Objective To explore the effects of estrogen on oxidative stress of the lung tissue induced by acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning. Methods Thirty-two male adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into model group and estrogen intervention group, 16 rabbits in each group. The model of lung injury induced by PQ poisoning was reproduced by feeding 16 mg/kg of 20% PQ through gastric tube. The rabbits in estrogen intervention group received intravenous infusion of 5 mg/kg estrogen after PQ challenge for 7 days, and the rabbits in model group received an equal volume of normal saline. Three rabbits in each group were sacrificed at 1, 2 and 3 days respectively after exposure. The lung tissue was harvested, the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA), malondialdehyde (MDA) was determined by thiobarbituric acid (TBA), the mRNA expression of manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and adenosine triphosphatase (ATP) content in mitochondrion was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The pathological changes in lung were observed under light microscopy using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and the lung injury was evaluated with lung injury score. Results The contents of ROS and MDA in lung within 3 days after PQ poisoning were gradually increased, and MnSOD mRNA expression and ATP content were gradually decreased. Estrogen intervention could significantly reduce the production of ROS and MDA after PQ poisoning [3-day ROS (fluorescence intensity): 161.05±30.04 vs. 188.30±31.80, 3-day MDA (mmol/L): 98.71±0.92 vs. 122.12±1.24], up-regulate MnSOD mRNA expression (integral A value: 3.05±0.90 vs. 1.22±0.24), and increase ATP content in mitochondrion (ng/L: 3.75±0.92 vs. 2.28±0.29) with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.01). In lung tissue after PQ poisoning, congestion, edema, focal pulmonary consolidation, pulmonary interstitial and alveolar space were infiltrated by a large number of neutrophil, alveolar interval were thickened obviously and the above phenomenon were most serious at 3 days after poisoning as shown under optical microscope. Estrogen intervention could significantly improve lung injury as compared with that of model group, and the lung injury score at 3 days was significantly lower than that of model group (11.8±0.7 vs. 13.5±1.0, P < 0.01). Conclusions The oxidative stress indicators in the lung tissue after PQ poisoning were obviously abnormal, the pathological damage was serious with time dependence. The administration of estrogen can reduce acute lung injury after PQ poisoning by reducing the oxidative stress.

Aim To establish an allogenetic mouse skin trans-plant model,in order to provide a research model for immunosup-pressive drugs. Methods Skins from the ears of C57BL/6 mice were transplanted to the back of BALB/c mice and skin isografts ( BALB/c mice to BALB/c mice) were used as control. Cyclos-porin A( CsA) was used as a model compound to test the imm-nosuppresive effect on allogenetic graft rejection. Following the transplation and CsA treatment, the graft rejection score and graft skin survival rate were quantified. Four and nine days after transplantation,serum IL-4,IL-12 and IFN-γ levels were meas-ured using ELISA kits. Twelve days after transplantation, mice were sacrificed. The weight of spleen and thymus was obtained, and CD4 + and CD8 + population of spleenic T cells were ana-lyzed using flow cytometer. Histological features were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin( HE) staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-em-bedded graft skins. Results After transplantion, the graft rejec-tion score increased and graft skin survival rate decreased gradu-allly. Serum IL-12 and IFN-γ levels of allograft mice increased markedly. Compared with those of isograft mice, mice with skin allograft displayed a significant increase in the percentage of the CD8 + T cell subpopulation. Remarkable inflammation, such as edema, inflammatory cell infiltration were observed in allograft mice. Compared with saline treated mice, CsA significantly re-duced the graft rejection score and improved survival rate of skin grafts. And also, CsA treated mice had smaller spleen and thy-mus. Mice that received high doses of CsA had significantly less CD8 + T cells than those treated with saline. Moreover, allograft skins in mice that received CsA had less inflammation. Conclu-sions Allogenetic mouse skin transplantation exhibits acute graft rejection. CsA can inhibit the rejection in a dose dependent manner.

Objective To explore the value of static and dynamic MRI before and after operation of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods 29 patients with POP (POP group)and 12 normal women (control group)underwent static and dynamic MRI.The morphologic changes of pelvic floor were observed on MR images.The measurements of bladder,uterus,Douglas pouch to pubococcygeal line (B-PCL,U-PCL,D-PCL),the puborectal hiatus line (H-line),muscular pelvic floor descent (M-line),the levator hiatus size (LHS),the levator plate angle (LPA),the iliococcygeus angle (ICA)and the urethral inclination angle (UA)were recorded on dynamic MR images.Results 19 cystoceles,28 uterine prolapses,4 rectoceles and 14 hernias of Douglas pouch were detected with MRI.29 cases of pelvic floor relaxation,27 cases of levator ani muscle defect and 24 cases of pubocervical fascial defect were found.The values of B-PCL,U-PCL, D-PCL,H-line,M-line,LHS,LPA,ICA and UA of POP group were larger than control group (P<0.01).The positions of pelvic organ returned to normal in 9 cases of 21 postoperative cases,while 12 cases remained prolapses.There was no displacement of mesh in 8 cases of mesh implant.The values of B-PCL,U-PCL,D-PCL,UA after operation were smaller than those before operation (P<0.05).Conclusion Static and dynamic MRI can evaluate morphological and functional changes of pelvic floor before and after operation of POP comprehensively,and may reveal those invisible pelvic floor dysfunction and postoperative remnant defects.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Puerarin polymeric micelles and establish a method to determine its entrapment efficiency. METHODS:Puerarin polymeric micelles were prepared by film dispersion method. The polymeric micelles and free drug were sepa-rated by centrifugal-millipore filter filtration method. The entrapment efficiency of puerarin polymeric micelles was determined by HPLC. Diamonsil C18(2)column was used with 1% citric acid solution-methanol(65∶35)at the flow rate of 1 ml/min. The detec-tion wavelength was set at 250 nm,and column temperature was room temperature. RESULTS:The prepared polymeric micelles were spherical and spherical-like in shape with a mean particle size of 54.12 nm,polydispersity index of 0.122,Zeta potential of -13.60 mV;the linear range of puerarin was 2-10μg/ml(R2=0.999 4)with average recovery rate of 99.2%(RSD=0.9%,n=3). The re-covery rate of free drug was 95.3%(RSD=1.7%,n=3). The mean entrapment efficiency and drug-loading amount of puerarin were(35.5±2.12)% and(0.3±0.07)%,respectively(n=3). CONCLUSIONS:Film dispersion method is suitable for the prepara-tion of Puerarin polymeric micelles. Established method is convenient,accurate and reliable for the content and entrapment efficien-cy determination of Puerarin polymeric micelles.

Objective To investigate the correlation between XRCC1 R280H,XRCCl TSS+29C/T genetic polymorphisma and susceptibility to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods The MassARRAY method was applied to detect the DNA repair gene XRCC1 genetic polymorphisms in 73 cases of NHL and 540 cases of normal healthy controls. Chi-square test was performed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results For XRCCl R280H genotypes, there was a significant difference between frequencies of the G and A among patients and controls (P=0.001). However, XRCCl TSS+29C/T genotypes had no statistical difference as for the T and C frequencies between patients and controls (P = 0.383). The frequency of XRCCI R280H with at least one A genotype was lower in the NHL cases than in controls, indicating a decreased risk for NHL development (OR=0.309, 95 % CI =0.168-0.567), comparing with GG genotype. In XRCC1 TSS+29C/T genotypes, the frequeney of TC and CC genotype was higher in NHL cases than in controls and associated with an increased risk of NHL development (P=0.472, OR =1.262, 95 % CI =0.669-2.379). Conclusion DNA repair XRCCl gene possesses significant correlation with NHL.

Intestinal microflora is an important part of the organ-ism, promoting digestion and absorption of nutrients, maintaining intestinal normal physiological function, regulating immune sys-tem. Intestinal microflora maintains steady state under normal conditions, but intestinal microbiota dysbiosis occurs when surrounding environment c hanges, such as age, diet, obesity and other metabolic diseases as well as antibiotics. Many recent studies have found intestinal flora could cause a variety of disea-ses, and colon cancer is closely related with intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. Some researches suggest improving the intestinal flora dysbiosis can reduce the incidence of colon cancer and inhibit the growth and the worsening of colon cancer. However, under-lying mechanisms remain unknown. So this article summarizes the research progress on the development of colon cancer and in-testinal microbiota dysbiosis, in order to provide reference for re-search on intestinal flora and colon cancer treatment.
