Insulin receptor substrate(IRS)-1 and IRS-2 expression levels of liver tissues and skeletal muscle in intrauterine growth retarded(IUGR)rats were investigated by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.An IUGR animal model was established by maternal nutrition restriction during pregnancy.IRS-2 expression level of liver tissue and IRS-1 expression level of skeletal muscle in IUGR rats at 0 and 3 weeks old were significantly lower than those in normal rats at the same age respectively,and insulin resistance was induced in IUGR,and these findings might be the molecular mechanisms susceptible to metabolic syndrome in IUGR rats.

Objective To observe the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) on anemia and erythropoietin (EPO) requirements in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods Ninety maintenance hemodialysis patients with hypertension and anemia were divided into 2 groups by random digits table, observation group (45 cases, using ACEI as antihypertensive treatment), control group [45 cases,using calcium channel blocker (CCB) as antihypertensive treatment]. The follow-up period after starting ACEI or CCB therapy was one year. The hemoglobin concentration, serum EPO, EPO requirements were compared after 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 months' treatment. Results In response to ACEI, the mean hemoglobin value in observation group decreased progressively, reaching statistical significance after 6 months, and it had significant difference compared with that in control group [6 months: (94.21±9.20) g/Lvs. (105.55±9.16) g/L,12 months: (95.90±6.75) g/L vs. (105.81±4.45) g/L,P <0.05]. The EPO requirements experienced a progressive increase in observation group and reached statistical significance after 8 months, compared with those in control group [8 months: ( 10 090.75±1918.35) U/week vs. (7010.32±1600.15) U/week, 12 months: (11 586.39±2009.76) U/week vs. (7068.48±1615.35) U/week,P<0.05].Serum erythropoietin concentration remained stable during the study in two groups. Conclusion ACEI can worsen anemia and reduce the efficacy of EPO in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

This paper reported a new method of Armillaria mellea isolation-Gastrodia elata tissue isolating. Compared with normal isolating method-rhizomorph isolating method, it showed that the success rate of new method (78% ) was higher than the rhizomorph isolating method (16% ) , besides this, the new method was easier, and growth characteristic of obtained strain was superior to that obtained from rhizomorph isolating method.

Objectives To investigate dynamic pathological features and virus distribution in the liver with a murine severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS)model injected with murine hepati- tis virus 3(MHV-3)through trachea.As a representative of host genes,mouse fgl2(mfgl2)pro- thrombinase gene expression and its clinical significance were discussed in SARS associated liver dam- ages.Methods The Balb/cJ mice were infected with 100 PFU of MHV-3 through trachea and Balb/ cJ mice injected with saline were served as control.Survival rate,pathological features in organs and liver function were observed.Virus titers in different organs were determined on monolayer of L2 cells by a standard plaque assay.Virus distribution and cellular localization were studied by in situ hy- bridization.Both mfgl2 and fibrin expressions were examined in the liver by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to investigate the role of mfgl2 in the liver impairment.Results Mice infected with MHV-3 through trachea developed multiple organs damages and died within 5 days,while all mice in control group survived with no histopathological changes.Infected liver tissues showed wide- spread cloudy swelling,prominent ballooning degeneration with mild lymphocytic infiltration in the portal area.Dot and zonal hepatocellular necrosis could be found occasionally.The lungs showed typi- cal interstitial pneumonia and hyaline membranes formation.Other histological changes also could be found in other organs examined.MHV-3 virus replication was identified in all organs observed.The liver function was injured,mfgl2 expression were evidenced mainly in the necrosis areas with fibrin deposition around the necrosis areas.Conclusions Pathological changes of the liver in this murine SARS model can mimic the liver impairment characteristics of SARS in human.In addition to the physical damage induced by the virus,the up-regulation of novel gene mfgl2 in the liver in association with fibrin deposition may play a vital role in the development of SARS associated liver damages.
