Objective To investigate the clinical significance between congestive heart failure (CHF) and serum thyroxine. Methods 50 patients with CHF (7 cases of grade Ⅱ heart function,grade Ⅲ 19 cases,grade Ⅳ 24)and 30 normal persons wre selected. The serum triiodothyronine( T3 ), four-triiodothyronine( T4 ), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free triiodothyronine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone TSH were determined by radioimmunoassay. Results The T3, FT3 contens ( 1.95 ± 0.55) nmol/L, (2.20 ± 0.39 ) pmol/L in CHF group were lower than the control group (2.4 ± 0.50) nmol/L, ( 5.89 ± 0. 45 ) pmol/L ( t = 2. 415,2. 325, P < 0.05 ); The T3, FT3 contens ( 2.19 ± 0. 53 )nmol/L,(3.69 ± 0.57)pmol/L after treatment were significantly higher than that before treatment (t =2. 375,2. 405, P < 0.05 ); The T3, FT3 contens in cardiac function with stage Ⅳ ( 1.76 ± 0.7) nmol/L, ( 1.99 ± 0. 45 ) pmol/L were significantly lower than the control group( t = 2.245,2. 375, P < 0.05 ); Serum TT3, TT4 and cardiac function was negatively correlated ( r = -0.933, -0.383, all P < 0.05 ) , serum FT3, FT4,TSH and cardiac function were not correlated. Conclusion The changes of serum thyroid level could be used as an index of the severity of heart failure.

Objective To explore the intervention effects of trichostatin A ( TSA ) on specialization of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs ) .Methods The rat MSCs were isolated, cultured and purified by the whole bone marrow adherent method in vitro, with morphological observation.The third generation of MSCs were selected, directional induced to osteoblasts, and divided into the TSA low dose group (0.1μmol/L), middle dose group (1μmol/L) , the high dose group (10μmol/L) according to different drug concentrations, seting up blank control group at the same time.MSCs proliferation and cell growth curve of each group were drawn by MMT, the activity of alkaliphosphatase ( ALP) was detected, and the levels of corebinding factor α1 (Cbfα1), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factors-1 (IGF-1) mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results The trend of MSCs growth curves in each groups were similar, compared with control group, the growth curve of TSA low dose group had no significant change, the TSA middle dose and high dose significantly promoted the proliferation of MSCs (P<0.05).Compared with control group, ALP activity of TSA low-, middle-and high-dose group were significantly higher at 4th,5th,6th(P<0.05).The expression levels of Cbfα1, bFGF and IGF-1mRNA were significantly higher than those of control group, respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion TSA can significantly promote the rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblast, which is possibly associated with up-regulation of Cbfα1, bFGF and IGF-1mRNA level.

Background Previous study showed that both hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) and etoposide (VP-16) can induce the apoptosis of human Tenon capsule fibroblasts (HTFs).However,whether the combination of HCPT with VP-16 enhance the efficacy of drugs is unknown.Olbjeetive This study was to investigate the synergistic effect and its mechanism of HCPT combined with VP-16 on apoptosis of HTFs.Methods Human Tenon capsule tissue was obtained from the eye bank of Jiangsu Province People's Hospital.HTFs were cultured in vitro using explant method and identified by immunofluorescence with vimentin.The fourth generation of cells were incubated in 96-well plate,and different concentrations of HCPT (1,5,10,50,100 mg/L),VP-16 (0.6,2.5,5.0,25.0,50.0 mg/L) and HCPT+VP-16 (2:1,final concentrations 0.80,3.75,7.50,37.50,75.00 mg/L) were added for 24 hours.The inhibiting rate of drugs to HTFs growth was detected using CCK-8 kit.The HTFs were divided into blank control group,HCPT (50 ng/L) treated group,VP-16 (25 mg/L) treated group and HCPT+ VP-16 (37.5 mg/L) treated group,and the apoptosis rates of HTFs in various groups were assayed by flow cytometry.The expressions of caspase-3,cleaved caspase-3,bax,bcl-2,JNK,p-JNK,Akt,p-Akt in the cells were detected by Western blot assay.Results Cultured cells grew well with the polygon shape and positive response for vimentin.The inhibiting rate was elevated with the increase of drug dosage 24 hours after addition of drugs (HCPT:F=41.34,P=0.00 ; VP-16:F =62.60,P =0.00 ; HCPT+VP-16:F =46.77,P =0.00).The half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of HCPT,VP-16,HCPT+VP-16 were 80.99,27.93,19.81 mg/L,respectively,and the combined index (CI) of HCPT with VP-16 was 0.399,showing a stronger synergistic action.The apoptotic rates of HTFs were (4.87±0.78) %,(11.20± 1.94)%,(12.67±1.51)% and (19.77±2.01)% in the blank control group,HCPT treated group,VP-16 treated group and HCPT+VP-16 treated group,respectively,with a significant difference among them (F=18.23,P < 0.01),and the apoptotic rate was significantly raised in the HCPT + VP-16 treated group,HCPT treated group and VP-16 treated group compared with the blank control group (q'=15.67,16.32,26.88,all at P<0.01).Compared with the blank control group,the grey scale values of cleaved caspase-3,bax,p-JNK in the cells of HCPT+VP-16 treated group,HCPT treated group and VP-16 treated group were significantly increased (all at P<0.01),and those in the HCPT+VP-16 treated group significant ascent in comparison with the HCPT treated group and VP-16 treated group (all at P<0.01).However,the changes of caspase-3,JNK and Akt expression were insignificant.The grey scale values of bcl-2 and p-Akt in the HTFs of the HCPT,VP-16 and HCPT+VP-16 treated groups were significantly lower than those of the blank control group,with a dominant reducing in the HCPT+VP-16 treated group (all at P<0.01).Conclusions HCPT and VP-16 induce the apoptosis of HTFs in vitro at a dose-dependent manner.The combination of HCPT with VP-16 has a stronger synergistic efficacy.The up-regulation of p-JNK and bax as well as the down-regulation of p-Akt and bcl-2 in HTFs are involved in the coaction of HCPT and VP-16.

Background Long-term administration of glucocorticoid drugs induces ocular hypertension in susceptible individuals probably.It has been verified that 1 1β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1),glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) can affect the generating of aqueous humor,but how they play the role in glucocorticoid-induced ocular hypertension is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the relationship of expressions of 11β-HSD1 and steroids receptors in ciliary body and steroid-induced ocular hypertension.Methods Thirteen 12-16 week-old New Zealand albino rabbits were randomized to control group (5 rabbits) and experimental group (8 rabbits).Steroid-induced glaucoma models were induced by administration of subconjunctival injection of 5 mg dexamethasone solution(1 ml) and 0.5% dexamethasone eye drops on alternate days in the left eyes for consecutive two months in the experimental group,and the equal volume of sterile normal saline solution was used in the same way in the control group.The successful criteria of model eyes was defined as rising of intraocular pressure (IOP) to ≥ 18 mmHg for over one week.Then,the animals were sacrificed by excessive anesthesia and the ciliary tissues were isolated for the assay of expressions of 1 1β-HSD1 protein by immunochemistry,and the expressions of 11β-HSD1 mRNA,GR mRNA and MR mRNA in ciliary body were semi-quantitatively detected by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR).The experimental results were compared between the two groups.Results The IOP was normal in the first two weeks after administration of drugs,and no significant difference was found in IOP between the first week and the second week in the experimental group (q =0.469,P >0.05).From 3 through 5 weeks after injection,the IOP was gradually elevated,with the highest value of (18.87±0.77) mmHg in the fifth week.Significant differences were seen between the two groups at mentioned-above time points (q =10.535,20.353,28.681,all at P < 0.01).11β-HSD1 protein was positively expressed in nonpigmented epithelial cells of ciliary tissue of rabbits in both groups,however,the expression intensity was weaker in the experimental group compared with the control group.The relative expressional values of MR mRNA,GR mRNA and 11β-HSD1 mRNA in the ciliary tissue were 2.22±0.78,0.64±0.11 and 0.47±0.16 in the experimental group,and those in the control group were 0.94±0.27,1.88±0.74 and 2.68±1.28,with significant differences between the two groups (t =6.070,P =0.004 ; t =5.170,P =0.007 ; t =5.540,P =0.005).Conclusions Corticosteroidinduced glaucoma probably is associated with the up-regulation of MR level and down-regulations of GR and 11β-HSD1 in ciliary body.
