGSC and HGSC.Results SP1,KLF4 and p21 expression were detected respectively in 74.5%,17.0% and 11.7% HG-SC cases,and in 65.2%,34.8% and 26.1% LGSC cases.Compared to control group,the expression level of SP1 was significantly higher (P < 0.05),but the expression level of KLF4 and p21 were significantly lower (P <0.05).There was no significant difference of SP1,KLF4 and p21 expression between HGSC and LGSC (P > 0.05).The expression of SP1,KLF4 and p21 were associated with FIGO stage,meanwhile SP1 associated with residual tumor size in HGSC (P < 0.05).There was a significant negative correlation between SP1 and KLF4,p21 proteins in HGSC (P < 0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that there were significantly poor overall survival (OS) of 5 years for patients with HGSC displaying high expression of SP1,or low expression of KLF4 and p21 (P <0.05),but no significantly improved OS for patients with LGSC (P > 0.05).Cox analysis showed that SP1 overexpression is an independent prognosis factor for HGSC.Conclusion Overexpression of SP1 and low expresion of KLF4 and p21 contribute to carcinogenesis of HGSC and LGSC.They are associated with a poor prognosis of HGSC,but not LGSC,meanwhile SP1 is an independant prognosis factor for HGSC.
