Journal of Chinese Physician 2001;0(01):-
Objective To compare the two cell adhesion assay techniques based on 51 Cr release and 3H-TdR incorporation.Methods Firstly,the cells to be tested were cultured to confluence in the 96 well plate for 24 hours. After with 51 Cr or 3H-TdR label, the isotope labeled cells were add into plate wells and incubated for another 4 hours. Then the un-adhered cells were removed by gently washing. The cpm of two assay system were counted, the sensitivity and stability of two methods were compared.Results Assay methods based on 51 Cr release and 3H-TdR incorporation could both reflect the cell adhesion level correctly. In assaying sensitivity and stability showed that the 3H-TdR incorporation assay was better than in 51 Cr release assay.Conclusions Adhesion method based on isotope label could provide good sensitivity and stability. The sensitivity and stability of 3H-TdR incorporation is better than that of 51 Cr release assay.

Objective:To evaluate the levels of interleukin 18(IL-18) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs),livers and spleens in monkey endotoxic shock models.Methods:Cynomolgus monkeys were injected i.v. with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) (2.8 mg/kg) to prepare the endotoxic shock models. The mRNA levels of IL-18 in PBMCs,livers and spleens were tested by fluorescence semi-quantitative realtime reverse transcription(RT)-PCR and compared with that of TNF-? and IL-1?.Results:IL-18 mRNA expression in PBMCs remarkably increased at 120 min after LPS administration, so did in livers and in spleens at the same time. mRNA levels of TNF-? in PBMCs peaked at 60 min after LPS injection, and also increased markedly at 120 min in livers and spleens. IL-1? mRNA levels peaked at 60 min in PBMCs, and did not change so much in livers and in spleens.Conclusion:IL-18 mRNA expression in PBMCs can be up-regulated by LPS, but changed latterly than TNF-? and IL-1? in endotoxic shock cynomolgus monkeys. It is presumed that IL-18 can be produced by PBMCs and liver Kupffer cells(maybe splenic macrophages),and TNF-? is produced by a variety of cells, but IL-1? in bloodstream mainly come from PBMCs after LPS challenge.

In this study, the effects of blood glucose and blood pressure on the compliance of large and small arteries were investigated. The results showed that arterial compliances of both large and small arteries were decreased in patients with diabetes mellitus. In non-diabetic patients with well controlled blood pressure, the compliance of small arteries was markedly improved. These results suggested that both blood glucose and blood pressure affected arterial compliance.

Objective To investigate the regulation of protein kinase C(PKC) to the expression of β-1,4-galactusyhransferase- Ⅰ ( β-1,4-GalT- Ⅰ ) and the influence on cytoskeleton and adherence ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) when stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Cultured HUVECs were pretreated by various PKC inhibitors or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acctate( PMA), an excitomotor of PKC respectively for 30 min, then stimulated by LPS for 4 h. β-1,4-GalT-Ⅰ expression were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, expression of β-1,4-galactosylated carbohydrate chains and cytoskeleton were assayed by immumofluorescence, and adherence ability of HUVECs was observed by endothelialmonocyte cell adherence test. Results Up-regulated expression of β-1,4-GalT- Ⅰ and β-1,4-galactosylated carbohydrate chains in HUVECs stimulated by LPS were suppressed by PKC inhibitors and increased by PMA. F-actin and β-1,4-GalT- Ⅰ were partly co-localized in HUVECs. PKC inhibitor inhibited the effect of LPS on the distribution of F-actin and β-1,4-GalT- Ⅰ. Adherence ability of HUVECs enhanced by LPS was significantly suppressed by PKC inhibitor. Conclusion PKC signal transduction pathway may participate in regulating β-1,4-GalT-Ⅰ expression in endothelial cells stimulated by LPS. Furthermore, polytypes of PKC may participate in this regulating process; PKC might regulate cytoskeleton reorganization and adherence ability of EC through β-1,4-GalT-Ⅰ during inflammation.

Objective:To study the role of indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging in laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS).Methods:The data of 4 patients who underwent ICG fluorescence imaging technology for LPS at Beijing Luhe Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 females and 1 male, aged 46, 41, 27 and 12 years respectively. The extents of spleen preservation were compared between ICG fluorescence imaging with ordinary white light during operation. The residual splenic remnants were tested with fluorescence imaging after splenectomy, which showed fluorescence fading indicating good vascular perfusion.Results:ICG fluorescence imaging was performed on 4 patients. The operation time ranged from 180.0 to 250.0 min, and the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 40.0 to 200.0 ml. The postoperative hospital stay ranged from 4 to 14 days. There were no serious complications. Postoperative histopathology showed: splenic cyst ( n=1), splenic hemangioma ( n=2), and splenic laceration ( n=1). Conclusions:ICG fluorescence imaging technology had a significant role to play in partial splenectomy. This study showed this technique to improve safety of laparoscopic partial splenectomy.
