RESUMO
To explore the effect of different concentrations of corticosterone (CORT) on primary cultured hippocampal neurons and their Ca2+/CaMK II expression and possible mechanism, the changes of hippocampal neurons were observed in terms of morphology, activity of cells, cell death, concentrations of cytosolic free calcium, and the expression of CaMK II by using MTT assay, flow cytometry, fluorescent labeling of Fura-2/AM and Western blotting after 10(-7), 10(-6) and 10(-5) mol/L of CORT was added to culture medium, The evident effect of 10(-6) and 10(-5) mol/L of CORT on the morphology of hippocampal neuron was found. Compared with control neurons, the activity of the cells was markedly decreased and [Ca2+]i increased in the neurons treated with 10(-6) and 10(-5) mol/L of CORT, but no change was observed in the neuron treated with 10(-7) mol/L of CORT. The death was either by way of apoptosis or necrosis in the cells treated with 10(-6) and 10(-5) mol/L of CORT respectively. The correlation analysis showed that a reverse correlation existed between [Ca2+]i and the expression of CaMK II. Either apoptosis or necrosis occurs in the hippocampal neurons treated with CORT. The increased hippocampal [Ca2+]i is both the result of CORT impairing the hippocampal neurons and the cause of the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and the decreased CaMK II expression.

The reactivity of human preformed natural antibodies (PNAbs) with various porcine pancreatic cells and its isotypes was investigated. Eighteen serum samples from patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 20 serum samples from healthy human subjects were collected. The frozen sections of the pig pancreas were incubated with these sera, and subsequently incubated with FITC-conjugated goat antihuman IgG and IgM monoclonal antibodies. The reactivity of human PNAbs with various porcine pancreatic cells was determined by indirect immunofluorescence staining technique. The results showed that 55.6 % of IDDM patients and 55.0 % of healthy human individuals contained PNAbs against porcine endocrine cells. However, the percentage of strongly reacting sera in the patient group was significantly increased as compared with that in the control group. All used sera from IDDM patients and 95 % of sera from healthy controls could react to one or more of the various pancreatic cell types, including: endocrine cells, exocrine cells, vascular endothelial cells, ductal epithelial cells and macrophages. The isotypes of PNAbs contained both IgG and IgM. In view of strongly positive reactivity of PNAbs with various porcine pancreatic cells, pretransplantly cross-matching test and graft pretreatment may be necessary for survival of islet transplants.

RESUMO
Objective To study the effects of the effective composition of Angelica sinensis injection on the functional state of platelet in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC),and its significance of therapy.Methods In 64 patients with UC and 30 healthy people, a-granule membrane protein (GMP-140), thromboxane B 2(TXB 2), 6-keto-PGF 1a were detected by means of ELISA.Platelet adhesion rate was detected by the platelet adhesion meter, von willebrand faetor related antigen (vWF:Ag) was also detected by the means of monoclonal -ELISA.Results The indexes of platelet activation and vWF:Ag in patients with UC were significanrly higher than those in the control group (P
RESUMO
88 patients with advanced schistosomiasis japonica complicated with hepatitis B, which was confirmed by positive HBsAg and/or HBcAg in liver with double perioxidase-anti-perioxidase (PAP) method, were analyzed clinically and pathologically. It was found that there were four pathological types in the livers of these patientss simple schistosomial liver fibrosis (SSLF, 16.3%), SSLF complicated with chronic hepatitis (18.2%), SSLF complicated with inactive cirrhosis (29.6%) and SSLF complicated with active cirrhosis(38.6%). Among the 88 patients, 43(48.9%) cases had no clinical manifestation associated with the damage of liver function and only 23(26.1%) cases had the history of acute hepatitis. The relationship between clinical manifestations and liver pathological changes was also discussed.
