A reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous analysis of 23 kinds of phenolic components in water extract of porpolis (WEP) was developed. The separation was performed on ZORBAX Eclipse XDB C_(18) column (150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) by gradient elution. The mobile phase consisted of ethanol with 0.1% formic acid at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were 256 and 280 nm. The injection volume was 20 μL, and the column temperature was maintained at 35 ℃. The method showed good linear relationship, precision and repeatability. The recoveries were between 93.3% and 106.6%. Eighteen Reference compounds were detected in WEP of Hehei by this method. The content of Catechin was the highest(30.50 mg/g), the next was 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (15.41 mg/g). Nine Reference compounds were detected in WEP of Yunnan. The content of catechin was also the highest (11.23 mg/g), the next was chrysin (15.41 mg/g). Similarity of WEPs between the products of Hebei and Yunnan were 0.099 (256 nm) and 0.194 (280 nm). The chemical compositions of two WEPs were remarkably different.

[Objective] The present study aimed to determine the protective role of Melatonin (MT) against Acrylamide (AA)-induced testicular toxicity and the potential molecular mechanism.[Methods] The animals were randomly divided into three groups,the control group (n =12),the AA group (n =12) and the AA+MT group (n =12).The rats in the AA and AA + MT group were gavaged with AA at a dose of 15 mg/(kg · day) for 4 consecutive weeks.After 3 weeks of AA treatment,MT was intraperitoneally injected 30 minutes before AA treatment at 10 mg/(kg· day) for 1 week in the AA + MT rats.Subsequently,the mitochondrial membrane potential measurement,TUNEL assay,Western blot and electron microscopic techniques were applied in the present study.[Results] The results showed that AA could decrease the testis mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0.05) which could be recovered by MT (P < 0.05).Moreover,MT induced down-regulation of Bax expression and up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression in the testis,compared with AA rats.The amelioration of testicular apoptosis was further confirmed by the TUNEL labeling.Western blot results suggested that the decreased ratios of Bcl-2/Bax and Bcl-xL/Bak in the AA group (both P < 0.05) could be recovered by MT treatment (both P < 0.05).The levels of Cyt-c,Casp-3,p53 and NF-κB in AA group were markedly elevated compared with the control (all P < 0.05),and reduced in MT treatment group (all P < 0.05).MT could relieve abnormal mitochondrial structures in the seminiferous tubule in the electron microscopic level.[Conclusion] MT may exert productive effect through its anti-apoptotic properties associated with mitochondria.

Objective To investigate the association of PR gene exon 5 region H770H (rs1042839) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the genetic susceptibility to endometriosis (EM) in southern Han Chinese women. Methods Totally 431 EM patients and 499 non-EM women were collected and separated into EM group and control group, that all cases were confirmed by operation and pathology. A case-control study was performed in EM and control groups to evaluate the association of these SNP with the susceptibility to EM by using a fluorescent quantitative PCR-based high resolution melting (HRM) method. Results The C and T of PR H770H allele frequencies among the EM and control groups were 97.9%(844/862), 2.1% (18/862) and 99.4% (992/998), 0.6% (6/998), respectively. The CC, CT and TT of PR H770H genotype frequencies among the EM and control groups were 95.8%(413/431), 4.2%(18/431), 0 and 98.8%(493/499), 1.2%(6/499), 0, respectively. There were statistical significances in the PR H770H alleles and genotypes distributions between the two groups (χ2=7.386, P=0.007;χ2=8.135, P=0.004). Carrying allele C reduced the risk of EM (OR=0.986, 95%CI: 0.976-0.996), while carrying allele T enhanced the risk of EM (OR=3.319, 95%CI: 1.323-8.325); carrying genotype CC reduced the risk of EM 0.970 time (OR=0.970, 95%CI: 0.949-0.991), whereas carrying genotype CT enhanced the risk of EM 3.473 times (OR=3.473, 95%CI:1.391-8.671). Conclusion There is significant association between the polymorphism of PR H770H and genetic susceptibility to EM in southern Han Chinese women.

Objective:
To explore the effects of macrophages with high expression of TL1A on the activation and proliferation of HSCs in vitro.
Methods:
The Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and peritoneal macrophages (PMs) from wild type (WT) and myeloid-overexpressed TL1A transgenic mice were isolated, differentiated and activated. HSCs were harvested from activated macrophages culture supernatant (CM). HSCs were detected by immunofluorescence and real-time Q-PCR. And the proliferation was detected by CCK-8 and BrdU assay kit. The levels of IL-1β and PDGF-BB in macrophage culture supernatants were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results:
BMMs-derived CM-intervention HSCs were used to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day respectively by immunofluorescence method. There was no significant difference between the two groups on the 2 nd and the 6th day,
