Objective To study the location and level of relaxin receptor in placenta tissues of preeclampsia and normal pregnancy,and the relationship of relaxin receptor with pre-eclampsia.Methods Twenty-six placenta tissue samples from pregnant women with severe preeclampsia(study group),and 20samples from normal pregnancies(control group)were obtained.We detected the expression of relaxin receptor by immunohistochemistry and the expression of relaxin receptor mRNA by RT-PCR.Results In the placenta of control and preeclampsia groups,the leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor(LGR7)was positively expressed.Relaxin receptor was located in the membrane of trophoblast cells.There were both strong signals on cytotrophoblastic cells and syneytiotrophoblast.The level of relaxin receptor in the control group was 0.912 ±0.003.and 0.625±0.037 in the preeclampsia group.Thedifference between the two groups was obvious(P<0.01).In the control group,the level of relaxin receptor mRNA was 0.776±0.021;in the preeclampsia group,it was 0.393±0.075.The difference was obvious(P<0.01).Conclusion Decrease in the expression of relaxin receptor at placenta is related with the occurrence and development of preeclampsia.

Objective To observe the effect of lattice silver wound repair dressings on large-area abrased wounds . Methods A total of 60 patients with large-area skin abrasions were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 30 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with the same antibacterial treatment and nutritional support treatment. The control group received conventional general routine dressings and the observation group had the silver wound repair dressings every day. The two groups were compared in terms of the wound pain, wound infection rate, time for wound healing and scars of patients. Results The wound healing time in the observation group was significantly shortened (P<0.01). The scaring of the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.01). The pain degree and the exudation rate were both significantly lower in the observation group than those of the control group (P<0.01), and wound infection rate was lower than that of control group. Conclusions The lattice silver wound repair dressing can effectively promote the wound healing, shorten hospitalization duration, promote the patient recovery soon. It is simple and worthy of clinical popularization.

AIM:To investigate the effects of progranulin (PGRN) on the proliferation, apoptosis and inflammatory responses in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human alveolar epithelial A549 cells and HPAEpiC cells.METHODS:The cells were divided into 4 groups:control group (the normal cultured cells), LPS group [the cells were treated with LPS (10 mg/L)], PGRN+LPS group (the cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-PGRN plasmids and then treated with LPS), and pcDNA3.1+LPS group (the cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-EGFP plasmids and then treated with LPS).The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, cell proliferation was measured by BrdU incorporation assay, and cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The expression of PGRN at mRNA and protein levels was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The protein levels of caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, p65 and p-IκB-α were determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with control group, the cell proliferation rate was decreased (P<0.05), and the apoptotic rate was increased (P<0.05) in LPS group.The protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), and the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated (P<0.05).The protein levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), and the protein levels of p65 and p-IκB-α were enhanced (P<0.05).Compared with LPS group, the cell proliferation rate was increased (P<0.05), and the apoptotic rate was decreased (P<0.05) in PGRN+LPS group.The protein levels of caspase-3 and Bax were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), and the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated (P<0.05).The protein levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), and the protein levels of p65 and p-IκB-α were decreased (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:PGRN over-expression may alleviate LPS-induced abnormal proliferation, apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine production in the A549 cells and HPAEpiC cells, which may be associated with the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for further improving negotiation mechanism of drug medical insurance in Chi-na. METHODS:Questionnaire investigation was conducted among the medical insurance agency and pharmaceutical company staff who participated in drug medical insurance negotiation in Jiangsu province,Jiangxi province,Qingdao,Chengdu. Their business fa-miliarity and recognition of the negotiating mechanism were also investigated. The descriptive analysis,independent sample t test and other methods were adopted to analyze the data statistically. RESULTS:A total of 70 questionnaires were distributed and 68 val-id questionnaires were collected with effective recovery rate of 97.14%. Respondents included 21 staff members of medical insur-ance agencies and 47 of pharmaceutical companies. In terms of business familiarity,the average score of respondents in all aspects was greater than 3(4 points system),the lowest score wasmanagement of the implementation of drug negotiation projects. There were statistical significances in scores of 3 items between 2 parties in the negotiation(P<0.05):basic principles of the drug negotiation process should be followednegotiation objectives in the substantive negotiation process total score of busi-ness familiarity. The scores of respondents in pharmaceutical companies were higher than those of health insurance agencies. In the recognition of the negotiating mechanism,average score of each survey item was ≥4(5 points system)in the recognition of the overall effect of the negotiation mechanism except forwhich is conducive to maintaining the price system of pharmaceutical com-panies. The average score of all aspects of preparation of the negotiations,substantive negotiation,implementation of the negotia-tion agreement and negotiation project's supervision and evaluation was >4 except forpatients taking drugs is quick and easy. There was no statistical significance between 2 types of respondents in all aspects of overall effect of the negotiation mechanism, preparation of the negotiations and negotiation project's supervision and evaluation(P>0.05). But in the recognition of the substan-tive negotiation,there was statistically significance between 2 types of respondents innegotiations between the two sides in an equal,cooperative,harmonious atmosphere(P<0.05). Healthcare agencies'respondents had higher scores than pharmaceutical companies'ones. And in the recognition of the implementation of the negotiation agreement,there was statistical significance be-tween 2 types of respondents in theafter the agreement entered into force,the medical insurance agency will be strictly in accor-dance with the agreementandfund pay to pharmaceutical companies timely and reasonable(P≤0.05). Healthcare agencies're-spondents have higher scores for than pharmaceutical companies'ones. CONCLUSIONS:The current drug medical insurance nego-tiation mechanism shows good overall effect and runs smoothly. But there are still some shortages,such as collected information the preparation stage is not sufficient;the procedures of patients taking the drug is complicated;negotiating parties do not have equal status;the fund is not paid to the pharmaceutical enterprise timely;evaluation is not perfect.
