Objective To study the expression of protein and mRNA of caspase-3 during hepatocyte apoptosis in the mice with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). Methods Liver damage was induced by tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) in D-galactosamine (GalN) sensitized BALB/c mice. Hepatocyte apoptosis was examined by electric microscopy, in site end labeling (ISEL) and DNA electrophoresis on 1.5% agarose gel. The expression of protein and mRNA of caspase-3 was detected by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results After 1.5 h, 3.5 h, 6 h, and 9 h of administration of GalN and TNF-?, rates of hepatocyte apoptosis were found to be 0.0%, 0.3%, 3.15% and 3.19% respectively. The rates of caspase-3 positive hepatocytes were 0.7%, 4.6% , 17.8% and 24.2% respectively. The relative expressive density of caspase-3 mRNA were 0.26%, 0.29%, 0.41% and 0.38% respectively. Conclusions The expression of caspase-3 is up regulated in the TNF-? induced FHF model and may trigger hepatocyte apoptosis and finally lead to FHF.

Objective To investigate the retinoic acid incubation effect on proliferation of U251 cell line and effect on MAPK signal pathway. Methods ATRA solution of different concentration on the U25 1 glioma cells were incubated,the influence of ATRA on the proliferation of U25 1 cells were detected,and the proteins of MKPs and MAPK signaling pathways were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot.Using Graph Prism 5 software for quantitative analysis of experimental results.Results Compared with control group,ATRA could effectively inhibit the proliferation of U25 1 glioma cells, in a concentration dependent manner.QRT-PCR results showed that,different concentrations of ATRA after incubation for 48 hours,the expression of MKPs mRNA changed,but the changes of MKP-5 and expression of 67LR was different,explained the main differences between the two methods of the MAPK signaling pathway was the regulation of MKP-5.Western blot results showed that the ATRA,after 48 hours of incubation,the protein MAPK pathway had changed in phosphorylation, which showed that ATRA protein in the MAPK signaling pathway through control of the degree of phosphorylation on U25 1 cell line regulation.Conclusion Retinoic acid and retinoic acid receptor play its physiological effects and regulate human glioma cell line U25 1 proliferation through different combination.Retinoic acid could not only reduce the expression of phosphorylated ERK1/2 to inhibit tumor proliferation,but also regulate three kinds of protein phosphorylation,therefore its mechanism will be more complex,at the same time that the MAPK signaling pathway plays a crucial role in tumor proliferation process.

Objective To understand the status of Ascaris eggs pollution in soil at national monitoring spots of soil-transmit-ted nematodiasis,so as to provide the evidence for making countermeasures and evaluating the control effect. Methods Ten households were selected from each of the 22 national monitoring spots annually according to the National Surveillance Program of Soil-Transmitted Nematodiasis(Trial),and the soil samples from vegetable gardens,toilet periphery,courtyards and kitchens were collected and examined by using the modified floatation test with saturated sodium nitrate. Fertilized or unfertilized eggs as well as live or dead fertilized eggs were discriminated and identified. In addition,a SWOT analysis of monitoring of Ascaris eggs pollution in the soil of rural China was carried out. Results A total of 1 090 households were monitored in 22 monitoring spots from 2006 to 2010. The total detection rate of Ascaris eggs in the soil was 30.73%,and the detection rates of fertilized,unfertilized and live fertilized eggs were 13.21%,26.42%and 20.28%,respectively. The total detection rates of Ascaris eggs in the vegetable garden,toilet periphery,courtyard and kitchen were 16.51%,13.49%,14.22% and 10.73% respectively. The SWOT analysis demonstrated that the monitoring work had both advantages and disadvantages,and was faced with opportunities as well as threats. Conclusion The pollution status of Ascaris eggs in the soil is still quite severe at some national monitoring spots,and the counter-measures such as implementing hazard-free treatment of stool,improving water supply and sanitation and reforming environment should be taken to protect people from being infected.

Objective To analyze the mutations in keratin 1 (KRT1), KRT9 and KRT10 genes in a Chinese family with epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK). Methods Clinical data were collected from a family with EPPK. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 12 family members, including 6 patients and 6 unaffected members, as well as from 50 unrelated normal human controls. PCR was performed to amplify all the exons and flanking sequences of KRT1, KRT9 and KRT10 genes followed by DNA sequencing.Results A missense mutation C.1436T > C was found in the highly conserved helix termination motif of KRT1 gene of all the patients, resulting in a substitution of isoleucine by threonine at position 479 of the KRT1 protein. No mutation was found in the unaffected members or unrelated controls. Conclusions The missense mutation C.1436T > C in K.RT1 gene is likely to be the main cause of the phenotype of EPPK in this family.This is the first report of a pedigree with KRT1 gene mutation-induced EPPK in China.

Objective To observe the levels of Livin and Caspase-3 in renal tissue of rats following acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning and the intervention effects of ulinastatin (UTI) . Methods Fifty-four Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three experimental groups: control group (group A),PQ poisoning group (group B) and UTI group (group C) (n = 18 in each group) . Rats in group B and group C were administered intragastrically with 80 mg/kg PQ, and rats in group C were treated with 100,000U/kg ulinastatin injected intra-psritoneally once a day; and rats in group A were administered intragastrically with the same volume of saline instead of PQ. At 24, 48, 72 hours after poisoning, the levels of Livin in renal tissue were detected by Westen blotting and the levels of Caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemistry 24, 48, and 72 hours after poisoning, and the histopathological changes of renal tissue were observed at the same time. Results In the group A, the structure of renal tissue was distinct. In the group B, the distinctness of the structure of renal tissue declined significantly, and swelling, edema and vacuolar degeneration were observed 24 h after poisoning, and pathological changes became more and more obvious keeping pace with time elapsing, and sometimes karyopyknosis appeared and celluar structures disappeared with involvement of renal glomerulus and medulla. These pathological changes were significantly lessened in rats of group C. In the group A, there was little Caspase-3 in renal tissue of rats. Twenty-four hours after poisoning, the caspase-3 in renal tissue of rats of group B was found on the membrane and in the kytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells of cortical part. Compared with group B, the level of Caspase-3 in renal tissue of rats of group C decreased significantly to lower level (P <0. 01 ) . Compared with group A,the levels of Livin in renal tissue in rats of group B and group C increased significantly at all different intervals (P <0. 01 ), and as group B was compared with group C, the difference was statistically significant (P <0. 01 ) . Conclusions The main pathologyical changes of renal injury induced by PQ are epithelial swelling, vacuole degenerateion and necrosis. Caspase-3 is involved in the process of renal injury. UTI has a protective effect on the renal tissue of rats following paraquat poisoning through up-regulating the level of Livin and down-regulating the level of Caspase-3, however, the regulation mechanism as well as the pathway is still needed to further study.
