Background Retinal neovascularization disease is a group of threatening-vision eye diseases.Researches showed that cathepsin B is involved in angiogenesis.Exploring a drug which inhibit retinal blood vessels will provide the basis for the molecular mechanism of these diseases.Objective This study was to investigate the inhibitory role of cathepsin B-RNAi-lentivirus on retinal angiogenesis.Methods Sixty 7-day-old C57BL/6J mice were raised together with maternal mice in the closed box with the oxygen concentration of (75-2)％ for 5 days to establish the retinal angiogenesis mouse models.The mice were then taken into the normal air environment for continuous raise and were randomized into 3 groups.NC-GFP-LV of 1 μl and the equal volume of cathepsin B-RNAi-lentivirus was intravitreously injected respectively in 40 eyes in the control group and the gene treatment group,and no drug was administered in the 40 eyes of the model group.The mice were sacrificed and retinas were obtained.Expression of cathepsin B protein in the retina was detected by Western blot assay (cathepsin B/β-actin).Real-time PCR was used to detect and compare the expression level of cathepsin B mRNA (2△△Ct).FITC-dextran was used to perform heart infusion for the retinal stretched preparation 5 days after intravitreously injection.Retinal neovascularization was examined by fluorescent angiography.Results The expression level (2-△△Ct) of cathepsin B mRNA was 0.74 ±0.12 in the gene treatment group,showing a significant decline in comparison with 1.66±0.17 and 1.58±0.29 in the model group and control group (q--0.746,1.588,P＜ 0.01).The expression level of cathepsin B protein (cathepsin B/β-actin) in the retina was 0.64±0.06,0.93±0.09 and 0.96±0.09 respectively in the gene treatment group,model group and control group,indicating a significant reduce in the gene treatment group (q =0.637,0.894,P＜0.01).Distorted vessels were seen in the mice retinas of the model group with more branches and vascular anastomosis,and fluorescine leakage was exhibited under the fluorescence microscope.However,the vessels were regular with less branches and angiogenesis.Conclusions Cathepsin B-RNAi-lentivirus can effectively inhibit oxygen-induced retinal angiogenesis in mouse.

Objective To discuss the effects of bacteria lysates (OM-85BV),1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2-VitD3],two immune regulators on airway inflammation in asthmatic mice models,and its pathways of action on airway inflammation were discussed.Methods Forty male BALB/c mice graded 4-6 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups.Group A:control group;group B:asthmatic model group;group C:1,25-(OH)2-VitD3 group;group D:OM-85BV group;group E:combination group.On days 0 to 14,mice in C,D and E groups were given 1,25-(OH)2-VitD3,OM-85BV and 1,25-(OH)2-VitD3 + OM-85 BV,and mice in A,B groups were given 9 g/L saline instead.On days 15,22 and 29,mice in B,C,D,E groups were intraperitoneally with injection of ovalbumin(OVA)-aluminum hydroxide [Al(OH)3].Group A were given 9 g/L saline instead.On days 36 to 40,mice of B,C,D,E groups were given an aerosol challenge of 10 g/L OVA for 0.5 h once a day.Mice in the control group were given the same amount of 9 g/L saline.Animals were sacrificed 24 hours after the final inhalational challenge,and for the recovered bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) of the left lung was used for differential inflammatory cell counts and for detecting the level of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-17 (IL-17).Right lung samples were used for pathological investigation and detecting the expression of the IL-17 mRNA and RORγt mRNA by real time-PCR.Results Compared with the control group,the asthma models expressed more serious expression in bronchospasm contraction,hyperplasia disorders of bronchial epithelial cells,infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung,and so on.Compared with the control group,the total number of inflammatory cells counts[(104.04 ±5.51) 107/L vs (22.79 ± 1.91) 107/L] and eosinophils proportion [(37.63 ± 3.64) ％ vs (2.37 ± 1.55) ％] in BALF in group B were significantly increased (all P ＜ 0.05),the levels of IL-17 [(85.13 ± 5.77) 103 pg/L vs (47.44 ± 4.57) 103 pg/L] in BALF were significantly higher(P ＜ 0.05),the relative expressions of IL-17 mRNA (13.68 ± 1.59 vs 1.00 ± 0.00) and RORγt mRNA (4.53 ± 0.51 vs 1.00 ± 0.00) in lung were higher,which had a statistical significance (all P ＜ 0.05).The situations of group C,D,E were obviously improved compared with group B,and those of group D were improved remarkably.Conclusions Oral OM-85BV and 1,25-(OH)2-VitD3 intervention could relieve the airway inflammation of asthmatic mice models,and its effect can be remarkable by oral OM-85BV.The two immune regulators could relieve the degree of airway inflammation on asthmatic mice models by reducing the expression of Th17 cells differentiation.Therefore the two immune regulators could be the choices for preventing the happening and the development of the asthmatic airway inflammation.

Mucosal adjuvants play important roles in vaccine development. By now, the common used mucosal adjuvants can be divided into three categories: the bacterial derivatives, cytokines and chemokines, and antigen delivery systems. Progresses of the three kinds of adjuvants were reviewed to give a reference to novel vaccine research.

Objective To investigate the effects of telmisartan on the blood glucose, blood lipid, blood insulin, and insulin resistance in the hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia, and also its effect on controlling blood pressure. Patients and Methods A total of 96hypertensive patients (34 females, 62 males) with dyslipidemia were included (mean age 51.2±9.6, range 42-65 years). Patients were randomized to receive either telmisartan 80 mg/day (n=46) or enalapril 10 mg/day (n=50) for 6 months. The levels of blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and biochemical data were measured before therapy and at the end of the 3-month treatment and 6-month treatment, respectively. Meanwhile, insulin resistance was evaluated by using a homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IS). Results In the telmisartan group, the mean blood pressure was obviously lower than that of pre-therapy (P＜0.05), and the levels of triglyceride (TG), HOMA-IR, and HOMA-IS were all obviously lower than those of pre-therapy and of the enalapril group at the end of the 3-month-treatment period (P＜0.05). After 6 months of treatment, the levels of TG, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-IS in the telmisartan group were significantly lower in comparison with those of pre-therapy, the enalapril group (P＜0.01), and 3-month-treatment (P＜0.05). Post-prandial12 hour blood glucose (P2HBG) in the telmisartan group decreased significantly after 6-month treatment compared with that of pre-therapy and the enalapril group (P＜0.05). The level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was significantly higher after 6-month treatment in the telmisartan group than with pre-therapy and the enalapril group(P＜0.05). Conclusions Telmisartan could not only control blood pressure steadily and effectively, but also decrease blood TG, increase HDL cholesterol and insulin sensitivity, and lower insulin resistance.

Objective To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with different radiation doses for esophageal carcinoma. Methods 78 cases of esophageal carcinoma receiving primary definitive treatment in our department between May 1 , 2005 to June 31 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients with esophageal carcinoma were divided into high- ( > 50 Gy, median dose of 64 Gy) and low-dose (50 Gy) groups according to their prescription doses (n = 35, 43, respectively). Chemotherapy regimen consisted of cisplatin (75 mg/m2, d1) and 5-FU (500 ~ 600 mg/m2, D2 ~ 5) starting at days 1, 28, 49 and 70 after the beginning of radiotherapy with 2 ~ 4 cycles. The two groups were compared in terms of the early treatment outcomes, the side effects and survival rates. Results The 1,3 and 5-year survival rates for the high and low dose groups were 71.4%, 34.3%, 25.7%and 76.7%, 41.9%, 30.2%, respectively. The median survival time was 19 and 22 months respectively without statistical difference. The high dose group was more likely to have higher incidence rate of grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ myelosuppression in spite of the statistical difference. The high dose group had significantly higher incidence of esophagitis than did the low dose group (P=0.040). Conclusion For esophageal carcinoma with only indications of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, te low dose radiation (50 Gy) has comparable outcomes and less side effects compared with the high dose radiation (>50 Gy).

Objective To investigate the correlation of diabetic skeletal muscle disease with macroangiopathy, and to explore the related genes of Shenqi Compound Recipe (SCR) in preventing and treating diabetic skeletal muscle disease by using gene chip technique, thus to reveal the molecular mechanism. Methods KKAy mice were fed with water containing nitri oxide synthase inhibitor of Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester ( L-NAME) and high fat diet to induce the macroangiopathy complicated with type 2 diabetes. The experimental animals were divided into normal c57BL/GJ group, KKAy group, model group, SCR group (in the dosage of 14.4 g·kg-1·d-1) and rosiglitazone group ( in the dosage of 1.33 mg·kg-1·d-1) , 15 in each group. The medication groups were administered the corresponding agents for 8 consecutive weeks just as the modeling began. During the experiment period, blood glucose was monitored. At the end of the experiment, the abdominal aorta and skeletal muscle of mice were taken out for the observation of morphological changes, and differentially expressed genes of skeletal muscle between SCR group and model group, and between model group and KKAy group were detected by gene chip technique. Results SCR had an effect on relieving the atrophy, edema, fracture, and inflammatory changes in the skeletal muscle. There were 198 genes differentially expressed between model group and KKAy group, including 119 up-regulated genes and 79 down-regulated genes. There were 70 genes differentially expressed between SCR group and model group, including 33 up-regulated genes and 37 down-regulated genes. In the two comparison groups, 7 genes ( Celsr2, Rilpl1, Dlx6as, 2010004M13Rik, Anapc13, Gm6097, Ddx39b) showed reversed differential expression. Conclusion Diabetic skeletal muscle disease is associated with macroangiopathy. SCR has preventive effect on diabetic skeletal muscle lesion, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of Celsr2, Rilpl1, Dlx6as, 2010004M13Rik, Anapc13, Gm6097, Ddx39b gene expression.
