Objective To discuss the influences of programmed death-1 (PD-1) factor on osteosarcoma cells MG-63.Methods Osteosarcoma stem cells were sovted and identified through osteosarcoma cell strain MG-63 cells.The influence of PD-1 signal on T cells proliferation were detected by MTT. The expression of PD-1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Results Cancer cells had an obvious proliferation within one week, which showed the strong ability of proliferation and aggressivity.The formation of tumor cells spheres depended on the support of serum nutrition.The number of MG-63 cells proliferation in serum culture medium was significantly higher than the osteosarcoma cells spheres in serum-free suspension culture ( P<0.05 ) .Pluripotent stem cell marks that the expression of CD133 in cancer cell sphere was significantly higher than that of MG-63(P<0.05).RT-PCR results showed the PD-1 expression level of cancer cell sphere and MG-63 were increased significantly.Conclusion MG-63 cell line has the character istics of osteosarcoma stem cells.MG-63 cell line can express the corresponding cell markers.The expression of PD-1 also increase significantly which can reduce immune function of patients and is closely related with the occurrence and development of tumors.

Object To study the effect of geniposide in the prophylaxis of cholesterol calculus formation in gall ducts of Syria Golden hamster Methods Experimental hamster models with cholesterol calculus was prepared by feeding lithogenous diet with high content of fat and protein for 30 d with simultaneous administration of geniposide at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg/d ig or ursodeoxycholic acid as positive control at the dose of 80 mg/kg/d After the last dosage, the hamsters were sacrificed and their gallstone formation rate were determined by examining the smear of gallbladder content and their lithogenous index (LI) were calculated from the assay of lipoid substances in bile such as cholesterol (Ch), bile acids (Bs) and phospholipid (Pl) Results The gallstone formation rate in the blank model group, geniposide 50 and 100 mg/kg were 100%, 40% (P

Objective To construct a lentiviral expression vector of murine RelB for RNAi,and then to effectively silence the RelB gene expression of murine bone marrow derived dendritic cells for constructing the bone marrow tolerogenic dendritic cell,in order to provide an experimental foundation for a novel clinical therapy of autoimmune disease.Methods RelB shRNA sequence of mouse was designed by on-line designer software on Corp.Invitrogen,after synthesis and annealing,double strand oligonucleotides(dsoligoes)were cloned into the pENTRTM/U6 plasmid,then after sequencing,a positive clone was further subcloned into pLenti6/BLOCK-iTTM-DEST vector.It was then transformed into stb13 competent cell,and after sequencing,293FT cell line was transfected by above positive recombined plasmid and lentiviral packing materials.It was incubated for 48 to 72 h in a 37℃,5% CO2 incubator.Culture supernatant was harvested and stored at-80℃,then the virus titer was determined by serial dilution assay.Results It was showed from sequencing figures that all the pENTRTM/U6-RelB-shRNA plasmids were positive clone vector,and this positive recombinant vector was recombined with pLenti6/BLOCK-iTTM/U6-DEST vector.It was then transformed into stb13 competent cell and screen positive clone by ampicillin,and resequenced by the use of primer forward U6 primer.The results also showed that recombinant lentiviral vector was positive clone.Viral particle was packaged with other packaging material mediated by lipofectamine 2000 in 293FT cell line.Cultural supernatant was collected and stored at-80℃,and lentiviral particle titer was determined by serial dilution assay with 6?105/transduced unit.Conclusion Lentiviral shRNA expression vector of murine RelB gene for RNAi was successfully constructed.It might be a rational procedure to make tolerogenic DC,and then to develop a DC vaccine and DC-based immunotherapy for autoimmune diseases.

ObjectiveTo compare and evaluate the effectiveness of Airtraq laryngoscope combined with a Bougie and Airtraq laryngoscope alone for tracheal intubation in simulated difficult airway.Methods Four anesthetists and 4 clinical physicians of standardized training were enrolled in the study.The participants intubated the trachea of the ALS simulator manikin in 5 tongue edema scenarios simulating modified Cormack-Lehane grade 1,2a,2b,3,and 4 views and 1 cervical immobilization scenario.Results No significant difference in the rate of successful intubation was detected between two techniques(P＞ 0.05 ).In Cormack-Lehane grade 1,2a views,the duration of successful intubation in Airtraq laryngoscope alone [ ( 14.3 ± 1.3),( 17.1 ± 2.9) s] was shorter than that in Airtraq laryngoscope combined with a Bougie [ (26.6 ± 3.8),(36.4 ± 3.6) s ] with significant difference (P ＜ 0.01 ).Cormack-Lehane grade 2b,3,4 views,the duration of successful intubation in Airtraq laryngoscope alone[ (74.5 ± 6.5 ),(116.3 ± 9.8),(53.0 ± 6.1 )s] was longer than that in Airtraq laryngoscope combined with a Bougie [ (35.4 ± 4.3 ),(52.3 ± 5.0),(40.4 ± 3.8 ) s ] with significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionAirtraq laryngoscope combined with a Bougie can be quickly intubated in simulated difficult airway compared with Airtraq laryngoscope alone.

AIM To compare the effects of micronised fenofibrate with those of standard fenofibrate on regulating serum lipid. METHODS Wistar rats were fed by the hyperlipids food to induce hypolipidemia, and then orally treated with 20,30,40 mg?kg -1 per day micronised fenofibrate and 20,30,40,60,80 mg?kg -1 per day standard fenofibrate for 10 days. At the tenth day, serum total cholesterol and triglycerides were measured. RESULTS 1 In the same experimental conditions,the minimal efficacious dose of the micronised fenofibrate is 30 mg?kg -1 , but that of the standard fenofibrate is 80 mg?kg -1 ; 2 Using efficacious doses, both kinds of fenofibrate could decrease the content of triglyceride to normal level. They also could decrease the level of total cholesterol by 36 69%～51 56%. CONCLUSION The effects of micronised fenofibrate are better than those of standard fenofibrate, which mainly decreases the level of triglyceride. Micronised fenofibrate also decreases level of serum total cholesterol.
