Objective:To study the immunotherapy effects of different doses of human peripheral blood γδT cells on human hepatoma cells (SMMC-7721) xenograft model.Methods: (1)The nude mouse model of liver cancer was established by inoculated BALB/c mouse subcutaneous with human hepatoma cell line (SMMC-7721).(2)The mononuclear cells in healthy human were extracted from peripheral blood,and specific amplification γδT cells in vitro.(3) The nude mouse model divided into 5 groups by random.The positive control group was 5-Fu,negative control group was normal saline(NS).The treatment group was injected different doses of γδT cells(1×105,5×105 and 25×105)by nude mice tail vein.The positive control group injected 5-Fu by enterocoelia,negative control group injected NS by tail veins.The inhibition effect of different dose γδT cells on tumor was observed,including weight,food intake and growth conditions,etc.and the changes of tumor volume (TV),relative tumor volume (RTV)and relative tumor appreciation rate[T/C(%)] were compared with positive control group and negative control group.Results: Different dose of γδT cells had different degree of inhibition on nude mouse xenograft growth.RTV compared with saline negative control group was statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared with the positive control group of 5-Fu,the TV growth was significantly lower than the 5-Fu,degree of inhibition was similar in RTV each dose group,and all slightly higher than the 5-Fu positive control group.The each dose group of T/C (%)was slightly lower than the relative tumor proliferation rate of the control group of 5-Fu,but had no significant difference.Conclusion: The γδT cells from peripheral blood had significant inhibitory effect on nude mice transplanted liver tumor and it may be used as a new treatment for liver cancer immunotherapy provide experimental data.

Objective To explore the protective affect of individual earmuffs in microtia reconstruction using tissue expander.Methods 95 patients performed the implantation of tissue expander had been grouped into the experimental group(49 cases)and the control group(46 cases).Patients in the experimental group wore individual earmuffs,whereas patients in the control group wore traditional earmuffs.The survey including the information of patients' experience in wearing the earmuffs was carried out on the day when patients were given auricular reconstruction.Data collected from the two groups were analyzed to evaluate the aspects of permeability and safety.Results Patients in the experimental group complained less discomfort in sultry in permeability and tinnitus than patients in the control group.From the perspective of safety,there was no complaints of mosquitoes climbing into the earmuffs from the two groups.Because of the good adhesiveness of the individual earmuffs to the skin,the incidence of redness of skin in the experimen tal group was significantly lower than that in the control group.Conclusions Individual earmuff is a safe and comfortable nursing appliance which is practical for clinical application because of its good permeability,adhesiveness and less incidence of redness of skin.

After sequencing, we amplified and cloned foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) O/QYYS/s/06 whole genome by three fragments. These three fragments were cloned into vector P43 one by one to construct recombinant plasmid P43C, which carried the full-length cDNA of FMDV O/QYYS/s/06. Then, plasmid P43C and plasmid T7 expressing T7 RNA polymerase were co-transfected into BHK-21 cells. After 48 h, we harvested the culture broth from transfected BHK-21 cells and inoculated into 2-3 day-old sucking mice. After four generation passage, the virus harvested from sucking mice was confirmed to be type O FMDV by the indirect hemagglutination test, sucking mice's neutralization test and sequencing. The results showed that we have successfully constructed the full-length cDNA clone of FMDV O/QYYS/s/06 strain.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of ligustrazine on miR-20b/VEGF and BMP2/Smad1 pathways in subchondral bone of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) model rats, and to investigate the mechanism of ligustrazine for KOA prevention and treatment. METHODS: Totally 18 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group and ligustrazine group, with 6 rats in each group. The rats in the latter two groups were used to establish KOA model by intra-articular injection of 4% papain solution. From the 2nd day after the last injection, ligustrazine group was given intragastrical administration of Ligustrazine suspension (100 mg/kg) 2 mL; normal control group and model group were given intragastrical administration of isometrical normal saline, once a day, for consecutive 6 weeks. After the last after medication, the situation of bilateral knee articular cartilage of rats were observed after exposure. The knee joints of rats were sectioned and stained with HE. The pathological change of articular cartilage were observed by microscope and scored by modified Mankin’s score. mRNA expression of VEGF, BMP2 and Smad1, and the expression of miR-20b were detected by RT-PCR; the protein expression of VEGF, BMP2 and Smad1 were detected by Western blot assay. RESULTS: Model group and ligustrazine group suffered from cartilage injury of knee joint at varying degrees. Compared with normal control group, Mankin’s scores of knee joint and cartilage tissue were increased significantly in model group (P<0.01); mRNA and protein expression of BMP and Smad1, the expression of miR-20b in subchondral bone of model group were decreased significantly, while mRNA and protein expression of VEGF were increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, Mankin’s score of cartilage tissue were decreased significantly in ligustrazine group (P<0.01); mRNA and protein expression of BMP and Smad1, the expression of miR-20b in subchondral bone were increased significantly, while mRNA and protein expression of VEGF were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Ligustrazine can repair damaged articular cartilage in KOA model rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting the protein expression of VEGF and activating BMP-2/Smad1 signaling pathway via up-regulating the expression of miR-20b, and promoting the degradation of VEGF mRNA in subchondral bone.

OBJECTIVE:To ex plore the protective effects of Longbie capsule contained serum (called“LBJN”for short )on the apoptosis of chondrocytes induced by YAP inhibitor verteporfin and its mechanism. METHODS :Primary human knee osteoarthritis(OA)chondrocytes were extracted by two-step enzymatic digestion ,and then identif ied by toluidine blue staining and type Ⅱ collagen immunofluorescence staining. The effects of 2,5 μmol/L verteporfin alone or combined with 5%LBJN on cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Solvent control (0.1% DMSO)and 5% LBJN were set. Western blot assay was adopted to detect the expression of apoptosis related proteins (YAP,Bcl-2,cleaved-caspase-3) after treated with 0.1%DMSO(solvent control ),2 μmol/L verteporfin,2 μmol/L verteporfin+5%LBJN 和 0(blank control ),2.5% LBJN and 5% LBJN for 48 h. The expression of autophagy related proteins (mTOR,Beclin-1,LC3A/B) after treated with 0 (blank control ),2.5%,5% LBJN for 48 h were det ected by Western blot assay. RESULTS :The isolated cells accorded with the characteristics of chondrocytes. Compared with 0.1%DMSO, the apoptosis rates of cells were increased significantly after treated with 2,5 μmol/L verteporfin(P<0.05),and the effects of the two concentrations were similar (P>0.05). Compared with verteporfin alone ,2,5 μmol/L verteporfin combined with 5%LBJN could significantly decrease the apoptotic rate of cells (P<0.05). Compared with 0.1%DMSO,the protein expression of YAP and Bcl-2 were decreased significantly after treated with 2 μ mol/L verteporfin (P<0.05), while the protein expression of cleaved-caspase-3 were increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with 2 μmol/L verteporfin,protein expression of YAP and Bcl-2 were increased significantly after treated with 2 μmol/L verteporfin+5%LBJN(P<0.05),while the protein expression of cleaved-caspase-3 were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with blank control ,the protein expression of YAP ,Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 were increased significantly after treated with 2.5%,5%LBJN(P<0.05),while protein expression of cleaved-caspase- 3 and mTOR were decreased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :LBJN can block the apoptosis of chondrocytes induced by YAP inhibitor verteporfin ,and its mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of apoptosis related proteins and enhancing autophagy of chondrocytes.
