Amounts of Certain elements in Anopheles sinensis, both normal ones (emerged mosquitoes, d0, d5, d8, d12 and d18 after taking blood meal) and those infected with Brugla malayi microfilaria (d5, d 8, d12 and d18 after infection), were determined using IL-551 and PE-603 atomic absorption spectrometer(AAS). The results showed that 9 kinds of trace elements including Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Al, Pb, Mn. Ni and Cr and 4 kinds of macro elements as K, Na, Ca, Mg were present in both the noninfected and infected mosquitoes. Comparing the contents of the elements between the noninfected and infected mosquitoes, the amounts of many kinds of elements reduced obviously in mosquitoes infected with microfilaria. The quantity and kinds of elements reduced in mosquitoes with the days of infection, for instance, 10 kinds of elements on the 5th day, 11 on the 8th day, 9 on the 12th day and 7 on the 18th day after infection(Tables 1, 2).

Objective To screen and identify the serum biomarker of anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (ADUB) , to determine the expression of biomarker protein in menses of ADUB pa-tients, and to investigate the relation between ADUB and the biomarker proteins. Methods Subjects included 128 ADUB patients and 93 age-matched controls( normal women ). Their serum and super-natant of mense were collected and stored for use at -80℃. The differential proteins in the serum of the 2 groups were detected by CM 10 and analyzed by Biomarker WizardTM3.2 software. Then, the differential proteins were identified by Trieine-SDS-PAGE gel separation, spectrometry identifica-tion, and immunoprecipitation. The expression of the protein identified above in the menses was test-ed by ELISA, RT-PCR, and Western blotting. SPSS 14.1 was applied for statistical analysis and chart drawing. Results Five differential protein peaks were screened and their peak values were 11.80, 13.59, 13.79, 13.85, and 14.20 km/z, respectively. The intensity of protein peak ( 11.80 km/z ) which was identified as serum amyploid protein A ( SAA ) of ADUB was significantly higher than that of the controls (P<0.05). While the intensity of protein peak (13.59 km/z) which was identified as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of ADUB was obviously lower than that of the controls (P<0.05). The intensity of protein peak 13.08, 13.85, and 14.20 was not different between the cases and controls. SAA expressed highly in the menses of ADUB but low in that of the controls. Conversely, VEGF expressed highly in the menses of the control but low in that of the ADUB. Conclusion Two biomarkers which might be related with ADUB have been correctly screened and identified as SAA and VEGF. It needs further study whether the increased expression of SAA and reduced expression of VEGF are the cause or result of ADUB.

BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated that hyperpolarization-activated andcyclic nucleotide-gated cation channels (HCN) 2 and HCN4 are abnormal expressed in ventricular muscle following heart disease, which is closely correlate to ventricular arrhythmia. Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation can improve damaged cardiac muscle; however, its effect on remodeling of ion channel is unclearly. OBJECTIVE: To detect the changes of HCN2 and HCN4 expression in left ventricle following BMSCs transplantation.METHODS: Five Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, aged 3 weeks, were prepared for BMSCs by Percoll method. Additional 30 health, male, SD rats, were randomly divided into DMEM, cell transplantation, sham operation and control groups. At 4 weeks after model preparation, DMEM culture medium was injected into the infarcted area and surroundings with 5 points in the DMEM group. The 3rd generation of cultured BMSCs (200 μL, with 5×10~6 cells) were injected into rats in the cell transplantation group with the same methods. The mRNA and protein expression of HCN2 and HCN4 gene was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In non-infarcted region, the mRNA and protein expression of HCN2 and HCN4 among each groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05). Compared with the control and sham operation groups, mRNA and protein expression of HCN2 and HCN4 in surrounding of the infracted region was elevated in the DMEM group (P < 0.05), which was greater than that of the cell transplantation group (P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of HCN2 and HCN4 was smaller in the center area of infracted region in the DMEM group than that of the control and sham operation groups (P < 0.05), which was similar to the cell transplantation group (P > 0.05). Acute myocardial infarction can increase mRNA and protein expression of HCN2 and HCN4 in infracted region surrounding. BMSCs transplantation may lower the fatality rate of ventricular arrhythmia by reducing HCN2 and HCN4 expression.

Objective To explore the anomalous expression of HDAC1 in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)and cervical carcinoma and its relationship with the infection of HPV16/18. Methods The expressions of HDAC1 protein and HDAC1 infection were detected by in situ hybridiza?tion(ISH)and immunohistochemistry staining(SP)in tissues from patient with chronic cervicitis(the chronic cervicitis group),CIN(the CINⅠgroup,the CINⅡgroup and the CINⅢgroup)and cervical squamous carcinoma(the cervical carcinoma group). Results The infection rate of HPV16/18 was 8.33%,34.78%,48.00%,65.21%,78.00%in patients with chronic cervicitis,CINⅠ,CINⅡ,CINⅢand cervical carcinoma re?spectively. There was significant difference between groups(P<0.05). The positive expression rate of HDAC1 was 0,13.04%,32.00%,47.82%and 76.00%in chronic cervicitis,CINⅠ,CINⅡ,CINⅢand cervical carcinoma,respectively. The differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The positive expression of HDAC1 in the HPV16/18 infected patients was significantly higher than those uninfected with HPV16/18(P<0.05). The HDAC1 positive expression had no relationship with clinical stages of cervical carcinoma,however,it was related to the tissue differentia?tion,stromal invasion and pelvic lymph node metastasis(all P<0.05). Conclusion The infection of HPV16/18 may play an important role in the carcinongenesis of SCC through increasing the expression of HDAC1.
