This study was aimed to explore the mechanism of baicalin on high altitude cerebral hypoxia-ischemia on mice and its influence on related target protein expressions. Morris water maze was used to screen 50 Kunming mice, which were randomly divided into the model group, control group, the low dose (0.05 mg·kg-1), middle dose (0.20 mg·kg-1) and high dose (0.60 mg·kg-1) baicalin group, with 10 rats in each group. The space memory and learning ability of mice were tested. The animal cabin with low oxygen (simulating at 4 000 m altitude) was used to establish the stable high altitude cerebral hypoxia-ischemia mouse model. Changes on SOD content, GSH-PX activities and MDA content in hippocampal tissues of mice were detected. The expressions of different target proteins, including cleaved-caspase 3, P-AKT, GFAP, Bax and Bcl-2 in brain stem of mice were detected by western blot. The results showed that the latent period of the model group was obviously longer than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The latent period of high dose baicalin group was shorter than the model group with significant difference (P< 0.05). Therefore, the best effective dose of baicalin was 0.60 mg·kg-1. Compared with the control group, the content of MDA in the hippocampal tissues of mice in the model group was significantly increased; the SOD and GSH-PX activity were obviously reduced (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the SOD and GSH-PX activity were obviously increased in the brain tissues of mice in the high dose baicalin group; and the content of MDA was obviously reduced (P < 0.05). From the level of protein changes, the stripes of cleaved-caspase 3, P-AKT, GFAP protein expressions in the model group were strengthened compared to the control group; the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 was also obviously increased (P < 0.05). The expression of the baicalin group was lower than that of the model group (P < 0.05). Among them, the expression of the high dose baicalin group was the lowest. It had certain dose-response relationship. It was concluded that baicalin had protective effect on high altitude cerebral hypoxia-ischemia. Its mechanism may be related to its powerful oxidation resistance and its inhibition on expression of different target proteins, including cleaved-caspase 3, P-AKT, GFAP, Bax, Bcl-2 for the change of apoptotic pathway.

It is need to strengthen propaganda and intervention of rational drug use.

To investigate the modulation on the P-glycoprotein in the jejunum by combined use of Glycyrrhiza inflata and Kansui with ussing chamber and rt-pcr, Rhodamine 123 (R123), a P-gp substrate and fluorescein sodium (CF), a model drug of non-P-gp substrate transported by a passive diffusion were taken as investigational drugs. Because these two drugs can be easily assayed and widely used in various research fields. The permeability of R123 or CF via Wistar rat jejunum membranes was evaluated by in vitro ussing chamber after oral administration of four different decoctions of Glycyrrhiza inflata and Kansui for 1 week. And the concentration of R123 or CF was determined by the fluorospectrophotometry in the receiving solution. Meanwhile the expression of mdr1a in P-glycoprotein was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. After oral administration of combined decoction of the single drug, the absorptive directed permeability of R123 increased significantly (P < 0.01). On the other hand, Kansui and combine decoction of the two drugs also decrease the permeability of secretory directed transport (P < 0.05). No action of Glycyrrhiza inflata was found on the secretory transport of R123 [Papp = (2.56 +/- 0.38) x 10(-5), cm x s(-1)] across the jejunum tissues, while Papp of control group was found [Papp = (2.35 +/- 0.27) x 10(-5), cm x s(-1)]. After oral administration of Kansui decoction for 1 week and 2 weeks, the levels of mdr1a expression in Wistar rats were lower than that of the control group, but there were no significant difference in the results. Meanwhile, Glycyrrhiza inflata had no effect on transport of CF across the jejunum tissues, though the other three groups could decrease the permeability of CF, as compared with control group. Kansui may slightly inhibit P-glycoprotein function in the intestinal membrane. For another, some compositions in Kansui inhibit P-glycoprotein function, and some others strengthen the tight junction between cells in the intestinal membrane to decrease permeability of CF. As the inhibitory action to P-glycoprotein was enhanced by combination of Glycyrrhiza inflata and Kansui, based on the results, it may be one of the mechanisms of creating toxicity once co-administration of Glycyrrhiza inflata and Kansui.

OBJECTIVETo construct full-length human bladder cancer-specific antibody libraries for efficient display of full-length antibodies on the surface of mammalian cells.

METHODSThe total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with bladder cancer. The repertoires of IgG1 heavy chain variable region (VH) and Kappa light chain were amplified by RT-PCR using specific primers. The antibody genes were inserted into the vector pDGB-HC-TM to construct the bladder-cancer-specific antibody libraries of heavy chains and light chains. Ten clones from each library were randomly picked for gene sequencing and transient transfection into FCHO cells to analyze antibody display on mammalian cell surface by flow cytometry after staining with corresponding fluorescent labeled antibodies.

RESULTSThe libraries of bladder-cancer-specific antibody heavy chain (IgG1) and light chain (LCk) were successfully constructed. Seven out of the 10 clones randomly selected from the heavy chain library and 9 out of the 10 clones from the light chain library showed correct open reading frame, coding for 7 unique VH and 9 unique LCk. The combinatory library size reached 3.32×10(11).

CONCLUSIONWe have successfully constructed a full-length human bladder-cancer-specific antibody library with a combinatory diversity of 3.32×10(11) based on mammalian display technology, which can be used for screening monoclonal antibodies against bladder-cancer-associated antigens.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of pulmonary lymphoma and to get a better understanding of this disease. Methods Clinical data of 253 lymphoma patients in the Department of Lymphoma and Hematology in Jilin Cancer Hospital from October 2014 to March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 30 cases of pulmonary lymphoma (lung lymphoma group) and 223 cases of non-pulmonary lymphoma (the control group). Rate assay and latex turbidimetry was used to detect lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and β2macroglobulin (β2-MG) respectively. The expressions of programmed death 1 (PD-1), programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in peripheral blood CD4 +CD8 +T lymphocytes were detected by using flow cytometry. The count and measurement data of both groups were compared by using χ 2test and t test respectively. Results The patients in pulmonary lymphoma group showed secondary lesions. The proportion of smoking people in pulmonary lymphoma group was higher than that in the control group [43.3 % (13/30) vs. 24.2 % (54/223), χ 2＝ 4.964, P＝ 0.026]. The proportion of the patients in Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage in pulmonary lymphoma group was higher than that in the control group [93.3 % (28/30) vs. 57.0 % (127/223), χ2＝ 14.750, P < 0.001]. The proportion of the patients with higher international prognostic index (IPI) score in pulmonary lymphoma group was higher than that in the control group (χ2＝ 21.888, P < 0.001). The proportion of the patients with increased expression of β2-MG in pulmonary lymphoma group was higher compared with the control group [66.7 % (20/30) vs. 50.2 % (112/223), χ2＝6.682, P ＝0.091]. The proportion of the patients with the increased LDH was higher compared with the control group [63.3 % (19/30) vs. 41.5 % (86/223)], and the difference was statistically significant (χ2＝ 6.682, P ＝ 0.010). Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the common pathological type in pulmonary lymphoma group (15 cases), followed by Hodgkin lymphoma (7 cases); imaging showed single mass or nodular type, multiple masses or nodular type, bilateral pulmonary infiltration, pleural effusion were 36.7 % (11/30), 30.0 % (9/30), 63.3 % (19/30) and 36.7 % (11/30), respectively. There were no statistical differences in the protein expression of immune check points such as PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 in both groups (all P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions Pulmonary DLBCL should be considered a secondary disease, but not a primary lesion. Smoking history is a risk factor for lymphoma patients with pulmonary involvement. Pulmonary lymphoma is similar to other extra-nodal lymphoma with high IPI scores, advanced stage and elevated LDH.

OBJECTIVETo construct a personalized full-length fully human antibody mammalian display library for children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

METHODSThe total RNA was isolated from the PBMCs of SLE children. The heavy chain variable region and kappa light chain (VH and LCκ) of the antibody genes were amplified by RT-PCR and inserted into the pDGB-HC-TM vector separately to construct the heavy chain and light chain libraries. The library DNAs were transfected into 293T cells and the expression of full-length fully human antibody on the surface of 293T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.

RESULTSUsing 0.8 µg total RNA as the template, the VH and LCκ were amplified and the full-length fully human antibody mammalian display library was constructed. The VH and LCκ gene libraries had a size of 9.4×10(4) and 8.4×10(4), respectively. Sequence analysis of 10 clones randomly selected from the VH and LCκ gene libraries each showed that 8 heavy chain clones and 7 light chain clones contained correct open reading frames, and flow cytometry demonstrated that all the 15 clones express full-length antibodies on 293T cell surfaces. 293T cells co-transfected with the VH and LCκ gene libraries expressed the full-length antibodies on the cell surface.

CONCLUSIONThe personalized full-length fully human antibody library for SLE children constructed allows display of the full-length antibodies on mammalian cell surfaces, thus providing a valuable platform for analyzing the autoantibodies, their etiological role, and their clinical implications in SLE.
