BACKGROUND:Total flavonoids of hippophae have different degrees of regulation effect on the immune system. However, there is no available evidence addressing the effect of total flavonoids of hippophae on vascular dementia inflammatory factor. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of total flavonoids of hippophae on serum tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-1βlevels in a rat model of vascular dementia, and to discuss its interventional mechanism for vascular dementia. METHODS:A total of 72 Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups:sham operation, model, control, high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose of total flavonoids of hippophae groups. Except for the sham operation group, rats in the other five groups were applied to establish vascular dementia models using the improved“vascular occlusion”method. Sham operation group was only subjected to the isolation of bilateral common carotid artery, without ligation. At 1 day after modeling, rats in control group was intragastrical y given Ginkgo biloba extracts 48 mg/kg?d, while rats in total flavonoids of hippophae groups were given 200, 100, 50 mg/kg?d of total flavonoids of hippophae. Model group and sham operation group received equal volume of saline. After 30 days of administration, rats were detected in Morris water maze. Serum tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-1βlevels of rats in different groups were detected after intervention. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with sham operation group, the vascular dementia model rats had a disordered learning and memory ability, and increased levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-1β(P<0.05). After intervention of Ginkgo biloba extracts and total flavonoids of hippophae, the learning and memory abilities were improved, and serum tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-1βlevels were decreased (P<0.05). Total flavonoids of hippophae can reduce serum tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-1βlevels in vascular dementia rats. This may be the main mechanism of treating vascular dementia.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the causative agent of cold sores and other more serious diseases. HSV-1 infected-cell protein 27 (ICP27) is an immediate-early regulatory phosphoprotein homologous to gene products identified in all classes of herpesviruses so far. To raise the antiserum to ICP27 for further characterization of its biological function, the ICP27 gene was cloned into the pET-28a (+) vector, then ICP27 protein was expressed in E. Coli and purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni2+-NTA) affinity resin column,finally the purified protein was used to raise antiserum. Western blot analysis demonstrated that the antiserum recognized the recombinant protein, and the antiserum was able to probe the ICP27 in HSV-1 infected cells with high specificity by immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Therefore, the specific antiserum will provide a valuable tool for further studies investigating ICP27's biological function during HSV-1 infection.

AIM: To study the effects of nuclear factor-kappa B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides on generation of nitric oxide and activated oxygen in lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse macrophages.METHODS: Mouse macrophage cell lines J774.1 cells were cultured with lipopolysaccharide and liposome-mediated oligodeoxynucleotides, and the level of nitric oxide, activated oxygen and inducible nitric oxide synthase were measured. RESULTS: Nuclear factor-kappa B “decoy”oligodeoxynucleotides decreased the activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase in lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage, inhibited generation of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species. The level of nitric oxide, activated oxygen and inducible nitric oxide synthase did not change in control group.CONCLUSION: Nuclear factor-kappa B “decoy”oligodeoxynucleotides decrease the generation of nitric oxide and activated oxygen in lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophages, which is probably due to inhibiting the binding sites of activated nuclear factor-kappa B specially.

AIM: To study the effect of NF-?B "decoy" oligodeoxynucleotides on TNF-? and IL-6 expression in LPS-induced mouse macrophages. METHODS: Mouse macrophage cell line J774.1 cells were cultured with LPS and liposome-mediated oligodeoxynucleotides, and the levels of TNF-? and IL-6 measured in the different culture supernatant by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RNA was extracted from macrophages, and the mRNA expression of TNF-? and IL-6 in macrophages was observed by RT-PCR. RESULTS: NF-?B "decoy" oligodeoxynucleotides decreased the expression of TNF-? and IL-6 in LPS-induced macrophages and inhibited generation of TNF-? and IL-6. The level of TNF-? and IL-6 did not change in control group. CONCLUSIONS: NF-?B "decoy" oligodeoxynucleotides inhibit the expression of TNF-? and IL-6 in LPS-induced macrophages, which is probably due to the specific inhibition of activated NF-?B binding sites .

Abstract Recent years have witnessed more attention paid to the health effects of the natural radionuclide 226Ra, and a series of research carried out on the detection methods of 226Ra at home and abroad. The common 226Ra detection methods are emanation scintillation, gamma spectrometry, liquid scintillation counting, alpha spectrometry and alpha counting. Emanation scintillation is mature enough as a classical method, while gamma spectrometry and liquid scintillation counting proceed fast. Due to the radiation of 226Ra, these detection methods still have the problems such as the requirement for large samples, long detection periods, complicated steps, high detection limits and low recovery rates. This paper reviews the five methods above and summarize their advantages and disadvantages, so as to provide the reference for selecting and optimizing the detection methods for different samples as well as perfecting the standard method in China.

Objective To investigate the safety,feasibility and effectivity of laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy for left hepatolithiasis.Methods From Jan.2005 to Dec.2013,36 patients with left hepatolithiasis underwent laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy (group LH),in comparison with 39 other patients who underwent conventional open left hemihepatectomy (group OH).The blood supply to left liver was dissected and cut off first.The liver parenchyma was transected and the left hepatic vein was dissected and clamped.Intraoperative choledochoscopy was carried out through the stump of left bile duct,laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and T-tube drainage were carried out when stones were found in the common or right bile duct.Blood loss,rate of residual stone,complication rate between the two groups were compared.Results The success rate of operation was 100％.Compared with group OH,group LH had shorter postoperative hospitalization,less incision infection and fewer analgesia needed(t =3.75,x2 =4.11,x2 =22.12,P ＜0.05).There was no statistical difference for blood loss,rate of transfusion,and postoperative complications such as bile leakage,pleural effusion,ascites,residual stones (t =0.66,x2 =0.70,x2 =0.01,x2 =0.52,x2 =0.01,x2 =0.28,x2 =0.01,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy is safe,feasible,and effective for hepatolithiasis of the left liver lobe.

Objective: To search for the optimizing parameters and distribution pattern of NF ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides in transfecting J774.1 cells mediated by lipofectin. Methods: With the change of ODNs/lipofectin ratio and transfection time, the uptake rate and mean fluorescence intensity of NF ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides in J774.1 cells were measured by flow cytometry to evaluate transfection efficiencies. Intracellular distribution of NF ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides was determined with fluorescence microscopy. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the supernatant was assayed to assess the cytotoxicity. Results: The uptake of NF ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides into J774.1 cells was significantly improved by lipofectin. In 24 well culture plate, 1 ?g ODNs with 5?g lipofectin ( W/W =1∶5) resulted in the highest transfection efficiency and lower cytotoxicity. The NF ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides localized in the nucleus as well as in the cytoplasm following an incubation of 6 h with lipofectin. While NF ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides had faint fluorescences in cytoplasm in the absence of lipofectin. Conclusion: lipofectin can enhance the cellular uptake of NF ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides in J774.1 cells and alter intracellular distribution of NF ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides. Efficiency of transfection is the highest when the ratio of ODNs/lipofectin is 1∶5 for incubation of 6 h.

Objective:To study the effiacious based on our experience of precise anatomical hemi-hepatectomy strictly guided by the middle hepatic vein (MHV) for regional to treat intrahepatic hepatolithiasis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 47 patients with regional hepatolithiasis treated with hemihepatectomy from July 2015 to July 2019 at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, The University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital. The study included 15 males and 32 females, aged (42±15) years. The exposure and preservation of the MHV was included in the precision surgery group ( n=26), and failure to fully expose the MHV or damage to the MHV was included in the control group ( n=21). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and other surgical data and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation. There was no patient who developed liver failure, and no patient died 90 days after the operations. The operation time (5.2±1.8) h and intraoperative blood loss (620.5±450.8) ml of the precision surgery group were not significantly different from those of the control group (4.9±2.3) h and intraoperative blood loss (760.5±540.2) ml ( P>0.05). A total of 19 patients (40.4%) (7 in the precision surgery group and 12 in the control group) developed 36 post operative complications of various types. The postoperative complication rate in the control group was higher than that in the precision surgery group [47.6%(10/21) vs 19.2% (5/26)], the difference was significant ( P<0.05). All 47 patients were followed-up for 6 to 30 months. For postoperative long-term complications: 5 patients in the control group had residual stones, biliary tract infection, liver abscess, and biliary-enteric anastomosis stenosis with recurrence of stones, and only 2 patients in the precision surgery group were found to have residual stones and biliary-enteric anastomotic stenosis. Stone recurrence, (the incidence of long-term complication) in the control group was significantly higher than that in the precision surgery group [23.8% (5/21) vs 7.7% (2/26)], ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Precise anatomical hemi-hepatectomy strictly guided by MHV for regional hepatolithiasis could more fully remove stones and lesions, and reduced the rate of stone recurrence. It was safe and feasible with favorable efficacy.
