Methods Thirty-six MRL/lpr mice were randomly divided into the control group, the study group,the mixed group ( the ratio of autogenic to hematopoietic stem cells, mixed in different proportions were infused intravenously after 60Co irradiation. The study group were treated with daily intraperitoneal infusion of dexamethasone 1 mg·kg-1·d-1, while the control group were treated with intraperitoneal infusion of equivalent volume of saline daily. The changes of serum creatinine level, the urine protein excretion of the mice and blood WBC count were compared. Repeat measures ANOVA was used for data analysis. ELISA was used for anti-nuclear antibody detection Light microscopy, electronic micros-copy, immunofluorescence were applied to detect the pathological changes in renal tissue. Results Serum creatinine and urine protein excretion levels increased with time in the ontrol group, while those of the transplant group and the study group decreased. The reduction in mixed transplantation group and the study group was more evident compared with that of the allogeneic group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the mixed transplantation groups and the study group (P>0.05). The histopathologic damage was most serious in the control group as pathological injury score of most mice were in grade 3 or 4. The majority of the histopathologic damage of the allogeneic group was in grade 2. Most f pathological damage of the study drug group and the mixed transplantation group were grade 1 or 2. Conclusion Mixed hematoopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of murine systemic lupus erythematosus can effectively correct heavy proteinuria in murine systemic lupus erythematosus so improve the renal damage. It is a safe and effectively way to treat murine systemic lupus erythematosus.

Objective To evaluate the effects of low dose intravenous minocycline postconditioning on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat,and to investigate the possible mechanisms. Methods Forty-eight male wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham-operation (SO)group,ischemia-reperfusion(IR)group,low-dose minocycline(3 mg/kg,LM)group and high-dose minocycline(10 mg/kg,HM)group. The rat model of myocardial IR was established by occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 minutes and reperfusion for 120 minutes.After the reperfusion,the parameters of haemodynamics were recorded;creatine kinase MB(CK-MB),cardiac troponin-I(cTn-I),malond-ialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)in serum and myocardium,myocardial apoptosis index(AI)and the myocardial tissue morphology were determined. Results Compared with IR group,LM and HM treatment significantly reduced the levels of CK-MB form,cTn-I,AI and MDA, lowered LVEDP,enhanced LVSP and ±dp/dtmax,elevated the activity of SOD in serum and myocardium(P<0.05). The effect of HM is stronger than LM on these above mentioned indicators,but the difference was not statistical significance(P>0.05). Conclusion LM postconditioning can protect against myocardial IR injury,and the protective effect may be related to the scavenging of oxide free radical,which further restrain the reac-tion of lipid peroxidation and apoptosis.

One influenza H3N2 virus, A/swine/Shandong/3/2005 (Sw/SD/3/2005), was isolated from pigs with respiratory disease on a farm in eastern China. Genetic analysis revealed that Sw/SD/3/2005 was a triple-reassortant virus with a PB2 gene from human-like HIN1, NS from classical swine H1NI, and the remaining genes from human-like H3N2 virus. These findings further support the concept that swine can serve as reservoir or mixing vessels of influenza virus strains and maintain genetic and antigenic stability of viruses. Furthermore, we have successfully established a reverse genetics system based on eight plasmids and rescued Sw/SD/3/2005 through cell transfection. HI tests and RT-PCR confirmed that the rescued virus maintained the biological properties of the wild type Sw/SD/3/2005. The successful establishment of the reverse genetics system of Sw/SD/3/2005 will enable us to conduct extensive studies of the molecular evolution of H3N2 influenza viruses in swine.
