Background Anti-VEGF drugs are generally applied in the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases.However,the therapy effect is unsatisfactory in some patients.Studing the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1),a upstream regulatory gene of VEGF,and its limiting enzyme prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain proteins (PHDs) is of important clinical significance.Objective This study was to investigate the negtive regulation of exogeneous PHDs on HIF-1 pathway in human RPE cells.Methods pFLAG-PHD1,pFLAG-PHD2 and pFLAG-PHD3 plasmids were constructed by extracting RNA from Hela cell line and coloning PHD1,PHD2 and PHD3 using reverse transcription PCR with restriction enzyme.The plasmids were identified by gene sequencing.ARPE-19 cells were cultured at 21％ O2 (normoxia group),1％ O2 (hypoxia group),or in hypoxia-mimicking agents (CoCl2,anoxia group),respectively,and then were transfected with plasmids encoding FLAG-tagged PHD1,PHD2,PHD3 and pFLAGCMV2 transfected cells served as blank control.The expressional intensities of PHD1,PHD2 and PHD3 in the cells were detected and compared among different groups by using Western blot assay.The transcriptional activity of HIF-1 in the cells was evaluated with dual luciierase reporter assay.Results Western blot assay showed that PHD1,PHD2 and PHD3 all were expressed in ARPE-19 cells in the normoxia group,hypoxia group and anoxia group.The expression was strong in PHD2 protein and was weak in PHD3 protein,a statistically significant difference was found between PHD2 protein expression and PHD1 or PHD3 expressions (all at P＜0.05).Endogenous HIF-1 activity was elevated in pFLAG-CMX transfected cells in the hypoxia group and anoxia group than that in the normoxia group.Compared with pFLAG-CMX transfected cells,no obvious change was seen in the endogenous HIF-1 activity in the normoxia group,however,HIF-1 activity was declined in the hypoxia group and anoxia group after pFLAG-PHD1,pFLAG-PHD2 or pFLAG-PHD3 transfection.Under the same oxygen environment,HIF-1 activity was lower in the pFLAG-PHD2 transfected cells than that in the pFLAG-PHD1 or pFLAG-PHD3 transfected cells (both at P＜0.05).Conclusions PHDs play a negative regulation to HIF-1 activating pathway in human RPE cells,especially in hypoxia and anoxia cells.Among PHDs proteins,PHD2 presents the strongest inhibition on HIF-1 activating pathway.

Objective To evaluate the significance of standardized ultrasound examination of fetal structures in the ifrst trimester (11-13+6 weeks). Methods The ultrasound data of 29 858 fetuses who underwent the ifrst trimester screening were analyzed retrospectively in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2010 to December 2012 and followed up the cases with structural abnormalities and increased nuchal translucency (NT). Results Among 29 858 fetuses, 328 structural defects were detected in 284 fetuses (0.95%) by ultrasound in the first trimester, including fetal hydrops (124 cases), choroid plexus cysts (36 cases), exencephaly (32 cases), gastroschisis (24 cases), exomphalos (22 cases), cardiac defects (19 cases), megacystis (14 cases), spine abnormalities (10 cases), meningoceles/encephaloceles (9 cases), alobar holoprosencephaly (8 cases), hydrocephaly (7 cases), abnormalities of extremities (7 cases), acrania (6 cases), amniotic band syndrome (4 cases), abdominal cyst (3 cases) and conjoined twins (3 cases). Pregnancy was terminated in all cases (115) with exencephaly, gastroschisis, exomphalos, meningoceles/encephaloceles, alobar holoprosencephaly, hydrocephaly,abnormalities of extremities, acrania, amniotic band syndrome and conjoined twins, and the defects were verified by the gross appearance of fetuses. Two cases of megacystis were turned out to be normal during follow-up while 1 case was proved to be aneuploid and 1 other case progressed to multiple abnormalities during the second trimester. Most choroid plexus cysts, except 1 case of aneuploid, were normal during the second and the third trimester follow-ups by ultrasound. Thirteen cases of fetal hydrops were found to be aneuploids and 4 hydrops cases were proved to be complicated with other structural defects during the second and the third trimester. NT was increased in 422 cases (1.41%), among which 122 cases (28.91%) were complicated with structural defects and/or fetal hydrops. Ninty-nine cases with increased NT underwent chromosomal examination and 38 cases were found to be aneuploides. During the follow-up of 298 cases with increased NT who continued pregnancy, 21 structural abnormalities were found, including cardiac defects (14 cases), neural abnormalities (4 cases) and diaphragmatic hernia (3 cases). Conclusion The standardized fetal ultrasound in the first trimester is a effective tool for the screening of aneupolides and major structural abnormalities.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between copper and organic components, total flavonoids of Astragalus (TFA), total saponins of Astragalus (TSA) and total polysaccharide of Astragalus (TPA).

METHODTFA, TSA and TPA were extracted from Astragalus roots using different organic solvents, and determined by colorimetry. The concentration of copper in extracts was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS).

RESULTCopper was found in TFA, TPA and TSA, and its concentration in TFA and TPA was higher; the content of copper was correlated significantly to that of TFA and TPA (r1(2) = 0.754 8, F1 = 57.202, P < 0.01 and r2(2) = 0.499, F2 = 21.906, P < 0.01), while not to that of TSA ( r3(2) = 0.0026, F3 = 0.041, P > 0.1).

CONCLUSIONCorrelation analysis could reveal the relationship of copper with organic components in Astragalus roots; contents and structure characteristics of organic components might be important factors influencing the distribution of copper in Astragalus roots.
