Objective:To establish a method for the determination of organic residues ( hexane, benzene, toluene, xylene and sty-rene) in macroporous adsorption resins. Methods:Headspace-GC with a DB-624 column was used to determine the residues in macro-porous resins. The inlet temperature was 200℃ and the FID detector temperature was 240℃. The column temperature programming was as follows:the initial temperature was 40℃, maintained for 3 min, and then raised to 200℃ with the rate of 14℃/min and kept for 2 min. The solvent was methyl alcohol and the carrier gas was nitrogen. HPLC was applied to determine the contents of the five resi-dues. Results:The contents of the five organic residues were all below 20‰ in five macroporous resins in common use including D101, HPD100, AB-8, DM301 and NKA-9. Conclusion:The method is simple,accurate and reproducible. It can be used in the res-idue determination of macroporous resins.

Objective The loss of NF2 gene in cutaneous schwannomas of neurofibromatosis type 2 patients was investigated in order to explore the tumorigenesis and characteristics of NF2 tumor suppressor gene, and to provide evidence for presymptomatic gene diagnosis for NF2 patients. Methods DNA was extracted from whole blood and frozen tumor tissue, respectively. Genotyping was performed using 6 microsatellite markers flanking or within the NF2 gene: CRYB2- D22S193- NF2CA1- NF2CA3- D22S268- D22S430, which is tightly linked to the NF2 gene and analyzed on an ABI Genetic Analyzer 310 after PCR amplification. Results A total of 18,14,0,13,16,12 samples showed loss of heterozygosity at microsatellite markers CRYB2, D22S193, NF2CA1, NF2CA3, D22S268, D22S430 in 43 samples of cutaneous schwannomas, respectively. Conclusions The method for detection of NF2 allelic loss was established. Frequent allelic loss reconfirms that NF2 gene is a tumor suppressor gene. The observation that tumors with or without allelic loss of the NF2 gene exist in the same patient indicates that these tumors are originated from different clones in which genetic alterations occurred independently.

OBJECTlVE To investigate the myocardiaI toxicity of doxorubicin on the myocardium of rabbits and mechanism. METHODS Doxorubicin 2 mg·kg-1 was injected once a week for eight weeks. After discontinuation of doxorubicin,observation was performed for another 8 weeks. Every weekend, uItrasound examination,cardiac catheterization,angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)Western bIotting and pathoIogi-caI examination were performed to anaIyze eject fraction( EF),maximaI rate of rise of Ieft ventricuIar pressure(+dp/ dtmax ),AngⅡexpression IeveI,apoptosis index(AI)and the structure of the myocardium. RESULTS At the 7th injection,EF decreased( P ﹤0.05),but reached the bottom vaIue at the 8th injection. At the 3rd injection,Ieft ventricuIar +dp/ dtmax decreased( P ﹤0.05)and reached the bottom vaIue one week after withdrawaI. After that,it increased and reached a high vaIue six weeks after withd-rowaI. But it was stiII Iower than before administration. At the 2nd injection,AngⅡ expression increased (P﹤0.05). At 1 week after withdrawaI,it reached the top vaIue,but than decreased and reached a Iow vaIue six weeks after withdrowaI,but was stiII higher than before administration. At the 1st injection,AI increased( P ﹤ 0.05). At 1 week after withdrawaI,it reached the top vaIue,but then decreased and reached a Iow vaIue 5 weeks after withdrawaI. But it was stiII higher than before administration. CONCLUSlON Doxorubicin cardiac toxicity can induce an eIevated IeveI of myocardiaI AngⅡ,possibIy associated with increased aIdosterone and myocardiaI tension. Increased Ang Ⅱ may induce further myocardiaI structuraI damage and ventricuIar remodeIing through the ROS and caIcium imbaIance.

Objective To investigate the role of RhoA-Rock signaling pathway in the process of rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs) epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1). Methods Primary RPMCs were cultured in vitro. After synchronization for 24 hours, RPMCs were randomly assigned to 4 groups: group A (control), group B (TGF-β1, 10 μg/L), group C (10 μg/L TGF-β1+10 μmol/L Y-27632, an inhibitor of Rock, pretreated for 2 hours with Y-27632 before TGF-β1 stimulation), group D (Y-27632 alone, 10 μmol/L). Growth arrested and synchronized RPMCs were stimulated by 10 μg/L TGF-β1 for different time. The mRNA and protein expression levels of E-eadherin, α-SMA and collagen Ⅰ were measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively. The protein expression level of vimentin was measured by Western blotting. Active RhoA was extracted by Plasma Membrane Protein Extraction Kit, then it was assessed by Western blotting. Results (1) TGF-β1 stimulation elicited a robust increase in RhoA activity in time-dependent manner, which was (2.57±0.52) folds compared with control group (P<0.05) after 10 min stimulation. RhoA activity peaked at 1 hour, which was (4.35±0.41) folds compared with control group (P<0.05). (2) TGF-β1 up-regulated mRNA and/or protein expression of α-SMA, vimentin and collagen Ⅰ , and down-regnlated mRNA and protein expression of E-cadherin in RPMCs. (3) The Rock inhibitor Y-27632 effectively revered TGF-β1-induced expression of α-SMA, collagen Ⅰ and vimentin. The mRNA levels of α-SMA and collagen Ⅰ decreased by 53.8% and 55.7%, and the protein levels of α-SMA, vimentin and collagen Ⅰ decreased by 42.6%, 60.1% and 58.1% compared with TGF-β1-stimulated groups (P< 0.05). But Y-27632 had no effect on the level of E-cadherin. Conclusions RhoA-Bock signaling pathway may mediate EMT induced by TGF-β1 in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells. RhoA-Rock pathway may be the potential therapeutic target in the progress of peritoneal fibrosis.
