Objective:To observe the effect of Gegen Qinlian decoction on high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and interleu-kin-6(IL-6)in serum of the rats with periodontitis and the IL-6 expression level in periodontal tissues.Methods:45 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group N(n =1 0),periodontitis model group P(n =35).After periodontitis model was identi-fied by the examination of 5 rats,the rest rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n =1 0)and treated by gavage of saline(group P0 ), metronidazole(group P1 )and Gegen Qinlian decoction(group P2 )respectively for 4 weeks.Then all the rats were sacrificed.Serum was immediately harvested for the test of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels by ELISA.Attachment loss level(AL)was examined by pa-thology.IL-6 expression in periodontal tissues was examined by S-P immunohistochemistry.Results:The inflammation of periodontal tissues in P1 ,P2 were improved more than that in P0 .AL in group P2 were lower than that in other groups(P <0.05).The IL-6 expres-sion in periodontal tissues and the levels of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 of group P2 were lower than those of other groups(P <0.05).Ser-um hs-CRP level was positively correlated with IL-6 level.Conclusion:Gegen Qinlian decoction may inhibit the development of peri-odontitis by depressing the expression of serum hs-CRP and IL-6.

Objective:To observe the effect of Gegen Qinlian decoction on serum high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)expres-sion of rats with periodontitis and atherosclerosis(P-AS).Methods:40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group(A,n=1 0),P-AS group(B,n=30).5 rats in group A and B were used for the identification of P-AS model.Then rats with P-AS in group B were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=5)and administered with saline(B1 ),atorvastatin(B2),metronidazole (B3),atorvastatin+metronidazole(B4)and Gegen Qinlian decoction(B5)respectively for 4 weeks.Serum hs-CRP level was assayed by ELISA.Periodontal attachment loss(AL)and artery change were examined by pathology.Results:Serum hs-CRP level in group B1-5 was higher than that of group A(P<0.01 ).Serum hs-CRP level of group B4 and B5 was lower than that of group B1-3(P<0.01 ),B4 vs B5,P>0.05.The inflammation of periodontal tissues in group B2-5 was improved more than that in group B1 .AL in group B4 and B5 were lower than that in other groups(P<0.01 ),B4 vs B5,P>0.05.Histopathological observation of arteries re-vealed that there was no foam cell in group B4 and B5 ,the artery wall in group B4 and B5 was more even and muscle fibers were ar-ranged more regular.Conclusion:Gegen Qinlian decoction may decreas serum hs-CRP expression and depress the development of pe-riodontitis and atherosclerosis.

This study examined the effect of long-term administration of low-dose FTY720 on survival of murine cardiac allograft and the possible mechanism. Murine models of abdominal heterotopic heart transplantation were established. Low-dose FTY720 (0.3 mg/kg) was administrated to the animals 4 days before the transplantation of cardiac allografts until the occurrence of rejection or the observation terminals. The animals without FTY720 treatment and those with syngeneic cardiac grafts transplanted served as controls. The mean survival time (MST) of grafts, and T lymphocyte subsets in grafts, peripheral blood and lymphoid organs were measured by histopathological examination or flow cytometry, and compared among groups. The results showed that the MST of allografts in FTY720-treated mice was more than 40 days, significantly longer than that in the untreated group (MST=8 days, P<0.01). After the long-term administration of FTY720, the proportion of CD4(+) and CD8(+) lymphocytes in peripheral blood was diminished significantly, but the proportion of CD4(+) lymphocytes was increased in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and spleen. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the infiltration of CD4(+) and CD8(+) lymphocytes in allografts was significantly inhibited after long-term administration of low-dose FTY720. It was concluded that low-dose long-term administration of FTY720 could promote T lymphocytes in lymphatic organs and decrease their infiltration in allografts, resulting in the inhibition of rejection and the long-term survival of allografts.

Our previous studies demonstrated that CD151 gene promoted neovascularization in ischemic heart model. To improve the delivery efficacy and target specificity of CD151 gene to ischemic heart, we generated an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector in which CD151 expression was controlled by the myosin light chain (MLC-2v) promoter to achieve the cardiac-specific expression of CD151 gene in ischemic myocardium and to limit unwanted CD151 expression in extracardiac organs. The function of this vector was examined in rat ischemic myocardium model. The protein expression of CD151 in the ischemic myocardium areas, liver and kidney was confirmed by using Western blot, while the microvessels within ischemic myocardium areas were detected by using immunohistochemistry. The results showed that MLC-2v significantly enhanced the expression of CD151 in ischemic myocardium, but attenuated its expression in other organs. The forced CD151 expression could increase the number of microvessels in the ischemic myocardium. This study demonstrates the AAV-mediated and MLC-2v regulated CD151 gene is highly expressed in the ischemic myocardium and cardiac-specific delivery that is more efficiently targets CD151 to the ischemia myocardium after myocardial infarction.
