Malignant lymphoma is a common malignancy. From the perspective of the traditional Chinese medi-cine (TCM), the etiology and pathogenesis of malignant lymphoma are related to dampness, phlegm, toxicity, stasis and deficiency. Basic TCM principles for lymphoma syndrome differentiation and treatment are to strengthen the body resistance and eliminate pathogenic factors. Eliminating dampness, dissolving phlegm, detoxification, dissolv-ing stasis and strengthening body resistance are the principal TCM therapeutic methods for lymphoma treatment. Contemporary TCM physicians have developed Yi-Hua decoction, Zi-Niu powder, Ke-Liu capsule, Wu's Xiao-Liu powder and other herbal formulas, and 37 patents based on Chinese herbs and or herbal components. The effective mechanisms of TCM treatment for lymphoma are involved in inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, inhibiting angiogenesis, and regulating immune function. There is a great need to study anti-cancer herbs for lymphoma treat-ment.

Objective To explore the effect of smoking on the triglyceride ( TG ) , cholesterol ( TC ) , high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C) with the male type 2 diabetes. Methods Selected 144 male patients with type 2 diabetes, then divided them into four groups, including non-smokers, former smokers,current mild(≤20 per day) smokers and current heavy ( >20 per day) smokers. All of them were investigated about the age, diabetes pathogenesis, exercise, diet, smoking, lipid-lowering drugs used and checked with TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and so on. The difference of TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C among these four groups was compared by the methods of covariance analysis, regression analysis and partial correlation to evalu-ate the relationships of smoking with blood lipid. Results TG of heavy smokers was higher than the non-smokers and HDL-C was lower after correcting the effects of other possibly relative factors(P<0. 05). HDL-C of the former smokers was higher than smokers and TG was lower than heavy smokers(P<0. 05). Smoking was an independent risk factor for HDL-C ( P<0. 05 ,β= -0. 213 ) , and there was a significantly negative relationship between daily cigarette consumption and HDL-C ( r= -0. 223 , P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion Smoking is an important risk factor for the diabetic male patients’ metabolism of the TG and HDL-C,independent of age, body mass index, blood pres-sure,exercise,diabetes pathogenesis, percentage of body fat and blood glucose. Smoking promotes the type 2 diabet-ics’ disorder of blood lipid and smoking cessation is of significance for the diabetics’ regulation of blood lipids.

T7 cDNA phage display method was employed to find the binding protein of PreSl protein. PreSl protein was coated in a 96-well ELISA plate, and then T7 cDNA library phages were bound to the target protein. Phages which did not bind to garget protein were washed away and the binding phages were eluted. Insertions from different clones were sequenced, and the deduced amino acid sequences were analyzed by Vector 6.0 software. Using BLAST software in GenBank, whole length of amino acid sequence of binding protein was obtained. After 4 rounds of biopanning, recombinant T7 phages with binding ablity were amplifed by infection to E. coli. One piece of amino acid sequence was found to be amino terminal of product of glioma tumor suppressor candidate region gene 2 (GLTSCR2). There was a binding domain KxPxKSGxxxL in these clones. T7 cDNA phage display technique can be used bo find the ligand. GLTSCR2 coding protein may be the binding protein to preSl protein of HBV.\;

BACKGROUND: Zein has excel ent solubility, heat resistance and biodegradability, but its biocompatibility and effect on periodontal defects repair are under discussion. OBJECTIVE: To analyze biocompatibility of zein and its effect on periodontal defect repair. METHODS: Zein scaffold was prepared by solvent casting/particulate leaching. In vitro test: Human periodontal ligament cel s were co-cultured with zein scaffold for 18 days, and cel growth was observed by scanning electron microscope. In vivo test: Eight Beagle dogs were enrol ed to establish periodontal defect models, which were randomly assigned to receive zein scaffold implantation as experimental group, or interrupted suture as control group. Afterwards, the defect region was observed by scanning electron microscope at 3 months. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In vitro results: Human periodontal ligament cel s adhered wel and tightly on the scaffold with a fusiform, and could grow around pores. In vivo results: In the experimental group the scaffold dissolved completely, bone trabecular arranged regularly, and mature tissues appeared, to be integrated with the surrounding tissues; in the control group, the defect region almost healed, but there were irregular fibers and obvious lacunae. Moreover, compared with the control group, the height of new alveolar bone and bone defect, as wel as the length of junctional epithelium were significantly decreased, and new cementum was significantly increased in the experimental group (P < 0.05). To conclude, zein scaffold has good biocompatibility and can promote periodontal defect repair.

For screening the potential drugs as anti-liver fibrosis candidates, we established a high- throughput drug screening cell model based on COL1A1 promoter. The activity of COL1A1 promoter and luciferase reporter gene can be elevated by TGF-β1, and inhibited by candidate drugs. We constructed a recombined plasmid with COL1A1 promoter and luciferase reporter gene pGL4.17, the activity of COL1A1 promoter was reflected by fluorescence intensity. COL1A1 promoter activity was detected by Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System, it came that the relative luciferase activity of COL1A1 promoter was 15.98 times higher than that of control group induced by TGF-β1, showing the recombined plasmid could be used in cell model. The recombined plasmid was transfected into human hepatic stellate cells LX2, detected the effect of potential drugs, and obtained a stable expression system through stable transfection and monoclonal cell culture. A sample which could reduce COL1A1 promoter activity signally by our cell model, decreased collagen I mRNA and protein expression detected by real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting. It indicates this novel cell model can be used in high-throughput drug screening of potential anti-liver fibrosis drugs.

Objective To investigate the effects of high density lipoprotein (HDL) on thrombin-activated platelet al-pha-granulemembrane protein (CD62P) and lysosome intact membrane protein (CD63) expressions in vitro. Methods The equivalent volume of washed platelets prepared by hand was preincubated with HDL (1 g/L) in 37℃water for 15 minutes, which was then stimulated with different concentrations of thrombin (0.5 U/mL, 1 U/mL and 10 U/mL) for 10 minutes in wa-ter of 37℃. Meanwhile another three groups of washed platelets were incubated with thrombin (0.5 U/mL, 1 U/mL and 10 U/mL) for 10 minutes, respectively. The CD62P and CD63 from each sample were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM). Results The CD62P positive rates of HDL-preincubated groups were significantly lower than those of different concentrations of thrombin groups (0.5 U/mL,1 U/mL and 10 U/mL) in the absence of HDL (11.55%± 1.34% vs 18.14%± 1.50%, 17.19%± 0.17% vs 26.24%± 0.77% and 19.79%± 0.32% vs 80.38%± 5.66%,P < 0.01). Meanwhile, The CD63 positive rates of HDL-preincubated groups were also significantly lower than those of thrombin-treated (0.5 U/mL, 1 U/mL and 10 U/mL) groups without HDL, namely,2.92%±0.22%vs 8.09%±0.48%(P<0.001), 4.20%±0.98%vs 14.15%±1.39%(P<0.001) and 5.12%± 0.09% vs 24.48%± 1.71%(P < 0.01). Conclusion HDL inhibits the expression of CD62P and CD63 on throm-bin-stimulated platelets in vitro.
