AIM: To observe the dysfunciton of myocardial nuclear calcium transport in rat myocardial injury and the effects of liqustraxin on it. METHODS: The model of myocardial damage was induced by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (ISO,5 mg?kg -1?d -1). Myocardial nuclei were purified with sucrose density centrifugation and identified zymologically. The activity of Ca 2+-ATPase was measured zymologically and calcium uptake was assayed with 45Ca 2+ isotope. RESULTS: Compared with the control,the Ca 2+-ATPase activity of myocardial nuclear membrane in ischemia group(exprimental) was decreased by 18.1% (P

Objective To assess whether treatment with compound danshen tablets plus alendronate would be safe and effective in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Methods 180 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis were randomized to receive combination therapy and independent therapy with compound danshen tablets and alendronate for 6 months. Scores of VRS were assessed,mean serum alkaline phosphatase, serum osteocalcin, urinary creatinine, urinary hydroxyproline, urinary calcium were detected. Bone mineral density of lumbar vertebra 1 ~5 was determined by dual X - ray absorptiometry. Results Mean serum alkaline phosphatase, serum osteocalcin, and urinary creatinine, urinary hydroxyproline, urinary calcium were statistically different between the combination therapy group and the independent therapy group, and bone mineral densities increased in all therapy groups while there was higher elevated level in the combination therapy group. Conclusions The combination therapy of compound danshen tablets with alendronate has a favorable influence on women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVEThe non-specific antitumor immunity effect of 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene was investigated by establishing an oral squamous cell carcinoma human peripheral blood lymphocyte-severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice chimeric model.

METHODSForty mice were randomly divided into five groups. All groups, except the non-immune reconstitution group (group D), had reconstructed human partial immune system. The control group (group A) was injected with Tca8113 cells. The Ad4-1BBL-B7-H3 group (group B) was injected with Tca8113 cells transfected by adenovirus containing 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene. The empty vector group (group C) was injected with Tca8113 cells transfected by adenovirus containing an empty vector. The non-immune reconstitution group (group D) was injected with Tca8113 cells. The non-tumor group (group E) was injected with PBS. The tumor volumes in each group were measured weekly. Human IgG in blood was obtained through the tail vein and was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Human CD3+ and D56 lymphocytes were assessed by flow cytometry. Model animals were killed on the ninth week. Differences in the expression of the natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) and toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) in tumor tissues of each group were observed by immunohistochemical method. 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene expression in mice tumor tissues was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the expressions of major histocompatibility complex 1 class related molecule (M1C) A, M1CB, and TLR2 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.

RESULTSThe tumor volumes of group B were remarkably lower than those in the other groups (P < 0.05). Human IgG and CD3+ and CD56+ lymphocytes were detected in the peripheral blood of immune-reconstituted mice. These lymphocytes were remarkably higher in group B than those in groups A, C, and E (P < 0.05). Higher NKG2D and TLR2 expression were observed in group B tumor than those in the other groups. The stable expression of 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene in group B was proven. The expression of M1CA, M1CB, and TLR2 were significantly higher in the group B tumor than those in groups A, C, and D (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe high 4-1BBL-B7-H3 gene expression in tumor tissues could successfully induce the proliferation of CD3+ and CD56+ lymphocytes. This expression can also directly or indirectly activate TLR2 and up-regulate the expression of NKG2D and its ligands (M1CA and M1CB), which result in an effective antitumor immune response.

Objective:To investigate the difference of CD3+CD4+and CD3+CD8+T cells between patients with advanced small cell lung cancer and with non-small cell lung cancer, and provide available reference for treatment.Methods: Peripheral blood was taken from 65 patients with advanced lung cancer which was included 14 cases of small cell lung cancer and 51 cases of non-small cell lung cancer, 20 cases normal controls.The expression of CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ on lymphocytes was analyzed with flow cytometry.Results:We found that the percentage of CD3+CD4+T cells in small cell and non-small cell lung cancer patients were both much less than that of normal controls.There was no significant variation in the percentage of CD3+CD8+T cells between advanced lung cancer patients and normal controls.CD4+/CD8+in patients with advanced small cell lung cancer were a lot less than those in normal controls.Conclusion:Both of the percentage of CD3+CD4+T cells in small cell and non-small cell advanced lung cancer patients were significantly decreased than that in normal controls.Patients who attacked with advanced lung cancer were severely injured in cellular immunity.

At present,the AIDS epidemic situation in college students is becoming more and more serious.In view of the particularity of colleges students and the lack of professional team for AIDS prevention and control in colleges and universities,there exists ethical issues when carry out the prevention and control for AIDS in colleges and universities such as the ethical issue in publicity and education,the ethical issue in AIDS behavioral intervention,the ethical issue in the consultation and detection for AIDS.This paper suggests that it should confront the current situation of AIDS prevention and control,improve the professional level of carrying out AIDS prevention and control,adhere to the necessary principles of AIDS prevention and control,and explore a new mode to construct AIDS prevention and control in colleges and universities.

Objective:To explore the effects of NOD2 gene on the proliferation and apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cells.Methods:NOD2 expression vector(NOD2-pEZ-M29)and NOD2-shRNA vector were established,then were trans-fected into Tca8113 cells respectively.Expressions of HBD-2 and NOD2 in the cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.Cell proliferation was examined by MTT assay and apoptosis by flow cytometry at 48h post transfection.Results:Compared with the control group,the expression of NOD2 and HBD-2 in NOD2-pEZ-M29 transfection group was significantly higher and markedly lower in NOD2-shRNA group.The proliferation rate of Tca8113 cells was markedly lower in NOD2-pEZ-M29 transfection group and signifi-cantly higher in NOD2-shRNA group while the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in NOD2-pEZ-M29 transfection group and sig-nificantly lower in NOD2-shRNA group.Conclusion:In Tca8113 cells NOD2 expression was positively correlated with HBD-2 ex-pression.NOD2 gene may promote the apoptosis,inhibit the proliferation of Tca8113 cells.

Objective:To explore the effect of supportive-expressive group therapy (SEGT) on alexithymia in patients with lung cancer.Methods:Totally 62 lung cancer patients were divided into control group( n=30) and intervention group( n=32) by coin flipping method.The intervention group received 6-week supportive-expressive group therapy and the intervention path was improved by action research method.There was no special intervention in the control group.The Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) were used for measurement, and statistical analysis was carried out by SPSS 21.0. Results:The emotional recognition disorder (Wald groupχ 2=6.055, Wald interactionχ 2=15.157), emotional description disorder (Wald groupχ 2=5.736, Wald interactionχ 2=28.912), TAS-20 (Wald groupχ 2=7.181, Wald interactionχ 2=28.126), anxiety (Wald groupχ 2=4.905, Wald interactionχ 2=30.491), depression (Wald groupχ 2=9.580, Wald interactionχ 2=29.417) and HADA (Wald groupχ 2=8.140, Wald interactionχ 2=47.851) had significant group effect and interaction effect at the pre-test, post-test and 1 month after intervention(all P<0.05). There was no significant group effect in extroverted thinking (Wald groupχ 2=1.161, P>0.05), but the time effect (Wald timeχ 2=6.381, P<0.05) and the interaction effect (Wald interactionχ 2=6.339, P<0.05) were significant in the three time points.The group effect of emotional recognition disorder, emotional description disorder, TAS-20, anxiety, depression and HADA score at completed intervention and 1 month after intervention were significant(all P<0.05). Compared with before intervention, TAS-20((52.94±4.77) , (52.06±4.07)), emotional recognition disorder((17.72±2.23) , (17.78±1.64)), emotional description disorder((13.44±1.94) , (13.41±1.79)), HADA((14.41±2.63) , (13.75±2.97)), anxiety ((7.03±1.64), (6.84±1.51)), depression ((7.38±1.45) , (6.91±1.75) ) at completed intervention and 1 month after intervention decreased ( P<0.05), while the HADS of control group only decreased at completed intervention ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SEGT can reduce alexithymia in lung cancer receiving chemotherapy, and this intervention has positive effect on improving anxiety and depression in lung cancer patients received chemotherapy who are accompanied with emotional cognitive impairment and emotional somatic symptom recognition disorder.
