Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(03):-
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of small interference RNA on inhibiting bcl-2 gene expression. METHODS: With Ambion's software and kit, we designed and synthesized siRNA targeted bcl-2, which were transfected into astrocytoma cell line U251 with lipofectamine. The non-transfected cells and treatment with antisense drug G-3139 were taken as controls. MTT was used to detect the inhibitory rate of cell growth. Flow cytometric method was used to detect the change in cycle of the cells. The inhibitory effect of siRNA on mRNA level was detected by RT-PCR and on protein level was by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: For the living rate of cell, siRNA 2, 3, 5, 6 groups were significantly lower than siRNA 1, 4 groups, lipofectamine and control group at 24, 48, and 96 h. siRNA 1-6 groups only had statistic difference with antisense group at 24, 48 h. As for PCR and immunohistochemical method, the expression of bcl-2 on siRNA 2, 3, 5, 6 groups were significant lower than other groups. The results of flow cytomytric method showed the cells transfected with siRNA 1-6 and antisense were blocked at S stage. CONCLUSION: siRNA inhibited bcl-2 gene expression more than 50%.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between glucose excursions and oxidative stress in the elderly type 2 diabetic patients. MethodsFifty five elderly type 2 diabetic patients (32 males and 23 females) were recruited. All the patients were submitted to continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) for three days. According to the result of CGMS monitoring ,the patients were divided into two groups: high glucose excursion group (30 cases) and low glucose excursion group (25 cases). In high glucose excursion group, the therapy was adjusted for 4 weeks based on the CGMS monitoring. After the treatments, the specimens of blood were collected again to detect the related indexes. Results(1) There were no differences in age, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin between the two groups (all P>0.05). The stardard deviation of blood glucose was higher, and the maximun and average amplitude of glycemic excursion were significantly lower in high glucose excursion group than in low glucose excursion group (t= 5. 4620,5. 9416,3. 8281, all P<0.05) ;(2) Compared with low glucose excursion group, plasma concentration of 8-iso-PGF2a was obviously higher in high glucose excursion group[(57.56 ± 3.86)ng/L vs.(34. 21±3. 82) ng/L, t= 18. 221, P=0. 0000)] . (3) Stepwise regression analysis showed that the standard deviation of blood glucose was involved in regression model (β= 1. 959, P= 0. 013).ConclusionsIn elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, glucose excursion is related with oxidation stress, which suggests that the glucose excursion may be the risk factor for oxidation stress.

Objective To evaluate T2WI sequence and liver acquisition with volume acceleration (LAVA) technique in the diagnosis of early endometrial carcinoma on 3.0 T MR scanner. Methods Twenty-seven patients with endometrial carcinoma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. MRI sequences included axial T1WI and sagittal T2WI with fat saturation, axial and sagittal LAVA scanning including four phases: early arterial phase, late arteral phase, parenchymal phase and delayed phase. The tumor location, signal features, and myometrial infiltration by tumor were recorded and preoperative staging was compared with pathologic results. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy of T2WI and LAVA in diagnosing endometrial carcinoma was assessed. The accuracy of the evaluation of the deep myometrium infiltration was compared between the two sequences using Fisher's exact test. Results According to Federation International of Gynecologie and Obstetrigue (FIGO) standard, 27 patients with endometrial carcinoma were classified as: stage Ⅰ in 22 cases, stage Ⅱ in 5 cases. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values in assessing deep myometrium infiltration were 70.0% (7/10), 94. 1% (16/17), 87. 5% (7/8), 84. 2% (16/19) respectively for T2WI sequence. Its accuracy in assessing myometrium invasion was 85.2% (23/27). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 80. 0% (8/10), 94. 1% ( 16/17 ), 88. 9% (8/9), 88. 9% ( 16/18 ) respectively for LAVA sequence, and the accuracy was 88.9% (24/27). There was no statistical difference of accuracy between two techniques( P = 1.00). Conclusion 3.0 T MR T2WI sequence has important role in diagnosing early endometrial carcinoma, and LAVA technique is highly valued in preoperative diagnosis and staging in early endometrial carcinoma for myometrium infiltration.
