Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficiency of adenovirus-mediated interleukin-12 gene(AdmIL-12) and CD40 ligand gene(AdmCD40L) intratumoral transfer in established murine melanoma in vivo. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were inoculated subcutaneously with B16 cells to establish the murine melanoma model. The tumor-bearing mice were injected intratumorally with murine IL-12 gene and CD40L gene recombinant adenovirus. Tumor growth and the survival of tumor-bearing mice were observed. The CTL activity was measured in vitro by lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) release assay. Results: Both AdmIL-12 and AdmCD40L can be efficiently expressed in vitro and in vivo. The treatment with AdmIL-12 could significantly inhibit the tumor growth and prolong the survival period of the tumor-beraing mice. Splenic CTL activity of the mice was also enhanced after IL-12 gene transfer. But the anti-tumor effects of AdmCD40L gene were not significant. In contrast, Co-delivery of IL-12 gene and CD40L gene lead to stronger antitumor effects than IL-12 gene alone. Conclusion: Adenovirus-mediated interleukin-12 gene and CD40 ligand gene transfer together intratumorally has significant therapeutic effects on mice melanoma in vivo.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the applicability of EuroQol 5-Dimension 3-Level questionnaire (Chinese Version 1.0) (EQ-5D-3L) in the assessment of life quality of patients with idopathic sudden hearing loss. METHOD: In this retrospect study, the EQ-5D-3L was assigned to 60 patients with idopathic sudden hearing loss before and after drug therapy. Audiometry examinations were undertaken and concomitant symptoms were recorded. A Wilcoxon rank sum test was applicated to the comparisons of results of EQ-5D-3L before and after the treatment, a t-test for results of EQ-VAS and a Kappa measurement for the consistency of certain dimension correlated with the symptoms. RESULT: Sixty patients completed the five questions and visual analog scale of the EQ-5D. A statistically significant changes of pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression before and after the treatment were observed (P < 0.05). The domains of mobility, self-care and usual activities did not show statistically significant different (P > 0.05). The dimension of pain/discomfort was in agreement with the concomitant symptoms. And the result of EQ-VAS was in agreement with the therapeutic outcome. CONCLUSION It is suitable for the EQ-5D to be a general health measure with sensitivity to clinical change in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, which monitors the patients' outcomes.

Objectives To investigate the consumption of carbohydrate and distribution of dietary glycemic load (GL) in Chinese adults. Method Data from China National Nutrition and Health Survey in 2002 were used for this analysis. Dietary glycemic load was calculated as a function of glycemic index, carbohydrate content and frequency of intake of individual foods. Results Dietary glycemic load was contributed by 92% from cereals. People with low dietary GL /4184 kJ tended to consume more fat, less cereals, and less carbohydrates. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in those with low GL/4184 kJ, especially in urban residents. Conclusion People with low GL/4184 kJ tend to consume more fat, less cereals, less carbohydrates. The situation in urban residents is more serious. Based on factors including cereals intake, energy contribution from fat and carbohydrates, prevalence of malnutrition, overweight and obesity. A proposed range for dietary GL /4184 kJ in Chinese adults can be 80~120.
