Aim To investigate effects of indole-3-carbinol (I3C) on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activated by acetaldehyde in precision-cut liver slices (PCLS). Methods PCLS were incubated with 700 ?mol?L-1 acetaldehyde and 200 ~ 800 ?mol?L-1 I3C for 6 h. The expression of ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA) in liver slices was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The leakages of glutathione S-transferase (GST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and content of transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) in media were assayed. Contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydroxyproline (Hyp) in tissue were also determined. Expressions of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) in media were analyzed by the western blot. Results The increase of activated HSCs due to acetaldehyde was inhibited by I3C (200~800 ?mol?L-1). Meanwhile, I3C treatment (200~800 ?mol?L-1) showed significant and concentration-dependent antagonistic actions on the increment of GST, LDH leakages into the media and MDA, Hyp contents in tissues induced by acetaldehyde. The increase of TGF-?1 was also remarkable inversed by I3C (200~800 ?mol?L-1). As compared with acetaldehyde group, the ratio of MMP-1/TIMP-1 was increased significantly by I3C treatment (800 ?mol?L-1)(P

Objective To apply the hydrocolloid dressings and hydrocolloid dressings combined GreenCream Dressing for central venous catheterization fixing, and to explore the effect of hydrocolloid dressings combined GreenCream Dressing in the prevention of venous catheter bacterial colonization and bacterial infection. Methods 470 patients who underwent the Inferior vena cava catheter were divided into 230 patients in the control group and 240 patients in the experimental group. The control group was fixed with hydrocolloid dressings after central venous catheter, and the experimental group was fixed with hydrocolloid dressings combined GreenCream Dressing after central vein catheter. The measurements included catheter bacterial colonization, catheter-related infections (CRIs) and catheter related blood stream infections (CR-BSIs), pathogenic bacteria colonization of the skin. At the same time, the skin safety was also confirmed. Results In the control group, 230 cases were retained for 1 419 catheter-days, and 240 cases in the experimental group were retained for 1 675 catheter-days. Compared with hydrocolloid dressings, hydrocolloid dressing combined GreenCream Dressing could reduce the incidence of CRIs from 1.8‰(3/1 675) to 0.7‰(1/1 675), and CR-BSIs from 2.4‰(4/1 675) to 0.7‰(1/1 675) respectively, with the statistically significant (χ2=6.39, 95%CI 1.30-31.41, andχ2=6.21, 95%CI 1.56-40.82;P<0.05). The results of bacterial colonization, CRIs and CR-BSIs showed that the most common bacteria were Staphylococcus and fungi. At the same time, compared with the hydrocolloid dressing, hydrocolloid dressing combined GreenCream dressing could reduce the incidence of skin pathogenic bacteria colonization, from 41.74%(96/230) to 28.33%(68/230),with the statistically significant (χ2=9.29,P=0.00);There was no difference between the two groups in the field of the incidence of abnormal skin manifestation (χ2=1.23, P=0.30), showing a good safety. Conclusions Hydrocolloid dressing combined GreenCream Dressing would be more effective to prevent bacterial colonization and bacterial infection of central venous catheter in department of neurosurgery.

Objective:To investigate the effect of DNA vaccine expressed Helicobacter pylori(Hp) oipA on protecting against Hp infection.Methods:The ORFs of Hp oipA had been inserted into the eukaryotic expressing vector pVAX1 and SGC-7901 cells had been transfected with recombinant plasmid pVAX1-oipA. The expression of oipA had been detected by RT-PCR and ELISA. After extracted and purified, pVAX1-oipA had been injected into BALB/c mice through muscles of right leg one time each week for three weeks(100 ?g each mouse). pVAX1 blank and normal saline had been used as the control groups. Titer of antibodies had been detected by ELISA two months after the last immunization. Based on the confirmation of immunological response in the pVAX1 groups, mice had been given orogastric challenged with live Hp Sydney strain three times(0.5?108/0.5 ml each mouse). Four weeks after challenge, mice had been sacrificed. Histological change and the colonization of Hp in the gastric mucosa had been detected by urease test, the culture of Hp, and electronic microscopy.Results:SGC-7901 cells transfected with pVAX1-oipA had expressed corresponding production at the level of transcription and translation. Immunized mice had been induced anti-oipA antibodies. After challenged with bacterium, as contrast to immunized mice groups injected with pVAX1-oipA, pVAX1 blank, normal saline, the positive rate of urease test of gastric mucosa was 0(0/10), 90%(9/10), 100%(5/5)respectively,the positive rate of cultures of Hp was 20%(2/10), 90%(9/10), 100%(5/5)respectively. Histological findings: the different degree of erosion had been observed in control group, but 80%(8/10)of gastric mucosa were normal in immunized mice.Conclusion:oipA DNA could induce effective immune response in protection against Hp infection.
