AIM: To investigate the effects of proteasome inhibitor Z-LLL-CHO(MG132) on human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 and its possibly mechanism.METHODS: After treated with different concentration of MG132,the morphological change,ultrastructral morphology,cell viability,cell apoptosis,gene transcription and protein expression in MG-63 cells were accessed by fluorescence microscope,electron microscope,MTT assay,agrose gel electrophoresis,FCM,RT-PCR and Western blotting.RESULTS: Proteasome inhibitor MG132 was an effective inducer of apoptosis in human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells.Not only apoptotic changes,but also cell arrest at G2-M-phase,the accumulation of p27kip1,the accumulation of activated caspase-8 and increased ratio of Bax∶Bcl-2 were observed.However,to normal human diploid fibroblast cells,MG132 did not show apoptosis-inducing effect.CONCLUSION: Apoptosis induced by MG132 may be caspase-8,p27kip1and bcl-2-related.

Objective To investigate the significance of antibody to Ro-52 in patients with autoim-mune liver disease(AILD). Methods One hundred and fifteen patients with abnormal liver functions, who had anti-Ro-52 detection by immunological blotting, were reviewed retrospectively. According to types of AILD, the clinical features were compared between patients with and without anti-Ro-52, respectively, κ test of concordance was used to provide a chance-corrected valve for immune-serological results. Results The rates of anti-Ro-52 in autoimmune hepatitis( AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis(PBC) and AIH/PBC o-verlap syndrome groups were 32.43%, 24.56% and 33.33%, respectively, there were no significant differ-enees among three groups ( x2 = 0. 949, P >0. 05). The rate of anti-soluble hver antigen/liver-pancreas ( an-ti-SLA/LP) in AIH patients with anti-Ro-52 (58.33%) was higher than AIH patients without anti-Ro-52 ( 16.00% ,P < 0.05 ). The rate of anti-SLA/LP in AIH/PBC overlap syndrome patients with anti-Ro-52 (85.71%) was also higher than that of control group (28.57% ,P <0.05). Anti-Ro-52 and anti-SLA/LP had concordance according to κ test( κ >0.40, P <0.05). The average level of IgG in AIH/PBC overlap syndrome patients with anti-Ro-52 was higher than patients without anti-Ro-52 ( t = 2. 508, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The rates of anti-Ro-52 in AIH, PBC and AIH/PBC overlap syndrome were of no significant differences. Anti-Ro-52 may have correlation with anti-SLA/LP. AIH/PBC overlap syndrome patients with anti-Ro-52 shewed higher IgG level than patients without anti-Ro-52.

Nowadays,small peptides are always expressed in the form of fusion protein.The expression product contains many superfluous amino acids which can affect the biological functions of small peptides even expressed by GST fusion protein expression system.SUMO protease can cut SUMO fusion protein expressed by fusion expression system without any amino acid residues left on target protein thus become a hot topic in this field.Recombinant His-UlP1/pET3c/BL21(DE3)engineering strain was constructed by genetic engineering technology and the expression conditions were optimized in shake flaks.The process of high density fermentation was explored and different purification conditions were detected by chromatography.The results showed that SUMO protease could be expressed well after inducing the engineering strain by IPTG of 1.0mmol/L at 30℃ for 6 hours.The expression level of the strain in fermentation pots could reach 24.3% analyzed by SDS-PAGE.The purity of SUMO protease was more than 98% after further purification by cation exchange chromatography.The yield was 355mg SUMO protease per liter fermentation liquid.Western blot analysis demonstrated that there were immune reactions between IlP1 and 6?His antibodies,so it has established a good foundation for large-scale industralazation in the future.

Objective The autoantibodies against angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor(AT_1 RAb)have been dis- covered in the patients with malignant hypertensive and preeclampsia,this autoantiboies(AT_1-AA)have an ago- nist-like activity effect similar to angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ).This study aimed at investigation the effect of Ang Ⅱ agonist-like activity by AT_1-AA on VSMCs proliferation was obtained from essential hypertensive patients. Methods VSMCs were cultured from aorta of WKY rats.The hypertensive patients" serum was purified by am- monium sulfate precipitation and affinity chromatography.The effect on VSMC proliferation this autoantilody was determined by BrdU incorporation.Total protein and the expression of phosphorylation JAK-STAT were assessed by Western blotting.Results AT_1RAb caused a significant increase in BrdU incorporation similar to Ang Ⅱ during 0-24 h reaching peak value at 12 h.The A value of in 450 nm was higher in AT_1RAb group (0.236?0.012)than AG490+AT_1RAb group(0.176?0.009),Losartan+AT_1RAb groups(0.119?0.006) and Serum Free group(0.127?0.006)(P

Objective To observe the position and mobility of the tape after tension-free vaginal tape-obturator(TVT-O) surgery using transperineal two and three dimensional ultrasonography in patients with stress urinary incontinence.Methods A total of 32 patients with stress urinary incontinence who had TVT-O surgery and cured were enrolled.Transperineal two and three dimensional ultrasonography were performed after operation 3 months later.Both the position,morphology and mobility of the tape at rest and during Valsalva menuaver were observed.Results The tapes were mainly located in the 1/3 connection of the middle and distal urethra.The length of the urethra and the length of the urethra between the bladder neck and the proximal tape at valsalva menuaver were longer than those at rest.The tapes moved front-down at valsalva manuaver according to the mean distance between the tape and the symphysis pubis.The angles of the tapes were smaller at valsalva manuaver without significant difference.Conclusion It is useful to observe the position,morphology and mobility of the tape using transperineal two and three dimensional ultrasonography.The changes of the position and morphology of the tapes at valsalva menuaver were not significant.But the tapes can strengthen the urine control in the middle of urethra.

Objective To explore the relationship between lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) of lumbar spinal stenosis(LSS)and the dural sac cross-sectional area(DSCA)by MRI measurement. Methods 91 patients with central degenerative LSS were randomly selected and 91 age-and sex-matched people without LSS were select-ed as a control group. LDD was classified into five grades by MRI detection according to the method proposed by Pfirrmann and DSCA were measured. Results LDD was not associated with age in LSS. The proportion of severe degenerated disc in lower lumbar levels were higher than that of L2/3 in the two groups;DSCA in severe degenerat-ed disc group was significantly smaller than that in light degenerated group only in L2/3 and L3/4 in LSS. There were no statistical differences in every lumbar level in the control group. Conclusions LDD in L4/5 and L5/S1 of LSS is more severe than that of the normal people. DSCA and LDD are positively correlated in L2/3 and L3/4,but not in L4/5 and L5/S1 for LSS.
