Objective To evaluate the relationship between 18F-FDG uptake and P-gp expression in Bcap37 or Bcap37/MDR1 tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice.Methods Bcap37 or Bcap37/MDR1 cells were injected into BALB/c nude mice (1× 107cells/ml,0.2 ml/mouse) to construct mice models.Bcap37 (n=5) or Bcap37/MDR1 (n=5) tumor-bearing mice fasted for 6 h before imaging.After anesthesia,the mice were injected with 7.4 MBq of 18F-FDG via tail vein.The dynamic microPET scans were carried out for 90 min.On the microPET images,the ROI was drawn and the TAC was obtained.The next day,those 10 mice underwent dynamic microPET scans after injected with elacridar (GF120918) and 18F-FDG.Another 10 mice,5 with Bcap37 tumors and 5 with Bcap37/MDR1 tumors,were used.After 7.4 MBq 18F-FDG with or without 2.0 mg/kg GF120918 was administered via tail vein,microPET images were acquired at 60 min.ROI was drawn over the tumors and SUV was obtained.Two-sample t test was used to analyze the data.Results GF120918 did not significantly alter the 18F-FDG accumulation curve in Bcap37 tumors,but significantly enhanced the 18F-FDG accumulation in Bcap37/MDR1 tumors.GF120918 did not influence 18F-FDG uptake (SUV) in Bcap37 tumors (1.052±0.028,1.028±0.045,t =1.792,P＞0.05),but significantly increased the SUV in Bcap37/MDR1 tumors (1.015±0.043,0.712±0.031,t=3.365,P＜0.05);The SUV of 18 F-FDG in Bcap37 tumors was significantly higher than that in Bcap37/MDR1 tumors without injection of GF120918 (t =3.952,P＜0.05).The SUV was not significantly different when GF120118 was injected (t=1.835,P＞0.05).Conclusions 18F-FDG is a substrate of P-gp.18F-FDG imaging combined with GF120918 injection may be an effective noninvasive method for the detection of tumor's MDR.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of sodium channels antagonists HOE642 on lung ischemia reperfusion and the role of the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signaling pathway in this process.Methods:A total of 36 mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group (SHAM group),a lung ischemia reperfusion group (I/R group) and a lung ischemia reperfusion+HOE642 group (HOE group).The water content was detected by electronic scales,and the lung tissue pathological changes were observed under optical microscope.The inflammatory cytokines including IL-6 and TNF-α were examined by ELISA.The intracellular calcium fluorescence intensity was examined and observed under fluorescence microscope,and the protein expression of p38MAPK was detected by Western blot.Results:Lung water content in the HOE group was lower than that in the I/R group,but higher than that in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).Lung interstitial edema,hemorrhage,lung tissue inflammatory cells infiltration were significantly alleviated in the HOE group than those in the I/R group,while the injury in the HOE group was aggravated than those in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).T he IL-6 and TNF-α in lung tissues in the HOE group were lower than those in the I/R group,but higher than those in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).Intracellular calcium fluorescence intensity in the HOE group was lower than that in the I/R group,but higher than that in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).The protein expression of p38MAPK in lung tissues in the HOE group was lower than that in the I/R group,but higher than that in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).Conclusion:HOE642 may exert protective effect on pulmonary I/R injury through regulation of the p38MAPK signaling pathway,resulting in reduction of intracellular calcium ion concentration and calcium overload,and decrease of inflammatory response.

Objective To evaluate the effect of P-gp inhibitors of verapamil (VER) and GF120918 on 18F-FDG uptake in Bcap37 and Bcap37/multidrug resistancce (MDR)1 cell lines in vitro,and to explore the relationship between 18F-FDG uptake and P-gp expression at cellular level.Methods Bcap37 and Bcap37/MDR1 cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of 1 × 106 per well.Three days later,37 kBq/ml 18F-FDG,or 37 kBq/ml 18F-FDG + 100 μmoL/L VER,or 37 kBq/ml 18F-FDG + 50 μmol/L GF120918 were added into each well.Mter incubated for 10,30,60 and 120 min at 37 ℃ and in 5％ CO2,the medium was removed and the cells were washed three times with 1 ml ice-cold PBS immediately.The radioactivity of 18 F-FDG was measured using a gamma counter.The uptake of 18F-FDG was expressed as the ratio of 18F-FDG radioactivity in Bcap37 or Bcap37/MDR1 cells and the overall radioactivity added to the cells in each well.The t test was used for statistical analysis.Results 18F-FDG uptake was higher in Bcap37/MDR1 cells than that in Bcap37 cells after incubated for 10 min.The uptake rate was (1.88 ±0.19) ％ in Bcap37/MDR1 cells and (1.37 ± 0.18) ％ in Bcap37 cells (t =7.832,P ＜ 0.05).On the contrary,18 F-FDG uptake was significantly higher in Bcap37 cells than that in Bcap37/MDR1 cells after incubated for 60 and 120 min.The uptake rates were (2.29 ±0.23)％ and (2.34 ±0.15)％ in Bcap37 cells,(1.47 ±0.14)％ and (1.53 ±0.22)％ in Bcap37/MDR1 cells (t =8.437,8.283,both P ＜ 0.05).18 F-FDG uptake was significantly higher with VER or GF120918 in Bcap37/MDR1 cells than that without VER or GF120918 after the incubation of 60 and 120 min (t =9.032,9.243 and 8.765,8.803,all P ＜ 0.05).The uptake rates with VER or GF120918 were (2.45 ±0.21)％ and (2.46 ±0.25)％,(2.50 ±0.24)％ and (2.48 ±0.27)％.There was no significant difference of 18F-FDG uptake in Bcap37 cells with or without VER or GF120918.Conclusions 18F-FDG is a substrate of P-gp at cellular level.P-gp may act as an efflux pump to reduce 18F-FDG uptake in Bcap37/MDR1 cells.The uptake of 18F-FDG can be used to evaluate the function of P-gp in tumor cells.

Objective To study tirofiban intravenous injection,coronary artery injection of the two different methods in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction,the application of emergency PCI.Methods Patients underwent emergency PCI with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction as the research subjects,a total of 108 cases,the patients were randomly divided into the observation group and control group,54 patients in each group. In the observation group,the first dose of tirofiban was injected into the coronary artery.The control group was treated by intravenous injection.The results of the two groups were compared.Results Before treatment,TIMI level 2 and level 3 ratio,initial corrected TIMI frame count of the observation group were significantly lower than the control group (χ2 /t =4.32,4.59,5.25,all P <0.05).After treatment,MBG level 2 or level 3 ratio,post -operative corrected TIMI frame count of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (χ2 /t =4.11,4.85,5.87, all P <0.05).1 h after PCI treatment,the number of cases of ST fully back,the added value of EF,plague index scores of observation group were 53 cases,(8.02 ±6.94)%,(0.41 ±0.28)respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the control group 36 cases,(5.87 ±6.54)%,(0.28 ±0.27)(χ2 /t =5.32,4.32,3.65,all P <0.05).Adverse events of the two groups had no significant difference (χ2 =0.52,P >0.05).Conclusion Compared with intravenous injection,tirofiban in the treatment of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction by intracoronary injection can improve the level of myocardial perfusion after PCI operation,promote the recovery of left ventricular function,and has high security.

Objective To explore the correlation between hyperlipidemia and colorectal polyps by compare the level of serum lipids in patients with colorectal polyps.Methods The levels of total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) of 159 patients with colorectal polyps and 138 controls were tested.The serum lipids between colorectal polyps group and control group,of colorectal polyps with different pathological type,of adenomatous polyps with different pathological type,of adenomatous polyps with different location,colorectal polyps of different gender were compared.Chi square test or t test were performed for data analysis.Results The incidence of hyperlipidemia of colorectal polyps group was 41.5％ (66/159),which was higher than that of control group (16.7％,23/138) and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =36.56,P＜0.01),its levels of TG,TC and LDL-C were all higher than those of the latter ((1.52±0.56) mmol/L vs (1.06 ± 0.42) mmol/L,(5.22±0.86) mmol/L vs (4.52±0.96) mmol/L,(2.85±0.66) mmol/L vs (2.52± 0.35) mmol/L; t=4.23,4.02,3.72,all P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in the levels of TC,TG and LDL-C between colorectal polyps with different pathological type (all P＞ 0.05).The incidence of hyperlipidemia of tubular villous adenoma and villous adenoma (progressive adenomas) was 60.0％ (15/25),which was higher than that of tubular adenoma group (33.3％,20/60) and the difference was statistically significant (x2=5.18,P＜0.05).The incidence of hyperlipidemia of left colon and rectal polyps group was 46.2％ (49/106),which was higher than that of right colon polyps group (28.6 ％,12/42) and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =3.87,P＜0.05).The incidence of hyperlipidemia of male colorectal polyps group was 47.2％ (51/108),which was higher than that of female group (29.4％,15/51) and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.53,P＜0.05).The level of TG of male colorectal polyps group was higher than that of female group ((1.84 ± 0.73) mmol/L vs (1.55±0.65) mmol/L) and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.98,P＜0.05).Age (r=0.766,P=0.009),TG level (r=0.535,P=0.012) and TClevel (r=0.688,P=0.025) were positively correlated with genesis of colorectal polyps.Conclusion There is a significant correlation between hypertriglyceride,hypercholesteremia and colorectal polyps.

At present ,the mechanism of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus causing human infection or death is still not fully clear .In order to better understand the pathogenesis of the disease ,the rhesus macaques were infected with H5N1 virus (AF148678/ACGoose/Guangdong/11961H5N1) .We analyzed the clinical symptoms ,characteristics of the virus invades body ,pathological changes ,and immune response to discuss the pathogenesis of viral pneumonia induced by H 5N1 virus infection from the early time to the recovery time .The rhesus macaques were infected with H5N1 virus through nasal .Clinical signs were assessed daily ,and major organs and blood were collected for detection of blood routine analysis ,viruses were isola-ted and titrated from organs ,and pathologic and immunohistochemical were also conducted .As a result ,the rhesus macaques in-fected with H5N1 virus experienced fever ,dyspnea ,and anorexia .The respiratory tract was the major target of the virus and the virus could not replicate in organs outside the respiratory tract .Positive staining cells by immunohistochemistry were bronchial epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages .Rhesus macaques experienced temporary severe pneumonia after 1-3 days ,mainly be-cause of neutrophils infiltration ;gradual recovery 6 days later ,mainly with macrophage infiltration ;lung tissue presented recov-ery state after 14 days ,mainly with T lymphocytes infiltration .Finally ,we concluded that the predilection of the H 5N1 virus to infect the lower airway suggests that it may be a limiting factor in human-to-human transmissibility of the H5N1 virus .The pathogenesis may include virus invasion ,replication and immune injury .

ObjectiveIn order to compare the alteration of reelin-immunoreactive Cajal-Retzius cells (CR cells) in molecular layer of dentate gyrus of APPswe transgenic mice with wild type, the histochemical and developmental characteristics of CR cells were studied, therefore, the roles of CR cells in Alzheimer's disease would be revealed further.Methods The Thioflavine S staining, reelin immunofluorescence with or without reelin/glutamate and reelin/GABA immuno-double staining were carried out in the study. In the meantime, Western blotting was used to study the expression of reelin in hippocampi of the both wild type and transgenic mice. Results Reelin positive CR cells could be double-labeled with either glutamate or GABA immunostaining. Caspase-3 immunofluorescence demonstrated that some CR cells went through apoptosis during their development. Compared with wild type, CR cells in APPswe transgenic mice had significantly decreased in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. The result was supported with Western blotting analysis of reelin expression in hippocampus. Conclusion Reelin could be co-expressed with either glutamate or GABA, suggesting CR cells would be glutamatergic exciting neurons and GABAergic interneurons. The loss of CR cells during development probably was caused by the neuroapoptosis. Significant decrease of CR cells in hippocampus of APPswe transgenic mice indicated reelin may play an important role in AD pathological alterations.

Objective To investigate the effects of electromagnetic irradiation on activation of protein kinase C(PKC)and phosphorylation of glutamate receptor 2(GluR2)in rat cerebellum.Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were divided randomly into a control group and an electromagnetic exposure group(including 5 subgroups ob- served at different time points after the irradiation,eg.0 hour,3 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 72 hours after irradi- ation),with 10 rats in each group.All the rats in the exposure group were exposed to 90 mW/cm2 electromagnetic ir- radiation for 20 minutes,their rectal temperature was detected immediately after irradiation and the specific absorption rate(SAR)value was calculated,activation of PKC was detected with improved TaKai method,the level of cerebellar GluR2 expression and phosphorylation(ser880)was detected by using Western blot.Results Immediately(0 hour)after exposure,the rectal temperature of rats increased 2.99℃,SAR value was 8.66 W/kg.When compared to the control group,it was found that there was no significant difference between the exposure group and the control group with regard to all the parameters at 3,12,24 and 72 hours after exposure,except that the cerebellar PKC acti- vation and GluR2(ser 880)phosphorylation decreased significantly immediately after irradiation.Conclusion The electromagnetic irradiation has injurious effects on cerebellar signal pathway of for motor learning.
