OBJECTIVETo investigate extracellular splitting pattern of mitochondria and the depressant effects of CsA on the process and explore the mechanism of post-traumatic SIRS and its therapeutic strategy.
METHODSTen male SD rats with 60 to 70 days age and 240 to 280 g weight were used for mitochondrial isolation. Freshly isolated mitochondria were randomly divided into two groups, which were cultured in blood plasma with or without CsA respectively for 8 h. COX and MDH were assayed by ELISA every 30 min. Meanwhile, Rat macrophage cell line NR8383 were treated as follows, control (group A): cultivation with normal medium; NR8383+CsA co-culture group (group B): culture medium was supplemented with CsA of 10 mmol/L; NR8383+intact mitochondria co-culture group (group C): culture medium was supplemented with intact mitochondria (mtDNA=5 g/ml); NR8383+intact mitochondria+CsA co-culture group (group D): culture medium was supplemented with intact mitochondria (mtDNA=5 μg/ml)and CsA of 10 mmol/L; NR8383+disrupted mitochondria co-culture group (group E): culture medium was supplemented with disrupted mitochondria (mtDNA=5 μg/ml); NR8383+disrupted mitochondria+CsA co-culture group (group F): culture medium was supplemented with disrupted mitochondria (mtDNA=5 μg/ml)and CsA of 10 mmol/L. TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations in supernatant were assessed at 1, 3, 5 h after culture.
RESULTSIn the mitochondria plasma cultures, MDH and COX levels were increased with the time and peaked at about 3 h and 3.5 h; CsA can delay the appearance of peak to 4.5 h. Among different treated groups,there was no significant difference in TNF-α and IL-6 between group A and group B; there was significant difference in TNF-α and IL-6 other groups. After 1 h culture, compared with group C, no significant difference of TNF-α and IL-6 was observed in group D, while TNF-α and IL-6 were significant higher in group E; after 3 h culture, compared with group C, TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly lower in group D, while TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly higher in group E; after 5 h culture, compared with group C, TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly lower in group D, while no significant difference of TNF-α and IL-6 were observed in group E. At each time point, there was no significant difference in TNF-α and IL-6 between group F and group E.
CONCLUSIONMitochondria can split in serum with time, which will further activate macrophages. CsA has depressant effect to mitochondrial splitting on the process and will therefore inhibit the activation of macrophages.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects and mechanisms of ascorbic acid (AA) and sodium selenite (SS) on growth inhibition and redifferentiation in human gastric cancer cells.
METHODSIn the present study, trypan blue dye exclusion method was used to determine the cell growth curve and mitotic index, cell electrophoresis and colonogenic potential were used as the indexes of redifferentiation. In order to find out the mechanisms of redifferentiation, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT) were assayed, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and H2O2 were evaluated.
RESULTSAfter treatment with AA 3 mol/L + SS 2 mu mol/L, the growth rate and mitotic index of human gastric cancer cells (MGc-803) decreased remarkably. The indexes related with cell malignancy were alleviated. For example, cell surface charge was obviously decreased, the electrophoresis rate was dropped from 2.21 to 1.15 mu m.s-1.V-1.cm-1. The indexes related with cell redifferentiation were promoted. For example, the colonogenic potential was decreased to 93.5%. These results indicated that redifferentiation of human gastric cancer cells was successfully induced by AA + SS. The activities of SOD and GPX were significantly higher, while the activity of CAT was slower in treated group than that in the control. The content of MDA was slightly decreased, GSH was sharply decreased, and H2O2 content was dramatically increased.
CONCLUSIONThese results indicated that combination of ascorbic acid and sodium selenite may induce the redifferentiation of human gastric cancer cells and inhibit cell growth by virtue of enhancing the activities of antioxidative enzymes and inducing the formation of H2O2, and altering the cell redox status. Combination of ascorbic acid and sodium selenite may be a potent anticancer agent for human gastric cancer.

Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) E2 protein eukaryotic expression plasmid pVAXE2 was constructed. The plasmid pVAXE2 was transformed into Salmonella choleraesuis C500 (S. C500) attenuated vaccine strain by electroporation to generate Salmonella choleraesuis engineering strain S. C500/pVAXE2. The characterization of S. C500/pVAXE2 in morphology, growth, biochemistry and serology indicated that it retained the same properties as its original strain S. C500 with exception of kanamycin resistance originated from the plasmid pVAXE2. The plasmid stable in the bacteria after 15 passages. Kunming mice and rabbits were vaccinated three times at two weeks interval with S. C500/pVAXE2 in oral and intramuscular routes at the dosage of 1 x 10(8) CFU for mice and 2 x 10(9) CFU for rabbits each time. The specific antibody response against CSFV and Salmonella choleraesuis was detected by ELISA. Two weeks after the third boost the immunized rabbits were challenged with 20 ID50 of hog cholera lapinized virus (HCLV), followed by a virulent strain of Salmonella choleraesuis two week later than HCLV challenge. The results showed that all immunized mice and rabbits produced significant antibodies against CSFV and Salmonella choleraesuis, and the immunized rabbits demonstrated the effective protection against the challenge of HCLV and virulent Salmonella choleraesuis. These results indicated the potential of developing multiplex swine DNA vaccine by using this bacteria as the vector.

OBJECTIVETo study the pharmacokinetics of lipoic acid in guinea pig perilymph and to provide experimental evidence for clinical delivery methods and dose in order to compare of intravenous and intratympanic administration using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
METHODSFifty-four guinea pigs were randomly divided into two groups of intratympanic and intravenous administration, with 27 ones in each group, and the concentration of lipoic acid was 100 mg/ml. The concentration of lipoic acid in perilymph was detected respectively by HPLC at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 h after administration.
RESULTSA well linear relation of concentration of lipoic acid in perilymph was shown when the concentration was detected from 0.1 to 200 microg/ml (r(2) = 0.9996). The maximum of concentration of lipoic acid administrated via intratympanic was 171.7 microg/ml, and via intravenous was 33.7 microg/ml; the MRT of intratympanic injection was 3.7 h while intravenous injection was 2.9 h; the half life (t(1/2)) of the former was 1.8 h but the latter was 2.1 h.
CONCLUSIONSThe drug concentration could both be detected via intravenous and intratympanic injection in perilymph of guinea pig, But the effect of local administration via intratympanic was obvious superior to systemic administration.

OBJECTIVETo express endotoxin binding peptide and its mutant in E coli DH5alpha and detect the antiendotoxin activity of the purified peptides.
METHODS(1 ) E coli DH5at containing pinpointXa3-EBP and pinpointXa3-mEBP was activated by IPTG to express biotin fusion protein. The fusion proteins were purified, and then digested by factor Xa for isolation of EBP and mEBP. The target peptide was purified with affinity chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC. Sequences of 10 amino acids at N-terminal were used for identification of mEBP. (2) PBMCs were isolated from blood of normal people, and they were stimulated with 5 mg/L FITC-LPS plus 2.0,5. 0 and 12. 5 mg/L EBP or mEBP. Then the mean fluorescent intensity was detected. PBMC was also stimulated with 1 mg/L LPS plus 2.0, 5.0 and 12.5 mg/L EBP or mEBP for 5 hours for the detection of the TNF-alpha and IL-6 level in the supernatant. (3) Thirty-five Kunming mice were randomized into normal control ( n = 5, with intraperitoneal injection of 0. 2 ml isotonic saline) , model group(n = 5, with intraperitoneal injection of LPS and 20% TBSA full-thickness burns), and treatment group (n = 15, with intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg PMB or 10 mg/kg EBP or mEBP after burns). The serum contents of TNF-a and IL-6, and TNF-alpha mRNA level in hepatic tissue in each group were determined 6 hours after treatment.
RESULTS( 1 ) EBP and mEBP were obtained after Xa digestion of biotin fusion protein, with purity reaching above 98% . The sequence of 10 amino acid at N-terminal was in accord with what expected. (2) The fluorescent intensity was decreased followed by an increase in mEBP or EBP concentration. Compared with normal PMBC, IL-6 and TNF-alpha level in the supernatant were obviously lowered in 1 mg/L LPS + 12.5 mg/L EBP group and I mg/L LPS +2. O0 , 5. 0, 12. 5 mg/L mEBP groups ( P < 0.01). (3) The serum level of IL-6 and TNF-ca in the therapeutic groups were obviously lower than that in model group ( P < 0.01 ) , and the levels of these cytokines were significantly lower in 10 mg/kg mEBP group than that in 10 mg/kg EBP group ( P <0. 01) , but they were similar to that in 5 mg/kg PMB treatment group ( P >0.05). (4) Relative optical density of TNF-alpha. mRNA in control, model, 10 mg/kg mEBP, 10 mg/kg EBP and 5 mg/kg PMB groups was 0.25, 0.93, 0.51 , 0.77 and 0.43, respectively.
CONCLUSIONEndotoxin binding peptides can be obtained by procaryon expression. Both EBP and mEBP have anti-LPS activity, but mEBP is more effective.

Objective To investigate the variant distribution of voltage-gated sodium channel type Ⅰ (Nav1.1) on the different types of neurons in rat hippocampus. Methods In brain tissue sections from adult SD rats, the expression of Nav1.1 on the different types of neurons in rat hippocampus was detected and observed by immunohistochemistry (DAB staining) and laser confocal microscopy. Results Nav1.1 protein was expressed weakly on the soma of pyramidal cells and granular cells of the dentate gyrus, while strongly expressed on the scattered interneurons.Conclusions In the hippocampus of SD rats, the expression of Nav 1.1 protein on interneurons was strong, but weak on the projection neurons (pyramidal cells and granular cells of the dentate gyms). It can be inferred that on different types of neurons, different subtypes of sodium channels are predominately expressed.
