Objective:To accumulate dendritic cells(DC) into the peripheral blood and induce the specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte against tumor.Methods:B220~-CD11c~+ cells were sorted from the peripheral blood of C57BL/6 mice injected i.v.with P.acnes,and cultured for about six days in the presence of GM-CSF,IL-4 and mTNF-?.Phenotype and mixed leukocyte reaction(MLR) of these cells were assayed.CTL to anti-tumor,which was developed by cultured B220~CD11c~+ cells loading tumor antigen,was detected.Results:B220~-CD11c~+ cells were rapidly accumulated in the circulation of the mice after P.acnes injection.These cells could differentiate into mature DC when cultured in the presence of cytokines for several days.Moreover,cultured B220~-CD11c~+ cells loading tumor antigen could stimulate naive splenic CD3~+T cells generate high level of IFN-? and tumor specific cytolytic reactivity in vitro.Conclusion:B220~-CD11c~+ DC precursors rapidly accumulated in the peripheral blood after injection of(P.acnes) in mice.T cells could develop specific CTL to anti-target tumor cells in vitro when stimulated with P.acnes-mobilized DC loading tumor antigen.

Objective To observe the effect of health education and installation of improved stove in control of coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis in Pingba County of Guizhou Province.Methods Two towns(Shizi and Qibo) of Pingba County that had implemented the health education and installed the improved stoves for control of coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis were selected as the investigation sites.Two villages in each selected town and 30 householders as well as all students of grade 4-6 were investigated.Questionnaires were made by survey of the fluorosis control knowledge,household investigations were used to know the use of household stoves,corn and peppers drying method,and the dental fluorosis of children aged 8-12 were examined by Dean methods before the intervention(2006) and after implementation(2009) of health education and improvement of stoves.Results The awareness of fluorosis control among students and households after the intervention was 97.36％ (405/416) and 86.46％(415/480),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(x2 =658.86,163.10,all P ＜ 0.01) compared with that before the intervention [32.19％(1083/3364),43.33％(130/300)].Correct using rate of the household stoves was 95.42％ (229/240) after the intervention and 45.85％ (3976/8672) before the intervention,the difference was statistically significant(x2 =230.25,P ＜ 0.01).The correct rates of drying corn and chili were 91.67％ (110/120) and 97.50％ (117/120) before the intervention,and 20.00％ (12/60),26.67％ (16/60) after the intervention,the difference was statistically significant(x2 =94.07,104.02,all P ＜ 0.01).The incidences of dental fluorosis of children aged 8-12 were 31.21％(1305/4182) after the intervention and 87.71％(2856/3256) before the intervention,the difference was statistically significant(x2 =2371.91,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The measures of health education and intervention of stove improvement in Pingba County of Guizhou Province for prevention and control of coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis is effective.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect and potential mechanisms about apoptosis induction and migration suppression of photodynamic therapy with a new photosensitizer, 9-hydroxypheophorbide-α (9-HPbD), and diode laser on HN-3 human laryngeal squamous cancer cells. METHOD: The attached HN-3 cancer cells were photosesitized with 0.29 μg/ml and 0.59 μg/ml 9-HPbD for 6 h and irradiated by 664 nm diode laser for 15 min at an energy density of 2.0 J/cm for activating 9-HPbD. Wound healing assay and photographing was respectively performed immediately after laser irradiation. Photographing focusing on the same location was repeated 12 h, 24 h and 36 h after PDT and cells migration distance counted respectively. H2DCFDA staining was used to assess accumulation of reactive oxygen series (ROS) 1 h after PDT. MTT assay, Hoechst33342/PI double staining, western blotting were respectively performed to assess cellular viability, apoptosis and the expression of Enos, p-c-Jun, EGFR. RESULT: Phototoxicity and apoptosis on HN-3 cells induced by 9-HPbD-PDT was exhibited in a dose-related manner. Neither 9-HPbD alone nor laser alone was cytotoxic to HN-3 cells. Generation of ROS was initiated immediately after PDT. The apoptotic cells, marked with condensed/fragmented blue or pink nuclei, and up-regulated expression of eNOS, p-c-Jun were subsequently induced 24 h after PDT. Coupled with a down-regulated expression of EGFR, a photosensitizer dose-ralated cell migration suppression was initiated by PDT. After pretreatment of GSH or ascorbic acid, a kind of antioxidant, the efficacy of PDT-induced apoptosis and migration suppression was partially inhibited. CONCLUSION Activation of p-c-Jun, eNOS and down-regulated expression of EGFR may respectively involve in the apoptosis induction and cell migration suppression after 9-HPbD-PDT. Generation of ROS may play an important role in the course of apoptosis induction and migration suppression of HN-3 cells initiated by 9-HPbD-PDT.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effects of insulin-glucose on myocardium in patients receiving cardiac valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS:Totally 120 patients receiving combined cardiac valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 60 cases in each group. All patients were given routine operation. Control group was given Thomas cardioplegia and oxygenated blood with a ratio of 1:4(V:V)to protect myocardium at 4 ℃. Besides that,the observation group was additionally given Insulin injec-tion 10 IU/L and Glucose injection 10 g/L added into Thomas cardioplegia at 4 ℃ to protect myocardium. The levels of plasma brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)and cardiac troponinⅠ(cTnⅠ)before anesthesia induction(T0),at the end of cardiopulmonary by-pass(T1),12 h(T2),24 h(T3),48 h(T4),and 72 h(T5)after surgery,the rate of recovery of automatic heartbeat after opening aor-ta,the application of vasoactive agent(dopamine)at T1 and the occurrence of postoperative complications were observed and com-pared between 2 groups. RESULTS:At T0,there was no statistical significance in the levels of plasma BNP and cTnⅠ between 2 groups(P>0.05). The levels of plasma BNP and cTnⅠin 2 groups at T1-5 were significantly higher than T0,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);the levels of cTnⅠ began to decrease at T4 and cTnⅠbegan to decrease at T5. However,the levels of BNP and cTnⅠwere significantly lower in observation group than in control group at T1-5,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After open-ing aorta,there was no statistical significance in the rate of recovery of automatic heartbeat between 2 groups(P>0.05). The dos-age of dopamine (at T1) and the incidence of complications in observation group were statistically lower than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No severe ADR was found in 2 groups during or after surgery. CONCLUSIONS:Insulin-glucose can alleviate myocardial damage, reduce the dosage of vasoactive agent and the incidence of postoperative complications in pa-tients receiving combined cardiac valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass with significant protective effect on myocardium with good safety.

Objective To investigate the anticancer effects and detailed mechanisms of Saikosaponin D (SSD) in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Methods Cell proliferation and apoptosis were tested by MTT assay and Annexin-V/PI assay respectively. The expressions of CCAAT enhancer binding protein β(C/EBPβ) and p53 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results SSD inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner and induced apoptosis at the concentration of 5.0mg/L. SSD significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of C/EBPβ and p53 in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion SSD exerts its anticancer effect by inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis partly through C/EBPβ-p53 signal pathway in HepG2 cells.
