AIMTo investigate the effects of protein tyrosine kinase on the inflammation and airway remodeling in lung of guinea pigs with bronchial asthma.
METHODS30 adult male guinea pigs were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=3): control group (C group), asthmatic group(A group)and genistein group (B group). Asthmatic model was established by ovalbumin intraperitoneal injection and ovalbumin inhalation. The total cell and the proportion of inflammatory cell in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid(BALF), inflammatory cell infiltration and index of remodeling of bronchiole were measured, respectively. The expression of p-tyrosine in lung tissue was examined by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTSThe total cell and proportion of eosinophil in BALF of A group were significantly higher than that of C group (P < 0.01), but compared with A group, the total cell and proportion of eosinophil in BALF of B group were much lower (P < 0.01). The number of eosinophile and lymphocyte of bronchiole in A group were significantly higher than that of C group (P < 0.01), but compared with A group, the number of eosinophile and lymphocyte in bronchiole of B group were much lower (P < 0.01). Compared with A group, the remodeling of bronchiole of B group was significantly relieved (P <0.01), there was no difference between B and C group (P > 0.05). Immunohistochemistry indicated that in A group the p-tyrosine was more positively expressed at the bronchial smooth muscle, bronchial epithelium, smooth muscle of vessel and inflammatory cell, especially at smooth muscle of bronchi and vessel and inflammatory cell than that of C group (P <0.01), there was no difference between B group and C group (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONPTK played a key role in inflammation and bronchial remodeling in lung of guinea pigs with bronchial asthma. The Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein could prevent and inhibit the inflammation and bronchial remodeling in lung of guinea pigs with bronchial asthma.

Objective To explore the effect of down-regulating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression by RNA interference on the proliferation of ovarian carcinoma SKOV3 cells. Methods The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmids pGenSil-HK,pGenSil-EGFR1 and pGenSil-EGFR2 were constructed and transfected into SKOV3 cells respectively. The mRNA and protein expressions of EGFR in SKOV3 cells were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively. The cell cycle and apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry. The proliferation of SKOV3 cells was determined by clone formation assay and MTT assay. Results We successfully constructed the recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmids pGenSil-HK,pGenSil-EGFR1 and pGenSil-EGFR2 and transfected into SKOV3 cells. Three cell clones were screened by G418. Compared with untransfected SKOV3 cells and SKOV3 cells transfected with pGenSil-HK,the expressions of EGFR in SKOV3 cells transfected with pGenSil-EGFR1,pGenSil-EGFR2 were inhibited significantly at both mRNA and protein levels,with an inhibitory rate of 41.87% and 68.07% for EGFR mRNA and of 45.21% and 70.25% for EGFR protein respectively. Compared with untransfected SKOV3 cells and SKOV3 cells transfected with pGenSil-HK,the cell apoptotic rate was significantly increased significantly,the cell cycle was arrested in G1 phase and S phase decreased significantly in pGenSil-EGFR2 SKOV3 cells (P

Human CD3AK cells were prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by culturing with recombinant IL-2 and antiCD3AK McAb. The mechanism and regulation of CD3AK cytotoxic activity with cytokines (rhIFN-?, rhIFN-?, TNF) and chernotherapeutic agents (CDDP or ADM) were observed by LDH-release assay, ABC-CELISA and the flow cytometric assay. The results showed: (1) Adhesion molecules ICAM-l/LFA-1 participated in CD3AK-mediated killing of tumor cells, hrlFN-? and TNF enhanced cytotoxicity of CD3AK through this pathway. (2) CD3AK could indirectly kill tumor cells by releasing soluable cytotoxic factors. (3) The membrane-associated TNF may be involved in CD3AK-mediated cytotoxicity. (4) CD3AK cells could induce the apoptosis of tumor cells. (5) Pretreatment of tumor cells with CDDP or ADM resulted in the increased vulnerability of tumor cells to CD3AK-mediated killing, the enhancement of CD3AK-mediated cytotoxicity by CDDP was relative to the increased expression of ICAM-1, HLA-ABC on tumor cell membrane.

BACKGROUND: Belladonna drugs have been widely used in clinic in our country to improve microcirculation, or as a herbal anesthetic drug. However,there are few reports regarding the animal experiments on belladonna alkaloid against morphine addiction further OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of belladonna alkaloid combined with morphine on morphine(Mor)-addicted mice so as to provide an experimental basis for development of belladonna to morphine addiction.DESIGN: A completely randomized-controlled study based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Laboratory of physiology of a medical college.MATERIALS: The study was performed at the Laboratory of Physiology of Medical Department of Hebei Engineering College from June 2004 to August 2004. Fifty 2-month old male healthy Kunming mice of clean grade with a body mass of(20±2) g were obtained from Experimental Animal Centre of Hebei Medical University.METHODS: According to evaluation index of dependence in Morphine-addicted animals, we chose pain threshold and naloxone-urged jumping response as items to observe. Fifty mice were randomly divided into 5 groups with 10 mice each, which were the control group (saline), the morphine group, the scopolamine(Sco)group, the anisodamine(Ani), atropine(Atr)group. The corresponding drugs or saline was administered by intraperitoneal (I. P.) injection once a day for 7 days. The pain threshold at 1 hour after I. P. Injection of drugs was observed from day 1 to day 7 by hot-plate method. Mice were given I.p. Injection of naloxone (Nal, 5 mg/kg ) 6hours after the last injection. The jumping times within 30 minutes were observed to evaluate the ,formation of the Morphine addiction.Nal-urged mice.RESULTS: The pain threshold of the mice in Morphine group was decreased significantly, and the jumping times and jumping rate were obviously increased compared with that of the control group( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).The co-administration of Sco-Mor mixtures for 7 days significantly increased the pain threshold of Mor-dependent mice( P < 0.01) and markedly decreased the jumping times and the jumping rate( P < 0. 05) . Atr-Mor and Ani-Mor had a weak effect on the elevation of the pain threshold of Mor-dependent mice, but had strong effects on the decrease of the jumping times and the jumping rate( P < 0. 01 ).CONCLUSION: Belladonna alkaloids all could antagonize Mor-dependence in mice at different degrees, which provide an important experimental evidence to develop belladonna drugs for preventing opium addiction.

Echinococcus granulosus is an important zoonotic parasite globally causing cystic echinococcosis (CE) in humans and animals. In this study, prevalence of CE and variation of cox1 gene sequence were analyzed with isolates E. granulosus collected from different areas in northern Xinjiang, China. The survey showed that 3.5% of sheep and 4.1% of cattle were infected with CE. Fragment of cox1 was amplified from all the positive sheep and cattle samples by PCR. In addition, 26 positive samples across the 4 areas were included. The isolates were all E. granulosus sensu stricto (s.s.) containing 15 haplotypes (Hap1-15), and clustered into 2 genotypes, G1 (90.1%, 91/101) and G3 (9.9%, 10/101). Hap1 was the most common haplotype (48.5%, 49/101). Hap9 were found in humans samples, indicating that sheep and cattle reservoir human CE. It is indicate that E. granulosus may impact on control of CE in livestock and humans in the region.
