Objective:To analyze immune mechanisms of total glycoside from Cornus officinalis (TGCO) against rheumatoid arthritis.Methods:Rat immunized by CⅡ in CFA were treated with TGCO ,at different times after immunization,CⅡ-specific antibodies in serum,lymphnode cells(LNC) IFN-? production was studied and cell proliferation response were also detected.Results:Treatment inhibit disease severity to a greater extent. TGCO effectively decreased anti-CⅡantibody titer in serum, considerably reduced IFN-? secretion before the onset arthritis and the acute stage of arthritis and suppressed T cell differentiation or proliferation.Conclusion:The both lead to supprese arthritis.

Objective To study the effect of applying gastro-bile duct drainage in iatrogentic injury in the bile duct and reasons of iatrogentic injury in the bile duct. Methods Clinical data of 9 cases with iatrogentic injury in the bile duct were studied retrospectively. Results Nine patients with iatrogentic injury in the bile duct were found in time by affnsion examination, choledochoendoscopy or cholangiography intraoperation, including 5 cases in-jured by metal divining rod,2 cases caused by lithotomy, 1 case injured by laparoscopic elastic separating plier and 1 case injured by common hepatic duct transection. The gastro-bile duct was placed into common bile duct through pa-pilla of duodenum, pylorus and the former wall of gastric. All the cases recovered smoothly. The gastro-bile duct was removed in 8 cases in 6 to 10 days later,in 1 cases in 30 days later,who were followed up for 9 months to 5 years, finding no complications such as stricture of bile duct and retroperitoneal infection. Conclusions Intraoperative cho-ledochoendoacopy,affusion examination and cholangiography are helpful to diagnosis. The better results are achieved by appling gastro-bile duct drainage in iatrogentic injury in the bile duct.

Objective To establish an animal model with installation of gastrobiliary duct drainage (GBDD) in the primary suture after exploration of common bile duct, to assess the safety and feasibility of GBDD. Methods Thirty dogs were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=5), primary suture group (n= 10) and GBDD group (n= 15). Serum TBil levels, bile leakage,and complications were observed and compared. Results No increase in serum TBil level was observed in the control group. However, serum TBil levels were significantly increased in the primary suture group compared to the GBDD group (P＜0. 01). GBDD were all successfully withdrawn at mean (7. 0±1.7) days after the operation. No bile leakage was found in the GBDD group, which was significantly different compared to 5/10 bile leakage cases in primary suture group (P＜0. 05). There were 3/10 cases of bile peritonitis, infection of incisional wound and splitted in the primary suture group, while there were no such complications in the GBDD group (all P＞0.05). Conclusions GBDD is safe and feasible. It can shorten biliary drainage time and prevent occurrence of bile leakage.Therefore, it has unique value in clinical application.

Aim To investigate the difference of aortic function between renal hypertension rat(2K1C) and renal hypertensive-hyperlipidemia rat(RHHR).Methods Animals were divided into 3 groups: the sham-operated group,RHHR and 2K1C model groups.The vascular function test was performed in vitro.The response of aortic ring to phenylephrine(PE),acetylcholine(ACh) and sodium nitroprusside(SNP) was measured.Then aortic ring was incubated with nitricoxide synthase inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester(L-NAME) and its response to Ach was observed.Results The contraction in response to PE was augmented in the two model groups.ACh-induced vasorelaxation was reduced in both model groups,and such relaxation was more depressed in RHHR than that in 2K1C.The ability of relaxation evoked by NO was impaired in two model groups.SNP elicited complete relaxation in three groups,but the sensitivity to SNP was more decreased in RHHR than those in sham-operated and 2K1C groups.Conclusion These findings suggest that the vasodilation function of aorta is more impaired in RHHR than that in 2K1C group.The decrease in utilization of vascular smooth muscle to NO induced by hyperlipidemia may contribute to the main cause.

Objective To investigate the effect of vardenafil on high altitude pulmonary hypertension in rats, and the possible mechanism thereof. Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group with normal-pres?sure and normal-oxygen (group C), pulmonary hypertension group with low-pressure and low-oxygen (group P), and the group treated by vardenafil in low-pressure and low-oxygen condition (group V). The rats of group P and group V were ex?posed to low-pressure and low-oxygen condition in an auto-modulating hypobaric and hypoxic cabin to simulate 5 000 m high altitude environment (air pressure 50 kPa, oxygen concentration 10%) for 8 hours daily. Vardenafil (1 mg/kg) was given by gastrogavage to rats in group V once daily for 4 weeks, while the isodose distilled water was given by gastrogavage to rats in group C and group P. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular mass index were measured respectively after 4-week treatment. Morphologic changes of peripheral pulmonary artery were detected by light microscope. The serum levels of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were detected as well. Results The pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular mass index were significantly higher in group P than those of group C and group V (P<0.05). The ratio of vascular medial wall thickness to external diameter (WT%) and the ratio of pulmonary artery wall area to tube area (WA%) were significantly increased in group P than those of group C and group V (P<0.05). Furthermore, the serum level of NO was significantly lower in group P than that of group C and group V, but the serum level of ET-1 was significantly increased compared with that of group C and group V (P<0.05). Conclusion Vardenafil can effectively reduce the pulmonary arteri?al pressure, and attenuate pulmonary vessels and right ventricle remodeling induced by high altitude pulmonary hypertension.

Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET combined with thin layer CT scanning is a very effective method to clinical diagnosis the malignant degree of SPN.

This study aimed to investigate the immune adjuvant effect and mechanism induced by chitosan nanoparticles carrying pJME/GM-CSF. In this study, plasmid DNA (pJME/GM-CSF) was encapsulated in chitosan to prepare chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles using a complex coacervation process. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the type of infiltrating cells at the site of intramuscular injection. The phenotype and functional changes of splenic DCs were measured by flow cytometry after different immunogens were injected intramuscularly. The killing activity of CTLs was assessed using the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. The preparation of chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles matched the expected theoretical results. Our results also found that, after pJME/GM-CSF injection, the incoming cells were a mixture of macrophages, neutrophils, and immature DCs. Meanwhile, pJME/GM-CSF increased the expression of MHC class II molecules on splenic DCs, and enhanced their Ag capture and presentation functions. Cell-mediated immunity was induced by the vaccine. Furthermore, chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles outperformed the administration of standard pJME/GM-CSF in terms of DC recruitment, antigen processing and presentation, and vaccine enhancement. These findings reveal that chitosan could be used as delivery vector for DNA vaccine intramuscular immunizations, and enhance pJME/GM-CSF-induced cellular immune responses.
