OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy and safety of Wuji Powder (WP) and a small dose aripiprazole in treatment of antipsychotic drug-induced phlegm dampness type amenorrhea.
METHODSSeventy female schizophrenic patients with antipsychotic drug-induced galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome (GAS) were recruited and randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group, 35 in each group. All patients received antipsychotic drug therapy. Patients in the treatment group additionally took WP, while those in the control group took aripiprazole (at the daily dose of 5 mg, once daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. Prolactin levels and obesity indices[body weight, waist aircumstance, body mass index (BMI) and waist-hit ratio (WHR)] were determined before and after treatment. The efficacy was evaluated.
RESULTSThe treatment course was completed in 95.71% of patients. The total effective rate of the 33 patients of the treatment group was 93.94% (31/33), while it was 91.18% (31/34) in the 34 patients of the control group. There was no difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). Prolactin levels in both group after treatment were significantly lower than those of the baseline (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in prolactin levels between the two groups after treatment (P > 0.05). Compared with before treatment, body weight, BMI, waist circumstance, and waist-hip ratio obviously decreased after treatment, showing significant difference when compared with the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in body weight, BMI, waist circumstance, and waist-hip ratio in the control group between before and after treatment (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSBoth WP and aripiprazole could lower high prolactin levels of schizophrenics with phlegm dampness type amenorrhea. They showed equivalent efficacy. But WP showed more obvious effect in reducing obesity indices.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of needle revision with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the dysfunctional filtering blebs after trabeculectomy and to assess the factors that may impact the success.
METHODS:Eighty- three eyes in 76 patients underwent the needle revision and 5-FU subconjunctive injection for the dysfunctional blebs after trabeculectomy and were followed up for 12mo. The intraocular pressure ( IOP), the number of drugs, corneal endothclium, bleb morphology and complications were observed and recorded.
RESULTS: IOP decreased significantly from 35. 3 ±5. 8mmHg(1kPa = 7. 5mmHg) of pre - needling to 17. 0 ±4. 3mmHg of post - needling ( P < 0. 01 ); the average numbers of medications decreased significantly from 1. 7±0. 9 of pre-needing to 0. 4±0. 7 of post-needing (P<0. 01). At 12mo after needling, the success rate of filtering blebs was 89. 2% and the complete success rate was 69. 9%. The Kaplan - Meier survival analysis estimated mean survival period was 11. 0mo (95% CI: 10. 3 - 11. 6). Statistically, there were no significant difference on needling effect with reference to the types of glaucoma, the use of mitomycin C ( MMC ) during the previous filtration surgery, the ages of patients, the intervals of needling operation from previous trabeculectomy, while there were significant difference on needling effect with reference to bleb appearance before needling, and the mean number of needling in patients that had surgery within 3mo were less than those who had surgery for more than 3mo.
CONCLUSION: The needle revision combined with 5-FU is a safe, effective and simple method. Dysfunctional blebs should be treated early after trabeculectomy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of CD44 in leukemia cell lines and its role in adhesion, migration and infiltration of leukemia cells.
METHODSThe expression levels of CD44 in four leukemia cell lines SHI-1, THP-1, NB4 and K562 were assayed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot when they were in logarithmic phase. And these cell lines were divided into control group (treated with same species and isotype IgG) and experimental group (treated with anti-CD44 mono-clonal antibody). The assays of cell-cell adhesion to endothelial cells line ECV304, migration through the artificial matrix membrane and infiltration through the Matrigel were performed.
RESULTSThe relative expression ratios of CD44 to GAPDH in SHI-1, THP-1, NB4 cells were 0.0731 ± 0.0072, 0.0827 ± 0.0151 and 0.1473 ± 0.0365, respectively, which were significantly higher than that in K562 cells (0.0002 ± 0.0000, P < 0.01). Cell-cell adhesion assay showed that the adhesion rates of SHI-1, THP-1 and NB4 cells in the experimental group decreased to 72.78%, 64.09% and 57.42%, respectively, and were lower than those of the control groups, while that of K562 cells in the experimental group was 106.16%. Migration assay showed that the transmembrane rates of SHI-1,THP-1 and NB4 cells were 55%, 29% and 25% in the control group, respectively, and decreased to 32%, 18% and 12% in the experimental group, respectively, while those of K562 cells in both control group and experimental group remained 2%. The infiltration rates of SHI-1, THP-1 and NB4 cells decreased from 24%, 15% and 13% in the control group to 12%, 8% and 4% in the experimental group, respectively, while K562 cells in both groups could not pass through the Matrigel.
CONCLUSIONCD44 antigen might play an important role in the adhesion, migration and infiltration of leukemia cells and be involved in the extra-medullary infiltration of leukemia cells.

To study whether recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) reduces neuronal apoptosis through inhibiting over-expression of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in nucleus induced by brain ischemia/reperfusion in rats, 48 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham, saline and EPO groups. Animal models of brain ischemia/reperfusion were established by middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. The effects of EPO on the sizes of ischemia tissue were observed by TTC staining. The over-expression of GAPDH in nucleus was detected by Hoechst-33258 and anti-GAPDH antibody double staining. The neuronal apoptosis in penumbral was detected by Nissl's staining and Hoechst-33258 immunofluorescence, respectively. The results showed that rhEPO treatment (3 000 U/kg, three times daily, i.p.) apparently reduced the sizes of infarct brain tissue in ischemia/reperfusion rats. rhEPO inhibited over-expression of GAPDH in nucleus of apoptotic neurons. In the meantime rhEPO decreased the number of apoptotic neurons in ischemia/reperfusion rats. These results suggest that rhEPO may induced reduction of neuronal apoptosis in penumbra may be through inhibiting over-expression of GAPDH in nucleus of apoptotic neurons induced by ischemia/reperfusion. Reduction of GAPDH over-expression in nucleus may play a pivotal role in EPO inhibiting neuronal apoptosis in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rats, providing experimental evidence for EPO neuro-protecting effects against ischemia/reperfusion.

BACKGROUND: As a kind of semitransparent membrane, human amniotic membrance contains many kinds of nutrients, which is a good biological material loaded with keratinocytes.OBJECTIVE: To construct epidermal substitute of the skin from human amniotic membrane loaded with porcine keratinocytes and examine the morphological characteristics of the growth and proliferation of keratinocytes seeded on human amniotic membrane.DESIGN: Single sample study and repetitive measured observation based on the cells.SETTING: Institute of Combined Injuries of Chinese PLA, Academy of Preventive Medicine, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the State Key Laboratory of Trauma, Burn and Combined Injury and Institute of Combined Injuries of Chinese PLA, Academy of Preventive Medicine, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January to November 2001. Porcine keratinocytes was collected from Guizhou minipigs aged 3 weeks.METHODS: The primarily cultured keratinocytes of Guizhou minipigs were subcuhured, expanded and bred on the stroma surface of human amniotic membrance at the density of 1.63 × 105/cm2. The growth and proliferation of keratinocytes were observed under inverted microscope every day. From the 3rd day and the 15th day after being cultured, the growth of keratinocytes on human amniotic membrane was examined under light microscope and electron microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The growth of keratinocytes on human amniotic membrane was examined RESULTS: Keratinocytes evidently adhered to the stroma surface of human amniotic membrane about 30 minutes after being cultured, which was observed under inverted microscope. Most keratinocytes grew and adhered to the stroma surface of human amniotic membrane within 24 hours. Monolayer of keratinocytes formed and completely covered human amniotic membrane within 3 days. It was observed under the light microscope that the monolayer of keratinocytes adhered to human amniotic membrane and arrayed tightly. The keratinocytes presented in the shape of polygon, and plasmalemmas of keratinocytes formed many pseudopods under the observation with scanning electron microscope. Keratinocytes adhered to human amniotic membrane well and with many keratinofilaments in them under the observation with transmission electron microscope. Keratinocytes arrayed on human amniotic membrane densely with many cellular debris and some keratinocytes formed cavitations in them due to aging after growth for 15 days under the observation with inverted microscope.CONCLUSION: Human amitotic membrane is a good carrier of keratinocytes cultured on it in vitro, and is able to promote the proliferation of keratinocytes significantly. However, when keratinocytes were loaded on the human amniotic membrane for 15 days, some keratinocytes formed cavitations in them due to aging.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect and potential mechanism of expression of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signal pathway on neuron autophagy after diffuse brain injury (DBI).
METHODSMale Sprague Dawley rats (n = 216) were randomly divided into four groups: DBI group (n = 54), SP600125 intervene group (n = 54), DMSO group (n = 54) and sham operation group (n = 54). DBI rat model was established according to the description of Marmarou DBI. At different time points (1, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h) after operation, the histopathologic changes of neurons in cortex were observed by HE staining method; The expression of p-JNK, p-P53, DRAM and Beclin-1 were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.
RESULTSThe results showed that under light microscope degenerated and necrotic neurons were observed to be scattered in cortex at 6 h after operation in DBI group, but these changes were low in SP600125 intervene group. Compared with SP600125 intervene group, the expression of p-JNK in DBI group were enhanced obviously at 6, 12 and 24 h (F = 17.902, P < 0.05); the expression of p-P53 in DBI group were enhanced obviously at 12, 24, 48 and 72 h (F = 7.107, P < 0.05); the expression of DRAM in DBI group were enhanced obviously at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h (F = 15.455, P < 0.05); the expression of Beclin-1 in DBI group were enhanced obviously at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h (F = 11.517, P < 0.05). Compared with DBI group, the expression of p-JNK, p-P53, DRAM and Beclin-1 in DMSO group were similar at 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h (F = 1.509, P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe present results indicate that SP600125 can dramatically improve trauma brain injury from autophagy after DBI and the molecular mechanism is related to the modulation of JNK signal pathway following DBI, while it measures the neuron autophagy by means of intervening JNK signal pathway.

Sterigmatocystin (ST), the secondary metabolite of many kinds of filamentous fungi, is a potent carcinogen structurally related to the aflatoxins (AFT). With similar chemical structure, sterigmatocystion behaves much the homogeneous properties to aflatoxins, both of these mycotoxins exhibit similar biological properties due to their bisfuranoid structure. Since the common, and even heavier pollution, found in foods and feeds-stuff, sterigmatocystion is more harmful than aflatoxins. The reported detection methods of sterigmatocystion included the Thin-layer Chromatography, the High-Performance-Liquid Chromatography, the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbant Assay and the PCR detection to the toxic gene, however studies about both easy and inexpensive electro-chemical methods have not been found. Our previous studies had discovered that Sterigmatocystin (ST) exist similar sensitivity towards aflatoxin-detoxifizyme (ADTZ), which we had isolated from a fungus, as aflatoxin does. In this work, the preliminary study on electrochemical analysis and determination of ST with triplet electrode enzyme-biosensor system (Ag/AgCl as the reference electrode, Pt and Au as the pair and work electrode, respectively) was carried out. Multiwall-carbon-nanotube (MWNT) had been used to increase the electron transportation on electrode. In the research, the Au electrode was modified by MWNT-immobilized ADTZ, and then the voltammertric behavior of ST was studied by means of cyclic voltammogram analysis and different pulse analysis. Autoprobe CP Research Atomic Force Microscope and TECNAI 10 Transmission Electron Microscope, had been used to detect the MWNT as well as the surface of MWNT-modified ADTZ. The voltammertric behavior of ST was studied by means of cyclic voltammogram analysis and different pulse analysis. The results show that the red-ox peak potential of ST is at the point of -600 mV, the linear detection range is from 8.32 x 10(-5) to 66.56 x 10(-5) mg/mL, the detection limit is at 8.32 x 10(-5) mg/mL, and the response time is 10 seconds. This study provided a good basic work for further research.
