Objective To study the inhibitory effect of oxymatrine on hepatitis B virus(HBV) in vitro. Methods Microparticle enzyme immunoassay, bDNA signal amplification assay was used for determining secrected HBsAg/HBeAg in the culture medium, HBV DNA from core particles in the cytoplasm and MTT colorimetric assay was used to assay the oxymatrine cytotoxity. Results The inhibitory rates of HBsAg and HBeAg were 40.57% and 48.27% by oxymatrine at the concentration of 2 000 ?g/ml. At 100～2 000 ?g/ml, it can remarkably decrease the level of viral core associated HBV DNA in the cytoplasm. No significant toxicity was shown in such concentrations. Conclusion Oxymatrine has a potential anti HBV activity in vitro.

Aim In order to provide the experimental basis to investigate the pathologic mechanisms and drug treatment of pulmonary fibrosis,establish the lung slice fibrosis model induced by transforming growth factor-?_1 (TGF-?_1) . Methods Lung was isolated and inflated with 0.4 % agarose solution, then was cut into slices. The lung slice viability was assessed through lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage and MTT assay after incubation of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 days. The sub-optimal time and dose of TGF-?_1- induced lung slice fibrosis were investigated via measurement of hydroxyproline (HYP), and lung slice fibrosis was examined with HE and Masson staining. Results The lung slice was viable for up to 9 days. The sub-optimal time and dose of TGF-?_1-induced lung slice fibrosis were 7 days and 2.5 ?g?L~ -1 respectively. Meanwhile, hydrocortisone did not decrease the HYP levels in lung slices of TGF-?_1-induced fibrosis. Conclusion TGF-?_1 (2.5 ?g?L~ -1 ,?7d) induced lung slice fibrosis, and hydrocortisone did not exert advantageous effect on this process.

Objective To assess the value of SYNTAX score to predict major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) among patients with three-vessel or left-main coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods 190 patients with three-vessel or left-main coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with Cypher select drug-eluting stent were enrolled.SYNTAX score and clinical SYNTAX score were retrospectively calculated.Our clinical Endpoint focused on MACCE,a composite of death,nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI),stroke and repeat revascularization.The value of SYNTAX score and clinical SYNTAX score to predict MACCE were studied respectively.Results 29 patients were observed to suffer from MACCE,accouting 18.5％ of the overall 190 patients.MACCE rates of low ( ≤ 20.5 ),intermediate ( 21.0-31.0 ),and high ( ≥ 31.5 ) tertiles according to SYNTAX score were 9.1％,16.2％ and 30.9％ respectively.Both univariate and multivariate analysis showed that SYNTAX score was the independent predictor of MACCE.MACCE rates of low ( ≤ 19.5 ),intermediate( 19.6-29.1 ),and high( ≥29.2) tertiles according to clinical SYNTAX score were 14.9％,9.8％ and 30.6％ respectively.Both univariate and multivariate analysis showed that clinical SYNTAX score was the independent predictor of MACCE.ROC analysis showed both SYNTAX score ( AUC =0.667,P =0.004) and clinical SYNTAX score ( AUC =0.636,P =0.020) had predictive value of MACCE.Clinical SYNTAX score failed to show better predictive ability than the SYNTAX score.Conclusions Both SYNTAX score and clinical SYNTAX score could be independent risk predictors for MACCE among patients with three-vessel or left-main coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.Clinical SYNTAX score failed to show better predictive ability than the SYNTAX score in this group of patients.

Aim To investigate the changes of phosphodiesterase4(PDE4,type 4 cAMP-specific PDE) activity,TNF-? and neutrophil recruitment in experimental rat lung injury(ALI).Methods ALI in the rat was induced by lipopolysacdharide(LPS).PDE4 activity was measured with HPLC,and the level of TNF-? was detected with ELISA,neutrophil infiltration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) and lung tissues was detected by cell count and morphological analysis.Result Lung tissue PDE4 activity significantly increased as early as 1 h,peaked 6 h,and then markedly lowered at 24 h after intratracheal administration of LPS,while there was a same time-course change of total white cell and neutrophil in the BALF(r=0.83,P

Aim Establish a novel mouse model of airway goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus hypersecretion.Method BALB/c mice were sensitized subcutaneously with ovalbumin(OVA) allergens in aluminium hydroxide at d 0,re-sensitized once intraperitoneally d 10 after first sensitization,and challenged with OVA aerosolly daliy from d 15 to d 21 after first sensitization.Inflammatory cell number in BALF,eosinophil infiltration in the lung tissue with HE stain and goblet cells in the bronchial mucous membrane with PAS stain were examined.Dexamethasone was employed to validate the model.Results Mice sensitized and challenged with OVA showed a significantly hyperplasia of goblet cells in the bronchial mucous membrane,increased mucus in the alveolar cavity,eosinophil infiltration in the lung tissue and increased number of inflammatory cells in BALF.Those pathological changes were inhibited by dexamethasone and mIL-2 plasmid.Conclusion This model helps to screen the new drugs for mucus hypersecretion and research on the pathological mechanism of airway mucus hypersecretion.

Objective To analyze the influence of donating kidney of marginal donors on the early prognosis of living-related kidney transplant recipients.Methods Sixty-six cases of living-re-lated kidney transplant patients between February 2004 and September 2007 were divided into the marginal donors group(28 cases)and non-marginal donors group(38 cases).Serum creatinine before and after surgery,creatinine clearance after surgery and perioperation complications were compared respectivelv between the 2 groups.Results The serum creatinine levels in the marginal donors group and non-marginal donors group were 154,131,127μmol/L and 132,117,118 ttmol/L on 7th day,1st month and 3rd month after transplantation respectively,and there were no significant differences between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).The serum creatinine level in parent-child donating kidney of the 2 groups Was 160,131,126μmol/L and 132,129,126μtmol/L on 7th day,1st month and 3rd month after transplantation respectively,and there were no significant differences too(P＞0.05).There was no difference in the rate of perioperation complications and creatinine clearance after kidney transplantation between the 2 groups.Conclusions The early prognosis of marginal donors'recipients is ideal.The marginal donors could be selected as the living-related kidney transplant donors,especially between parent and child,as long as they are evaluated according to stricter criteria.But the long-term prognosis of the recipients should be further observed.

Objective Parainfluenza virus is an important pathogen of lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children.This study was to search for a method for rapid culture and identification of human parainfluenza viruses from nasal swabs. Methods Nasal swab specimens were collected from 0-5 years old children with acute respiratory tract infection.The specimens were inoculated onto 96 plates with prefabricated LLC-MK2 cells and then centrifuged for 1 hour at 3000 r/min and also inoculated using the traditional culture method, followed by addition of virus mainte-nance medium containing 4 μg/mL TPCK trypsin.The cytopathic effect was observed daily, and hemagglutination and blood absorption tests were done at 2, 5, and 8 days after inoculation.In case of posi-tive result of either test, the specimen was subjected to immunofluo-rescence staining. Results Six strains of parainfluenza virus were isolated from the 83 nasal swab specimens, with a positive rate of 7.2%.There was a significant difference in the rate of separation be-tween the rapid and traditional culture methods after 2 days of culturing (7.2%vs 0%, P<0.05).The infected cells produced a cy-topathic effect that characterized by syncytium and crush formation.Hemagglutination and blood adsorption tests were positive at 4℃and negative at the room temperature.Immunofluorescence staining exhibited specific apple green fluorescence. Conclusion The method for rapid culture and identification of human parainfluenza viruses in nasal swab specimens was successfully established, which can be used to obtain and identify parainfluenza viruses with virulence and biological activity in 2 days.

Objective To analyze diagnostic value of renal biopsy in living-related kidney transplantation and the influence of kidneys from marginal donors on the early prognosis of recipients. Methods According to donors age and risks of donors, 142 living-related kidney transplant recipients from February 2004 to July 2008 were divided into marginal donor group (51 cases) and non-marginal donor group (91 cases). Renal biopsy was performed on 49 kidneys Postsurgical serum creatinine (Scr), the lowest Scr and post-transplant complications were analyzed between the two groups. Results Pathological changes were detected in 13 cases. The Scr at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months post-transplant and the lowest level of Scr in marginal donor group were higher than those in non-marginal donor group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences of Scr levels at 12 months, 24 months, 36 months post-transplant, the time required to return to the lowest Scr, and post-transplant complications between two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions The early clinical efficacy of the marginal donor is ideal, but the baseline of Scr of recipients is higher than that of recipients with kidneys from non-marginal donors. Renal biopsy has an important diagnostic and therapeutic value for both donors and recipients.
