Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of captopril combined with simvastatin for treating patients with early diabetic nephropathy.Methods 180 patients with diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into three groups,and each group had 60 cases,group A was given captopril for treatment,group B was given simvastatin and group C was received captopril and simvastatin for treatment.The clinical efficacy,renal function before and after treatment and incidence of adverse reactions were compared in three groups.Results The clinical efficacy of group C was significantly better than group A and group B ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ; after treatment,the value of Ma/Cr,SCR and Bun of three groups were lower than pre-treatment ( t =3.12,3.08,3.17,3.41,3.19,3.20,3.04,3.44,3.48,all P ＜ 0.05 ) ;and the value of Ma/Cr,SCR and Bun after treatment in group C were significantly lower than group A and group B ( t =4.58,4.69,5.02,4.89,5.11,4.87,all P ＜0.05 ) ;the incidence of adverse reactions in group C was significantly lower than the other two groups.Conclusion Captopril combined with simvastatin could significantly improve the clinical efficacy of the early diabetic nephropathy and had small side effects.

Objective To investigate the significance of levels of IL-8,TNF-α in serum of patients with aplastic anemia(AA).Methods Serum levels of IL-8 and TNF-α in 45 patients and 30 normal controls were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results The serum levels of IL-8,TNF-α increased significantly in AA and acute AA(AAA)group than in the control group(P＜0.05),there was no statistical significance between chronic AA(CAA)group and the control group(P＜0.05),and the levels in AAA group were much higher than in CAA group(P＜0.05).The serum level of IL-8 was positively related to TNF-αin AA group(r=0.682,P＜0.05).Conclusion There are immunological disorders in patients with AA and the overproduction of IL-8,TNF-α might be involved in the immunopathogenesis of AA,AAA.

A rapid and simple chromatographic procedure using HPLC-ECD is described for simultaneousdetermination of NE. E. DA. 5-HT with their precursor amino acid (Tyr. Trp) and their main metabolites (HVA. 5-HIAA). Using this assay,eight substrates are measured in cortex, diencephalon and brain stem of mice duing immunological response challenged by SRB6 3 days after challenged, the DA HVA in cortex, NE in diencephalon decrease obviously (p

A simple specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay for ne(?)ropeptide (NPY) in plasma and tissue extracts was developed. There was no appreciable cross-reactivity with related neuropeptides. The minimum detectable NPY in plasma and tissue extracts was 150-200pg/ml and average recovery was 85-90%. Reverse-phase HPLC reveals that chromatographic charecterization of NPY-Li in plasma and tissue extracts was very similar to that of standard NPY.

It has been found that Ginsenoside exhibits extensive pharmacological effects on animal and human.However,there have been few reports on these effects of Panax Quinquefolius saponin (PNS)so far.In this paper the immunologic effects of PNS were studied.Ⅰ.Immunologic effects of PNS on the immune cells of mice in vitror.The results showed that PNS could enhance ConA-induced splenocyte proliferation of mice,with the optimal concentration of lug/ml,The lymphokine(IFN,IL-2)production of splenocytes stimulated by ConA,and NKC activity of splenocytes also increadsed under the presence of PNS.Ⅱ.Effects of PNS on the immune function of mice in vivo The enhancement of spontaneous thymocyte proliferation,ConA-induced proliferation of splenocytes and thynocytes,ConA-induced production of IFN and IL-2 of splenocytes,NKC activity of splenocytes,and primary antibodyresponse to SRBC were examined.With the injection of PNS(1-2mg/20g/day)subcutaneously into mice for 7 days,

The specific binding of~(125)INPY to membranes from mouse cerebral cortex was investigated using equilibrium binding and kinetic assay.The membranes were preparated by different—speed centrifugation.The equilibrium binding of~(125)I—NPY to membranes at 37℃ to equilibrium was by 50 minute and showed sharp optimum at PH7.0—7.4.The bound,which can't inhibited by other related peptides,was inhibited by unlabled NPY spe—cifically(IC50=0.4nmoi/L).The binding sites for~(125)I—NPY were sensitive to treatment with tripsin and thiol reagents.Theequilibrium binding of~(125)I-NPY to cerebral cortex at 37℃ was characterized by a Kd value of 0.30—0.40nmol/L and the receptor densities were 0.40—0.45 pmol/mg protein.

The cDNA fragment of human c—fos oncogene has been obtained by a reverse transcription—DNA poly-merase chain reaction.Then the cDNA was ligated into pGEM3Zf(+)plasmid cut with Sma Ⅰ.with the re-combined plasmid,c—fos antisense RNA was synthesized in T7 RNA polymerase system.The primary appli-cation of anti-sense RNA is also studied in this article.

Objective:To investigate the Th1 type immune response effects of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide(CpG ODN) immunized with recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen(rHBsAg).Methods:The CpG ODN and rHBsAg were injected into the back leg tibialis anterior(TA) muscle of BALB/c mice for two times.The serum anti-HBs IgG sub-class ratio of IgG2a/IgG1 were detected by ELISA.The level of IFN-?,IL-2 and IL-12 in the supernatant of induced splenocyte with bioactived assay.The serum IL-4 and IL-10 level were detected by ABC-ELISA.Results:The anti-HBs IgG sub-class IgG2a titer of additional CpG ODN groups are obviously higher than those of other groups;The result showed that high level of Th1 type cytokines including IL-2,IFN-? and IL-12 were induced in CpG ODN groups,where the level of Th2 type cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-10 were inhibited obviously.Conclusion:CpG ODN has enhanced efficacy of rHBsAg for anti-HBs IgG sub-class production of IgG2a and induced the expression of Th1 type cytokines wherease inhibited the expression of Th2 type cytokines.

Objective:To investigate the effects of lymphocyte proliferation using the synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide containing CpG motif(CpG ODN) as immunal adjuvant immunized with the recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen(rHBsAg) in mice.Methods:BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups,injected into back leg tibialis anterior(TA) muscle for two times.The spleen and thymus lymphocytes proliferation was tested by MTT and()~3H-TdR incorporation respectively.Results:Analytical study showed that all groups compared with control the proliferation of spleen and thymus lymphocytes was increased obviously,except the specific proliferation of thymus lymphocyte there didn't obviously difference in CpG ODN plus vaccine group and the vaccine group.Meanwhile,the proliferation of the groups plus CpG ODN was much stronger than the not-CpG ODN groups in all the tests.Conclusion:CpG ODN has the ability stimulating the lymphocyte proliferation in mice obviously anti could have potential adjuvant effectiveness.

irAII was translated by SHR and WKA rat spleen lymphocyte and thymocyte RNA in wheat germ free synthesizing system. The translation efficency of irAII at the most proper concentration of SHR immune cell RNA is higher than that of WKA rat immune cell RNA. the result also showed that irAII translation was increased in the rat spleen lymphocytes stimulated by concanavalin A (ConA). Furthermore, irAII, irAI and renin-like were translated by MLA-144 cell (T lymphosarcoma cell) poly (A) RNA in cell free translation system from wheat germ. The results proved that the immune cells of rats produce irAII in a constitutive or inducible fashion for the first time.
