Human kerotinocyte growth factor (hKGF) gene amplified by PCR was inserted into the shuttle vector pAdTrack-CMV to get the recombinant plasmid pAdTrack-CMV-hKGF, which was linearized with Pme I and transferred into Escherichia coli BJ5183 containing the adenoviral bone plasmid pAdEasy-1 to obtain the recombinant adenoviral plasmid pAdEasy-hKGF. The recombinant adenoviral plasmid was then transfected into HEK-293 cell lines via Lipofectamine 2000 to package and amplify the recombinant adenovirus containing hKGF gene detected by PCR. The recombinant adenovirus produced could effectively infect HaCat cells. The result of Western blotting showed that HaCat cells infected with the recombinant adenovirus expressed and secreted hKGF protein.

Objective To investigate the change of the neutrophil apoptosis and neutrophil respiratory burst in the patients and the effect of ulinastatin on the apoptosis of neutrophil and respiratory burst of neutrophil during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Sixty-two patients undergoing valve replacement with CPB were randomly divided into two groups: ulinastatin group (U group, 31 cases) and control group (C group, 31 cases). In U group patients received ulinastatin after induction of anesthesia. In C group patients received equal volume of normal saline, instead of ulinastatin. Arterial blood was obtained before operation (T1), 30 min after the start of CPB (T2), 30 min after the termination of CPB (T3). The apoptosis of neutrophil and respiratory burst of neutrophil were measured by flow cytometer. The level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured by kit. Results In C group, compared with T1 [(66.57±5.93)%], the rate of the apoptosis of neutrophil was significantly decreased at T2[(55.37±3.51)%] and T3 [(48.92±4.21)%] (P<0.05). And in U group, compared with T1 [(73.57±7.94)%], the rate of the apoptosis of neutrophil was significantly decreased at T2 [(68.34±4.92)% ] and T3 [(62.13±4.76)%] (P<0.05), And it reached to the minimum at T3. The rate of the neutrephil apeptosis was significantly lower in C group than that in U group (P<0.05). The respiratory burst of neutrophil increased significantly after the start of CPB and reached to the peak at T3[C group (1422.50±89.75) MCF,U group (1156.52±93.20) MCF]. The respiratory burst of neutrophil in U group was significandy lower than that in C group at T2 and T3 (P<0.05). The vitality of SOD decreased significantly after the start of operation in the two groups (P<0.05). The level of MDA increased significantly after the start of operation in the two groups, and reached to the peak at T3. The vitality of SOD in C group was significantly lower than that in U group at T3 (P<0.05). The level of MDA in C group was significantly higher than that in U group at T3 (P<0.05). Conclusions The rate of neutrophil apoptosis decreased and the respiratory burst of neutrophil increased during CPB. By improving the apoptosis of neutrophil and reducing the respiratory burst of neutrophil, ulinastatin can inhibit inflammatory reaction during CPB. Meanwhile, ulinastatin can improve the vitality of SOD and reduce the level of MDA. In conclusion, ulinastatin has a significant protective effect during CPB.

Objective To observe the effects of electro-acupuncture ( EA ) on learning, memory and the morphology of hippocampal neural tissues in rats with a model of chronic cerebral ischemia.Methods One hundred and twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Chronic cerebral ischemia models were successfully established in 104 of them, and those rats were randomly divided into an EA group and a model group with 52 rats each. These were further subdivided into 1,2, 4 and 6 week subgroups with 13 rats in each. The EA group was given EA. The changes in spatial learning and memory ability were observed using a Morris water maze. The morphological changes in hippocampal nerve tissue were observed by HE staining.Results The escape latency in the EA group was significantly different from the model group at the 2nd, 4th and 6th week. The nerve cells in the dentate gyrus were more tightly and consistently lined-up and had rich layers, and the structures in the EA group were better than in the model group.Conclusions EA can improve spatial learning and memory and promote the repair of injury after cerebral ischemia.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)/carbon monoxide (CO) system on restenosis after balloon angioplasty and relative mechanism. Methods Fifty rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups. Control group received normal chow (Control group), the other rabbits received 1.5% cholesterol diet (Chol group and SH group) or 1.5%cholesterol diet plus hemin (Hem group) or zinc protoporphyrin Ⅸ (Znpp group) for 10 weeks. At the third week of experiment, the three experimental groups underwent balloon injury at one side common carotid artery. Results Compared with control group, arterial nitric oxide production and nitricoxide synthase activity were significantly decreased, while HO-1 expression and CO production were significantly increased (all P<0. 01 ) in Chol group. The intima thickness and ratio of intima/media (I/M) were lower in Hem group than in Chol group [(281.47± 21.10) μm vs. (442.17 ±59.14) μm, 2.49 ± 0. 17 vs. 3.99 ± 0. 52, respectively]. While arterial HO-1 expression and CO production were increased markedly, endothelin-1 expression was distinctly reduced in Hem group group than in Chol group. Compared with Chol group, arterial HO-1 expression and CO production were decreased obviously, while endothelin-1 expression and intima thickness and ratio of intima/media [(698.71±58. 37) μm, 6.17±0. 52]were significantly increased in Znpp group (all P<0. 01).Conclusions The HO-1/CO system plays a protective role on improving endothelium function and restraining neointimal proliferation by compensating and regulating nitricoxide synthase/nitric oxide system and lowering endothelin -1 expression so as to inhibit restenosis after balloon injury.
