OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy of Jiakangling Capsule (JC) combined with reduction of 1311 in treatment of Graves hyperthyroidism.

METHODSTotally 387 Graves hyperthyroidism patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (200 cases) and the control group (187 cases). Patients in the treatment group took JC combined with reduction of 131I. The 131I dosage per gram of thyroid tissue was 50-80 microCi. They additionally took JC one week after taking 1311 for one consecutive month. Patients in the control group took 131 routinely as one disposable treatment. The 131I dosage per gram of thyroid tissue was 70-120 microCi, without using JC or other anti-thyroid drugs. All patients were reexamined after 24-month treatment. Whether hyperthyroidism was cured, incurred, or permanent was observed. Efficacies of thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) and thyroid microsome antibody (TMAb) were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the incurred ratio increased in the treatment group [3.2% (6/187) vs. 16.0% (32/200), P < 0.01], the incurred ratio of strong positive TGAb and TMAb patients increased [3.5% (2/57) vs. 27.1% (16/59), P < 0.01], the permanent hypothyroidism ratio decreased [21.1% (12/57) vs. 3.4% (2/59), P < 0.05 ].

CONCLUSIONJC combined with reduction of 1311 was superior in treating Graves hyperthyroidism induced permanent hypothyroidism than routine 1311 treatment, especially for strong positive TGAb and TMAb patients.

Objective To study the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in artery tissue under different calcification environments.Methods We made a vascular calcification model using warfarin,vitamin K1 and vitamin D3.After the model was successfully made,we took artery tissue of normal SD rat arteries and calcified arteries co-cultured with MSC,which were divided into three groups.The normal group included normal artery tissue with MSC; calcified inducers group included calcified inducers (dexamethasone with β-glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid),normal arterial tissue and MSC; calcification group included calcified artery tissue and MSC.Each group was cultured for 3 weeks.On the 10th day of the experiment,osteoprotegerin (OPG) protein secretion was detected by ELISA.After three weeks,changes of cell morphology were observed using inverted microscope,and total protein content and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were detected by ELISA.In additional,the Ror2 (receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2) mRNA expression was detected by using RT-PCR method.Results MSC in calcification group spontaneously proliferated and differentiated to osteoblast-like cells.Compared with normal group,calcification group showed that the total protein content,ALP activity of bone metabolism markers,OPG were significantly elevated,while Ror2 mRNA expression was significantly decreased.MSCs in calcified inducers group did not differentiate to osteoblast-like cells,and the total protein content and OPG were increased,while ALP activity had no significant difference as compared with the normal group.However,Ror2 mRNA expression was lower in calcified inducers group than in normal group,while was higher than that in calcification group.Conclusions MSCs proliferate into bone-like differentiation in vascular calcification environment and aggravate the vascular calcification.And in normal vascular with calcified inducers environment,MSCs proliferate into smooth muscle cell differentiation and rehabilitate the vascular calcification.These phenomenons may be related to the Ror2 expression in artery.

Objective To obtain the Tat-GFP fusion proteins with penetrating activity and labeled with green fluorescence protein (GFP), and to explore the cell membrane penetrating activity of Tat-GFP in MCF-7 cells. Methods The plasmid pET-24a-Tat-GFP was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 cells. Different concentrations (0.5 and 1.0 mmol · L-1 ) of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG ) and cell culture temperatures (22℃ and 37℃)were used to optimize the protein expression.The Tat-GFP proteins in supernatant were purified using Ni-IDA resins. Western blotting analysis was used to identify the Tat-GFP protein, and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM ) was used to examine the cell penetration of Tat-GFP protein. Results There was no significant difference in the Tat-GFP protein production induced by 0.5 and 1.0 mmol·L-1 IPTG;however,the low temperature (22℃)-induced BL21 cells expressed more Tat-GFP proteins than that at 37℃ induction.The Western blotting analysis results showed that GFP antibody could specifically recognize the proteins in PVDF membranes in dose-dependent manner;the CLSM results indicated the distribution of green fluorescence in cytoplasm and nucleus of MCF-7 cells.Conclusion The Tat-GFP protein highly expresses in the supenatant of Escherichia coli i BL2 1 cells at low temperature;the obtained Tat-GFP protein with green fluorescence preserves the cell penetrating activity.
