Objective To evaluate the effect of pronase on amoxicillin and metronidazole concentrations in gastric tissue. Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into experimental group ( n = 70 ) and control group ( n = 70 ) . Amoxicillin ( 28. 6 mg/kg ) , metronidazole ( 22. 5 mg/kg) and omeprazole (138.2 mg/kg) were administered orally to C57BL/6 mice, combined with pronase (110 mg/kg) or same amount of sterile PBS. Gastric tissue and blood plasma samples were taken at 10 point-in time (7 mice/time) from 15 min up to 360 min after administration. Concentrations of amoxicillin and metronidazole were detected by high performance liquid chromatography. Gastritis index of gastric mucosa ( hematoxylin-eosin staining) and the gastric tissue expressions of mucin 5 AC (Western blot) were detected at 120 min and 360 min after administration. Results The time to peak concentration of amoxicillin and metronidazole in gastric tissue appeared earlier than that in blood plasma (15 min vs 60 min). Tissue concentrations of amoxicillin and metronidazole of experimental group were significantly higher than those of control, and they were mainly at 15 min to 90 min (P <0. 05). Plasma concentrations of amoxicillin and metronidazole of experimental group at 15 min and 30 min were higher than those of control ( P < 0. 05 ). There was no difference in gastritis index between experimental group and control at 120 min and 360 min after administration (0.28±0. 18 vs 0. 14 ±0. 14,P>0.05; 0. 43 ±0. 20 vs 0. 28 ±0. 18,P >0. 05). The expressions of mucin 5 AC in experimental group were lower than those of control ( 0. 036 ± 0. 006 vs 0. 197 ± 0. 058; P <0. 05; 0. 039 ± 0. 008 vs 0. 208 ± 0. 072, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions Pronase can significantly enhance the drugs penetration from mucus into gastric tissue. Concentrations of amoxicillin and metronidazole of experimental group in local gastric tissue and plasma are higher than those of control, especially in improving concentrations of gastric tissue and prolongation of exposed time.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of ribosomal protein L34 (RPL34) gene knockdown on the proliferation and apoptosis of human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) cells.Methods:From January 2016 to January 2017, 14 paraffin-embedded skin samples of cSCC and 16 paraffin-embedded normal skin tissue samples were collected from Department of Dermatology and Venereology, the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, and RPL34 expression in the skin tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemical study. A lentivirus vector containing short hairpin RNA targeting RPL34 gene was constructed and used to transfect a human cSCC cell line SCL-1 (shRNA group) , SCL-1 cells transfected with an empty lentivirus vector served as control group, and the knockdown efficiency was verified by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot analysis. At 72 hours after the transfection, flow cytometry was performed to analyze the cell cycle and detect apoptosis of SCL-1 cells, and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay to evaluate the cellular proliferative activity of SCL-1 cells. Comparisons between 2 groups were performed by using t test or rank sum test. Results:Immunohistochemical study showed that the cytoplasmic expression score of RPL34 was significantly higher in the cSCC tissues (2.143±1.956) than in the normal control tissues (0.500±0.516, z=3.53, P< 0.05) . RT-PCR showed that the relative mRNA expression of RPL34 in the SCL-1 cells was significantly lower in the shRNA group (0.149±0.016) than in the control group (1±0.018, t=36.95, P< 0.05) ; Western blot analysis revealed that the relative protein expression of RPL34 in the SCL-1 cells was significantly lower in the shRNA group than in the control group. Compared with the control group, the shRNA group showed a significantly increased proportion of S-phase cells ( t=13.76, P< 0.05) , but a significantly decreased proportion of G1-phase cells ( t=36.62, P< 0.05) ; the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the shRNA group (9.42%±0.16%) than in the control group (4.58%±0.41%, t=19.02, P< 0.05) . MTT assay showed that the cell viability was significantly decreased in the shRNA group (0.815±0.005) than in the control group (1.886±0.005, t=265.91, P< 0.05) after additional 120-hour culture. Conclusion:The RPL34 gene was overexpressed in the cSCC tissues, and knockdown of the RPL34 gene in SCL-1 cells could interfere with cell cycle, decrease their proliferative activity, and promote their apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the genetic correlation of interleukin-12 (IL-12) pathway-related gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with psoriasis vulgaris and their interaction with HLA-Cw*0602 in populations of Mongolian and Han nationalities in Inner Mongolia.Methods:From December 2012 to March 2018, 1 409 inpatients with psoriasis vulgaris (1 030 of Han nationality and 379 of Mongo-lian nationality) and 1 483 healthy controls (965 of Han nationality and 518 of Mongolian nationality) were collected from the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, and served as patient group and control group respectively. Five milliliters of peripheral venous blood samples were collected from these subjects, and DNA was extracted. Nine SNPs located in the coding regions of IL-12 pathway-related genes were selected, including IL-12B (rs2082412, rs2288831, rs3212227, rs3213094, rs7709212) , IL-23R (rs11209026, rs2201841, rs7530511) and IL-28RA (rs4649203) genes, and detected by next-generation sequencing. HLA-Cw*0602 was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) . Statistical analysis was carried out with PLINK1.07 software, Chi-square test was used to compare allele frequencies between the 2 groups, relative risk estimates of alleles were calculated by using odds ratio ( OR) , and chi-square test for R × C contingency tables was used for haplotype analysis. Results:The allele frequencies of rs2082412, rs2288831, rs3212227, rs3213094 and rs7709212 in the IL-12B gene were significantly lower in the patients with psoriasis vulgaris of Han nationality than in the controls of Han nationality (all P < 0.005) ; the allele frequency of rs3213094 in the IL-12B gene was significantly lower in the patients of Mongolian nationality than in the controls of Mongolian nationality ( P < 0.005) . The prevalence of HLA-Cw*0602 was significantly lower in the patients with psoriasis vulgaris of Han and Mongolian nationalities than in the controls of corresponding nationalities (both P < 0.005) . As stratification analysis showed, the allele frequencies of rs2082412, rs2288831, rs3212227, rs3213094 and rs7709212 in the IL-12B gene were significantly lower in HLA-Cw*0602-positive patients of Han nationality than in HLA-Cw*0602-positive controls of Han nationality (all P < 0.005) , while there was no significant difference between HLA-Cw*0602-negative patients of Han nationality and HLA-Cw*0602-negative controls of Han nationality (all P > 0.05) . Among the HLA-Cw*0602-positive or negative populations of Mongolian nationality, no significant difference was observed in the allele frequencies between the patients and controls (all P > 0.005) . Haplotypes were constructed using 5 SNPs in the IL-12B gene, and there was no significant difference in the frequencies of 6 haplotypes between the patients and controls of Mongolian or Han nationality (all P > 0.005) ; stratification analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the frequencies of 7 haplotypes between HLA-Cw*0602-positive/negative patients and controls of Mongolian or Han nationality (all P > 0.005) . Conclusion:IL-12 pathway-related gene polymorphisms are associated with psoriasis vulgaris in the populations of Mongolian and Han nationalities in Inner Mongolia, and there may be interaction between IL-12B and HLA-Cw*0602 in the occurrence of psoriasis vulgaris.

Objective To investigate the effects of co-exposure to LPS and heat on plasma tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in rats. Methods Eighty male pathogen-free Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: saline-injected normothermic control (group C), saline-injected heat exposed (group H), LPS-injected normothermic control (group L), LPS-injected heat exposed (group HL). Rectal temperature (Tr), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and respiratory rate (RR) were continually monitored. Plasma levels of TNF-? and IL-6 were determined at 0, 40, 80, 120 min after treatment. Results The rats in group HL displayed significantly higher values of Tr , HR , and RR and lower values of MAP than that of group C at 120 min. There was a significant difference in the values of HR and MAP between group HL and the other 3 groups at the same time point. The rats in group HL displayed an early rise in levels of plasma TNF-?, IL-6 at 40 min. The significant elevation of the peak TNF-? level at 80 min in group HL was observed. Plasma IL-6 hyperexpression was shown in rats in group HL which was significantly higher than the other 3 groups at the same time point. Conclusion Co-exposure to LPS and heat induces the rat to develop and augment systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
