Objective:To investigate the type of imbalance of cytokines and its relations to the ALI induced by endotoxic shock.Methods:ALI rats model was made by injcting lipopolysacharide(LPS) into jugular vein.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed to measure interferon-?(IFN-?) level,interleukin-4(IL-4) level and the ratio of IFN-?/IL-4.Pathological examination was made under optical microscope at the same time.Results:Compared with normal control group,the IFN-? level,the ratio of IFN-?/IL-4 increased significantly(P0.05).Pathological examination of lung tissue proved the presence of ALI in rats.Conclusion:The imbalance of Th1/Th2 type cytokines exists in the endotoxic shock-induced ALI.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of islet auto-antibodies and ?-cell function in patients with ketosis-prone diabetes(KPD). Methods A total of 78 patients with KPD were divided into four categorical groups based on the presence or absence of auto-antibodies (A+ or A-) and of ?-cell functional reserve(?+ ?-):A+?+(group 1,n=13),A-?-(group 2,n=18),A-?+(group 3,n=28),A+?-(group 4,n=19).Islet auto-antibodies,including glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody(GAD-Ab),islet cell antibody(ICA)and insulin autoantibody(IAA) were measured. The clinical characteristics,biochemical parameters and serum peptide were compared among four groups. Results Compared with group 1,2 and 4,group 3 showed the oldest age at onset,and higher levels of BMI,hypertension,serum triglyceride,cholesterol,fasting and postprandial C-peptide. Patients in group 2 had the youngest age at onset,the lowest level of serum C peptide. The phenotypes of patients in group 1 and group 4 were intermediate between group 2 and group 3. Conclusions About 39.7% of patients with KPD have positive islet auto-antibodies. Patients with KPD show significantly different levels of ?-cell function,clinical characteristics and biochemical parameters,which may need different therapeutic strategies.

Objective To achieve the fusion expression of the entire human beta-defensin-3(hBD-3) gene. Method We synthesized two oligonucleotide primers accor ding to the codon preference of Escherichia coli. The gene was cloned into p GEX -4T-2 to establish the pGEX-4T-2-hBD-3 as the fusion expression vector by PCR. Transformed into E.coli strain DH5α, the express vector was induced an d ex pressed by IPTG. The fusion protein GST-hBD-3 was obtained by repeated cycles of freezing and thawing, cut by thrombin to attain the recombinant hBD-3 protei n. Result The result of the antibacterial peptide agarose diffu sion assay shows the antibacterial activity of the rhBD-3 against the S.aureu s exists, and it reaches 0.843U. Conclusion The fusion expr ession of the hBD-3 gene is successful.

Objective To investigate the role of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) on migration and invasion of lung cancer cell by upregulating matrix metalloproteinase-9 through nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway.Methods A549 cell line were overexpressed ILK and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) confirmed by cell transfection,siRNA interference,cell scratch test,real-time quantitative PCR and Western Blot.Results Over-expression of ILK stimulated MMP-9 expression in lung cancer cells(P ＜ 0.01).The addition of MMP-9 inhibitor doxycycline and anti-MMP-9 neutralizing antibody significantly impaired the wound healing capacity of ILK-transfected cells(P ＜ 0.01),as well as by in vitro matrigel invasion assay (P ＜ 0.01).In addition,overexpression ILK induced phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB subunit p65.Upregulation of MMP-9 was severely abolished by either BAY 11-7028,a specific NF-κB inhibitor,or siRNA targeted to NF-κB p65 in ILK over-expression cells.Conclusion The finding indicate that over-expression of ILK can promote the migration and invasion of lung cancer cell,and upregulate MMP-9 through the NF-κB pathway.

Objective The Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13) is used for Screening PTSD of children. The reliability and validity of CRIES-13 is good. To research the demarcation points of CRIES-13 (Chinese version) based on the reliability and validity analysis,and to improve the useful value of the scale.Methods In late September 2008, according affected condition, students were choosed who were fit for the research standard as subjects in two middle schools. First,general questionnaire (self-writing) and CRIES-13 were applied to the subjects. Second, according to K-SADS-PL, physician carried out diagnosis meeting and evaluation to 310 students who were classified by stratified rand sampling. Critical point of CRIES-13 was divided by K-SADSPL. The assessment value of it were sensitivity, specificity, veracity, PPV, NPV. The right choice of division was measured by ROC curve. Results When the critical score was higher than 30, the score of Se ( 0. 833 ), Sp(0. 836) and NPV (0.97) was in the high level. Conclusion When the critical score is higher than 30, the scale have a good discrimination for PTSD, non-PTSD and it can be used extensively.

Objective To test the reliability and validity of CRIES-13(Chinese edition). The Children Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13) was recommened for diagnosing PTSD of children. Methods In the last third of the September 2008,according to the suffering condition,600 students were choosed who were fit for the research standard as subjects in two middle schools randomly. The viability of CRIES-13 was weighted by testretest reliability,Cronbach' s alpha,Split half reliability. The validity of CRIES-13 was analysed by content validity ,criterion validity,construction validity. Results In the test-retest reliability of CRIES-13, the Spearman correlation coefficient of total,intrusion factor,avoid factor,high warkening factor were 0.79, 0.75, 0.71, 0.75. Significant correlation were found among these scores. The Cronbach' s alpha of population was 0. 81. The Cronbach' s alpha of three factors was 0. 79 ( intrusion factor) , 0. 71 ( avoid factor), 0. 65 ( high awarkening factor). CRIES-13's split-half reliability was 0. 85. In the content validity test,the Spearman rank correlation coefficient between total score and each item was 0. 83 (intrusion factor), 0. 75 (avoid factor), 0. 85 (high awarkening factor). The correlation between intrusion factor and avoid factor was 0.63. The correlation between avoid factor and high awarkening factor was 0.41. The correlation between intrusion factor and high awarkening factor was 0.41. In struction validity, variance orthogonal rotation factor analysis was adopted and got three general factors. Their cumulative contribution to total variance was 55.52%. In the criterion validity test,significant correlation was found between intrusion factor and SDQ emotional factor and depression scale total score. Significant correlation was found between high awakening factor and SDQ emotional factor and depression scale total score. Conclusion The reliability and validity of CRIES-13 was good. It could be used extensively.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate toxic reaction of Compound zedoary turmeric oil cream in experimental rats with long-term consecutive transdermal administration,and to provide reference for safe use of it in the clinic. METHODS:60 SD rats were randomly divided into blank control (cream matrix) group,Compound zedoary turmeric oil cream intact skin and damaged skin low-dose and high-dose(5%,10%)groups,with 12 rats in each group,half male and half female. All of them were given relevant medicine twice a day. 92 d consecutive medication later,general situation of rats were observed,and body weight,blood routine(WBC,RBC,HGB,LYMPH,etc.)and blood biochemical indicators(AST,ALT,PA,etc.)were all detected;systemati-cal observation of organs,organ coefficient calculation and histopathology examination were carried out. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in those indicators between Compound zedoary turmeric oil cream groups and blank control group (P>0.05),except hemoglobin decreased in intact skin low-dose group,while hemoglobin decreased,LYMPH and PA increased in dam-aged skin high-dose group(P<0.05). Pathology results showed that Compound zedoary turmeric oil cream had no significant toxici-ty for the main organs. CONCLUSIONS:Compound zedoary turmeric oil cream has no long-term toxicity to experimental rats.
