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%.

Objective:To investigate the rationality of prophylactic antibiotics application during perioperative period in the pa-tients with type Ⅱ incision operation in gynecology and obstetrics in our hospital after the intervention. Methods:Totally 274 medical records of obstetrics and gynecology patients with typeⅡincision operation in our hospital from April 2012 to March 2013 were collect-ed as the control group, another 321 medical records of obstetrics and gynecology patients with typeⅡincision operation in our hospital from April 2013 to March 2014 were collected as the intervention group. The rationality of prophylactic antibiotics application before and after the intervention was compared. Results:Compared with those in the control group, the average administration time, the hos-pitalization time and the cost of antimicrobial agents were significantly decreased in the intervention group (P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse drug reactions and operation incision infection between the two groups was not significant difference (P>0. 05). Compared with those in the control group, the incidence of irrational choice of antibacterial drugs, the combined use without indication, irrational medication time,over-time use, inappropriate use and improper choice of solvents in the intervention group was significantly reduced ( P<0. 05). Conclusion:After the intervention, the rationality of prophylactic antibiotics application during perioperative period in the patients with type Ⅱ incision operation in gynecology and obstetrics in our hospital is improved significantly.

Objective To understand the relationship among junior college students' anxious status in testing and studying behaviors and studying result. Methods TAS anxiety scale was used for the evaluation of anxious status, and data were analyzed by SPSS software. Results Statistical significance was observed among different specialties. Sex, socioeconomic status and living environment did not affect TAS score. The higher the anxious status was, the worse the studying results will be. The anxious status was associated with some studying behaviors. Conclusions Anxiety was correlated with specialities and studying behaviors, and affected studying result.

Objective To investigate the in vitro expressions of chamotatic factor CXCL12 [also known as stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)],the receptor of the factor,Cys-X-Cys receptor 4 (CXCR4) and vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) in human laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2 and their roles in the homing of laryngeal carcinoma. Methods The expressions of CXCR4 mRNA and protein in Hep-2 cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting,the expression of VEGF-C also was evaluated before and after incubated with SDF-1 (1,10,100 ng/ml) or the antagonist of CXCR4 AMD3100. Methythiazolyltetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to analyze the effect of different concentrations of SDF-1 on the proliferation of Hep-2 cells. Transwell invasion chamber and matrigel were used to evaluate the effect of various concentrations of SDF-1 and AMD3100 on the migration and invasion of Hep-2 cells. Results 1)The CXCR4 and VEGF-C were both overexpressed at mRNA and protein level in Hep-2 cells,and the expression of VEGF-C in Hep-2 cells was up-regulated with a concentration-dependent model,which was inhibited by CXCR4 antagonist (P

The afferant projections and their chemical nature from the midbrain raphe nuclei and periaqueductal gray to the thalamic ventral posterior nucleus were st- udied by HRP retrograde tracing combined with PAP immunocytochemical method Following injections of HRP into the thalamic ventral posterior nucleus, and reactions by HRP and PAP were performed subsequently. The double labelling cells containing HRP-positive granules and substance P-like immunoreactivity were found in various areas of brain, that is, the contralateral principal sensory nucleus of trigeminal nerve,nucleus gracilis,nucleus cuneatus, bilateral ventrola- teral divisions of the periaqueductal gray and midbrain raphe nuclei.A comparison of cell counts of double labeled cells with the total HRP-labeled cells indicated that the cells observed in the dorsal raphe nuclei were 21?7 in each rat, which constituted 48% of total HRP-labeling cells; The double labeling neurons in nuclei raphe centralis superior were found in two cases only, the cell bodies were very sparse and distributed mainly in the caudal area of these nuclei The double labeling cells were detected in bilateral ventrolateral divisions of periaqu- eductal gray, predominantly ipsilaterally. The double labeling cells observed in each rat were 26?9 ipsilaterally and 11?4 contralateraIly. The numbers of double labeling cells were 38% of the total counts of HRP-labeling cells in each side. These results above indicate that the thalamic ventral posterior nucleus receives afferent projections from midbrain raphe nuclei and ventrolateral division of periaqueductal gray and in the pathway, a part of substance P-positive neurons are exhibited. Therefore, this study provides evidence for existance ascending projection of substance P-like immunoreactivity.

Objective To observe the effects of Radix Angelica Sinensis ( RAS) on depression be-havior and cytokines,TNF-αand IL-6,in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of depression model rats in-duced by chronic unpredictable mild stress ( CUMS) .Methods 32 adult male rats weighting 140-160 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: Control,CUMS,CUMS+fluoxetine and CUMS+RAS groups.CUMS procedure went on 5 consecutive weeks and during the last 3 weeks the rats in CUMS+fluoxetine and CUMS+RAS groups were taken RAS or fluoxetine via intragastric administration.After 5-week CUMS procedure, rats were subjected to sucrose preference test,forced swimming test and open field test.After behavioral tests were finished,all rats were anesthetized with 10%chloral hydrate (350 mg/kg,intraperitoneal injection) and then decapitated.The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of rats were separated and ELISA was used to detect the expression of TNF-αand IL-6 in these regions.Results Comparing with control rats, rats exposed to CUMS showed decreased sucrose preference ratio((42±15)%),prolonged immobility time ((68.28±16.50) s),decreased crossing numbers (31.25±21.56) and increased TNF-α((206.14±30.53)pg/ml) and IL-6 ((369.51±103.81)pg/ml) expression in hippocampus and TNF-α((199.33±25.67)pg/ml) and IL-6 ((347.74±81.04) pg/ml) expression in prefrontal cortex ( P<0.01).However,RAS treated rats reversed the behavioral changes such as sucrose preference ratio((66±21)%),immobility time ((32.53±10.26)s) and crossing numbers ( 83.00 ±23.25 ) , meanwhile reduced TNF-α( ( 53.42 ±12.43 ) pg/ml ) and IL-6 ((93.84±13.19)pg/ml) expression in hippocampus,TNF-α((57.58±8.33)pg/ml) and IL-6((91.18± 17.37) pg/ml) expression in prefrontal cortex among stress rats ( P<0.01) .Conclusion RAS can amelio-rate CUMS induced depression behaviors of rats through regulating hippocampus and prefrontal cortex cyto-kines ( TNF-α,IL-6) .
