AIM: To investigate the effect of IL-10 on IL-1?-induced prostaglandin E 2(PGE 2) release and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) expression in human mesangial cells and to examine whether IL-10 has effect on the biological function of IL-1?.METHODS: The PGE 2 concentration in supernatants of HMC was measured by radioimmunoassay. The COX-2 mRNA and protein were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: PGE 2 and COX-2 were significantly increased after treatment with IL-1?( P0.05 , respectively), while it inhibited IL-1?-elicited PGE 2 production, as well as COX-2 mRNA and protein expression in a concentration-dependent fashion. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicated that IL-10 depressed the IL-1?-induced release of PGE 2 and expression of COX-2. These data suggested that IL-10 could exert anti-inflammatory actions at several levels, not only by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines but also by suppressing their biological function.

Objective: To study the relationship between plasma level of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and ventricular diastolic dysfunction in elder hypertensive patients without target organ damage.
Methods: A total of 66 relevant patients treated in our hospital from 2012-03 to 2014-03 were studied. According to the standard of ventricular diastolic dysfunction, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Study group, n=27 patients with diastolic dysfunction and Control group, n=39 patients without diastolic dysfunction. The patients in Study group were further divided into 3 sub-groups based on Doppler classification of diastolic dysfunction:Grade 1, the patients with E/A<1.0, DT≥240 ms, IVRT>90 ms, n=8. Grade 2, the patients with E/A>1.5, DT (150-220) ms, IVRT<90 ms, n=13. Grade 3-4, the patients with E/A>1.5, DT≤150 ms, IVRT<70 ms, n=6. Plasma levels of NT-proBNP and Doppler ultrasound findings were compared to study the relationship between
NT-proBNP and ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
Results: Plasma level of NT-proBNP was higher in Study group than that in Control group. NT-proBNP level in Grade 3-4 sub-group was obviously higher than those in Grade 1 and Grade 2 sub-groups, NT-proBNP level in Grade 2 sub-group was higher than that in Grade 1 sub-group. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that NT-proBNP level was positively related to systolic blood pressure, diastolic function and E/E’ (r=0.211, P=0.037, r=0.442, P=0.004 and r=0.556, P=0.000), while negatively related to E’/A’ (r=-0.372, P=0.000).
Conclusion: The increased plasma level of NT-proBNP are highly support for ventricular diastolic dysfunction in elder hypertensive patients without target organ damage, NT-proBNP level is related to ventricular diastolic function.

BACKGROUND: Scholars disagree with each other about the small saphenous vein effects on skin flap and how to dispose vascular proximal pedicles.OBJECTIVE: To analyze effects of different methods of the small saphenous vein disposal on flap survival using sural neurocutaneous island flap retrograde metastasis for repairing defects of soft tissue of instep, heelstick and ankle.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The case control observation experiment was performed at the General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from March 1998 to April 2007.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 56 patients with defects of soft tissue of instep, heelstick and ankle were divided into 2 groups,small sapbenous vein deligation in proximal pedicle flap group (group A) (n=38), and proximal small saphenous vein and great saphenous vein or tributaries at recipient site anastomosis flap group (group B) (n=18).METHODS: During sural neurocutaneous island flap retrograde metastasis for repair,(3.5×4.0)cm-(4.0×4.5) cm flap was obtained in 35 cases, and (4.0×4.5) cm -(10.0×12.0) cm in 21 cases.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Outcome of flap survival at different incision area and implanted methods.RESULTS: No vein articulo occurred in 21 cases, which flap areas were (4.0×4.5) cm -(10.0×12.0) cm. Five of 35 cases which flap areas were (3.5×4.0) cm -(4.0×4.5) cm developed vein articulo.The necrotic rate of flaps in group B was significantly lower compared to the group A (P=0.017 67).CONCLUSION: When the area of skin flap is smaller than (4.0×4.5) cm, the proximal end of the small saphenous vein should be anastomosed with the great saphenous vein or tributaries connecting with the great saphenous vein at recipient site.The small saphenous vein is not a superficial vein, which only cross the skin flap, but it has trophic action on the skin flap.

Objective: To investigate expression of TRAP in human tumors and correlativity between TRAP and hTERT and to explore the role of TRAP in tumorigenesis. Methods: TRAP was expressed in E.coli . and polyclonal antibody was prepared by immunization of New Zealand rabbits. Expressions of TRAP gene and hTERT in human tumors were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The eukaryotic expression vectors of TRAP were constructed and transferred stably into HeLa cells to be analysed with Northern blot, TRAP PCR ELISA, growth curve, nude mouse transplantation. Results: Polyclonal antibody was obtained from New Zealand rabbits immunized with TRAP fuse protein, which was inducibly expressed in E.coli ., and its specificity was verified in Western blot. TRAP staining was detected in 213 (86.2%)of 247 malignant tumors. On the contrary, TRAP in all tissues adjacent to tumors was negative.There is a obvious difference between borderline,pre cancerous and benign lesion in the expression of TRAP.Furthermore, hTERT staining was conducted and its result was consistent with that of TRAP. Up regulation and down regulation of hTERT expression and telomerase activity were observed respectively in HeLa cells transfected stably with sense and antisence TRAP recombination. Increased proliferation presented in the former and growth inhibition in the latter. Besides, in nude mice, tumorigenecity of sense TRAP transfected HeLa cells was enhanced while tumor growth of antisense TRAP transfected HeLa cells was retarded. Conclusion: The expression of TRAP, which could be detected in most of human cancers and part of pre cancerous lesions, was correlated with expression of hTERT. The status of TRAP expression could regulate telomerase activity and present effects on growth and tumorigeneity of cancer cells. This suggests that TRAP is involved in human tumorigenesis through regulation of telermarase activity.

AIM: To investigate the role of NF-?B/I?B signal pathway in the regulation of (cyclooxygenase-2) (COX-2) expression in human mesangial cells (HMC). METHODS: The PGE_2 concentration in supernatants of HMC was measured by radioimmunoassay. COX-2 mRNA and protein expression were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and Western blot were used to detect the activity of NF-?B and degradation of I?B. RESULTS: IL-1? significantly upregulated COX-2 expression and PGE_2 production in HMC. Significant up-regulation of NF-?B activation, nuclear translocation of p65 subunit, and degradation of I?B ? and I?B ? were observed in IL-1?-induced HMC. CONCLUSION: Expression of COX-2 in IL-1?-induced HMC is mediated by NF-?B/I?B signal pathway. [

Objective:To investigate the effect of the expression levels of CXCL12 and CXCR4 of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneu-moperitoneum on nude mice xenografts from human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells in the same pressure at different times. Methods:A total of 40 animal models of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cell-bearing nude mice xenografts were established. The animals were ran-domly divided into four groups (n=10), namely, the simple anesthesia group, 0.5 h laparotomy group, and 0.5 and 1 h CO2 pneumoperi-toneum groups. After the aforementioned treatments in the groups, the expression levels of CXCL12 and CXCR4 mRNAs of tumor tis-sues were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), whereas those of the CXCL12 and CXCR4 proteins were detected by Western blot. Results:The 40 animal models of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cell-bearing nude mice were success-fully established. After the treatment, RT-PCR results reveal that the CXCL12 mRNA expression was significantly higher in the 1 h CO2 pneumoperitoneum group than that in the other three groups. However, no differences were observed in the CXCR4 mRNA expression of each group. Western blot analysis also obtained the same results. Conclusion:The expression level of CXCL12 in SKOV3 cells of the 1 h CO2 pneumoperitoneum group increased, which possibly promoted the growth of peritoneal tumors, and had a slight effect on tu-mor metastasis.
