Objective:To investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of intraperitoneal injectoin of IFN? on bronchial asthma in mice and the relevant mechanism. Methods: Thirty-six BALB/c mice were randomly equalized into 3 groups:group A (normal control group),group B (asthmatic model group) and group C (IFN? treated group). The asthmatic model was established in group B and C by immunization with ovalbumin (OVA) absorbed to aluminum hydroxide. Mice of group B and C received 0.25 ml PBS and 5 ?g IFN? intraperitoneally on days 23 to 30 once daily prior to ovalbumin challenge,respectively. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected on day 31 for determining the cellular composition and the concentrations of IL-4 and IL-5. Meanwhile,IgE in serum was determined. The pathological changes and the expression of GATA-3 were investigated in the lungs of mice. Results: (1) BALF eosinophils was significantly decreased in group C compared with those in group B ( vs ,P

Objective To investigate the role of IFN-? in prevention and treatment of bronchial asthma and the mechanism of its effect. Methods BALB/C mice were randomly divided into three groups: group A (control group, n=12); group B (asthma model group, n=12); group C (IFN-? intraperitoneal treatment group, n=12). The asthma model was reproduced in group B and C with ovalbumin (OVA) adsorbed to aluminum hydroxide. PBS (0.25ml) and IFN-? 5?g was respectively injected intraperitoneally in group B and C on days 23 to 30 once daily prior to ovalbumin challenge. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected on day 31 and its cellular composition was analyzed. The levels of IL-4, IL-5 and the IgE in serum were determined. The pathological changes in the lung and the expression of GATA-3 were observed. Results A notable decrease of eosinophils (0.3?0.2) in BALF was found in group C comparing with the group B (21.1?6.7) (P

To study the treatment of metastasis of experimental lung cancer with a recombinant adenovirus carrying IL 2 gene, concentrations of IL 2 and associated cytokines in murine lung lavage and blood were determined by ELISA at different times after intratracheal injection of the recombinant adenovirus. The lung metastasis nodes, survival time, survival rate were investigated in a C57BL/6 mouse model by intratracheal administration, and the NK activity and CTL activity were also determined by 51 Cr 4 hour release method. The results showed that IL 2 could be detected in lung tissue as early as 6 hours after administration of IL 2 gene, its concentration was higher in lung lavage than in peripheral blood, and was higher in experimental group than that in the control group; intratracheal use of the IL 2 carring recombinant adenovirus had significant therapeutic effect on metastasis of experimental lung cancer. Increased CTL and NK activities, longer survival time, and higher survival rate were observed in the experimental group compared with the control group. It is suggested that intratracheal usage of adenovirus vector carrying IL 2 gene might play therapeutic role on the lung cancer metastasis, indicating that gene therapy of lung tumors could be done through airway directly with recombinant adenovirus.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of lower respiratory tract infection caused by Chryseobacterium and its antimicrobial susceptibility in vitro . Methods: The clinical data of 52 cases of lower respiratory tract infection caused by Chryseobacterium were analyzed, and the antimicrobial susceptibility of commonly used agents was determined with the method of agar dilution. Also the 50% lethal dosage (LD 50 ) (as the marker of virulence) of 20 randomly selected Chryseobacterium strains for mice were determined. Results: (1) Thirty six was over 60 years old;all of 52 cases had underlying diseases, mainly were chronic obstruction pulmonary disease and malignant tumors. Seventeen cases had the history of incubation or tracheotomy for mechanical ventilation, and 35 had history of broad antibiotics treatment. The mean hospitalization time before infection were 35.6 d, and 38.5% of the cases had mixed infection with other bacteria. No specific clinical manifestations and chest X ray appearance revealed. (2) The in vitro activity of 25 agents showed that these strains were highly resistant. (3) The range of the LD 50 of tested strains was 4.11?10 6 5.68?10 8/mouse, suggesting low virulence of this kind of bacteria. Conclusion: The lower respiratory tract infection caused by Chryseobacterium has no unique features; the incidence of the infection increases in immunosuppressed old patients with various underlying diseases, although the virulence is relatively low. Because the clinical isolates are highly resistant, the antibiotics should be selected according to the results of bacterial sensitivity test.

Professor CHAO En-xiang thinks that several rules should be obeyed when we treat gangrenous appendicitis complication with paralytic ileus and ARDS.Firstly,we should adhere to the TCM characteristics of the holistic concept and treatment based on syndrome of differentiation.Secondly,we should formulate therapeutic method according to major pathogenesis.Thirdly,we should use drugs flexibly according to the patient's specific situation.Professor CHAO En-xiang considered it was the syndrome of dysfunctional activity of qi,fu qi being obstructed,dysfunction of middle-jiao in transportation.The therapeutical principle was regulating qi activity,dredging intestines and relieving distention.Nasal feeding with Dachengqi decoction adding Agastache rugosa,Tatarian Aster,paste umbilicus with mud of shallot stalk,fresh ginger,fennel and enema with Radix Aucklandiae.
