BACKGROUND:Studies have reported that underin vitro experimental environment, antisense endothelin nucleic acid nanometer carrier can express target nucleic acid and produce RNA interference effect after enfolding by 12-alkylated chitosan nanoparticles, which can effectively inhibit the excessive generation of endothelin from inflammatory cytokines induced by alergen. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of 12-alkylated chitosan nanoparticles enfolding antisense endothelin converting enzyme RNA expression plasmid on airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic mouse models. METHODS: Forty Balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: control, chitosan nanoparticles, normal saline and plasmid groups. Mice in the chitosan nanoparticles, normal saline and plasmid groups were subjected to sensitization by an intraperitoneal injection with ovalbumin (0, 14 days) and motivation by aerosol inhalation of ovalbumin (24, 25, 26 days) to induce asthma models. Mice in the control group were subjected to sensitization and motivation by the perfusion of normal saline. At 24hours before the first excitation, mice in the control, chitosan nanoparticles, normal saline and plasmid groups were perfused with normal salinevia airway, 12-alkylated chitosan nanoparticles, normal saline and antisense endothelin converting enzyme RNA. At 48 hours after the last excitation, the airway reactivity of mice was detected. After 28 days, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytology, lung histopathology, cytokines in spleen cel culture supernatant were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the total number of plasmid cels, the percentage of eosinophils, eosinophil absolute counts, interleukin-4 levels, endothelin levels and airway hyperresponsiveness of mice in chitosan nanoparticles, normal saline and plasmid groups were increased (P < 0.05), and the lung inflammation was more severe. These indicators in the chitosan nanoparticles group were al lower than those in the normal saline and plasmid groups (P < 0.05) and the degree of inflammation was lighter than that in the saline and plasmid groups. These results demonstrate that 12-alkylated chitosan nanoparticles enfolding antisense endothelin converting enzyme RNA expression plasmid can reduce the synthetic amount of asthma endothelin and inhibit airway responsiveness.

BACKGROUND:Pancreas or islet cel transplantation and stem cel transplantation bring hope to cure diabetes, but pancreas or islet transplantation appears to have a lack of donors as wel as immune rejection problems, limiting their clinical development. Therefore, stem cel transplantation therapy has become the current hotspot.
OBJECTIVE:To study the therapeutic effects of huaman telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s transplantation on diabetes mel itus in SD rats.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were transfected with PLXSN carrying hTERT. Thirty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n=6), stem cel group (n=10), hTERT transfection group (n=10), diabetes mel itus group (n=10). Except the control group, the rats were injected with stretozotocin (45 mg/kg) to make diabetes mel itus models. After modeling, rats in the stem cel group and hTERT transfection group were respectively intravenously injected with 1 mL of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s (1.5×1010/L) and 1 mL of hTERT-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s (1.5×1010/L).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 24 hours after modeling, the fasting blood-glucose level was significantly increased in the diabetes mel itus group, which was higher than the normal value (6.7 mmol/L). At 15 days after cel transplantation, the fasting blood-glucose levels were signficiantly decreased in the stem cel group and hTERT transfection group as compared with the diabetes mel itus group (P<0.05), but the body mass of rats was increased in these two group (P<0.05), especial y in the hTERT transfection group. At 45 days after cel transplantation, the fasting blood-glucose level and body mass in the stem cel group and hTERT transfection group were close to those in the control group (P>0.05), and moreover, the hTERT group had better outcomes than the stem cel group. Meanwhile, in the diabetes mel itus group, the fasting blood-glucose level was stil at a higher level, and the body mass decreased continously. These findings suggest that hTERT-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation is effective for treatment of diabetes mel itus in rats.

Biology-related disciplines in medical school of comprehensive university are cur-rently confronted with some difficulties, including unclear position and indistinguishable characteris-tics. In this paper, we proposed that biology-related disciplines in medical school of comprehensive university should center on disease research, emphasize medical feature and give full play to its tech-nical advantage thus to provide technical support for basic medicine and clinical medicine. Mean-while, sources of multiple disciplines should be effectively integrated by breaking through the limitation of discipline and administrative system. An interdisciplinary molecular medicine platform was built up for researching and teaching.

Therapies targeting endocrine receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 have become important treat-ment modes for patients with hormone receptor breast cancer. Despite the availability of these options, however, development of prima-ry or secondary drug resistance and subsequent disease progression in patients with advanced disease continue to occur. Mammalian tar-get of rapamycin (mTOR), a key regulator of cell growth and proliferation, has been implicated in the induction of cellular processes leading to the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. Recent studies have suggested that overactivation of the mTOR pathway may be in-volved in the development of endocrine resistance. Interrupting this signaling cascade may alleviate such resistance and help restore drug sensitivity. A number of agents targeting the mTOR pathway have shown potent anti-tumorigenic effects in vitro, and several agents show great potential for treating breast cancer patients. Many clinical studies have shown that combining endocrine therapy with mTOR inhibitors could significantly increase the survival rate of breast cancer patients. In this study, we focus on recent research prog-ress on mTOR and its inhibitors in endocrine therapy resistance in breast cancer.

Ginsenoside is the main component of antitumor effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Ginseng. Clinical pharmacological studies have shown that Ginsenoside Rb1 can inhibit P-gp which can lead to efflux of drugs, enhance the sensitivity of cells to drugs, reduce the multidrug resistance of the tumor cell, and maintain the immune function of the body to tumor cells. Ginsenoside Rg3 can impact tumor cell protein expression, play a role in cell division, induce tumor cell apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth of blood vessels. Ginsenoside Rh2 may play an antitumor effect by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and metastasis, inducing tumor cell apoptosis. This article ex-plained the antitumor effects and mechanism of Ginsenoside Rb1, Rg3, Rh2 in order to provide theoretical evidences for the clinical development and application.

Objectives: To study the correlation between the dynamic expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) around hematoma and the blood-brain barrier permeability after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats. Methods: Forty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into sham-operation group, and groups of 6 hours, 12 hours, 1, 3, 7 and 14 days (n=6 in each group) after intracerebral hemorrhage. The intracerebral hemorrhage model in rats was established by injecting autologous arterial blood into caudate nucleus. Immunohistochemical method and Evans blue method were used respectively to detect the dynamic changes of AQP-4 around hematoma and the blood-brain barrier permeability in different time periods after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats. Results: (1) The expression of AQP-4 around hematoma increased gradually 12 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage, it increased significantly at day 1 and reached a maximum at day 3. It was slightly higher than normal level at day 7 and almost returned to normal at day 14 (P
