Objective To explore the possibility of using HBV as a gene delivery vector, and to test the anti-HBV effects by intracellular expression of antisense RNA. Methods Two parts of HBV genome were reversedly recombined back into overlength HBV genome, which can produce HBV particle, to express antisense RNA complementary to S or S promoter region respectively. HepG 2.2.15 cell lines were transfected with these constructs and the empty vector pMEP4, then positive clones were selected and mixed in respective groups with hygromycin in the culture medium. HBsAg and HBeAg, which exist in the culture medium, were tested by ELISA method and intracellular HBc related HBV DNA was examined by dot blot hybridization. The existence of recombinant HBV virion in the culture medium was examined by PCR. Results The mean inhibitory rates of HBsAg were (2.74?3.83)%、(66.54?4.45)%(P

Purpose: To investigate the antitumor efficacy of intra-tumoral administration of plasmid DNA expressing mIL-12 in murine H22 liver tumor models grafted subcutaneously. Methods: Plasmid encoding mIL12 was constructed and examined the expression of cytokine in the eukaryotic cell through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The proliferation assay of T lymphoblasts was performed for measuring the biological activity of expressed mIL12. After intra-tumoral administration of plasmid DNA, mean diameters of the tumor mass and survival time were measured in each murine models group. Lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) assay was performed to examine whether or not treatment with different plasmid DNA could induce systemic cytolytic activity of lymphocytes against parental H22 cells. Histopathological analysis was operated after administration of plasmid DNA vectors in each murine model group. Results: Growth of liver tumor was significantly inhibited( F =4. 10, P =0. 03), and activity of CTL against H22 was enhanced in mIL12 gene therapy group as compared with the control group. In the focal treated with pDC511mIL12 plasmid DNA, inflammatory cell infiltration was more extensive and necrosis was more definite than control group at 1 month after DMA injection. Conclusions: Intra-tumoral administration of plasmid DNA encoding interleukin-12 could inhibit the growth of H22 liver tumor and induce the host antitumor immune response efficiently in the murine model.

Objective To improve the management of dyspepsia by evaluating the potential role of pretreatment gastric histology as predictive factors on the symptomatic response after Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods 240 FD patients with H. pylori infection out of 920 consecutive patients receiving gastroendoscopy due to dyspepsia were investigated, including 190 patients enrolled as the therapy group and administered with anti-H. pylori triple therapy. In addition, 50 patients were enrolled as the control group, in which omeprazole was an alternative to the triple therapy. The course of therapy in both groups was 7 days. Pretreatment gastric histology was evaluated by the updated Sydney system. C~ 13 urea breath test was performed to evaluate the H. pylori eradication results one month (both therapy group and control group) and six months (therapy group) after therapy. For each patient, the baseline, month 1 and month 6 symptom scores were assessed by a questionnaire of dyspepsia, including 12 symptom items of dyspepsia with scoring of severity. The relationship between pretreatment gastric histology and good symptom responses after H. pylori eradication was then analyzed.Results Of 35.3% and 42.6% patients with successful H. pylori eradication in the therapy group had a good symptomatic response one month and six months after the triple therapy respectively, higher than those from the patients who failed H. pylori eradication (month 1:35.3% vs 12.2%, P

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the serum levels of cytokines in severely burned patients.

METHODSThirty-six burn patients were enrolled in the study and were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the rhGH dosage used, i.e. small (0.3 IU.kg(-1).d(-1), A), large (0.6 IU.kg(-1).d(-1), B) dose groups and control group (C, with normal saline). The rhGH was administered beginning from 3 postburn days (PBDs) and lasted for 20 days. The dynamic changes in the serum levels of TNFalpha, IL-6, IL-8 and LPS at different time points were observed.

RESULTSWhen compared with those in C group, the serum levels of TNFalpha, IL-6 in A, B groups were decreased, especially in B group with earlier decrease and bigger range (P < 0.01). Simultaneously, the serum LPS level was decreased accordingly with evident positive correlation with the change in those cytokines (r = 0.9723, P < 0.01). But there was no obvious difference in serum IL-8 level among A, B and C groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONrhGH might decrease the production of postburn inflammatory mediators, especially in higher dose in dose-dependent manner for some degree. The clinical application of rhGH might be a supplementary measure in preventing and ameliorating postburn SIRS and MODS in severely burned patients.
