An optimized two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) system for analyzing plant proteins was developed by evaluating different reagents and concentrations used in the sample extraction solutions and lysis buffers. Two main sample preparation methods, referred to as trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-acetone method and phenol extraction-ammonium acetate/methanol (phenol-NH4Ac/methanol) precipitation method, were compared. Four ecotypes of reed plants (Phragmites communis Trin.) from the desert region of north-western China were used as experimental materials: (1) swamp reed (SR) which grows in water about 1 m deep; (2) dune reed (DR) which grows on 5～10 m high sand dunes; (3) heavy salt meadow reed (HSMR) which grows on low-lying salt flats; and (4) light salt meadow reed (LSMR) which grows in the transition area between DR and HSMR growing areas. The optimized phenol-NH4Ac/methanol precipitation method consisted of extracting leaf proteins of different ecotypes of reed with water-saturated phenol and then precipitating with a 5-fold volume of 0.1 mol/L NH4Ac in methanol, followed by dissolving in the lysis buffer. The optimized protein lysis buffer consisted of 7 mol/L urea, 2 mol/L thiourea, 4% CHAPS, 2% Ampholine(pH 3.5～10∶pH 5～8 = 1∶4) and 65 mmol/L DTT. The prepared protein sample (80 ?g) was then separated by 2-DE gel and detected by silver staining method. This improved 2-DE system resulted in a 2-D protein profile of higher resolution and higher protein yields as analyzed by PDQuest software. Good results were also obtained when this 2-DE system was used in 2-D analysis of proteins from other plant materials, such as rice leaves, indicating that it is a suitable 2-DE system for analyzing leaf proteins of different plant species.

Objective To compare the efficacy and survival of patients with malignant obstructive jaundice using either endoscopic self-expandable metallic stents or surgery,and to evaluate the compounding factors influencing prognosis.Methods 56 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice treated with endoscopic self-expandable metallic stents (the endoscopic group) were compared with 90 patients who received surgery (the surgery group) during the same study period.Clinical data and survival of the 2 groups of patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results The success rate was 100％ in the endoscopic group.The serum bilirubin,alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT) decreased significantly by using either therapeutic endoscopy or surgery (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference between the two groups in the reduction of serum total bilirubin.The mean survival of the endoscopic and surgery groups were 340 d and 795 d respectively.The accumulative survivals of the endoscopic group at 3,6 and 12 months as evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method were 82.6 ％,61.1％ and 46.6 ％,respectively,and for the surgery group were 97.0％,90.9 ％ and 65.4％ respectively. There was a significant difference in survival between the two groups (P＜0.01).Survival after therapeutic endoscopy was similar to surgery for patients with metastasis and hilar biliary obstruction.Conclusions Self-expandable metallic stents gave similar palliation in the relief of jaundice in patients with malignant biliary obstruction.The stents had no effect on the primary tumor.Therapeutic endoscopy with self-expandable metallic stents is a safe and effective method for the relief of jaundice in patients with obstructive jaundice caused by non-resectable malignant tumors.

Objective To investigate the association of nitrotyrosine with coronary heart disease (CHD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods The nitrotyrosine levels were determined in 109 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus without CHD (T2DM).One hundred and fifty-two patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with CHD (T2DM-CHD) and 103 healthy control subjects by ELISA.Results T2DM-CHD patients had significantly increased nitrotyrosine compared with T2DM group and the control group [ ( 78.17±10.68 )nmol/L,(70.50 ± 9.13) nmol/L vs ( 63.23 ± 11.55 ) nmol/L,Ps ＜ 0.01 ].Nitrotyrosine was correlated with total cholesterol,triglyceride,fasting glucose and Gensini Score (r=0.361,P=0.009;r =0.206,P=0.001 ;r=0.347,P=0.026; r=0.466,P ＜ 0.001 ).Multivariable logistic regression showed nitrotyrosine was independently associated with CHD combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( OR=1.094,95％ CI:1.053-1.137 ; P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion Nitrotyrosine plays an important role in the formation and development of cardiovascular disease in tvoe 2 diabetes.

Objective To explore the effect of Numb on tubular epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in rat proximal epithelial cells. Methods NRK52E cells were treated with different concentrations of recombinant human transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) (0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 μg/L) for 48 h or 10 μg/L TGF-β1 for different times (0, 24, 48, 72 h) in vitro. The expressions of E-cadherin, a-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) and Numb in NRK 52E cells were detected by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Meanwhile Numb siRNA oligo was transfected into NRK 52E cells with lipofectamine before TGF-β1 treatment, then Western blot was applied to detect the protein expression of E-cadherin, α-SMA and Numb in NRK52E cells. Results TGF-β1 could induce EMT in NRK52E cells in dose- and time-dependent manner. During the progress of TGF-β1-induced EMT, the protein expression of Numb in 5, 10, 15, 20 μg/L group was 1.33 folds (P=0.024), 1.39 folds (P=0.035), 1.45 folds (P=0.025), 1.51 folds (P=0.000) respectively as compared to 0 μg/L group. Likewise, the protein and mRNA expression of Numb in 24 h, 48 h, 72 h group was 1.48 folds (P=0.046) and 1.56 folds (P=0.012), 1.54 folds (P=0.011) and 1.82 folds (P=0.008), 1.79 folds (P=0.028) and 1.82 folds (P=0.002) respectively as compared to 0 h group. Moreover, large amount of Numb was accumulated in the cytoplasm. Down-regulation of Numb expression by siRNA transfection did not influence the basal expression of E-cadherin and α-SMA in NRK 52E cells, but attenuated the progression of EMT in NRK52E cells induced by TGF-β1. The up-regulation of α-SMA protein was reduced to 18.1% (P=0.004) while the down-regulation of E-cadherin protein was reversed to 2.19 folds (P=0.004). Conclusion Numb can promote EMT in rat proximal epithelial cells.

phological changes in rat liver tissues. TLR4 and NF-κB expression in the liver tissues were measured by im-munohistochemistry . The results showed that compared with the normal group , the serum levels of transaminase ( ALT , AST ) and endotoxin of the model group were higher ( P < 0 . 01 ); and the degree of liver pathology injury was significantly increased; the TLR4 and NF-кB expression were increased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum levels of transaminase (ALT, AST) and endotoxin of the experimental group were lower (P < 0.01), the degree of liver pathology injury was significantly lighter; the TLR4 and NF-кB expression were significantly lower (P < 0.01). It was concluded that the WYJDHY granules has a good role in the prevention and treatment of liver injury of rat model of hepatic failure IETM through the downregulation of liver expression of TLR4 and NF-кB in rat liver tissues , reducing serum levels of endotoxin , which may be one of the mecha-nisms on hepatic failure treatment .
