The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) expression in the trigeminal motor nucleus (Vmo) following mandibular nerve transection. The expression of CGRP and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected at 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days post-axotomy (dpa) by using immunohistochemical and double-immunofluorescence histochemical methods. And the number of CGRP-positive surviving motoneurons was examined by using image analysis system. The present results showed that there was a "biphasic" up-regulation of CGRP-immunoreactivity at 3 and 35 dpa on the ipsilateral side of the Vmo, and significant changes were also observed on the contralateral side. Quantitative analysis revealed that there was almost no loss of motoneurons in the Vmo but there was an evident increase in GFAP expression around the Vmo neurons on the ipsilateral side after axotomy. The present results suggest that the up-regulation of CGRP may exert its trophic effects in both the acute stress reaction and the recovery of the injured motoneurons, and the activated astrocytes may be well involved in this process.

The purpose of this study is to find out anti-HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT)/protease (PR) activity and inhibition of virus replication in cell cultures of novel coumarin analogs and determine their structure-activity relationship. Coumarin derivatives have been demonstrated to inhibit the activity of HIV-1 RT/PR in cell free system. It also shows inhibition effects to HIV-1 replication in cell culture. Based on the Chinese traditional pharmacological characteristics and protein three dimension computer aided design, analogs of tetracyclic dipyranocoumarin were synthesized from natural leading compounds. We studied the relationship of antiviral effects and chemical structures via HIV-1 PR/RT enzyme models and cell culture model system. Seven compounds were designed and tested. Several compounds showed anti-HIV-1 activity in varying degrees, especially V0201 showed much higher anti-HIV-1 activity with 3.56 and 0.78 micromol x L(-1) of IC50 against HIV-1 PR/RT and 0.036 micromol x L(-1) against HIV-1 replication in PBMC cultures. V0201 with a novel structure may be a new leading compound. These new compounds are valuable for development of new anti-HIV drugs in the future.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of OX40L gene silence in dentritic cells by RNAi through lentiviral vector, so that to explore the influence of CD4 + CD25 + T regulatory cells by blocking OX40/OX40L costimulation signals. Methods Serial plasmids were constructed, consisting of lentiviral vector framework, containing different OX40L siRNA sequences. The most effective packaged one by 293T cells to be the operating siRNA vector named OX4OL-RNAi-LV was chosen. The negative comparing vector was NC-GFP-LV. DCs isolated from C57BL/6 mice by magnetic selecting system were cultured in vitro and divided into 3 groups. Experimental group and negative control group were transfected with OX40L-RNAi-LV and NC-GFP-LV, respectively, and the blank control group was given the same volume culture solution. The MOI was 25. The status of transfection and GFP expression was monitored by GFP fluorescence. 6 days later, CD86 positive DCs were isolated and were co-cultured with CD4 + CD25 + T regulatory cells isolated from na(y)ve BALB/C. 6 days later, the proliferation and apoptosis of Tregs were evaluated by flow cytometry.Results The most effective siRNA sequence targeted the C,CTCATACAAGAATGAGTA episode of OX40L gene. The suppressive ratio of the OX40L protein expression was 73.1%. While the MOI was 25, the DCs transfected ratio by lentiviral vectors was at the level of 86. 4%. After co-cultured for 6 days, the CD4+CD25 +T regulatory cells of experimental group have a higher proliferation index (respectively, 38.3% vs.24.5 % ,22. 9%, F = 95.40, P = 0. 000) and lower apoptosis percentage ( respectively, 8.7 % vs. 20. 1%,19.8%, F=244.22,P=0. 000) than negative group and blank group. Conclusions The OX40L siRNA lentiviral vetor was constructed. This vector could effectively transfect DCs and block OX40/OX40L pathway, so to promote CD4 + CD25 + T regulatory cells proliferation in vitro.

Objective To observe the change of liver sinusoid in BALB/c mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum and explore its relationship between the degree of hepatic fibrosis and liver function. Methods A model was established in BALB/c mice infected with cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum. The liver specimens of mice were used for pathological examination with routine and picric acid-sirius red staining to know the degree of hepatic fibrosis by semi-quantity. The expressions of C-IV and vWF in liver sinusoid were assayed through the immuhistochemistry staining. The serum ALT and AST were detected by the automatic biochemistry analyzer, and the ultramicrostructure of the liver tissue was observed by a transmission electron microscope. Results The number and diameter of fenestrations in SEC reduced 4 weeks after the infection. The fenestrations were disappeared and the base membrane established 8 weeks after the infection. The expressions of C-IV and vWF in liver sinusoid and the degree of hepatic fibrosis increased with the time after infection. The levels of serum ALT and AST were not correlated with the infection time. Conclusions The phenotype alteration of the hepatic sinusoidal endothelium may be a vital issue triggering the liver fibrosis induced by Schistosoma japoncium.

Objective To investigate the usefulness of the helical CT in demonstrating the abnormal blood vessels of intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Methods In fourteen patients with suspicion of pulmonary sequestration, contrast enhanced helical CT was performed. Clinical presentation included hemoptysis (2), pulmonary infection (8), and asymptomatic (4). Fourteen cases underwent helical CT examination with different scanner and scan parameters. Five CT angiography (CTA) studies were performed by single-section helical CT scanner (Hispeed Advantage, GE, USA) with 3 mm slide thickness, 4.5 mm/s table speed and 1.5 mm reconstruction index. Three CTA studies were done by multisection CT scanner (MX8000 four-slice CT, Marconi, USA) with a collimation of 2.5 mm, resulting in an effective slice width of 3.2 mm. Non-ionic contrast media (iodine 300 mg I/ml) was administered at a rate of 2.5 ml/s via the antecubital vein. The optimal opacification of the upper abdominal aorta were achieved through the use of the Smart Prep (Hispeed Advantage) program or by using the Boluspro ultra (MX8000). Three-dimensional reconstruction was performed with the workstation. Five cases were scanned by using single-section helical CT scanner with 5 mm collimated section and 5 mm/s table speed. And in one patient CT scan was performed with 10 mm section thickness and 10 mm/s table speed. Results CT findings were pulmonary mass (11) and well-defined nodules (3). The lesions were located in right lower lobe (2) and left lower lobe (12). Helical CT identified the aberrant arterial supply in all cases. The origin of the anomalous artery was the descending thoracic aorta (2), upper abdominal aorta (11) and splenic artery (1). These findings were confirmed by operation. Conclusion The combination of axial and 3D images in helical CT, especially the multislice helical CT, is helpful in the assessment of the abnormal blood vessels of intralobar pulmonary sequestration. It can substitute to the angiography in the diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of virulence genes(ply, pspA, nanA, lytA, psaA) among Streptococcus pneumoniae recently isolated from clinical patients. Methods The 133 strains were isolated from patients in three teaching hospitals in Chongqing from 2006 to 2008. Polymerase chain reaction was used to screen for virulence genes (ply, pspA, nanA, lytA, psaA). Results The positive rate of lytA, psaA, ply, nanA and pspA in 133 clinical isolates were 94.7%, 85.0%, 82.7%, 84. 2% and 60.2%, respectively. The positive rates of the lytA, psaA, ply, nanA and pspA genes in 87 common serotypes isolates was 100%, 87.4%, 86.2%, 89.7%, 67.8%, respectively. Conclusion The total positive rates of five virulence genes in the 133 clinical strains were high. The positive rates of five genes in the com-mon serotypes isolates were higher than those in the no-common serotypes. These genes are important virulence genes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. They could be candidates for protein vaccine of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
