Wistar rats pretreated with BCG, dexamethasone or carbon particles respectively were inoculated with P. yoelii sporozoites via caudal vein. 42 hours after inoculation, the animals were killed to examine the effects of these 3 agents on the invasion of sporozoites and the development of exoerythrocytic forms (EEF) .It was found that in the carbon group about 30% of the kupffer cells contained the particles, and the density of EEF apparently decreased as compared with that of the control. In the BCG group, a dosage of 6 ? 107 units also caused a marked decrease of EEF density, an,d the parasites were smaller with a higher rate of degenerated forms as compared with those of the control, In the dexamethasone group, however, the EEF density increased markedly up to the level 1.5-2 times higher than that of the control. In addition the EEF were larger and more numerous with vacuoles and some lobulated. The mechanism of these facts were discussed.

Objective To investigate the effects of rapamycin on the number and function of peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Methods Total mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated from peripheral blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation, and then the cells were plated on fibronectin-coated culture dishes. After 7-day culture, adherent cells were treated with rapamycin in a series of final concentrations of 1.0, 2.0, 5.0?g/ml for 6, 12, 24, and 48h. EPCs were identified as adherent cells double positive for DiLDL-uptake and lectin binding by direct fluorescent staining as demonstrated under a laser scanning confocal microscope. EPCs were further documented by demonstrating the expression of VEGFR-2, AC133 and CD34 with flow cytometry. EPCs proliferation and migration were assayed with MTT assay and modified Boyden chamber assay, respectively. EPCs adhesion assay was performed by replating them on fibronectin-coated dishes, and then adherent cells were counted. In vitro vasculogenesis activity was assayed by in vitro vasculogenesis kit. Results Incubation of isolated human MNCs with rapamycin resulted in a decrease in the number of EPCs, and rapamycin also decreased EPCs proliferative, migratory, adhesive and in vitro vasculogenesis capacity in both concentration and time dependent manners. Conclusion Rapamycin decreases the number, proliferative, migratory, adhesive and in vitro vasculogenesis capacity of EPCs.

P. yoelii sporozoites(Sp) in Anopheles stephensi were first isolated with low-speed centrifugation and the Sp suspension was subsequantly purified with the density gradient centrifugation. The recovery rates of Sp by the latter method is about 50-75% of that by the former, but few debris could be found in the Sp suspension and the infectivity of the Sp was not weakened as compared with the Sp obtained by low-speed method. Sp would retain partial infectivity, when its suspension was maintained ia medium 199 at 4℃ for 48 hrs. When rats and mice were infected with these Sp, patho-logical changes of hepatocytes such as cloudy swelling or fatty degeneration, which had been evidenced to be induced by mosquito tissues, would be absent or present in th& slightest degree.
