Objective:To investigate the value of anti-hexokinase1 antibodies (anti-HK-1) and anti-kelch-like 1 antibodies (anti-KLHL12) antibody in evaluating ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) response in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Methods:112 PBC patients who had been treated with UDCA for more than 12 months with relatively complete clinical data were analyzed. Serum was collected and the expression of anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), anti-HK-1 and anti-KLHL12 antibodies were detected by ELISA. The response to UDCA was based on Paris standard. According to the expression of new antibodies, the patients were divided into the new antibody positive group and negative group. In addition, PBC related baseline indicators were collected, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between antibody expression and baseline indicators in PBC patients.Results:Positivity of anti-HK1 and anti-KLHL12 antibody in AMA-positive PBC patients were 44.7% and 41.2% respectively. Positivity of anti-HK1 and anti-KLHL12 antibodies in AMA negative PBC patients were 33.3% and 22.2%. Anti-HK1 positive patients had higher serum levels of Alaninetransaminase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase, (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) and total bilirubin (TBIL) compared with anti-HK1 negative patients, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). Notably, correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlation between anti-HK1 antibody expression and ALP, γ-GT and TBIL serum levels ( r=0.735, P<0.05; r=0.332, P<0.05; r=0.491, ( r=0.466, P<0.05). The UDCA response rate in anti-HK-1 antibody positive group was lower than that of the negative group (36.2% vs 60%; P<0.05). Conclusion:Anti-HK-1 and anti-KLHL12 antibody can help to diagnose PBC, and the expression of anti-HK-1 antibody is correlated with the severity of PBC, which could help to predict the reaction of PBC patients to UDCA.

AIM: To investigate the possibility of 3T3 fibroblast growth on blood fibrin clot in culture medium with recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF). METHOD: Growth of the cells on blood fibrin clot was studied by phase-contrast, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and by Giemsa stain and MTT assay. RESULTS: The optimal concentration of rhbFGF for proliferation and survival of the cells was 100 ng/mL. The cells also grew on blood fibrin clot scaffold in the low-serum medium containing 100 ng/mL rhbFGF, and a greater number of the cells survived after 48 hours incubation compared to that after 24 hours. The elongated filopodia appeared to bridge the gaps among the fibroblasts after 24 hours incubation. Further incubation to 72 hours, a greater number of platycytes were found to be joined together by lamellopodia. CONCLUSION: 3T3 fibroblasts could grow and survive on blood fibrin clot in the low-serum medium containing rhbFGF, and a combination of blood fibrin clot and rhbFGF may have over proportional effects on wound healing.

BACKGROUND:Ferula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen is composed of volatile oil, resin and gum that have the anti-inflammatory, anti-alergic, antispasmodic and analgesic effects. But its analgesic mechanism is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect ofFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen on heat pain, mechanical pain, Fos protein expression and astrocyte activation in spinal cord of rats with neuropathic pain. METHODS: Eighty adult Sprague-Dawley rat models of chronic sciatic nerve injury were randomly divided into five groups and then intragasticaly administeredFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen at low, moderate and high doses (0.075, 0.15, 0.30 g/kg), celecoxib or physiological saline. Heat pain and mechanical pain were measured at 1 day before operation and at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14 days after operation. The spinal cord tissue at S4-5 segments was harvested and Fos protein expression and astrocyte activation in the spinal cord of rats were observed by immunohistochemical staining method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 1 and 5 days of medication, behavioral pain scores of rats in the low-, moderate-, and high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen groups were significantly higher than that in the physiological saline group (P < 0.01). The largest reduction in heat pain threshold was measured in the moderate-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen group compared to the other groups (P < 0.01). The most significant reduction in rat mechanical pain threshold was measured in the high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen group than in the other groups (P < 0.01). At each time point post-operation, the number of Fos protein-positive cels in the low-, moderate- and high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen and celecoxib groups was significantly lower than that in the physiological saline group (P < 0.05); the number of Fos protein-positive cels in the moderate- and high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M Shen groups was significantly higher than that in the celecoxib group (P< 0.05). At each time point post-operation, the number of astrocytes in the spinal cord tissue of rats in the high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen and celecoxib groups was significantly lower than that in the physiological saline group (P< 0.05). There was significant difference in the number of astrocytes between the moderate- and high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M shen groups and celecoxib group (P< 0.05). These results confirm thatFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen may effectively aleviate the neuropathic pain of rats, and the mechanism of which may be related to the activation of Fos protein and astrocytes in the spinal cord.
