Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Induces Apoptosis through Down-Regulation of c-mycGene and Overexpression of p27Protein in Cervical Carcinoma

Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is known to be a potent growth inhibitor for many cell types, including most epithelial cells. In skin keratinocytes, TGF-β1 has been shown to inhibit growth and to rapidly reduce c-mycexpression. However, the molecular mechanism of TGF-β1 action on cell growth of cervical carcinoma has not yet been elucidated. We thus assessed the effect of TGF-β1 on the growth of cervical carcinoma cell lines. Two cervical squamous carcinoma cell lines, CUMC-3 and CUMC-6, were incubated with varying concentrations of TGF-β1, and growth inhibition was evaluated with tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay. After culture in TGF-β1 for 24 h, inhibition of growth was detected in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations of 0.1–10 ng/ml in both cell lines. This effect of TGF-β1 on cultured carcinoma cells was associated with apoptotic process including oligonucleosomal ladder DNA and apoptotic body formations. Northern blot analysis revealed c-mycmRNA expression was suppressed by 10 ng/ml of TGF-β1 following 3 h of treatment in both cell lines. Western blot analysis showed that the level of p27^Kip1protein was increased after TGF-β1 treatment in both cell lines. These results suggest that the mechanisms by which TGF-β1 inhibits the growth of cervical carcinoma are complex and may include effects on down-regulation of c-mycgene, and overexpression of p27^Kip1protein.     

槲皮素磷酸酯钾对实验性心肌梗塞的影响

iv10～20mg/kg(木解)皮素磷酸酯钾使兔急性心肌梗塞范围明显缩小,ST段明显降低,并能对抗冠脉结扎后引起的血清CPK含量增加及心律失常,这些作用与普萘洛尔相似。但iv40mg/kg后作用不明显。     

66例成人原发肾病综合征临床治疗与病理分析

本对６６例原发肾病综合征患进行病理类型与临床疗效分析。最常见病理类型为系膜增殖性肾炎，占４２．５％，其次为膜性肾病，占３２．５％，ＩｇＡ肾病占１５．０％。微小病变型及系膜增殖性肾炎对激素及免疫抑制剂治疗效果好，膜性肾病治疗效果差。不同病理类型患病理损害程度与疗效相关。伴肾小管间质病变治疗效果差（Ｐ〈０．０５）。ＮＳⅠ型疗效明显优于ＮＳⅡ型（Ｐ〈０．０５）。５０岁以下原发肾病综合征（ＰＮＳ）     

大叶牛奶菜孕甾甙成分研究

用硅胶层析及反相硅胶层析法，从大叶牛奶菜（MarsdeniakoiTsiang）抗生育活性的甲醇提取物中分离获得一孕甾四糖甙。经化学反应，波谱分析，酸碱降解及其水解产物的鉴定，确定其结构为12-0-cvnnamyl-dihydrosarcostin-3-0-β-D-glucopyranosyl（l→4）-0-3-0-methyl-6-deoxy-β-D-allopyranosyl(1→4)-0-β-D-oleandropyranosyl(1→4)-0-β-D-cymaropyranoside,命名为大叶牛奶菜甙庚（marsdekoisideG）。经系统文献检索证明其为首次自该植物中分离得到。

肋骨骨软骨瘤1例

患者女，47岁。右后背部感觉不适、酸胀感伴疼痛半年而入院检查。CT扫描发现：右侧后背部肩胛骨前方见长条状骨性密度影，后方与肋骨相连，并向胸腔内发展。仔细观察可见骨性胸廓内的病灶呈类圆形，周边密度较低且光整，即软骨帽。局部胸膜反应性增厚（图1，2），周围肺组织未见异常。遂住院行手术切除，病理诊断骨软骨瘤。[第一段]     

Apolipoprotein E4 enhances brain inflammation by modulation of the NF-κB signaling cascade

Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4), the major genetic risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is associated with enhanced brain inflammation. Genome-wide gene expression profiling was employed to study the effects of apoE genotype on hippocampal gene expression in LPS-treated mice, transgenic for either apoE4 or the AD benign allele, apoE3. This revealed that the expression of inflammation-related genes following intracerebroventricular injection of LPS was significantly higher and more prolonged in apoE4 than in apoE3 transgenic mice. Clustering analysis revealed gene clusters which responded differently in apoE4 and apoE3 mice and were significantly enriched in NF-kappaB response elements. Direct measurement of NF-kappaB-regulated genes revealed that their extent of activation was greater in the apoE4 mice. Immunohistochemistry experiments revealed that microglial and NF-kappaB activation were more pronounced in apoE4 than in apoE3 mice. These findings suggest that the increased brain inflammation in apoE4 mice is related to disregulation of NF-kappaB signaling pathway.
