AbstractObjective: To prove wheth er the levels of Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) was lower in women experiencing premature rupture of membranes than in women with normal aterm pregnancy in order to explain occurrence of pregnancy premature rupture of membranes at termin biomolecular (Hsp70). Method: This was an obse rvational resear ch and the study design was a cross-sectional study. The number of all samples was 60 women, divided into 2 groups and each group contained 30 women. Independ ent var iable: Heat Shock Protein 70 level, Depend ent var iable: Premature Rupture of Membrane. Data was analyzed by t test Result: Based on matern al character istic on both groups, the mean levels of Hsp70 in serum of pr egnant women with PROM lower (0.36) compared to normal pregnant group (3.94) and this difference was statistically significant (p<O.OOl). Diagnostic valu e of the power levels of Hsp 70 in th e PROM compared with norm al pregnancies analysis using Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC) in SPSS17.0 for Windows for by 0.833 or 83.3%, it can be concluded that the diagnostic value of the PROM Hsp70 levels were good (>50%). Conclusion: Theme an levels of Hsp 70 in premature rupture of membranes obtained lower levels than in normal full-term pregnancy and this difference was sta tistically significant.

In this study we examined the mechanism of corpus luteum (CL) regression by measuring changes in expression of prostaglandin G/H synthase-1 (PGHS-1) and -2 (PGHS-2) in day 4 CL and inducible heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70) in day 4 and day 9 CL of immature superovulated rats. The rats were superovulated and treated with 500 µg of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) on day 4 or day 9 after CL formation. Ovaries and serial blood samples were removed during the 24-hour period following treatment. Plasma progesterone was determined by radioimmunoassay while mRNA abundance and protein expression were assessed by semiquantitative RT-PCR and immunoblot analysis, respectively. One hour after PGF2α, both day 4 and day 9 rats exhibited a significant decrease in progesterone secretion; however, there was a greater decrease in day 9 rats. In ovarian samples removed on day 4, there was a significant increase in mRNA for PGHS-2 at 1 hour after PGF2α. PGHS-1 mRNA content remained unchanged. Immunoblot analyses showed an increase in PGHS-2 protein expression only at 8 h. There were no changes in PGHS-1 protein expression. In day 9 rats, ovarian HSP-70 protein levels increased by 50% after PGF2α injection; however, on day 4 there was no change in expression of this protein over the sampling period. These results suggest that expression of PGHS-2 may be involved in inhibiting progesterone production and that expression of HSP-70 may be required for complete CL regression in the rat.Key words: rat, prostaglandin F2α, corpus luteum, prostaglandin G/H synthase, heat shock protein-70.

Εισαγωγή: Η υπερπλασία του έσω χιτώνα παίζει μείζων ρόλο στην επαναστένωση (in-stentrestenosis). Στην παρούσα μελέτη αξιολογήσαμε in vitro την επίδραση της D-24851(κυτταροτοξική ουσία που σταματά τον κυτταρικό κύκλο στο στάδιο G2-M) στονπολλαπλασιασμό των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρων και μελετήσαμε την ασφάλεια και τηνδραστικότητα μίας ενδαγγειακής πρόθεσης (stent) επικαλυμμένης με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνει την D-24851, στην αναστολή της υπερπλασίας του έσω χιτώνα χωρίς ναεμποδίζει την αναγεννητική ικανότητα του ενδοθηλίου σε in vivo πειραματικό μοντέλο.Υλικό και Μέθοδοι: Γυμνά μεταλλικά stent (n=6), stent επικαλυμμένα μόνο με πολυμερήουσία (polymer-coated, n=7) και stent επικαλυμμένα με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνουν 31±1μg (low-dose, n=7), 216±8 μg (high-dose, n=6) ή 1774±39 μg(extreme-dose, n=5) της D-24851 εμφυτεύτηκαν στις μηριαίες αρτηρίες λευκών New Zealandκουνελιών. Τα πειραματόζωα θυσιάστηκαν στις 28 ημέρες για ιστομορφομετρική ανάλυση.Για την αξιολόγηση της ενδοθηλιακής αναγέννησης στις 90 ημέρες, 12 πειραματόζωαχρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την τοποθέτηση polymer-coated (n=3), low dose (n=3), high dose(n=3) or extreme dose (n=3) ενδαγγειακών προθέσεων.Αποτελέσματα: In vitro η D-24851 αναστέλλει την υπερπλασία των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρωνκαι επάγει την απόπτωση τους χωρίς να αυξάνει την επαγωγή της heat shock protein 70(HSP-70), μία κυτταροπροστατευτική και αντι-αποπτωτική πρωτεΐνη. Η θεραπεία με lowdoseD-24851 stents συνδυάστηκε με 38% (P=0.029) μείωση της υπερπλαστικής περιοχήςτου έσω χιτώνα και 35% (P=0.003) μείωση της επι τοις εκατό στένωσης του αυλού σεσύγκριση με τα γυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ο τραυματισμός και η φλεγμονή του αρτηριακού τοιχώματος δεν παρουσίασαν σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των ομάδων. Τα επικαλυμμέναμόνο με πολυμερή ουσία stents εμφάνισαν παρόμοια ανάπτυξη νεοιστού σε σύγκριση με ταγυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ωστόσο, όλες οι ομάδες των stents με D-24851 παρουσίασαν ατελήενδοθηλιοποίηση συγκρινόμενα με τα polymer-coated stents.Συμπεράσματα: Οι επικεκαλυμμένες ενδαγγειακές προσθέσεις με πολυμερή ουσία καιχαμηλη δόση D-24851 μειώνουν σημαντικά την υπερπλασιά του έσω χιτώνα. Λόγω τηςατελούς ενδοθηλιοποίησης, μακράς διάρκειας μελέτες είναι απαραίτητες για ναπιστοποιήσουν ότι η αναστολή του νεοιστού παραμένει και μετά τις 28 ημέρες.

Abstract Context Urinary aldosterone levels (Uald) are widely measured in the oral sodium-loading test to confirm primary aldosteronism (PA), but reliable studies on their diagnostic value are limited. This may be due to the difficulty in collecting urine with reliable accuracy, keeping oral sodium intake constant between patients. Therefore, we focused on 24-hour Uald after intravenous saline infusion in a hospitalized setting, which provides a reliable sodium load in consistent amounts. Objective Comparing plasma aldosterone concentrations (PAC) and Uald after saline infusion in the sitting position, to evaluate the accuracy in determining PA subtypes and the correlation of both measurements. Design and Setting This was a retrospective cross-sectional study in a single referral center. Patients Of 53 patients without renal dysfunction who were diagnosed with PA and underwent adrenal venous sampling, 16 and 37 were diagnosed with unilateral and bilateral PA, respectively. Main Outcome Measures Uald collected for 24 hours and PAC after saline infusion. Results The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for diagnosing unilateral PA was not significantly different between Uald and PAC after saline infusion (0.921 and 0.958, respectively; P = 0.370). The predicted optimal cutoff value of Uald was 16.5 μg/day (sensitivity, 87.5%; specificity, 100%), and that of PAC after saline infusion was 19.3 ng/dL (sensitivity, 87.5%; specificity, 97.3%). In studied patients with PA, Uald was positively correlated with PAC after saline infusion (r = 0.617; P &lt; 0.001). Conclusions We reassessed Uald in PA patients under sufficient sodium loading and demonstrated the correlation between Uald and PAC after saline infusion.
