The blood levels of hemoglobin(Hb), cerrulo-plasmin (Cp), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glu-tathion peroxidase (GSH-Px), malonaldehyde(MAD) and the concentrition of Cd, Fe, Cu andSe in liver were measured 4 weeks after weanedSprague-Dawley rats fed on Cd-supplemented diet(Cd 100mg/kg). The results indicated that. theconcentrition of Fe, Cu and Se in liver and theblood levels of Hb, SOD and GSH-Px activity weredecreased, but the blood level of MAD was in-creased by dietary Cd. The abnormal changes andanemia induced by Cd were able to be partially al-leviated by oral supplementing Fe, Cu and Se. Itsuggested. that Cd was able to produce peroxidationof erythrocyte membrane lipids. It is a possiblemechanism of the decreased survival of erythrocyteand hemolysis by Cd.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of anticancer activities of the extracts of prescription 921. Methods The inhibitory effects of the extracts of prescription 921 on DNA and RNA biosyntheses in cultured prostate PC-3M were investigated with 3H-TdR or 3H-UR incorporation. Flowcytometry was applied to analyze the regulating cell cycle of the extracts of prescription 921. The expression of cell cycle related factors CyclinA, CyclinB, p21 and p27 were detected by Western-blot. Results The extracts of prescription 921 showed inhibitory effect on DNA biosyntheses. The cells of PC-3M were arrested in S-phage when treated with the extracts for 72 h. The expression level of CyclinA was down-regulated while expression of CyclinB, p21 and p27 was not altered. Conclusion The extracts of prescription of 921 play its anticancer activities by inhibiting DNA biosyntheses and arresting the cells in S-phage by down-regulating the expression of Cyclin A.

Objective To investigate the possible association between HLA-B51 alleles and Behcet's disease (BD). Methods Totally, 61 Chinese patients of Han nationality, who were diagnosed with BD according to the International Study Group (ISG) criteria, were recruited. The control cohort consisted of 100 healthy individuals. Blood samples were obtained from all the subjects. PCR-sequenee specific primers (SSPs) were used to for the genotyping of HLA-B51 alleles (HLA-B5101-HLA-B5109). Results Com- pared with the control group (11 positive, 11% ), the frequency of HLA-B51 (18 positive, 29.5% ) was sig- nificantly increased in BD patients (χ2=8.79, P<0.01, RR=3.39). The HLA-B51-positive patients and controls consistently carried HLA-B5101 allele with no other alleles observed. There were 15 males and 3 females in HLA-B51 positive patients, 22 males and 21 females in HLA-B51-negative patients, and signifi- cant differences in gender distribution was observed between HLA-B51-positive and negative patients (P<0.05 ). Moreover, the average age of onset in HLA-B51-positive patients significantly differed from that in HLA-B51-negative patients (28.4±10 years vs 37.3±12 years, P<0.05). However, no significant differ- ences were noticed in the clinical types, course, skin lesions, prevalence of genital ulcer, eye damage, joint involvement, or pathergy reaction between HLA-B51-positive and -negative patients (P0.05). Conclu- sions This study supports that HLA-B5101 allele is associated not only with the development of BD, but also with the gender and onset age of patients with BD of Chinese Han nationality.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture at specific points in treating different degrees of urgency-frequency syndrome. Methods Sixty patients with urgency-frequency syndrome were randomly allocated, according to the symptom score, to groups A (the symptom score≤ 24) and B (the symptom score>24), 30 cases each. Both groups received electroacupuncture at specific points (four sacral points and four abdominal points). In the two groups, the symptoms were scored before and after treatment and the clinical therapeutic effects were evaluated.Results There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the symptom score in the two groups (P<0.01). The total efficacy rate was 83.3% in group A and 80.0% in group B; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture at specific points is an effective way to treat urgency-frequency syndrome.
