ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) and liver fibrosis in pediatric patients with biliary atresia and the significance of its expression.Methods The clinical and pathological data of 30 patients with biliary atresia were selected from June 2013 to June 2015,and the expression of HSP72 in liver tissues was determined by streptomycin peroxide (SP) immunohistochemical method.Results The greater group of liver fibrosis degree with biliary atresia was less than the lighter group in the expression of HSP72 (Z =-4.16,P ＜ 0.01).There was negative correlation between HSP72 expression intensity and operation age (r =-0.704,P ＜ 0.01).Meanwhile,there was negative correlation between HSP72 expression intensity and postoperative cholangitis (r =-0.371,P ＜ 0.05).When the expression of HSP72 was higher,the autologous liver survival rate was higher (x2 =9.482,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The expression of HSP72 in liver tissues of patients with biliary atresia is closely related to the degree of liver tissue fibrosis.HSP72 expression may be one of the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with biliary atresia,and can be used as a reference index for evaluating prognosis.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of immunological and inflammatory reactions on type 2 diabetic macrovascular disease.Methods120 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 60 health controls were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into two sub - groups,type 2 diabetes mellitus group and type 2 diabetic macrovascular disease group.The markers of immunological and inflammatory reactions were detected,and the main associated factors were collected and analyzed by one -way ANOVA and logistic regression.ResultsThe level of FBG,PPG,HbA1c,Hs-CRP and TNF-αt [ (9.86 ± 1.79)mmol/L,( 14.45 ±5.48) mmol/L,( 11.43 ±3.25) ％,(6.79 ±3.71 )mg/L,( 1.99 ±0.65) ng/ml] in the group of type 2 diabetic macrovascular disease group were higher than type 2 diabetes mellitus group [ (7,25±0.64)mmol/L,(10.45 t2.89) mmol/L,(8.56 ±1.58)％,(4.72 ±2.39) ag/L,(1.24 ±0.44) ng/ml,P ＜ 0.05 ].The risk factors in type 2 diabetic macrovascular disease were TNF-α,Hs-CRP and HbA1 c.ConclusionsImmunological and inflammatory reactions play a key role in type 2 diabetic macrovascular disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes of the expressions of heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70) and insulin and HSP70 protect effect on the gastric mucosa of rats with scald injury, and explore the relationship between insulin and HSP70 . Methods With a model of 30 total body surface area (TBSA) full-thickness burned rats,the expression and distribution of HSP70 in the gastric mucosa was detected with immunohistochemical method and analyzed by a micro-image analysis system, and at the same time the pathological changes of the gastric mucosa tissue of each group were analyzed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry at the 3rd,6th,12th,24th and 48th hour postburn. Results The expression of HSP70 obviously decreased at the 48th hour post scald injury. The expression of HSP70 in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the scalded group at most time points except the 12th(9.40±1.52,P＝0.065) hour and at equal parallel time［(6.80±1.10,8.60±0.55,10.80±1.64,11.40±1.34),P＜0.05］. The gastric mucosal injury index in the scalded group was significantly higher than that in the treatment group and at equal parallel time ［(4.05±0.36,11.97±1.15,20.98±2.83,13.92±0.94,1.60±0.55),P＜0.05］. In pathological observation, the control group manifested the intact gastric mucosal tissue formation, the scalded group showed obvious gastric mucosal tissue injury in the early phase of scald injury, while the treatment group showed less severe injury than the scald group. A positive correlationwas found in the gastric mucosal injury index and HSP70(r＝0.904,P＜0.01) and also between the serum glucose and HSP70(r＝0.961,P＜0.01).Conclusions Insulin increased the expression of HSP70 and decreased the gastric mucosal injury index in the gastric mucosal tissue of SD rats in the phase of scald injury. It may be one of the vital mechanisms of insulin protecting the gastric mucosal tissue.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate the expression of heat shock protein in child asthma patient and investigate the risk factors of child's asthma. MethodPatients with clinical data of pediatric asthma history from outpatients department in Wuhan fifth hospital and follow up data were selected. The analysis of interrelated element was used with conditional logistic regression. ResultThe result of logistic analysis demonstrated that asthma was related with these risk factors, including history of upper respiratory infection, changes of weather, individual history of sensitive disease, family history of sensitive disease and heat shock protein. Fierce sports, factors of diet, passive smoking, and etc. Were not related to the degree of danger of asthma in this study. ConclusionHistory of upper respiratory infection, changeable weather, individual history of sensitive disease, family history of sensitive disease and heat shock protein were related with the degree of asthma. It should be helpful to treat asthma with continued propagation and education to advocate standardized treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between heat-shock protein 70-2 (HSP70-2) gene+1267A/G polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD) in Han Chinese population. Methods Using the method of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) , the polymorphism and genotype and allele distribution of HSP70-2 gene + 1267A/G in 185 CHD patients and 149 controls were analyzed. Results The HSP70-2 gene + 1267A/G polymorphism was found in this study population.The distribution of HSP70-2 genotypes was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of G allele in CHD group was significantly higher than that in control (61.89% vs51.68%, P ＜ 0. 01). After multiple logistic regression analysis, HSP70-2 gene (GG + AG) genotype was an independent risk factor of coronary heart disease. Conclusion HSP70-2 gene + 1267A/G polymorphism was associated with CHD risk of Han Chinese population, the G allele might serve as a genetic risk factor of coronary heart disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective In this study we investigated the expression and protective mechanisms of Hsp22 and VEGF in brain tissue following cerebral ischemic reperfusion in gerbils and whether they are correlative. Method Forty five gerbils were randomly divided into there groups: Normal Group (n =5) ,Sham-operated Group and Ischemia-Reperfusion Group (I/R). Sham-operated Group and I/R Group were divided into four subgroups (each group has five animals) : 6 hours group, lday group, 3days group, 7days group. Histological analysis of tissue injury was carried out by staining with haematoxylin and eosin haematoxylin and eosin (HE). Result The tissues of normal group and sham-operated group was integrated, but that of I/R were changed with gliocyte hyperplasia and hypertrophia, interstitial edema, cellular edema, gliocyte and neuron edema , neuron necrosis. The data presented here provided a positive correlation between expression of Hsp22 and VEGF. Conelusions There was a positive correlation between expression of Hsp22 and VEGF after gerbils brain I/R injury.
