Objective To study the expression regulation of GATA-3 on Th2 cytokines secretions in rats lung infected by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).Methods 20 SD rates were random divided into two groups: Control group (10 rats) and RSV-infected group(10 rats, the model was established by RSV intravasation).The airway responses were observed after seven week.Lung tissue of SD rats were stained with HE, pathologic examinations of lung tissue- stained were made.GATA-3 expressions in lung tissue were detected by western-blots, respectively.Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) in lung homogenate were detected by ELISA.Results Lung biopsy from RSV-infected group showed typical inflammation under light microscope.Airway resistance in RSV- infected group was higher than control group.Compared with control group( 1.231 ±0.31 ), the expression of GATA-3 significantly increased in RSV-infected group (1.743 ±0.21)( t =15.427, P ＜0.01).The levels of IL-4[(142.3 ± 12.3)ng/L] and IL-5[(167.5 ±14.2) ng/L] increased in RSV-infected group [(69.2±11.6) ng/L, ( 86.6 ± 14.3 ) ng/L] ( P＜0.01 ).There was a positive correlation between protein levels of GATA-3 and IL-4 in lung tissues (r=0.864, P＜0.01 ), and a positive correlation between GATA-3 and IL-5 in lung tissues(r=-0.756, P＜0.01).Conclusion RSV-infection may up regulate the expression of GATA-3 in lung, which contributed to inflammation of Th2 type.

BACKGROUND:Breviscapine has been shown to impact the reproductive capacity in rats with type 2 diabetes mel itus, but few reports concerned its mechanism of action.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of breviscapine on proliferating cel nuclear antigen and proto-oncogene c-fos expression in testis of type 2 diabetes mel itus rats.
METHODS:Total y 36 healthy male rats were randomly divided into control group, model group and breviscapine group with 12 rats in each group. In the model group and breviscapine group, rat models of type 2 diabetes mel itus were established by continuous intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Blood glucose reaching 16.7 mmol/L in rats was considered as the standard of model induction. In the control group, rats were given an equal volume of citrate buffer solution by single intraperitoneal injection. In the breviscapine group, rats were administered breviscapine 10 mg/(kg?d) for 4 consecutive weeks by intraperitoneal injection. Rats in the other two groups were injected with an equal volume of physiological saline at the same time point.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 4 weeks of intervention, serum testosterone testing, immunohistochemistry and PCR results showed that serum testosterone levels, proliferating cel nuclear antigen, c-Fos protein and mRNA expression:control group>breviscapine group>model group (P<0.05);blood glucose concentration:the control group

Objective:To discuss the results interpretation and clinical significance of Acinetobacter Baumanni ( AB) positive spu-tum samples .Methods:The anti-infection treatment of one patient with lung infection after colon cancer surgery in ICU was analyzed , and the results interpretation and clinical significance of AB positive sputum samples were discussed .Results:Although the culture re-sults of sputum samples were positive , the quality of sputum samples was low and the credibility was poor .The possibility of multiple drug resistance AB ( XDR-AB) screened by antibiotics selective stress was small .Meanwhile, the clinical infection symptoms were mild, and the treatment with imipenem was effective .Although the patient had high risk factors for the colonization of Baumanni infec-tion, XDR-AB was not a pathogen .Conclusion:When respiratory samples are AB positive , the quality of samples should be evaluated by smear results firstly , especially the existence of white blood cell phagocytosis or accompanying should be paid attention to , and then the possibility of AB screened by antibiotics selective stress and high risk factors for colonization should be analyzed .Finally, combined with the clinical symptoms of patients and the treatment efficacy before drug sensitivity tests , whether XDR-AB is pathogenic bacteria should be judged , and then the corresponding anti-infection treatment plan should be determined .

Objective To explore the physiological and psychosocial risk factors of the patients with somatoform disorders and to provide references for clinical psychological intervention.Methods Totally 60 patients with somatoform disorder and 60 normal controls were tested with biochemical analyzer,electrocardiogram machine,electroencephalogram machine,computed tomographic scanner,general situation questionnaire,minnesota multiphasic personality inventory(MMPI),toronto alexithymia scale(TAS),life event scale(LES),defense style questionnaire(DSQ) and social support rating scale(SSRS) to explore the physiological and psychosocial risk factors of the patients with somatoform disorders.Results The score of immature defense styles of the study group(4.04±0.89) were higher than those in the control group(3.43 ± 0.65)with significant difference (P＜0.05).The total and factor scores of TAS of study group((86.20±11.15),(21.12±3.28),(26.08±3.86),(18.21±4.69),(23.44±5.60)) were higher than control group((65.00±10.12),(12.43±5.18),(15.64±5.57),(15.56±3.16),(18.71 ±4.30)) with significant difference (P＜0.05).The MMPI scale scores of Hs (hypochondriasis),D (depression),Hy (hysteria),Men-Nancy (Mf),Paranoid (Pa),Psychotic (Pt) were higher in patients with somatoform disorder ((72.79± 10.50),(68.46±13.63),(79.03±12.12),(51.72±7.74),(57.98±10.60),(54.98±8.83)) than those in normal controls((51.66±10.11),(47.96±9.42),(51.47±11.90),(43.66±8.77),(47.67±6.69),(47.48±8.67)) with significant difference(P＜0.05).The total life event score and the negative life event score of LES of the study group ((89.66±68.60),(82.65±65.16)) were higher than those in the control group((56.00±56.79),(39.14± 46.05)) with significant difference (P＜ 0.05).Multiple factors logistic regression analysis showed immature defense styles,higher alexithymia score,higher negative life event score,higher HS,D,Hy of MMPI may increase the risk of somatoform disorders(OR=6.84,9.12,5.83,2.69,1.81,11.20,P＜0.01).Conclusion Patients with somatoform disorder are almost in normal physiological condition.They have the personality characteristics and significant alexithymia.Their social support are almost normal,but they have more negative life events and their defense styles are almost immature.

Objective To investigate the effects of informed consent on emotion and immunologic function in patients with laryngopharynx cancer.Methods Sixty patients with laryngopharynx cancer were divided into group A and group B by random digits table with 30 cases each group.In group A patients were informed consent,and in group B family were informed consent.The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores,as well as cellular immunity function were measured before informed consent and 2 weeks after surgery.Results The SAS,SDS scores and levels of cellular immunity function between two groups,differences was no statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).The SAS,SDS scores 2 weeks after surgery in group A were significantly less than those in group B [(43.17 ± 7.63) scores vs.(47.84 ± 8.46) scores,(37.43 ± 8.69) scores vs.(42.67 ± 9.82) scores,P ＜ 0.05].The CD3,CD4,NK cells 2 weeks after surgery in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (0.5762 ±0.0941 vs.0.5160 ± 0.0821,0.3832 ± 0.0751 vs.0.3140 ± 0.0561,0.1521 ± 0.0491 vs.0.1163 ± 0.0422,P ＜ 0.05),CD8 and CD4/CD8 between two groups differences was no statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The informed consent for patients with laryngopharynx cancer may relieve emotional disorders and avoid immunologic function decreasing.

Background and purpose: Solid papillary carcinoma (SPC) is an uncommon histological pattern accounting for <1% of breast carcinomas. It is a distinctive form of papillary carcinoma characterized by closely apposed expansile, cellar nodules. The present study aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic features, immunophenotype and prognosis of SPC of breast. Methods:We retrieved the data of 32 cases of SPC of the breast from pathology files, and determined the expressions of ER, PR, C-erbB-2, p63, Calponin, CK5/6, Ki-67, Syn and CgA by pathohistological observation and immunohistochemical examination. Results:All the patients were females with a mean age of 67.3 years. The clinical features were a palpable mass or bloody nipple discharge. The tumor was observed as a whitish-grey or yellowish-brown, lfeshy ifrm or soft, nodular circumscribed mass on gross examination. Microscopy showed solid and papillary area inside the capsule wall and that fine delicate fibrovascular septa were discovered amid the solid proliferation. The tumor cells were oval, polygonal, spindled or signet ring-like with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and contained mildly to moderately pleomorphic nuclei. Immunohistochemically, all tumor cells were strongly positive for ER and PR (++-+++), negative for C-erbB-2 and all cases were negative for CK5/6, p63 and Calponin in the cellular nodules. The positive expression rates of Syn and CgA were 68.8%and 78.2%, respectively. The average positive rate of Ki-67 in tumor cells was 7.5%(2%-20%). Twenty-seven patients were available for follow-up examination from 6 to 84 months and 25 patients were alive and disease free. One patient had tumor recurrence, and was alive after reoperation. Another patient died of the tumor metastasis. Conclusion:SPC is predominantly found in elderly females with distinctive pathological features and immunophenotype. SPC often carries an indolent clinical behavior, and even if accompanied by inifltration, very rare cases have recurrence and metastasis after resection, so its prognosis is better.

Objective:In order to explore the anti inflammatory mechanisms of ? melanocyte stimulating hormone (? MSH), the effects of ? MSH on the production of NO and proinflammatory cytokines in astrocytes induced by LPS were investigated Methods:Rat brain astrocytes cultured in vitro were stimulated with LPS or given ? MSH with LPS stimulation NO produced in astrocytes was tested with Griess reagent IL 1, IL 6 and TNF ? secreted from astrocytes were examined by MTT assay The expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) mRNA was examined with semiquantitative RT PCR analysis Results:The production of NO, IL 1, IL 6, TNF ? and the expression of MIF mRNA were significantly increased in astrocytes stimulated with LPS If giving ? MSH with LPS stimulation, the production of NO, IL 1, IL 6, TNF ? and the expression of MIF mRNA were markedly decreased Conclusion:[WT5”,6BZ]It is suggested that the inhibitory actions of ? MSH on the production of NO and proinflammatory cytokines in astrocytes are related to the inhibitory effects of ? MSH on inflammation in central nervous system

Objective:To investigate the effect of DKK1 on linearly patterned programmed cell necrosis (LPPCN) and vasculogenic mim-icry (VM) and the related molecular mechanism in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:A total of 173 human NSCLC speci-mens were collected to detect LPPCN by H&E staining, detect VM with CD31/PAS double staining, and investigate DKK1 and related protein expression by immunohistochemistry. The clinical pathological significance of LPPCN, VM, and DKK1 and the correlation of them were analyzed. Human NSCLC H460-DKK1 cells were engrafed in nude mice to evaluate the influence of DKK1 up-regulation on VM and LPPCN in vivo. Results:Approximately, 14.45%(25/173) of NSCLC had VM and 49.71%(86/173) had LPPCN. 25.6%(22/86) of NSCLC cases in LPPCN-positive group formed VM. Both of VM and LPPCN were all correlated with poor differentiation, late TNM stage, easy recurrence and metastasis and poor prognosis in NSCLC. DKK1 expression in the VM-positive group and the LPPCN-positive group was higher than that in the VM-negative group and the LPPCN-negative group, respectively. DKK1, LPPCN, and VM were positive-ly correlated with VE-cadherin, MMP-2,β-catenin nuclear expression and Twist1. H460-DKK1 transplantation tumor model confirmed that DKK1 promotes the expression of VM and LPPCN and related proteins in NSCLC. Conclusion:The increase of theβ-catenin and Twist1 expression induced by DKK1 may promote the formation of LPPCN and VM in NSCLC.

Objective: To investigate the role of T cell in the antitumor immune responses induced by MIF gene-modified tumor vaccine. Methods: MIF gene was transferred into FBL3 erythroleukemia cel l by adenovirus carrier and a new type of tumor vaccine was prepared. The chang es of the number and the function of T cell in spleen and lymph node was observe d. Results: After the mice were immunized with MIF gene-m odified FBL3 vaccine, the number of lymphocyte in spleens and lymph nodes increa sed markedly and the specific CTL activities of splenocytes also increased great ly. FACS analysis showed that the CD3+,　CD4+,　CD8+ T cells and CD28 posi tive cells in draining lymph nodes of MIF-FBL3 group mice increased more marked ly than that of control groups. When the wild type FBL3 cells were injected into the mice immunized with MIF gene-modified FBL3 vaccine, the growth of tumors w ere obviously inhibited and the survival rate of the mice was increased. Conclusion: It is suggested that MIF gene-modified tumor vaccine can induce specific antitumor immune responses mediated by T cells and may be a candidate for gene therapy of tumor.
