Objective:To investigate the role of glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78) and caspase-9 and-12 in intrauterine distress-induced hypoxic-ischemic cerebral damage in fetal rats.Methods:The fetal rat model of intrauterine distress was constructed and the fetal rats were randomly divided into a normal,a sham operation and an ischemia-reperfusion(IR) group.Neuron apoptosis was analyzed by in situ end-labeled DNA(TUNEL).The expressions of caspase-9 and-12 and GRP78 proteins in the hippocampus CA1 area were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results:Ischemia-reperfusion damage induced classic neuron apoptosis and the number of the apoptotic neurons in the hippocampus CA1 area increased with the progression of reperfusion.The expressions of GRP78 and caspase-9 and-12 were weak in the normal and sham operation group.In the IR group,the expression of GRP78 reached the peak value 3 hours after the reperfusion and then decreased gradually;the intensity of caspase-12 was increased rapidly while that of caspase-9 elevated very little within 3 hours,but both reached the peak value at 12 hours.Conclusion:Intrauterine distress-induced hypoxic-ischemic cerebral damage in fetal rats may trigger the homeostatic control system in the endoplasmic reticulum through the increased expression of GRP78.The apoptotic pathway mediated by caspase-12 in the endoplasmic reticulum may be one of the mechanisms underlying cerebral ischemic injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of immunosuppressive drugs on the activity of pancreatic islet cells, and to explore their role in islet allotransplantation. Method Human pancreatic islet cells were isolated and purified in vitro, and their activity was determined by MTT assay after incubation with immunosuppressive drugs in different concentrations. Results The activity of the islet cells was not reduced after exposure to rapamycin at lower concentrations, although exposure to rapamycin at higher concentrations (≥1ng/ml) was associated with a significant inhibition of activity. No reduction of islet cell activity was observed after exposure to daclizumab and FTY720, at either lower or higher concentrations. Conclusion Rapamycin acts to damage islet cells directly, and the degree of the damage was concentration-dependent. No obvious toxicity to the islet cells was observed after exposure to daclizumab and FTY720.

Aiming at the cropping operations widely applied in practical industry production, a new method of bar cropping is presented. The rotational speeds of actuating motor of eccentric blocks are controlled by a frequency-changer, and the shearing die provides the bar with the controllable force, frequency and amplitude of vibration. By utilizing the stress concentration at the bottom of V shape groove on the bar, the low stress bar cropping is realized. The bar cropping experiments of duralumin alloy and steel show that the shear surface has no radial distortion and deviation angle, the cutting force is lower and the die life is longer compared with the common bar cropping method. According to the special feature of cutting surface obtained by the new method, a new method of measurement is proposed and applied to assess the cutting surfaces obtained by the different control curves of frequency. The results show that the linear decrease control method is the best.
