Objective To study the mechanism of anti-keratin autoantibodies (AK auto Ab) inhibiting the keratinocytes proliferation. Methods Keratinocytes from normal human skin and squamous cell carcinoma were cultured, then treated with AK auto Ab in different doses. MTT and immunohistochemical technologies were applied to test the proteins related to proliferation and apoptosis. Results AK could inhibit the proliferation of these two kinds of cells with a dose related effect. AK auto Ab could promote the expression of p53,c-myc, and inhibited the expression of PCNA. Conclusions The results indicate that AK auto Ab plays an important role in the proliferation of keratinocytes both from normal skin and from SCC.

Objective To compare the effects of point contact-dynamic compression plates (PC-DCP) and dynamic compression plates (DCP) on bone structure and mechanical properties of the plated bone in the intact goat tibia model. Methods Ten matured goats were used. The bilateral intact tibia of goats were fixed with DCP and PC-DCP respectively. The goats were sacrificed at 12 and 24 weeks after operation, and the tibiae were harvested. The structure of bone under plate was studied both by CT scan and histomorphology. The mechanical properties of the plated bone were examined by torsional test. Results At 12 weeks after internal fixation, there was obvious osteoporosis in the cortical bone underneath the plate in the DCP group compared with that of the PC-DCP group. Both of the cortical bone thickness underneath the plate and the torsion strength of the plated tibiae were significantly higher in the PC-DCP group than that in DCP group (P0.05). Conclusion The underlying bone resorption after rigid plate fixation is induced by both the disturbance of the bone blood supply and stress shielding. However, the former is the main cause in the early stage of fixation. PC-DCP is able to prevent bone resorption in the early stage of fixation.

Objective To explore the clinical application of endometrial scratching in patients with repeated implantation failure(RIF).Methods A total of 189 women with RIF who planned to undergo in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF‐ET)once again at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tongji Hospital ,Huazhong University of Science and Technology ,be‐tween October 2013 and August 2014 ,were prospectively examined.These women were infertile due to tubal factors ,with their male partners having normal semen measurements.According to the case numbers ,the 189 patients were randomly divided into experimental group(n=96)and control group(n=93).In the experimental group ,endometrial scratching was conducted within 6 h of one menstrual cycle one month before oocyte retrieval ,while in control group ,no endometrial scratching was performed at that time.The outcomes of pregnancy were compared between the two groups after embryo transplantation.Results There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the patient age ,infertility duration ,body mass index(BMI) ,basal levels of follicle‐stimulating hormone(FSH) ,luteinizing hormone(LH) ,and progesterone(P) ,gonadotropin‐releasing hormone(Gn‐RH) injection days and doses ,the number of retrieved oocytes ,the number of transferred embryos ,the endometrial thickness and lev‐els of estradiol(E2 )and P on the day of HCG injection(P>0.05).The embryo implantation rate ,the clinical pregnancy rate and the ongoing pregnancy rate in the experimental group were much higher than those in the control group ,with statistically signif‐icant difference noted(P<0.01).Conclusion The endometrial scratching can improve the endometrial receptivity and enhance the clinical pregnancy rate of RIF patients.

To investigate changes in density of platelet glycoprotein (GP)Ⅱb/Ⅲa receptor during the perioperative period of hepatectomy in rats with myocardial infarction. 26 adult SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: the control group(1)( n =13) and the infarction group(2)( n =13). Myocardial infarction was produced by celiac injection (1 time/d) of isoproterenol (30mg/kg) for 3 days. All rats underwent hepatectomy after 3 weeks. Platelet surface density of GPⅡb/Ⅲ receptors was determined by flow cytometric analysis before and 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours after the operation. 12 hours after the operation, the density of GPⅡb/Ⅲa was transiently increased compared with preoperative period in control group ( P

Objective To compare the effects of point contact-dynamic compression plates (PC-DCP) and dynamic compression plates (DCP) on cortical bone blood flow in an intact sheep tibia model. Methods Fifteen mature goats were used in this experiment. After the bilateral tibia of goats were fixed with DCP and PC-DCP respectively, the regional cortical bone blood flow was measured at four time intervals (1 day, 2, 6 and 12 weeks after operation) using radiolabelled microsphere technique. Results After operation, the cortical bone blood flow was acutely decreased at the first day, kept lower than normal level until six weeks and recovered at the 12th week. The blood supply under PC-DCP recovered to normal, even over normal level two weeks after operation and remained at a high level until 12 weeks. Conclusions PC-DCP can markedly protect cortical bone blood flow.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS) for bile duct stones by comparing between magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography ( MRCP), endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) and IDUS. Methods ERC was performed in 30 patients with suspected extrahepatic cholelithiotic after MRCP. IDUS was applied through guide wire after ERC, and stones were removed if necessary. Results MRCP detected bile duct stones in 22 cases, misdiagnosed bile duct floc as stones in 2 and missed stones in 2 others. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of MRCP in diagnosis of bile duct stone were 86. 7% (26/30), 91. 7% (22/24), and 66. 7% (4/6), respectively. ERC detected bile duct stones in 23 cases, misdiagnosed bile duct air bubble as stones in 2 and missed stones in 1. The accuracy , sensitivity and specificity of MRCP in diagnosis of bile duct stone were 90% (27/30), 92% (23/25) and 66.7% (4/6) , respectively. IDUS detected 24 cases of bile duct stones, 4 bile duct floc and 2 air bubble without any misdiagnosis. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of IDUS in diagnosis of bile duct stone were 100%. Conclusion IDUS, safe and reliable, is superior to ERC and MRCP in diagnosis of bile duct stone.

Aim To investigate the expression of Notch pathway and Nephrin in angiotensin Ⅱ ( AngⅡ)-stimulated mice podocyte. Methods Mice podo-cyte was stimulated by AngⅡ, and then was treated with valsartan. The levels of Notch1, Notch intracellu-lar domain 1 ( NICD1 ) , Hes1 and Nephrin were deter-mined by immunofluorescence, Western blot and Real-time PCR. Results AngⅡincreased Notch1, NICD1 and Hes1 expression, and decreased Nephrin expres-sion in a time-dependent manner ( P<0. 01 ) . Valsar-tan inhibited AngⅡ-induced activation of Notch path-way and enhanced Nephrin level ( P <0. 01 ) . Con-clusion AngⅡdecreases Nephrin expression in podo-cyte by activating Notch pathway.

Methods Rats were given a gavage with loganin. The urine samples were prepared by use of solid phase extraction (SPE). The chromatographic separation was performed on an UPLC C18 column with gradient elution program of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid aqueous as mobile phase. Dynamic background subtraction (DBS) technology was employed to trigger information dependent acquisition (IDA) to obtain the characteristic fragment ions of metabolites. Results MetabolitePilot software including several data processing methods were employed to speculate the structures of liganin metabolites and three metabolites were identified. Then, the metabolic pathway of loganin in rats was summarized. Conclusion The analytical method was simple, credible and highly-sensible, which is useful for screening and identifying trace constituents in vivo.
