Background and purpose:Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) is a potent angiogenic mediator and angiogenesis has important effects on tumor growth and metastasis.The present study was to investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphism of VEGF and heredity risk factor of lung cancer.Methods:VEGF genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP method in 171 patients with lung cancer and 172 healthy controls.Software PHASE 1.0 was used to construct the haplotypes of every individual.Unconditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the statistical association of genotypes or haplotypes in the two groups adjusted by gender and age. Results:Individuals with at least one-2578A allele had a significantly decreased risk of lung cancer compared with those carrying-2578CC genotype.When the analyses were stratified by gender,the combined-2578 CA and AA genotype,were associated with a considerably reduced risk of lung cancer(P=0.001,OR=0.303,95%CI=0.15 3-0.601).The distribution of the two haplotypes(936C/-2578C and 936C/-2578A) among overall lung cancer cases was significantly different from that among the controls(P=0.016,0R=0.317,95%CI=0.124-0.809 and P=0.018,OR=0.547, 95%CI=0.331-0.903).When the cases were categorized by tumor histology,the distribution of C-C haplotype in the adenocarcinoma(AC) group was associated with a substantially lowered risk of AC(P=0.004,0R=0.237,95%CI=0.090- 0.627),compared with the reference haplotypes.Conclusion:VEGF polymorphism may be a critical risk for the genetic risk factor to lung cancer.

Objective　To investigate the role of β-endorphin (β-EP) in conA-induced spleen cell proliferation after traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Methods　①Wistar rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock were used and killed 0, 1, 3, 6,12 and 24 h after traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Plasma specimens were collected and β-EP levels in plasma were detected. Rats with sham-operation served as the control. ②Spleen cells isolated from normal rats were cultured in shock plasma (group Ⅰ), inactivated shock plasma (group Ⅱ) and shock plasma+β-EP antiserum (group Ⅲ) respectively. Con A-induced spleen cell proliferation was observed. Results　①The plasma β-EP level was elevated significantly immediately after shock, and reached the peak 1 h later, then showed a deceasing tendency and restored to the level as before shock at 24 h. ②Shock plasma remarkedly suppressed spleen cell response to the mitogen conA (P<0.01) compared with control; ConA-induced spleen cell proliferative function in group Ⅱ was significantly increased than that in group Ⅰ (P<0.01), so did in group Ⅲ, which still lower than in control. Conclusion　The significantly elevated β-EP in the plasma after hemorrhagic shock might play an important role in inhibiting the proliferation of spleen cells.

The expression of Fas ligand (FasL) on the membrane of many kinds of leukemia or solid tumor cells played an important role in the immune escape of tumor cells. This study was aimed to know if the soluble Fas (sFas), expressed by adenovirus, could block the immune escape of tumor cells by FasL pathway. The two recombinant adenoviral vectors, AdsFas with murine soluble Fas gene and AdEGFP with enhanced GFP protein gene, were constructed by homologous recombination between two plasmids in Escherichia coli with the AdEasy adenovirus vector system. The viruses were propagated and purified by two times ultracentrifugation. Their titres were detected by plaque assays. The expressed protein was evaluated by Western blot analysis. Then the tumor EL4 cells were infected with AdsFas and AdEGFP respectively. The apoptosis ratio of the target cells-YAC-1 cells induced by EL4 cells was respectively detected by (3)H-thymidine ((3)H-TdR) labeling. The results showed that the recombinant adenoviral vectors AdsFas and AdEGFP were successfully obtained. The titres of viruses purified by two times ultracentrifugation were up to 10(11) pfu/ml by plaque assays. The sFas protein was highly expressed in the target cells by Western blot analysis. After the EL4 cells were transfected with the adenoviruses AdsFas, the apoptosis rate of YAC-1 cells in the sFas transfection group (respectively 6%, 7% and 9% when the effector:target (E:T) was 3:1, 10:1 and 30:1) was obviously lower than that in the control group (respectively 28%, 37% and 45%), P < 0.01. But when the EL4 cells were transfected with AdEGFP, the apoptosis rate of YAC-1 cells (respectively 30%, 36% and 48%) was similar to the control group, P > 0.05. In conclusion, the transfer of sFas by adenovirus could inhibit the apoptosis of Fas(+) cells-YAC-1 cells induced by tumor EL4 cells. It showed that the transduction of sFas could block the effect of the immune escape of EL4 cells through FasL in vitro. These results thus provide a new direction to find a way to treat tumors.

Pseudoallergic reactions of Qingkailing injection (QKLI) was assessed by vascular hyperpermeability which were indicated by ear blue staining in ICR mice after single intravenous injection of QKLI mixed with Evans blue (EB) and skin blue spot formation in SD rats after intradermal injection of QKLI and intravenous injection of EB. In addition, QKLI-induced histamine, VEGF, TNF-alpha release was measured after ICR mice received the single dosing of QKLI iv. The mild vascular hyperpermeability characterized by ear blue staining could be observed in mice after intravenous injection of QKLI and EB. Intracutaneous injection of 50 micro L of test solution containing QKLI (25,50 microL) in rat back skin caused obvious local vascular hyperpermeability at the injection sites so as to result the larger diameters of blue spots than that in negative control group (P <0. 01). QKLI induced a significant increase of VEGF and a slight elevation of histamine in mice after intravenous administration, while TNF-alpha showed no change after QKLI iv. The results in this study indicated that both intravenous injection and intracutanous injection of QKLI could induce vascular hyperpemeability so as to cause pseudoallergic reaction in mice and rats. QKLI-induced pseudoallergic reaction may be associated with the release of histamine and VEGF.
