Adenovirus vectors are promising delivery systems for gene therapy. We established a new process for clinic trial of recombinant adenovirus vectors using a novel disposable bioreactor. The suspension HEK293 cells were inoculated into a 5 L disposable bioreactor with parameters control of pH, DO, agitation and temperature. After 6 days of a fed-batch culture, the final cell density reached 2.0 x 10(6) cells/mL. The culture was infected with Ad-IFNγ at an MOI of 30. The harvest was performed at approximately 48 h post-infection and crude viral lysate was obtained after 3 freeze/thaw cycles and centrifugation. The maximum titers of crude viral lysate was 1.49 x 10(13) Infectious units (IFU) and the bulk product specific was 3,800 IFU/cell. Purified Ad-IFNγ by anion-exchange chromatography and the final recovery of infectious unit reached 35.9%. The result demonstrates that an efficient and stable process of producing Ad-IFNγ using a disposable fed-batch bioreactor is established.

AIM: To study the protective effect of medicinal serum of Jiangtang compound recipe on endothelial cells which were damaged by H2O2. METHODS: The effects of medicinal serum of Jiangtang compound recipe on cell viability, concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), NO, endothelin-1 (ET-1) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECV304) damaged by H2O2. RESULTS: The medicinal serum of Jiangtang compound recipe significantly improved the structural change of ECV304 cells damaged by H2O2, suppressed the production of MDA and the content of ET-1, increased activity of SOD and the rate of animate cells, and promoted secretion of NO. CONCLUSION: The medicinal serum of Jiangtang compound recipe can resist the injury of ECV304 caused by H2O2, playing a role in the protective effect.

Objective To investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of modified laparoscopic Dixon surgery for mid-low rectal carcinoma. Methods From September 2004 to April 2007,26 patients with mid-low rectal carcinoma were selected to receive modified laparoscopic Dixon surgery.Through the anus,the rectum was pulled out,the tumor was removed,and then colon-rectum anastomosis was performed.Results All the operation was completed successfully.The average operation time was(166.3 ? 48.1) min,and the mean blood loss was(235.4 ? 124.7) ml.No patient had urethral injury,dysuria,anastomotic leakage,or other complications after the operation.The patients expelled gas(2.9?0.7) days after the operation.Their mean hospital stay was(8.8?1.4) days.During a follow-up of 15.7 months(6 to 27 months),3 patients had local recurrence,5 patients showed increased frequency of stool,and 18 had satisfied anal function.Conclusion The short-term results indicate that the modified laparoscopic Dixon surgery is safe and effective for mid-low rectal carcinoma,and is associated with minimal invasion.

Background:Psychological factor plays an important role in the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal disorders. Depression,anxiety may share the pathogenesis with irritable bowel syndrome( IBS),therefore,more and more attention has been paid to anti-depression and anti-anxiety in the treatment of IBS. Aims:To evaluate the effect of addition of flupentixol and melitracen tablets on IBS with depression and anxiety. Methods:Sixty IBS patients with depression and anxiety were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. Patients in control group were given live combined Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium enteric-coated capsules and trimebutine maleate,while paitents in treatment group were received flupentixol and melitracen tablets in addition to the above-mentioned medicine. Treatment course was 8 weeks. Hamilton depression scale,Hamilton anxiety scale and symptom score were evaluated before and after treatment. Results:Compared with control group,depression and anxiety in treatment group were obviously improved(P<0. 05);the relief rates of abdominal pain and diarrhea were significantly increased( P <0. 05 );and the total symptom score were significantly decreased(P<0. 05);the total effective rate was significantly increased(93. 3% vs. 76. 7%,P<0. 05). However,no significant difference in incidence of adverse reaction was found between the two groups. Conclusions:Additon of flupentixol and melitracen tablets can significantly improve the curative effect on IBS with depression and anxiety.

Objective To compare the efficacy of acrossing the injured vertebra percutaneous pedicle screw fixation and traditional open surgery for Magerl A thoracolumbar fractures.Methods Retrospective analysis 56 patients with single segmental Magerl A thoracolumbar fractures without neurological symptoms were stabilized,including percutaneous fixation in 26 cases and open fixation in 30 cases.The operation time,intraoperative,blood loss,incision length,sagittal Cobb angle,height of injured vertebral,VAS,ODI,were compared between 2 groups.Results The precutaneous group less surgical blood loss,incision length and postoperative go to the fields time than the open group (P ＜ 0.05).There were improvements in Cobb angle and anterior height in two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The precutaneous group had lower VAS and ODI scores postoperation (P ＜ 0.05).The fracture vertebral front height and Cobb angle had significantly loss at final follow up than on the third day postoperation (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The percutaneous pedicle screw fixation can achieve similar effect in the treatment of Magerl A thoracolumbar fractures without neurological symptoms than open surgery,with less iatrogenic injury,less intraoperative blood loss and quick recovery for patients.

Objective To observe the changes in the expression of renal tissue TNF-α , NF-κB and the interrelation to renal cell apoptosis, and their influences of Inula Britannica(an inhibitor of inflammatory signal pathway) in exhausted swimming rats, and to investigate the role of inflammatory signal pathway. Methods Forty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (CN, n=8), exhaustive swimming group (ES, n=24) and Inula Britannica group (IB, n=16). The rats of CN were quiet without swimming. The rats of ES swam to exhaustion and were sacrificed at immediately (ESI, n=8), 6 hour (ES 6 h, n=8) and 24 hour (ES 24 h, n=8) after exhanstiing swimming. The rats of IB group took orally Inula Britannica at the dose of 25 ml/kg body weight at 24 h before swimming and then swam to exhaustive state. The rats of IB group were sacrificed at 6 hour (IB 6 h, n=8) and 24 hour (IB 24 h, n=8) after exhaustiing swimming. The renal cell apoptosis was measured by the method of terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated d-UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The expression of TNF-α in renal tissue was examined by immunohistochemistry. The changes of NF-κB in renal tissue were measured by flow cytometry and immunnhistochemistry. The interrelation between TNF-α and NF-κB was analyzed by Pearson method, and the interrelation between TNF-α, NF-κB and renal tissue cell apoptosis was analyzed by Spearman method. Resulls The number of renal tissue apoptotic cells was increased progressively from ESI to ES 24 h rats (P <0.05). Immunohistochemistry staining showed that the positive expressions of renal tissue TNF-α and NF-κB were increased progressively at 0 h (0.136±0.009, 0.129±0.011), 6 h (0.171±0.011, 0.166± 0.009) and 24 h (0.229±0.008, 0.218±0.019) after exhaustiing swimming in ES compared with control group (0.109±0.010, 0.095±0.010) ( all P<0.05). The similar changes of renal tissue NF-κB was also revcalved by flow cytometry. The expression of TNF-α was positively correldted with NF-κB (r=0.955, P<0.01 ), and renal cell apoptosis was also positively correlated with TNF-α and NF-κB (r =0.953, r=0.939, P<0.01) in ES rats. Pretreatment with Inula Britannica, inhibited the up-regulation of expressions of renal tissue TNF-α (6 h:0.142±0.012, 24 h:0.130±0.010) and NF-κB (6 h:0.138±0.010, 24 h:0.136±0.011 ) induced by exhausting swimming. Conclusion Overtraining can induce the up-regulating expressions of renal tissue TNF-α and NF-κB, and Inula Britannica can partly counter the above changes in exhaustied swimming rats, which may be one important mechanisms of overtraining-induced renal tissue cell apoptosis and the anti- apoptosis effect of Inula Britannica.
