Objective　To investigate the effect of positive pressure ventilation on radiosensitivity of the patients suffering from primary lung cancer. Methods　Thirty cases of lung cancer were randomly divided into two groups: ① combining therapy group: patients treated with posi tive pressure ventilation using BiPAP respirator and radiotherapy;② simple radi otherapy group. The changes of PaO2, SaO2, blood white cells and the cellula r immunological function were observed before and after treatment. Resul ts　Nasal or naso-facial positive pressure ventilation with BiPAP respi rator increased PaO2 significantly with the maximum of 7.5 kPa, SaO2 was ma inteined at above 95%. No significant change for the cellular immunological func tion was found in the combining therapy group （P>0.05）and only one patient with leukopenia（6.7%）. But in the radiotherapy group, the lymphocyte transfor mation efficiency and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were obviously decreased（P<0 .01), and leukopenia was found in 5 cases（33.3%）. Conclusion　 Nasal or naso-facial positive pressure ventilation with BiPAP respirator could improve the effect of radiotherapy for lung cancers. It could also increase PaO 2 significantly and has protective rote to the marrow and cellular immunologic al function of the patients.

BACKGROUND: The transplantation of microencapsulated cell is becoming a hotspot modality in the therapy of Parkinson disease (PD). The application of Alginate-polysysine-alginate (APA) is currently limited due to fragility and pericystic fibrosis although it has been used in clinic. In this study, the native Alginate-chitosan-alginate(ACA)microencapsulated pheochromocytoma cells (PC12 cells) are transplanted into the region of corpus striatum in the injured side of the brain of the PD rat model, the functional recovery of rotational behavior and pathological changes are also observed in the control, sham and treated groups.OBJECTIVE: To observe whether the transplantation of ACA microencapsulated PC12 cells into the brain can improve the rotational behavior in the rat model of PD.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: Dalian Research Institute of Physiochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.MATERIALS: Totally 40 adult male Wistar rats with body mass of(220±10) g, ACA microcapsule and PC12 cells were used in this study.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the animal experimental laboratory of Second Hospital, Jilin University and Dalian Research Institute of Physicochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences between May and December 2002. Native ACA were used to microencapsulate the PC12cells. These rats were randomly divided into the following three groups,treated group (10 rats received microencapsulated PC12 cell transplantation), control group (7 rats received unencapsulated PC12 cell transplantation) and sham group (6 rats received empty microencapsule transplantation). The transplantation site was the region of corpus striatum in the injured side of brain. The difference of rotational behavior included by apomorphine was compared before and after the transplantation in these rats,the morphological changes of the transplanted microcapsules and activity of the microencapsulated cells were also detected.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Rotational behavior of the rats before and after transplantation. ②Pathological change in the regions of substantia nigra and corpus striatum. ③ The integrality of retrieved microencapsule and the bioactivity of retrieved PC12 cells.RESULTS: ① At the 4th week of transplantation, rotational behavior was significantly decreased in the encapsulated PC12 cells treated group compared with that of the groups received empty microencapsules transplantation [(6.9±2.8),(10.5±1.6) r/min, P ＜ 0.05].Tbis behavioral improvement could last at least three months. Although the unencapsulated PC12 cells also can improve the rotational behavior compared with before transplantation[(5.6±l.1 ), (9.5±1.5) r/min, P ＜ 0.05], which only lasted two months and fetal tumor formed in the skull of some rats. There was no significant difference in rotational behavior of the rats before and after transplantation in the empty microencapsule transplantation group. PC12 cells of retrieved microencapsulate grew well after re-culture, and have bioactivity.CONCLUSION: Transplantation of ACA microencapsulated PC12 cells into the brain can improve can improve the rotational behavior of rat PD model induced by apomorphine. ACA microcapsule can both isolate the host's immune system effectively and prevent the formation of tumor, and have a promising application in clinic.

Objective:To detect and verifica the gene profile difference of microRNA-146a (miR-146a) and its role in the pro-liferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) by gene chip technology. Methods: Artificially synthesized miR-146a mimics(50 nmol/L) ,miR-146 inhibitor ( 50 nmol/L ) , scramble ( 50 nmol/L ) and PBS were transfected into cultured primary rat VSMCs in vitro. After transfection,Real time PCR was used to measure the levels of miR-146a and the cell counting kit 8(CCK8) was employed to investigate the proliferation of VSMCs. The VSMCs interfered by miR-146a inhibitor or miR-146a control were examined by gene chips and the profile of gene were analyzed by bioinformatics technology to detect the different genes and signal transduction pathway. The changes in mRNAs and proteins were accessed separately by Real time PCR and Western blot. Results: Compared with sham and control VSMCs,miR-146a expression level was significantly decreased in treatment with miR-146a inhibitor(P<0. 01),as well as optical density(OD) was also shown remarkably down regulated simultaneously(P<0. 05). The investigation of gene profile revealed that the p53 signal pathway was up-regulated in VSMCs interfered by miR-146a. The mRNA and protein expression levels of p53, caspase3 and PTEN in p53 signal transduction pathway didn′t show significant differences(P>0. 05),however,the mRNA and protein expression levels of cyclin D1 significantly increased in treatment with miR-146a mimics VSMCs group and decreased in miR-146a inhibitor VSMCs group ( compared with sham VSMCs group, both P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion: Our data indicated that miR-146a may promote the proliferation of rat VSMCs by up-regulating cyclin D1 expression.
