Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(12):1633-1634
Objective To investigate the possibility of gestational body weight intervention and its influence on pregnancy outcomes.Methods 300 healthy primiparae with normal pregestational BMI and living monoeyesis and head presentation were randomly divided into the observation group (n = 120) and control group ( n = 180).Both groups were received general health education and regular obstetric examination, in addition, the observation group received body weight intervention.The data about changes in BMI and body weight from pregestation to ante partum were collected and pregnancy outcomes were assessed.Results The incidence of △ BMI≥6,gestensive hypertension, diabetes, cesarean section,large-for-date infant,intrauterine fetal distress,postparum hemorrhage in the observation group was significantly lower than those of the control group( x2 = 19.265,4.903,6.875,13.522,7.354,4.545,3.993, all P < 0.05).Conclusion Body weight intervention had a preferable feasibility and could improve pregnancy outcome.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Akt inhibitor MK-2206 on the proliferation and apoptosis of lung adenocarcino-ma A549 cells. METHODS:The optical density of A549 cells was detected by MTT assay after treated with 0(blank control),0.5, 1,2.5,5,10,20 and 30 μmol/L MK-2206 for 24 h;after pretreatment with 0(blank control),5,10 and 20 μmol/L MK-2206 for 24 h,morphological changes of A549 cells were observed with inverted microscope. Cell cycle and apoptosis rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the expression of cell cycle-related proteins Cyclin D1,p21 and p27 and apopto-sis-related protein PARP(cf-PARP),cf-caspase-3,Bcl-2 and Bax. RESULTS:Compared with blank control,the optical density of A549 cells decreased,cells shrank and presented vesicular state after treatment of MK-2206;A549 cells arrested in G0/G1 stage, the protein expression of p21 and p27 strengthened while that of Cyclin D1 decreased;the apoptotic rate of cells increased,the ex-pression of cf-PARP,cf-caspase-3 and Bax in cells increased while that of Bcl-2 decreased. All reponse were in concentration-de-pendant manner (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:MK-2206 can inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells,and induce the apoptosis of A549 cells by adjusting the expression of activating caspase-3,down-regulating Bcl-2 and up-regulating Bax.

Objective To investigate the genetic association between polymorphisms of Ser447Stop in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene and ischemic stroke. MethodsA case-control study was performed in 563 acute ischemic stroke patients and 320 controls. LPL Ser447Stop genotypes in the subjects were detected by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. The frequencies of the alleles in each group were statistically analyzed with Student t-test. ResultsNo significant difference was found in the frequency of G allele of LPL Ser447Stop polymorphism between the case and the control. When subjects were divided into 2 subgroups of cerebral thrombosis infarction and lacunar infarction, the frequency of G allele was significantly higher in the cerebral thrombosis infarction group (9. 7% ) than that in the control (6. 6%, χ2= 3. 99,P = 0. 045 ), and an increased risk for thrombosis infarction was suggested in the G allele ( OR = 1. 510, 95% CI 1. 012--2. 261 ). ConclusionThe G allele in polyim Ser447Stop in LPL may be associated with increased risk of cerebral thrombosis infarction.

Objective To investigate the role of pathogenic Leptospira interrogans lipopolysaccha-ride (L-LPS) and outer membrane proteins (L-OMP) in the apoptosis of mouse macrophages (J774A.1) and their association with Fas/FasL pathway .Methods Phenol-water extraction and Triton X-114 phase separation were used to extract L-LPS and L-OMP from L.interrogans serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Lai strain Lai, respectively.Polymyxin B ( PMB) and protease K ( PK) were used to treat L-LPS and L-OMP, respectively.J774A.1 cells were stimulated by L.interrogans strain Lai with or without ultraviolet inactivation.In parallel, the cells were stimulated by extracted L-LPS and L-OMP with or without PMB and PK treatments .The apoptosis and necrosis of J 774 A.1 cells before and after treatment were detected by flow cytometry.The siRNAs were used to silence the expression of Fas or FasL gene in J 774A.1 cells and their inhibitory effects were further validated by using real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR.Flow cytometry was used to detect the effects of L-LPS or L-OMP on the apoptosis of J774A.1 cells with Fas or FasL gene-knockdown .Results L.interrogans strain Lai with or without ultraviolet inactivation could cause similar early apoptosis rates (47.1%and 55.6%) and late apoptosis/necrosis rates (7.6%and 7.9%).The ear-ly apoptosis rates of 1×105 J774A.1 cells were 40.4%and 34.0%after the treatment with 100 ng of L-LPS and 100 μg of L-OMP for 4 h.The late apoptosis/necrosis rates of the cells were 7.5%and 6.9%upon the treatments with L-LPS and L-OMP, respectively.However, the apoptosis or necrosis of the cells was not ob-served when using L-LPS and L-OMP pre-treated by PMB and PK, respectively.Silenced expression of Fas or FasL gene reduced the L-LPS-induced J774A.1 cells apoptosis (P<0.05), while decreased early apopto-sis rate of J774A.1 cells mediated by L-OMP was only observed in Fas gene-knockdown cells (P<0.05). Conclusion Both L-LPS and L-OMP can cause the Fas/FasL-associated apoptosis of macrophages , which is beneficial for L.interrogans to establish the productive infection in hosts .
