The adhesion of leukocytes to vascular endothelium is crucial for the generation of inflammatory responses. The selectins and ?2-integrin (Mac-1) play a major role in the process. Recently, it was reported that RO-heparin can inhibit selectin-mediated leukocyte adhesion. The effect of RO-heparin on the Mac-1-mediated neutrophils adhesion were further tested. The results showed that RO-heparin could effectively inhibit neutrophils binding to ICAM-1, adhering to COS-7 cells expressing human ICAM-1, and adhering to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under static and flow conditions. The findings suggest that the effect of RO-heparin on leukocyte adhesion is mainly due to its inhibition on the interaction between selectins or Mac-1 and their ligands and that RO-heparin might be useful in preventing inflammation diseases.

Objective To discuss and analyze the serum epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B among people in Jinan in order to formulate applicable community nursing measures to control hepatitis B. Methods The serum marker of hepatitis B was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 26756 serum samples by strict operation according to the kit introduction. The data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results The positive rate of HBsAg was 7.39%, among which the positive rate of male was 8.81% and female 5.54%, which was lower than that of the male (P<0.01). The positive rate of people lower than 20 years old was lower than those of above 20 years old. The positive rate of male from 21 to 30 years old was lower than those from 41 to 50 years old (P<0.05). No difference was seen between people with different professionals. Conclusions Vaccine inoculation of hepatitis B for susceptible population combined with community health education about hepatitis B related knowledge and comprehensive nursing intervention proved to be the pivotal measures for the control and prevention of hepatitis B.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of dasatinib,tyrosine kinase inhibitor,inhibiting androgen receptor (AR) phosphorylation in prostate cancer cells.Methods HEK-293T and COS7 cell lines were cotransfected by wild-type (WT)-AR,ARY267F or ARY534F with Ack1 or Src,respectively,and Western blot was used to detect the AR phosphorylation sites.LNCaP cells were treated by EGF or heregulin without androgen,then Western blot was used to detect AR phosphorylation.After these LNCaP cells were treated by dasatinib or transfection with siRNA to silence Ack1 or Src gene,Western blot was used to observe the effect on AR phosphorylation,and quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain (RT-PCR)was applied to detect PSA mRNA and hk2 mRNA.Results After transfection,Ack1 kinase mediated the phosphorylation of AR Tyr267 in HEK-293T cells,and Src mediated AR Tyr534 phosphorylation in COS7cells.When LNCaP cells were treated by heregulin,AR Tyr267 was phosphorylated,but its phosphorylation was inhibited after these cells were treated by dasatinib or ack1 gene was silenced.When LNCaP cells were treated by EGF,AR Tyr534 was phosphorylated,but its phosphorylation was inhibited after these cells were treated by dasatinib or Src gene was silenced.EGF or heregulin raised endogenous AR target gene,PSA and hK2,mRNA levels in LNCaP cells (P < 0.05).However,after these cells were treated by dasatinib,PSA and hK2 mRNA levels induced by heregulin were decreased (P < 0.05),but those induced by EGF PSA were no significant changes (P > 0.05).Conclusion Dasatinib can inhibit AR Tyr267 and AR Tyr 534phosphorylation,and it may play a significant role in anti-prostate cancer cells by inhibiting Ack1-mediated AR Tyr-267 phosphorylation and the expression of PSA mRNA and hk2 mRNA induced by heregulin.

Objective:To explore the effect of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on the expression of high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) in peritoneal macrophages of septic mice and its possible mechanisms.Methods:Ihe mouse peritoneal macrophages were isolated and cultured by conventional methods.The model of inflammation was established by using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to incubate with mouse peritoneal macrophages.The PGE2,prostaglandin E receptor (EP) 4 agonist,EP4 RNAi,and DN.CREB inhibitory plasmid were used to interfere with the LPS-treated mouse peritoneal macrophage.The levels of HMGB 1 was determined by Western blot.Results:Compared with LPS alone treatment,the expression of HMGB 1 in peritoneal macrophages was increased obviously after 24 h by treatment with PGE2 and LPS,and it was also increased after the combined treatment of EP4 receptor agonist with LPS for 24 h (both P<0.05);compared with the PGE2+LPS treatment,the level of HMGB1 was decreased after knockdown of EP4 receptor expression (P<0.05);compared with EP4 receptor agonist +LPS treatment,there was no difference in HMGB1 levels in mice after the treatment with DN.CREB plasmid to suppress CREB function (P>0.05);compared with LPS alone treatment,the combined treatment of EP4 receptor agonist with LPS for 24 h could up-regulate the phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and protein kinase B (Akt) thr308 (P<0.05),which were blocked by EGFR inhibitor.Once Akt specific inhibitor was used before EP4 and LPS treatment,the expression of HMGB1 was declined (P<0.05).Conclusion:PGE2 can up-regulate the expression of HMGB1 in sepsis of peritoneal macrophages through EP4 receptor,which may be related to the activation of EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
