Objective The purpose of this study was to research the expression of Twist in cervical cancer tissues and the relationship between its expression and clinicopathologic characteristic, and to investigate the role of twist in cervical cancer invasion, metastasis and progress. Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of the Twist in 78 cases of middle and advanced stages cervical cancer tissue microarray chip. The relationship between its expression and clinicopathological characteristic was analyzed. Results (1) The positive expression of twist in cervical cancer was 56/78 (71.8%);(2) The expression of Twist in cervical cancer was significantly related to tumor histology type, FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis and differentiation degree. With the increase of FIGO stage, the emergence of lymph node metastasis and the decrease of differentiation degree, the expression of Twist increased gradually ( <0.05) . Conclusion The expression of Twist may be closely related to the invasion, metastasis and progress of cervial cancer.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression of Nogo-A receptor (NgR) in the hippocampus following focal cerebral ischemia in rats.Methods The focal cerebral ischemia model was established by electrocoagulating the right middle cerebral artery in rats.The expression of NgR in the ischemic hippocampal CA1,CA2 and CA3 regions at different time points after cerebral ischemia were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results The expressions of NgR were up-regulated in hippocampal CA1 and CA2 regions at the first day,in the CA3 region at the second day after cerebral ischemia; the expressions of NgR in the CA1 and CA2 regions at the fifth day was decreased to the lowest.The expressions of NgR was up-regulated again in the CA1 and CA2 regions at the 28th day.Conclusions The NgR expression in the hippocampus in ischemic side showed different change characteristics at different regions,however,the overall change trend showed a 2 peaks and a valley phenomenon,which indicated that NgR might have different functions at different time periods after cerebral ischemia.

Objective To study some sensitive electrophysiological parameters in surveillance of allograft rejection.Methods Forty rats underwent heterotopic heart transplantations.IMEG was re- corded by an epicardiac unipolar pacing lead fixed at the right ventricular outflow tract.QRS amplitude and heart rate were determed daily in 10 syngeneic and 30 allogeneic transplants.Syngeneic transplants were killed at 7 th postoperative day,and allogeneic transplants killed at 3 rd,5 th and 7 th postopera- tive day.Histopathologie studies were performed at every transplanted heart.Results In syngeneic group,QRS amplitude kept constant after the transplantation while no significant differences were ob- served at the 3 rd,5 th and 7 th postoperative day.QRS amplitude was dropped obviously in allogeneic group after the first two postoperative days whereas significant differences were observed at the rejec- ting and non-rejecting hearts.Conclusions IMEG is a valid method to monitor acute allograft rejec- tion.QRS amplitude is a more sensitive electrophysiological parameter to diagnose severe rejections than heart rate,while mild rejections were not detected by this method.

Cytokines is a kind of important factor on Pathogenic of hysteromyoma.Some study provides evidence that sex homone and its product of metabolism react up regulation/down regulation for hysteromyoma by growth factor. Apoptosis and oncogene and retinoid X have influence to the growth of hysteromyoma.

Objective To investigate the insulin resistance and the changes of pancreaticβ-cell function in order to improve the clinical diagnosis and therapy .Methods 99 cases of pregnant women in the late ministers were randomly selected for the study and divided into three groups(normal glucose tolerance group ,impaired glucose tolerance group ,and gestational diabetes group) .The in-sulin resistance and isletβ-cell function of the three groups were evaluated by HOMA model and its related indicators .Results The blood pressure and blood lipid level was not significant different among the three groups(P>0 .05) .Pairwise comparisons of glu-cose infusion rate ,the first phase insulin secretion ,the second phase insulin secretion ,fasting glucose ,fasting insulin ,HOM A-IR , and HOMA-βwere made among the three groups ,and there were difference with statistical significance(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The situation of insulin resistance and the dysfunction of pancreaticβ-cell in trimester pregnant women would become bad associated with the abnormal glucose tolerance .

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of salvianolic acid B (SA-B) on portal hypertension induced by endothelin-1 in rats. METHODS: Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: ET-1 group, ET-1+SA-B group, ET-1+ET(A)R blocker (BQ-123) group and ET-1+ET(B)R blocker (BQ-788) group. The rats of ET-1+SA-B group underwent intragastrical administration of salvianolic acid B for five days before ET-1 injection, while in three other groups' drinking water was given. In BQ-123 group or BQ-788 group, an intravenous injection of BQ-123 or BQ-788 via femoral vein was administered 30 minutes prior to ET-1 injection. Then changes of portal pressure, cervical artery pressure and heart rate were monitored continuously. RESULTS: After ET-1 injection, the portal pressure of all rats in the ET-1 group increased significantly, while slightly in groups that pretreated with SA-B, BQ-123 or BQ-788. CONCLUSION: SA-B can attenuate the elevated portal pressure induced by ET-1 with effect similar to ETR blocker.

[Objective] This study was to investigate the effect of TMP on function of EPCs in normal or hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)inducing injury model cell culture,and to approach a therapy to coronary heart disease(CHD).[Method] Total mononuclear cells were isolated from the cord blood by ficoll density gradient centrifugation,cultured in vitro.After the cells cultured for 7 days,identified them by cellmarkers and the ability of intaking the ac-LDL,and made sure they were EPCs.To divide the cells into three groups,TMP(5,25,100,200mg),H2O2(500??)model and TMP together with H2O2,cultured for 24h and then detected the function and apoptosis of EPCs.[Result] Versus to control group,the TMP(5,25,100mg)groups had no important effect on the proliferation and adhesion of EPCs,but TMP(200mg)group had negative effect on EPCs.Versus to H2O2 model group,TMP(5,25,100mg)preincubated groups had important protective effect on EPCs in proliferation,adhesion and apoptosis.[Conclusion] TMP could protect EPCs from oxidative stress injury,but had little benefit to EPCs in normal incubation.

During the last decade a lot of new learning about asthma was arisen along with the development of modern immunology and molecular biology,and asthma had been one hotspot in the studies of molecular biological and administer medical field.One of the new viewpoints was that airway neurogenic inflammation took important role in asthma development.For years scholars had suspected that airborne pollutants had an synergistic effect on the attack of asthma and could cause asthma attack,but they did not know the molecular mechanism.In 1991 Denish scholar Nielsen GD advanced a new hypothesis that airway irritation was mediated by capsaicin receptor.The pathological process included a molecular chain of message transfer as air pollutants_capsaicin receptor_Ca2+_substance P_neurokinin receptor.Airway neurogenic inflammation was the result of activation of the receptors.In 1997 American scholar Caterina MJ and his colleagues successfully obtained the cloned capsaicin receptor in expressing cells,this will make Nielsen GD's hypothesis living.
