Objective To study the correlation between expression of mannose-ligand receptor(MR) on capacitated human sperm in vitro and acrosome reaction induced by zona pellucida(ZP). Methods The swimming-up sperms were incubated in capacitating medium BWW for 6 hours at 37℃, and then treated with solubilized mouse zona pellucida(mZPS).After an hour, the percentages of spermatozoa labeled with FITC-DMA were counted and used to show the expression of MR; the percentages of acrosome-reacted sperm visualized with fluoresceinated Pisum sativum agglutinin(PSA) were recorded. Results There is no correlation between expression of MR on capacitated human sperm in vitro and acrosome reaction induced by mZPS.Conclusion Expression of MR on capacitated human sperm in vitro might not be the essence of capacitation.;

Objective To investigate the effect of leptin on the secretion of chemokine in THP1 cells and explore its related mechanism, and to provide basis for research on the role of leptin in immune response.Methods The expressions of Ob-Rb and Ob-Rt in THP1 cells were detected by RT-PCR and flow cytometry (FCM).The THP1 cells at logarithm growth phase were selected and randomly divided into blank control group and different concentrations(10,50,100,200μg· L-1 )of leptin groups.Transwell chamber assay was performed to detect the number of invated THP1 cells.The THP1 cells were divided into blank control group and 100μg·L-1 leptin group.Western blotting method was carried out to detect the expressions of p-AKT,p-ERK 1/2,and p-STAT3 in THP1 cells.The THP1 cells were divided into blank control group and 100μg·L-1 leptin group,100μg·L-1 leptin+ DMSO group,100μg·L-1 leptin+50μmol·L-1 AG490 group,100μg·L-1 leptin+10μmol·L-1 LY294002 group and 100μg·L-1 leptin+ 10 mol·L-1 PD980590 group.RT-PCR and Western blotting methods were performed to detect the expression of IL-8.Results Ob-Rb and Ob-Rt were highly expressed in THP1 cells. Compared with blank control group,the number of invated THP1 cells was significantly increased in 50,100,and 200μg·L-1 leptin groups (P<0.05).Compared with blank control group,the expressions of p-STAT3,p-ERK 1/2 and p-AKT in THP1 cells were up-regulated in 100 ug·L-1 leptin group(P<0.05).Compared with blank control group,the mRNA and protein expressions of IL8 in THP1 cells in 50,100,and 200μg·L-1 leptin groups were remarkably increased(P<0.05);compared with 100μg·L-1 leptin group,the expressions of IL-8 in THP1 cells in 100μg·L-1 leptin+10 mol·L-1 PD980590 group and 100μg·L-1 leptin+10μmol·L-1 LY2 94002 group were decreased(P<0.05),while the expression of IL-8 in 100μg·L-1 leptin+ 50μmol·L-1 AG490 group had no change(P>0.05).Conclusion leptin can up-regulate the expression of chemokine in THP1 cells,which might be associated with PI3K-AKT and MAPK/ERK 1/2 signaling pathways.

Radiotherapy is one of the most important treatments of malignant tumors. However, after the radiotherapy combined with surgery and systemic therapy significantly improved the prognosis of cancer patients, somelong-term survivors after radiation exposure were diagnosed as second primary malignancies such as breast cancer, esophageal cancer, rectal cancer, bladder cancer, and sarcoma. This paper mainly discusses the radiotherapy-induced second primary neoplasms in terms of the dose-effect relationship, incubation period, influencing factors, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
