1.Expression of S100B Protein in the Placenta and Umbilical Cord of the Pregnant Women at Different Gestational Ages
Journal of China Medical University 2009;(10):781-782,789
Objective To investigate the expression and localization of S100B protein in the placenta and umbilical cord tissue of the pregnant women at different gestational ages. Methods The placenta and umbilical cord tissues were obtained from 60 healthy pregnant women at different gestational ages:13~27 weeks (a = 20),28~36 weeks (n = 20),37~41 weeks (n = 20). The localization and expres-sion of S100B protein was detected by S-P immunochemical method and Western blotting. Results In the placenta,the S100B protein lo-cated in the trophoblast.myofibroblasts.macrophages and smooth muscle cells. The intensity of immunostaining and protein concentration in-creased with advancing gestation. In the umbilical cord,the S100B protein was found in the smooth muscle cells,myofibmblasts,amnion ep-ithelium, macrophages and monocytes. S100B piotein expression showed no significant difference in the different cells of the umbilical cord. Conclusion S100B protein expression in the placenta and umbilical cord tissues is throughout the gestation and increases with advancing gestation in the placenta.

Artery pulse theories are closely tied to body circulation theories.This design aims to build up a bridge between Chinese medicine and Western medicine through the method of engineering.It uses microscope to enlarge the simulated artery and get the blood pulse curve in an image processing way.In the same condition,there are quite close relations between blood pulse curve and artery pulse curve.It's easy to simulate the changes of the viscoelasticity through changing the artery materials,which can bring up a new artery pulse curve.The differences between the new artery pulse curve and the former one are comprehensively analyzed.This design explains the differences in Windkessel theory,and makes a conclusion.

Objective To investigate the ultrasonic features and differential diagnosis of superficial neurilemmoma ,and improve diagnostic accuracy of superficial neurilemmoma by ultrasound .Methods Retrospectively analyse the ultrasonic findings of 51 ca-ses ,which confirmed for superficial neurilemmoma by pathology ,and analyse the misdiagnosis reason from the aspects of size , shape ,boundary ,internal echo ,blood flow signals .Results Superficial neurilemmoma had some characteristics in the shape ,bound-ary ,internal echo ,blood flow signals and so on .However ,the key point to differentiate it from other diseases was to identify the re-lationship with peripheral nerve .In this study ,the coincidence rate of ultrasonoic diagnosis with pathologic diagnosis was 78 .4% . Conclusion Superficial neurilemmoma have some similarity with neurofibroma or sebaceous cyst on ultrasonographic images .When making diagnosis ,especial attention should be paid to identify the relationship of neurilemmoma with peripheral nerve .

Objective This study was designed to explore the effect of hyperglycemia on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4 ) in renal tubular epithelial cells and its significance in diabetic nephropathy. Methods In vitro cultured renal tubular epithelial cells ( NRK-52E) were divided into LG group (cultured in 5mmol / L glucose DMEM) and HC group (cultured in 25mmol / L glucose DMEM). Cells were harvested at different time points. Immunohistochemistry, Rt-PCR, Western Blot were used to detect TLR4 protein and mRNA expression, and the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α from the cell culture supernatant were determined by EL1SA assay. Results After 6 hours, there was increased expression TLR4 mRNA in HC group, which appeared to be maintained for 24 hours and began to decrease after 48 hours ( P < 0.05). TLR4 protein expression increased in HC group after 24 hours, and increased even further after 48 hours. Compared with LG groups, the difference had statistical significance ( P <0.05). In HG group, IL-6 and TNF-α expression in the supernatant from the NRK-52E culture were significantly increased ( P < 0.05) , and the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α was positive correlated with the expression of TLR4 protein ( r =0.799,0.820). Conclusion High glucose triggers an increase in expression of TLR4 in NRK-52E cells, itself leading to an increase in expression of inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IL-6. In this way, TLR4 participates in the progress of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To investigate the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway regulating synthesis function of steroid hormone of porcine ovarian granulose cells.Methods Porcine ovarian granulose cells were cultured in medium added with dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)at concentration of 50μmol/L or with MAPK inhibitor PD98059 (PD) for 48 hours.Then,granulose cells in DMSO medium were added with activator of adenylate cyclase(20 μmoL/L)or blank agent for next 48 hours incubation,which were defined as observation group 1 and control group 1,similarly,granulose cells in PD medium were also added with activator of adenylate cyclase(20 μmol/L)or blank agent for next 48 hours,which were defined as observation group 2 and control group 2.The level of estradiol(E_2),progesterone (P)and testosterone (T) were detected by chemoluminescence.The mRNA expression of 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) and aromatase P450 (P450 arom) were assessed by RT-PCR.Results (1)Hormone expression:the level of T,P and E_2 were(29.5±2.5)nmol/L,(80±5)nmol/L,(49±4) pmol/L in control group 1 and(42.3±3.4)nmol/L,(170±15)nmol/L,(75±6)pmol/L in control group 2,which showed significant difference(P<0.05).In the mean time,the level of T, P and E_2 were (106.2±7.6)nmol/L,(210±16)nmol/L,(130±11)pmol/L in observation group 2 and(47.2±3.5)nmol/L,(130±6)nmol/L,(81±6)pmol/L in observation group 1,which also reach statistical difference(P<0.05).(2)The expression of enzyme:the expression of CYP17 mRNA was inereased by 50% and P450 arom mRNA was decreased by 20% between control group 1 and 2. However, the mRNA expression of P450 arom and CYPI7 were upregulated remarkably, especially, the expression of CYP17 mRNA were increased by 125%. Conclusion MAPK signaling pathway plays an inhibitory role in regulating synthesis of steroid hormone of ovarian granulose cell.
