The purpose of the present study was to assess the correlation that likely exists among increased portal pressure (Pp), portal blood flow quantity (Qp) and ETA and ETB receptor mRNA expression in human cirrhosis. In situ hybridization and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) were performed to determined the expression of ETA and ETB receptor mRNA in liver tissues from traumatic subjects (n = 10) and cirrhotic patients (n = 15) in whom hepatic hemodynamic values were measured. The expression of the two transcripts was significantly higher in liver samples of cirrhotic patients than in those obtained from traumatic subjects. It has shown that ETA receptor mRNA predominantly located in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and vascular smooth muscle cells of intrahepatic arteries and portal veins, ETB receptor mRNA in HSCs, sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kuppfer cells. There was a highly significant direct relationship between ETA and ETB receptor mRNA and Pp and Qp in cirrhotic patients. It suggests that liver paracrine endothelin system may be overactivated in human cirrhosis accompanied with increased expression of ETA and ETB receptor mRNA which may play an important role in the pathogenesis and maintenance of splanchnic hyperdynamics.

Objedive To observe the effect of microRNA-29c cm the proliferalion and invasion abililies of hirman prostate carreer cell litre LNCaP, and to discijss its potetrlial applicasion. Methods The difference in miR-29c expression between ADPC (androgen-dependent prostate cancer) and AIPC (androgen-independent prostate cancer)cell lines was observed by real time RT-PCR.MiR-29c-inhibitor (anti-miR-29c) was used to decrease miR-29 cexpression in LNCaP cells; then the cell proliferation was examined with CCK-8 assay, the cell cycle was analyzed using flow cytometry, and the invasive abilities of LNCaP cells were observed by transwell invasion assay before and after treatment with anti-miR-29c.Results The result of real-timeRT- PCR showed that miR-29c expression in LNCaP-AI cells was significantly lower than that in LNCaP cells (P<0.05).Down- expression of miR-29c in LNCaP cells significantly promoted the proliferation and invasion abilities of LNCaP cells (P<0.05). Conclusion Normal expression of miR-29c plays an inhibitory role in the proliferation and invasion of LNCaP cells, in dicating it might be a new target for biotherapy of prostate cancer.

Objective To observe the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on osteogenic differentiation abili?ty and cell proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs), and to explore the role of bFGF on the process of osteogenic differencitiaion in vitro. Methods HGFs were cultured in vitro until the 3rd passage when they were divided into four groups:normal medium as group 1, normal medium with 10μg/L bFGF as group 2, osteogenic medium as group 3 and osteo?genic medium with 10μg/L bFGF as group 4. MTT assay was used to evaluate the proliferation of HGFs. Alkaline phospha?tase (ALP) staining and Alizarin red staining were applied to investigate osteogenic potential of HGFs under different culture conditions. Results bFGF at concentration of 10 μg/L could increase HGFs proliferation in both normal and osteogenic medium (P<0.01). HGFs could be induced towards osteogenic differentiation and form mineralized nodule in osteogenic me?dium. However, 10μg/L bFGF had no effects on ALP activity and mineralized nodule formation of HGFs during osteogenic differentiation. Conclusion bFGF could promote the proliferation of HGFs but show no effects on osteogenic differentiation of HGFs at concentration of 10μg/L.

Objective Increased morbidity of auto-immune disease in senescent individual might be related with the defects of apoptosis after stimulation or induction. Changes of apoptotic features in splenic T lymphocytes were studied in senescent mice. Methods Flow cytometry was used to study the rates of apoptosis by analysing sub-G 1 peak. DNA ladder was observed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Free calcium levels in both cells were detected by Fluo-3 loading. Bcl-2 protein levels were detected by Western blot. Results After co-stimulation with IL-2/ConA, flow cytometry showed that average apoptotic percentage of old T cells was 38.3% ?10.3%,significantly lower than that of young ones (58.6% ? 4.0%, P

As an important material in pharmaceutical and chemical industry, β-alanine was mainly produced by chemical methods. L-aspartate-α-decarboxylase could catalyze the α-decarboxylation from L-aspartate to β-alanine. Determinations for specific activities of PanDs from Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium glutamicum and Bacillus subtilis were performed in this study (0.98 U/mg, 7.52 U/mg and 8.4 U/mg respectively). The optimal temperature and pH of PanDs from C. glutamicum and B. subtilis were 65 degrees C, pH 6.5 and 60 degrees C, pH 6.5 respectively. According to our research, PanD from B. subtilis could be more appropriate for industrial application because of the higher activity and thermostability when compared to PanDs from E. coli and C. glutamicum which had been the most studied. We also analyzed and discussed the special post-translation self-cleavage phenomenon and the mechanism based inactivation.

BACKGROUND: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) with limited karyocytes is mainly used in child patients. Recently, physicians have tried to mix two units of cord blood in the treatment of adults with hematological system diseases.OBJECTIVE: To monitor quantitatively the dynamic changes and the development rules of engraftment, chimera types and relative amount after allogeneic transplantation of mixed UCB from two units in adults with leukemia.DESIGN: Donors and the recipient were regarded as observational subjects in umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). DNA extracted from blood samples of donors and the recipient before and after transplantation was considered as detecting samples. Short tandem repeat (STR) loci were as observational measures.SETTING: Key Laboratory of Immunology and Genetics of Institute of Transfusion Medicine of Shenzhen Blood Center.PARTICIPANT: A 43-year male patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 75 kg, who was hospitalized at Shenzhen Hospital of Peking University, was enrolled in June 2005. The patient received two units of human leucocyte antigen (HLA), one locus mismatched unrelated UCBT (2.5×107 kg-1 karyocytes in UCB 1, and 1.53×107 kg-1 karyocytes in UCB 2) at month 6 after complete remission from first chemotherapy. UCB was collected from Guangzhou umbilical cord blood bank. The patient signed the informed consent.METHODS: The adult with AML received two units of HLA, one locus mismatched unrelated UCBT (2.5×107 kg-1 karyocytes in UCB 1, and 1.53×107 kg-1 karyocytes in UCB 2). Nine STR loci of the blood sample were determined before and after transplantation by quantitative technique of fluorescence labeling with multiplex polymerase chain reaction (MPCR), while the engraftment and chimera types were qualitatively evaluated by comparing differential loci between the recipient and the donors. The relative amount of two units of UCB was calculated in the patient after transplantation according to the differential gene peak areas of two donors with 377XL DNA sequencer after fluorescence scanning. The engraftment level and the development rules of donors' cells were analyzed quantitatively. In addition, the results were also compared with that of HLA loci distinct analysis for engraftment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After UCBT, transition process of nine STR loci of the recipient and two donors was observed, and engraftment was quantitatively and qualitatively described.RESULTS: Two units of UCB at day 15 after transplantation were engrafted simultaneously and revealed a complete chimera of the two. The relative amounts of UCB 1 and UCB 2 were 51.3% and 48.7%, respectively. Subsequently, UCB 1 went up to 70.0% and UCB 2 declined to 30.0% at day 30. However, only the genotype of UCB 1 was detected at day 52, and engraftment turned to a complete chimera of a single donor. The one with fewer karyocytes was rejected and the one with more karyocytes was engrafted for a long term.CONCLUSION: To detect quantitatively STR chimera with fluorescence labeling and MPCR can show precisely the engraftment level and the change of two units of UCB. It provides an accurate and reliable experimental basis for clinical UCB application and donor selection. It is proved that adult transplantation at the same time with mixed UCB from two units HLA one locus mismatched unrelated donors is feasible.
