2.Tetracycline inhibits the expression of adhesive molecules on activated endothelial cells
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(01):-
AIM To investigate the effects of tetracycline on the expression of adhesive molecules E selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM 1) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF ?) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS HUVECs were activated by TNF ? (0 5~50 ?g?L 1 ) or LPS (0 5~50 mg?L -1 ). Tetracycline (10 -6 ~10 -4 mol?L -1 ) was used to incubate HUVECs for 1 h before stimulation with TNF ? ( 1 ?g?L -1 ) or LPS ( 5 mg?L -1 ) and co incubate HUVECs with TNF ? or LPS for 4 h or 18 h. The expression of adhesive molecules on HUVECs was measured by a cellular enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (Cell ELISA) method. RESULTS After stimulation of HUVECs with TNF ? or LPS for 4 h induced E selectin expression, and exposure HUVECs to TNF ? or LPS for 18 h increased constitutive expression of ICAM 1 compared with control group ( P

Objective:To analyze genetic diversity of Fluconazole(FLZ)-resistant and -susceptible Candida albicans(C. albicans) strains isolated from patients with Sjgren's Syndrome (SS). Methods:30 C.albicans strains were isolated from the patients with SS and identified using standard criteria. Microdilution method was performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of C.albicans to FLZ. A composite genotype was generated for each strain through random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using three different primers, RSD10, RSD11 and RSD12. Results:The DNA fingerprinting profiles indicated genetic diversity amongst both the FLZ-resistant as well as -susceptible isolates, and no specific features emerged distinguishing the drug-resistant and -susceptible groups. Conclusion:These observations cast doubt on the theory of a clonal origin of FLZ-resistant C. albicans isolates. The emergence of FLZ resistance in SS patients may be associated with continuous exposure to FLZ.

OBJECTIVE:
To examine AMCase mRNA expression levels in nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis SD rats.
METHOD:
Thirty SD rats were chosen and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. 20 in experimental group and 10 in the control group. AR model rats were established through repeated intraperitoneal shot of ovalbumin (OVA) for 2 weeks and consequently confirmed by local challenge with OVA for 1 week. The control group was treated by the same method with Physiological saline water instead of OVA. After the last excitation allergic rhinitis was diagnosed according to the accumulation score about nasal symptom. The septal mucosa of all rats were used to diagnose pathologically by HE dyeing. AMCase mRNA in nasal mucosa, obtained from the bilateral nasal mucosa in two groups, were used to do reverse transcriptive polymerase chain reaction. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to examine AMCase mRNA expression levels.
RESULT:
(1) The results showed definitely that there were positive expression of AMCase mRNA in normal nasal mucosa. This expression increase significantly during nasal allergy (P < 0.05). (2) The increased expression of AMCase mRNA in allergic rhinitis are related with the nasal symptoms score (r = 0.411, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Increased expression of AMCase mRNA in nasal mucosa in allergic rhinitis model might play roles in the pathogenesis of AR, and Restrain the enzyme activity could become new treatment targets of allergic rhinitis.

Objective To explore the relationship between the stromal angiogenesis and growth of the large intestinal carcinoma. Methods The vascular quantitative parameters(, , Sv, TA/BA) of the distal and proximal ends of the carcinoma, the center of the carcinoma, and the intestinal mucosa of distal and proximal ends of carcinoma were analyzed with computerized image. Differentiation degree of tumor cell was observed microscopically. Results Of the 48 cases studied, significant differences( P

Objective To provide the theoretic basis for the clearance of the metastatic lymph nodes in radical operation of colorectal carcinoma(CRC) by means of exploring the relationship between mass size of both tumor and lymph nodes and the rate of lymph node metastasis. Methods A total of 702 lymph nodes from 57 cases of CRC radical operations were divided into 5 groups and each of the lymph nodes was examined. The size of lymph nodes, Dukes' phases, the pathological types of CRC and their metastasis rate were analyzed. Results ① High metastasis rate was found at Dukes' C and D phases of CRC, being 29.93% and 48.12%, respectively. ② The metastasis rates of mucous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma were the highest of all pathological types, being 59 52% and 59.26%, respectively. ③ Metastasis rate of lymph nodes was not correlated with the mass size of tumor, but correlated with Dukes' phase. Conclusion ① Metastasis rate of lymph nodes increases with the growth and infiltration of tumor. ② Metastasis rates of mucous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma are higher than those of well and mid differentiated carcinomas. ③ Metastasis may be suggested for lymph node of CRC more than 5 mm in diameter during operation. However, clearance of lymph node of CRC less than 5 mm in diameter needs further study.
