Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of many vascular disorders. Hemodynamics cause the activation of inflammatory factors in the vascular wal , resulting in dysfunction of vascular endothelial cels and vascular smooth muscle cels, activating vascular wal inflammatory cascade. Inflammatory cels, especialy macrophage infiltration and secretion of enzymes gradualy weaken the vessel wal to form aneurysm, and even cause aneurysm rupture. Therefore, inflammation plays a key role in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms.

【Objective】 To explore the therapeutic mechanismof arsenic trioxide(AS2O3),the active component of arsenolitumininhibitingtumor.【Methods】Humanlung adenocarcinoma cells(LAC) at logarithmic growth phase were culturedin vitro for 24 hours,and then were cocultured with arsenic trioxide(AS2O3) in the dosages of 0.75,1.0,1.5 and 2.0 mg/Lrespectively.Meanwhile,model control group was set up.The morphological features of LAC in different groups were observed under reverse microscope,growth-inhibitory rate of LAC was examined by methylthiazolyltetrazolium(MTT) assay,andthe expression of p53 gene was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method.【Results】AS2O3in different dosages obviously inhibited the proliferation of LACin a time-effect manner,and markedly increased the expression of p53 gene(P

Purpose The aim is to prepare the extract of immunocompetent cell proliferation from human placenta and to try to find out a suitable method of preserving the extract.Methods The extract was mainly prepared by heat-treating placenta homogenated fluid. Then the activity to stimulate murine splenic lymphocyte proliferation in vitro was done with MTT , exposing the extract to radioisotope 60 Co.Results The content of protein was 2~3mg per gram placenta measured by Lowry′s Method.The rate to promote cell proliferation was more than 80 percent.The activity lasted a few months after being exposed to radioisotope.Conclusion The extract prepared by heat-treating not only had high activity, but also had the unique method and good repeatability.This prepared extract as a kind of stable,reliable and remarkably promoting lymphocyte proliferation reaction had the value of development production on broad scale as well as in clinical practice.

Objective:To research the influence and mechanism of Toufeng capsule (TFC) on the concentratioin of blood active substance and single amine neurotransmitter in the brain and blood of magraine mice.Methods: We chose animal disease model of migraine made by hypodermic nitroglycerin and measured the concentration of 5 HT. NE and DA in the rat's brain and blood by means of enzymeimmunoassay experimental methods.Results: TFC could obviously increase the concentration of 5 HT and NE in the bloold and of 5 HT, DA and NE in the brain.Conclusions: TFC might improve neurosystematic regulation functions and enhance the neurotransmitters' secretion and metabolism.

The hemolysin production of 19 strains of Streptococcus spp. isolated from pigs in the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions in recent years were examined. Eight isolates of Streptococcus suis type 2 from Jiangsu showed weak hemolysis on blood agar, but a stronger reaction in Todd-Hewitt broth(THB). The hemolysin belonged to the group of thiol-activated hemolysins. Nine strains of Streptoccus equi subsp. zooepidemicus showed strong hemolysis on blood agar and in THB containing 5% new-born calf serum, but no hemolysis in THB alone. This hemolysin was similar to streptolysin S(SLS). Another two isolates were atypical members of Lancefield group C Streptococcus and showed strong hemolysis on blood agar and in THB with 5% new-born calf serum, but the hemolysin was unlike either streptolysin O or SLS.

Objective To explore the use of integrated two methods in vitro in prediction of eye irritation caused by cosmetics.Method Chorioallantoic membrane vascular assay ( CAMVA), bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) and Draize rabbit eye irritation test were used to determine the predictive potential of eye irritation of 60 kinds of cosmetics.Results CAMVA method was able to distinguish 41 non-irritant samples and 18 irritant samples.BCOP method was able to predict 35 non-irritant samples , 21 mild-moderate irritant samples and 4 severe irritant samples . Combination of CAMVA and BCOP methods could obviously improve the identification ability of irritation , and the classification consistency with Draize rabbit eye irritation testing reached 98.3%.Conclusions The integrated test strategy combined BCOP with CAMVA can be used to appropriately predict ocular irritation of cosmetics , with a prediction range covering non-irritant to severe irritant samples .

Objective To explore the effect of TCM differentiated treatment and nursing on patients with multiple myeloma and blood stasis.Methods Two hundred and thirteen patients with multiple myeloma and blood stasis were managed with TCM differentiated treatment and nursing.The blood-stasis score was compared before the treatment and two curative courses after the treatment.Result The blood-stasis score significantly decreased after treatment(P<0.01).Conclusions TCM differentiated treatment with diet instruction and emotional comfort can improve the symptom of multiple myeloma with blood stasis,promote the life quality of the patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between heart rate variability and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in Kirgiz and Han,to understand the differences between ethnic groups,at the same time to provide effective method for type 2 diabetic autonomic neuropathy.Methods 24 -h Holter recording was performed in 1 46 individuals.75 cases of T2DMconfirmed by glycolated hemoglobin(HbA1 c)were selected as observation group, Kirgiz 40 people,Han 35 people.While 71 subjects without T2DM were chosen as control group,Kirgiz 34 people, Han 37 people.The HRV indices,including standard deviation (SD)for the time between normal -to -normal complexes in the entire 24 h electrocardiographic recording(SDNN),the average of SD for the time between normal -to -normal intervals for each 5 min period(SDNN5),the percentage of adjacent RR intervals 50 ms apart(PNN50), normal RR intervals divided by RR intervals derived from the triangle index(TRIA),SD of the average normal -to -normal intervals for each 5 min period (SDANN)and root -mean square of differences of successive RR intervals (RMSSD)were compared between these groups.Results There were no significant differences in age,gender, education level and smoking between Kirgiz and Han patients.The differences were statistically significant in SDNN, SDNN5,PNN50,SDANN,TRIA(t =3.392,P =0.001 ;t =3.652,P =0.001 ;t =3.826,P =0.001 ;t =3.235,P =0.002;t =2.378,P =0.02)between patients with or without T2DMin Kirgiz population.In contrast,the mean square root of SDNN,SDNN5,PNN50,TRIA,RMSSD(t =3.498,P =0.001 ;t =3.41 4,P =0.001 ;t =2.1 05,P =0.039;t =2.1 02,P =0.039;t =3.41 3,P =0.001 )were statistically significant in Han population between T2DM patients and nondiabetic patients.There was no deference between Han and Kirgiz patients without T2DM in HRV,whereas the TRIA(t =2.887,P =0.005 )had significant difference in T2DM patients between Han and Kirgiz population. Conclusion The HRV is significantly reduced in the T2DMpatients,especially the Kirgiz.The HRV analysis using 24h Holter is a noninvasive technology to detect the T2DM.
