Objective To investigate the effect of glutaminase 1(GLS1)specific inhibitor BPTES[bis-2-（5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl）ethyl sulfide]on the liver fibrosis in the mouse model of liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4).Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with olive oil(control group),10%CCl4(10 μL/g,model group)or 10% CCl4(10 μL/g)+ BPTES(10 mg/kg,treatment group),with 10 mice in each group,two doses a week for four weeks to establish liver fibrosis model. Collagen deposition in mouse liver tissue was observed by Sirius red staining. The expression levels of actin alpha 2(Acta2),collagen typeⅠalpha 1(Col1a1)GLS1 and GLS1 protein were detected by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with the control group,the liver tissue of mice in the model group was generally enlarged,the surface was not smooth and granular,and the ratio of liver mass to tibia length significantly increased(t = 2. 979,P < 0. 05);The Sirius red positive area of collagen deposition increased signifi-cantly in the liver tissue of mice in the model group(t = 7. 661,P < 0. 01),the relative expression levels of Acta2 and Col1a1 significantly increased(t = 4. 335 and 5. 319,respectively,each P < 0. 01),and the mRNA and protein levels of GLS1 significantly increased(t = 5. 319 and 9. 725,respectively,each P < 0. 01). However,compared with the model group,the BPTES treatment group had a reduction in liver mass,a significant reduction in the Sirius red positive area of collagen deposition in liver tissue(t = 7. 427,P < 0. 01),and a significant reduction in the relative expressions of Atca2 and Col1a1(t = 3. 713 and 2. 628,respectively,each P < 0. 05).Conclusion Inhibition of GLS1activity can significantly improve the degree of liver fibrosis induced by CCl4,providing a new idea for the treatment of liver fibrosis.

This paper studied the relationship between apolipoprotein E isoforms and hyperlipidemia among 92 cases of diabetes mellitus, 174 cases with impaired glucose tolerance and 124 sex-age-matched controls. The results demonstrated that the patients with abnormal glucose tolerance had higher frequency of E2/3 isoforms and lower frequency of E, / , in com parison with controls. Hyperlipoproteinemia were mainly related to hyperglycemia but the Apo E isoforms which ex pressed different alleles also associated with hyperlipoproteinemia.

Objective To explore the effect of progesterone on the rate of neuronal apoptosis and nitric oxide(NO) level in the cortex and hippocampus tissue of newborn rats with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods Thirty 7-day-old neonatal rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham-operated group,hypoxic-ischemic(HI) group and pretreatment group.Rats in HI group and pretreatment group were subjected to left common carotid artery ligation,then were exposed to 80 mL/L oxygen and 920 mL/L nitrogen gas in 37 ℃ closed container for up to 2.5 h to establish HIE model.Progesterone was injected intraperitoneally into rats in the pretreatment group respectively for 30 minutes before hypoxia,and solution was injected into the sham-operated group and HI group.All rats were killed at 24 h after operation.The neuron apoptosis was identified and analyzed by flow cytometry.Nitrate/nitrite was assayed to represent nitric oxide content of brain tissues.Results The ratio of neuronal apoptosis and NO contents in cortex and hippocampus tissue in HI group [(10.09?0.36)%,(12.32?0.28)%,(51.36?9.71) ?mol/L,(52.34?4.26) ?mol/L] were significantly higher than those in sham-operated group [(2.49?0.23)%,(2.58?0.26)%,(18.16?6.24) ?mol/L,(19.28?3.58) ?mol/L)](P_a

The theory of human's full scale development is an important content of the Marxism theory.It is the need of human's full scale development theory to strengthen the humanism - Oriented Education of the medical students.Under the situation of constructing the new medicine education pattern,we should consider thoroughly the necessity of strengthening the humanism - Oriented Education of the medical students and discusses profoundly the effective way to strengthen the humanism - Oriented Education of the medical students,thus improve the humanities quality of the medical students in the essence.

Contemporary medical college students' misconducts are so serious that it is urgent to strengthen their behavior criterions consciousness,for example,the sense of rules of law,codes of ethics,school disciplines,medical norm.Schools should do more to strengthen consciousness,make an effort to the daily management,actively guide students to participate in social practice.

The effects of TRH and recombinant human IL-1? on cytosolic free calcium mobilization in rat GH, pituitary cells cultured in vitro was studied spectrofluorometrically using Fura-2 as Ga++ indicator. The results showed that TRH 10-7～10-9mol/L stimulated the cytosolic Ca++mobilization in a dose-dependent manner. IL-1 alone in the concentration ranging from 0.01 to 10 U/ml did not increase the intracellular Ca++ level. 1- and 3-minute pretreatment of the GH3 cells with IL-1? 0.1 U/ml significantly inhibited TRH-induced Ca++ mobilization, whereas such suppressive effects were significantly diminished when IL-1/3 and TRH were added at the same time. These findings suggest that Ca++ may signal a TRH effect in pituitary cells and IL-1? influences pituitary function by inhibiting Ca++ mobilization induced by TRH.
