Objectives: Use antisense VEGF to reduce the immunosuppression induced by tumor and enhance the antithumor effect of IL-2. Methods: After the MMT45.Li murine liver cancer cells were modified with antisense VEGF alone, or antisense VEGF combined with IL-2 gene, the tumorigenesis of modified MM45T.Li was studied. The apoptosis of cancer cell induced by antisense VEGF and IL-2 gene in vivo was also studied. The tumors were cryosmeared 3 weeks after the mice bearing tumor were treated correspondingly with Ad-antiVEGF or Ad-Il-2 or Ad-antiVEGF/IL-2 or Ad-lacZ, the immunohistochemical analysis of CD4 + , CD8 + was performed.Results: The tumorigenesis of MM45T. Li was reduced by antisense VEGF, and the number of CD4 + , CD8 + cell was increased in tumor tissue, and the immunosupression was also reduced; At the same time antisense VEGF also enhanced the antithumor effect of IL-2 gene.Conclusions: Antisense VEGF not only can inhibit the neovascularization, but also can reduce the immunosupression induced by tumor, and improve lymphocyte infiltration toward tumor site;when it was combined with Il-2,anti VEGF can enhance the antitumor effect greatly.

Objective To investigate the vaginal flora characteristics,clinical symptoms and signs of lactating women 6-8 weeks after delivery and the influence factors.Methods Two hundred and twenty-three puerpera 6-8 weeks after delivery who went to outpatient department of Peking University First Hospital for postpartum review (study group) and 200 normal non-pregnant women (control group) from April to May,2010 were enrolled into this study.All in study group were evaluated by a questionnaire regarding their symptoms,sexual behavior,breast-feeding situation and delivery mode.Vaginal secretions from upper 1/3 of vagina were collected and evaluated by vaginal microbial evaluation system.Bacterial vaginosis (BV) was diagnosed if Nugent score ≥ 7.Enumeration data between groups was compared by t test,and quantitative data by Chi-square test.Results The density of vaginal flora in study group was different from that of control group (x2 =96.302,P<0.001) ; so did the flora diversity of two groups (x2 =69.871,P<0.001).There was no difference between mean age of study group [(30.5 ± 3.9) years] and control group [(30.9 ± 2.4)years],P>0.05.The cesarean section rate was 52.7% (89/169),13 women (7.7%) had began their sexual behavior before interview,116 women (70.3%) took breast-feeding.Dominant bacteria in the vagina of lactating women were Gram-positive cocci (69/175,39.4%) and Gram-positive bacillus (54/175, 30.9%), which was different from control group (Gram-positive bacillus,180/189,95.2%),P<0.001.The vaginal pH of study group was 5.0±0.5,which was higher than that (<4.5) of control group.In study group,incidence of lower hydrogen peroxide level of vagina was 84.3 % (177/210) ; positive rate of sialidase was 6.7 % (14/210) ; positive rate of leukocyte esterase was 91.0% (191/210).A large number of postpartum women had an abnormal Nugent score,most of them showed a state of intermediate BV (132/195,67.7%) or BV (8/195,4.1%),while a few patients had symptoms of BV (23.5%,33/140).Sexual behavior had no significant effect on postpartum vaginal flora.The proportion of abnormal vaginal flora in breast feeding mothers (74.1 %,86/116) was significantly higher than that (57.1%,28/49) in artificial feeding mothers,P=0.034.Delivery mode also affected postpartum vaginal flora.Women underwent cesarean section were more susceptible to abnormal vaginal flora (77.5%,69/89) than those underwent vaginal delivery (57.5%,46/80),x2 =7.726,P=0.005.Conclusions Vaginal flora of postpartum women 6-8 weeks after delivery had significant difference from that of nonpregnant women.The incidence of asymptomatic abnormal vaginal flora was high.Breastfeeding and delivery mode are influence factors of abnormal vaginal flora.

AIM To investigate the cardiovascular activity of new compound V03(CPU228) derived from dofetilide. METHODS Arrhythmias was induced by the occlusion and reperfusion of left anterior descending coronary artery. The effects of CPU228 and dofetilide on QT interval and inducing Tdp were compared in anesthetized rabbits during stimulation with methoxamine. The contractions of thoracic aortic rings induced by KCl (rat) and Phe (guinea pig) in Ca 2+-free and calcium recovered K-H solution was studied to determinate the activity of CPU228 on intracellular calcium mobilization and calcium entry. RESULTS ① CPU228 suppressed the maximal arrhythmia scores, decreased the AUC of arrhythmia score( reduced the duration of VF and VT significantly). PU228 is more potent than dofetilide.②The potency of CPU228 of inducing Tdp is significantly weaker than that of dofetilide.③There were significantly inhibitions of CPU228 on the contractions of aortic rings induced by KCl and Phe in Ca 2+-free solution and dofetilide only had a inhibition on the former. CPU228 inhibited contractions of aortic ring by adding calcium which influx via L-type calcium channel while dofetilide had no effects on these. CONCLUSION CPU228 has stronger inhibition on coronary occlusion and reperfusion arrhythmia and lower potency of inducing Tdp than dofetilide. All the results suggest that CPU228 is a nonselective I Kr-blocker combined with a blockade on the L-type Ca 2+ channel and?adrenergic receptor.

The kinetics of batch and fed-batch cultures of recombinant Escherichia coli to produce humanlike collagen were investigated. Through examining the density of substrate and the amount of mushrooms and the density of products during the process of fermenting, a set of kinetic models are set up. The influence of cell without plasmid was considered. The results show that the kinetic model may well simulate the fermenting process.

10.Expression and gene mutation of phospho-platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha and C-kit in gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2008;11(1):80-83
OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of phospho-platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (P-PDGFR-alpha) in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGIST) and its clinical significance.
METHODSExpression of P-PDGFR-alpha in 28 samples of positive CD117 and 13 samples of negative CD117 was detected by Envision immunohistochemical staining. Direct PCR sequencing was used to investigate the mutation status of c-kit gene exons 9, 11, 13, 17 and PDGFR-alpha gene exons 12 and 18.
RESULTSThe positive rate of P-PDGFR-alpha expression in GISTs with negative CD117 was 69.2%, which was significantly higher than that in GISTs with positive CD117 (7.1%, P<0.05). The positive rates of P-PDGFR-alpha expression in epithelioid GISTs(27.3%) and mixed GIST(63.3%) were both significantly higher than that in fusiform GISTs (9%, P<0.05). The positive rate of CD117 expression in fusiform GISTs (53.6%)was significantly higher than that in epithelioid GISTs (7.1%) and mixed GISTs(39.3%, P<0.05). C-kit gene mutation was found in 19 GIST cases with positive CD117. C-kit gene mutation was found in 19 of 28 GIST patients with positive CD117, among them, mutation of exon 11 occurred in 15 cases and exon 13 in 4 cases. No C-kit gene mutation was seen in 13 GIST patients with negative CD117. PDGFR-alpha gene mutation was found in 4 of 11 GIST cases with positive P-PDGFR-alpha and all occurred in exon 18.
CONCLUSIONSExamination of P-PDGFR-alpha expression may provide reliable evidence for the further improvement of pathological diagnosis,pathological typing and treatment for GISTs with negative CD117. Phosphorylated protein induced by PDGFR-alpha mutation may be associated with the important alternative molecular mechanism and the biological behavior of GIST development.
