A near infrared (NIR) method for the detection of illegal addition of sildenafil citrate in capsules of Chinese traditional medicine was constructed. The diffuse reflectance near infrared spectra were recorded using integrated sphere and fiber optics respectively. Using the spectra of the sildenafil citrate standard as Reference spectra, the threshold of the correlation coefficient was set up based on the minimum effective concentration of the sildenafil citrate. By comparing the threshold with the correlation coefficient between the tested spectra and the Reference spectra in the selected spectral range, the tested sample contains sildenafil citrate is determined. For the integrated sphere method, the spectral range of 6070-5800 cm~(-1) and 4170-4070 cm~(-1) were selected, and 70% was set as threshold. For the fiber method, 6070-5800 cm~(-1) and 65% were used. 79 and 247 batches of the Chinese traditional medicines contained sildenafil citrate collected from the Chinese market were used to validate the two methods separately. The accuracy of the integrated sphere method was 91.14%, and that of f iber method was 87.45%.

Background The primary pathologic mechanism of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is proliferation,migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of residuary lens epithelial cells (LECs) after cataract extract surgery.Researches showed that MG132,a proteasome inhibitor,can attenuate the proliferation of bovine LECs,but its effect on human LECs remains unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of MG132 on proliferation,migration and differentiation of human LECs in vitro.Methods Human lens capsule were collected during the surgery.Human LECs were primarily cultured by explant method and passaged.The second or third generation of cells were incubated to 96-well plates at the density of 5×105/ml (200 μl/well) for 24 hours.Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2,10 mg/L),MG132 (10 μmol/L) or MG132+FGF-2 was added into the culture medium for 24 hours separately,and regular cultured cells served as the control group.The proliferation value (absorbance,A490) of the cells was assayed by MTT colorimetric method.A bare area was made by a sterile cotton swab in the cell layer,and migrated cell number in the blank zone was counted to evaluate the migration ability of the cells after 24 hours.Transforming growth factor-32(TGF-β2),MG132 or MG132+TGF-β2 was added into the culture medium for 24 hours separately,and the expression of fibronectin (FN) in the cells was detected using immunochemistry.Results The proliferation values (A490) of the cells were 0.582±0.020,0.723±0.010,0.434± 0.011 and 0.465±0.008 in the control group,FGF-2 group,MG132 group and MG132 + FGF-2 group,respectively,showing a significant difference among the groups (F =110.482,P<0.01).The A value was significantly higher in the FGF-2 group and lower in the MG132 group and MG132+FGF-2 group than that of the control group (all at P< 0.05).The migrated cell number was 8.67 ± 1.08,11.58 ± 1.59,2.67 ± 0.09 and 2.75 ± 0.09 in the control group,FGF-2 group,MG132 group and MG132+FGF-2 group,respectively,with a significant difference among the groups (F=34.301,P<0.01),and more cells in the blank zone were seen in the FGF-2 group and less cells were in the MG132 group and MG132+FGF-2 group in comparison with the control group (all at P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the proliferative rate and migrating rate of the cells declined by 25.4% and 75.0% in the MG132 group as well as 20.1% and 68.3% in the MG132+FGF-2 group,but in the FGF-2 group,they increased by 24.2% and 33.6%.The expressing levels (A value) of FN in the LECs were 1.242±0.023,2.329±0.113,1.043 ±0.021 and 1.163±0.018 in the control group,TGF-β2 group,MG132 group and MG132 +TGF-β2 group,respectively,with a significant difference among the groups (F =113.752,P<0.01),a considerably increased expressing value was seen in the TGF-β2 group and decreased value was in the MG132 group and MG132+TGF-β2 group when compared with the control group (all at P<0.05).Conclusions MG132 can effectively inhibit the proliferation,migration and differentiation of human LECs in vitro.

Objective To explore relationships of expression of hypoxia?inducible factor?1α(HIF?1α), vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and protein kinase B(P?Akt)with angiopoiesis and cell apoptosis. Methods Biopsy specimens were collected from skin lesions of 32 patients with lichen planus and normal skin of 20 patients with lipomyoma, and subjected to paraffin embedding. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to measure expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt, and TUNEL technique was used to detect apoptosis of keratinocytes in these paraffin?embedded tissue sections. Microvessel density (MVD)was assessed by counting CD34?labeled vascular endothelial cells. Results HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt were moderately or strongly expressed in lichen planus lesions, but absent or weakly expressed in normal skin of controls, and the expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt was significantly higher in the lichen planus group than in the control group (all P < 0.01). HIF?1α was mainly expressed in nuclei of keratinocytes, while VEGF and P?Akt were expressed in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes. In addition, the lichen planus group showed significantly increased MVD(21.27 ± 6.54 vs. 10.26 ± 1.10 microvessels/high?power(200 ×)field, t = 5.607, P < 0.01)and apoptosis rate of keratinocytes(72.81% ± 9.234% vs. 28.16% ± 3.464%, t = 8.431, P < 0.01) compared with the control group. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlations between HIF?1αand VEGF expression, between VEGF and P?Akt expression, and between P?Akt and HIF?1αexpression in the lichen planus group(r=0.625, 0.453, 0.455, respectively, all P<0.01), and expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt was all positively correlated with MVD(r=0.721, 0.646, 0.671, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusion HIF?1αand its downstream target genes VEGF and P?Akt may play a certain role in the occurrence of lichen planus.

Objective To study the concentration alteration of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with primary and secondary glomerular diseases (GD), the effect of immune inhibitors on the concentration, and analyze the relationship between VEGF concentration and some clinical indexes. Methods Serum VEGF concentration of GD patients was determined by sandwich ABC-ELISA. Results All of the GD patients had higher level of serum VEGF than the control group. Of the 5 groups divided according to the clinical classification, patients of chronic glomerulonephritis(CGN) group, latent glomerulonephritis(LGN) group, Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN) group and lupus nephritis(LN) group had higher serum VEGF level than the control group, respectively, with no difference among the above groups. The patients without taking immune inhibitors had higher serum VEGF level than the control group,while no difference was observed between the patients taking immune inhibitors and the control group.Patients with glomerulonephritis had a significantly lower serum VEGF level after receiving immunosuppression aggressive therapy than before. The serum VEGF level of nephrotic syndrome in nephrotic phase was higher than in remission stage. In membranous glomerulonephritis serum VEGF correlated positively with 24-hour proteinuria excretion. The serum VEGF level correlated positively with anti-dsDNA Ab titer and the concentration of ? globulins in LN. Conclusion Cytokine VEGF is involved in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis, and in the occurrence and progression of proteinuria. Immunosuppression therapy can inhibit the expression of VEGF. In LN patients, the serum VEGF level is related to LN activity.

Objective To observe the removal of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-? ), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) patients, and investigate the effect of inflammatory mediators on HFRS. Methods A total of 40 patients with moderate or more severe HFRS were divided into two groups randomly. Continuous venous-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) was applied to the 20 cases in CVVH group, and hemodialysis (HD) was applied to the 20 cases in HD group. The levels of TNF-? and IL-6 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and ET-1 level was measured by radioimmunoassays (RIA). Results ① In comparing CVVH and HD groups, the days of oliguria (3.0?2.1, 6.0?3.4), incidence of complications (25%, 40%), and mortality (15%, 25%) had significant differences (P0.05). ④ In CVVH group, IL-6 and ET-1 could be detected constantly in filtrate, but TNF-? was not detectable. TNF-?, IL-6 and ET-1 were not detectable in dialysate. Conclusion Continuous blood purification can remove plasma inflammatory mediators. Therefore, it is helpful in recovering renal function, improving the prognosis of HFRS, and decreasing complications and mortality. CVVH is one of the best methods to treat HFRS.
