OBJECTIVE To investigate the antitumor effect of cadmium (Ⅱ) complex of pyrazolone derivatives 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-propionyl-5-pyrazolone salicyloyl hydrazide-cadmium (Ⅱ) (Cd-PMPP-SAL) on the murine melanoma B16 cells in vitro and in vivo and its mechanisms. METHODS B16 cells were incubated with Cd-PMPP-SAL at 1.0, 1.5, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mg·L-1 for 24, 48 or 72 h. The prolifera? tion rate of B16 cel s was evaluated by MTT assay. B16 cel s were incubated with Cd-PMPP-SAL at 6.25, 12.50 and 25.00 mg·L-1 for 24 h, while cell morphology was observed by Hoechst33258 staining. Apop?tosis of B16 cells was detected by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI staining. The activity of caspases in B16 cells was detected by caspase activity assay. C57BL/6J mice were inoculated subcutaneously with B16 cells to establish a tumor-bearing model. Five days later, Cd-PMPP-SAL at 6.25, 12.50 and 25.00 mg·kg-1 was injected into tumors of C57BL/6J mice once a day for 12 d. The body mass was recorded daily. One day after the last administration, all the mice were killed and the tumor was harvested. Tumor volume and mass were measured, and the tumor inhibitory rates were calculated. Pathological changes of the tumor, liver and lung were observed under a microscope. The expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) in tumor tissues were detected by immuno?histochemistry. The apoptotic cells in transplanted tumor tissues were detected by TUNEL. RESULTS Cd-PMPP-SAL inhibited the proliferation of B16 cells. The IC50 was 4.946 mg · L-1, and 95% confidence interval was 4.24-5.65 mg · L-1. The apoptosis rates(12.8 ± 1.4)% and (18.4 ± 0.4)% of Cd-PMPP-SAL 12.50 and 25.00 mg · L-1 groups were significantly higher than those of control group (1.7 ± 0.1)% (P<0.01). The activity of caspase 3 and 9 of Cd-PMPP-SAL 25.00 mg · L-1 group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in caspases 3/7. The relative tumor volumes of Cd-PMPP-SAL 6.25, 12.50 and 25.00 mg · kg-1 treated groups from the 8th day of treatment were significantly decreased compared with the model group (P<0.01). The result of paraffin sections showed that the transplanted tumor tissues in Cd-PMPP-SAL 12.50 and 25.00 mg · kg- 1 groups exhibited different degrees of necrosis, but there was no significant pathological damage to the liver or lung tissues of mice. Compared with model group, expressions of VEGF and FGF2 in Cd-PMPP-SAL 12.50 and 25.00 mg · kg-1 treated groups were significantly inhibited (P<0.05), and apoptotic cell rates were significantly higher (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Cd-PMPP-SAL can inhibit growth of B16 cells in vivo and in vitro, which may be associated with induction of tumor cell apoptosis and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the potential relationship among brain vessels,hippocampus tissue and cell morphology in depressive rat model.Methods According to the weight-atching principle,thirty SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n =15) and depressive group (n =15).Compared with the control group,the depressive group was handled according to the demand of depressive rat model.After rats were scanned by 3.0 magnetic resonance on the 0th,2nd,4th,6th,8th week,respectively,hippocampus was picked out,taken photos and stained by HE.Microscopeat was used to observe hippocampus cell morphology and brain vessels,and hippocampus was described and analysed by Mimics software.Results Diameter and length of the middle cerebral arteries of the model group decreased with time increasing.Compared with the control group,these changes in the model group were significantly different on the 8th week (left:control group (0.31 ± 0.04),(5.53 ± 0.62) mm,depressive group (0.25±0.02),(4.64±0.61) mm,t =5.20,5.48 respectively,both P＜0.01;right:control group (0.30±0.03),(5.59 ±0.64) mm,depressive group (0.24 ±0.03),(4.72 ±0.67) mm,t =3.96,4.85 respectively,both P ＜ 0.01).The cells morphology of hippocampus was also changed with stimulation time increasing.The numbers of cell in DG area,CA1 area and CA3 area were decreased,with cell shrank,cells nuclear stained strongly and arranged loosely.Besides,the volume of hippocampus tissue in the depressive group also changed correspondingly with time.On the 8th week,it was significantly different (left:control group (40.62 ±2.32) mm3,depressive group (34.18 ±2.25) mm3,t =7.72,P＜0.01;right:control group (40.47 ±2.25) mm3,depressive group (35.63 ±2.48) mm3,t =5.60,P ＜0.01).Conclusion With stress time increasing,brain vessels,hippocampus tissue and cell morphology in depressive rats change obviously,indicating certain correlation among them.

Objective: To try to find out the morbidity of elderly chronic pulmonary disease's malnutrition by means of MNA and analyze the consistency between traditionalindex and MNA score. Methods: According to the score of MNA,we divided the 143 elderly pulmonary disease patients into three groups: A group(malnutrition); B group(malnutrition risk);C group(well nourished).The records included anthropometry,biochemical markers,dietary intake as well as the occurrence rate of pneumonia and respiratory failure. Results: There were marked differences on anthropometry,biochemical markers,dietary intake and the occurrence rate of pneumonia and respiratory failure among three groups. And the dietary intake of all three groups did not reach the standard of normal people. Conclusion: MNA is a good method that can be used to evaluate the nutritional state in elderly pulmonary disease patients.

Objective To construct two DNA vaccines based on two glycoprotein antigen segments of Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever virus (XHFV) and to evaluate the immune responses in BALB/c mice following vaccination.Methods Two recombinant expression plasmids pVAX1-GcⅠand pVAX1-Gc Ⅱ were constructed by inserting XHFV YL04057 strain Gc Ⅰ (1 229-1 349 aa) and Gc Ⅱ (1 443-1 566 aa) fragments into the eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1 and then were identify by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis.The recombinant expression plasmids were transfected into mice by hydrodynamics-based transfection.Immune responses induced in mice were evaluated by testing the proliferation of T cells with MTT,measuring serum antibody level with ELISA and detecting cytokines in the supernatant of spleen cell culture with ELISA kit.Results The recombinant expression plasmids were successfully constructed as indicated by the results of restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis.Expression of Gc Ⅰ and Gc Ⅱ genes in mice liver tissues was detected.Antibody titers in mice immunized with pVAX1-GcⅠor pVAX1-Gc Ⅱ were higher than those in mice immunized with pVAX1.Compared with pVAX1,pVAX1-Gc Ⅱ significantly enhanced the proliferation of splenic T lymphocytes and the expression of IFN-γ (P<0.01).Conclusion The constructed two DNA vaccines for XHFV can induce specific humoral and cellular immune responses in mice.pVAX1-Gc Ⅱ is better than pVAX1-GcⅠin immunogenicity and protective efficacy,suggesting that it can be used as a promising candidate for the development of DNA vaccine for XHFV.

Objective To establish a novel method for detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in phripheral blood of lung cancer patients with high sensitivity and specificity.Methods Experimental study.42 cases of initial treatment patient who underwent resection and diagnosed to be non-small cell lung cancer by biopsy were studied,including 7 patients at stage Ⅰ,9 patients at stage Ⅱ,16 patients at stage Ⅲ and 10 patients at stage Ⅳ.As a control group,20 cases of healthy volunteers were selected.A series of experiments was conducted to determine the efficiency of tumor cells isolation,in which varied concentration (50,100,200,500,1000 cells) of A549 cells spiked into 2 ml peripheral blood drawn from healthy donors.The blood was removed of unwanted erythrocytes by lysis buffer,and made the rest of nucleated cells incubate with anti-EpCAM magnetic beads,then separated and enriched by a specific detector.All epithelia cells were retained on a slide because of a magnetic force and identified by H&E staining protocol.On the basis of cell recovery rate we calculated the sensitivity of tumor cells isolation.20 blood samples taken from healthy individuals were also detected to validate the specificity of this method.Samples of 42 patients with lung cancer were assayed for CTCs detection by above method.The correction of CTCs quantity with the patients' clinical features,for example,ages,gender,clinical stage,tumor size was analyzed in lung cancer patients by chi-square statistics.The correction of recovery cells with the spiked cells were assayed by linear correlation.Results The recovery rate was ranging from 68％ to 82％ by spiking varying numbers of A549 lung cancer cells into 2ml blood samples of healthy volunteers.Regression analysis of number of recovered vs.spiked A549 cells yielded a regression equation of Y =0.6419X + 8.8875.The number of CTCs detected has signification correlate with the cells spiked (R2 =0.9916,P ＜ 0.05),Eighteen of the 42 patients (43％) were found have CTCs in peripheral blood.The detection rate of lung cancer cells was 0 at stage Ⅰ,the detection rate of lung cancer cells was 11.1％ at stage Ⅱ,the detection rate of lung cancer cells was 62.5％ at stage Ⅲ and the detection rate of lung cancer cells was 70％ at stage Ⅳ.The positive rate of CTCs has no signification correlate with ages and gender of patients and tumor size (P ＞ 0.05),has signification with the clinical stage (P ＜ 0.05).None of the peripheral blood samples of the 20 healthy subjects analyzed was found to have CTCs.Conclusions This novel immunomagnetic separation technology is a sensitive and specific method,which provides a new tool allowing for feasible and specific detection of CTCs in lung cancer patients.The level of CTCs increases with the clinical stage and tumor size increased,which has important value to discover the early stage micrometastasis and redefine the clinical stage.But further multicenter and large sample clinical research are needed to confirm its clinical value.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the dynamic changes of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels and severity and complications of patients with multiple trauma at the early stage.Methods Among 97 patients with multiple trauma in Emergency Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital between August 2015 and May 2016,12 patients were excluded as follows,(1) with burns or chemical injuries;(2) pregnancy or menopausal women;(3) had bacterial infection a week ago;(4) with chronic diseases.The other 85 patients with multiple traumas were classified into three categories according to the injury severity score (ISS).That is,the slight group (22 cases,9≤ ISS ＜ 15),moderate group (35 cases,15 ≤ ISS ＜ 25) and severe group (28 cases,ISS ≥ 25).Their venous blood samples were collected at 6,12,24,48 and 72 hours after trauma respectively,and the serum IL-1 β levels were measured using a specific immunoluminometric assays.The basal conditions including age,the hospitalization days and so on among these three groups were compared via ANOVA.The mean IL-1 β levels at above time intervals among three groups were compared.Finally,the relationship between the peak concentration of IL-1β and injury severity and complications was analyzed by multiple Logistic regression.Results (1) As the increasing severity of trauma,the patients with longer days of hospitalization and higher rate of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The levels of IL-1 β in the moderate and severe groups were remarkably higher than those in the slight group (P ＜ 0.02).(3) The IL-1β levels in each group peaked at 6 hours after trauma and began to decline.(4) Multivariate logistic analysis showed that peak concentration of IL-1 β was still an independent predictor for injury severity (moderate group:odds ratio,1.21;95％ confidence interval:1.05-1.39,P =0.007;severe group:odds ratio,1.20;95％ confidence interval:1.03-1.40,P =0.019) and sepsis (odds ratio,1.28;95％ confidence interval:1.10-1.50,P =0.001),but had no significant association with MODS and trauma mortality even after controlling other risk factors.Conclusions The serum IL-1β at 6 hours after injury could be used as an early effective indicator to evaluate the injury severity and infectionrelated complications in patients with multiple trauma.

Objective To explore the effect of neonatal exposure to different doses of Bisphenol A (BPA)on the hypothalamic -pituitary -testis axis in toddler and adolescent male rats.Methods Neonatal male Sprague -Daw-ley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups through random digital table method:control group,vehicle group,low -dose BPA [25 μg/(kg · d)]group,medium -dose BPA [50 μg/(kg · d)]group and high -dose BPA [250μg/(kg·d)]group.The rats were subcutaneously injected with respective agents on postnatal days 1 -7 (PND 1 -7).Pups were sacrificed on PND 22 and PND 50.The hypothalamus and testis were taken and weighed.The hypotha-lamic Kiss -1 mRNA and the testis androgen receptor (AR)mRNA were tested by using real -time fluorescence quan-titative and the levels of serum luteinizing hormone (LH),follicle stimulating hormone (FSH),testosterone (T)were tested by using radio immunity method,and inhibin B was measured by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results Compared with the controls,the level of serum FSH [(1 .610 0 ±0.693 2)IU /L,(1 .574 3 ±0.675 0)IU /L vs (2.362 9 ±0.580 3)IU /L](F =3.314,P =0.026),LH [(3.876 3 ±0.908 0)IU /L,(3.603 8 ±1 .350 2)IU /L vs (5.302 5 ±0.768 4)IU /L](F =3.1 39,P =0.027)and T [(0.383 8 ±0.1 77 8)μg/L,(0.442 5 ±0.21 4 1 )μg/L vs (0.782 5 ±0.282 1 )μg/L](F =5.1 06,P <0.01 )of medium and high -dose BPA groups,were decreased in PND 22,and the organ coefficient of testis [(0.952 90 ±0.049 1 5)%,(0.969 20 ±0.045 82)% vs (1 .022 80 ± 0.01 1 08)%](F =1 0.326,P <0.01 )and serum T [(1 .758 6 ±0.369 6)μg/L,(1 .71 8 8 ±0.395 7)μg/L vs (3.357 5 ±0.749 8)μg/L](F =1 3.799,P =0.01 2)were significantly decreased in PND 50.In high -dose BPA group of PND 22,the expression of hypothalamic Kiss -1 mRNA (0.068 80 ±0.01 1 79)was increased compared with the other groups (F =272.1 25,P <0.01 ),while in PND 50,compared with control group,the Kiss -1 mRNA (0.002 00 ±0.000 25,0.001 90 ±0.000 48 vs 0.001 40 ±0.000 1 7)of medium -and high -dose BPA groups was decreased(F =1 91 .826,P <0.01 ).Conclusions Neonatal exposure to the medium and high -dose BPA may impair the function of testis in toddler and adolescent male rats,and affect the hypothalamus -pituitary -testis axis.Neonatal exposure to the low -dose BPA does not have a significant influence on the hypothalamus -pituitary -testis axis.

This paper is a follow-up study of 329 children in factory-run nurseries in urban Shanghai. The investigation lasted for a period of one year for each index-child, focusing on the conditions of nutrition, development and diseases of the children of various ages.Comparison between nutritionl findings and RDA of China disclosed that calorie intake of most of the index-child groups were 80-85% of RDA, the only exception being the 6-12 months group where the average calorie intake showed 90%. Protein intake of all groups was over 80% of RDA. Fe intake was lower than RDA, except for 18-month-old and over.Weight and height of the children were compared with the anthropo-metric data established in 1985 (1985 data) for Shanghai children under six years of age. It was found that the average weight and height appeared differently according to their age. Average weight of children under one year old was slightly higher than 1985 data, while average height was lower than 1985 data once the children reached 10 months old. Average weight, however, became lower than the 1985 data after the children were two years old. Over 60% of the index between 6-18 months old suffered from anemia (IDA).Accordingly, it is requested that calorie and iron intake should be supplemented.
