Objective Our study aimed at the role of p27 on the hypertrophy of mesangial cell (MC) cultured in high glucose. Methods The p27 protein of MC lysate was detected with western blotting analysis. The degree of cultured MC hypertrophy was estimated through [3H]-thymidine incorporation and [3H]-leucine incorporation. The effect of reducing p27 expression on cell hypertrophy was analysed with p27 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) phosphorothioate. Results in MC cultured in high glucose (450mg/dl) serum-free DMEM compared with MC cultured in normal glucose (100mg/dl) serum-free DMEM, p27 increased, [3H]-leucine incorporation increased and[3H]-thymidine incorporation decreased;p27 antisense ODN transfection reduced [3H]leucine incorporation, increased [3H] thymidine incorporation of MC cultured in high glucose senumfree DMEM. Increasing medium osmolarity with D-mannitol failed to induce p27 expression of MC. Conclusion p27 protein increased in MC cultured in high glucose. High level of p27 played an important role in MC hypertrophy induced by high glucose. Because the cell cycle is controlled by the interaction between the positive cell cycle regulatory proteins(CCRP) and negative CCRP, further research is needed to study the expression of the positive and negative CCRP in MC in order to better understand the role of CCRP in MC hypertrophy.

Objective To analyze effect of oxycodone hydrochloride injection preemptive analgesia on serum cellular immune factors and analgesic effect in postoperative patients with humeral fracture surgery.Methods 52 patients treated by surgical treatment of humeral fractures in our hospital were collected.All patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,26 cases in each group.Preemptive analgesia drugs were given corresponding, before and 24h after surgery, the serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), venous blood CD4 +T, CD8 +T cells and CD4 +/CD8 + T levels and analgesic effect were detected in all patients.Results After surgery, compared with control group, the serum levels of TNF-αand IL-6 were lower in experimental group (P<0.05); the venous blood CD4 +T cell and CD4 +/CD8 + T levels were higher(P<0.05), CD8 +T cell level was lower in experimental group (P<0.05);the visual analogue scale(VAS) score was significantly lower in 2,4,6,12 and 24h after surgery in experimental group (P<0.05).Conclusions The oxycodone hydrochloride injection preemptive analgesia can significantly inhibit the increase of the serum TNF-αand IL-6 levels, prevent the decrease of immune function, improve the analgesic effect.

To study the apoptotic regularity of peripheral lymphocytes in radiation compound wound healing and explore their relationship to radiation delayed wound healing, apoptosis and Bax and Bcl 2 proteins were estimated by in situ terminal labeling (TUNEL) and immunohistochemical method of alkaline phosphatase, respectively. White blood cells in radiation compound wound(RW) group decreased and reached the lowest 3 days after wound, it was still lower in RW group than in simple wound(SW) group 5 days after wound; apoptosis of peripheral lymphocytes of both groups increased, however, the lymphocyte apoptosis in RW group was higher than that in SW from beginning to end in the whole process of wound healing; the expression of Bax protein of lymphocyte increased at different times after wound, and the expression in RW group was obviously higher than that in SW group, while Bcl 2 showed an opposite tendency. It is suggested that reduction of white blood cells and increment of lymphocyte apoptosis are the major causes of radiation delayed wound healing; Bax and Bcl 2 proteins take part in the regulation of lymphocyte apoptosis in wound healing.

Objective: To investigate the role of cyclin kinase inhibitor P27 on the proliferation of mesangial cell(MC) in Thy1 glomerulonephritis(GN) rats. Methods: The Thy1 model of experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis was induced by intravenous injection of rabbit anti-thymocyte plasma. The P27 protein of glomerular lysate was detected with Western blotting analysis. The P27 mRNA was determined with RT-PCR. The extracellular matrix (ECM) protein (fibronectin and type Ⅳ collagen) of glomerular lysate was examined with ELISA. Results: Glomerular P27 protein of Thy1 model rat decreased compared with that of normal rat. The level of P27 was associated with the degree of MC proliferation:P27 began to decrease on day 1 in Thy1 model, then reached the lowest on day 3 when MC proliferation was maximal, then returned to 60% of the baseline level on day 5 when MC proliferation began to resolute. Glomeruar P27 mRNA remained constant in Thy1 GN(3 d) rats. Glomerular fibronectin(Fn) and type Ⅳ collagen increased in Thy1 model: They reached the highest on day 3(P

Objective To investigate the function of serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the formation of cerebral edema after acute cerebral infarction through dynamic changes of serum IL-6 and MRI indicators.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight patients with cerebral edema after acute cerebral infarction and 30 healthy were selected as our subjects.The serum IL-6 were measured in at 1,5 and 14 d after acute cerebral infarction.MRI scans were performed in the corresponding time,and then processed synthesis of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) graph.Cerebral infarction volume,signal intensity ratio (SIR) of each sequence and relative apparent diffusion coefficient(rADC) were measured and calculated.Results The serum IL-6 in patients with acute cerebral infarction at 1 d after cerebral infarction was significantly higher than that in normal control group and reached the peak level at 5th D after cerebral infarction,significantly decreased at 14th d.The serum IL-6 of each time point were significantly higher than that of normal control group(P =0.000).There were liner positive correlation between the serum IL-6 and the volume of cerebral infarction and SIR of T2 weighted image and fluid attenuation inversion recovery (r =0.750,0.621,0.691 ; P =0.000).The serum of IL-6 and SIR of T1 weighted image was showed negative correlation (r =-0.404,P =0.000).The serum of IL-6 and SIR of diffusion-weighted imaging sequence at 1,5 d after cerebral infarction showed a positive correlation (r =0.678,P =0.000).There was liner negative correlation between the serum IL-6 and rADC at 1 d after cerebral infarction (r =-0.826,P =0.000).Conclusion The rise of serum IL-6 may promote the formation and development of ischemic cerebral edema.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of p27 in the inhibition of emodin on the mesangial cell (MC) proliferation induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-alpha). METHODS: p27 protein of MC was detected with western blotting analysis. The degree of MC proliferation was estimated through [(3)H] thymidine ([(3)H] TdR) incorporation. Different dosage of emodin (50 mg/L,100 mg/L) was added into MC stimulated by TNF-alpha. RESULTS: TNF-alpha (200 kU/L) decreased p27 level of MC cultured in serum-free DMEM for 24 hours and increased[(3)H] TdR incorporation. Emodin increased p27 level of MC stimulated by TNF-alpha and decreased [(3)H] TdR incorporation. The more the emodin was added, the greater the above-mentioned effect of emodin. CONCLUSION: The increment of p27 level maybe play an important role in the inhibition of emodin on MC proliferation induced by TNF-alpha.

Aim To investigate the preventive effect of Polygonum Multiflorum (PM)on the deteriorated mi-cro-structure and biomechanical properties induced by prednisone.Methods Ninety 6-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into nine groups,which were control,prednisone,CAL,30%ethanol eluent of the PM(H,M,L),PM(H,M,L). Prednisone was gavaged to rat for 21 weeks as model group of osteoporosis.Meanwhile,tested herbal ab-stract were orally administrated to the modeled rats in-duced by prednisone.At the end of the experiment, the right femur was collected for micro-CT scanning, three-dimensional reconstruction and biomechanical test.Results Compared with the control group,mod-el group showed destruction of bone microarchitecture, BV /TV fell 28.6%(P <0.05),bone biomechanical parameters decreases,and stiffness fell 29.7%(P <0.01 ). Compared with the model group, positive group had significantly improved effect on bone micro-architecture,and biomechanical parameters,BV /TV increased 46.7%(P <0.01 ),and stiffness increased 25.9%(P <0.01 ).30% ethanol eluent of the PM (M,L)dose may improve bone microstructure by in-creasing BV /TV 46.7% (P <0.01 ),40.0% (P <0.05)respectively,PM(H)may improve the biome-chanical parameters by increasing stiffness 24.7%(P<0.05),and 30% ethanol eluent of the PM(H)and PMhigh-dose may improve the biomechanical parame-ters,but not as positive group.Conclusions Predni-sone reduces biomechanical properties of rat femur and deteriorates femoral microstructure.30% ethanol eluent of the PM(M,L)and PM(H)plays a preventive role in the changes of micro-structural and biomechanical properties by prednisone,and increases BMD,whereas other groups have no significant preventive effect.

Objective To analyze the prognostic value of age in patients with early stage breast cancer. Methods The clinical characteristics of 1030 patients with early stage breast cancer (the number of positive axillary lymph nodes was less than 3) were retrospectively reviewed. Of all the patients, 468(stage Ⅰ, n = 227; and stage Ⅱ , n = 241) received breast conserving surgery (BCS) and 562 (stage Ⅰ, n =184; and stage Ⅱ, n= 378) received modified mastectomy. Patients were divided into young-age group (≤35,136 patients), middle-age group (> 35-≤60,738 patients) and old-age group (> 60,156 patients).The number of patients without postoperative radiation therapy after BCS is 16, 60 and 39 in the three groups, respectively. Two-dimensional conventional fractionated radiotherapy was administered. The prognostic value of the tumor size, status of axillary lymph nodes or hormonal receptors, postoperative radiation therapy were analyzed. Results The follow-up rate was 97.86%. Of 795 patients followed up more than 5 years, 110,569 and 116 patients were devided into the three groups, respectively. There were 40, 202 and 87 patients without radiation therapy in the three groups. The 5-year recurrence rates of the three groups were 6. 2%, 8. 7% and 10. 4% (χ2 = 1.14, P= 0.567). The 5-year distant metastasis rates were4.3% , 9.5 % and2. 5% (χ2 = 5.31 , P = 0. 070) . The5 - year survival rates were9l. 2% , 92. 6%and 82. 1% (χ2 = 6. 83, P = 0.033). The young-age group had more tumors smaller than 2. 0 cm (65.4%), less positive axillary lymph nodes (13.2%), poorer differential tumor and less positive hormone acceptors (48.0%). Of patients with tumor larger than 2. 0 cm who had no radiotherapy after BCS, the 5-year survival rates were 94%, 87% and 71% (χ2= 20.69, P= 0.000) in the three groups. The corresponding recurrence rates were 23%, 18% ,7%, (χ2 = 9. 97, P = 0. 007), and distant metastasis rates were23%, 25% and 10% (χ2 =8.51, P=0. 014). Conclusions The age is an important prognostic factor in patients with early stage breast cancer undergoing BCS, but not in those undergoing modified mastectomy.
