AIM: To study the effect of Lomerizine on the activity of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the bloodbrain barrier(BBB) and search for novel effective P-gp inhibiting agent against multidrug resistance. METH-ODS: Rhodamine123 (Rh123) was used to examine the activity of P-gp and RT-PCR to study the mdr mRNA expression in cultured rat brain microvessel endothelial cells (RBMECs). RESULTS: Lomerizine could increase the cellular Rh123 in RBMECs in a concentration-dependent manner. RT-PCR indicated that lomerizine could not down-regulate the expression of mdr mRNA. CONCLU-SION: Lomerizine can reverse multidrug resistance in the blood-brain barrier by inhibiting the activity of P-gp.KEY WORDS lomerizine; P-glycoprotein; bloodbrain barrier; RT-PCR

Objective To investigate the altered expression of TLR4 in alveolar macrophages of diabetic rats after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation and the effect of these changes on defending the infection. Methods Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups, group A: the control group; group B: the diabetic group; group C: the LPS stimulated group; and group D: the diabetic group with LPS stimulation. TLR4 in alveolar macrophages were measured by immunocytochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Results The expressions of TLR4 in group B and group C were higher than that in group A (P < 0. 001). The expression of TLR4 in group D was obviously higher than that of group B and group C (P < 0.001). Conclusion The expression of TLR4 of diabetic rats was higher than that of normal rats and became more higher after LPS stimulation, which is indicated that diabetic bodies were in the proinflammatory state, the mechanism remains to be explored in detail.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy and clinical practicality of DNA chip in comparison with serology in typing of human leukocyte antigen A (HLA-A) in Han's individuals of donor-recipients of transplantation. Methods 120 peripheral blood samples were obtained from donor-recipients of transplantation. Each sample was divided into two parts and HLA-A antigens were identified by DNA chip in one part and by serology in another. Samples in which the HLA-A typing results by these 2 methods were discordant were verified by polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP). Accuracy and clinical practicability of both methods were compared according to the typing results. Results Serological typing for HLA-A took 3 h, while DNA chip typing 4. 5-5 h. 112 samples have been typed successfully. Typing results were same in 91 samples and discordant in 21 cases. The verified results showed that DNA chip made 2 incorrect typing and the error rate was 2%. Meanwhile, serology made 19 mistakes, consisting of 5 antigens being incorrectly interpreted and 14 "blanks" turning out to be definable alleles. The discrepancy rate was 17 %. Conclusions DNA chip typing for HLA-A is suitable for clinical application in Chinese Han's population with a greater precision than serology. It may replace the serology in future after being improved and perfected.

[Objective] To investigate the relationship between the body constitution and the syndromes of the bronchiectasis patients and provide the basis for the clinical treatment.[Methods] Col ected 80 out-patients and in-patients of bronchiectasis in the first affiliated hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from May 2011 to March 2012. Al patients met with the inclusion criteria, adopted the standardization of physical scale for physical identifica-tion and dialectical type and analyzed the relationship between constitution and syndrome.[Results] ①The gentleness type, qi-deficiency type and yin-defi-ciency type were more popular in the bronchiectasis, fol owed by the phlegm-wet type, wetness-heat type, yang-deficiency type and qi-depression type. The special inherited type and blood-stasis type were very rare. ②The syndrome of phlegm heat obstructing lung was the top one in the Chinese tradi-tional medical syndromes(48.75%).The frequency of liver-fire attacking lung syndrome, hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency syndrome and qi-yin de-ficiency syndrome were 21.25%, 18.75% and 11.25% respectively. ③From different body constitution distribution of TCM syndromes in patients with bronchiectasis, it could be found:gentleness type, qi-deficiency type, yang-deficiency type, phlegm-wet type and wetness-heat type were most presented as phlegm-heat stasis lung syndrome. Patients with qi-deficiency type were most presented as qi-yin deficiency syndrome .Patients with Yin deficiency type were always performed as hyperactivity of fire due to yin-deficiency syndrome. Patients with lung qi-stasis type were liver-fire invading lung syn-drome.[Conclusion] Phlegm-heat stasis syndrome was the main syndrome in patients with bronchiectasis. It conformed to the pathological characteristics of deficiency essence with virtual reality. Different body constitutions decided the different traditional Chinese medical syndromes after the disease onset.
