The effect of riboflavin deficiency on the fluidity of erythrocyte (RBC) membrane, the level of membrane MDA, the activity of RBC SOD and lipid peroxidation were studied. Growing male rats were fed with an experimental (riboflavin-deficient, RD) or a control (riboflavin-supplemented, RS, 22mg/ kg) diet for 7 weeks.The RBC membrane of RD rats contained higher level of MDA (0.6868?0.1732 nmol/mg protein) compared with the control (0.5548?0.0980 nmol/mg protein), while the activity of RBC SOD (7.745210.6101 nU/mg protein) of RD rats were significantly decreared compared with the control (8.2685?0.3010 nU/mg protein), which indicated the lipid peroxidation was elevated.Membrane fluidity was studied with fluorescence polarization (P) and mean microviscosity (?) using DPH as probe. The value of P and? of RD rats (0.2976 ? 0.0198, 3.9483? 0.3680, respectively) were significantly higher than the RS rats (0.2760 ? 0.0207, 2.875310.4634, respectively), which showed the membrane fluidity in RD rats was decreased according with the increase in lipid peroxidation. This study demonstrated that the RBC membrane fluidity was dicrcased in riboflovin deficient rats. It was relative to the increasing lipid peroxidation and decreasing RBC SOD activity.

Objective:To investigate the effect of activation of proteinase activated receptor(PAR)2 on mediator release from mast cells.Methods:P815 cells(a mast cell line) were challenged with various concentrations of PAR-2 agonist peptide,trypsin,tryptase or elasetase with or without PAR-2 antagonist peptide.The supernatants were collected and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) to detect the quantity of released IL-4,IL-6 and histamine.Results:PAR-2 agonist peptide,trypsin or tryptase induced a concentration-dependent IL-4,but not histamine release from P815 mast cells.Trypsin and tryptase induced IL-4 release from the mast cells was blocked by addition of PAR-2 antagonist peptide.No IL-4,IL-6 and histamine release was observed when P815 cells were incubated with elasetase.Conclusion:Induction of IL-4 release from mast cells by trypsin and tryptase through activation of PAR-2 added some novel information on the hypothesis of self-amplification mechanism of mast cell activation.

Objective To investigate the best exposure condition for reducing the radiation dose of the chest radiography and obtaining the good quality of images. Methods With different tube voltage (kVp), tube current & time (mAs), and focus-film distance(FFD) adopted, X-ray detecting phantom was exposed by means of automatic exposure control(AEC). The dosage absorbed in skin was detected; Spatial resolution capacity, low contrast resolution capacity and low contrast sensitive degree were tested. The space and density resolution capacity were tested. The chest image quality was appraised by the way of visual observation and the measure of film density. Results The different kVp and FFD were related to the emitting skin dose (ESD), the higher kVp and the farther FFD follows the lower ESD; the higher or lower mAs has no effect on the image resolution capacity , but it had effect on image noise. The density value and seeing effect of chest film with low dose had reached good image density and needs of diagnostics. Conclusion Under the condition of 120 kVp high voltage, FFD150cm, AEC reduced density and adjusting to the processing parameters of the CR chest images, the radiation dosage of the chest computed radiography can be reduced efficiently and the good quality of images can be obtained.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare nanostructured lipid carrier of adefovir dipivoxil(ADV-NLC),and optimize the formula-tion. METHODS:Using stearic acid and glycerin monostearate as solid lipid,oleic acid as liquid lipid,Gemini surfactant and poly-sorbate 80 as emulsifier,sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as stabilizer,solvent dispersion ultrasonic method was used to prepare ADV-NLC. And using particle size,polydispersity index,Zeta potential,encapsulation efficiency as indexes,single factor test was conducted to screen Gemini surfactant-polysorbate 80 ratio,emulsifier dosage(ratio of emulsifier to water phase),drug-lipid ratio, solid-liquid lipid ratio. RESULTS:The formula was as follow as 3% emulsifier (Gemini surfactant-polysorbate 80 ratio of 1:2), 4.5% drug-lipid ratio,solid-liquid lipid ratio of 6:5. The average particle size of the prepared ADV-NLC was(48.83±2.65)nm, polydispersity index<0.3,Zeta potential was(-28.7±1.8)mV,encapsulation efficiency was(77.65±0.03)%(n=3). CONCLU-SIONS:ADV-NLC is successfully prepared,and the formulation is reasonable and feasible.

This paper was designed to study the effects of cellulose, pectin and ag-ar at 10% level on the concentration of serum total cholesterol (TC), trigly-ceride (TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in rats. Male adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups and fed on basal diet, hypercholesterolemic diet (control diet) and 3 test diets (contain 10% cellulose, pectin or agar respectively) for 6 weeks. The results showed that all three fibrous diets were significantly lowered serum TC (P

The potency of an improved recombinant multi-epitope vaccine against FMDV type Asia1 was evaluated in this study .A multi-epitope gene based on FMDV type Asia1 was designed and a recombinant expression plasmid (pRE-oIgG) was constructed .The proteins ,RE-oIgG and 3D were expressed in E .coli cells and purified with Ni-NTA agarose resin by affinity chromatography .The proteins ,RE-oIgG ,3D and RE-oIgG plus 3D ,were emulsified in an oil adjuvant ISA 206 .Twenty-five female guinea pigs were randomly divided into five groups and intramuscularly vaccinated for with RE-oIgG ,3D ,RE-oIgG plus 3D ,an inactivated FMDV vaccine (type Asia1) ,and PBS .All animals were vaccinated for two times .Anti-FMDV specific an-tibodies ,neutralization antibodies ,protection potency ,and lymphoproliferation assay were detected by ELISA ,virus neutrali-zation assay ,challenge test ,and flow cytometry ,respectively .Results showed that RE-oIgG plus 3D elicited significant high-level anti-FMDV specific antibodies compared to RE-oIgG alone (P<0 .05) .All the vaccinated animals induced higher level lymphoproliferation responses in vitro except PBS .Both 3D alone and PBS produced the negligible neutralizing antibodies and anti-FMDV specific antibodies .RE-oIgG plus FMDV 3D not only elicited high levels of anti-FMDV neutralizing antibodies ,but also induced significant lymphoproliferation responses .More importantly ,RE-oIgG plus 3D conferred complete protection to guinea pigs against challenge with 1 000 GPID50 .Interestingly ,two of five vaccinated animals with 3D alone were full protected against challenge ,and other three animals significantly showed a delay of 2-3 days in the onset of clinical signs .Therefore ,we considered that RE-oIgG plus 3D induces strong humoral and cellular immune responses ,which may be used for control and prevention of FMD in the future .

Objective To investigate the clinical value of glypican-3 (GPC3) in the diaganosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),the contents of GPC3 in the serum and tissues of HCC patients were detected.Methods ELISA and immunohistochemical staining were applied to detect GPC3 expressing level in the serum and tissues in 79 cases with HCC,35 cases with post-hepatitis cirrhosis and 30 normal liver specimens and the resuits were compared.The influential factor of GPC3 content in the patients with HCC was analyzed by logistic regression model.Results The serum level of GPC3 in patients with HCC was (143.02±40.26) μg/L which was signifcantly higher than that in patients with post-hepatitis cirrhosis [(6.15±4.31) μg/L] and healthy controls [(4.47±3.22) μg/L] (all P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of GPC3 was signifeantly higher in post-hepatitis cirrhosis tumor-adjacent tissue and tumor-distant tissue.The expression levels of GPC3 was significantly positively correlated with tumor presence of distant mestasis (x2 =13.182,P ＜ 0.0) and clinical stage (x2 =4.250,P ＜ 0.05),and not correlated with sex,age,tumor size and the level of AFP inserum (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion GPC3 is specific the diagnosis of HCC.The joint diagnosis of GPC3 and AFP will improve the sensitivity of HCC.Therefore,GPC3 could as a biomarker for evaluating HCC condition and prognsis.
