The sweet-ascending group had a remarkable effect among those dismantle prescription groups.
2.Signal pathway of CYLD and tumor
China Oncology 2001;0(02):-
Tumor suppressor CYLD is a deubiquitination enzyme that could regulate NF-?B and JNK signal pathways by deubiquitinating TRAFs,NEMO,Bcl-3 and p53,and in turn regulating the cell cycle and apoptosis.Loss or deficiency of CYLD would lead to the development of skin tumor,including multiple familial trichoepithelioma(MFT),familial cylindromatosis(FC),Brooke-Spiegler syndrome(BSS).Cancers like uterine cervix,kidney,and colon and hepatocellular carcinoma are related to the down-regulation of CYLD.

BACKGROUND: It is confirmed that panel reactive antibody (PRA) and its immune level is closely related to rejection activation, renal survival rate and the realization of the renal function. Study addressing the relation PRA level and acute rejection has great clinical significance for forecasting acute rejection and improving the renal survival rate.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relation of PRA and acute rejection prior to and after transplantation by detecting PRA level combined with patient rejection.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Retrospectively case analysis was performed at the Affiliated Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences from September 1998 to May 2005.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 633 patients receiving renal transplantation were collected, including 348 males and 285 females, aged 16-67 years.METHODS: Company Lymphocyte Tray produced by One Lambda and Biotest were used for this study, serum PRA level was detected prior to and within 2 months after transplantation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pre- and post-transplant PRA level and clinical rejection.RESULTS: Totally 591 patients were PRA negative in pre-transplant assay, and 164 patients were positive, 10.32% (61/591) patients occurred acute rejection; 42 patients were PRA positive in pre-transplant assay, and 71.42% (30/42) patients occurred acute rejection. The difference between PRA negative or positive and acute rejection had significance (P < 0.001). 427 patients were PRA negative in both pre- and post- transplant assay, 5.6% (24/427) patients occurred acute rejection. 164 patients were PRA negative in pre-transplant assay, but positive in post-transplant, 42.7% (70/164) patients occurred acute rejection. The comparison of PRA negative pre-transplant and PRA positive post-transplant combined with acute rejection had difference (P < 0.001). The correlation coefficient of pre-transplant PRA and acute rejection was 0.612, which was 0.658 between post-transplant PRA and acute rejection, there was obvious association when P=0.01.CONCLUSION: PRA plays an important role in forecasting renal rejection. The acute rejection probability is higher in patients with positive PRA; in other hand, the probability is lower in patients with negative PRA.

Penicillin expandase, also known as deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase (DAOCS), is an essential enzyme involved in cephalosporin C biosynthesis. To evaluate the catalytic behaviors of penicillin expandase under high penicillin G concentration and to identify mutants suitable for industrial applications, the specific activities of wild-type DAOCS and several mutants with increased activities toward penicillin G were determined by HPLC under high penicillin G concentrations. Their specific activity profiles were compared with theoretical predictions by different catalytic dynamics models. We evaluated the specific activities of wild-type DAOCS and previous reported high-activity mutants H4, H5, H6 and H7 at concentrations ranging from 5.6 to 500 mmol/L penicillin G. The specific activities of wild-type DAOCS and mutant H4 increased as penicillin G concentration increased, but decreased when concentrations of substrate go above 200 mmol/L. Other mutants H5, H6 and H7 showed more complex behaviors under high concentration of penicillin G. Among all tested enzymes, mutant H6 showed the highest activity when concentration of penicillin G is above 100 mmol/L. Our results revealed that the substrate inhibition to wild-type DAOCS' by penicillin G is noncompetitive. Other DAOCS mutants showed more complex trends in their specific activities at high concentration of penicillin G (>100 mmol/L), indicating more complex substrate inhibition mechanism might exist. The substrate inhibition and activity of DAOCS mutants at high penicillin G concentration provide important insight to help select proper mutants for industrial application.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in clinical efficacy on bronchial asthma at chronic persistent stage between acupuncture for warming yang and benefiting qi and seretide.
METHODSOne hundred and eighty patients of bronchial asthma at chronic persistent stage were randomized into an acupuncture group and a western medication group, 90 cases in each one. In the acupuncture group, acupuncture for warming yang and benefiting qi was applied at Dazhui (GV 14), Feishu (BL 13), Danzhong (CV 17), Dingchuan (EX-B 1), Jianshi (PC 5), Zhigou (TE 6), Taixi (KI 3) and Zusanli (ST 36), once every two days. In the western medication group, inhalation therapy with seretide was applied, 1 to 2 inhalations each time, twice a day. The treatment for 20 days was as one session in the two groups, at the intervals of 2 days after each session. Four sessions of treatment were required. The immune function indices were observed before and after treatment in the patients of two groups, named immunoglobulin IgG, IgM and IgE; peripheral T lymphocytes (CD3+), helper T lymphocytes (CD4+), inhibitory T lymphocytes (CD8+) and the ratio of CD4+ and CD8+; as well as the pulmonary ventilation function indices, named maximum pulmonary expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC). The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.
RESULTSThe total effective rate was 93.3% (84/90) in the acupuncture group, better than 88.9% (80/90) in the western medication group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the immune function indices and pulmonary ventilation function indices were apparently improved as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all P < 0.05). The improvements in the acupuncture group were much more significant (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture for warming yang and benefiting qi effectively controls the symptoms of bronchial asthma at chronic persistent stage and improves immune and pulmonary functions. The efficacy is better than that of seretide.
