To investigate the mechanism of macrophages apoptosis induced by stressed Salmonella typhi,macrophages were co-cultivate with inhibitors caspase 3,8,9 and anti-TNF-α antibody and then S.typhi was added to construct the infection model..The rate of macrophage apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry and the contens of caspase 3.8 ,9 and anti-TNF-α antibody as well as NO were then determined respectively.It was found that the apoptotic rates of macrophages were significantly inhibited by caspase 3 and caspase 8 inhibitors and antibody against TNF-α respectively (P<0.01).A significantly enhanced generation of caspase 3 and caspase 8 activities during macrophage apoptosis induced by S.typhi correlated with the increased generation of TNF-αand NO (P<0.01).These results indicate that the inactive NO and TNF-α mediated inhibitors caspase 3 and caspase 8 participate the exogenous apoptotitic pathway of macrophages induced by S.typhi.

Objective This study evaluated the effects of combined procedure of surgical treatment and cell transplantation on dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods Eight patients (5 men and 3 women) with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation from end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy underwent surgery. Four patients were in functional class (FC) Ⅳ, six were in FC Ⅲ. There age ranged from 15 to 56 years. The preoperative ejection fraction (EF) ranged from 0.15 to 0.32 (mean 0.26 ± 0.08). Mitral valve replacement was performed in 5 patients and mitral valve repair in 3. Auto-bone marrow monenuclear cells were harvested, isolated, washed, and resuspended for direct injection after surgical procedure. Results All patients survived and were discharged from the hospital. After a mean follow-up period of 18 months ( 12 - 42 months). Echocardiography showed postoperative ejection fraction and wall movement velocity increased after 6 months. Radionuclide ventriculography showed myocardial perfusion improved significantly. Conclusion Combined procedure of surgical treatment and cell transplantation led to significant improvement in cardiac function in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Aim To investigate the Yiqi Yangyin Qingre Oral Liquid(YYQ) on insulin resistance in hyperglycemic fatty rats.Methods The model of hyperglycemic fatty rats was induced by intravenous injection with a low dose of streptozotocin(STZ) and a fed high fat and high caloric diet.The YYQ was given via gavage for a period of 4 weeks.The fasting blood glucose(FBG),oral glucose tolerance(OGT),serum insulin(INS),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),free fatty acid(FFA)levels,glucose infusion rate(GIR) by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique as well as erythrocyte insulin receptors(INSR)of rats were tested when the experiment was finished.The weight of the epididymal fat pads and the perirenal fat pads were measured.The IR,IRS-1mRNA expressions in liver tissue were measured by RT-PCR technology.Results YYQ treatment decreased the levels of FBG,TC,TG,LDL-C,FFA and increased the level of HDL-C in hyperglycemic fatty rats.As compared with the model rats,glucose tolerance was improved and body weight was reduced in hyperglycemic fatty rats treated with YYQ.Moreover,YYQ treatment upregulated IR,IRS-1mRNA expressions in liver tissue and increased insulin receptor amounts on the erythrocytes surface as well as GIR in the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp experiment.Conclusions YYQ ameliorated insulin resistance in hyperglycemic fatty rats,and its mechanism might be related to increment of INSR and stimulation of insulin pathway.

Objective To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and treatment for solidpseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPTP). Method In this study, 27 cases of SPTP from September 2000 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The median age of these 27 cases was 26 years. There were 26 females and 1 male. Epigastric pain was complained in 16 cases, abdominal aponia mass in 11 cases. Tumour marker level was within normal range. Ultrasonic manifestation usually shows cystic and solid lesion without blood signal. Lesions were typical with high blood supply in enhanced CT scan, cystic and solid component confounding in it. MRI revealed low-middle signal in T1 and middle-high signal in T2. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 9 cases, pancreatic local excision and pancreaticojejunostomy were performed in 4 cases, pancreatic local excision was performed in 6 cases, Distal pancreatectomy and spleen resection were performed in 8 cases. Post-operative pathology shows local lesion in 12 cases, invading the pancreatic parenchyma in 14 cases and intravascular tumor thrombi and lymphnode metastasis in 1 case. All cases were followed up with an average period of 26.1 months. There was no recurrence nor metastasis. Conclusion Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas has a low malignant potential, affecting primarily young women. It has no typical clinical appearance. Enhanced CT scanning has the relative characteristic imaging. Complete resection usually results in long-term survival.

Aim To study the mechanism of synergistic antitumor of EBB and doxorubicin in doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7/ADR breast carcinoma cells.Methods The antitumor activity of doxorubiein alone and its combination with EBB were measured by MTT assay in MCF-7/ADR and MCF-7cells. The rate of doxorubicin-induced apoptosis and the protein and mRNA levels of P-glycoprotein(P-gp) were determined in MCF-7/ADR treated with EBB by flow cytometry (FACS), respectively.Laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to detect the intracellular accumulation of drug in EBB-treated MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells.Results EBB had antitumor effects for MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR.It could potentiate the antitumor effect of dororubicin with CDI of 0.73 and 0.49 for MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR,respectively.EBB and doxorubicin acted synergistically in elevating apoptosis of MCF-7/ADR and downregulating the expression of P-gp in a dose-dependent manner in MCF-7/ADR.EBB restored the intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin in MCF-7/ADR cells in a dose-dependent manner.After pretreatment with EBB for 24 h and 48 h,the intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin and Rh123 was obviousely restored in MCF-7/ADR cells compared with control in a time-dependent manner.Conclusion EBB is a potential agent which has strong inhibitory effect on both multidrug resistant cells and their parental cells.EBB can significantly potentiate the antitumor effects of dororubicin in MCF-7/ADR cells by blocking the function of P-glycoprotein and inhibiting the expression of P-glycoprotein.
