RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of lentivirus-mediated heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) gene on calcium homeostasis in PC12 cells undergone ischemia and hypoxia, and the mechanism involved.Methods PC12 cells at logarithmic phase were collected, and were divided into recombination lentivirus infection group (infected by lentivirus containing HSP70 and fluorescent gene), lentivirus control group (infected by lentivirus containing fluorescin without HSP70 gene) and non-infection group. HSP70 gene and protein expressions in PC12 cells were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western Blot. After being challenged with ischemia and hypoxia for 4 hours, the viability of cells was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), the levels of lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) in cell supernatant were determined by LDH measurement test kit. The concentration of intracelluer calcium ([Ca2+]i) was assayed by flow cytometer. The activities of Na+-K+-ATPase, Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and total ATPase were measured by ATPase test kits.Results The expressions of exogenous HSP70 gene and protein were found by RT-PCR and Western Blot in the recombination lentivirus infection group. After being challenged with ischemia and hypoxia, the viability of cells in the recombination lentivirus infection group was increased significantly as compared with the lentivirus control group and non-infection group (A value: 0.575±0.020 vs. 0.395±0.014, 0.363±0.045,t1= 17.996,t2= 10.600, bothP< 0.001), the levels of LDH in culture medium and the concentration of [Ca2+]i were decreased significantly [LDH (U/L): 743.46±23.68 vs. 935.43±34.77, 962.89±26.68,t1= 11.179, t2= 15.044, bothP< 0.001; [Ca2+]i relative fluorescence: (31.60±2.43)% vs. (41.48±3.33)%, (40.40±3.05)%, t1= 5.853,t2= 5.502, bothP< 0.001], and the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase, Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and total ATPase were increased significantly [Na+-K+-ATPase (μmol·mg-1·h-1): 8.608±0.307 vs. 6.728±0.173, 6.450±0.091,t1=9.237,P1= 0.001,t2= 11.675,P2< 0.001; Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase (μmol·mg-1·h-1): 10.523±0.036 vs. 7.910±0.209, 8.064±0.195,t1= 9.718,P1= 0.001,t2= 11.535,P2<0.001; total ATPase (μmol·mg-1·h-1): 17.041±0.324 vs. 14.150±0.182, 13.983±0.085,t1= 16.113,t2= 17.602, bothP<0.001]. There was no statistical difference in above indexes between lentivirus control group and non-infection group.Conclusion HSP70 can maintain the PC12 cells calcium homeostasis, which may be one of the important mechanisms of anti-apoptosis.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the influence on primipara's second stage of labor with the methods of Changqiang-pressing and Vaginal-pressing. Methods 180 primipara in the second stage of labor were randomly divided into 3 groups of 60 each, in which Changqiang-pressing, Vaginal-pressing and general guidance (the control group) were used respectively. The duration of uterine contraction and second stage of labor, vaginal bleeding amount in 2 hours after delivery, mode of delivery, perineal injury and birth case would be evaluated. Results The results in both Changqiang-pressing group and Vaginal-pressing group were statistically significant when compared with the control group, but there was no significant difference between Changqiang-pressing group and Vaginal-pressing group. Conclusions Using Changqiang-pressing and Vaginal-pressing can promote the progress of the second stage of labor for primipara, reduce the rate of cesarean section and neonatal asphyxia, and improve the quality of obstetric department.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of massaging Changqiang acupuncture point during the second labor course of primiparas. Methods 124 primiparas were randomized into the observation group(63 cases)and the control group (61 cases). In the observation group, after entering the second stage of labor, Changqiang point was massaged upwards by using index finger and middle finger, and at the same time primiparas were guided to hold breath to coordinate with uterine contraction to make effort to the anus point which was massaged. While the control group were directed with routine way of correctly using abdominal pressure during process of uterine contraction in the second stage of labor. Results The lasting time of uterine contraction was significantly longer in the observation group than in the control group, the time of second stage of labor was shorter, and the amount of postpartum hemorrhage in the observation group was less than those in the control group. Conclusions Application of massaging Changqiang acupuncture point could prolonge the time of uterine contraction, advance the progress of second stage of labor, and decreased the amount of postpartum hemorrhage.
