Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2014;30(11):1733-1741
The aim of this study is to clone the mouse T-bet promoter and enhancer, construct and identify the firefly luciferase reporter gene plasmid pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS for T-bet transcription regulation study and its function in signaling of multiple sclerosis. The promoter and CNS of T-bet were predicted by bioinformatics assay. The predicted fragment of mouse T-bet promoter plus CNS was amplified by PCR and cloned into pGL4.10. The recombinant plasmid pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS was transferred into Escherichia coli DH5α. The positive clone was identified by double digestion with Kpn I and Sfi I and DNA sequencing. Finally, pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS was cotransfected with pRL-TK into 293T cells and Jurkat cells, pRL-TK and pGL4.10 as a control. The luciferase activity in 293T cells (P = 0.012 2) and Jurkat cells (P = 0.002 2) was higher than that of the control group. A fragment of 1 028 bp mouse T-bet promoter plus 1 308 bp CNS was successfully cloned and the firefly luciferase reporter gene plasmid pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS was constructed. In 293T cells and Jurkat cells, pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS has the promoter functions. This work offers a basic material for the research of T-bet transcription.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the perioperative treatments of endoscopic sinus surgery for nasal diseases in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.
METHOD:
Clinical data of 12 cases of endoscopie-assised surgery such as nasal tumors resection,functional sinus surgery,correction of deviated nasal septum,low-temperature plasma hemostasis in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULT:
Serious bleeding did not take place with the 12 cases during surgery, and surgery progressed smoothly; one of patients had heavy nosebleed after surgery, however her condition was stable when received active treatment. Follow-up 3 months to 2 years, nasal diseases of 12 patients recovered well and symptoms were relieved; cardiovascular events such as hemorrhage, thrombosis and so on did not occur.
CONCLUSION
Due to physiological function of the heart dysfunction in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI,they often accompany a number of trouble issues such as medical disorders, oral antiplatelet drugs, surgery affordability loss and increase surgical risk. Correct and effective perioperative treatments, strictly surgical indications are really necessary which can keep patients safe through perioperative period.

Objective To investigate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride on brain injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in rats. Methods Thirty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 6 each): sham operation group (group S), CPB group, and low, median and high dose penehyclidine hydrochloride groups (group PL, PM , PH). Penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.2, 0.6 and 2.0 mg/kg were added to the priming solution in group PL, PM and PH respectively, while the equal volume of normal saline was added instead in group S. Blood samples were obtained at 2 h after termination of CPB to determine the plasma concentrations of neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S-100β protein. The brain tissues were taken to observe the ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons with electron microscope. Results The concentrations of NSE and S-100β protein were significantly higher in the other groups than in group S, while lower in group PM and PH than in group CPB and PL( P< 0.05). The S-100β protein concentration was significantly lower in group PH than in group PM( P < 0.05). The damage to hippocampal neurons was significantly attenuated in group PM and Ps. Conclusion Penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.6 or 2.0 mg/kg can reduce the CPB-induced brain injury in a dose-dependent manner in rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the expression of tight junction protein occludin in rat lung tissues.Methods Twenty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=10 each): sham operation group (group S) and CPBgroup.The rats underwent 1 h of CPB and were observed 2 h later in group CPB.The lung water content,neutrophil percentage and protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured.The expression of occludin in lung tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western-blot analysis.The ultrastructure of alveolar epithelial barrier was observed with transmission electron microscope.Results Compared with group S,the lung water content,protein concentration in BALF and neutrophil percentage were significantly increased (P < 0.05),the expression of occludin in lung tissues was significantly down-regulated (P < 0.05) and the damage to alveolar epithelial barrier was aggravated in group CPB.Conclusion The expression of occludin in lung tissues is down-regulated and the damage to alveolar epithelial barrier is induced after CPB,which may be one of the important factors in acute lung injury induced by CPB.

Objective To investigate the effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride on blood-brain barrier in a rat model of cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB) . Methods Sixty adult male SD rats, aged 4-6 months, weighing 320- 370 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 12 each) : sham operation group (group S), CPB group, and low-, median- and high-dose penehyclidine hydrochloride groups (groups LP, MP and HP). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10% chloral hydrate 350 mg/kg, intubated and mechanically ventilated. The femoral and jugular arteries and jugular vein were cannulated. CPB was performed for 60 min. Penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.2, 0.6 and 2.0 mg/kg were added to the priming solution in groups LP, MP and HP respectively, while the equal volume of normal saline was added in group CPB. Evans blue was injected via femoral vein at 1 h before the animals were sacrificed. Six rats in each group were sacrificed, their brains immediately removed and the hippocampi isolated for determination of Evans blue content. The other rats were sacrificed and the hippocampi isolated to determine the water content and observe the ultrastructure of blood-brain barrier. Results Compared with group S, the Evans blue content and water content were significantly increased in the other groups ( P < 0.05) . Compared with groups CPB and LP, the Evans blue content and water content were significantly decreased in groups MP and HP ( P < 0.05) . The Evans blue content was significantly lower in group HP than in group MP ( P < 0.05). The CPB-induced changes were significantly attenuated in groups MP and HP compared with groups CPB and LP. Conclusion Penehyclidine hydrochloride can protect blood-brain barrier against the CPB-induced injury and the effect is related to the dose.
