Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(5):571-576
Objective To study the effects of attenuated Salmonella(Ty21a-pIRES-IL-2-NK4,TPIN)carrying interleukin-2(IL-2)/4-kringle antagonist of hepatocyte growth factor(NK4)double gene on humoral and cellular immune function.Methods Eighteen BALB/c mice,half male and half female,were randomly divided into control group(1. 5 mL 10%NaHCO3 by gastric tube feeding),Ty21a group(0. 1 mL Ty21a by gastric tube feeding)and TPIN group(0. 1 mL TPIN by gastric tube feeding),with 6 mice in each group. The immunization was boosted twice 7 d after the initial immunization. At 21d after administration,the blood samples were collected from eyeballs and the serum was separated,which was detected for the serum IgG antibody level by ELISA. The thymus and spleen of mice were isolated aseptically,and the spleen cells were stimulated by Ty21a and TPIN respectively in vitro. After 72 h,the proliferation ability of spleen cells was measured by CCK-8 assay,and the expression level of cytokines in spleen cells was detected by ELISA. The spleen and thymus were weighed,the spleen and thymus indexes were analyzed,and HE staining was performed.Results Compared with the control group and Ty21a group,the serum IgG level(F = 111. 74,P < 0. 01)and the contents of IFNγ,IL-4 and IL-10 in spleen cell supernatant(F = 38. 21,11. 37 and 26. 92,respectively,each P < 0. 05)increased significantly,as well as the spleen and thymus indexes(F = 10. 419 and 5. 859,respectively,each P < 0. 05)showed significant increase. In mice of Ty21a and TPIN group,the thymus cortex widened,lymphocytes increased,and there was mild inflammatory reaction;the white pulp and lymphocytes in spleen increased with neutrophil infiltration.Conclusion TPIN has a good immune protective effect,and can significantly stimulate the body to produce humoral immunity and cellular immunity,which may have a good therapeutic effect on tumors.

Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2000;21(4):213-215
Objective To study the changes of ICAM-1 expression in transplanted lung at the early stage after rat pulmonary transplantation.Methods The expression level of ICAM-1 protein and its mRNA in rat transplanted lung after 4 h of ventilation and reperfussion were detected by using immunohisto chemical method(SABC method)and semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase reaction method in the experimental group(n=6).When donor lungs had been flushed with low potassium solution(LPDS) and preserved in 4.C LPDS for 12 h,left orthotopic pulmonary transplantation was performed.In control group (n=6), left pulmonary artery,pulmonary vein and bronchi were fully freed to be naked.Immunohistochemical test results were recorded in negative(-),suspicion(±),faint positive(+),positive(++)and intensive positive(+++).PCR products were separated by agrose gels and the density of the bands were determined by density scanning.Results The stained color of alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary vascular endothdial cells in the transplanted lung was significantly more intensive in experimental group than in control group(P<0.01) and the relative density values(ICAM-1/βactin)were also significandy higher in experimental group(0.837±0.044) than in control group (0.442±0.037),P<0.01. Conclusions ICAM-1 expression in the transplanted lung was up-regulated in the early stage after pulmonary transplantation,which was related with the enhancement of ICAM-1 mRNA.

Objective To explore the role of bright vessel sign (BVS) on raw three dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D ASL) image in evaluating occlusion of intracranial artery. Methods One hundred and twenty-two patients who were highly suspected of acute cerebral infarction were enrolled and analyzed. All patients were performed magnetic resonance scan with diffusion weighted image (DWI), 3D ASL and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) sequences within 24 hours after admission. The presence or absence of restricted lesion on DWI, BVS and occlusion of intracrainal artery on MRA was reviewed. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of BVS and consistency of BVS and MRA in assessing occlusion of intracranial artery were assessed. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of BVS in assessing occlusion of intracranial artery were 83%, 99%, 95% and 96%, respectively.And the presence or absence of BVS on ASL was highly consistent with MRA in assessing occlusion of intracranial artery (κ=0.86, P<0.01). Conclusion BVS has a good sensitivity and high specificity in identifying occlusion of intracranial artery, and it is highly consistent with MRA.

Objective To study the effects of extensively hydrolyzed formula forvery/extremely low birth weight(VLBW/ELBW)infants.Methods From Jun.2013 to Oct.2015,78VLBW/ELBW infants admitted to our hospital within 12 hours of birth were randomly assigned into two groups:hydrolyzed protein formula feeding group ( hydrolyzed formula group) and preterm formula feeding group (control group). Infants with hospital stay <28 days were excluded. Prospective study was conducted between two groups comparing the duration of meconium discharge, the time required for total enteral feeding average hospital stay, feeding intolerance and physical growth and blood biochemical indices on the28thday.Results A total of 78 infants were enrolled,35 in hydrolyzed formula group and 43 in control group. Comparing with control group, feeding intolerance in hydrolyzed formula group was significantly lower ( 25. 7℅ vs. 72. 0℅) . The duration of meconium discharge [ ( 4. 9 ± 0. 8 ) d vs. (8. 8 ± 1. 6)d], the time required for total enteral feeding[(13. 4 ± 2. 0) d vs. (18. 9 ± 2. 6) d] and average hospital stay duration [ ( 33. 7 ± 5. 1 ) d vs. ( 41. 8 ± 6. 8 ) d ] was shorter in hydrolyzed formula group ( P<0. 05). The body length on the 28th day in hydrolyzed formula group was longer than control group[ (43. 8 ± 1. 2 ) cm vs. ( 42. 6 ± 2. 0 ) cm, P < 0. 05 ] . The concentration of serum albumin [ (32. 5 ± 3. 0 ) g/L vs. ( 30. 0 ± 4. 5 ) g/L ] and hemoglobin [ ( 112. 4 ± 11. 4 ) g/L vs. ( 106. 3 ± 13. 0) g/L] in hydrolyzed formula group were significantly higher than the control group( P<0. 05). No significant difference was found between the two groups regarding the time required returning to birth weight [(10. 9 ±2. 2)d vs. (10. 1 ±1. 7)d],body weight [(1759 ±107)g vs. (1627 ±435)g], head circumference[(30. 3 ± 1. 0)cm vs. (29. 7 ± 1. 6)cm] on the 28th day and the incidence of extrauterine growthretardation(EUGR)(40.0℅vs.44.1℅)atdischarge.Conclusions Comparing with preterm formula feeding, early feeding with extensively hydrolyzed formula can reduce the incidence of feeding intolerance on VLBW/ELBW infants. Extensively hydrolyzed formula also can accelerate meconium discharge, reduce hospital stay duration and the time required for total enteral feeding. But the growth of weight and head circumference on the 28th day and the incidence of EUGR at discharge were not altered by extensively hydrolyzed formula.

Exons encoding the variable regions of the light and heavy chain of the murine McAb HIT3a against CD3 antigen were isolated from HIT3a gene library and inserted into mammalian expression vectors containing the human K and y1 region exons. The chimeric genes were transfected into murine SP2/0 hybridoma cells by Lipofectin. Antibody levels of culture supernatants from transfectomas ranged 21~32 ?g/ml. The chimeric antibodies bound specifically to human T cells and competed effectivelly with the parental anti-CD3 murine McAb for binding to CD3 antigen on human T cells. The ability to promote antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytolysis was significantly enhanced with the chimeric antibodies as compared with anti-CD3 murine McAb. The mitogenic activity of human T cells can be suppressed and enhanced by the anti-CD3 chimeric antibodies. The cytotoxicity to tumor cells and proliferation of human T cells mediated by the anti-CD3 chimeric antibodies were much higher than IL-2 alone. Chimeric HIT3a antibody is a clinically relevant, genetically engineering antibody with potential use in treatment of graft-versus-host disease in tranplantation, autoimmune diseases and some tumors.

Objective To research the mechanism of TX0201 abstracted from Heart-Regulating Formula in treatment of rats with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods The rat model of AD was induced by A?25-35 injected into the bilateral amygdale. To observe the spatial learning and memory ability, by means of RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis, the expression of ?-amyloid precursor protein (APP), glial filament acid protein (GFAP) in the brain of the model animal were examined. Results In AD model group, the spatial learning and memory ability was damaged significantly, the expression of APP mRNA increased in its cortex and hippocampus. GFAP immunopositive signal, and IL-6 mRNA in cortex and hippocampus and the expression of IL-1? mRNA in hippocampus were upregulated. TX0201 improved the spatial learning and memory disturbance, decreased the expression of APP mRNA and IL-1? mRNA in hippocampus, downregulated GFAP and IL-6 mRNA in cortex and hippocampus. Conclusions The model showed the characteristic of AD such as memory hypofunction. TX0201 could partially ameliorate memory function, decrease the expression of APP mRNA in hippocampus, alleviate inflammation-immunity reaction, that is one of the effect mechanisms of TX0201.

Objective To investigate the effects of low-concentration lidocaine on the persistent sodium currents enhanced by hypoxia in isolated rat CA1 hippocampal neurons. Methods Brains were harvested from 10-14 day old SD rats of both sexes. Hippocampi were immediately isolated and cut into slices (400-500 ?m) which were incubated in artificial cerebral-spinal fluid (ACSF) at 31 ℃ for 1-1.5 h. CA1 regions were isolated and hippocampal neurons were prepared by enzymatical digestion. The experiment was performed in 7 groups ( n = 10 each): hypoxie control group (C) and lidocaine 1, 3, 6, 10, 20, 30 ?mol groups (L1-6). The isolated neurons were transferred to the recording chamber. The persistent sodium currents were recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique first under normal condition. The normal perfusion solution was then replaced with hypoxie and glucose free perfusion solution within 20 seconds. The persistent sodium currents were recorded again after being perfused with hypoxie and glucose free solution with and without lidocaine. Results The persistent sodium current was greatly enhanced after 5 min hypoxia as compared to the baseline value before hypoxia. The persistent sodium current in group L1-6 was significantly lower than that in group C after 5 min hypoxia. The inhibitory effect of lidocaine on the persistent sodium current enhanced by hypoxia was dose-dependent. Conclusion Low concentration lidocaine can inhibit the persistent sodium current enhanced by hypoxia.
