[Synthesis and Properties of 1,11,15,25-Tetrahydroxy-4,8,18,22-Di (Bridged Dipropionate Carboxyl) Phthalocyanine Copper].

In this dissertation, we study the synthesis and character of new substituted Phthalocyanine. Due to the widely application of Pcs in the fields, such as the communication, medical treatment, chemical industry and so on, therefore, they have been a hot topic over several decades by scientists. Nowadays, scientists have prepared thousands of Pcs and their derivatives.

The role of Kupffer cells in rat liver regeneration revealed by cell-specific microarray analysis.

Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy is a process with various types of cells involved. The role of Kupffer cells (KCs) in liver regeneration is still controversial. In this study we isolated KCs from regenerating liver and conducted cell-specific microarray analysis.

Alterations in DNA repair gene expression and their possible regulation in rat-liver regeneration.

Rapidly proliferating tissue may require enhanced DNA repair capacity in order to avoid fixation of promutagenic DNA lesions to mutations. Partial hepatectomy (PH) triggers cell proliferation during liver regeneration (LR). However, little is known on how DNA repair genes change and how they are regulated at the transcriptional level during LR.

The number of the genes in a functional category matters during rat liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy.

Rat liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH) is a good model to study the regulation of cell proliferation. We isolated hepatocytes from regenerating liver at different time points after PH and used microarray Rat Genome 230 2.0 chip to analyze the functional profiles of all up- or down-regulated genes manually and with automatic gene ontological tools.

Pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor: More than a trypsin inhibitor.

Kazal-type serine protease inhibitor is one of the most important and widely distributed protease inhibitor families. Pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), also known as serine protease inhibitor Kazal type I(SPINK1), binds rapidly to trypsin, inhibits its activity and is likely to protect the pancreas from prematurely activated trypsinogen. Therefore, it is an important factor in the onset of pancreatitis.

Analysis of time-course gene expression profiles of sinusoidal endothelial cells during liver regeneration in rats.

Liver regeneration (LR) after partial hepatectomy (PH) requires the coordinate contribution of different cell types. Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), representing the largest population of nonparenchymal cells, are proven to be crucial in LR. However, the details about their implications in regeneration are not still clear.

[Transcriptome atlas of serine family amino acid metabolism-related genes in eight rat regenerating liver cell types.].

To explore the transcription profiles of serine family amino acid metabolism-related genes in eight liver cell types during rat liver regeneration (LR), eight types of rat regenerating liver cells were isolated using the combination of percoll density gradient centrifugation and immunomagnetic bead methods. Then, the expression profiles of the genes associated with metabolism of serine family amino acid in rat liver regeneration were detected by Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array.

Reference gene selection for real-time RT-PCR in eight kinds of rat regenerating hepatic cells.

Liver regeneration (LR) is a process during which the liver recovers its mass and function after damage due to various causes such as partial hepatectomy (PH). It involves a sequence of well-orchestrated changes in physiological and biochemical activities, especially in the gene expression profile in a variety of liver cells. In order to produce reliable gene expression of target genes in eight kinds of rat hepatic cells during LR, the determination of internal control housekeeping genes (HKGs) is required.
