0.05), but DPC coefficient increases along with concentration of DEHP (125 mg/kg, 250 mg/kg, 375 mg/kg) rising, and it can cause DPC significantly (P

Three hundred cerebrovascular disease (CVD) patients (disease onset <3 days) were evaluated for serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level at admission, and Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) or Oxford Handicap Scale (OHS) at baseline and 3 months. Based on serum CRP levels, the participants were divided into group A [CRP(1.20 ±0.35)mg/L], group B[CRP(4.98 ± 1.08) mg/L] or group C[CRP (19.34±12.27)mg/L]. Our results showed that serum CRP level was positively correlated with SSS (r = 0.39 or0.43, both P<0.01) and OHS (r=0.40 or0.42, both P<0.01) at3 months. Thus, evaluating serum CRP level within 3 clays of disease onset might be helpful in predicting clinical outcomes of CVD patients.

0.05). The generation of ROS increased obviously after the cells were incubated with them for 12 h, and the increase of ROS reached the peak treated for 24 h. The levels of ?? m were time-dependently decreased after treating with four compounds for 12, 24, and 48 h. Conclusion The grouth of both MDR KBv200 cells and parental drug-sensitive KB cells were inhibited to the treatment of four anthraquinone derivative in vitro. The mechanism of their effects is associated with the increase of the cellular ROS level and the decrease of ?? m.

Research based learning (RBL) is a brand new teaching mode implicated by Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine specifically designed for clinical undergraduates.The nature of RBL is about exploring unknown knowledge and designing and executing comprehensive experiments.RBL aims at creating an open,active student participation,and close student-mentor interaction teaching mode.IBL includes literature study,research aim selection,experiment design and implementation,statistical analysis,results and conclusions,final report writing and defense of the report.Our experience indicates that RBL can substantially improve students' scientific logic and critical thinking and experimental skills,and develop the spirit of a team-player.This scientific training enables students to receive more comprehensive scientific training,facilitate their subsequent clinical research and practice,and assist them to participate in more international scientific exchanges.We propose that the RBL mode should be adopted for clinical student education in other universities.

Objective To construct bispecific antibody BsAb1/17 against both IL-1β and IL-17A,express and purify the biologically active BsAbl/17 protein in prokaryotic system for further studies and applications. Methods VH1VL17-CL and VL1VH17-CH1 gene segments were constructed by overlap-PCR.Restriction enzyme sites Nco Ⅰ and BamH Ⅰ were designed at the 5'and 3' end primers respectively. The products of overlap-PCR were ligated to the Nco Ⅰ/BamH Ⅰ -prepared pET-27b vector. The recombinant plasmids pET-27b-VH1 VL17-CL(petA) and pET-27b-VL1 VH17-CH1 ( petB ) were transformed into E. coliRosetta separately. The expressing products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Neutralization activity of the bispecific antibody for blocking the induction of IL-18 expression by IL-1β in human T cells was determined by real-time PCR. Neutralization activity of the bispecific antibody for blocking the induction of IL-6 expression by IL-17A in HeLa cells was determined by ELISA assay. Results The structure of the plasmids pET-27b-VH1 VL17-CL(petA) and pET-27b-VL1 VH17-CH1 (petB)was confirmed by DNA sequencing. After induction, the fusion proteins were expressed mainly as inclusion bodies. The purity of the both proteins exceeded 90%. SDS-PAGE analysis suggests the relative molecular mass of both products expressed by petA and petB were approximately 38× 103, which is in accordance with the theoretical value. The results of Western blot and ELISA test demonstrated that BsAb1/17 molecule had binding ability to both IL-1β and IL-17A. The BsAb1/17 could block IL-1β to stimulate human T cell to express IL-18 and block IL-17A to stimulate HeLa cell to express IL-6. Conclusion We successfully constructed a novel bispecific antibody BsAb1/17 against both IL-1 β and IL-17A, and expressed biologically active BsAb1/17 protein in prokaryotic system.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol on interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced increase in monolayer permeability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).Methods Primary HUVECs were cultured and purified by immuno-magnetic separation.The expression of VE-cadherin in endothelial cells was determined by immunofluorescence.The HUVEC monolayer permeability was detected by the Transwell system.The cells were seeded on the upper chamber (2 × 105 cells/well) and cultured for 3 days after confluence.The cells were treated in two ways.The cells were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =36 each) and 5 of the 6 groups treated with 1,2,5,10 and 20 ng/ml IL-1β for 24 h except for control group.The cells were also randomly divided into 5 groups (n =30 each) and 4 of the 5 groups were pretreated with 0,10,50 and 100 μmol/L propofol for 30 min,and then treated with 10 ng/ml IL-1β for 24 h except for control group.The cells were radomly divided into 3 groups (n =18 each) and 2 of the 3 groups were pretreated with 50 μmol/L propofol for 30 min,and then treated with 10 ng/ml IL-1β for 24 h or 30 min.The expression of occludin protien,p38 mitogen activiated protienkinase (p38 MAPK) and phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK) was determined by Western blot.Results Compared with control group,5,10 and 20 ng/ml IL-1β significantly increased HUVEC monolayer permeability in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).10,50 and 100 μmol/L propofol inhibited IL-1 β-induced increase in the permeability of HUVEC monolayer permeability in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.01).IL-1β could down-regulate HUVEC occludin protein expression,and activate p38MAPK signaling pathway,and propofol inhibited IL-1β-induced down-regulation of HUVEC occludin protein expression and activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Propofol can alleviate IL-1β-induced increase in the permeability of HUVEC monolayer via inhibiting activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway.
