Objective To investigate the.expression and significance of peritoneal fluid (PF) erythropoietin (EPO) and neutrophils activation peptide-78 (ENA-78)in patients with endometriosis.Methods The levels of EPO and ENA-78 in peritoneal fluid (PF) were measured by means of enzymelinked immunosobent assay (ELISA) in 30 women with endometriosis (9 in Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ stage,21 in Ⅲ～ Ⅳ stage)and 30 without endometriosis.And the relationship between the PF levels of EPO and ENA-78 in patients with endometriosis was analyzed.Results The PF levels of EPO and ENA-78 in women with endometriosis [ (9.272 ± 2.284 ) IU/L,( 2.068 ± 0.794 ) ng/ml ] were significantly higher than those in control group [ (5.759 ±0.502) IU/L,(0.886 ±0.145 ) ng/ml,P ＜0.05].There were no significant differences in the PF levels of EPO between stage Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ [ (9.549 ± 1.996) IU/L] and Ⅲ ～ Ⅳ [ (9.181 ± 1.897) IU/L,P ＞0.05].The ENA-78 concentrations of PF in stage Ⅲ～ Ⅳ [ (2.517 ± 0.518 )ng/ml] were significantly higher than those in stage Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ[ ( 1.137 ±0.169)ng/ml,P ＜0.05].There were no obvious correlations in PF EPO and ENA-78 in patients with endometriosis.Conclusions The excessive expression of EPO and ENA-78 in the PF of women with endometriosis suggests that EPO and ENA-78 may be an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Objective To explore the sub-health and TCM physical constitution of stroke patients’families.Method Four hundred and twelve family members of stroke patients hospitalized during September 2001 to May 2013 were involved in the survey by filling out TCM physical constitution scale(TCMPC)and the sub-health self-rating scale(SSS)for the purpose of investigating the sub-health and conditions of TCM physical constitution.Results Of all the patients,189 were in sub-health,accounting for 45.87%. There were 7 main clinical symptoms related to sub-health,including poor sleep,less activeness,proneness to upsets and irritation, memory loss,depression,tension in interpersonal relations and appetite loss,with the incidences ranging from 64.55%to 48.15%. In TCM,51.85%of the family members were balanced in physical constitution,10.58%of them had Yang-deficiency constitution, 14.29%of them had Yin-deficiency,23.28%of them other kind of constitution.Conclusions The family members of stroke patients have a high rate of sub-health.The members in sub-health hold a balanced constitution,Yang-deficiency or Yin deficiency.In order to eliminate their sub-health,improving the quality of care for patients with stroke,we should guide the families of stroke patients to develop good living habits,strengthen the TCM mental nursing,help them to establish a good social support system.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of prostaglandin E1 lipid drug-loaded microcapsules(Lipo PGE1) on the earlier diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS: 72 cases with early DN were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. The control group were assigned to receive routine hypoglycemic agent,blood pressure controlling, and symptomatic treatment, while the treatment group were given another drip infusion of Lipo PGE1 20ug plus NS100ml q.d besides the routine therapy as in the control group. Both groups received 3 weeks’ course of treatment. The changes of urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER), urinary transferrin(TRF), urinary microglobulin(?1MG)and so on in the 24h urine of the 2 groups before and after treatment were observed.RESULTS: There was great decrease in UAER, TRF and ?1MG in the 24h urine in the treatment group after treatment(P

Objective To study the effects of calaium channel blocker(CCB) on c-fos expression and nervous function following peripheral nerve injury.Methods Sciatic nerve was crushed with pincers to make the models of sciatic nerve crush injury in rats.The model rats were administered with Flunarizine 1 mg/kg(low dose group),2 mg/kg(high dose group) and normal saline 10 ml/kg(model group) via intraperitoneal injection.The c-fos positive cells at 1st and 4th week and nerve conduction velocity of sciatic nerve,distance between right behind toes were examined at 4th week respectively by immunohistochemical,behavior and electrophysiologic techniques.The results were compared with normal rats.Results(1) The c-fos positive cells were higher significantly in model and Flunarizine low dose groups compared with normal control group(all P0.05).Conclusion The c-fos expression following peripheral nerve injury can be reduced by CCB,which has the protective effect on the damaged peripheral nerve function.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Serum BNP and heart failure in patients un-dergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis ( MPD) .Methods 80 uremia patients who underwent MPD and 40 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study.In the morning of treatment, we assessed their cardiac function according to in-terrogation, physical examination, chest X-ray and echocardiography while detecting BNP, Scr, BUN levels in the fasting venous serum of upper extremity.Results 80 MPD patients were divided into 2 groups:a heart failure group (Group A, n=42) and a normal cardiac function group (Group B, n=38).40 healthy volunteers served as a con-trol group ( Group C ) .There were no significant differences in age, weight and sex ratio among 3 groups ( P>0.05).The time period of maintenance peritoneal dialysis in Group A and B was similar (P>0.05).Compared with Group C, the levels of Serum BNP, Scr and BUN were significantly higher in Group A and B( P<0.05) .There were no significant differences of Scr and BUN between Groups A and B ( P>0.05) .The level of Serum BNP was signifi-cantly higher in Group A than that in Group B (P<0.05).Conclusion The level of Serum BNP may be closely re-lated to the cardiac function and it may be used as a predictor for heart failure in MPD patients.

Aim To construct human phage single-chain antibody library associated with esophageal cancer and to screen the specific scFv against Eca109 cells from the liberary. Methods Metastatic periesophageal lymph nodes of esophageal cancer patients were used as the B cells source, the total RNA of these B cells was extracted and prepared as the template of RT-PCR. First, we screened graticulely two pairs of primers of the heavy and light regions separately, then the V_H and V_L fragments were first amplified from the cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Second, the V_H-linker and V_L-linker were amplified from the V_H and V_L fragments. Last, the V_H-linker and V_L-linker were assembled into scFv gene fragments by SOE-PCR,and then Sfi I and Not I restriction site were inlet in it. ScFv gene was cloned into the pCANTAB-5E phagemid. Phagemids were introduced into E.coli TG1 by electrotransformation, followed by rescue of antibody-expressing phage using M13K07 helper-phage superinfection. Recombinant scFv phage library was constracted and PCR was used to identify the insert ratio of scFv antibodies library. Results of SfiI/Not I double digestion reaction positive insert clone were identified by 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis. The phage library was panned with NHEEC and Eca109 cancer cells in suspension for four rounds. Strongly positive recombinant phage clones were used to infect E.coli HB2151. Expression of soluble scFv was induced by IPTG. Soluble scFv from periplasm were purified by affinity chromatography and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Cell ELISA , immunohistochemical staining and immunocytochemical staining were used to identify the activity of the soluble scFv. Results The result of agarose gel electrophoresis showed that total RNA of these B cells had two bands of 28 S and 18 S. The size of V_H fragment is about 450 bp,V_L fragment is about 350 bp and scFv is about 850 bp. The competence is 108 cfu??g-1 pUC18 DNA. Randomly digestive reac-tion showed that the positive insert ratio was 91.7% (22/24). After four rounds of panning, the fourth phage yield is 141 times as much as that of the first one. SDS-PAGE and Western blot showed that the MW of the soluble scFv was about 30 ku and the brand of 30 ku was stained. Immunohistochemical staining showed strong stainning of the tissue of esophageal cancer, but not the liver and gastric cancer tissue. Immunocytochemical staining showed significant staining of the esophageal cancer line Eca109. The result of cell ELISA assay revealed that soluble scFv had highly specific and could combined with Eca109 cells, but not with BGC-823 and NHEEC. Conclusion A human scFv phage display library associated with esophageal cancer has been constructed successfully and the specific scFv antibody against Eca109 has been identified from the liberary.
