AIM: To further investigate the mechanism of bronchial asthma.METHODS: Experimental asthma mouse model was established with OVA, and immunocytes were isolated, including macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells, CD3 +T cells, CD4 +T cells and CD8 +T cells from spleen. Antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity(ADCC) effects of all these cells were detected with cell proliferation and improved MTT colorimetry methods.RESULTS: The ADCC functions of M, B cells, CD3 +T cells,CD4 +T cells and CD8 +T cells from asthmatic mice were weaker than that from control ( P

The growth-inhibiting and apoptosis-inducing effects of WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene on ovarian cancer cell line A2780 were investigated. The full length cDNA of human WWOX gene was amplified from normal human ovary tissues. The correct cDNA of full length WWOX was subcloned into eukaryocytic expression vector pCMV. After introduction of WWOX gene into cancer cells with liposome, the WWOX mRNA and protein level in the cancer cells were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunoblotting. The growth activities of cancer cells were detected by Trypan blue staining. The clone formation assay in soft agar was employed to observe the proliferation of the cancer cells. Apoptosis was examined by DNA ladder and acridine orange-ethidium bromide fluorescent staining. The results showed that 72 h after WWOX gene transfection, the WWOX expression was increased significantly (P<0.01). The growth of ovarian cancer cells was decreased by 16.41% to 38.49% (P<0.01). The clone formation abilities were reduced (P<0.01). Some cancer cells presented the characteristic morphological changes of apoptosis with obvious ladder bands on electrophoresis. The apoptosis rate was (20.7+/-6.0)% (P<0.01). It was concluded that over-expression of WWOX gene could induce apoptosis and inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells, which might be potentially useful in the gene therapy of ovarian cancers.

Objective To investigate the effect of MDR1 and MDR3 gene silence by shRNA of human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7/Adr,and explore the role of MDR1 and MDR3 in adriamycin-resistance of breast carcinoma cells. Methods shRNA plasmid vector specifically targeting MDR1 and MDR3 gene was transfected into cells. The control group was transfected with empty vector. The concentration of adriamycin was detected by the flow cytometry (FCM). Cell apoptosis was analysed by FITC-Annexin-V/PI double staining. Cell viability and the IC50 of adriamycin on MCF-7/Adr cells were determined by MTT method. MDR1 and MDR3 mRNA were assessed by RT-PCR. P-gp expression was detectedby immunochemistry. Results After treatment with ABCB1 and ABCB4 shRNA plasmid vector, the apoptosis of MCF-7/Adr cells was (30.21±1.65)%and (22.07±2.17)% respectively. Compared with untransfecedgroup and empty vector transfection group the difference was significant(P＜0.01). MDR1 and MDR3 shRNAcould increase cellular adriamycin accumulation of MCF-7/Adr cells. MCF-7/Adr cells viability and the IC50were significantly decreased after transfection. Compared with untransfeced group and empty vector transfectiongroup, the mRNA level of MDR1 and MDR3 in MCF-7/Adr cells were decreased by (89.5±0.8)%and(85.1±1.2)%, the reduction of MDR1 and MDR3 mRNA was in a time-dependent manner. Immunochemistry proved that the expression of p-gp was significantly inhibited. Compared with untransfeced group and empty vector transfection group the difference was significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion The shRNA can effectively and specifically silence the expression of MDR1 and MDR3 gene, reverse the adriamycin-resistance mediated by P-gp in MCF-7/Adr cells. The reversal effect of adriamycin-resistance by shRNA of MDR1 is more effective than that of MDR3.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of the video intubationscope and Macintosh direct laryngoscope in simulated cervical spine immobilization. Methods Sixty patients, ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ , between 19 and 68 years old, underwent general anesthesia requiring oro-tracheal intubation, were randomly assigned to undergo intubation using video intubationscope (group V) or Macintosh direct laryngoscope (group M), 30 cases in each. Each patient was provided mannal in-line axial stabilization of the head and neck by an experienced assistant. The following data were recorded and analyzed: glottic exposure time, Cormark-Lehane grade (C-L classification), tracheal intubation time, total intubation attempts, manoeuvre needed to aid tracheal intubation, failure for tracheal intubation, one-time success rate of tracheal intubation and total success rate of tracheal intubation, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) before induction of anesthesia, before intubation, at glottic exposure, at intubation, 1 and 3 min after intubation, and complications. Results Compared with group M, better glottic exposure view (C-L classification) was achieved in group V (P < 0.05), and the tracheal intubation time was shorter (P <0.05), but the glottic exposure time was longer (P < 0.05). More assistance was need and the intubation failure and complication rate was higher in group M (P < 0.05). Compared with T1, MAP in group M were significantly increased at T2~T5 (P < 0.05), MAP in group V were no significantly changed at T2 (P > 0.05) and were significantly increased at T3~T5 (P < 0.05); compared with group M, MAP at T2~T4 in group V were significantly lower (P < 0.05). Compared with T1, HR in group V were no significantly changed at T2~T5, HR in group M were significantly increased at T2~T4 (P < 0.05), and significantly higher than that in group V at the same time point (P < 0.05). Conclusion Compared with Macintosh direct laryngoscopy in patients with cervical spine immobilization, Video intubationscope could provide better view of glottic exposure, decrease the difficulty of intubation and increase the success rate of intubation, have less complications and influence on patient’s hemodynamics.

Aim To explore the inhibition of Sinica Maxim′s extract( CSME) on resistant infections of burn wounds,such as the methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA ) , resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa (RPA) and resistant escherichia coli(RECO). Meth-ods The resistant strains were cultured by MH agar plates. After resistance genes of quality control strains were extracted and appraised, such as mecA, mexB, merA, qacE△1-sull, tnpU/A and mexB, etc, and then,some projects of CSME were detected,such as the antibacterial spectrum, the minimum inhibitory con-centration(MIC), different concentrations of sensitive rate and inhibition curves, etc. Finally, these results were compared with the inhibitory effects of some anti-biotics to determine the sensitivity rates of CSME. Re-sults The MIC of CSME was 62. 5 ,125 ,250 g · L-1 respectively on the MESA, RPA and RECO. The inhi-bition rates of CSME appeared concentration-dependent on these three kinds of resistant bacteria,and the inhi-bition rates of the multi-concentration CSME on RECO were significantly lower than on MRSA and RPA ( P<0. 05). While in MIC,the resistance rates of MRSA on carbenicillin, cefazolin, erythromycin were significant-ly higher than those of CSME(P<0. 05); The inhibi-tion zones of CSME were significantly smaller than those of ceftriaxone, cefepime, imipenem, but greater than those of other antibiotics( P<0. 05 ); The inhibi-tion zones of CSME on RPA were significantly smaller than those of carbenicillin, and greater than those of other antibiotics ( P <0. 05 ) . The inhibition zones of CSME on RECO were significantly smaller than those of ceftriaxone,cefepime,imipenem,ciprofloxacin,nitro-furazone,and greater than those of other antibiotics ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions CSME has a significant inhi-bition on burn wound infection with these three kinds of resistant bacteria,such as MRSA,RPA and RECO. It is prompted that CSME could become one of the effective drugs to control burn wound infections with multi-re-sistant strains.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of orotracheal intubation with video intubationscope and visual laryngoscope in obese patients. Methods 60 ASA I or II obese patients, BMI >30 kg/m2, aged 22 ~ 60 years, underwent elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation were randomly divided into two groups: the video intubationscope group (Group V) and the visual laryngoscope group (group K), 30 cases in each. Cormark-Lehane grade (C-L classification), tracheal intubation time, total intubation attempts, success rate of tracheal intubation and complications of tracheal intubation were recorded. Results Good glottic exposure view (C-L classification) was achieved in the two groups (P > 0.05), there were no significant difference in tracheal intubation time, the total success rate and the one-time success rate of tracheal intubation between the V and K groups [(24.4 ± 11.6) s vs (22.3 ± 13.2) s, 100.0% vs 100.0%, 90.0% vs 86.7%] (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the complications of tracheal intubation between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Video intubationscope and visual laryngoscope are suitable for tracheal intubation in obese patients, and has an advantage of good glottis exposure view, rapid intubation, great successful rate and few complications.

Objective To investigate the expression of specific marker molecules in hair-inducing activity of long-term cultured human dermal papilla cells (HDPCs) in vitro.Methods After dissected and cultured the HDPCs in vitro,the cells of passages 1 to 8 were used for experiments.The growth appearances of HDPCs in different passages were observed under inverted microscope.To detect the expression of specific marker molecules of long-term cultured HDPCs,the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of the HDPCs was examined,and the specific genes ALP and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) expression levels of HDPCs were determined by real-time quantitative PCR.Results After long-term cultured in vitro,the ALP and IGF-1 expression levels of HDPCs gradually decreased in different passages,as well as the display of the aggregated and cartouche growth.The ALP and IGF-1 expression levels of HDPCs in passage 1 was the highest,they were almost about 6.8-fold and 3.5-fold higher than the HDPCs in passage 8.The ALP staining of the HDPCs in passage 1 and passage 2 were evident,but the cells' ALP staining gradually became much weaker than the cells in the previous passages after the long-term cultured in vitro.Conclusions The expression levels of specific marker molecules ALP and IGF-1 of the HDPCs decrease gradually after long-term cultured in vitro,and the higher passage HDPCs lost the special aggregated and cartouche growth appearance,and hence lead to the loss of hair-inducing activity of HDPCs.

Objective To detect the expression of multidrug resistance proteins P-gp, LRP, MRP, and analyze the relationship between them and the clinicopathological factors. Methods The expression of P-gp,LRP, MRP in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections was determined by a labelled StreptavidinPeroxidase (SP) immunohistochemical technique, and the results were analyzed in correlation with clinicopathological data. None of these patients received chemotherapy prior to surgery. Results The positive rates of P-gp, LRP, MRP were 86.4 %, 84.7 % and 27.1%, respectively. The difference between the positive rate of P-gp and MRP was significant statistically, as well as the difference between the expression of MRP and LRP. No significant difference was observed between P-gp and LRP, but the positively correlation between the expression of P-gp and LRP was observed. No significant correlation between the expression of P-gp, LRP, MRP and the grade of differentiation were observed. The expression of P-gp was correlated with clinical stages positively (r=0.742), but the difference with the expression of P-gp in different stages was not significant. Conclusion The expression of P-gp, LRP, MRP in patients with gastric cancer without prior chemotherapy are high and indicates that innate drug resistance may exist in gastric cancer.
