AIM: To observe the pathological role of 3-nitrotynosine (3-NT) on Escherichia coli LPS-induced vascular hyporeactivity in rats and the therapeutic effect of antioxidants. METHODS: Forty male SD rats weighting from 200 g to 250 g were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (n=10); LPS shock group (n=10); uric acid-treated group (n=10); melatonin-treated group (n=10). 6 h after LPS shock, phenylephrine (0.5-2.5 ?g?kg -1) was applied intravenously to all groups and the percentage increase in MAP was detected, respectively. The concentration-response curve of aorta rings from all groups rats were obtained by cumulative addition of phenylephrine (PE), and PE E_ max, EC_ 50 were calculated. The concentrations of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrate/nitrite and 3-NT were assayed in all groups 6 h after LPS shock. RESULTS: The MAP level induced by PE significantly decreased to 54.60% in LPS shock rats compared with the control (P

OBJECTIVETo observe the lower gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors CT virtual endoscopy and pathology, and to explore its possible mechanism.

METHODSSelect 80 patients suspected colon gastroenterology treat in the hospital gastroenterology department, randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 40 cases in experimental group were given CT virtual endoscopy and pathological check, the control group received conventional colonoscopy and pathological check, and all the results compared with the pathological results.

RESULTSCompared with the pathological test results, consistent rate with the experimental group reached 94.73%, the same rate was 92.85% in control group. The difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSCT virtual endoscopy can quickly image and draw detailed information, and can improve the sensitivity and specificity of cancer diagnosis greatly. Clinically, CT virtual endoscopy have the same function as colonoscopy, can replace colonoscopy, can be important complement of electronic colonoscopy by those who cannot tolerate electronic colonoscopy or have contraindications. Its value is worth taking a step forward in-depth study.

Objective To observethe effect of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on serum level of antibrain-antibody (ABAb) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.Methods Thirtysix patients with severe traumatic brain injury were randomly divided into control group (19 patients) and CVVH group (17 patients).The control group accepted conventional treatment,the CVVH group accepted CVVH treatment additionally for 7 d.ELISA was used to measure serum level of ABAb at 1,3,5,7,14 d after treatment.The change of ABAb in serum of each group was observed.The scores of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was assessed everyday.Results The level of ABAb in CVVH group was significantly lower than that in control group from the third day after treatment[the third day:(1.28 ± 0.25) kU/L vs.(1.33 ± 0.30) kU/L;the fifth day:(1.37 ±0.17) kU/L vs.(1.42 ±0.22) kU/L;the seventh day:(1.45 ±0.37) kU/L vs.(1.52 ± 0.35) kU/L;the fourteenth day:(1.49 ± 0.41) kU/L vs.(1.67 ± 0.39) kU/L,P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01].The scores of GCS in CVVH group was significantly higher than that in control group from the seventh day after treatment [the seventh day:(6.95 ± 1.24) scores vs.(5.74 ± 1.51) scores;the fourteenth day:(9.29 ± 1.76) scores vs.(7.22 ± 1.24) scores] (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion CVVH can decrease the level of ABAb and improve the prognosis.

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) that can localize indirectly to sites of clustering integrin family of heterodimeric receptors. As an important structure and signaling molecule in the adhesive complexes, which are large and stable referred as ‘focal adhesions’ or relatively small and transient within filopodia and lamellipodia named ‘focal complexes’, FAK is closely related with cell death, proliferation and migration. In this review, we discuss the function of FAK in the regulation of endothelial cell migration based on current data.

Objective To investigate the effects of antioxidant on the gene expression of ?1-adrenergic receptors (AR) during endotoxic shock. Methods Forty male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal (i.p.) pentobarbital. The animals kept spontaneous breathing. Femoral artery and vein were cannulated for BP monitoring and drug administration. The animals were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 8 each) : (1) control group; (2) LPS group received IPS 15 mg?kg-1 i.v. ; (3) LPS + propofol group received at 1h after LPS a bolus of propofol 10mg?kg-1 i.v. followed by continuous infusion of propofol at 10 mg?kg-1?h-1; (4) LPS + uric acid (UA) group received uric acid 200 mg i.p. 1 h after LPS and (5) LPS + melatonin (MLT) group received MLT 10 mg?kg-1 i.p. 1h after LPS. The animals were killed at 6 h after LPS. Total RNA was extracted from the heart, aorta, vein, lung, liver and kidney. ?1A-,?1B-,?1D- AR mRNA and ?-actin mRNA were measured using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) .Results The expression of ?1A-AR and ?1B-AR mRNA in all the organs and the ?1D-AR mRNA expression in aorta, liver, lung and kidney were strongly down-regulated in LPS group. In group 3 (LPS + propofol) the expression of ?1A-AR mRNA in the lung and kidney, the ?1B-AR mRNA expression in all of the organs and ?1D-AR mRNA expression in aorta, liver, lung and kidney were significantly increased as compared with LPS group. There was no significant difference in ?1-AR mRNA expression between LPS group and LPS + MLT group. The expression of ?1A-AR mRNA in kidney, the ?1B-AR mRNA expression in all of the organs except the lung and the ?1D-AR mRNA expression in aorta, liver, lung and kidney were significantly higher in LPS + UA group than in LPS group. Conclusion Circulatory failure induced by endotoxic shock is related to the down-regulation of ?1-AR gene expression. The therapeutic effects of antioxidant on the endotoxic shock is partly due to up-regulation of ?1-AR gene expression.

PCR and direct sequencing techniques were performed to determine if there were mutations in their THR?gene. Results No mutation was found in exon 1-10. Conclusion Pathogenesis of sporadic pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone usually has no relation with mutation of THR?gene.

Stathmin is a novel member of microtubule-destabilizing proteins that play a critical role in the regulation of the dynamic equilibrium of microtubules during different phases of the cell cycle.The overexpression of stathmin was found in different type of cancer.Inhibition of stathmin expression in malignant cells may interfere with their orderly progression through the cell cycle.Overexpression of stathmin can affect the action of antimicrotuble drugs by markedly decreasing binding of paclitaxel,and increasing binding of Vinca alkaloids.In addition,stathmin provides an attractive molecular target for cancer therapy.It may be possible to combine adenovirus-mediated anti-stathmin ribozyme therapy with a chemotherapeutic agent such as taxol to obtain a more potent antiproliferative and antitumor effect.
