Objective:To study the change of immunological response and cell proliferation in breast tissues augmented by polyacrylamide hydrogel injection(PHI).Methods:The expression of CD68,CD25 and PCNA in 20 breast tissues with indurations,12 without indurations after breast augmentation by PHI,and 10 normal breast tissues was examined by immunohistochemistry P-V6000; analysis was also done by H-E staining.Results:Hyperplasia of fibrous tissue and infiltration of inflammatory cells and macrophages were found in the breast and adjacent tissues 3-8 years after PHI.Positive cells of CD68,CD25 and PCNA hardly existed in the normal tissues,but the breast tissues around the polyacrylamide hydrogel had many positive cells of CD68 and PCNA,especially in cases with indurations;there were significant differences between the 3 groups(P

BACKGROUND:Intervention using known inflammatory transmitters has limitations on relieving secondary spinal cord injury. Interleukin-17 is an important proinflammatory cytokine, and is gradual y paid attention in the pathogenesis of central nervous system diseases.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the altered rule of interleukin-17 mRNA and protein in a rat model of acute spinal cord injury.
METHODS:Healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to two groups. In the model group, rats were made into complete spinal cord transaction models. In the sham surgery group, only spinal dura mater was opened, but parenchyma was not injured. Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan locomotor rating scale was used to observe the effects of acute spinal cord injury on limb motor function of rats. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe histopathological changes at various time points after spinal cord injury. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to detect interleukin-17 mRNA and protein levels in each group at various time points after spinal cord injury.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan locomotor rating scale:Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan scores were 20 to 21 in the sham surgery group. Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan scores were 0 at 1 and 2 days after spinal cord injury. At 7 days, Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan scores were 0 to 3 (P<0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining results revealed that compared with the sham surgery group, inflammatory cel infiltration, neuronal and glial cel swel ing, and a reduced number of neuronal processes were observed at 6 hours after spinal cord injury. Gray matter and white matter were loose and vacuolated at 12 hours. Gliocyte proliferation and tissue fibrosis were apparent at 7 days. Real-time PCR results demonstrated that interleukin-17 mRNA appeared at 3 hours, and peaked at 6 hours (P<0.01), and then decreased. Interleukin-17 mRNA levels were similar to the sham surgery group at 7 days. Western blotting results revealed that interleukin-17 expression began to increase at 6 hours and peaked at 12 hours (P<0.05), and then reduced, and reached the levels in the sham surgery group at 7 days. Results indicated that tissue injury was most severe at 12 hours, and showed a time consistency with interleukin-17 expression. It is inferred that interleukin-17 is possibly involved in the process of secondary inflammatory reaction of spinal cord.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Flos Daturae alkaloids (FDA) on TGF-beta1-1uuuu;U epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of human pulmonary adenocarcinoma A549 cells.

METHODSA549 cells in vitro cultured were randomly divided into 5 groups, i.e., the blank control group, the TGF-beta1 group, the low dose FDA group, the medium dose FDA group, and the high dose FDA group. The morphologies of A549 cells were observed. Expressions of cytokeratin (CK)-19 and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) were detected by Western blot and real-time PCR at 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively.

RESULTSA549 cells in the TGF-beta1, group turned from cobblestone to spindle shape gradually. Those in low, medium and high dose FDA groups showed similar shapes to those of the TGF-beta1 group. There was no statistical difference in the morphology of A549 cells among the 3 dose FDA groups (P > 0.05). Western blot showed that, when compared with the blank control group, the expression of CK-19 was down-regulated, but the expression of alpha-SMA was up-regulated in the TGF-beta1 group (P < 0.01). Compared with the TGF-beta1, group, the expression of CK-19 was up-regulated, but the expression of alpha-SMA was suppressed in low, medium and high dose FDA groups (P < 0.01). The CK-19 expression obviously increased, but the alpha-SMA expression was suppressed in high dose FDA group at 72 h (P < 0.01). Real-time PCR results showed, as compared with the TGF-beta1 group, the mRNA expression of CK-19 was increased, but the mRNA expression of alpha-SMA was reduced in low, medium and high dose FDA groups (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSFDA had no effect on EMT morphological changes of TGF-beta1 induced A549 cells. FDA could reverse characteristic markers of A549 cells during EMT to some extent, such as expressions of CK-19 and alpha-SMA. The expression of CK-19 (as the epithelium marker) increased and the expression of alpha-SMA (as the mesenchymal marker) was reduced. Besides, they were most obviously seen in the high dose FDA group at 72 h in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
