Objective To detect levels of serum platelet activating factor(PAF),thrombomodulin(TM) and white blood cell(WBC),platelet count(PLT) in neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome(MAS),and observe changes of mediators of inflammation and function of endotheliocute.Methods All cases were taken vein blood in 24 h and 72-96 h after birth.Surm PAF and TM were detected by EILSA technique,at the same time,blood cell counts were determined.Results PAF and WBC in neonates with MAS increased,which were relevant to the patients′ condition.TM of neonates with MAS increased significantly,especially in 72-96 h after birth and(aggrava)-ted with the patients′ condition.Conclusion Neonates with MAS have inflammatory reaction and injured endotheliocyte,which are(inte)-raction.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 125I radioactive particle implantation in the treatment of maxillofacial malignancy. Methods:43 patients with maxillofacial malignancy were treated with 125I radioactive particle implantation.The procedure was carried out according to the treatment planning system(TPS),with the particles spaced uniformly at 1 cm intervals and with the activity of 0.7 m Ciby 41 particles per case on a verage.All patients were followed up for 6-60 months.Results:The whole treatment procedurewas successful,and no particle displaced.The follow-up rate was 93.02% and treatment effective rate(CR+PR) was 90.70%.Norecur-rence was foundinall target areas.The mortality due to tumor was 9.30%and total survival rate was 74.43%.The cumulative survival rate of the patients in 0.5,1,2,3 and 5 years was 93.0%,85.7%,79.3,69.8% and 56.9% respectively.Survival periodon aver-age was 36.06-50.04 months,with the median of 43.05 months.The longest tumor-free survival period was 60 months.Radiation in-jury rate was 20.93% and only level 1 radiation injury was observedinall the cases.Facial nerve dys function was found in 2 cases and recovered after treatment.Conclusion:Treatment of maxillofacial malignancy by implantation of 125I particles is convenient and mini-mally invasive.The treatment canincrease survival rate of the patients and guaran tee the oropharynxes' function.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of Hovenia dulcis extract on mRNA expression of MMP-13 and TIMP-1 mRNA in hepatic tissue in experimental rats.

METHOD48 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: normal group (16) and model group (32), hepatic fibrosis was induced by CCl4 for 6 weeks in rats, 8 rats were sacrificed at the end of the 6th week from every group respectively, HE staining of hepatic tissue was performed; In the model group, rats randomly subdivided into 3 groups: spontaneous recovery group, control group and medication administration group, 8 rats were sacrificed at the end of the 12th week from every group respectively, the mRNA levels of MMP-13 and TIMP-1 in hepatic tissue were assayed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.

RESULTThe mRNA expression of MMP-13 among the 4 groups were not statistically significant, but the mRNA expression of TIMP-1 among the 4 groups were statiscally significant. The levels of TIMP-1 mRNA were significantly increased in control group and medication administration group compared, with those in the model group (P < 0.05), and reverse effects of medication administration groups were significantly high than those of control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONInhibition of the mRNA expression of TIMP-1 may be the mechanism of reversing hepatic fibrosis H. dulcis, for thus collogen degradation system was recoveried gradually.

Objective To investigate the inducing effects of selenium dioxide(SeO2 ) on the apoptosis in human cervical carcino-ma cell line Hela and its influence on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins caspase-3 and P53 .Methods Hela cells were trea-ted with different concentrations of SeO2 for 24 h in vitro ;the morphological changes of Hela cells were observed by the optical mi-croscope;the influence of SeO2 on the cell proliferation and vitality was examined by the MTT assay ;the flow cytometry was em-ployed to detect the cell apoptosis rate ;the expressions of caspase-3 and P53 proteins in Hela cells were determined by the Western blot analysis .Results Under the optical microscopy ,SeO2 generated the obvious influence on the cell growth morphology ,a large number of cells became rounded and shrunken ,and lost the normal form ,while the adherence cell number was evidently decreased and the proliferation was slowed down ;the MTT results showed that SeO2 markedly inhibited the cell proliferation and viability in a dose-dependent manner ,in which ,the cell apoptosis rates induced by the 0 ,1 .875 ,3 .750 ,7 .500 ,15 .000 and 30 .000 μmol/L con-centrations of SeO2 were 3 .12% ,30 .56% ,33 .42% ,37 .50% ,45 .43% and 69 .38% respectively ,which revealing the obviously in-creasing trend;the Western blot assay revealed that SeO2 could up-regulate the caspase-3 and P53 levels ,and reached the peak value at the concentration of 7 .500μmol/L .Conclusion SeO2 could induce the cervical cancer cell apoptosis possibly by up-regulating the expressions of caspase-3 and p53 in Hela cells .

Objective To explore the effects of thiamine and riboflavin on H2O2-induced DNA oxidative damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cell line ECV304.Methods ECV304 cells were incubated with 10,100,500,1000 mg/L of thiamine or 20,100,300,500 nmol/L of riboflavin for 24 h,and then oxidative damage of cells were induced by 25 mol/L H2O2 for 30 min.DNA damage was detected with single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE)assay.ECV304 cells incubated without H2O2,thiamine and riboflavin were served as negative controls,and those incubated with H2O2 and without thiamine and riboflavin were served as positive controls.Results H2O2 induced DNA damage,and the indices of percent of DNA damage cells,percent of tail DNA,tail length and Olive tail moment were increased.The indices of cells pretreated with 10,100,500 mg/L of thiamine or 20,100,300 nmol/L riboflavin were significantly decreased(P0.05).Conclusion Proper supplementation of thiamine and riboflavin may decrease H2O2-induced DNA oxidative damage,while excess thiamine and riboflavin supplementation may be harmful to DNA and enhance the susceptibility to H2O2 potentially.
