[Objective]To investigate the effect of salvianoli acid B and hyperoxic solution on experimental ischemia reperfusion injury of extremities.[Method]Twenty-four healthy New Zealand rabbits were divided into 4 groups randomly.Equivalent 0.9%Nacl(group A),hyperoxic solution(group B),salvianoli acid B(group C),salvianoli acid B and hyperoxic solution(group D) were injected through ear edge vein before ischemia.The femoral artery and vein were blocked and the model of ischemia reperfusion injury of extremities was set up.Before ischemia and after 4 hour's reperfusion,the blood samples were taken to measure the levels of blood malondialdehyde(MDA) and superoxide dismutase(SOD).The gastrocnemius muscles were observed by pathologic test.[Result]Serum enzymatic activity of MDA improved obviously.Salvianoli acid B and hyperoxic solution could prevent the improvement of it(P

Objective To investigate the role of p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) in colorectal mucosal carcinogenesis and the relationship between PAK1 expression and biological behavior of colorectal carcinoma. Method PAK1 was detected with immunohistochemical method in 10 normal colorectal mucosas,40 colorectal villous or tubular adenomas and 60 colorectal carcinomas. Results The positive rate for PAK1 was 10.0% in normal colorectal mucesas,and 25.0%, 33.3% and 33.3% in slight, moderate and severe dys-plastic adenomas, respectively, 65.0% was found in colorectul carcinomas. The positive rate for PAK1 in col-orectal carcinomas was higher than that in normal colorectal mucosas(P<0.01), colorectal villous or tubular adenomas(P<0.01), slight dysplastic adenomas(P<0.01) and moderate dysplastic adenomas (P<0.05).The positive rate for PAK1 of poor differentiated colorectal carcinomas was higher than that of high differentiated ones (P<0.05), and the positive rate for PAK1 of patients with lymph node metastasis was higher than that of patients without lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). In clinical stages, the positive rate for PAK1 in Dukes C and D stages patients was higher than that in Dukes A stage patients, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion PAK1 maybe play some role in the process of carcinogenesis of colorectal mucesa, and be used as an useful marker for assessment of the biological behavior and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma.

Objective To explore the possible role of proline-rich tyrosine kinase (Pyk2) in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods The expression of Pyk2 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 50 patients with SLE and 36 healthy controls were tested with RT-PCR assay.The activation of Pyk2 was inhibited using specific inhibitor Pyk2 (TyrA9).Semi-quantitative PCR methodwas used to detect the Blys expression of PBMCs.One-way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results The Pyk2 expression level (28.31 ±0.91) of SLE patients was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (33.69±0.04),the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The activation of Pyk2 was stimulated and the expression levels of Blys in the PBMCs of patients with SLE was elevated.By inhibiting the activation of Pyk2,the BLyS expression levels decreased significantly.Conclusion Pyk2 may be involved in the abnormal activation of lymphocytes which lead to the pathogenesis of SLE.Pyk2 expression is associated with SLE disease activity,disease aggravation,and the Pyk2 expression levels is also increased significantly.In addition,the expression level of Pyk2 is higher in patients with renal involvement than those patients with other organ involvement.

Objective By detecting the expression levels of Foxp3 in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA),and the Foxp3 gene promoter region methylation to explore its role in the pathogenesis of RA.Methods Twenty-five RA patients and 10 healthy controls were selected,and the PBMCs were extracted by density gradient centrifugation.Foxp3 expression levels of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells were detected by flow cytometry.The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay was used to detect the Foxp3 mRNA expression in PBMCs; and bisulfate processing gene sequencing was used to determinethe differences in Foxp3 gene promoter sequence methylation level of PBMCs.The comparison between groups was analyzed using one-way ANOVA; two sets of qualitative data were compared using Fisher's exact test.Results The expression levels of Foxp3 mRNA in the CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells of active RA patients (2.31±0.25) was significantly lower than inactive RA group (3.68±0.26) and healthy controls (5.67±0.34),the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The Foxp3 mRNA expression level in inactive RA group was lower than that of the healthy controls (P＜0.05).Foxp3 promoter region-67,-74 sites of methylation level in PBMCs of RA patients (46％) was significantly higher than that of the healthy controls (6％).Conclusion Reduction in the number of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of RA and Foxp3 gene promoter methylation levels plays a key role in this process.
