Objective To study the effect of human Slitrk1 gene on proliferation and differentiation of PC12 cells. Methods The CDS sequence of Slitrk1 was amplified by PCR, and then cloned into pcDNA4 vector. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA4/Slitrk1 were transfected into rat PC12 cells by lipofectamine. The stable expression cell clones were screened by RT-PCR. MTT method was used to detect the proliferation rate of PC12 cells. The morphologic changes in PC12 cells were observed microscopically. Results The stable cell lines expressing pcDNA4 (pcDNA4/PC12) and pcDNA4/Slitrk1 (ST1/PC12) were established. Compared to pcDNA4/PC12 cells, the growth rate of ST1/PC12 cells was decreased. In addition, pcDNA4/PC12 cells tend to grow as well as the normal PC12 cells. However, most of the ST1/PC12 cells adhered to the plate with one or two neurites. Conclusion Over-expression of human Slitrk1 gene inhibited the proliferation of PC12 cells and promoted the outgrowth of neurites. It is suggested that human Slitrk1 gene may be involved in differentiation of PC12 cells.

Tissue microarray is a special biologic microarray, which was invented on the base of cDNA microarray. The principle of the tissue microarray is arraying the tissue on the solid carrier according demand, then hybridizing, marking and dyeing, for researching the special expression of aimed gene or production among the different tissue. The application of tissue microarray is abroad, especially the determinant of tumor predisposing factor, the screening of the special gene and antibody, the earlier diagnosis, the therapy, and the judgment of prognosis. Compared with the traditional pathological investigation, tissue microarray has the behavior of small volume, high throughput (information), and design by different demand. Tissue microarray has important practical significance and broad market prospect in the investigation of the relation between the gene and disease (tumor), the verification of the associated gene of the disease, the development and screening of new drug, the molecular diagnosis of disease, the dynamic observation during therapy, and the judgment of prognosis.

Objective To examine the heating capability of thermoseeds in isolated hepatic tissues.Methods Isolated hepatic tissues were heated uniformly to 37 ℃,meanwhile the thermoseeds and thermocouples were planted using a template paralleling with the magnetic line.Afterwards,the tissues were treated in an extracorporeal magnetic field of 120-123 gauss at a frequency of 113-116 kHz for 30 minutes.At the meantime,the temperature was recorded by a computer through thermocouples. Results The temperature of the tissues raised markedly with a largest change of 14 ℃.The heating area became hard and showed a gradual change of color(white-yellow-brown).The final temperature was negatively correlated with distance when using same number of the thermoseeds(r=-0.96017 to-0.99767,P=0.0023 to 0.0398),and positively correlated with the number of thermoseeds when measuring at a same point(r=0.93775 to 0.99270,P=0.0007 to 0.0185)except for the center group(r=0.93936,P=0.0606).Conclusions Thermoseeds inductive heating technology can achieve an appropriate temperature in isolated hepatic tissues.In certain extent,the temperature increase the number of thermoseeds and heating distance.

Objective To study the relation of leptin,TNF-? in serum of patients with metabolic syndrome and its components.Methods Test leptin and TNF-? level of residents over 20 years old in two communities in Harbin City,grouping case-control study base on the constitutive ratio of actual age.Results Leptin was associated with obesity,and the higher leptin levels,the higher risk of suffering from metabolic syndrome.The relationship between leptin levels and metabolic syndrome was affected by age and gender.The lower level of TNF-?,the higher risk of metabolic syndrome.The patients with lower level of TNF-? were 1.859 times more likely to suffer from disease compared with people with higher level.Conclusion The effects of high level of leptin are significant on metabolic syndrome,especially for old males,and are associated with obesity component.TNF-? is related to plasma glucose and blood presure,and is good for metabolic syndrome,but its biological mechenism should be researched continuously.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of acute insulin resistance during surgical sepsis. Methods Forty surgical patients with sepsis in experimental group and twenty patients with similar APACHEⅡ but without sepsis in experimental control group were enrolled in our study. In the experimental group, the patients were categorized to sepsis group and septic shock and MODS(SM)group according to clinical manifestations, and were also grouped according to different causes of sepsis, i.e.severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)group, intestinal fistula group and other diseases group. Determinations of fasting blood glucose, fasting plasma insulin, clinical nutritional parameters, plasma TNF-α, APACHEⅡ, sepsis-related organ failure assessment(SOFA)and severe scores were simultaneously performed at designated time points. Insulin resistance index was calculated using homeostasis model assessment(HOMA)to assess insulin sensitivity of surgical patients with sepsis. Results (1)A significant elevation of lgHOMA-IR levels was found in 84% of tests in sepsis. Peak lgHOMA-IR values increased in all patients.(2)LgHOMA-IR was significantly higher in patients with sepsis than those without sepsis from the first 24 hours(1.22±0.23 vs 0.73±0.21, P<0.01)to the 7th day(0.46±0.32 vs 0.30±0.13, P<0.01).(3)There was no significant difference in lgHOMA-IR among SAP, intestinal fistula and other groups at different times(P>0.05).(4)There was significant difference in lgHOMA-IR between sepsis group and SM group during the whole septic episode(P<0.01).During the septic episode, there were significant correlation between lgHOMA-IR and APACHEⅡ(r=0.591, P<0.01), lgHOMA-IR and SOFA(r=0.496, P<0.01), lgHOMA-IR and SS(r=0.553, P<0.01), and lgHOMA-IR and TNF-α(r=0.658, P<0.01).(5)lgHOMA-IR was independently directly correlated with LDL, prealbumin, cholesterol and triglyceride. R2 of the equation was 0.188. Conclusion There usually is insulin resistance in surgical sepsis, regardless the primary diseases. Insulin resistance may simply be a marker reflecting an underlying physiological derangement, implying indicates higher mortality. Among several clinical nutrition parameters, LDL, prealbumin, cholesterol, and triglyceride showed closer relationship with insulin resistance in patients with sepsis.
