Objective To discuss the relationship between the expression of programmed death-1 (PD-1) in liver with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and pathological diagnosis in chronic hepatitis B.Methods 156 CHB patients treated in our hospital of infectious diseases department were recruited as an observation group. Based on the principle of informed voluntary and approved by the ethics committee, liver biopsy was adopted to make clear liver tissue pathology. According to TCM classification criteria, CHB patients were divided into five groups: a blood stasis group, a damp heat resistance group, a liver and spleen deficiency group, a liver and kidney yin deficiency group, and a spleen and kidney yang deficiency group. In the same period, 12 healthy persons were recruited as a control group. The PD-1 expression was detected with immunohistochemical SP method, and the correlation between expression of PD-1 in liver tissue and TCM syndrome type and liver pathology was analyzed.Results Different degrees of positive cell expression were found in the liver tissue. With the liver inflammation and fibrosis severity, the number of PD-1 positive cells also increased. The PD-1 expression levels varied with mild, moderate, and severe CHB patients (0.24 ± 0.03, 0.36 ± 0.05 vs. 0.43 ± 0.05) , which were statistically significant (P<0.05) . PD-1 expression levels also varied among different TCM type CHB patients, of which, PD-1 expression of blood stasis type was the highest (0.35 ± 0.04), while the liver and spleen deficiency type was the lowest (0.23 ± 0.03).Conclusion The expression levels of PD-1 has a certain correlation with the patients illness, chronic mechanism, and TCM syndromes. CHB patients can be treated by controlling the expression of PD-1.

Objective To investigate whether there is an inhibition of the human lung cancer cell line A549 induced by the culture supernatant of Toxoplasma gondii in vitro and the mechanism of the inhibition. Methods A549 cells 5 x 10~4mL~(-1) were cultured and harvested. The cells were treated for different hours with different concentrations of Toxoplasma gondii culture supernatant (the concentrations of tachyzoites were 4×10~7mL~(-1), 8 × 10~7mL~(-1), 16 ×10~7mL~(-1) respectively). Growth inhibition rate was measured with the MTT method; Cell cycle was checked with flow cytometer. Western blot was used to detect the level of cyclinBl and cdc2 of cells. Results The culture supernatants of Toxoplasma gondii inhibited proliferation of A549 cells in a time-dose dependent manner. Cell cycle was significantly stopped at G_2/M phase by the culture supernatants with FCM technology. The culture supernatant of Toxoplasma gondii reduced the expressions of gene cyclinBl and cdc2 of A549 cells. Conclusion The culture supernatant of Toxoplasma gondii may inhibit A549 cell and arrest the cell cycle of A549 cells mainly by regulating the expression of gene cyclinBl and cdc2.

Objective To explore the optimization and standardization of imaging parameters for 16-slice spiral CT angiography in intracranial and cervical arteries. Methods Sixty patients were randomly divided into three groups, and the automatic bolus tracking thresholds of 100, 150 and 180 HU in the descending aorta were used respectively. The CT values of artery and vein among three groups were compared. Other 40 patients were randomly divided into A and B group and underwent CTA with different slice thickness and pitch, and the difference in arterial display were compared. Results The carotid and intracranial arteries in all three groups were well displayed. No statistical difference was found in enhancement CT values of three points of common carotid artery and internal carotid artery among three groups (P>0.05), while the differences of CT values in same level vein among three groups were significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the average score of display degree between group A and B. Conclusion Imaging parameters for 16-slice spiral CT angiography in intracranial and cervical arteries are recommended as follows:100 HU (threshold), 120 kV, 280 mA, 1.25 mm (thickness), 1.375:1 (pitch), 0.5 s/r and 16×0.625 mm (effective thickness).

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the formulation of Mirabegron sustained-release tablets. METHODS:Using polyethylene oxide(PEO)and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose(HPMC K4M)as the sustained release matrix,Mirabegron sustained-release tab-lets were prepared by powder direct compression technology. Using 1,3,5,7 h accumulative release rate as indexes,the amounts of PEO,HPMC K4M and OPADRY? were optimized by composite design-response surface method,and then validated. Accumula-tive release rates of sustained-release tablet and original tablet (MyrbetriqTM) were compared in different pH mediums (water,pH 1.0 simulated gastric fluid,pH 4.5 acetate buffer solution,pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution) at different rotation rates (100,50 r/min),and similiar factor f2 was calculated to fit drug release model of sustained-release tablet. RESULTS:In the optimized firmu-lation each Mirabegron sustained-release tablet contained mirabegron 25 mg,PEO 108.02 mg,HPMC K4M 21.69 mg,OPADRY? 2.27%. Relative error of accumulative release rates at 1,3,5,7 h to predicted value were 4.78%,3.48%,0.69% and -1.41%, respectively. f2 of release curves of sustained-release tablet and original tablet were higher than 65 in different pH medium at differ-ent rotation rates. The drug release of sustained-release tablet was fitted to zero-order release equation. CONCLUSIONS:Mirabe-gron sustained-release tablet by optimized technology is similar to original tablet in drug release behavior.
