The trophoblast is fetal-derived and in direct contact with maternal tissues. The expression of the various types of MHC antigen in trophoblast cells is very important for successful pregnancy. Among nonclassical MHC class Ⅰ antigens, HLA-G is expressed specifically on cytotrophoblast cells and its expression protects the fetal from maternal immune attack. The expression of the distinct subtypes of classical MHC class Ⅰ antigen is different in different subtypes of trophoblast cells. The expression of MHC class Ⅱ antigen is inhibited in trophoblast during pregnancy. It is suggested that C Ⅱ TA plays an important role in regulation of MHC class Ⅱ gene expression.

AlM:To discuss the feasibility of microcoria optometry in screening for children ametropia. METHODS: Totally 217 school - age children were selected, included 94 first-grade students ( 6 ~ 8 years old) and 123 fourth-grade students ( 9 ~12 years old ) . Refractive diopter was measured with automatic refractor RM-8000 to evaluate the accuracy of micocoria optometry in screening ametropia.RESULTS: After cycloplegia, both the mean sphere diopter and cylinder diopter in grade one students changed significantly (P<0. 05), the mean sphere diopter in grade four students changed significantly (P<0. 05), while the mean cylinder diopter had no statistical difference ( P>0. 05 ) in grade four students. Different refractive type: before and after mydriasis spherical myopia, spherical equivalent difference was 0. 263 ± 0. 618 and 0.216±0.653D, with statistical significance (P<0.01);ln hyperopia group, spherical myopia, spherical equivalent difference was 0. 947±0. 946 and 1. 039±0. 984D, with statistical significance ( P = 0. 000 ). The lenticular difference between the two groups were not statistically different ( P > 0. 05 ). Choosing small pupil computer optometry for ≤- 1. 00D, ≥- 0. 50D child myopia or hyperopia could get more accurate value of diagnostic cutoffs, Youden index was 0. 672 and 0. 580. CONCLUSlON: Microcoria optometry can be as a effective method of screening of children with ametropia, but if for optometry, school-age children must accept mydriasis.

The host protein SAMHD1 has been identified as the first mammalian deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase (dNTPase), which blocks the infection of HIV-1 in non-cycling immune cells.SAMHD1 protein is highly expressed in human myeloid-lineage cells and resting CD4+T lymphocytes, which restricts HIV-1 replication by hydrolyzing the cellular dNTPs, thus inhibiting reverse transcription and viral complementary DNA ( cDNA) synthesis. Recent studies have revealed that SAMHD 1 plays an important role in virus whole life by promoting HIV -1 genome recombination, degenerating viral genome RNA and restricting virus transmission between cells .In this review, these progress on SAMHD1 research are summarized and the mechanisms by which SAMHD 1 mediates retroviral restriction are analyzed .
5.Effects of Chronic Stress on the Expression of Bcl-xl in Hippocampus of the Rats
Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 1993;0(02):-
Objective: To observe the changes of Bcl-xl expression in hippocampus of the rats with the forced-swimming and the changes of Bcl-xl after poststress. Methods: The protocol was established with the forced-swimming as the chronic stress model. Open-field test was executed to measure the behaviors of the rats. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the changes of Bcl-xl expression in the hippocampus. Results: Compared to the control group,the expression of Bcl-xl in CA3 region of the hippocampus and dendate gyrus(DG)of the rats was decreased morphologically. With the computerized image analysis, the gray degree increased significantly (P

BACKGROUND: Studies have confirmed that Atorvastatin drugs can increase the number of endothelial progenitor cells significantly in vitro, as well as the content of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Atorvastatin on VEGF expression in necrotic femoral heads of rabbits. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, from September 2007 to November 2008. MATERIALS: Forty-five male and female healthy New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.5-3.5 kg were randomly divided into normal control group, model control group and AtorvastaUn group, 15 rabbits in each group. METHODS: Nitrogen refrigeration was used to develop femoral head necrosis models of rabbits in the model control and Atorvastatin groups. Two weeks after modeling, the animals in the Atorvastatin group were administered intragastically with Atorvastatin, normal control and model control group were treated with the same volume of normal saline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Each five rabbits were sacrificed at the 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks respectively for general observation, X-ray and histological observation. VEGF protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry method and VEGF mRNA level was assessed by reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction method. RESULTS: The VEGF protein and mRNA levels in the model control and Atorvastatin groups were obviously lower than those in the normal control group, while the VEGF protein and mRNA levels in the Atorvastatin group were much higher than those in the model control group at the 8th and 12th weeks alter the treatment with Atorvastatin (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Atorvastatin can significantly upregulate the expression of VEGF, which is probably an effective clinical treatment to avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

The mucous barrier is a major physiological obstacle that the mucosal drug delivery system needs to deal with. In response to this physiological barrier, many achievements have been made in research of mucosal adhesion and mucus penetration. This review puts emphasis on the progress of the research on new mucosal adhesion strategies such as cationization, sulfhydrylization, maleimide functionalization, lectinization and catechol conjugation; polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), poly (2-alkyl-2-oxazoline) (POZ), zwitterionic polymers and other mucus-inert materials, strategies to enhance mucus penetration ability such as enzyme functionalization, reducing agent pretreatment and so on. The problems of each strategy are also analyzed and discussed, which can provide some references for clinical transformation.

Objective To explore the protective effect of Tea polyphenols(TP) on radiation injury in submandibular glands. Methods Sixty rats were randomly divided into radiation group(R-group) and tea polyphenols combined radiation group (TPR-group), both groups were irradiated with a single exposure of 15 Gy γ-rays delivered to the head and neck area. The rats were intragastrically administered with normal sodium or TP from 14 days before radiation to the experiment ended. On day 3, day 6 and day 30 after radiation, ten submandibular glands glands were taken from each groups. TUNEL method was used to examine the apoptosis of submandibular glands cells and immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the Bcl-2 and the Bax expression in the glands. The morphologic changes of submandibular glands were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results Apoptosis index in the cell of submandibular glands were significant decreased on days 3, days 6 and days 30 after irradiation, compared with R-group ( F = 56.383, P < 0.01 ). Expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were not significant difference between the two groups. The lesions of submandibular glands in TPR-group were lighter and the apoptosis in cell nuclear were not typical than that of R-group from electron microscope study. Conclusion TP could protect the sumandibular glands against radiation injuries and the mechanism might be realized with the anti-apoptosis in the glands cell.
