RESUMEN
Aim To observe the effect of Guishao-tongluo ( GSTL ) on the angiogenesis of vasa vasorum and oxidative stress in the early stage of atherosclero-sis. Methods The rabbits ( n =84 ) were randomly divided into 7 groups (n=12):control group,high-fat group, adventitial injury group, GSTL high(GH)and medium ( GM ) dose group, atorvastain group ( ATO ) , and Tongxinluo group ( TXL ) . The normal group was fed with common foodstuffs, and high-fat foodstuffs for the high-fat group to establish an early model of hyper-lipidemia, and all the other groups were fed with high-fat diet combined with carotid artery cannula to build early atherosclerosis carotid artery injury rabbit mod-els. The GSTL high and medium dose was given Guishaotongluo ultrafine powder 4. 16,2. 08 g·kg-1 · d-1 respectively. The atorvastain group and Tongxinluo group were given suspension of atorvastain solution 2. 5 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 , Tongxinluo supermicro powder 0. 6 g ·kg-1 ·d-1 . All groups were treated with gastric per-fusion for 4 weeks. Biochemical method was applied to detect blood lipid change. HE staining was used to ob-serve the pathological morphology of intima-media. Aactivity of serum superoxide dismutase( SOD) ,malon-dialdehyde ( MDA ) content and the total antioxidant capacity ( T-AOC ) in artery serum were detected. NADPH subunits p22phox mRNA, gp91phox mRNA in carotid arteries were located and semi-quantitated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The expression of VEGF, VEGFR-2 in the carotid artery adventitia was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with normal group,the contents of TC,TG and LDL-C were significantly increased, and VEGF, VEGFR-2 protein levels were remarkly increased in high-fat and adventi-tial injury group. The carotid artery injuries,the degree of angiogenesis of vasa vasorum and NADPH subunits p22phox, gp91phox mRNA in adventitia tissue of the GH,GM, ATO and TXL group were milder in varying degrees compared with those of the vasa injury group. Also the activity of SOD,T-AOC increased,while MDA content,VEGF,VEGFR-2 protein levels were remarkly decreased ( P < 0. 5 or P < 0. 01 ) . Conclusions GSTL can inbibit adventitial neovascularization in the early stage of atherosclerosis, and its mechanism might be related to the increase of total antioxidant capacity of the vascular system and adventitia tissue.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the amplification of the telomerase RNA component (TERC) gene in cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) using dual-color interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and its significance in screening of cervical lesion. Methods:Cervical cast-off cell specimens were screened from 120 outpatients with cervical lesion, including normal cell from liquid based cytology (20 cases), CIN Ⅰ , Ⅱ , Ⅲ and cervical cancer cell from liquid based cytology (each of 25 cases). The amplification of TERC gene in cervical cast-off cells was detected by dual-color interphase FISH. The results of normal samples were used to set up the threshold. Results:①The percentages of abnormal cells in CIN Ⅰ , Ⅱ , Ⅲ and cervical cancer were significantly higher than threshold value ( P<0.05), and the percentage of abnormal cells was increased with the serious degree of pathological grade (P<0.01) ; ②The percentagesof 2:3,2:4,2:5 and great than or equal to 4:4 types in CIN Ⅰ , Ⅱ , Ⅲ and cervical cancer were significantdifferences (all P<0.01). The percentages of 2:4,2:5 and great than or equal to 4:4 types in cervical cancer were significant higher than that in CIN Ⅰ (P<0.001) while the percentage of 2:3 type was significant lower than that in it (P<0.001);③The percentage of abnormal cells was increased with the serious degree of cytological grade (P<0.01) in different cytological grades. The percentages of 2:3,2:5 and great than or equal to 4:4 types in atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance (ASCUS), low-grade squamous intraepithe-lial lesions (LSIL) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) were significant differences (all P <0.01), and the percentages of 2:5 and great than or equal to 4:4 types in HSIL were significant higher than that in ASCUS( P <0.01) while the percentage of 2:3 type was significant lower than that in it ( P <0.01);④The detection rates of LSIL and HSIL with cytological examination in low grade and high grade CIN were 40% (10/25) and 62% (31/50) respectively, which were significant lower than the detection rates of FISH which was 100%(P<0.05).Conclusions:There is an abnormal amplification of TERC gene in CIN Ⅰ , Ⅱ , Ⅲ and cervical cancer, and its copy numbers are increased with the serious degree of pathological and cytological grades. Detection of amplification of TERC gene in cervical cast-off cells with FISH has a certain value for screening cervival lesion and prediction of lesion progression.
