OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of in utero exposure to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) on the apoptosis of testicular cells in the pubertal male rat offspring.
METHODSTen pregnant SD rats were randomly divided into a control and an experimental group to be treated intragastrically with olive oil (1 ml per day) and DBP (500 mg per kg of body weight per day) respectively between gestation days 12 and 19. At the pubertal age (postnatal day 45, PND 45), the testes of the male rat offspring were removed for observation of the cell structure under the transmission electron microscope and the development of different spermatogenetic cells by HE staining. The apoptosis of testicular cells was detected by the TUNEL method, the expressions of the apoptosis-regulating proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Bax and p53 were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot, and the data obtained were compared between the two groups by t-test.
RESULTSTransmission electron microscopy revealed increased apoptosis and vacuolization of testicular cells in the PND-45 rat offspring, HE staining showed markedly decreased numbers of different spermatogenetic cells, TUNEL manifested significantly increased apoptosis of testicular cells in the experimental group as compared with the control (12.00 ± 5. 22 vs 3.17 ± 1.47, P < 0.01), and immunohistochemistry and Western blot exhibited remarkably higher expressions of Bax and p53 in the former than in the latter group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONIn utero exposure to DBP can increase the apoptosis of germ cells and Sertoli cells, induce the vacuolization of testicular cells, and significantly elevate the expressions of the apoptosis-promoting proteins Bax and p53 in the pubertal male rat offspring.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Jianpi Bushen Qingchang Huashi Recipe (JBQHR) on proliferation and migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).
METHODSBMSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro with adherence screening method to prepare cell suspension. No drug intervention was given to BMSCs in the vehicle control group. JBQHR at 0.39, 0.78, 1.56 µg/mL was added in BMSCs of low, mid, and high dose JBQHR groups for co-incubation. Its effect on the proliferation of BMSCs was detected by CCK-8. BMSCs migration and chemotactic ability was detected using Transwell method. Each dose JBQHR combined ERK kinase inhibitor U0126 was set up as control. The phosphorylation of extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) and CAMP responsive element-binding protein (CREB) were detected by Western blot.
RESULTSCompared with the vehicle control group, the proliferation of BMSCs and BMSCs migration number could be promoted in the 3 JBQHR groups (P < 0.05). Besides, the proliferation of BMSCs was better in mid and high dose JBQHR groups than in the low dose JBQHR group (P < 0.05). Compared with the vehicle control group, the phosphorylation of ERK and CREB could be elevated in the 3 JBQHR groups (P < 0.05), and could be inhibited by U0126 (P < 0.01). Compared with the low dose JBQHR group, the phosphorylation of ERK increased in mid and high dose JBQHR groups with statistical difference (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONJBQHR could promote the proliferation and migration of BMSCs, and its mechanism might be related to ERK/CREB signaling pathway

OBJECTIVE To study the changes in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) mRNA, tissue-inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) mRNA and the ratio of MMP-9 mRNA/TIMP-1 mRNA in the lungs of paraquate poisoning rats, and to investigate the protective effects of sodium dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS, Unithiol). METHODS One hundred and twenty male SD rats were divided into 12 groups (n=10) randomly: normal control, DMPS control, PQ poisoning 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 d model groups, (DMPS+PQ) 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 d groups. PQ poisoning model was established by intraperitoneal injecting paraquate. The expression of MMP-9 mRNA and TIMP-1 mRNA in lung tissues was detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS ①By observing the changes of action and observing the lung tissues sections, the rats' PQ poisoning models was successfully established. ②The histopathology of lung showed infiltration of inflammatory cell in acute phase(within 2 weeks), the inflammation decreased gradually after 2 weeks, hyperplasia of collagen and pulmonary fibrosis were instead. Howerer, the pathological changes were alleviated obviously in the (DMPS+PQ) groups. ③Compared with the PQ groups, the expression of MMP-9 mRNA and TIMP-1 mRNA in lungs diminished greatly in the DMPS+PQ groups after rats injected DMPS(P<0.05); the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 mRNA was bigger at 7, 14 and 28 d in the DMPS+PQ groups after rats injected DMPS. CONCLUSION Down-regulation of the expression of MMP-9 mRNA and TIMP-1 mRNA and up-regulation ratio of MMP-9 mRNA/TIMP-1 mRNA by DMPS may be one of mechanisms by which pulmonary injury and pulmonary fibrosis are prevented in the acute paraquate poisoning.

Objective To explore the nutritional risk factors in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), who have been accepted pegylated interferon (IFN) and ribavirin (RVB) therapy (PR). Methods A total of 175 CHC patients treated with PR were included in this study. Data of heights, body weights, and calculated body mass index (BMI) were recorded in patients. At the same time, patients were evaluated nutritional risk with Nutritional Risk Screen 2002 (NRS 2002), and divided into risk group (n=35) and non-risk group (n=140). Results There were significant differences in age, HCV genotype (1b type and not 1b), clinical type (CHC/cirrhosis), the length of treatment time and the tolerance degree for PR therapy between two groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=16.068,β=2.777), IFN dosage (OR=3.096, β=1.130), RVB dosage (OR=3.382, β=1.219) and clinical type (OR=5.092, β=1.628) were nutritional risk factors. The HCV genotype (OR=0.384; β=-0.957) was protective factors for nutritional risk. Conclusion There is higher occurrence rate of nutritional risk for CHC patients accepted PR therapy. The dependant nutritional risk factors are advanced age, intolerance for PR therapy and cirrhosis associated CHC. HCV without genotypes 1b is not a nutritional risk factor.
