Objective To investigate the effect of hydrogen sulfide postconditioning on the systolic function of left ventricle during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats. Methods Part Ⅰ Adult male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were anesthetized with pentobarbital 40 mg/kg and heparin 250 U/kg. Their hearts were excised and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with K-H solution saturated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 37 ℃. Forty isolated rat hearts were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 8 each) after 20 min of equilibration: control group (group C); IR group; sodium hydrosulfide 1,10, 100 μmol/L postconditioning group (group SP1, SP10, SP100 ).In group Cthe hearts were perfused continuously for another 100 min. In group IR, the hearts were reperfused for 60 min after 40 min ischemia induced by 10 ml/kg ST. Thomas solution. In group SP1 , SP10 and SP100 the hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing sodium hydrosulfide 1, 10, 100 μmol/L for 2 min before reperfusion.LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were recorded at the end of equilibration and reperfusion. Part Ⅱ Cardiomyocytes were isolated from the male SD rats (weighing 200-250 g) and then cultured in CO2 incubator for 4 h. Sixty-four dishes of cultured myocytes were randomly divided into 4 groups( n = 16 each): control group (group C), hypoxia/reoxygenation group (group HR), hydrogen sulfide postconditioning group (group SP) and hypoxia postconditioning group (group HP). Group C were cultured continuously for 2 h. Group HR, SP and HP were exposed to 1 h hypoxia (95%N2-5%CO2 ) followed by 1 h reoxygenation. In group SP 10 μmol/L sodium hydrosulfide was added and the myocytes were then incubated for 2 min before reoxygenation. In group HP the cultured myocytes were expased to 3 min reoxygenation followed by 3 min hypoxia for 3 times before the 1 h reoxygenation. Mitochondrial membrane potential and F-actin expression were determined. Results Part Ⅰ Compared with group C, LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were significantly decreased at the end of reperfusion in group IR (P < 0.05), while no significant difference was found in group SP1 , SP10 and SP100(P >0.05). Compared with group IR, LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were significantly increased in group SP ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in LVDP and ± dp/dtmax among group SP1, SP10 and SP100(P >0.05). Part H Compared with group C, the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased in group HR and HP, and the expression of F-actin was significantly up-regulated in group HR, SP and HP ( P < 0.05). Compared with group HR, the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly increased and the expression of F-actin up-regulated in group SP and HP ( P < 0.05 ). There were no significant difference in the mitochondrial membrane potential and expression of F-actin between group SP and HP ( P >0.05).Conclusion Hydrogen sulfide postconditioning can improve left ventricular systolic function during IR in rats by stabilizing mitochondrial membrane potential and promoting aggregation of F-actin.

Objective To value the significance of TGFBR2 gene in mediating HepG2 cell proliferation by RNA interference technology. Methods Three kinds of siRNAs targeting TGFBR2 gene were designed, synthesized and transfected into HepG2 cells via lipofetamine2000. Among three kinds of siRNAs, only the one with the most interference efficacy was selected and the correspondent DNA sequence was inserted into plasmid pEGFP-N3. Then the recombinant plasmid of siRNA-pEGFP-N3 was transfected into HepG2 cell and western blot was used to detect the protein level of TGFBR2. Then, TGF-β1 was used to stimulate HepG2 cells with or without siRNA interference and proliferation of HepG2 cells was observed. Results Among these three siRNAs, siRN-1 appeared to be the most effective. After stimulated by 5ng/mL TGF-β1, proliferation of HepG2 cells showed a marked increase in siRNA-1 group compared with blank and siRNA-NC groups (P<0.05). For all that, the proliferation rate was still lower than that in normal HepG2 cell group without TGF-β1 stimulation. Conclusion By silencing TGFBR2 gene, inhibition of TGF-β1 signaling pathway to HepG2 cells could be decreased, thereby enhancing the cell proliferation.
4.Clinical applications of anti-Müllerian hormone in evaluating ovarian reserve functions.
Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae 2009;31(1):114-119
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta superfamily and mainly expressed by the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles. In women AMH is only expressed in ovarian follicles and therefore can be used for the evaluation of the ovarian reserve function and the prediction of ovary ageing and ovarian response during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. This article summarizes the clinical application of AMH, especially in evaluating ovarian reserve functions.

The association of urinary cytokine concentration with the incidence of urinary tract infection in patients with diabetes mellitus was explored. Urinary interleakin-6 (IL-6) level in 156 female type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was tested and followed up for 6 months. The incidence of urinary tract infection between the top quartile of baseline urinary cytokine concentration with the bottom quartile was compared. The incidence of top quartile of urinary IL-6 concentration at baseline was significantly lower than that of bottom quartile ( 13.5% vs 37.8%, P<0.05 ). Abnormality of urinary IL-6 concentration may be involved in the mechanism leading to higher prevalence of urinary tract infection in patients with diabetes mellitus.

ObjectiveIn order to compare the alteration of reelin-immunoreactive Cajal-Retzius cells (CR cells) in molecular layer of dentate gyrus of APPswe transgenic mice with wild type, the histochemical and developmental characteristics of CR cells were studied, therefore, the roles of CR cells in Alzheimer's disease would be revealed further.Methods The Thioflavine S staining, reelin immunofluorescence with or without reelin/glutamate and reelin/GABA immuno-double staining were carried out in the study. In the meantime, Western blotting was used to study the expression of reelin in hippocampi of the both wild type and transgenic mice. Results Reelin positive CR cells could be double-labeled with either glutamate or GABA immunostaining. Caspase-3 immunofluorescence demonstrated that some CR cells went through apoptosis during their development. Compared with wild type, CR cells in APPswe transgenic mice had significantly decreased in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. The result was supported with Western blotting analysis of reelin expression in hippocampus. Conclusion Reelin could be co-expressed with either glutamate or GABA, suggesting CR cells would be glutamatergic exciting neurons and GABAergic interneurons. The loss of CR cells during development probably was caused by the neuroapoptosis. Significant decrease of CR cells in hippocampus of APPswe transgenic mice indicated reelin may play an important role in AD pathological alterations.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypoxic postconditioning and diazoxide postconditioning on the calreticulin expression during hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Primary cultured male SD rat cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 8 each): control group (group C),H/R group; hypoxic postconditioning group (group HP) and diazoxide postconditioning group (group DP). Group C were cultured continuously for 2 h. Group H/R, Hp and DP were exposed to 45 min hypoxia (95% N2-5% CO2)followed by 1 h reoxygenation. In group HP, the cells were subjected to three cycles of 3 min hypoxia at 3 min intervals at the end of 45 min hypoxia before 1 h reoxygenation. In group DP, diazoxide 50 μmol/L was giyen at the end of hypoxia. Caspase-3 activity, calreticulin expression and intracellular free calcium ion concentrations were determined. Results Compared with group C, caspase-3 activity was significantly increased in the other groups,the calreticulin expression was up-regulated in group HP and DP, and the free calcium ion concentrations were increased in group H/R (P < 0.05 or 0.01). Compared with group H/R, caspase-3 activity was significantly decreased in HP and DP, the calreticulin expression was up-regulated and the free calcium ion concentrations were decreased in group HP and DP (P < 0.01). Conclusion Hypoxic postconditioning and diazoxide postconditioning attenuate H/R injury in rat cardiomyocytes through up-regulating the expression of calreticulin and reducing intracellular calcium overload.

Objective To investigate the electrophysiological characteristics of atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the side of the bundle of His, and to analyze the efficacy and safety of transcatheter radiofrequency ablation via the right side of the bundle of His and left noncoronary sinus of aorta for the treatment of AT. Methods A total of 12 patients with AT originating from the side the bundle of His, which was confirmed by conventional electrophysiological study and atrial activation patterns, were included in this study. The patient’s age ranged from 12 to 64 years old with a mean of (47.4±14.6) years. The mapping was carried out at the right side of the bundle of His and radiofrequency ablation was performed. When the ablation procedure failed, or the junction zone rhythm or atrioventricular block occurred, ablation via the left noncoronary sinus of aorta was employed. Results Atrial stimulation could repeatedly induce and terminate AT in all the 12 patients, the average cycle length was (327±76) ms. TA was terminated within 10 seconds after the start of ablation in 10 patients during their AT attacks. Ablation was unsuccessful in 2 patients. Ablation via the right side of His bundle was successfully accomplished in 2 patients, and the ablation via the left noncoronary sinus of aorta was successfully carried out in 8 patients. The average follow-up time was 1-6 years, and no recurrence of AT was observed. Conclusion Atrial tachycardia originating from the side of the bundle of His has certain electrophysiological characteristics, and transcatheter radiofrequency ablation is safe and effective for its treatment. Ablation via the left noncoronary sinus of aorta should be considered as a strategy of priority.
