Objective To study the effect of lecithin pollen on hyperlipidemia model experimental animals.Methods Mice were feed with high-fat feeds in order to establish the hyperlipidemia models.The contents of TC,TG and HDL-C in the serum of the mice were tested before the experiment and the mice were divided into 5 groups according to their TC level,induding the control group,the model group and 1.25,2.50and 3.75g/kg lecithin pollen groups.Lecithin pollen was given preventively for 30 days,and then the TC,TG and HDL-C level of the mice were retested.Results Compared with the model group, the TC level of the middle and high dose group decreased. The TG level of the high dose group also decreased and the HDL-C level of the high dose group increased. The difference was significant. Conclusion The lecithin pollen is effective in preventing the formation of hyperlipidemia in the experimental mice.

OBJECTIVEThis study was aimed to explore the physiological changes and the effect of heat acclimation training via a randomized control trial study.

METHODSForty healthy male volunteers were chosen and divided into experimental group and control group randomly. Those in experimental group received heat acclimation training including but not limited to meditation, unarmed run, yoga, and stepping in hot lab environment. And then, subjective feeling, rectal temperature, average skin temperature, and sweat electrolytes concentration were detected in order to describe their physiological changes. Before and after the training, both groups received some tests and their 3 000 m run-race time, nervous reaction time and subjective perception scores were recorded to evaluate the effect of acclimation training.

RESULTS(1) There was no difference in 3 000 m between the 2 groups in the same environment. Subjects' 3 000 m race time in experimental group was obviously shortened than that in control group in room temperature environment (t = 2.326, P < 0.05). And subjects' 3 000 m race time in experimental group was obviously shortened than that in control group in hot-humid environment (t = 4.518, P < 0.01). (2) Subjects' reaction time (RT) in experimental group was shortened than that in control group in room temperature environment (Z = 11.258, P < 0.05). And Subjects' RT in experimental group was sharply shortened than that in control group in hot-humid environment (Z = 6.519, P < 0.01). (3) No difference between the experimental and control groups was observed in subjective perception score (SPS) in room temperature environment. But subjects' SPS in experimental group was obviously lowered than that in control group and in hot-humid environment (t = 17.958, P < 0.01).(4) Anal temperature (AT) was lowered during training, while the change of mean skin temperature (MST) was not significant. Sweat sodium concentration (SSC) was lowered during training. SPS continued to decrease and entered plateau on the 13th day after training.(5) After acclimation training, the working capacity of the experimental group in hot-humid environment was over 85% of that in room temperature environment. While subjects' working capacity in control group in hot-humid environment was about 80% of that in room temperature environment.

CONCLUSIONHot-humid environment acclimation training improved the working capacity. After training, subjects' working capacity in hot-humid environment remained over 85% of that in room temperature environment, which was higher than that of those subjects who did not take part in training.

Objective: To explore whether short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting Bcl-2 can enhance the inhibitory effect of methotrexate (MTX) on growth of subcutaneously-transplanted human lymphoma in nude mice. Methods: Recombinant shRNA expression vector targeting the coding region of Bcl-2 mRNA was constructed and preserved in our lab. Human lymphoma Raji cells were injected subcutaneously into 45 nude mice to establish lymphoma models. The polyethylenimine (PEI)/shRNA complex and (or) MTX were injected into tumors. The influence of Bcl-2 shRNA and (or) MTX on tumor growth was observed. The animals were sacrificed 21 days after administration of drugs and the tumors were removed and weighed; the tumor inhibitory rate was calculated. H-E staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of the tumor. The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in the tumor tissues was examined by RT-PCR. Results: The tumor growth was significantly slower in Bcl-2 shRNA/MTX group than in Bcl-2 shRNA or MTX alone groups (P<0.05). The tumor weight of mice in Bcl-2 shRNA plus MTX group was significantly lower than those in negative shRNA and blank plasmid group (P<0.05). The inhibition rate of tumor growth in Bcl-2 shRNA/MTX was significantly higher than those in the Bcl-2 shRNA or MTX alone groups (P< 0.05). H-E staining showed obvious apoptosis and necrosis in Bcl-2 shRNA group and MTX group. RT-PCR result showed that the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in tumor cell suspension was significantly decreased in Bcl-2 shRNA group (P<0.05), and kept unchanged in the control group. Conclusion: The shRNA targeting Bcl-2 can enhance the inhibitory effect of MTX on the growth of subcutaneously transplanted human lymphoma in nude mice.

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Quercus pannosa. Methods: The compounds were isolated and purified by chromatography on silica gel and RP C18 columns, and HPLC, and their structures were assigned on the basic of spectroscopic data. Results: From the ethyl acetate fraction of 95% ethanol extract from Q. pannosa, eight compounds were isolated. Among them, four were lignans and other four were triterpenoids. They were identified as rel-(7α, 8β)-3-methoxy-4', 7-epoxy-8, 3'-oxyneolignan-4, 9, 8'-triol (1), rel-(7α, 8β)-3-methoxy-4', 7-epoxy-8, 3'-oxyneolignan-4, 9, 9'-triol (2), (+)-syringaresinol (3), (8R, 8'R)-4, 4'-dihydroxy-3, 3'-dimethoxylianane-7, 7'-dione (4), ursolic acid (5), oleanolic acid (6), maslinic acid (7), and hederagenin (8). Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new lignan, named quercus pannosa-triol. The other compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time.

Objective To estimate effects of AG490, a selective inhibitor of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, on the biological behavior of human keloid?derived fibroblasts (HKFs), and to explore their possible mechanisms. Methods In vitro cultured human skin fibroblasts(HSFs)and HKFs were both divided into several groups to be treated with AG490 at different concentrations (12.5, 25, 50, 75, 100 μmol/L), with those receiving no treatment serving as the control group. Then, cell counting kit?8(CCK?8)assay was performed to evaluate cellular proliferative activity of HSFs and HKFs after 24?, 48?and 72?hour treatment, flow cytometry to estimate cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate in HKFs after 24?hour treatment, reverse transcription(RT)?PCR to measure STAT3 and cyclin D1 mRNA expressions in treated HKFs as well as STAT3 mRNA expression in untreated HSFs and HKFs after 24?hour culture, and Western blot analysis to measure the protein expressions of STAT3 and p?STAT3 in HSFs and HKFs after 24?hour treatment. Results CCK?8 assay showed that the proliferation inhibition rates of both HSFs and HKFs gradually increased along with the increase in AG490 concentrations and treatment duration, and the inhibitory effects increased in both dose?and time?dependent manners(all P<0.05). Besides, when cells were treated with the same concentrations of AG490 for same durations, the proliferation of HKFs were inhibited to a greater extent than that of HSFs(all P<0.05). As flow cytometry revealed, along with the increase of AG490 concentrations, the proportion of HKFs in G1 phase and the apoptosis rate in HKFs both increased gradually(all P < 0.01), while the proportion of HKFs in G2 phase gradually decreased(all P < 0.01), and the proportion of HKFs in S phase remained insignificantly changed. RT?PCR showed that the mRNA expression of STAT3 was significantly higher in untreated HKFs than in untreated HSFs after 24?hour normal culture(P < 0.05). After 24?hour treatment with AG490, the mRNA expressions of STAT3 and cyclin D1 in HKFs gradually decreased with the increase of AG490 concentrations. Correlation analysis revealed that the mRNA expression of cyclin D1 was positively correlated with that of STAT3 in AG490?treated HKFs (r = 0.855, P < 0.01). Western blot analysis showed that the protein expressions of both STAT3 and p ? STAT3 gradually decreased in HKFs and HSFs along with the increase of AG490 concentrations(all P < 0.05), and were significantly lower in HKFs than in HSFs (both P < 0.05). Conclusion AG490 can effectively inhibit HKF proliferation by selectively blocking the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.
