目的 探讨肾清饮抑制肾间质纤维化的可能机制.方法 采用腺嘌呤灌胃法建立大鼠肾间质纤维化动物模型,并给予肾清饮和盐酸苯那普利干预治疗,作肾脏病理学检查,并以免疫组化和RT-PCR方法分别检测大鼠肾脏转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)、金属蛋白酶组织抑制物-1(TIMP-1)的表达.结果 各肾清饮干预组肾组织肾间质纤维化程度轻于模型对照组,免疫组化和RT-PCR检测的肾脏TGF-β1、TIMP-1的表达量均少于模型对照组(P<0.05).结论 肾清饮可通过减少肾组织TGF-β1、TIMP-1的表达,抑制肾间质纤维化的进展.     

Effects of Panax notoginseng saponins on hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis in cultured rabbit bone marrow stromal cells

Objective To investigate the effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced apoptosis in cultured rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Methods BMSCs from 3-month-old New Zealand rabbits were isolated and cultured by the density gradient centrifugation combined with adherent method. The cultured BMSCs were divided into three groups: normal control, H2O2 treatment (100μmol/L), and PNS pretreatment (0.1g/L). Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels as the index of oxidative stress were measured by using 2'7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate. Flow cytometry was used to observe the apoptosis of BMSCs by staining with annexinV-FITC/PI. The protein expression of Bax in BMSCs was analyzed by Western blotting. Activity of caspase-3 enzyme was measured by spectrofluorometry. Results Pretreatment with PNS significantly decreased intracellular ROS level induced by H2O2 (P<0.01). PNS markedly attenuated H2O2-induced apoptosis rate from 38.68% to 19.24%(P<0.01). PNS reversed H2O2-induced augmentation of Bax expression. Furthermore, PNS markedly reduced the altered in activity of caspase-3 enzyme induced by H2O2(P<0.01). Conclusion PNS has a protective effect on hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis in cultured rabbit BMSCs by scavenging ROS and decreasing Bax expression and caspase-3 activity.     

Association between the -1562 C/T polymorphism in the MMP-9 promoter and phenotype of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in northern Chinese population

Objective To conduct a case-control study on the association of the nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) gene with phenotype of esophageal cancer. Methods All subjects were unrelated residents in northern regions of China. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was used to determine the MMP-9 genotypes. Results The overall distribution of genotypes in the patients was not different from that in the controls (OR=0.77, 95% CI=0.45-1.34; P=0.36). There were no significant differences between the patients and the control subjects in terms of the distributions of sex and age, smoking status, alcohol dependence, pickled diet status, or history of environmental exposure. The patients were further examined with stratifications by age, sex, grade, depth of tumor invasion, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion and TNM staging. The results showed no pronounced association among the stratifications. Conclusion There is no significant association between the MMP-9 single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes and phenotype of esophageal cancer.     

还没有发生的奇迹

舒马赫还是回来了!很少有人在40岁的时候还能依然站在F1的赛场之上,但是大家仍然认为可以对舒米的这次复出有所期待。特别是我们的英国同行,对这位德国人的期许甚至凌驾于国际意识之上了——让我们来看看他们是怎么评价这个事件的。     

乙脑病毒非结构蛋白NS1的原核表达及重组蛋白间接ELISA方法的初步建立

克隆表达乙脑病毒非结构蛋白NS1,并以其作为包被抗原,建立间接ELISA诊断方法。用此方法分别检测猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)、猪瘟病毒(CSFV)及猪圆环病毒(PCV)阳性血清各3份,以及33份健康非免疫仔猪血清和205份乙型脑炎灭活疫苗免疫的猪血清,评价NS1-ELISA方法的特异性。取54份乙脑病毒感染的猪血清进行NS1-ELISA检测,评价该方法的敏感性。NS1-ELISA检测的特异性为95%,敏感性达90.7%。与商品化试剂盒比较,其符合率达到96.0%。在重复性试验中,NS1-ELISA检测方法重复性较好。本试验为进一步研究不同感染时期NS1抗体水平的差异奠定基础。
