Objective To investigate the role of cAMP-PKA signal transduction pathway in the ischemie pleeonditioning-induced attenuation of ischemia.1eperfusion(ITR)injury in isohted rat hearts.Methods Fifty healthy adult SD rats weighing 300-350 g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal(IP)pentobarbital 50 meg/kg.Their he.arts were excised and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with 37℃ oxygenated(95%O2-5%CO2)modified K-H solution at a constant pressure of 70 cm H2O,and randomly divided into 5 groups(n=10 each):group Ⅰ I/R;group Ⅱ ischemic preconditioning(IPC);groupⅢH89(PKA inhibitor);group Ⅳ PDTC(NF-κB inhibitor)and group Ⅴ db-cAMP.The experiment started after 10 min stabilization.The isolated hearts were tinct perfuzed for 30 min.followed by 60 min ischemia and 30 min leperfusion in group I/R(Ⅰ).Group IPC(Ⅱ)w88 subjected to 3 episodes of 5 min ischemia at 5 min intervals before I/R.Group Ⅲ and Ⅳ received 5 min perfnsion withH89 10 μmol/L and PDTC 100 μmol/L 3 times at 5 min intervals respectively before I/R.Group Ⅴ was peffnsed with db-cAMP 200 μmol/L for 30 min before I/R.Left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP)and ± dp/dtu were measured at stabilization period and 10, 20, 30 rain of reperfusion. Coronary flow (CF) was measured at stabilization period and 30 min of reperfusion and activities of LDH and creafinc kinase (CK) in the coronary effluent were determined. The myocardial specimens were obtained at 30 rain of reperfusion for determination of NF-κB-DNA binding activity (by EMSA) and expression of TNF-κ mBNA (by RT-PCR ) and p-CBEB (Ser133) (by Western blot). Results Compared with 1/R group, NF-κB-DNA binding activity and TNF-α mRNA expression were significandy decreased, ± dp/dt and CF were significandy increased, CK and LHD activities in the coronary effluent were significantly decreased in group IPC and db-cAMP (group Ⅱ , Ⅴ ) and p-CREB (Ser133) expression was significantly increased in group IPC, PDTC and db-cAMP (group Ⅱ , Ⅳ,Ⅴ ). Compared with IPC group, NF-κB-DNA binding activity and TNF-α mBNA expression were significantly increased, ± dp/dtmax, LVDP and CF were significantly decreased, CK and LDH activities were significantly increased in group H89 and PDTC (group Ⅲ, Ⅳ ) and p-CREB (Ser133) expression was significantly decreased in group H89(group Ⅲ ). Conclusion lschemic preconditioning can attenuate I/R injury in isolated hearts by inhibition of NF-κB-DNA binding activity via cAMP-PKA signal transduction pathway which reduces gene transcription of inflammatory cytokine.

Objective To study the low dose hyper-radiosensitivity in human lung cancer cell line A549,and its possible mechanisms.Methods Exponentially growing A549 cells were irradiated with 60Co γ-rays at doses of 0-2 Gy.Together with flow cytometry for precise cell sorting,cell survival fraction was measured by mean of conventional colony-formation assay.ATM1981 Ser-P protein expression was examined by Western blot.Apoptosis was identified by Hoechst 33258 fluorescent staining,and Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide staining flow cytometry.Cell cycle distribution was observed by flow cytometry.Results There was an excessive cell killing per unit dose when the doses were below about 0.3 Gy,and the cells exhibited more resistant response at the doses between 0.3 and 0.5 Gy,the cell survival fraction was decreased as the doses over 0.5 Gy.The expression of ATM1981Ser-P protein was first observed at 0.2 Gy,followed by an increase over 0.2 Gy,and reached the peak at 0.5 Gy(compared with 0.2 Gy group,t=7.96,P<0.05),with no further increase as the doses at 1.0 and 2.0 Gy(t=0.69,0.55,P>0.05).24 hours after irradiation,part cells presented the characteristic morpholos4cal change of apoptosis,and the apoptosis curve was coincident with the dose-survival curve.Compared with the control group,the cell cycle had no change post-irradiation to 0.1 and 0.2 Gy.G2/M phase arrest was manifested at 6 and 12 hours post-irradiation to 0.3,0.4 and 0.5 Gy(t=2.87,2.88,4.92 and 3.70,3.12,8.11,P<0.05),and the ratio of G2/M phase was decreased at 24 hours post-irradiation(t=3.87,4.77,3.01,P<0.05).Conclusions A549 cells displays the phenomenon of hyper-radiosensitivity(HRS)/induced radioresistance(IRR).The model of cell death induced by low dose irradiation is mainly apoptosis.The activity of ATM and cell cycle change might play an important role in HRS/IRR.

The traditional view of bacterial life cycle consists of four phases,namely,lag phase,exponential or logarithmic phase,stationary phase and death phase.Although the standard textbook description of the bacterial life cycle has been useful,might not always provide us the whole visage of bacteria growth process.Recently,it has demonstrated that bacterial life cycle is expanded to five phases.It is a significant different growth phase after death phase:long-term stationary phase,which may be more akin to the nature environment in which microorganisms exist.Microbial cells survive due to mutating,and forming growth advantage during stationary phase (GASP) phenotype in this phase.It is very important for further study the microorganisms in this phase.

Keratoacanthoma ( KA) is an epithelial neoplasm occurring in sun -exposed skin of the elder-ly.Two striking features of KA are its clinical behavior with spontaneous regression after rapid growth and its nos -ological position on the border between benignity and malignancy .The regression of KA may be associated with the hair follicle cycle,apoptosis and immune function of organism .This article summarizes physiological mecha-nisms such as Wnt/retinoic acid signalling cross -talk,the function of p53,bcl-2,bcl-xL and bak in apopto-sis,and the mechanism of action of several immune -related cells,that drives KA regression .It can provide theo-retical basis for us to select the method as well as time of the treatment in KA .

Objective To explore the relationship between psychological problems in middle school students and parental rearing behaviors.Methods It was a cross-sectional study.By means of cluster sampling,2700 students selected from 7 middle schools in Nanning were investigated with Symptom Check List-90(SCL-90),the Egna Minnen Barndoms Uppfostran(EMBU) scale and the General Information Questionnair.Results The prevalence of psychological problems was 14.5%.Correlation analysis showed that the total score and factor-scores of SCL-90 had positive correlation with parental punishment,rejection,preference and overprotection.The total score and factor-scores of SCL-90 was negatively related to parental emotional concern.Conclusions Psychological problems in middle school students are closely related to parental rearing behaviors,and incorrect parental rearing behavior is one risk factor of psychological problems in the middle school students.

OBJECTIVETo observe the airway inflammatory change in asthmatic rats complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to assess the intervention effects of Chinese herbs for reinforcing Shen and supplementing qi (CH) on it.
METHODSEighty-four Norway rats were randomized into 7 groups, the normal control group (A), the COPD model group (B), the asthma model group (C), the combined COPD and the asthma model group (D), and the three CH treated groups (E, F and G, combined model rats administered by low-, moderate- and high- dose CH, respectively), 12 rats in each group. Changes of symptoms, pathologic changes of the lung tissue, airway reactivity, and serum levels of interleukin-4, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 (IL-4, IL-6, and IL-8) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in rats were observed.
RESULTSSymptoms were alleviated in the three CH treated groups. Similar pathological features were shown in group B and D, showing inflammatory cell, mainly lymphocyte, infiltration in bronchial and lung tissues, with cilia denudation, partial alveolar wall rupture, alveolar cavity expansion, and accompanied with evident eosinophilic infiltration. These inflammatory exudation in group E-G was alleviated, while in group C, it developed showing a trend similar to that in group D. Airway resistance raised along with the concentration of Mch used. In group D, the serum level of IL-4 was higher than that in group B, and level of INF-gamma was lower than that in group A, B and C (all P <0.05). CH showed a lowering effect on serum levels of IL-4 and -8, and a dose-dependent rising effect on IFN-gamma.
CONCLUSIONSIL- 4 significantly increased and INF-gamma decreased in rat model of combined COPD and asthma, its mechanism is similar to that of Th1/Th2 imbalance in asthma. Chinese herbs for reinforcing Shen and supplementing qi could improve the symptoms and inhibit the airway inflammation in the combined COPD and asthma model rats, its mechanism might be related with the alleviation of TH1/TH2 imbalance.
